"What's going on?" Neonsis asked suspiciously.

With a loud "bang", the door was pushed open, and the guards rushed in with a look of ecstasy: "Report to the generals, the scouts are back, they said... They said... They said the mercenaries won! Lucania The coalition has been wiped out!!"

"Is this true?!" The generals almost couldn't believe their ears and asked in unison.

"The reconnaissance cavalry is just outside the door, and they also went to the place where the mercenaries fought against the Lucanians - Dahe Beach to check, and said it was full of Lucanian corpses!!"

"Unbelievable! It's unbelievable! They actually won!!" Neonsis murmured as if in a dream.

"How did they do it?!" Kunogolata went to the battlefield yesterday, and the ferocity of the Lucanian warriors still frightened him, not to mention that he knew the disparity in the strength of the two sides, so the news of the victory was a shock to him. Simply a miracle.

"What kind of person is Davos?" At this moment, Ancitanos was interested in getting to know this miraculous mercenary leader.

Polyxis immediately remembered the smiling young man he had seen on Burkes' ship. Unexpectedly, this young man who looked harmless to humans and animals actually wiped out Lucalia, whom Turii regarded as a beast of a flood. The coalition forces saved the city of Turii, which was in danger.

"He is a young man, but it is rumored among the mercenaries that he is Hades' favored one! Also known as a miracle worker! On his way back from Persia..." Bull, who had been in the city hall before being criticized by the generals Coase spoke loudly and proudly of the heroic deeds he had heard about Davos, and only one voice was stirring and boiling in his heart: he did it! He really did it! !

The generals did not laugh at these seemingly absurd rumors, nor did they face the extremely excited eyes of Burkes, and strode out of the hall one after another.

In the square of the city hall, countless women, children, and elderly people in black veils and mourning, with sad faces, cheered loudly for victory at the moment, and some even cried, but they were tears of joy. The haze shrouded in the hearts of the people of Turii has all dissipated at this moment.

The scouts also brought a message from Davos: I hope Turiyi will send someone to clean up the battlefield, bury the corpses, and prevent the plague from happening.

Out of prudence, the generals decided to send people to the battlefield to check first. This time, Neonsis personally led the team. When he arrived at the big river beach, the sight in front of him made him gasp: the big river beach area, including the hot spring swamp, became a red river of blood, and the bloody water was full of naked blood. The corpse (the mercenaries took away the armor and weapons of the deceased), is a complete hell on earth...

"This is a terrifying miracle!" Neonsis trembled throughout his body: "The terrifying God-Blessed One of Hades!..."

In order to thank Davos, Archita, as well as the leaders and generals of Drakes, Adrianx, and Cesta for their contributions to Turii, the generals and the council decided after deliberation: send Bulcos accompanied Ancitanos to the mercenary camp, invited them to the city of Turii to participate in the celebration of victory, and accepted the thanks of the people of Turii. At the same time, they also brought a hundred cans of wine and fifty cans of olive oil to reward the soldiers.

The group came to the camp excitedly, but was stopped by the guards, claiming that the leader and the soldiers were extremely tired after a day of fierce fighting, and now most of them have fallen asleep to recover their energy, so the guards were notified and not to let anyone go. Enter to prevent accidents.

Burkes persuaded again and again, the doorman always insisted. Burkes had been to the Davos camp a few times before, and he knew that the military regulations were very strict here. In addition, the camp was really quiet and unusual, so Turiyi and his party had to go away.

Next, they found Archita.

Archita happily received them, but when they explained their intentions, Archita showed embarrassment and said, "To tell you the truth, this victory is entirely due to the genius plan of Davos, Tarantum. The reinforcements are only assisting from the side, if Davos doesn't go, of course he can't go either, so as not to be ridiculed!"

Ancitanos had no choice but to decide to invite him again tomorrow.

… … … …

The soldiers of the mercenary army were indeed forced to rest, but the officers of the mercenary army, as well as Adrianx and Cesta were all concentrated in Davos' tent.

Rewarded by the guard, Davos smiled and said, "Turiyi used to watch out for us like a thief, but now he wants to please us, isn't it a bit late!"

"Yeah, I hate the faces of the Turii people. We annihilated the Lucanians not for them." Amyntas said contemptuously.

"It's a pity to miss the Turiyi celebration. Maybe there are many beautiful Turiyi girls waiting for the leader to go!" Olivers' words caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Davers looked at him funny: "How about I give you this opportunity?"

"I can't." Olivers shook his head vigorously: "Turiyi invited Davos from Megatron Lucania, not a little guy like me. I'd better continue to sleep in the camp!" Olivers pretended The funny appearance caused a burst of laughter from the crowd.

"Leader, we still have to have a good relationship with Turiyi, after all, it will become our neighbor in the future." Felixius reminded.

Davos nodded, his eyes fell on Adriankes and Sesta, and he asked with concern, "How is Drax's situation?"

"Under Helps' treatment, he is much better, and he told us to follow your command!" Sesta said gratefully, and Adriankes nodded.

Of course Davos heard that Sesta expressed his obedience to Davos through the mouth of Drakes, and he immediately said: "That's great, we don't want to lose a warrior like Drakes! If it weren't for him Stand at the forefront of the defense line, resist the enemy's attack, boost the morale of the soldiers, the northern line of defense is likely to be broken!" After praising Drakes, he looked around the crowd and said in a deep voice: "I will reiterate tonight's Battle plan!"

Everyone immediately stopped laughing and looked at Davos intently.

Davos picked up the wooden stick and pointed to the wooden table. On the wooden table, there was a city model made of clay: "Tonight at two o'clock in the evening, the whole army will leave the camp and go to Amendolara. After crossing the Cisino River, Hiros!"

"exist!"

"Don't let us build that stone wall in vain. I hope your training for more than ten days will be effective."

"Boss, don't worry!" Hiros said confidently: "The soldiers will use rope hooks to climb up the city wall and open the city gate in the shortest time possible!"

Davos nodded, and then said: "In case the enemy finds out and the sneak attack is blocked. Caps, Antonio, your two companies carry long ladders, and Alexis, your company carries crash woods at the fastest speed. Under the city, carry out a strong attack!"

"Yes!" The three answered simply.

"After the city gate is opened, Amintas, your company is the vanguard, breaking through the enemy's defense line at the fastest speed and entering the city!"

"Finally it's my turn!" Amintas grinned.

"After entering the city, all the troops followed my previous arrangement, led by the Amendolara guide, along these two mountain roads, and quickly attacked the top of the mountain." Davos used a wooden stick to point somewhere on the city model: "According to the people of Amendolara, in this mountain city, there are relatively large areas and not many flat places, only the Senate, the square, and the temple on the top of the mountain, so these three places are most likely Lucania. People detain the people of Amendolara and their own barracks. You must occupy these places as quickly as possible, all clear?!"

"Clear!!!" Everyone shouted in unison.

At this time, Alexis asked: "When can we light the torch?"

"Good question!" Only then did Davos realize that he had missed an important thing, and after a little thought, he said: "The city gate is opened, or the sneak attack fails, and it can be ignited when a strong attack is carried out! Everyone—" Davos added The tone said: "Tomorrow, Turiyi may ask us to help retake Amendolara, or the Lucanians will escape from Amendolara, so we only have this night! Only we can get from Lucani by ourselves. When the demi-humans take back Amendolara, he can become our trophy, and we can save a lot of trouble and truly become the master of Amendolara! So tonight, we can only succeed, not fail!!!”

"Hoo!!!"
