Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 862

[Chapter 109 Decision of the Samonai Tribal Alliance]

“Leskuk, this is what you call a goddamn lure! 5000…5000 heroic Samonite warriors are gone! And my best friend Usibek…Usibek !…”

Segovani cursed angrily, but his eyes suddenly turned red: Usibik and him were of the same age, and the two tribal territories were adjacent to each other. After the death of Utini’s previous great leader, Usibek gave up his competition for the position of great leader and fully supported him, which enabled him to defeat Quindok and become the new great leader of Cautini; After the capture, it was Usibek and the other leaders who resisted Quinduk’s pressure to re-elect the leader, took the initiative to cooperate with other tribe leaders, and finally rescued him…

Segovani was restless and irritable .

It is difficult to get close to him. He has few friends, but he has a deep friendship with Usibik for decades. Hearing the news of his death at this moment, he immediately lost control of his emotions.

“Lesguk, don’t blame Segovani for scolding you. You have been in bad relations with Gellney for more than ten years, but you didn’t raise your vigilance against him, and didn’t detect the signs of Abenerum’s mutiny in time. For this failure, You really have to bear a lot of responsibility!” Badani, the chief of Pentney, also made a rebuke, thinking that he was apprehensive about starting a war with Dionia, but was persuaded by Leskuk, and the war has now started. , the coalition suffered successive defeats, and the Pentneys suffered heavy losses, and his dissatisfaction with Leskuk was also increasing.

“Okay, now that things have happened, what’s the use of blaming each other now! That damn traitor once solemnly swore an oath to the high priest, but he still betrayed our entire Samonai alliance, which is the first time in the history of our race. Once, who would have thought of it! Although the plan to lure the enemy was proposed by Leskuk, it was decided by us together. At that time, no one warned that Abenirum and Potenti should be careful. The demi-humans, we’ve all ignored it…” Contruk, the leader of Caracheni, sighed. As the oldest of the four leaders, although he has a fiery temper, at this moment, he knows that in times of crisis, he needs more assurance. The unity of the entire tribal alliance.

“Now that the Dionysian coalition has entered the mountains, and it is a huge army, our homeland is under serious threat, and then we must take immediate action to prevent further enemy invasion, protect our territory and Nation!” Contruk reminded extremely solemnly.

“In this way, we must stop the siege of Naples, which is a bit of a pity.” Pentney’s chief leader Badani said that, but there was no regret on his face. These days, the Samone coalition forces have been ravaged. Most of the city-states of the Campalia Alliance, but they have no way to take Naples with its high walls and thick walls.

The siege ability of the Samonai tribe coalition army was lackluster. If it weren’t for the fact that there was a plan to lure the enemy earlier, the army would have withdrawn from the siege long ago. Now the plan to lure the enemy has been shattered, so the other three have no objection to this.

“But where are we going to withdraw our troops to meet the enemy? You know the

Dionysians were near Aquilonia a day ago, and there is no update on them. It’s only 200 miles away, and by the time we get to Aquilonia with our army, the Dionysians don’t know where they will go.” Badani raised an important question.

“Lesguk, what advice do you have?” Kontruk asked. After all, the Dionian coalition was operating in Shirpini’s territory, and Lesquk should be more familiar with the situation there.

When he heard the news that “the army that remained in the mountains was defeated”, Leskuk was first shocked, then ashamed, then terrified… So, when Segovani and Badani accused him, he also Thinking hard about how to deal with this crisis, although he was a little angry in his heart, he did not show it. As Kontruk said, he needed the whole tribal alliance to work together to drive away the raging Daisies in Shilpini territory. Onia coalition forces, he glanced at Segovani who was still in grief, and thought in his heart: I didn’t find Abenerum’s abnormality, but you occupied the more closely related Abenerum. Nakonia, with many cronies in its territory, did not notice any changes in Abenerum’s army either.

Of course, he wouldn’t say these words

“We should withdraw our troops to Beneventoum! Not because of my selfishness, but because Abenirum, who is very close to Beneventoum, has betrayed Samone, and in this way, Dio The coalition organized by the Nias can successfully pass through Abenerum and attack Beneventum! Once they are allowed to occupy Beneventum, then Kautim will also be greatly threatened—”

Having said that, Lesguk looked at Segovani, and he firmly believed that even if the great leader of Kautini mourned the death of his best friend, he should understand that the loss of Beneventum would cause damage to Kautim. What a threat, after all, the two towns are adjacent to each other, only more than ten miles apart, and Kautini is located on a small plain in the middle of the mountains, the terrain is not dangerous, so he believes that Segovani will eventually support him.

“What if the Dionysians did not attack Beneventom, but continued to attack north after capturing Aquilonia?” Badani immediately raised his concerns, as he was worried about heavy troops The defense of Bereventum leaves the eastern part of the mountain defenses empty, and if the Dionian army goes all the way north, it will threaten the territory of Pentney and Caracheni.

Therefore, Contruk also expressed concern.

Lesguk shook his head and said: “The Dionysian coalition will not do that, because our army is not only stationed in Beneventum, but can also attack Abenerum. The occupation of Abenerum not only protects the card The security of Utienne’s territory, through which it can continue to threaten Portentia, I am afraid this is what the Dionians are worried about.”

“Leskouk is right, I am in favor of withdrawing to Benevento. Mum!” Segovani expressed his support loudly, without the grief and indignation of scolding Leskuk before.

The two most powerful clan leaders in the alliance have reached an agreement. Contruk and Badani actually have no more choices, not to mention that they also feel that Lesguk is right.

Just as the four of them were discussing the retreat, Badani couldn’t help but say: “Actually, we… can consider a truce with Dionia…”

The three listened, and their hearts were shocked: since the war with Dionia, the Samona Tribe Alliance has suffered successive defeats and suffered heavy losses. Many tribal leaders have complained, and even their own confidence in the war has been shaken.

However, Leskuk was the first to object: “We tore up the Covenant, declared war on Dionia, invaded the Dawney area, and plundered the Campania League, all of which seriously violated Dionia. It’s a big taboo for people, that tough King Dionia can’t negotiate with us at all, he can’t wait to completely eliminate us who are constantly causing trouble for him, so we can only continue to fight until there is a turning point.”

Leskull Ke understands: If the Samonai Alliance really surrenders to Dionia, he will be the first victim, because Gellney, who has taken refuge in Dionia, will never spare him, so his attitude is very firm.

“Transfer? What?” Badani asked with a slightly gloomy expression.

“Defeat the Dionysians in the next battle! Or wait for Dionysus to be defeated on other battlefields!” Segovani took over, and he was equally clear in his heart: if the Samonai Alliance really wanted to fight with Dio Nia stopped the war, and he would never have good fruit to eat, because he was the perpetrator of the war, and he also ensnared Quinduk, who was supported by Dionia, and killed and arrested so many Nakonians who believe in Hades.

But instead of saying it, he found a better reason: “Badani, don’t be stupid! Think of the last Tarantum who broke the covenant and fought against Dionia! Nan After the Italian War, they surrendered to Dionia and became that free city. As a result, their territory was greatly divided, and they could not have their own army. The citizens of the entire city-state were kept in captivity like cattle and sheep. Do you want our Samonai Alliance to become the second Tarantum?! Even if we want to negotiate, we have to create more trouble for Dionysus and force him to take the initiative to negotiate, so that we can get more in the negotiation. Equal status, make a peace that is more beneficial to us!”

“Peace talks?! Hmph, we are the descendants of Suwanee, and we must not submit to any force! As long as the independence of the alliance cannot be guaranteed, we will fight to the end, even if it is death!” Contruk The oldest, but the most fighting spirit, shouted to Badani in the tone of an elder: “Show your courage, your father’s soul wandering in the Temple of Suwanee is still waiting for you to wash away his shame!

” The strong opposition of the three chiefs, Badani said with a haha, “You are right, the Alliance can only survive by fighting Dionia to the end…”

Late at night, from Beneventu Mu’s messenger arrived at the Samonay camp and brought the news that “a large army is stationed in the territory of Abenirum”, which increased the urgency of the four chiefs to withdraw their troops to Beneventum immediately. .

At the same time, a clipper ship from Enona, draped in the darkness, sailed into the port of Naples under the guidance of the light of the lighthouse.

Not long after, the candles in the meeting hall of Naples were lit, and the high-level officials of Naples, the high-level leaders of the allied countries who had taken refuge, and the reinforcement generals of the alliance gangs came one after another.
