Chapter 39 After the War
"Great leader, when Akpiru comes back, he will probably go crazy when he sees this scene!" Saru stood at the mountain pass, looking at the camp still burning, with indescribable pleasure in his heart.
"So what! Even Akpiru, who was crazy, can still command the army and break through the city of Vig!" Sedorum said worriedly, and he had complaints about Saru's unauthorized attack on Pikossis and forcing him to take action.
"Vigg City is not that easy to attack. As long as we build defenses on the mountain road and they attack upwards, it is hard to say whether they can walk to the city of Viigg City!" Saru also complained: "We shouldn't have succumbed to their threats and joined this damn alliance!"
"Saru, you're easy to say! The Rauss are very familiar with our terrain, and we have no support, one soldier dies less, and there is not enough food. We can't afford this battle!..." Sedorum told his helplessness.
"Big leader, don't worry! I think the Lucanian tribal coalition will not be back!" Saru comforted Sedorum with confidence: "Have you heard what the Akpiru guard who reported the news before? The Lucanians were ambushed and even wanted to come back to call reinforcements. It can be seen that the situation is very bad!"
"I hope this is the case." Sedorum sighed and said solemnly: "What we need to do most now is to return to Vig City immediately, recruit tribe members to strengthen their defense, and send people to Kosenza to ask for their help!"
"Ask Cosenza for help?!" Saru was very surprised.
"I have figured it out these days... If the Brutis still fight against each other as before, the Lucans and the Greeks will always oppress us!" Sedorum said in a deep voice.
"Yes, we should unite with Kosenza, just like the Lucanian tribe alliance." Saru was still young and his hatred for the other tribes of Bruti was not that deep.
Sedolum didn't say anything, thinking about something.
At this time, Saru said excitedly again: "Big leader, since we have become enemies with Lucania, should we take the opportunity to rob us when we pass by Laus?!"
"I think you are confused! If you don't cherish the lives of your tribe, are you worthy of being a leader? Is Avinogis from Laus easy to mess with? Can we not arouse their suspicion? It's a problem to pass through the lower reaches of the Lao River successfully. You are still thinking about robbing!..." Sedorum cursed, and finally made the excited young leader lower his head. As the team walked for a while, he couldn't help but say again: "I didn't expect that Turiyi, who suffered a great defeat, could ambush the Lucanian tribe coalition. Could it be that they received another reinforcement from Tarantum or Clotone?"
Sedorum did not speak, but looked back at the smoke-filled sky, and couldn't help but think excitedly: If the Lucanian coalition really suffered heavy losses from the Greek ambush, then the situation in this area would have changed drastically! How should the Vigs do it?...
……………………………
Cincinnag led his remaining tribe members to retreat eastward. He was so sad that he had only one thought in his heart: find Akpiru, lead a large army to slaughter the city of Vig, and avenge the dead tribes!
Halfway through, they met Akbiru's defeated soldiers.
Akpiru hoped to return to the camp quickly, bring reinforcements, and save the defeat. When he learned from Cincinnag that the Vigs rebelled, Picoses suffered heavy casualties, and the camp was even burned to ashes by fire. He was immediately furious and fainted on the spot.
Cincinnag learned that more than 9,000 soldiers were ambushed by the Greek army, and their lives and deaths are still unknown. He was stunned on the spot...
……………………………
The generals of the Turiyi City Hall were rewarded by sentries on the city wall in the morning: there were suspected large troops operating outside the city.
When the morning mist dissipates, the detective cavalry went out to investigate, and there will be rewards soon: there is nothing unusual around Tuliyi City, but the mercenary camp is almost empty.
The generals were shocked: Last night, Bulkos returned and said that the mercenaries were willing to stay. For this reason, Turiyi City was busy all night to prepare the materials they asked for for these greedy mercenaries. Unexpectedly, these untrustworthy mercenaries fled overnight?!
The generals scolded the mercenaries, and some even proposed: send warships to the sea to search for their traces and give them a painful blow to prompt their return.
At this time, the scout who was exploring the west came back.
"What?!! The mercenaries joined forces with Tarantum reinforcements to attack the Lucanian coalition?!!" Kunogorata couldn't believe his ears.
The generals in the city hall were all in an uproar.
Neonsis cursed: "Davs is a lunatic, trying to ruin Turi's hope!"
"Yes! After losing the protection of the mercenaries, the city of Turiyi will face the Lucanian attack alone. What should I do?!" Polyxis said worriedly.
Kunogorata said decisively: "Send Burques immediately and persuade the mercenaries to return at all costs! Turiyi does not allow them to do whatever they want!"
……………………………
However, Burkos returned in vain. Davers, who had always been kind to him, refused his request very strongly, and sent someone to drive Burkos away, who was still begging, and asked him to return to the city to wait for news of victory.
"I think Davers is very confident in defeating the Lucanians. Should we believe him?" Bulcos comforted the generals like this, but in fact he himself was very suspicious of this.
His words immediately attracted the generals' scolding.
Kunogorata criticized him for not knowing people.
Based on his friendship with friends, Polyxis did not directly talk about him, but complained that the mercenaries were unfamiliar wolves and were not trustworthy.
Neonsis angrily accused him of wasting money, food and supplies from the treasury, and found a group of mercenaries, but it did not work. He threatened to propose to trial him in the meeting.
...
Turiyi's generals spent the whole morning complaining, verbally and restless, but they did not have the courage to send the only two thousand citizens in Turiyi to assist in the war.
In the afternoon, the sentries on the walls of Turiyi heard the rumbling footsteps again, and the scouts sent out saw the mercenaries returning: although they looked broken and covered in blood, they were still supporting their injured comrades, but they were not as decadent as they were when they were defeated, but were full of energy and laughed loudly all the way. In the team, more than a dozen carts were loaded with armor and weapons, and many slaves were holding several sets of armor, carrying shields and guns and helmets, and they looked proud. At the back of the team, hundreds of naked men were escorted by the soldiers, staggering towards the mercenary camp. When they saw their long and messy hair, they knew they were not Greeks...
The detective cavalry was beating wildly inside, and they guessed a possibility! An almost impossible possibility!
At this moment, a mercenary cavalry rushed towards them, holding his hands high to show that he was not wearing any weapons, so as not to scare away the Tuli Yiren.
As expected, Turiyi's detective cavalry stood still and hired mercenaries to come to them, tied the reins of the horse, raised their heads, and said complacently: "Our leader Davers asked you to tell the generals of Turiyi that we hired mercenaries and Tarantum reinforcements to wipe out the main force of the Lucanian coalition forces at the big river beach, and they have been driven out of Turiyi's territory by us!"
"You...you really defeated the Lucanians?!!" the scout asked in disbelief, his voice trembling.
"Of course it's true. Do we need to lie?" The mercenary cavalry proudly pointed at the captives in the team and said, "Also, our leader asked me to remind you that the river beach is full of dead bodies. I hope you will deal with them quickly, otherwise it will be easy to cause plague!"
...
Before the scout arrived at the city, he waved his hands and shouted excitedly: "Victory! We are victorious!! The Lucans are annihilated!!!..."
...
In the city hall, the generals' physical strength was exhausted from a long period of uneasiness.
