Chapter 110 Pleasure
"Sir Hiros, don't worry, I will make the tribes loyal to the alliance and satisfy you and the Senate!" The excited Vitotilu immediately expressed his stance to Hiros.
"Vitotilu, you traitor!" Kadulke's eyes widened, wishing he could eat the old guy he had always trusted.
"You are the traitor, the traitor of our Dionia! The tribesmen are happy to enjoy a stable life under the rule of the Alliance, but you are pushing us to war!" Vitotilu pointed at him and scolded him sharply.
"Gag his mouth!" At Hiros's reminder, the soldiers blocked Kadulke's mouth with rags, and his anger and fear could only be turned into that "Woooo" low hum...
……………………………………
Hiros returned to the city of Cosenzane, just in time to meet the cavalry that came from the Turii starry night. They did not catch up with Petaru and the others, but they brought the order of the Senate. Hiros has taken action, and the fate of the Senate is equivalent to confirmation of the backup.
As Hiros approached the city hall, Adepikis greeted him and asked anxiously, "Have you caught anyone?"
"Caught Kadulke." Hiros said gratefully, "Thanks to the news that you risked your life for!"
You must know that traveling at night in the Bruti region is a taboo, let alone riding in the dark, wrestling is the second, and the most terrifying is the beast wandering in the wilderness. Adepikis was well aware of this situation. In order to prevent accidents, he borrowed another horse from Bisinia and galloped towards Cosenza with two horses. hoof. He immediately changed horses, and drove the injured horse off the road (who knew that the injured horse later returned to the side of the road and was eaten by wolves, which also made Petaru and the others on their guard), and finally brought the news to Hiros.
Hearing Hiros's praise, Adepygis did not show a trace of pride, he was no longer the vile slave he used to be. As the intelligence officer arranged by Davos in the Bruti area, the chief executives of several Bruti towns had to rely on his intelligence in order to keep abreast of the movements of the tribes in the area and take measures in advance to ensure that there would be no trouble in this area. , so I dare not underestimate him, not to mention Davos is standing behind him.
"Has Hegositus returned?" Hiros asked.
"No news from him yet," replied Adepygis.
Hegsitus was the leader of the survivors of the Siru tribe. After Dionysus conquered Bruti, Davos placed the Sirus tribe near the city of Cosenza, and made Hegsitus the Inspector (Intermediate) of Cosenza. In fact, because he knew the Bruti region very well, and was more like an assistant to the administrator of Cosenza, many measures that were beneficial to the stability of the Bruti region came from his suggestions.
When conflicts occurred, he was the first to mediate, and he became a powerful arm of the Cosenza administrator.
"It seems that what those people under Kadulke said may be true. Petaru did not come to Cosenza, but went directly to the south." Hiros strode into the city hall.
In the office room belonging to the chief executive, Hieronymus was waiting anxiously. He only came to Cosenza this afternoon, and has not yet started recruiting soldiers, but in the evening he received a notice from Hiros that there may be a rebellion.
Surprised and excited, he felt that he could finally be useful.
At this time, Hiros, who knew Hieronymus' character, entered the house without courtesy, and said bluntly: "Kadulk was caught, he admitted the fact that he was 'preparing to rebel', but Bergam and Peeta Lu didn't catch it!" Hiros said regretfully, and went straight to his desk, where a large map of the Bruty region hung on the wall.
Hiros pointed to the lower left of the map and continued: "Bergam must have gone to the Ambalia region, where he has been a great leader for more than 20 years and has a high prestige. Although Bruty was merged into our alliance, The city of Ambalia was demolished (Davers believed that the city of Ambalia was remote, the land was poor, and it could not accommodate too many people. Building a city was too wasteful of administrative resources and would increase the danger of rebellion, so after the elders After discussion in the courtyard, it was demolished), and the tribes there were relocated several times, and now Ambaria still has a population about... uh-"
"There are about 5,000 people in the Ambaria area. Even if all of them are persuaded by Bergam, they will only be able to gather more than a thousand soldiers." Adepikis, who entered the room, immediately added.
After all, Hiros has only been in Bruti for a month, and he has only a preliminary understanding of the situation here. Of course, he is not familiar with Adepikis, who has been rooted in Bruti for many years. DePygis will give a detailed introduction.
"If Petaru doesn't come to Cosenza, he will definitely go here—" Adepigis didn't refuse, he went straight to the map and pointed to the left side of the map: "Here is a tribe under his jurisdiction, with an approximate population of There are 6000 people. If you are going to crusade the rebels, I suggest attacking here first. Although this tribe is farther away from Cosenza, it is still located on the Cosenza Plateau, and there are other tribes living around. The tribe will have a great impact. The key point is that it is also close to Clapetia, and it can escape Bruti through the mountain trail at any time and go to the Syracuses, which will cause very bad results.
Most of the tribes in Ambalia surround Lake Cechita, and some tribes live in the mountains. It takes a lot of time for Bergam to gather them, and we only need to put Ambalia together. The road to the Cosenza Plateau is blocked, and Bergam can only risk his way over the mountains to enter the Cosenza Plateau, or follow the rugged river valley eastward to the city of Aspurustum. Facing the two elders of the Senate, Adepiggis spoke his opinion very confidently.
"Well said!" Heiros praised loudly: "I think we can do what Adepygis said."
Hieronymus nodded, then said, "How many are you giving me?"
He said it briefly, but Hiros understood what he meant: after all, he was the chief executive of Cosenza, and to sit in the central city of Bruti, the mission of the crusade could only be carried out by Hieronymus.
"Tomorrow, I can call up 2,000 independent Brutians from the city of Cosenza, and a thousand from the tribes outside the city, and try to complete the assembly by noon. Other than that, I can't give you more More troops, because I still need some soldiers to be stationed in Cosenza, to beware of other tribes being affected by this and causing riots." Hiros said in a deep voice.
"3,000 people is enough." Hieronymus replied simply, and then pointed to Adepikis: "I want you to go with me."
"I'm very happy, Lord Hieronymus!" Adepigis replied happily.
"Tomorrow morning, I will send messengers to Knapetia and Vig City to inform the two adults, Asistes and Saru, and let them be vigilant and try their best to cooperate with you. In addition, I also Send someone to rush back to Turii, and ask the Senate to inform Lord Agarcia of Asprostum City, beware of these traitors slipping away from the river valley!" Finally, Hiros told his own arrangements.
……………………………………
The next day, Hieronymus led the assembled 3,000 reserve soldiers to the south and marched urgently...
Petaru was quick enough to persuade more than half of the tribe to follow him in defecting from the Dionian Alliance. And he also sent people to the surrounding tribes to spread "The army of Syracuse invaded the territory of Dionia, and the army of Dionia was defeated and was about to perish!" Such rumors made people panic. .
Even some tribal leaders came to him uneasy to ask him for advice.
He took the opportunity to talk about the many years of discrimination he still suffered in Turii as the leader of the Bruti tribe and the elder of the Senate, as well as the grievances in his heart. Speaking of sadness, even with tears in his eyes.
His words just spoke to the fears of the chiefs: Dionia's deliberate and continuous promulgation of laws is accelerating the disintegration of the tribe, and even Petaru, who became the senator of the Senate, is forced to do so, let alone them.
So some leaders began to consider: whether to follow Petaru against Dionia's rule.
Just when Petaru rejoiced at the success of his plan, plotting to create an anti-Dionysian alliance of Brutian tribes and set off a frenzy of rebellion against Dionia throughout the Cosenza Plateau, Hieronymus's The army was approaching.
Petaru, who was ignorant of what happened to the Kadulk tribe last night, was stunned. Originally, they had imagined that the Senate would confirm their disappearance at least today. People come to the tribe to find them, and they will be ready by then, and they will be able to deal with the Dionysians in Bruti while the army of Syracuse is overwhelmed and the troops in Dionia are empty. some time. However, the Dionysian army came so quickly, completely beyond his expectations, that last night's worry had become a reality.
Petaru hurriedly sent people out, wanting to argue with the generals and buy time for himself.
Unexpectedly, Hieronymus ignored him at all, and directly led his army into the tribal settlement to capture Petaru.
The panicked Petaru sent his clan to block him, but he rode quietly and tried to escape.
The hastily formed troops were crushed by Hieronymus, and then they stared at Petaru and chased after him.
Eventually Petaru's mount was shot by an arrow, throwing him off his horse and being captured by Hieronymus.
Hieronymus tied him and nearly a thousand people who resisted with ropes, strung them into long rows, driven by spears, and walked between the settlements of various tribes. All those who saw this scene. The tribal leaders were all nervous and their legs trembled.
