Chapter 32 Dark Tide

Both Cincinnag and Sedorum turned Hoy's eyes to Akpiru.

Akpiru watched all this, and he knew very well that there was a certain situation in his heart that the Vigs did not fight with all their might. After all, they were Brutes, not Lukari. Of course, what Sedorum said might be the fact that they saved the right wing and contributed to the victory of the battle! He knew Cincinnag very well. He was greedy for cheapness and bullying the weak and fearing the strong. It was not surprising that he could perform like this. Rewarding merits and punishments is the responsibility of his leader, but he could not really do it according to the covenant. Picosis is Grumentium's most important ally. It is precisely through its support that Grumentium has become strong today. What's more, Picosis is also a powerful tribal unit in the Lucania region. Criticizing and even punishing Picosis's great leader in front of the Brutes will inevitably lead to Picosis's dissatisfaction, thus making the Lucanian tribal alliance centrifugal.

The area where the Brutites live borders the southern part of Lucania, and their tribes are independent and not unified, so they are weak. They are the next target for Grummentum to conquer after defeating Turiy and occupying the Sobari Plain. Vig is the city of Brutite, which is the most adjacent to the Lukalia territory. Its active surrender (under the threat of the Lukani tribal alliance) gave Grummentum a springboard to enter the Brutite region, so we cannot treat it too harshly, but we cannot make it unclear its position, because the Lucanians are the masters, and the Brutites are destined to be enslaved!…

After making up his mind, he slowly said: "Being able to win this battle is the result of everyone's joint efforts! After occupying this place, I will give you each of them rich spoils based on your contributions! But--" His sharp eyes made Sedorum's heart tremble: "As an ally, killing comrades who fight side by side with him is an ugly act that goes against his promise, and the gods will punish them! Therefore, Vig City must pay enough fines to satisfy Pikosis to compensate for their losses! At the same time, it must also offer the lives of the same number of Vig soldiers as a burial for their lives!"

"What!!!" The Wigg warriors present were furious when they heard this and shouted angrily.

Grummenthum and Picoses immediately surrounded them.

"Sedorum, my decision should you agree or object?!" Akpiru looked at the big leader of Vig City coldly.

Sedolum lowered his head, clenched his fists, his face pale, his forehead covered with sweat, and he remained silent.

"Big leader, you can't agree! The Lucans bully us so much, we won't do it! Let's go back!!" Saru shouted angrily.

"Yes! Let's go back! Big leader, let's go back!!" The Wigg soldiers were in anger.

"Go back?!" Cincinnag sneered and said to Akpiru: "Look, the Brutis are indeed unreliable. They want to withdraw from the alliance they swore to join in the face of the gods! Since that's the case, it's better..."

Hearing this, Sedorum was startled. He raised his head suddenly and saw a hideous sneer on Cincinnag's face and Akpiru's cold and hard expression.

He looked around, and the Lucanians raised their shields and held their spears, besieging his tribesmen. Although the soldiers of Vig City struggled desperately, they were too small, wearing only leather armor, no copper shield, only one spear, and their equipment was too simple... Sedolum's nails were deeply pierced into his palms... He squeezed out a sentence with difficulty: "I...I agree..."

"Big leader!!" The wretched voices of the Wigg soldiers were like a big hammer, and the sounds forged Sedorum's extremely fragile heart. He staggered a few steps and sat down to the ground.

"The execution of the punishment will be supervised by Udler." Akbiru said, worried that Cincinnag would stimulate these Brutis again and cause riots, so he chose a neutral.

"Okay." replied Udre, the great leader of Niutum.

"When I occupy this place, I will allocate a piece of land from the Sobari Plain to Sedorum and your tribesmen to grazing cattle and sheep, which is much fertile than the land of Bruti!" After Akpiru made the punishment, he gave Vigo a sweet spot.

"Thank you...the leader..." Sedorum endured his grief and thanked him.

Akpiru asked kindly without waiting for Cincinnager to speak, "Geninath, my dear child, how are your injuries?"

Geninath endured the pain and straightened his chest: "Big leader, I'm fine, I'm all flesh and blood wounds."

"That's good. You have to protect yourself. I don't want my dear daughter to become a widow at a young age. I'm still waiting to hug my grandson!" Akpiru laughed loudly, and the soldiers around him laughed together, which made Geninath feel a little embarrassed and shy.

Cincinnag breathed a sigh of relief. Since Akpiru still attached importance to Geninath, he promised Picossis that he would not change because of this setback.

"What is the number one warrior in Lucania? He was so embarrassed by the much smaller Greeks. It was simply a shame to the face of the Lucanians!" The warrior's laughter came.

Geninath looked in the voice and found that it was Severa, the leader of a tribe in Grummentum. He once proposed to Akpiru's daughter, but the great leader married his daughter to Geninath based on tribal interests. From then on, Severa had no good face when she saw him.

Geninath said unwillingly: "If you have the ability to attack, I don't believe you can take this camp!"

"Okay, I'll show you the power of our Grummentum warriors!" Sevilla was excited, and did not refuse, turned around and shouted, "Brothers--"

"Enough, Sevilla!" Akpiru's low and majestic voice immediately stopped the impulse of his young leader: "Let's go back to the camp!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cincinnag shouted: "Go back now?! Don't we continue to attack this camp?!"

Akpiru looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost dusk, and the soldiers are very tired. We have killed the last ranks of Turiyi's civilians. They are powerless to stop us Lucanians from taking root in this land. When we go back, we will place the wounded, recover our physical strength, and prepare the tools. Tomorrow we will build a city here, a city of Lucania!" Akpiru's voice became a little excited: "These mercenaries are not worth our concern at all. As for the ones who dare to come out, we will defeat them; if they don't come out, we can block them and let them not get the support of Turiyi, they will naturally be ruined; as for those reinforcements from Tarantum, I heard that Tarantum City is now tense with the Mesapi people, and they will stay here for a short time!"

People around them were thinking.

Udler asked, "Akbiru, let's not go to Amendora?"

"Go tomorrow." Akpiru glanced at Cincinnag. Although he did not take the mercenaries seriously on the surface, in fact, the combat effectiveness of this team still surprised him: the tribe that captured Amendorala did not join the Lucanian tribe coalition according to his orders. If he led the army at this moment, Amendorala would probably refuse to open the city gate. Although his troops were more than ten times that of the other party, the siege was not good at the Lucanians, let alone a mountain city. Once it could not be captured quickly, at night, the soldiers were extremely tired and did not eat. There were threats from mercenaries and Tarantum reinforcements behind him. There was another group of unstable Vigs in the team, for fear that something unexpected would happen. Why should the Lucanian tribe coalition take this risk when it was safe to win the sect.

"If the leader of the small tribe in the city of Amendorara is smart, they should have fled back to the mountains tonight as they did last time, otherwise tomorrow I will let them understand who is the final decision of the Lucania region now!" Akpiru showed a bloodthirsty sneer on his face.
