Chapter 33: The confrontation with Cincinnagar

Avinogis touched his son's head lovingly, with a little reluctance in his eyes. After a moment, he expressed his gratitude to Davers.

After this, the relationship between the two sides became much closer and the banquet became lively.

After toasting a few glasses of wine, Avinogis shouted: "Mr. Davers, we Laus is ready to implement a lifelong consul system like the alliance. Do you think it's OK?!"

The elders were a little surprised, and Davers looked calm and smiled: "Our covenant is very clear that the alliance will not interfere with the internal affairs of any alliance city-state. We only require the alliance to advance and retreat together in military terms, maintain diplomatic consistency, and strengthen economic exchanges..."

Avinogis was delighted and heard Davers say, "But--" and suddenly became nervous again.

"I have some small suggestions for Laus. I hope you can always ensure the stability of the city-state. Otherwise, when there will be riots and you cannot solve them, we will also send troops to help you restore order in Laus. Sending troops to fight is a hard task that costs both money and effort. Are you right?!" Davers said half-jokingly and half-seriously, and the elders agreed.

Avinogis immediately felt relieved. In fact, he didn't want to be a lifelong consul. The Lausians were not used to the Greek political system. He just wanted to be the big leader of the city of Laus. He just wanted to prevent the Dionys League from thinking that Laus was an indigenous town. He chose to become a lifelong consul because he felt that this position was very similar to the big leader. At this moment, he said happily: "I feel very honored to be an ally of the Dionys League! I promised Lord Davers and all the elders that I, Avinogis, will do my best to ensure the stability of Laus and always become the best ally of the Dionys League!"

"Okay!!!" everyone praised in unison.

"I want to dance a dance to the respected Lord Davers and all of you to express my sincerest gratitude!" Amid the cheers, Avinogis also became interested. He drank the wine in a gulp, strode to the center of the hall, and took advantage of the wine to enjoy the wine, began to shake his shoulders and circle, and sang loudly: "

High mountain peaks,

That was Asinu's residence,

We grazed cattle and sheep at the foot of the mountain.

A beautiful girl flashes in the forest,

The happy figure is like a jumping deer,

Attracting my gaze,

…”

Vesba and Bagule began to sing loudly. Although Davers and the other veterans couldn't understand what they were singing, they all played the beat and hummed gently...

Avinogis had endured humiliation for decades and was cautious and cautious. He was swept away by his heroic singing and strong dance, and only his heart was left with joy, and he could not express his comfort.

When he took his seat, the applause continued to last.

Scomblas stood up with a rosy face, burping, and said, "Uh... the guests from Laus performed a dance... Uh... our alliance should also respond. I sing a hymn Zeus for everyone...

"well!!……"

…………………………………………………………

A few days ago, Cincinnag was in ecstasy. He defeated Akbiru's son Lusau and occupied the city of Grummentum. With two big cities, he could become the new overlord of Lucania.

But a series of things that followed made him realize that it was not easy to replace Akpiru.

Because he was reluctant to allocate most of the assets of the captured Akbiru tribe to the tribes that betrayed Lusau, he was even reluctant to divide most of the land owned by the Akbiru tribe to the tribe of Grummentum. On the one hand, he was stingy in his personality, and on the other hand, the tribes in the city of Picoses who followed him also needed rewards. Of course, he could distinguish whoever was close to him.

His breach of contract naturally aroused the anger of the Grummentum tribe. They united to occupy the North City, refused Cincinnager's subordinates to enter the area they controlled without authorization, and threatened to drive Cincinnager out of Grummentum.

Cincinnag was furious. He had already believed that he was the master of Pikossis and Grummentum, so how could anyone allow anyone to damage his majesty? Under his command, the Pikossis warriors had fought several small battles with the Grummentum tribes in the city. At the same time, he used tricks again to try to dismantle these tribes that united against him by bribery, but failed because no leader of Grummentum was willing to believe his promise again.

Cincinnag was racking his brains to deal with the Grummentum tribe that betrayed him, and a worse news came: Niutum was taken away!

He immediately urgently asked the Lucanian herder who fled to Grummentum. When he heard their words saying "Seeing countless Greek soldiers entering the city of Niutum", Cincinnag was so scared that he could not come back for a long time. He could hardly believe this fact: Niutum was captured by the Greeks!

How is this possible?! Since the Lukari people headed south from the central Apennine Peninsula more than a hundred years ago, they have always occupied other tribes' land, and there has been no record of excessively large towns being captured by other tribes! With a sceptical attitude, Cincinnag sent spies to reconnaissance.

Although the north of Niutum City was very vigilant, the Lukari people were mainly grazing and hunting. The spies sneaked into the mountains within the control of Niutum City and obtained accurate information from the Niutum population who were grazing up the mountain: Niutum has been ruled by the Dionys City-Constitution Alliance, which was ruled by Davers, the Greek man who defeated the Lukani tribal coalition.

When Cincinnag heard these news, he felt like he was thundering and was overwhelmed by the horror. His first thought was: to escape back to Picosis immediately and get farther away from the Greek who defeated the powerful Akpiru!

Then, he wanted to reach a compromise with Grummentum's tribe and jointly deal with the possible attack of the Greeks. However, the weak Grumment tribes believed that this was a great opportunity to force Cincinnag to make concessions. They proposed conditions such as allowing the Picosesian forces to withdraw from Grummentum City.... This made Cincinnag unable to accept it at all.

Cincinnag, who had strong enemies outside and trouble inside, was unwilling to withdraw from the city of Grummentum, which he had worked countless efforts and sacrificed countless tribes to obtain. After several days of suffering, he finally decided: at the risk of losing Picossis City, he would draw more Picossis City warriors to Grummentum to meet him, work together to defeat these hostile tribes and fully grasp this central city of Lucania.

Just as he was about to get the messenger to rush to Picosis and hand over the order to Geninath, who guarded the city of Picosis, the guard came in and reported that a Lucanian, who claimed to be the messenger of Niutum, asked to see the great leader.

Cincinnager was shocked, he hesitated for a moment and decided to meet him.

When Hemon was taken into the chief of Grummentum's chief meeting hall, he kept looking around: two rows of fierce soldiers stood straight at the entrance of the hall, Cincinnag sat high above in front of the middle of the hall, and the leaders of the various tribes of Picoses were sitting on both sides under the three-story steps...

Hemon looked at the majestic hall, and there had been rumors that Akpiru wanted to be the king of the Lucanians. At least from this unique tribal chiefs' room, he might have really planned this, but it was a pity...

Hemon was thinking about Cincinnag saying above: "I didn't expect that the messenger of Niutum would be you! I heard that your city was occupied by the Greeks, but it's true?"

Before being annexed by Niutum, Hemon's tribe was also very influential in the "fertile soil between mountains", so his tribe leader was also well-known in the Lukari region. He saluted respectfully and said: "Dear Cincinnag, Niutum now belongs to the Dionysian City-Constitutional Union, and Laus also became an ally of the Dionysian Union under the leadership of Avinogis-"

"What?! Raus also surrendered to the Greeks?!!"

"I've long said that Greek bastards are unreliable!"

"What should we do now?! Without the restraint of Rauss, the Greeks can attack us with confidence!!"

...

Hemmon's words were like a thunder that made the seated leaders panic. Cincinnag originally liked this high seat, which could reflect the dignity of the great chief. At this moment, he only regretted that the seat was too conspicuous and that his fear could not be hidden. He held the armrest of the seat tightly and saw Hemmon standing there with a smile on his face. His look of watching the show turned his fear into anger: "Damn Niutumu people! You forgot the teachings of Asinu and surrendered to our enemies! You dare to appear here. Do you think my dagger is not sharp enough?!"

"You are wrong, the great leader. I did not surrender to the Greeks, but became a citizen of the Dionysian Union! Not only can I continue to sacrifice to Asinu, as long as I have enough silver coins, I can also build temples in Turii, Amendorara... and other territories of the Dionysian Union without interference. The sheep fighting competition continues to be held in Niutum every autumn, and the custom of Lukari's robbery of marriage has not changed... The Lukari in Niutum, like me, voluntarily become citizens of the Dionysian Union, but we are still Lukari, but we have more freedom, more land and cattle and sheep, but we only have to pay a small tax!" Hemon proudly proclaimed the benefits of becoming citizens of the Dionysian Union.

The leaders and warriors in the hall felt incredible: "Can the Greeks be so good to us Lukari?!"

"Davus, the consul of the Dioria League, who defeated Akpiru, once said, 'Dionia is not only a Greek alliance, but also a Lucanian alliance!' If you don't believe it, you can ask Vesba, the leader of the Melino tribe, and his son. They have become citizens of the Dioria League earlier, and now they have become veterans of the Dioria Senate! The Dioria League is still ready to continue-"
