Chapter 328 Sedorum
After Davos calmed down, he asked again: "Caps, is it the First Legion that is responsible for guarding the Bruti prisoners at night?"

"Yes."

"Try to make them as comfortable as possible without letting them escape."

Capps hesitated, then said, "I'll try my best."

"You have to know that although they were enemies before, after this battle...well...it is certain that the Bruti people will become our own people soon. In order to make this transformation process smoother and no longer increase hatred, we Efforts must be made." Davos patiently explained to Capps and the others that war has always been a continuation of politics, and Davos's position determines that he must look further and consider more comprehensively.

Triphias and Gorkys on the side looked at each other. The continued growth of the Dionia Alliance should be a good thing for Heraclea and Castron.

"After a while, I might send someone to help you comfort these Bruti prisoners. However, I'm not sure yet if he is willing to help?" Davos rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully.

Capps was curious about who Davos was talking about, but he was steady and didn't ask.

"How is the situation at the medical camp?" Davos thought of another question.

"There are too many wounded! Stacey Kordas and the others are so busy that they have no time to rest. Now Epithenes and the others are sending light infantry and free people to help the medical battalion carry the wounded..." Antonios said worriedly.

"That means that no one cares about those injured Bruti soldiers?!" Davos's eyes widened, and he immediately thought of the seriousness of the problem: "Well... Antonios, you go find Stacey Korda immediately. Si, just say it is my order, he must send out one or two doctors no matter what... At the same time, let the First Army send out a thousand infantrymen as auxiliary, and first carry out simple debridement, bandaging and other external injuries on Bruti's wounded soldiers. deal with."

"Okay." Antonios quickly turned and left.

"And... Thormid, I will write two letters right away. You have the messengers take the letters and return to Thurii quickly and give them to Helps and Melses. I want them to send as many more letters as possible. More doctors and nurses, more medicines, medical supplies and food delivered..."

After the generals completed their assigned tasks, Davos had time to face Triphias and Gorkis alone: ​​"Two adults, I'm so sorry! I didn't expect that after winning this battle, There will be so many things that have kept you waiting for a long time.”

"It's nothing." Triphias praised seriously: "It gave me a chance to see the extraordinary management ability of the Dionia Archon! And I really didn't expect that after a battle, there would be There are so many things to deal with, including the medical treatment of the wounded, the treatment of prisoners, the construction of camps, the arrangement of sentries... I really learned a lot of military knowledge."

Triphias said these words from the heart, and Gorchis next to him also felt the same.Indeed, most of the battles in the Greek city-states of this era took place near alliance territories. The requirements for logistics were not high, so they did not pay much attention to them. Only powerful states such as Athens, Sparta, and Syracuse needed long-term operations. When fighting foreign countries, the logistics requirements for the army will be higher, but even so, soldiers may be short of pay and food from time to time.Davos felt that the logistics of the Dionysian army was still rough and not perfect enough, but in the eyes of Triphias and the others, it was already a very complicated arrangement.

Therefore, Davos just smiled and said: "Thanks to the full support of Heraclea and Castellon for this battle! With this victory, I believe that the war with Bruti will end soon. At that time, the secretary of our baggage camp will carefully count the spoils obtained and distribute them to you in proportion."

Duke Castellon has cooperated with Dionia two or three times, and Gorkis is very confident about Dionia's credit.

Heraclea was relatively wealthy, and Triphias was not very interested in the spoils. Of course, if he could obtain them, it would not be a waste of time for the citizens to come back and complain.He was more concerned about another thing: "Lord Davos, I also have a request."

"Please speak."

"Can you let the officers of Dionia use your fighting methods to help train the citizens of Heraclea?" Triphias was a little embarrassed, and explained: "Because during the battle, I found that Dionia Olya's fighting style is very different from our Heraclea and Castron. This difference in fighting greatly affects the cooperation between the various units, so..." In fact, at the beginning of this battle, , it was the 3000 Dionysian reserves who withstood the charge of the Brutians, and played the role of the mainstay of the right wing in the subsequent battle.The reserve team is still like this, and the strength of the Dionia Army can be imagined. This is the reason why Triphias made up his mind and made the request.

Davos was surprised on the surface, but overjoyed in his heart: Finally, an allied city-state made such a request!

He pretended to be hesitant and asked: "Does the Herculean Senate agree with this approach?"

"I will make them agree!" Triphias said firmly.

"In this case, when the war with Bruti is over, I will ask military officer Felicius to discuss training matters with you." Davos said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Lord Triphias, but Dai Onia's military training is very strict, so you must prepare the citizens of Heraclea in advance."

With Heraclia as an example, Gorkys made the same request to Daves not to be outdone.

After seeing off Triphias and Gorchis, although Davos felt very tired, he couldn't rest because there was one person he had to meet: "Go and get the Bruiser who Ledes captured." Bring the big shot here."

..............................

Sedorum regretted that he had not prayed seriously to the goddess Amara before setting out for the battle, so that he accidentally tripped and fell from his horse while escaping. Then his personal guards were scattered by the swarming troops. He finally It was easy to struggle up from the injured horse, but he fell behind because he was different from ordinary Bruti warriors in clothing, and became the target of the Dionian cavalry in pursuit.

After becoming a prisoner, he did not hide anything and directly said his name.

Now, with his hands tied behind his back, he was escorted forward by Dionian soldiers. From a distance, he saw a shining golden military flag erected on the grassy slope. Hundreds of soldiers stood neatly in two rows, with military flags sitting on them. One person, that should be Davos, the governor of Dionia.

Sedorum thought to himself, and his pace speeded up unconsciously.

Walking closer, the two looked at each other face to face. Sedorum was amazed at the youth of Daves, while Davos was amazed at the age of Sedorum. As far as he knew, the chief of Vig City was not yet full. 50 years old.

Davers spoke first, "Untie him."

Sedorum rubbed his wrists that were red from the rope and took another step forward.

Davos sat motionless.

Sedorum raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid that I will attack you?"

Davos smiled slightly: "You can speak Greek, which saves me the trouble of finding a translator. I don't want to look up to others, so you can sit down."

His voice is not loud, but it has irresistible power.

Sedorum hesitated and sat down reluctantly.

Martius, who was behind Davos, relaxed slightly.

"To answer your question just now." Davos said unhurriedly: "First, I have brave guards, it will be difficult for you to succeed; second, even if you succeed, the Brutian people's plight is not only insurmountable, but also difficult for you to succeed." Solve it, and the angry Dionian soldiers will bring unimaginable punishment to the people on this land!"

Sedorum snorted: "Aren't the Dionians now occupying our land, massacring our people, and robbing our property! If I can beat up the leader who started the war, at least I can Let the Brutians be happy for a while!"

"Are the Brutes victims?" Davos said sternly: "No! For decades, the Brutes have never stopped attacking and plundering the Greek city-states. There are countless Greek families who have been ruined by you. ! Now, we Greeks have finally come to take revenge, but you feel aggrieved. This is really a joke!"

"You Greeks are outsiders who have invaded our land. We... of course we have to take it back!" Sedorum retorted not to be outdone.

"As far as I know, you Brutians originally lived in central Italy. You moved here more than 200 years ago, drove away the original residents of this land, settled down, and now you actually claim to be the owners of the land in southern Italy. Is this ignorance? Or arrogance?" Davos sneered.

"You're talking nonsense!" Sedorum shouted angrily.

"It seems that you really don't know. Fortunately, the Greeks have writing and records. Scholars in Thurii have collected records of other city-states about the major events that have happened here for hundreds of years. If one day you go to the city of Thurii , you can see detailed historical records about the Bruti people.”

Regarding the Brutian people, Davos actually asked Ansitanos for detailed advice, so Sedorum seemed a little discouraged when he saw Davos's serious face, and simply said: "What are you going to do with us?" ?”

"Are you referring to the captured Brutians, or your so-called Brutian Alliance?"

"Of course we were the ones who were unfortunately captured." Sedorum said not to be outdone: "Although we have lost the battle, as long as Pi Anlun and the others defend the city with all their strength, no matter how many soldiers you have, it will be difficult to break through the strong Kesen. If we attack a large city, we will eventually have to retreat when we run out of food."

"Don't worry, we will easily break through the city of Cosenza!" Davos said confidently.
