As a warrior with the same reputation as Matonis, Martius is relatively quiet, without much ambition, and can be loyal to his duties, so Davos has always trusted him. Although the number of consul guards is full, they are also the guards in important places such as the Senate Chamber, Hades Temple, and Arena. The vacated places can be completely reserved by these leaders and tribes in the hall. Young people recommended by nobles to serve. In order to integrate the Bissinians into the Dionysian Alliance as soon as possible, these young elites of the Bissinians should be allowed to join the Dionysian Alliance’s political system, understand the Diorian system as soon as possible, learn The Dionysian culture, accustomed to the Dionysian life, was assimilated into the real Dionysians, as Basilipi said, and then returned to influence the people of Bisinia.

He needs to go back to discuss this matter with the Senate, but he can agree to join the escort team as a Bissinian volunteer. After Davos made up his mind, he immediately agreed.

Soon, a escort of more than 60 people was assembled in Bixinia City.

Davos appointed Rodom as captain of the escort, and announced that they would be in charge of keeping watch for him tonight.

As soon as the order came out, it was strongly opposed by Drakes, Capps and others.

But Davos insisted, and declared: "Now Bissinia is Dionia's Bisinia, and the Bisinian warriors are also Dionia's soldiers! How can a commander not trust his soldiers? of!"

In the end, Davos reached an agreement with Drakes and Kapus, and Martius led the escort team to guard the courtyard, and the Bisinian warriors guarded the courtyard.

After Rodom and the others got the news, they were greatly moved and vowed never to let Lord Davos, who trusted them, be a little frightened.

Originally, the restless Bissinian people were relieved because of Davos' move.

In addition to the senior generals of the legion, the ones who are most afraid of accidents are the leaders of Basilipi and tribal nobles. You must know that if Davos is in an accident, there will be 2,000 Dionian soldiers in the city and more than 10,000 soldiers outside the city. The anger will burn the city of Bixinia to ashes, so they have repeatedly warned the people who will be guarding tonight.

Passed the night peacefully.

The next day, Davos, who slept peacefully, and Kapus, Drax, the three chiefs of Bisinia, and the allied forces of Heraclea and Castron, who hadn't slept much all night The generals discussed the matter of marching into the Cosenza Plateau together.

… … … …

Cincinnagar waited for the reinforcements sent to quickly defeat the Elias before returning quickly. In fact, he didn't wait too long to see Geninat fleeing back with hundreds of remnants, covered in wounds.

"What did you say?! You were ambushed by the Dionysians?!" Cincinnager looked incredulous: "How can there be Dionysian troops outside Picocis?! The city of Lumentum has been under my surveillance, and they have not sent a single unit!"

Geninat shook his head and said feebly: "Elia... I'm afraid they came from Elia... I can see very clearly that although they are all wearing Greek armor, most of them are of stature and hair color. …even the roaring sounds were Lucanians…”

After Cincinnag's son's reminder, his thoughts suddenly opened: "You mean they are from Niutum... Why didn't our spies find it?!"

On the way back from the escape, Geninat had already thought about the matter clearly. He coughed and said anxiously: "They... ahem... They should have boarded the ship from Laos... Maybe they didn't go along the coast... Cough... And It's a circle outside... Our warships can't compete with the warships of Laos and Elia...so we can only cruise around the port...ahem...it's good not to be blocked...they have about three or four thousand Man... Father, what should we do now?!"

"Go back! We must go back to Picocis immediately!" Cincinnager had a bad premonition: "Can your body hold up?"

Genainette nodded: "… ah… what about those tribes?"

"Let them go with us, we need more warriors now. If any tribe refuses to go with us—" Cincinnag's face showed a gloomy look, and said coldly: "We will take what we had in Grumman Do Tum's business again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the spy hurried in: "Report to the chief, there is a Dionysian army north of us, about 4,000 people!"

"Report! The tribes in the south gathered about 5,000 soldiers to force our camp!"

"Report, big leader! Grummentum's army has left the city! It has been confirmed that the general they lead is Bagul!"

The bad news came one after another, causing Cincinnagar to break out in layers of cold sweat and drenched his entire body. When he heard the news, he was shocked: "You said Bagul was not injured?!"

"It seems so, Chief."

Cincinnagar was dumbfounded. After a long while, he murmured: "Conspiracy! This is a conspiracy that the Dionians have designed!"

He suddenly remembered something, and said eagerly: "Go and call the leaders of the Lude and Brena tribes, if they don't want to come, you have to force them to come!"

As soon as the guards went out, a leader of Picocis stumbled in: "The big leader is not good! Lude and Brina are leading the riot!"

"Pfft!" Cincinnager rushed to his heart, and a mouthful of blood was sprayed on the ground.

Dionia attacked Picocis' camp from the north, east, and south, but the camp was in chaos and could not organize an effective defense, so it was easily broken.

Gnainert was killed in battle, and Cincinnag took a minority and fled into the mountains to the west, and most of the rest surrendered.

"Commander of Hieronymus, what to do with so many prisoners?" Bagul asked his boss for instructions.

"According to the order of Lord Davos, they will all be demoted to city-state slaves and taken back to Turii as coolies to mine, build roads, and build temples..." Hieronymus said to himself, not paying attention to Pakistan at all. The look on Guler's face: "In addition, we will draw out another thousand Picocis prisoners and follow us to attack Picocis City, so as to force the tribes in the city to surrender.

Then he ordered: "Bagule, you continue to guard Grummentum City, and at the same time do not relax the monitoring of Potentia to the north. If there is an abnormal situation, immediately send a messenger to notify me."

"Yes."

"Agarcia, you go and urge the soldiers to speed up the progress of cleaning the battlefield, otherwise we will not be able to rest at night."

"Don't worry, Legion Commander. I'll keep my eyes open like a shepherd guarding the sheep. Whoever dares to be lazy, I'll spank him!" Agarcia laughed.

The 3rd Corps carefully carried out the lure plan proposed by Davos and they jointly perfected, and finally had a relatively perfect result. Hieronymus showed a rare relaxed smile after finishing the task.

"Big brother!" Asisters stopped Bagule, who was walking back with his head down: "Master Davos once said, 'Don't be too kind to the enemy who surrendered, because being too kind will make the enemy forget them. Mistakes made and mistakes made again, so sometimes we also have to hold the stick high and let the enemy fear and remember the lesson. 'The method that adults call 'bread and stick'... ”

Asisters looked at Bagule thoughtfully, and said with a serious expression: "Our bill to appease the northern tribes is good enough, not only granting land, but also selflessly granting some cattle and sheep... But when we When faced with danger, they did not stand with us to tide over the difficulties, but turned to the enemy, delusionally trying to destroy us and divide up more of our land! This time, the severe punishment for them will deter all the people on this land. The Lucania tribe, let them think carefully when making decisions about us, should they choose to accept the bread or the stick?!"

Bagul looked at the soldiers who were busy on the battlefield. They dismantled the enemy's camp, picked up materials on the ground, grabbed abandoned weapons, removed the armor from the corpses... and put them on the loaded carts. Then lift up the corpses of the enemy and throw them into the burning mounds of flaming corpses...

The mountain wind was blowing, and ashes were floating everywhere in the air.

Bagul sighed and said, "I hope that after this battle, the Lucania region can truly restore peace!"

Bagul spit out the depression in his heart, slapped Asisters on the shoulder, and said loudly: "Anyway, it's Cincinnag who finally solved our headache, let's celebrate! Tonight! , I'm visiting your house, I haven't tasted the lamb roasted by my sister for a long time, we won't go home if we don't get drunk!"

A month later, the Cincinnagar people who fled into the mountains were tired of avoiding the pursuit of Dionysian soldiers all day long, and at the same time had to endure the hard life in the mountains and the increasingly frenzied abuse and beatings of Cincinnagar, and finally couldn't help it. Killing Cincinnagar while he was asleep, going down the mountain and surrendering to Grummentum City, that's a story later.

… … … …

When Pianlon returned to Cosenza with his army, the rioting tribe had already fled.

In the following time, he led Petaru and Firotaru to be busy comforting the people in the city and meeting other tribal leaders in the city...

Just as he was busy with his work, a messenger from Knapetia arrived at Cosenza.

Pian Lun was shocked when he received Pangelu's request for help. He never imagined that the city of Knapetia, which was known as "easy to defend and difficult to attack", had only been defended for more than ten days, and it was almost unstoppable. Moreover, what shocked him even more were the two terrifying siege weapons that Dionia possessed in Pangaluru's letter.
