"Of course, otherwise we wouldn't have found him so easily." Antrapolis answered first.

Alistilas was thinking about the purpose of Davers's words.

Davers glanced at him and said seriously: "This Crotonen just didn't do well enough. A good spy can not only accurately and promptly collect intelligence and distinguish the authenticity of intelligence. It can also create chaos within the enemy, disagree with the enemy, destroy unity, destroy valuable facilities such as the walls, shipyards, and arsenals of the enemy state, and provide the greatest help for the victory of the frontal battle of the city-state. They will be the secret soldiers of our Tua Alliance!"

Seeing them falling into deep thought, Davers said in a deep voice: "Alistilas, are you willing to take charge of such an organization for me, collect intelligence, and develop such an always outstanding secret team to help the league?"

The sudden invitation surprised the two of them.

Antrapolis touched his brother with his elbow excitedly, and Alistilas was also a little excited, but he could still remain calm. He said hesitantly: "But Ascesters..."

Davers nodded secretly: "Asisters has another important task to complete and will no longer serve as the head of this organization."

"I'm willing to work for you, sir!" Aristillas replied simply.

…………………………………………………………

Half a day later, Crotone's chief general Miron received information from the spies: In the early morning, an army of about 4,000 troops from the Tua Alliance went out of Tuliyi City and marched westward."

Miron fell into deep thought: In terms of Turiyi's position, there is only one force to the west - the Lucanians. Is Turiyi going to war with the Lucanians again? Is it Laus or Niutum?

Miron suddenly became excited: Although the Lucania area is far away from Crotone and there are several forces in the middle, it doesn't know much and has few contacts. But you should know that the Lucanians are powerful indigenous forces that the rich and powerful Greek city-state alliance in the north, the Campania Alliance, dare not provoke! However, the Tua Alliance defeated the Lucanian coalition once before. Did they want to use 4,000 people to create a miracle of defeating the more with less? Even if it succeeds, are they not afraid of triggering a war with the entire Lucanian? Can the Tua Alliance, which is still under reconstruction, support such continuous consumption? Perhaps the young consul was stunned by the previous victory?!...

Several thoughts flashed through Miron's mind, which made him suddenly have a good mentality: maybe without waiting for the peace treaty to expire and Crotone declares war again, the Lucarians will set foot on Turi's land again, and Crotone should make plans in this regard...

………………………………………

Just as Miron received the information, the troops of the Tua Alliance had arrived at the entrance to the Lucania Pass. Here the Alliance set up a simple checkpoint, and three sentries were stationed every day. When they found that there was any situation, they immediately ignited the beacon and notified Tuliyi to prepare for the fight.

The forest reconnaissance team led by Yizam went out early to detect whether there were any abnormalities in the pass.

The large army began to enter the mountain road.

The widest part of the narrow mountain road can accommodate four people in parallel. On both sides are steep mountains and towering trees. The mountain road is not only narrow, but also rugged. It is all uphill roads, and the gravel on the ground will slip if you accidentally slip and scratch your whole body...

There was once a cold joke from a soldier circulating throughout the army: if the enemy pushes a large circular stone down in front, it will crush it along the mountain road until it eliminates the entire Tua Alliance that went on the expedition...

The weather in Greater Greece is still hot in October, snakes and insects are still active in the mountains, and wolves can be seen from time to time in the mountains. The soldiers trek through the mountain road with nearly 50 kilograms of rations, weapons and equipment, etc., and they were all sweating and exhausted, but no one dared to fall behind, because once they fell behind, they might fall down and be injured or attacked by wild animals because no one helped.

At night, I could not build a camp according to military rules, so I could only sleep in the mountain roads, but standing guard must be carried out. Listening to the howlings of various beasts in the mountains and looking at the faint green and fierce light flashing in the dark, even though the sentries were lying around them, I couldn't help but feel terrified.

For the soldiers who were resting, the biggest difficulty of sleeping in the mountains at night was the weather. The temperature in the mountains suddenly became cold in the late autumn. Although the soldiers were prepared, they all wore sheepskins and slept. And a bonfire was lit in the center of the soldiers every ten meters, which was still a little cold... When they woke up in the morning, the soldiers screamed because there was one more thing around them: bobcats, hedgehogs, badgers, and the most terrifying thing was the poisonous snake... Several soldiers were bitten.

Most of the soldiers had only one thought in their minds: hurry up and walk out of the narrow road and seize Niutum!

Two nights later, the team began to go downhill. At Bagule's reminder, Phelisius knew that the mountain had already walked more than halfway through, so he ordered the troops to start slowing down.

Izam's team had already crossed mountains and crossed the ridges and reached the exit of the mountain road. He asked most of his subordinates to continue to monitor the movements outside and protect the expedition troops. He took advantage of the darkness to avoid the reconnaissance of the pass-by post and rushed to Laus at night to inform Avinogis.

……………………………………………………………………

Tula, the great leader of Raos City, has been in a good mood these days because Avinogis finally agreed to move to Niutum and has been preparing for the relocation these days.

The next morning, he received a report saying: Avinogis was preparing to move his tribe members to Niutum in batches. Now the first group of packs have left the city and headed towards Niutum.

Tula laughed: "Avinogis, Avinogis! Avinogis! Aren't you a very smart person?! You are actually stupid at this time! If the whole clan goes together, there are many people and powerful people, Ram and the others dare not forcefully split up and annex your tribe. If you leave in batches, why don't they swallow them cleanly! But that's right, we will no longer have to worry about the problem of the Raussian bastard!"

Recalling the days when he was worried about the riot caused by Avinogis a few days ago, Tula breathed a sigh of relief: The days of worry are finally over!

He was much more relaxed and immediately asked his servant to bring a beautiful Greek slave whom he offered a few days ago and have a good time.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Arbomas led the pack team to the exit of the passway. There were no signs here, but last year the Turiyi army invaded Laus. Although the Lucanians won a great victory in the end, the Lucanians also felt the need to set up signs.

This exit is located right between Rauss and Niutum. Since Rauss belongs to Niutum, this checkpoint is under Niutum, and as a result, it became the place for merchants who blackmailed Rauss to trade in Niutum.

In the morning, when the sentries saw the large pack team coming from the south, their first thought was to get more money, even if this pack team belonged to Avinogis, the famous leader of Laus.

Arbomas, who led the team, agreed to the unreasonable request of the sentry to ask for money. After leading the pack team into the checkpoint, he suddenly launched an attack and easily solved the ten greedy Niutum warriors.

Then, Izam, who was hiding in the pack team, immediately ran into the pass. An hour later, the Tua Alliance army immediately rushed out to meet with Arobumas. The fourth brigade (Lucania brigade) took off his armor and weapons, stuffed it into the pack cart, then changed into the ragged leather robe that he had equipped early, and scattered into the camel team, while the other three brigades were far behind.

When Arobumas saw Bagule coming up, he looked a little stunned: "I heard from Izam that there was an army of Lucanians in the Tua Alliance, but he didn't expect there were so many people!"

He spoke Lucanian, Bagule smiled and said in Greek: "Asinu bless us to cooperate smoothly!"

"Oh... it went smoothly..." Arobamas had not yet fully come to his senses when he was enthusiastically embraced by Bagule.

Tula sent to track the pack team to see if Arobumas successfully entered Niutum's men. Seeing the pack team staying at the checkpoint for a long time, he was confused. When he saw countless Greeks in armor appear, he was shocked: "Avinogis rebelled, and he colluded with the Greeks!"

He immediately returned to Rauss like a frightened rabbit.

However, Avinogis, who knew Tula very well, had already prepared for a long time. Tula's men had not yet rushed back to Laus and hid on both sides of the road. The Avinogis's personal soldiers who were monitoring the abnormality rushed up and captured him.

………………………………………

When Monet heard the news, he reported: The dust was flying in the south, and I am afraid a large army will arrive!

"That must be Avinogis who brought his tribe members!" He immediately made a judgment.

These days, Avinogis sent people to say that they were going to move in. He also sent his younger brother Alobumas to Niutum many times, repeatedly confirming that their tribesmen were about to live in, the land for grazing and working, and also made many demands. Not only did it make the whole city known, but it also made the leaders such as Ram feel a headache. However, since Avinogis was so serious, he obviously could not withstand the pressure from the two cities and finally moved.

Finally, after discussing, the leaders of Niutum decided to agree to Avinogis' request first, and after entering Niutum City, he would have no choice but to make the decision. Now everyone is in a hurry to lack warriors and strong laborers, and they are all watching the big fat piece of meat in the tribe where Avinogis is located.

Monet got on the wooden wall and soon saw a team of carriages appearing in sight: there were about dozens of trailers, not many soldiers, but there were many slaves. Under the threat of the soldiers' whipping spears, some carried heavy objects, and some assisted the carriages... There were many elderly people and women behind the convoy, and some even children. There were flocks of sheep and cattle on both sides of the convoy. The entire team was huge and bloated. People shouted sheep in the dust and fog, which was extremely noisy.
