As a warrior as famous as Matonis, Martius was relatively peaceful, had no great ambitions, and could be loyal to his duties, so Davers always trusted him very much. Although the number of ruling guards was full, they were also responsible for the guards in important places such as the Senate, the Temple of Hades, and the arena. The vacant quotas could be entirely served by the young people recommended by the leaders and tribal nobles in the hall. If you want to integrate the Bissinians into the Dionian League as soon as possible, these young elites of Bissinians should be allowed to join the Dionian political system, understand Dionian systems as soon as possible, learn Dionian culture, and get used to Dionian life, so as Baccilipi said, they were assimilated into the real Dionians, and then return to influence the Bissinian people.

He needed to go back to discuss this matter with the Senate, but he could agree first and join the guard as a Bissinian volunteer. After Davers made up his mind, he immediately agreed.

Soon, a guard of more than 60 people was gathered in Bissinia City.

Davers appointed Rodom as the captain of the guard and announced that they would be responsible for the guard tonight.

As soon as the order was issued, it was strongly opposed by Dracos, Capps and others.

But Davers insisted and declared: "Now Vissinia is already Vissinia of Dionia, and the Vissinian soldiers are also soldiers of Dionia! No commander does not trust his soldiers!"

Finally, Davers, Dracos, Cappus and others reached an agreement, with Martius leading the guards to guard the outside of the yard and the Bissinian soldiers guard the inside of the yard.

After Rodom and the others received the news, they were all very moved and vowed not to let Lord Davers, who trusted them, be frightened.

Originally, the uneasy Bissian people were relieved by Davers' actions.

In addition to the senior generals of the legion, the one who is most afraid of accidents is the leader of Bajilipi and tribal nobles. You should know that if something happens to Davers, two thousand Dionys soldiers in the city and more than ten thousand soldiers outside the city will burn Bissinia to ashes, so they repeatedly reminded the tribe members who served as guards tonight.

Spend this night safely.

The next day, Davers, who had a stable sleep, and Cappus, Dracos, three Bissinian leaders, Heraclia, and Castrom Allied generals discussed the march to the Kosenza Plateau.

Cincinnag waited for the reinforcements sent out to quickly defeat the Elias and then quickly returned. In fact, he did not wait too long before he saw Geninath fleeing back with hundreds of remaining soldiers, covered in wounds.

"What did you say?! You were caught in the ambush of the Dionians?!" Cincinnag looked in disbelief: "How could there be Dionian troops outside the city of Picosis?! The city of Grummentum has been under my surveillance, and they have never sent a single force!"

Geninath shook his head and said weakly: "Elia... they probably came from Elia... I can see clearly that although they were all wearing Greek armor, most of them were tall and hair color... and even the roaring sounds were Lucanians..."

After Cincinnag's son's reminder, his thoughts suddenly opened: "You mean they are from Niutum... Why didn't our spies discover it?!"

On the way back, Geninath had already thought about this matter clearly. He coughed and said anxiously: "They... cough... probably got on the boat from Laus... maybe they didn't walk along the coast... cough... but went outwards... Our warships could not fight against Laus and Elia's warships... so they could only cruise near the port... cough... it would be nice if they were not blocked... They had about three or four thousand people... Father, what should we do now?!"

"Go back! We must go back to Picoses right away!" Cincinnager had already had a premonition of something wrong: "Can your body still hold on?"

Geninata nodded: "…hem…what should those tribes do?"

"Let them follow us, we need more warriors now. If a tribe refuses to follow us-" Cincinnager's face showed a sinister expression and said coldly: "Let's do it again when we were in Grummentum!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the spy hurried in: "Report to the great leader, a army of Dionys appeared in the north of us, with about 4,000 people!"

"Report! The tribes in the south gathered about 5,000 soldiers and rushed towards our camp!"

"Report, the great leader! Grummentum's army has left the city! It has been confirmed that the general they led was Bagule!"

Bad news followed one after another, causing Cincinnag's cold sweat to spread layer after layer, and his whole body was soaked. When he heard the news, he was shocked: "Do you say Bagule was not injured?!"

"It seems like yes, the big leader."

Cincinnag was stunned. After a while, he murmured: "Conspiracy! This is a conspiracy that the Dionians had designed long ago!"

He suddenly remembered something and said anxiously: "Go and call the leaders of Lude and the Brina tribe over. They will force them to come if they refuse to come!"

As soon as the guards went out, one of the leaders of Picossis stumbled in: "The big leader is not good! Lud and Brina are leading the riot!"

"Puff!" Cincinnag was furious and a mouthful of blood squirted to the ground.

………………………………………

Dionia attacked Picossis' camp from north, east and south, and the camp was in chaos and could not organize effective defenses, so it was easily broken.

Geninath died in battle, and Cincinnager led his minority members to escape into the mountains to the west, and most of the rest surrendered.

"Captain Hironimus Legion, how to deal with so many prisoners?" Bagule asked his superior for instructions.

"According to the orders of Lord Davers, they were all demoted to city-state slaves and taken back to Turi, as a coolie who mined, built roads, and built temples..." Hironimus said to himself, not paying attention to the expression on Bagule's face: "In addition, another thousand Picoses prisoners were drawn out, and when we attacked Picoses, we could force the tribes in the city to surrender.

Then he ordered: "Bagul, continue to guard the city of Grummentum, and do not relax the surveillance of the north Potendia. If there is any abnormality, send a messenger to notify me immediately."

"yes."

"Agarcia, go and urge the soldiers to speed up the progress of cleaning the battlefield, otherwise we will not be able to rest at night."

"Don't worry, Legion Commander. I will stare at it like a shepherd guarding the flock of sheep. Whoever dares to be lazy will I hit him in the butt!" Agarcia laughed.

The Third Legion carefully implemented the plan proposed by Davers. Their joint perfection of the enemy seduction finally had a relatively perfect result. After the mission was assigned, Hironimus showed a rare smile.

"Big brother!" Ascesters called Bagule, who was walking back with his head down: "Mr. Davers once said, 'Don't treat surrendered enemies too kindly, because being too kind will make the enemy forget the mistakes they made and make mistakes again. Therefore, we must sometimes raise the wooden stick high, so that the enemy is afraid and keep the lessons in mind.' The method that the master calls it 'bread and stick'..."

Ascesters looked at the thoughtful Bagule and said with a serious expression: "It is good enough that our bill to appease the tribes in the north is not only given land, but also selflessly allocated some cattle and sheep... But when we encounter danger, they did not stand with us to overcome the difficulties, but instead defected to the enemy, and wanted to destroy us and divide more of our land! This time, the severe punishment of them is believed to shock all the Lucanian tribes on this land, so that they should think carefully when making decisions related to us, whether to choose to accept bread or to bear the big stick?!"

Bagule looked at the soldiers busy on the battlefield. They dismantled the enemy's camp, picked up the supplies on the ground, grabbed the abandoned weapons, and removed the armor from the corpses... put them on a loaded cart, then lifted the enemy's corpses and threw them into piles of burning corpses with blazing flames...

The mountain wind blew, and ashes were floating everywhere in the air.

Bagule sighed and said, "I hope that after this battle, the Lucania region can truly restore peace!"

Bagule vomited depression in his heart, and slapped Yassus on the shoulder and said loudly: "No matter what, we finally solved the problem of Cincinnag, which gave us a headache. We must celebrate it well! Tonight, I will visit your house. I haven't tasted the mutton roasted by my sister for a long time. We will not return until we get drunk!"

A month later, the Cincinnager people who fled into the mountains were tired of avoiding the pursuit of the Deonian soldiers all day long, and had to endure the hard life of the mountains and the increasingly crazy insults and beatings of Cincinnager. Finally, they couldn't help but attack Cincinnager while she was sleeping and went down the mountain to surrender to Grummentum City. This is a later story.

…………………………

When Pi'anlun led his army back to Cosenza, the rioters had already fled.

In the following time, he led Petalu and Firotalu to comfort the people in the city and meet with other tribe leaders in the city...

Just as he was busy, Knapetia's messenger arrived at Kosenza.
