Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 106: Bruti Vibration

Bergam quickly read the letter, and then cautiously said to Nikuru, who had not recovered his calm yet: "The letter says that some Bisinian survivors have fled to Cosenza... Nikuru, you can go to Kosenza first. Senza, confirm if this is true."

After speaking, he handed the letter over.

Nikuru stared blankly at the papyrus that Bogam handed over, as if it was not paper, but a burning fire. He hurriedly avoided it and sat back in place, his eyes blank: "What should I do? I What should I do?……"

Hearing Nikuru's helpless murmurs, Pangailu and Bergam looked at each other with shock and confusion in their eyes: they were still celebrating the victory just now, and they were going out of the city full of confidence, wanting to meet Dionysus. Asian Showdown! In the blink of an eye, this self-confidence and arrogance were shattered by this amazing news. What should we do?

They are also thinking painfully...

"I must go back! I must go back immediately! Take back my Bissinia and save my people!" Nikuru stood up suddenly and strode out.

When Pangailu heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Don't worry, it's still unclear what happened to Bisinia. We will send people to scout first, and wait for news from Pian Lun and the others. After negotiating, it is not too late to act.”

"It's not that Knapetia was occupied, of course you are not in a hurry! If you wait any longer, all my people in Bisinia are dead!" Nikuru threw these words unceremoniously without looking back. out of Pangail's mansion.

"What the chief of Nikuru said just now is right, now is not the time to wait." Bergam walked over and said to Pangailu, who was a little absent-minded: "Bessinia has fallen, and we are defending against Dioria. The plan has already failed. Now our biggest fear is that Dionysian's large force will come out of Vicinia, and we are all in danger! I must immediately lead the soldiers of Ambalia to Cosenza quickly , go there to meet with Pianlon, and then discuss what to do next."

"You are all gone, what about the enemies here?!" Pangelu said in a panic.

"Didn't you see, we were all deceived by the Dionians!" Bergam said angrily: "The enemy here is just the bait for the Dionians to attract us, and their real focus of attack is on In the direction of Xenia!"

Bogam said goodbye and left, Pangailu was stunned for a while, then cursed a few times: "Damn coward!..." I don't know if he was scolding the Dionysians or the two big leaders.

………………

In Vig City, Cosenza's chief leader Pian Lun, chief Petaru, and Vig city's chief chief Sedorum are discussing the withdrawal of the army.

It turned out that in addition to the first few violent attacks and the capture of a camp by the Dionysians, then due to the stubborn resistance of the Brutians, the Dionysians' offensive gradually weakened, and they almost stopped attacking in recent days. . Therefore, Sedorum was moved, and he suggested to Pian Lun: "Big chief, judging from the current state of action of the Dionians, their fighting spirit is weakening, and we can completely resist their next actions. Offensive, so I suggest leaving only a small number of Cosenza troops to assist in the defense of Vig City. The main force can return to Cosenza first and become a reserve force for the entire war to deal with the attack of the Dionysians from other directions, and at the same time It can also greatly reduce the pressure on the food supply…”

Indeed, tens of thousands of Cosenza warriors were stationed in Vig City, mostly idle. You must know that the union of the various tribes of Bruti is only a matter of two years. The contradictions and hatreds of the past few decades will not disappear so quickly, and the first close contact between the two cities has been so long, conflicts and conflicts have arisen. Conflict is inevitable, so Pianlon thinks Sedorum's proposal is acceptable, which will also help reduce friction.

After deliberation, he finally decided: he led 8,000 soldiers back to Cosenza, and Petaru led 2,000 people to continue to assist the Vigos in defending the city.

Petaru is one of the members of the "Seven Elders", the highest authority of the Bruti Tribal Alliance, and is the youngest one.

Piaron has no sons, and there are no outstanding figures in the tribe, and as a lofty tribal leader, Piaron has been working hard to unify the tribes of Bruti, so he is not narrow-minded, he will Her own daughter married Petaru, the leader of the second largest tribe in Cosenza City, and tried her best to help and promote Petaru, despite the opposition of the tribe and other big leaders, insisting that she become the elder of the newly established tribal alliance. One, not only because Petaru is his son-in-law in order to increase Cosenza's weight in the Alliance Elders, but also he hopes that after his death, Petaru can use his identity as his son-in-law to truly let Cosenzadi The first and second tribes merged together to become the most powerful tribe in the Bruti area, then Petaru's leadership in the alliance would be unshakable, and it would also enable the tribal alliance to develop continuously and stably.

Petaru readily accepted this decision, and he was willing to stay in Vig City for a while longer to deepen his understanding of Vig City and enhance his friendship with the Vig leaders. Although Nikuru and the others despised Sedorum and secretly called him a "traitor and coward", the strength of Vig City was not weak, and it was worthy of Cosenza's wooing.

The battle continued until now, and several leaders felt that Bruti was in a good situation, and their previous worries about Dionia's powerful forces were relieved a lot, so several people talked happily until the messenger panicked into the discussion hall.

The shocking news of "The Fall of Vicinia" shocked everyone present.

Pian Lun, who has always been calm, actually expressed strong suspicions about this news, just like Nikuru, and seemed unwilling to believe this fact until he confirmed the letter from the High Priest Philotaru.

He is still like this, not to mention other people, the whole hall fell into a cold silence...

After a long time, Sedorum said bitterly: "We were deceived! The Dionysians attacked Vig and Knapetia just to distract our troops and divert our attention. Their real goal should be Vicinia!"

As the newly established leader of the Bruti Tribal Alliance, Pian Lun, after the silence just now, he had already adjusted his emotions, he suppressed the pain caused by this sudden blow, and said loudly: "We still have hope! The main force of Dionia is determined here, and there are nearly 10,000 Dionias in Knapetia, so the enemy in Bisinia should not be many. We should mobilize the army immediately to take advantage of the enemy Haven't gathered a large number of troops in Bisinia and quickly recaptured Bisinia!"

Sedorum also said immediately: "Even if Bisinia cannot be recaptured, at least the road leading to the Cosenza Plateau from Bisinia must be blocked!"

Pianlon glanced at Sedorum, he felt that the big leader of Vig City was a little pessimistic, but at this time he obviously didn't have time to care too much, he said to Petaru: "I will ride first. , rush back to Cosenza, to urge other tribes that have just joined the alliance to provide as many warriors as possible, and at the same time inform Nikuru and Bergam to bring their troops back to Cosenza to rendezvous. And you lead ten thousand Cosenza Soldiers hurry back!"

"Got it, big boss!" Petaru felt a lot more at ease after hearing Pian Lun's arrangement.

"Elder Sedorum, I'm sorry, you can only rely on yourself here!" Although the other big leaders were not used to it, Pian Lun always insisted on using the alliance's new position to refer to them.

"Don't worry, Chief." Sedorum replied confidently: "Since Vig City is not the focus of the Dionysian attack, I have the confidence to hold it here! But... Chief Nikuru heard that. I don’t know what will happen with this news.”

Sedorum's words reminded Pian Lun, and his face changed: "You are right, I must leave immediately."

Pianlon and Petaru left one after another, and Sedorum was stunned.

Saru, who had been silent all the time, stepped forward and said, "Big Chief, look... can we retake Bisinia?"

Sedorum sighed: "Who knows... The consul of Dionysus is making a lot of fun with us. After winning the city of Bisinia, isn't he ready?"

Saru opened his mouth and stammered: "You mean...you mean...we will lose?!"

Sedorum sighed again: "I'm afraid only Amara and Brutus will know this..."

……………………

A war broke out between Dionia and the Brutians, and more than half of the citizens of Turii went to war. The city became somewhat depressed, and only the Temple of Hades was overcrowded. After the shock of the ceremonies and the tireless publicity of the subordinates commanded by the chief priest Plessinas during this period, the people of Turii and Amendolara have put their trust in this man who is strict and cruel among the Olympian gods. A god who is known for being eerie and scary.

There were people crawling and praying all over the hillside, hoping that the Dionysian army would defeat the Brutians as soon as possible, so that their relatives could return safely.

Plessinas led the priests, priests, and saints of the Temple of Hades... Every day, he comforted the people who came to pray, and did his best to help them, providing drinking water, shelter, and even doctors...

For the safety of Turii, the Senate decided to temporarily strictly investigate the pedestrians entering the city gate, and only citizens could enter and exit.

Compared with the deserted city of Turii, the port and the market are still busy: truckloads of grains, salted fish, meat, and weapons are pulled from the port and the market in an endless stream to the outside of Turii. , and then unified deployment by Mercis. At the beginning of the war some of these loads were sent to the barracks in the west of the city (where the 2nd Legion was originally hidden). Most pass through the mountains and are sent to Laos. There is also a small part by sea to Siriting, and then to Trina.
