"Sir, Crotone has many people, and we have few people. Will it be possible to attack rashly? Cornerus's worrying words were pushed back by Amintas: "You don't understand the war, so don't mix it up!"

Davers immediately scolded Amintas and asked him to apologize. Then he explained to Cornerus and other old citizens: "As the consul of Amendolar and as a leader of the battlefield for a long time, I will cherish the lives of Amendolar citizens very much. I am not sure and will not attack the powerful Crotone army randomly! The Crotones occupied Turie and obtained huge glory and abundant spoils. We Amendolar chose to give in. They must be very proud, and their general Melancius is an even more

Add the proud! These Crotone soldiers, full of spoils, probably thought about how to go home and get their belongings on their way back, and they had no desire to fight. They were probably exhausted when they arrived at the camp. The defense of the camp must be relaxed, and we gave them heavy blows when they were asleep, just like the last time they took Amendolar back!" Seeing Cornerus and the others pondered, Davers said again: "Of course, if our spies found that the defense of the Crotone people's camp was very tight, then the battle could only be cancelled."

Phelis emphasized: "The Consul's plan is indeed feasible!"

Antonios said: "We agree!"

At this time, Scomblas, Terry Toddmos, and Protsilous expressed their approval first, and the offensive plan was immediately approved.

"Now, go and call the citizens of four brigades to gather in the square immediately. The captains of each brigade must pay attention and tell the soldiers not to make noise, not to make noise, and to keep quiet! I don't want the spies in Crotone to discover our abnormality!" Davers calmly gave the order: "My offensive plan is..."

Phelisius and the veterans who served as military team officers all took the order and left.

Davers said earnestly to Cornerus: "Turi suffered such a disaster. As its alliance, we should help its people. I want to form a Turii Emergency Rescue Committee, which is in charge of your command, and provide Turii with many aspects of assistance in food, accommodation, treatment, etc...."

Cornerus hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The other old citizens who hated Turiyi remained silent, but Stromboli reminded: "If we take the food to help Turiyi, we may not have enough food."

"Don't worry!" Davers said confidently: "The Crotones robbed so much food, and when they defeated Melancius, they would have everything." He added in his heart: Of course, they will also get more important things!

"I hope the Crotones are as unaware as you said." Stromboli did not argue anymore, because he also had expectations in his heart.

Davers remembered that there was someone very familiar with Turiyi in the city-state and asked, "By the way, has Kunogorata's injury healed?"

"It should be much better. I saw him in the temple yesterday. Without slaves to support him, he walked down the mountain alone." Scomblas said.

"Let him be your assistant, he is familiar with the people and things of Turi," Davers said to Cornerus.

"But he was—" Cornerus hesitated a little.

"I think Turiyi gave birth to him and raised him. It was the place where he lived for decades since he was a child. Turiyi's harm to him should not be as good as his worries and longing for Turiyi, especially after the city of Turiyi was burned!" Davers said affirmatively. Although he had only contacted him a few times, in his impression that the old man (actually Kunogorata was only in his early fifties) had spent a lot of energy on Turiyi's stability and prosperity a few years ago, and even offended many people. He would not let Turiyi go easily.

Sure enough, when Kunogorata, who had heard Turiy had been burned before, was so sad that he almost fainted, received a notice from the Senate and rushed to Cornerus' house to discuss rescue matters with him.

……………………………………………………………………

At this moment, Davers summoned Lucania's leader Vesba and his son Bagule in his house.

"Tonight we are preparing to attack Crotone's army, and I hope you can participate. If you win, your five-year service period will be reduced by half." Davers said straight to the point without having to go around the circle.

"Attack the army of Crotone?! I heard that they had more than 10,000 people!" Although Vesba is now a slave, his eyes and ears are not blocked, and he hesitated.

"Let's participate!" Bagule said first.

"Son, you-" Weisba panicked when he heard this and was about to wink at him.

Bagule did not look at his father, but said loudly again with his head held high and his chest held high, "We Lucanians participated!" Vesba was only limited to the city because of his age and was not forced to participate in labor. Bagule participated in rugby games many times during this period, and learned about the special features of Amendolar, the civic unit. At the same time, he also learned about the magic of the young consul in front of him during private chats with the soldiers. He believed that since Amendolar dared to attack, he would definitely be confident of success, and this was a good opportunity for their tribe.

"Okay! Very good!!" Davers was not only happy for Bagule's agreement, but also excited that the "assimilation policy" would achieve results so quickly.

Davers stepped forward, patted Bagule on the shoulder, and said with a little excitement: "I believe that this will be an extremely correct decision for you and your tribe members!"

Bagule did not avoid it.

Weisba sighed lightly.

"What should I do next? Let your brother-in-law Asisters tell you that he will serve as your adjutant, and you are the captain of the Lucania team." Davers looked behind him, and Asisters smiled a little shyly.

…………………………………

At noon, Crotone's army abandoned thousands of Turiyi outside the ruined city of Turiyi, and retreated with a large amount of robbery, but did not burn the pontoon bridge.

The news came back to Amendorah, and Davers arrived at the temple of Zeus at the top of the mountain accompanied by the priests, offering a bull. In the chanting chant, he prayed to Zeus for this expedition, and the priests blessed him and performed divine divination.

Davers returned to the square and told all the citizens who were waiting: "Zeus's foreshadowing is a good omen! We will surely win!"

Because of the military order, the civilians without armor did not cheer loudly, but they all showed an excited and fanatical expression.

The entire city of Amendolar was in action.

When watching the people rushing the cattle and horses carrying food, carrying supplies, and fishing out of the city gate, Davers' mind inexplicably emerged from the history of his previous life, what Caesar said in front of the Rubicon River: "The dice is thrown!"

………………………………………

Regarding what happened that day, Ansitanos, who wrote "History of Great Greece" more than ten years later, gave a detailed description in the chapter "The Burning of Turiy":

That day, the sky was dark and the thick dark clouds were pressing very low. It seemed that the gods showed ominous signs at the beginning...

The soldiers of Crotone are not humans, they are robbers, and wild animals! They robbed all the edibles, and even the porridge in the bowl of children; they robbed all the valuable things, and even the dentures of the people's mouths. Any people who came forward to stop them were ruthlessly kicked down by them, and even lost their lives; they turned a blind eye to those who fell to their knees and begged hard. Every house was heard of the desperate wail of the people of Turiyi, and every street was

The blood and tears of the Turiyi people flowed. What sin did the Turiyi commit and even caused such a terrible demon! (It should be said that the position Ansitanos held in the book "History of the Great Greece" was basically neutral, but in this chapter he devoted strong feelings, so that later the Crotone protested, believing that Ansitanos seriously exaggerated the facts, which was not conducive to the unity of the country, and asked for deletion. Ansitanos refused, and the lawsuit was rife for a long time.)

Finally, the Crotone soldiers used shields to drive the Turiyi people out of the city, and then covered the branches and hay in every corner of the city with oil. The Turiyi city began to burn...

Turiyi watched their homes turn into ashes in the flames, and the temples they worshiped collapsed but were powerless. Could it be that the gods abandoned Turiyi and made Hevestos throw the fire of anger!

After the Crotone retreated, the Turiyi people ran into the city like crazy despite the thick smoke in Turiyi. The scorching temperature fumigated their flesh and blood, but they rushed into the ashes of Mars, looking for everything that worked...

Without living, without food, without clothing, without money, how can Tuliyi survive in this Rubari Plain, which has become a wilderness...

Just when they were desperate, the Amendoralans appeared.

Thousands of Amendoralas, carrying hundreds of carts (half of which were hidden weapons and equipment), began to rescue the Turii people, build tents, and excavate the camp... Kunogorata completely forgot what Turii did to him before, and heard that his previous beating had not healed, but he kept running in every corner to help all the Turii people in need; Cornerus, the chief executive of Amendoralas, arranged manpower, allocated supplies, and organized the rescue work in a very orderly manner...

Please allow me to mention Davers at the end. At that time, he was the consul of Amendorara and the hero who saved the city of Turiyi from the hands of the Lucanians. However, this was the first time the Turiyi people saw him, and they saw him in a difficult situation. In their eyes, this young man who looked like a newly grown man was as kind as his own child. He always had a gentle smile, listened to the painful confession of the people with great concentration, comforted the injured people with a gentle voice. He picked up the crying children, wiped away the tears and dust for them; helped the injured old man up and gave him soft bread...

Under the leadership of Davers, the Amendoralas were like relatives, and they tried their best to help the Turiyi people. Davers once again saved the Turiyi people, so that the Turiyi people who had lost their homes were not tortured by hunger and disease. They thanked the Amendoralas from the bottom of their hearts, and even more thanks to the hero Davers who saved the Turiyi twice!
