Chapter 93 After the War
"Big Chief, when Akpiru comes back, he will probably go crazy when he sees this scene!" Salu stood at the mountain pass, looking at the still burning camp, feeling indescribable joy in his heart.

"So what! Even the crazy Akpiru can still command the army and defeat Vig City!" Sedorum said worriedly, complaining that Saru advocated attacking Picosis without authorization, forcing him to have no choice but to He complained about the way in which action was taken.

"Veg City is not that easy to attack. As long as we build defenses on the mountain road and they attack upward, it is hard to say whether they can reach the foot of Veg City!" Salu also complained: "We should not have given in easily in the first place. Join this damn alliance because of their threat!"

"Saru, it's easy for you to say that! The Laos people are very familiar with our terrain, and we have no backup. Every soldier dies, and there is not enough food. We can't afford this battle!..." Saido Lum expressed his helplessness.

"Big leader, don't worry! I don't think this Lucania tribal coalition will come back!" Saru confidently comforted Sedorum: "Didn't you also listen to Akpiru who reported the news before? What the guards said! The Lucanians were ambushed and even came back to call for reinforcements, which shows that the situation is very bad!"

"I hope so." Sedorum sighed and said solemnly: "The most important thing we need to do now is to return to Vege City immediately, recruit tribesmen to strengthen defense, and at the same time send people to Cosenza to ask for their help. !”

"Asking for help from Cosenza?!" Saru was very surprised.

"These days, I have figured it out... If the Brutians continue to fight with each other as before, the Lucanians and Greeks will always oppress us!" Sedorum said in a deep voice.

"Yes, we should unite with Cosenza, just like the Lucanian tribal alliance." Saru was still young, and he didn't have that deep hatred for the other tribes of Bruti.

Sedorum said nothing, thinking about something.

At this time, Saru said excitedly: "Big leader, since we have enmity with Lucania, when we pass by Laos, should we take the opportunity to rob it?!"

"I think you are out of your mind! If you don't cherish the lives of your people, are you still worthy of being a leader? Is Avinogis of Laos easy to mess with! Can we pass Laos smoothly without arousing their suspicion? There is a problem in the lower reaches of the Ao River, and you still want to rob!..." Sedorum scolded, and finally made the excited young leader lower his head.As the team walked for a while, he couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect that Thurii, who suffered a great defeat, could actually ambush the Lucanian tribal coalition. Could it be said that they got Tarantum or Croto? Reinforcements from within?"

Sedorum didn't answer, but looked back at the smoke-filled sky, and couldn't help but think excitedly: If the Lucanian coalition really suffered heavy losses in the Greek ambush, then the situation in this area would be Big changes!How should the Veg people do it? …

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

Xinsinag retreated eastward with the remaining tribesmen. In grief and anger, he had only one thought in his mind: to find Akpiru, lead an army to massacre Wege City, and avenge the dead tribesmen!
On the way, they met the defeated troops of Akpiru.

Akpiru hoped to return to the camp quickly, bring in reinforcements, and reverse the defeat.When he learned from Xinsinag: The Vig people rebelled, Picosis suffered heavy casualties, and the camp was burned to ashes by fire.He suddenly became so angry that he fainted on the spot.

And Xinsinag learned the bad news that more than 9000 soldiers had been ambushed by the Greek army, and their lives and deaths are still unknown.I was stunned on the spot...

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

The generals at Thurii City Hall received reports from the sentries on the city wall in the morning: there were suspected large forces in action outside the city.

When the morning fog dissipated, the scouts went out to investigate, and soon received a reward: there was nothing unusual around Turiyi City, but the mercenary camp was almost empty.

The generals were shocked: Last night, Burkos came back and said that the mercenaries were willing to stay. For this reason, Turiyi City was busy all night, preparing the supplies requested by these greedy mercenaries. Unexpectedly, these untrustworthy mercenaries actually Escaped overnight? !
The generals scolded the mercenaries, and some even proposed sending warships to the sea to search for their traces and give them a beating to encourage them to return.

At this time, the scouts who went west to explore came back.

"What?! The mercenaries joined forces with the Tarantum reinforcements to attack the Lucanian coalition?!!" Kunogorata couldn't believe his ears.

The generals at City Hall exploded.

Neansis cursed: "Davos is a madman, trying to ruin Thurii's hope!"

"Yes! After losing the protection of the mercenaries, the city of Turui will face the attack of the Lucanians alone. What should we do?!" Polyxis said worriedly.

Kunogolata said decisively: "Send Burks immediately and persuade the mercenaries to come back at all costs! Tuli will not allow them to act recklessly!"

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

However, Burkos returned in vain. Davos, who had always been kind to him, firmly rejected his request and sent people to drive away Burkos who was still pleading and asked him to return to the city to wait for news of victory.

"I think Davos is very confident in defeating the Lucanians. Should we believe him?" Burkos comforted the generals like this, but in fact he himself was very doubtful about it.

His words immediately drew scoldings from the generals.

Kunogolata criticized him for not knowing people well.

Polyxes did not speak directly to him out of friendship, but complained that the mercenaries were unfed wolves and did not keep their word.

Neansis angrily accused him of wasting money and supplies from the treasury, and hired a group of mercenaries, but they had no effect. He threatened to propose a trial to him at the council.

……

The generals of Turiyi spent the whole morning complaining, cursing and being uneasy, but they did not have the courage to send out the only two thousand citizen soldiers in Turiyi city to help in the battle.

In the afternoon, the sentries on the wall of Thurii once again heard the rumbling footsteps, and the scouts sent out saw the returning team of mercenaries: Although their armor looked broken and covered in blood, they were still supporting their injured comrades. , but instead of being as decadent as when defeated, he was in high spirits, laughing and joking loudly all the way.In the team, there were more than a dozen pack cars loaded with armor and weapons, and there were many slaves, each holding several sets of armor, carrying shields, guns and helmets. They also held their heads high and looked proud.At the rear of the team, there were hundreds of naked men, escorted by soldiers, obediently staggering towards the mercenary camp. One look at the long, messy hair, and you knew they were not Greeks...

The detective's heart beat wildly, they guessed a possibility!An almost impossible possibility!
At this moment, a mercenary cavalry galloped towards them. He raised his hands to show that he was unarmed, so as not to scare away the Turiyi people.

As expected, the Turiyi scouts stood still. The mercenary cavalry came to them, reined in their horses, raised their heads, and said proudly: "Our leader Davos asked you to tell the generals of Turiyi that we mercenaries Together with the Tarantum reinforcements, we completely annihilated the main force of the Lucanian coalition forces on the Great River Beach, and they have been driven out of Thurii’s territory by us!”

"You...you really defeated the Lucanians?!" the detective asked in disbelief, his voice trembling.

"Of course it's true. Do we need to lie?" The mercenary cavalry proudly pointed at the prisoners in the team and said: "Also, our leader asked me to remind you Turiyi people that the big river beach is now full of dead bodies. I hope you will deal with them quickly, otherwise, over time, it will easily lead to a plague!"

……

Before reaching the city, the scouts waved their hands and shouted excitedly: "Victory! We are victorious!! The Lucanians have been wiped out!!!..."

……

At the town hall, the generals' physical strength was exhausted by long periods of restless suffering.

At this time, bursts of cheers came from outside the house, and the sound became louder and louder, waking up the drowsy generals.
