Chapter 443
"Lord Hilos, don't worry, I will definitely make the people loyal to the alliance and satisfy you and the Senate!" The excited Vitotiru immediately expressed his stance to Hilos.

"Vito Tiru, ​​you traitor!" Kadurk's eyes widened in anger, wishing he could eat alive the old guy he had always trusted.

"You are the traitor, the traitor of our Dionia! The clansmen are happy to enjoy a stable life under the rule of the alliance, but you are going to push us to war!" Vitotilu pointed at him and reprimanded sharply.

"Stick his mouth!" At Hilos's reminder, the soldiers stuffed Kadurk's mouth with rags as he still wanted to shout, so that his anger and fear could only turn into that. "Woo" low hum...

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

Xiros returned to the city of Cosenzana and happened to see the cavalry coming from Thurii Starry Night. They did not catch up with Petalu and the others, but they brought the order of the Senate.Xiros has taken action, and the fate of the Senate is equivalent to confirmation of the fallback.

As Hilos approached the city hall, Adepigis came up to him and asked urgently: "Have you caught him?"

"Kadurk was caught." Hilos said gratefully: "Thanks to you for risking your life to report the news!"

You must know that traveling at night in the Bruti area is taboo, let alone riding horses at night. Wrestling is the second most terrifying thing, and the most terrifying thing is the wild beasts wandering in the wilderness.Adepigis was well aware of this situation. In order to prevent accidents, he borrowed a horse from Bisignia and galloped to Cosenza with one person and two horses. Sure enough, he got off the horse and sprained his front part halfway. hoof.He immediately changed the horse and drove the injured horse away from the road (unexpectedly, the injured horse later returned to the road and was eaten by wolves, which also made Petalu and others more vigilant), and finally brought the news to Hilos.

After hearing Hilos's praise, Adepigis showed no trace of pride. He was no longer the humble slave he was before.As the intelligence officer arranged by Davos in the Bruti region, the administrators of several Bruti towns have to rely on his intelligence to keep abreast of the trends of the regional tribes and take preemptive measures to ensure that there is no trouble in the area. , so he should not be underestimated, not to mention that there is Davos standing behind him.

"Is Hegesitus back?" Hieros asked.

"There is no news from him yet," Adepigis replied.

Hegecitus was once the leader of the survivors of the Siru tribe.After Dionia conquered Bruti, Davos settled the Siru tribe near the city of Cosenza and made Hegesitus the inspector (intermediate level) of Cosenza.In fact, because he knows the Bruti region extremely well, he is more like the assistant to the administrator of Cosenza. Many measures that are beneficial to the stability of the Bruti region came from his suggestions.When conflicts arise, he is the first to mediate, and he becomes the powerful arm of the Cosenza administrator.

"It seems that what Kadurk's men said may be true. Petalu did not come to Cosenza, but went directly to the south." Hilos strode into the city hall.

In the office room belonging to the administrator, Hieronymus was waiting anxiously.He only arrived in Cosenza this afternoon and had not yet started recruiting soldiers. As a result, he received a notice from Hilos in the evening: a rebellion might occur.

He was surprised and excited, feeling that he could finally be useful.

At this time, Hieros, who knew the character of Hieronymus, entered the room without politeness and said bluntly: "Katurk was caught. He admitted the fact of 'preparing for rebellion', but Bergam and Peta Lu didn't catch it!" Hilos said regretfully and went straight to his desk. There was a large map of the Bruti region hanging on the wall.

Hilos pointed to the lower left of the map and continued: "Bergam must have gone to the Ambaria region, where he has been the leader for more than 20 years and has a high prestige. Although after Bruti merged with our alliance, The city of Ambalia was demolished (Davos believed that the city of Ambaria was remote, the land was barren, and it could not accommodate too many people. Building a city would be a waste of administrative resources and would increase the risk of rebellion. Therefore, through the senators After discussions with the Council, they were demolished), and the tribes there were relocated several times. Now Ambaria still has a population of about... uh——"

"There are about 5000 people in the Ambaliya area. Even if they are all persuaded by Bergam, they can only gather more than 1000 fighters." Adepgis, who entered the room, immediately added.

After all, Hilos has only been in Bruti for a month and has only a preliminary understanding of the situation here. Of course, he is not familiar with Adpijis who has been rooted in Bruti for many years. He generously gave up his position and signaled to A Depigis will give a detailed introduction.

"If Petaru doesn't come to Cosenza, then he will definitely go here—" Adpiges didn't refuse, and went straight to the map, pointing to the left side of the map: "Here is a tribe under his jurisdiction, with a population of about There are 6000 people. If you are going to fight against rebellion, I suggest attacking here first. Although this tribe is farther away from Cosenza, it is still located in the Cosenza plateau, and there are other tribes living around it. The tribe will have a great impact. The key point is that it is still close to Clapetia, and it can escape from Bruti through the mountain trail at any time to join the Syracuse people, which will cause very bad results.

Most of the tribes in Ambalia surround Lake Chechita, and some tribes live in the mountains. It will take a lot of time for Bergam to gather them, and we only need to gather them in Ambalia. The road leading to the Cosenza Plateau was blocked, so Bogam had no choice but to brave the dangers of crossing the mountains and entering the Cosenza Plateau, or follow the rugged river valley eastward to the city of Asprostum. "Adepigis faced the two senators, but he expressed his opinion very confidently.

"That's very well said!" Hilos praised loudly: "I think we can proceed according to what Adepigis said."

Hieronymus nodded and then said: "How many people will you give me?"

He spoke briefly, but Hieros understood what he meant: after all, he was the administrator of Cosenza, and he wanted to take charge of this central city of Bruti, and the mission of crusade could only be carried out by Hieronymus.

"Tomorrow, I can recruit 2000 independent Bruti citizen soldiers from the city of Cosenza and 1000 people from the tribes outside the city. I will try to complete the assembly by noon. Other than that, I can't give you more. strength, because I still need some soldiers to garrison Cosenza to prevent other tribes from being affected by this and causing riots." Xilos said in a deep voice.

"3000 people are enough." Hieronymus replied simply, and then pointed to Adepigis: "I want you to come with me."

"I am very happy, Lord Hieronymus!" Adepigis replied happily.

"Tomorrow morning, I will send messengers to Knapetia and Vege City to inform the two adults, Asistes and Salu, so that they can be more vigilant and try their best to cooperate with you in the battle. In addition, I will also We need to send people back to Thurii and find the Senate to inform Lord Agarcia of Asprostum City to be wary of these traitors escaping from the river valley!" Finally, Hilos revealed his arrangement.

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

The next day, Hieronymus led the assembled 3000 reserve soldiers on a rapid march south...

Petalu acted quickly enough, and he persuaded more than half of the tribe to follow him and rebel from the Dionian Alliance.And he also sent people to the surrounding tribes to spread "The Syracuse army invaded the Dionian territory. The Dionian army was defeated and was about to perish!..." and other such rumors made people panic. .

Some tribal leaders even came to him uneasily to ask for advice.

He took the opportunity to talk about the many years of discrimination he still suffered in Thurii as the leader of the Bruti tribe and the senator, as well as the aggrievedness in his heart.She even had tears in her eyes when she talked about her sadness.

His words just hit the concerns of the leaders: Dionia's deliberate and continuous promulgation of bills is accelerating the disintegration of the tribe, even Petaru, who became the elder of the Senate, was forced to do so, let alone them.

So some leaders began to consider whether to follow Petalu to resist Dionia's rule.

Just when Petalu was delighted that his plan had succeeded, and was planning to establish an anti-Dionia Bruti tribe alliance and set off a wave of rebellion against Dionia throughout the Cosenza Plateau, Hieronymus' The army was approaching.

Petalu, who knew nothing about what happened to the Kadurk tribe last night, was shocked. Originally, they had imagined that the Senate would not be able to confirm their disappearance until at least today. People come to the tribe to look for them, and by then they will have already been prepared, and they can take advantage of the pressure of Syracuse's army and the emptiness of troops in Dionia, and deal with the Dionia in Bruti some.However, the Dionian army attacked so quickly, completely unexpected, and the worry last night really became a reality.

Petalu sent people out in a hurry, trying to argue with the generals of the unified army to buy time for himself.

Unexpectedly, Hieronymus ignored him and led his army directly into the tribal settlement to capture Petaru.

The panicked Petalu sent his tribesmen to stop him, but at the same time he quietly rode on horseback in an attempt to escape.

The hastily formed troops were defeated by Hieronymus at the first touch, and then they stared at Petalu and pursued them fiercely.

Eventually Petaru's mount was hit by an arrow, throwing him off his horse and being captured by Hieronymus.

Hieronymus tied him and the rebellious tribesmen, a total of nearly a thousand people, with ropes and strung them into several long rows. Driven by spears and spears, they walked between various tribal settlements. Everyone who saw this scene The tribal leaders were all nervous and their legs were trembling.
