v3 Chapter 39： Burning city

"The Crotones have already bullied us. Why don't the soldiers give them a good look?!!" Stromboli, who had previously wanted to compromise with Crotone, was also angry at the moment.

"The soldiers have obeyed the orders of Master Davers, and they strictly guarded the city, but they all hated to eat the meat of the Crotones!" Amintas vented his grievances to Davers.

"The ruling adult, isn't we watching the Crotones on our land?!" Scamblas was not willing to swear.

"Of course not!" Daves replied loudly, his eyes sparkling with a strange light: "The fist is recovered for better fight. The army of Crotone is stronger than us. This is a fact. So we have to wait, Just like a boxing player, the player is always defensive, waiting for the opponent to show flaws, and then hitting a fatal!"

The people in the meeting heard a shock.

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

When Achta landed in Turui, Melanthus had returned to the city.

Achetta on behalf of Tarantum made a serious protest to him. Melanius said with disapproval: "Crotone is not malicious to Amendola, I just want to go out and this is said to be able to win less. The young governor asked for a good voice. He didn't expect him to be too timid. He didn't dare to come out and meet me!"

Achetta was relieved for a moment, and then he threw a swearing saying: "If Crotone is fighting against Amendola, Tarantum will unite Meta Pontum, Heraclia and Carlo. Tony is fighting!"

At the same time, he also advised Melanius: "Since Crotone has occupied Turui, scrubbed the shame and won a great glory. Then, it is time to return to Crotone and let the land be re-established. Restoring peace. I believe that Rocky will be as happy as Tarantum!"

The threat of Achesi's words, Melanius, of course, can be heard, he is sullen and has no response.

After completing his mission, Achta rushed to Amendola.

At the foot of the mountain, he saw the ruins of the warehouses and hotels that were burned to ashes and still smoked the smoke.

Into the city, the anger on the faces of the people came into his eyes. Therefore, when he saw Davis, he expressed his condolences and concerns to what Almendola had suffered, and then he said frankly: "Daves, Tarantum has no idea of ​​fighting with Crotone for the time being. I hope you can understand."

"Do not worry, we are angry with Crotone, but we can restrain." Daves said calmly: "A man is bitten by a dog, can you bite back again?!"

Acheta did not laugh, and the more calm Daves performed, the more he felt uneasy: after the annihilation of the Lukania coalition, the soldiers of Tarantum were celebrating the victory. Daves and his men went back to sleep, saying that they had to recover the excessive physical strength, and the next day told him, ‘Regained the Amendola! ’

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

When the messenger of Tarantum arrived in Crotone, the Council of the Crotone City Hall was engaged in a heated discussion on the occupation of “the follow-up of the city of Turui”.

Conservatives such as General Lucias suggested that after plundering the wealth of Turui, they would support a pro-Croto's government and then retreat to avoid dissatisfaction with the surrounding city-states.

Radical, such as the chief general Milong (the same name as the famous athlete Milon of Crotone, a hundred years ago, because this athlete is too legendary, is regarded as the hero of Crotone, so many Croton children later They are all named by the parents, and they think that: Turui and Crotone have already formed a deep hatred. It is difficult for the government to support the government, and it is too close to Tarantum. If you keep the garrison, it will not only Decentralizing Crotone's own strength, the longer it will cause more hatred of the local people and Tarantum, the best way is to burn the city!

"Crushing the city?!!" The other generals and lawmakers were shocked.

“Yes, burn the city!” Milon said with excitement: “Our ancestors defeated Webaris, destroying the city twice. The last time was to excavate the Krati River and destroy the city of Sobaris with great water. The prestige, shocked the great Greece, in exchange for the prosperity of Crotone and the hegemony of this region! However, since we were defeated by the coalition forces of Lockley and Lijim decades ago, some city-states no longer respect us. And secretly against us, we need to re-establish the majesty of Crotone! Now, a great opportunity is in front of us, this is a gift from the gods! If we miss it, we will be punished!

And after destroying Turui, the plains of Sobari became a land of nowhere for the time being. We can preempt the city-state immigrants who have been handed over from Greece or other places, and build new cities on the plains of Sobari. Send some citizens who have no land in our city to become new immigrants in the new city. I believe that the surrounding city-states can't pick out our faults, and our forces in Crotone have extended to the north and strengthened our power..."

Milon’s words are both inspiring and operative, and are endorsed by the majority of the council.

So, the messenger of Crotone quickly rushed to Turui, and Meranius, who was idle, got the order of Crotone's City Hall, and he was excited and said: "As the third ruin The general of the city-state on the plain of Sobari, I will definitely be able to name it!"

He acted quickly, first asking the free people who depended on him to immediately build a pontoon on the Krati River with the ship (the original pontoon had been burned by the Turifs).

Then there was the crime of arbitrage, claiming to punish the instigators behind the killing of the Crotone inside messengers. As a result, the rich merchants of Turui were arrested, tortured, imprisoned, and even executed, and the wealth of the family was fully confiscated.

Soon, the impatient Meranthus suspected that this method was too slow, and there was no patience. Simply ordered: Grab all the food and property in the city!

Suddenly, the whole city of Turui cried, and the people of Turai, who were lying on the ground and mourning, never imagined that, sooner, more terrible disasters would come to them...

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

The Amendola Lara, who was watching the tour outside the city of Turui, saw the Crotone soldiers escorting the mighty people out of the city.

After a while, smoke was everywhere in the city, and the fire quickly ignited...

The detective immediately returned to Ledes.

Leders was shocked after hearing it and quickly rode across the Saraceno River to confirm.

At this time, Turui has become a city of fire, and people outside the city are crying...

Soon, Daves received the news of the 100,000 hurry, and immediately stayed: Crotone is destroying the city! Are they going to retreat? !

Assisi was on the side of the cruelty of Crotone, and Davers sat down and rubbed his chin, thinking about the significance of this great event for Amendora.

Then, Assisi saw that Davers had stood up again and kept paced back and forth in the hall, and his expression was very strange.

When he saw some dazzling eyes, Davers suddenly trembled and asked: "If Crotone's army is starting now, where can they go at dusk?"

Assisi thought for a moment and said, "They should not go fast with so much weight, and it is estimated that they will reach Castron at dusk."

"Do Castron let the army go to the city?" Daves asked urgently.

"How is it possible! These guys just looted and burned the city of Turui!"

Daves nodded, and Asistus’s opinion was consistent with what he thought. He took a few steps back and forth and finally made up his mind. He said, “You will let Ledes pay close attention to the pontoon on the Krati River. Not burned! At the same time, Izam’s Mountain Reconnaissance Squad tracked the march of the Crotone Army. Where is the campsite? How to arrange it?... All the details, but to be hidden, don’t let the Crotones discover I want him to send someone to report to me at any time!"

"Yes!" Asistics's excitement answered with Davis for so long, he understood that Davers must be brewing a big action, young he could not help but excited Asked: "Adult, are you ready to attack this army of Crotone?!"

"The attack does not attack, it depends on the Crotones to give us a chance!" Daves sneered: "Crottone, this evil wolf owes a lot of blood, it is easy to go back, not so easy I believe that the impartial Hades will care for us! It is time for us to show our teeth!

Davers said that there was another reason, but there was another reason for him to make up his mind: Turai’s ruined city made him vaguely see a bigger chance than attacking Lucania, one that made Amendo Lala quickly A powerful opportunity! And this requires him to gamble again!

The Senate meeting was convened urgently. When Daves announced the news that "Turiyi was burned to the city", the veterans were not surprised. They had already digested this amazing loss before coming, but the old citizens were more complicated. They once hated Turai’s selfishness and caused Amendorara to be hit hard. But when the worse retribution came to Turui, they found that they didn’t feel refreshed, but pity overwhelmed them.

But then Devers said with indignation: "Crottone's crimes must be punished! As the alliance of Turui, we are obliged to avenge the Turifs! Of course, we need to tell gram Rotonet, the plains of Sobari are not the places they want to come and want to go! I declare that Amendora is going to mobilize the war and prepare to attack the army of Crotone!"

The voice just fell, and the meeting was awkward.

"Great! It’s time for the **** Crotons to swear!" Amintas shouted excitedly.
