Chapter 303 Probing the attack
Although Davos was in a good mood, he did not joke with this serious man. Instead, he said seriously: "Your third legion is stationed in the two towns of Neutum and Grumentum. It is the key to stabilizing Lucania." An important force in the region. Dionia is at war with the Brutians. Will Picosis and Potentia take the opportunity to provoke a war and recapture Grumentum? "

What Davos said caused Cesta and Hieronymus to think.

After a while, Sironymus said dejectedly: "My lord, do you mean to let the Third Legion stay in place to prevent the invasion of Picosis and Potentia?"

"It's not just defense." Davos smiled softly and said in a deep voice: "If they dare to tear up the peace agreement, then Dionia dares to conquer Picosis and Potenti while conquering Bruti. Ya!"

War on both sides? !Cesta and Hieronymus looked at each other. While marveling at the young consul's superhuman courage, they could not help but feel a little worried.

"Don't forget, Elia." Davos reminded.

"What role does Elia's strength play?" Sesta disagreed.

However, the battle-hardened Hieronymus suddenly thought of something in Davos's smile, and his spirits were lifted: "Sir, I will discuss with Butler how to seduce them."

"When I see Avinogis, I will also propose to him to use their port. I believe he will agree." Daves laughed.

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

"Lord Avinogis, I haven't seen you for two months, and you seem to have gained a lot of weight." Davos said half-jokingly to Archon Laos who came to greet him.

Avinogis smiled and patted his obviously protruding belly: "Who said Dionia is so awesome! With your fart protection, everything in Laos is developing well, and I don't need to worry about anything. The only thing that worries me is what new food your wife’s restaurant has made, and whether I can be the first to taste it!”

Looking at his trembling fat face, Davers couldn't help reminding: "I suggest that you don't eat too much in each meal, and try to lose weight as much as possible, which is good for your body."

Avinogis remembered something, slapped his head with his right hand, and said: "Oh, I almost forgot, sir, you are also a magical doctor! Since you said so, then I will try to control my weight gain."

"Thank you for your trust in me." Davos heard what he meant. He was trying to control his weight rather than lose it. Obviously he was not very concerned about his body.

I remember when I first met Avinogis, his strong body had now grown in size, but all the increase was fat.Looking at Arobmas next to him, he is even thinner than a year ago. I heard that Avinogis left most of the administrative affairs of the city-state to his younger brother.People, once they lose their sense of worry, lose their goals, and learn to covet pleasure, it is difficult to cheer up again... Davos sighed in his heart.

"Lord Davos, this...this second legion of Dionia seems...something is wrong!" Arobmas looked at the army marching past them with the flag held high, and said loudly in confusion.

"Brother, I heard that the Dionysian army has been replacing new weapons and equipment recently. Of course it is different from before!" Avinogis interrupted Arobmas, and at the same time ordered his brother: "With Bu Luti's war is about to begin, you immediately block the port and all passages outside the city, prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting!..."

Davos couldn't help but nod. After all, Avinogis is still the leader of the descendants of Sybaris who dared to unite with Dionia and overthrow the rule of the Lucanians when he saw the right opportunity. Although his body has changed significantly, But he was still clear-headed, with a very keen military sense and extremely quick political reactions. He completed all the deployments with almost no request from Davos.

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

The urgent bugle sounded, and the soldiers quickly retreated down the hillside.Stones and wood rolled down after them. When a soldier was unfortunately hit, nearby teammates rushed forward to help them, and screams could be heard from time to time...

Capps, who saw this scene at the foot of the mountain, had a gloomy look on his face and couldn't help but sigh: "This terrain is too unfavorable for us, and the legion's advantages cannot be used at all."

"The offensive these days has not been in vain. At least we have captured an enemy camp and pushed our offensive line here." Antonios comforted him.

"We didn't capture that, but the Brutians evacuated on their own initiative. We haven't even seen the enemy yet, but our brothers have already suffered more than 300 casualties!" Capps said heartbrokenly.

"They are mainly trauma and fractures. After treatment in the medical camp, most of them can return to normal. There are not many deaths. This is already very good. There are no undead people in a war, like when we were in Persia..." Antonios Continue to comfort him.

"But the brothers did not die while fighting the enemy. This way of death is too cruel! I heard from the guide that Weige City is still five or six miles away from here! Five or six miles! It has always been so difficult. Take the mountainous road! I'm afraid that by the time we reach Vege City, all of our people will be dead!" Amyntas shouted irritably: "When will the Second Army start taking action?! There has been no movement for so long! If I had known this was the case! , Capps, you should strongly demand that our First Corps carry out that mission!"

"Who said our First Legion is so famous? If we don't attack here, how can we make the Brutians believe that this is the focus of our attack? Only in this way can we attract the main force of the Brutians!" Alexis He said calmly and admiringly: "Only the commander dares to do this! Who would have thought that we risked the precious lives of citizens to attack Weig City just to mobilize the enemy!"

"Shh!" Capps made a gesture alertly, looked left and right, and whispered: "I hope the Second Army can successfully complete the mission and don't let our brothers die in vain!"

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

"Chief, the Greeks have retreated!"

Hearing the excited report from his subordinates, Saru was not only not happy, but a little disappointed: "The Dionians run as fast as rabbits. If they climb over the ridge, we will collect the stones stored on the mountain road together." If you push it down, they won’t be able to escape even if they want to, and more of them will die!”

"Don't worry, as long as they are still prepared to continue attacking Veg City, there will be more opportunities like this!" Sedorum stood up and praised: "We have resisted the enemy for three days! Dionia sent them The First Legion, known as the 'strongest army', came to attack, but not only did it not make any progress, it actually killed and injured many soldiers! Saru, you did a good job!"

"If this situation continues, we can completely prevent the Dionysians from reaching Vig City within a month!" Salu said with confidence: "Big Chief, I think we can handle these Greeks on our own. , let the Cosenza people go back and forget it. They occupy our houses, eat our food, and don’t have to participate in the battle. The soldiers are very angry!"

"The Cosenza people mainly eat the food they brought with them. We and the Cosenza people are united now, and there will be many opportunities to fight together in the future. You have to get used to it and persuade our fighters not to complain too much "Sedorum said to him patiently: "What's more, judging from the current situation, the Dionians have not tried their best. They should still be adapting to the terrain here. You must know that they have a The troops formed by the Kanians, as well as the troops of Laos, have not seen them yet, we cannot underestimate the enemy! Have you forgotten how the Lucanian Tribal Alliance attacked our city!"

"I haven't forgotten!" Saru clenched his fists.

"Yesterday, there was news from Kenapetia that the Greeks over there were trying to sneak attack from the trail. Fortunately, they were discovered in time and they were repelled. We should also be wary of the Lucanians coming around from the mountains, but they are It is because Cosenza's army is guarding the city that we can fight the enemy here with confidence and boldness." Sedorum continued to persuade.

Saru nodded silently.

"The later the Dionians arrive at Vege City, the faster their morale will decline, the greater their food consumption will be, and the greater our chance of defeating them! By then, the glory that belongs to the Bruti people will be Coming!..." It was originally intended to persuade and motivate Saru, but as he spoke, Sedorum himself couldn't help but get excited.

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

The setting sun has almost set behind the mountain, and the earth is gradually falling into darkness.

The grazing mountain people drove their cattle and sheep home early, and the children who ran wild in the mountains during the day were also called home by their parents, because at night, the mountains are dominated by wild beasts.

The wilderness outside the city of Bithynia is no longer inhabited, and the howling of wild wolves is occasionally heard. Only the Craty River roars for a whole day, and in the silent dusk, the sound of the waves becomes even louder. This has been the case for thousands of years. , the residents of Bixinia City have long been accustomed to it, and they feel that the louder the sound of the waves, the more it shows that the Craty River protects them, so everyone sleeps peacefully with the sound of the waves.

Little did they know that on the other side of the river, in the dense woods, thousands of Dionian soldiers were marching, and the sound of "wow, wah..." the river water covered up all the sounds they made.

There are steep cliffs on both sides of the upper reaches of the Craty River, but not all of them are like this. There is a river beach about ten meters long in front of the mountain col where the city of Bisinia is located. Bissinia people often come here to draw water and wash clothes.On the opposite bank of the river, more than 40 meters up, there is a gentle slope that leads down to the river. The rugged rocks on the riverside can accommodate ten people.
