v5 Chapter 77： Meip's response

In the heart of Dai Omira, a little bit of uneasiness rose.

"I... I abstained..." Tudpres said reluctantly.

"What are you talking about!!" Dai Omelia stunned and knocked down the chair.

"I waive!" Tude Priest once again affirmed, as if the blue sky fell on the top of 攸Marcas, he only felt black.

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

In the end, Dafos became the general commander of the coalition, and he invited 攸Marcas to serve as an adjutant, which facilitated the coordination of the command and gave the Tarantum a step.

At the end of the meeting, Trephias followed Duffus, and the two went out of the room with a smile and walked away.

Tu Depres hesitantly walked behind and was caught up by Dai Omiras. He asked: "Tudorpolis, what do you mean?! Are you also preparing to betray our alliance?!"

Looking at the red face of Diomeras, the governor of Meta Pontum sighed and said: "In the north of Metapentum, there is a Lucca on the upper reaches of the Bradano River. The city of Gallasco, where the Leah tribes gathered. You know, we used to have conflicts with these Lukarias, but they are all minor problems. But in the past two years, the conflict has intensified. According to the news we got, The main reason is that the number of Lukariaans in Galaguso is increasing, and the barren mountainous areas there are unable to feed more people. It is said that some tribes have to migrate south to gain more land. If they really Going south, it will be a big problem for us Metata Puntum!"

"If the Lucanias dare to invade the land of Metapentum, Tarantum will definitely help you defeat these indigenous people!" Dai Omilla blurted out.

"In the current situation of Tarantum, have you prepared for a long-term battle with the Lucanias?" Tudpres asked.

Dai Omiras is dumb. Now, Tarantum has two major enemies, Mesapi and Puceti, who can't afford it anymore. Then they will provoke the Lukarias. Not to mention the Senate, any Tarantum citizen will consider it again and again.

“I heard that when Dionya hosted the celebration of the completion of the Hades Temple of Hades, the Lukarias of Galagoso also ran to Turui and expressed their will to peace.” Ogania occupies more than half of the Lucanian land and has become the most important force there. No Lukaria tribe can ignore it. I think if Dionia protests to Galagusso, The Lukanians of Lagoso should be careful to consider...the people of Metapentum want to avoid the war. Meta Pontum can’t help you defend the Mesapi, To face the invasion of the Lucanias." Tudpres euphemistically expressed the sacrifice that Meta Puntam had paid to Tarantum. Then, a little apologetic, said to Diomelas: "It’s just a general commander. Davers is a good war, and you Tarantum is in desperate need of a victory. Isn’t it right! Mehta Pontum Always the best ally of Tarantum!"

Tu Depres knew that he could not be as unscrupulous as Trifias did. After all, Heraclia was founded more than 30 years ago. The relationship with Tarantum is not so strong and complicated, and it is from Dio. The territory of Nia is so close. Mehta Pontum is different. With more than 200 years of friendship with Tarantum, most of the citizens of the two countries have close or distant relatives, which is not to be broken.

Looking at Tu Depres's departure, the resentment in the heart of Diomelas is still difficult to dissipate.

攸Marcas came up and comforted him: "Since Davers became the highest commander of the coalition, when he fought the Mesapi, he had to let his army go all out, or it would damage his reputation. This may seem like a good thing."

Dai Omiras snorted, but did not lose his temper again. He felt a bit guilty: he was able to become the consul because of the rapid rise of Dionia, stimulating the people of Tarantum, his radical claim Only will they get the approval of the people and pass it at the citizen assembly. The first large-scale attack in the history of Tarantum, which did not care about the lives of citizens, launched a large-scale attack on the Mesapi people, but did not expect that perhaps the strength of Tarantum frightened the neighbors, actually let the two The races that have been conflicting and never united have joined together, causing Tarantum to fall into the current predicament.

"The most important issue now is that we must hold a meeting of the Senate immediately! Tell the elders that Heraclia and Meta Pontum have changed their attitude towards Tarantum!" 攸Marcas looked serious.

In the heart of Dai Omiras, there was a shock, and then suddenly: in just a few months, Tarantum’s strong state status was facing a huge threat! How can it become such a situation? Is it true that the **** young man said that war is related to the rise and fall of the city-state? But why did Diaonia, which was founded less than two years ago, have not stopped the war, but it is getting stronger?

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

At the same time, in the big accounts of the Meppes military barracks outside Manduria, the governors of the Mesapi city-states and the Petchi king Tremani are negotiating the newly-acquired news.

"Are you sure that Tarantum has received more than 10,000 foreign soldiers' reinforcements?" Tremone asked with a dignified look.

"This news came from people who sneaked into the port of Tarantus. To this end, the Timorgos also sent a cavalry to explore the port near Tarantum, where a huge military camp was built. To be precise, it should be the reinforcements sent by Talanya, the ambassador of Tarantum," said Udyssey Archon Pahi Mulhouse.

"Diagna, that is a city-state alliance that was established in the west of the Gulf of Taranto. I heard that their governor is a young man and has never lost." Uzentum’s consul, Karminu Said. Ugentum is in the south of Tarantum, on the east coast of the Gulf of Taranto, so there is more to know about the west coast of Dionia than other Mesapi city states.

"I have never lost?! This Dionya's governor has participated in several battles?! The head of the military genius Achta of Tarantum, who was previously boasted by the Greeks, is still hanging on the door of Brindisi. "Tremeni said disdainfully, he looked at the leader of the Mesapi city state of Pasimarus, and said with caution: "But the tens of thousands of reinforcements who wear it." It was a big problem. We stormed Manduria for two days without any progress, but lost a lot of warriors. This **** city! You built it too hard that year! Now, Tarantum has reinforcements, It is bound to reinforce Manduria. Their strength will not be less than ours, and we will be very tired in the war. I suggest a temporary retreat. Anyway, the Greek Gentiles cannot wait in Tarantum for a long time, after they leave. It’s not too late to take Manduria again.”

"The king is right! Our soldiers are fighting continuously, the casualties are not small, the food is running out, and Manduria can not be attacked in a day or two. The enemy reinforcements are coming soon, if this is the case. Fighting against the enemy on the front, we don't dominate, and retreating is the best way.” The generals behind Tremeni expressed their support.

Mesapi’s consuls exchanged their eyes. Indeed, Manduria is not like Brindisi. It was originally established as a Mesapi to defend and attack the frontier base of Tarantum, so the city is small and the walls are tall and strong. But the Mesapi consuls believe that: Puccity does not want to fight again because they have enjoyed the sweetness of the covenant, that is, after reclaiming Brindisi, Mesapi and Puchetti co-manage the most on the toe of the Apennine peninsula. One of the important port cities, since then, the Pucciti people can also enjoy the benefits of sea trade, and if they are difficult to attack the city, they do not want to pay any more, they want to pay the bill!

Paxi Mulhouse did not accuse Tremani of wanting to destroy the covenant, but said quietly: "The king of the Pucciti, you should be able to see with your savvy, if we retreat at this time, then we The winning results will be lost again! The Tarantum will never stop the attack because of saving Manduria, Brindisi will be their next goal, Not many of Brindisi’s defenders, and the ruined walls can withstand the army of Tarantum? And once we retreat, it is impossible to convene such a huge coalition army in a short time! At that time, we can only watch our people in Brindisi being slaughtered by the Greeks or become their slaves!"

Tremeni stunned: Just now he was holding the psychology of not only taking advantage of the price, but he did not consider this point. More than 2,000 Puchettis have just moved to Brindisi!

When Paximerus saw that he did not speak, he continued: "In addition, we have made such great efforts and how many warriors have paid for it, and we have suffered from the hardships that Tarantum has never had before. According to the news Now, the young citizens of Tarantum are not war dead or disabled. Most of them can be young and old citizens. If the next battle, we can still hurt Tarantum, Tarantum will have I have been unable to withstand our attack for a long time. Although it will be very difficult for us to capture the city of Tarantum, the land outside the city, especially the land in the west, will be owned by us Mesapi and Puchetti!"

Tremeni was moved. He rubbed his hands together and thought for a while, then slowly said: "If we really want to continue, we can't have a positive battle with Tarantum's reinforcements. The Greek heavy infantry is like a stone. It’s too hard!”

"You are the commander of the battlefield, how to fight next, we listen to your opinion." Paxi Mulhouse lowered his stance and said humblely, which made Tremeni very satisfied.

His tone has also become gentle: "My advice is to lure the Tarantum..."
