Chapter 940 Conquering Samnai

"Pentney not only surrendered to Dionia, but they dare not recognize the priesthood and choose the high priest by themselves. This is a blasphemy against the sacred tradition!" Rong Ni roared extremely angrily.

"I heard that it was the request of the Dionians, and they had to comply. Do you want to impose divine punishment on Badani?!" Kontruk sighed, and the ravine on his face became deeper and deeper, numb. Looking at the blazing flames in front of him: "Right now, whether it's Badani or I, I'm afraid the only thought is to try our best to help the tribe survive this difficult period..."

"Savoni will curse them!" Ronny said in a hateful voice, and slammed the wooden staff hard.

At this time, the guard came in and reported: "Big Chief, Chief Seramunch is back."

"Let him in quickly!" Kontruk said urgently.

A burly middle-aged man walked into the hall with heavy steps. Kontruk saw the expressionless expression on his face and felt uneasy in his heart: "Sela Monk, you are finally back! Badani agreed. ?!"

Seramunch glanced around the people in the hall, then shook his head and said in a low tone: "Badani said that the Pentney people almost ran out of food in the previous war, and now they all rely on Dioni There is no way that there will be any extra food to assist us with the assistance of the demi-humans..."

"Damn Badani!" Kontruk's expectation turned to disappointment, and a trace of anger arose in his heart: "His father committed suicide 10 years ago. Without the support of our Karacheni, how could he have secured Pentani's position? The position of the great leader! Now that he has betrayed the Samnite Alliance, forgotten our kindness to him, ignored the ancient tradition that the four major tribes should help each other, and refused to lend a helping hand, Savont will never let go of the punishment of this coward! "

High Priest Ronny glanced at him and said coldly: "Who was interceding for him just now?! I have long said that these traitors are not reliable!"

Kontruk snorted and did not respond.

"Big Chief, aren't there some Florentani people? We can borrow food from them!" suggested his confidant Varnni.

"Those are a group of cowards, don't have any expectations for them." Kontruk had no good impression of the eastern neighboring race that claimed to "have Samnite blood". He said disdainfully: "Because of Dionia before, People have put pressure on them, and they have already refused us entry into their territory, and now that they see us defeated and unable to hide, how can they help us!"

"If you don't want to give them, then go and rob them!" Varanni said viciously.

Hearing this, the high priest and property manager nearby did not show any abnormality, because the daily life of the Karacheni people was to make a living by herding and plundering.

But at this moment Kontruk frowned: "Do you think the tribes below didn't think of it? In the morning, I just received news that yesterday several tribal leaders from the east led hundreds of warriors to invade the territory of the Frentani people. , but the Frontani mobilized more people to fight back, repulsed them, and lost some people. Now the Frontani have stationed troops on the border, and are wary of us..."

"Even if the Forentani people are on guard again, how can they be the opponent of our brave tribal warriors? As long as we regroup the warriors of the entire tribe, we can completely defeat them, and then let them obediently deliver food. "Varnie said proudly.

"Waanni, you have a good idea, but ask the tribes in the city which tribe is still willing to fight!" Seramunk, the leader of another large tribe who had just been sitting by the fire pit, suddenly sneered, Said loudly: "The war with Dionia has killed and injured many soldiers in our tribe. Now each tribe is short of supplies and cannot afford to compensate the families of these people who died in the war. I am afraid it will be difficult for the people to respond to the call." . Besides, without the help of the Penteni and Kautini people, can we really defeat the Frentani people with the current strength of our Karacheni tribe?! Moreover, even if we can defeat them, it is useless. Forget that the Frentani are now attached to Dionia. They can ask Dionia for assistance at any time."

"It's not just a problem with the Frontani people. It is reported that the Masi people in the north have also made changes in the past few days. They seem to be preparing to avenge their previous defeat..." Even though Kontruk's whole body was very close to the fire pit, he seemed to Still feeling cold, he huddled up and kept rubbing his hands. His face was frowning and his eyes were a little dazed: "Although the Dionians have evacuated Pentney's territory, they are still entrenched in Benne. Ventum may march north again at any time...We are surrounded by enemies, but we still have to endure the torment of hunger..."

Next to them, the high priests Ronni and Varanni were also frowning and their eyes were confused.

Only Seramunch, who was standing opposite the fire pit, did not show any worry, but his expression was uncertain. He kept scanning the other people with his eyes, and finally couldn't help but said loudly: "There is only one way now. You can save us Karacheni—surrender to Dionia!”

These words were like thunder on the ground, which made the three of them feel like a huge earthquake. The high priest Rong Ni roared first: "Even if all of us Kalacheni people starve to death, we must not act like the sworn enemy who is trying to destroy our sacred tradition of Samonei!" Dionia surrenders!"

"No! You can't surrender to Dionia! I heard that they declared that they would severely punish the instigators of the war!" While expressing his objection, Warnni looked at his big leader Kontruk with worried eyes.

Ceramongk gritted his teeth, took a sharp breath, stood up straight, braved his courage, and looked directly at Kontruk: "In order to let the entire tribe survive, changing some traditions is nothing at all. What's more, if it weren't for the original Great leader, you have insisted over and over again, and many tribes will not agree to send warriors to invade the Dionysian territory that is not bordering us! We Samoni have an old saying, 'Who attracted the crow? Who is responsible for driving them away? 'Big leader, you should indeed take responsibility for the entire tribe that is facing destruction!"

"Celamonk, how could you talk to the big leader like this!" Varnney yelled in a panic.

Kontruk stared at Seramunch, stood up slowly, his rickety body suddenly became majestic, and pressed towards Seramunch menacingly: "You didn't go to Pentney to seek help at all. Help! Instead, we went to find the Dionians and prepare to surrender to them, right?!"

Now that the words had been spoken, Seramunch simply gave up. He stood there without flinching: "Of course I went to find Badani, but the Dionians also found me... What do you want? We know that our enemies are not only the Dionia, Frontany and Masi people, but also the Volsci in our northwest and the Pentenis who have cut off contact with us. The forces around us have already We have become an alliance of the Dionia people. As long as Dionia gives an order, they will attack us! ...

Big leader, when you persuade us to launch a war, you always say "for the good of Kalachini."Now, the Karacheni tribe is facing life and death. If you really care about the entire Kalacheni tribe, shouldn't you do something for us too! "

After hearing these words, Kontruk's intimidating aura instantly faded away, and a gloomy look climbed onto his old face. He shook his body and sat down slumped...

The hall suddenly fell into silence.

Suddenly, the guards broke in and shouted in panic: "Big Chief, there are many...many tribesmen coming outside, trying to force their way in, saying they want to propose to you!"

Varanni subconsciously looked at Seramak and asked, "Did you do it?!"

"You overestimate me." There was a hint of sadness in Seramunch's voice: "They just want to survive..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a deafening shout outside: "Seek peace from Dionia immediately!!!"

“We demand the re-election of the chief!!!”

……

Hearing this, the already old Conte Monk suddenly looked even older and paler. He stood up tremblingly, refused Varni's help, and staggered towards the courtyard door...

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

The Dionian army in Latium sailed to the south in batches, and the 3rd Fleet, ordered by Daves, returned to escort it.

During this period, Karacheni surrendered to Dionia. It is said that the former great leader Kontruk committed suicide at home, but only the current great leader was present when he committed suicide. Therefore, there are also rumors that he was killed by Serramonk. This caused quite a stir in Karacheni.

Max Brutus, a former Roman nobleman, is now a surrendered soldier in the first company of the second group of the Second Legion of Dionia. He has just been dispersed and has not had time to become familiar with this completely unfamiliar military environment. The troops Just start taking the boat south.

Young Max took a sea ship for the first time in his life. The ship was bumping in the waves without a moment's rest. He also vomited until he was in a daze, and he was tortured for a whole day.

On the second day, he was groggy and was woken up by his comrades next to him: "Brother, don't sleep, we should go ashore!"

Max couldn't understand what the Dionian soldier said, but he followed the direction of the soldier's fingers and understood what he meant, because the ship was sailing to a town on the coast.

Finally docked!Max breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first time he walked to the ocean. He had never been so eager for land. He took a deep breath of sea breeze to drive away the rotten smell in his mouth.

The soldiers around him were chatting and laughing excitedly, but he couldn't understand what they were saying at all. He didn't know what other Romans in the same environment as him thought.
