Chapter 347 The Anger of the Boyi
There is also news in the Temple of Danu: The high priest Maximus will come to the temple in the days of spring to worship the goddess and pray to her to bless the newlyweds in the tribe to have children smoothly!
As a result, the staff responsible for marriage registration in the Ministry of Justice became even busier, and countless newlyweds were looking forward to the arrival of the spring worship ceremony hosted by Maximus.
Compared with the joy everywhere in the territory of the Knicks tribe, Bricks, the leader of Broch, was feeling cold. His carefully planned attack on the Knicks not only failed, but both teams were almost wiped out. , especially the two leaders Pricas and Iberus have not been able to escape and their lives are unknown. This has dealt a great blow to Brix, because without them, it would be difficult for anyone else to bring the exiled people back. The people of Segestika and Lake Gonami organized themselves again and continued to cause trouble for the Nyx people.
Brix is now very regretful: he shouldn't have launched an attack on the Knicks in such a hurry. In fact, as long as these two leaders exist, they will provide a lot of help to Broch in the future against the Knicks.
At the same time, Bricks was also worried that this raid would anger the Knicks, who would take the opportunity to attack the Gonami Lake area, and even threaten Broch... so he kept watching closely with anxiety in the next few days. The situation in the Gonami Lake area, but instead of waiting for the Knicks army, a messenger from the tribal alliance arrived.
It turned out that the Boi envoys arrived at the headquarters of the Pannoni Tribal Alliance, met with the Maqiyi leader Metilis, and told him clearly: The Boi leaders were very dissatisfied with the Pannoni Tribal Alliance. Since both sides had decided to jointly To deal with the Dacians, a military alliance was formed for this purpose, so we should focus on this aspect instead of using this alliance to launch other wars.
The Bois did not care about the defeats suffered by the Pannoni in fighting other tribes. They only cared about whether the Pannoni could fulfill their covenant, because the Boi were about to launch a war against the Dacians. If the Pannoni could not send reinforcements If they participate in the battle, the Boi will regard the Pannoni as violating the covenant, and they will naturally "repay" in the future...
Obviously, the response given by the Poi people to the Pannoni envoys who intentionally went to Poi for help was angry, tough, and even threatening...
For such a major matter related to the life and death of the Pannoni tribe, Maitilis did not dare to make a decision alone, so he had to send messengers to the major tribes to request an urgent tribal alliance meeting.
Unlike previous tribal alliance meetings, only six chiefs attended this meeting, because the chief of Segostika had died in the battle and there was no new one to take over. Originally, the chiefs like Pulikas, Iberus or They can participate as temporary representatives, but these two people have not returned since they went to harass the Nyx people. With the current situation of the Segostika tribe, they really can't find suitable people to participate in the meeting, so they can only give up.
When the six chiefs sat in the tribal alliance meeting hall and saw the empty chair, they couldn't help but feel sad.
As soon as the meeting began, everyone had a fierce dispute about "whether to send troops to participate in the war launched by the Boii against the Dacians."
Brix firmly opposed sending troops. The reason was that the alliance suffered heavy losses in the previous war with the Nyx, and it was really unable to send troops to fight in a short period of time. Moreover, the Dacians now pose less of a threat to the Pannoni Alliance. , On the contrary, the Knicks have become the biggest threat to the alliance. If the alliance takes away the few warriors from each tribe, then the Knicks entrenched in the territory of Segestica suddenly lead an army to invade, then who will resist... …
Maitilis, who was very considerate of the overall situation in the past, also expressed his opposition to sending troops this time. This is because Maziyi suffered a lot of losses in the war with Nicks, and even though they were separated by mountains and swamps, Maziyi was far away from Nick. The Segostika territory occupied by the Sri Lankan people is not far away, so the threat they receive is not small.
The attitude of Temagis, the great leader of Desitiatai, is rather ambiguous.
On the one hand, Daixi Tiatai also suffered heavy losses in the war with the Knicks. In addition, Temagis also suffered heavy losses in the battle at the temporary camp last year. Temagis fled back to the main camp alone and was unanimously criticized by the tribal elders. The people also expressed dissatisfaction with him, and it would undoubtedly be difficult to recruit people to fight abroad.
But on the other hand, Nix is a threat to Daixi Tiatai, and the Boi people are a greater threat to Daixi Tiatai. Daixi Tiatai fully borders the Boi people on the fertile land on the north bank of the Drau River. The alliance broke down, and the Boi people and Daixi Tiatai went to war again. With Daixi Tiatai's current strength, he will be no match at all...
The two great leaders Demikas and Pakilas also faced the same problem. Their territory to the north was close to the Boi people, and the threat in the words of the Boi people's envoy was very obvious. Their strength had been damaged. I don’t want to start another war with the Boi people.
Compared to Dexitiatai, Maziyi and Brochi, they suffered less losses in the previous war, and they are not bordering the newly occupied Segestica territory of Nyx. What choice will they make? Nature is obvious.
Antosius, the great leader of Andy, welcomed with both hands the sending of troops to participate in the war between the Boii and the Dacians.
Andy mentioned that he has not been able to capture the remnants of Skodischi all these years because of the support of the Dacians. If the Persian-Ilian coalition can completely defeat the Dacians this time, Andy will be troubled for many years. The problem will be solved.
In the end, the Pannonian tribal alliance meeting passed the decision of "continue to implement the alliance agreement with the Boii and send troops to participate in the war" with Antosius, Demicus and Pagylas in favor, Bricchus and Metilis against, and Temagis also voted in favor at the last moment.
However, after the meeting, Bricchus made it clear that because the tribe suffered heavy losses, it would be difficult for him to send troops to participate in the next war.
And Metilis and Temagis also successively proposed that their tribes were in a bad situation and could only send a few warriors to participate in the war.
In this regard, the other leaders did not force it.

There are many Buluo tribes and races living in the middle and lower reaches of the Danube River. The most powerful race is called Dacia.
Dacia is the name given to this race by the Mediterranean hegemon Rome, and before that, the Greeks called it Geta.
In fact, this race is a branch of the Thracians. They migrated from northern Greece to the lower reaches of the Danube a long time ago, then went up the river, crossed the Carpathian Mountains, entered the middle reaches of the Danube Plain, and began to settle in the east.
As time went on, when the Romans began to build cities, the Geta-Dacians had become the largest ethnic group among the northern Thracians.
During the Greco-Persian Wars, the Dacians first appeared in the vision of Mediterranean civilizations. At that time, the Persian King Darius led a huge army across the Hellespont, attempting to conquer the entire Greece, and of course, first conquer the Thracians widely distributed in northern Greece.
At that time, many Thracian tribes chose to surrender under the oppression of the powerful Persian army. Only the Dacians resisted bravely. Although they were eventually defeated, they won the respect of their Thracian compatriots and Greeks. The famous scholar Herodotus called the Dacians "the bravest and most upright Thracians."
After the Eastern Dacians were conquered by Persia, they never stopped resisting. The Dacian governor sent by the Persian Emperor Darius to control them gave birth to several Dacian tribal alliances in the constant battle to suppress rebellions, and then there were military commanders who were specifically in charge of these tribal alliances. The Dacians called them "kings" or "Persian kings".
In the following centuries, these elected kings led their tribal alliances to resist foreign enemies while fighting each other. They had fought with Alexander the Great and several monarchs of the subsequent Macedonian Kingdom.
With the decline of the Macedonian Kingdom, a more powerful enemy arrived.
The Romans were obviously more dangerous than the Macedonians. Greece surrendered, Macedonia surrendered, northern Greece surrendered, Asia Minor surrendered, Bithynia surrendered, and the unwilling Pontus was suffering a blow... The powerful Roman army could go north from northern Greece at any time, or invade the land of eastern Dacia by boat from the Black Sea.
The powerful external threat forced the tribes in East Dacia to stop fighting and form a more unified tribal alliance in order to resist foreign enemies and safeguard the security of the territory.
Most tribes turned their attention to the southern part of Transylvania and the Orasdi Mountains, where two outstanding Dacian leaders, Olores and Rubobostus, emerged successively. Under their leadership, the tribal alliance under their jurisdiction has become the most powerful force in East Dacia.
The current leader of the tribe is named Burebista. Although he succeeded to the throne at a very young age, he is more capable and more ambitious. From the day he became the leader, he was determined to unify the tribes in East Dacia (82 BC).
Burebista used both war and politics to unify East Dacia into a tribal alliance 10 years later, and he became the only king. And in the year before last (72 BC), he also led the alliance army to repel a Roman army (mainly Thracian auxiliary soldiers) that penetrated into Dobruja, making his reputation resound throughout the middle and lower reaches of the Danube.
Due to the barrier of the Carpathian Mountains, the area where the Dacians lived was divided into two parts, the East and the West. At first, the tribes on both sides had close contacts, but as time went on, due to different environments, they developed differently, and gradually the contacts between the East and the West became rare. If this continued, they might become like the Pannoni and the Ardae, not only strangers, but also fighting each other for interests.
