Chapter 89: Puamt's Decision
When Puamot saw rows of soldiers from the Dionys Legion holding their heads and chests passing by, he couldn't help but exclaim: "What a powerful army! There are so many brave soldiers in Dionys, who dares to invade! No wonder the Samonets are not your opponent of Lord Davers!"
"The great leader of Puammo, Samonet's army was repelled by the brave leader of Potendia, led by brave soldiers." Davers said modestly.
"Mr. Davers, if you had not led your army to annihilate the reinforcements sent to Poseidonia, and then formulated a careful plan, sent soldiers to sneak into the enemy camp, disrupted the enemy, and sent subordinates to contact us and persuade us to carry out a night attack... On our own, how could we have the ability to repel so many fierce Samones!" Pollet said bluntly.
"You and I should not be humble to each other! Being able to win such a victory and restore peace to this land is the result of unity and cooperation between Dionya and Potendia!" Davers said in the end.
"Yes, thank God Asinu! Potendia was very grateful to join the Dionysian League. Without Dionys' full help, there would be no Potendia today! The Potendia people will always remember this kindness!" Puamot sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Other leaders also expressed their gratitude to Davers.
"Mr. Davers, we have prepared a camp for your army, and it is close to the city of Pottentiya. It was the settlement of one of our tribes. Because time was rushed, we did not fully clean up. Some houses inside were destroyed by the Samones." Pollett said. After following the army of Dionia these days, he knew what Davers needed most at this time.
"Thank you so much, this solved our big problem!" Davers was overjoyed when he heard this, and continued: "It doesn't matter if the camp is a bit dilapidated, but these torches will be borrowed to us for use at that time."
"Mr. Davers, tonight we have prepared a welcome banquet for you and your soldiers to celebrate the victory. When you set up a camp, our tribesmen will carry hundreds of cattle and sheep, as well as wine to your camp..." Puamot said loudly when he saw the atmosphere was very good, but as soon as he was halfway through, Davers interrupted tactfully: "Major leader Puamot, and all the leaders, I am very grateful for your kind invitation and your friendship with Dionia! But I heard that this time the invasion of the Samonets caused great losses to you, the villages and farmlands were burned, many tribes were massacred or captured, and a large number of livestock were lost... You are a little nervous now, and you even gave us food to reward us. Do you think we can eat?"
Davers's emotional words were about the weakness of the leaders of Potantia. A group of people did not speak, but only looked at their big leaders.
Puamot said urgently: "Mr. Davers, we have some difficulties, but you-"
Davers interrupted him again and said seriously: "Great Chief, our "Dionian Second Law" stipulates that during the war, the army is not allowed to drink, entertain or celebrate. When I was in Elia, I had already received news that the army of Syracuse had just invaded Great Greece! So the war here has ended, and the war in the south has just begun. We will rush back to Turii to drive away the enemies of Sicily... When the victory comes, Dionya will hold a great parade of victory. At that time, Dionya will grandly invite the great leader and all the leaders to Turii to celebrate this hard-won victory!"
Speaking of this, the leaders of Potendia were not good at advising anything else, not to mention that this was in line with the practice of medicine for many people. Puamot, who had never traveled far away, even made a promise: "I will definitely go then!"
"In addition, after capturing the city of Poseidonia, we seized a large amount of food given to the Samones by the Syracuse people. Given that the people of Potentiya are now struggling to make a living, I decided to transfer this batch of supplies to Potentiya so that the land can be restored as soon as possible." Davers said solemnly.
Everyone present was stunned.
"This...this...how can this...this!" Puamot, who has always been steady and calm, was incoherent and did not know what to say.
"Mr. Davers, that's your spoil, and your army as large as you need food," Pollert said quickly.
"That's it!" Davers said confidently.
"Mr. Daphens!"
"Thank you, Lord Davers!"
"I thank you for the people of the Rionum tribe!"
...
Many leaders rushed to express their gratitude, this time it was entirely from the sincerity.
Davers smiled and said nothing. In fact, as Pollett said, his 30,000 troops were also tight. The soldiers' rations had been eaten, and the food was transported from Grummentum by land and sea. One third of the food would be consumed on the road. It would be good if the army could be maintained for ten days in Porcelainthia. Although the war here has ended, there is still follow-up work to be completed. Even so, he still donated an astonishing amount of supplies to Pottenthia without hesitation, not for the present, but for the future.
At this time, the atmosphere of the scene became more harmonious, and Davers had a great conversation with the leaders...
And in the mountains not far from them, pairs of hatred eyes were staring at the grand and lively scenes at the foot of the mountain.
"Captain, have you really decided to attack the camp tonight?! There are probably tens of thousands of people in Dionia, while we only have more than one thousand people, and most of the people are still hungry! It would be better to wait until the great leader and Lesguk leader and others meet and then attack the enemy!" The soldiers under his command showed a hesitant look.
"It's too late by then! Only when the Deonians have just arrived here and they are overly tired will the chance of attacking the camp be successful! Potendia... Potendia can... cough cough... can do it, and we can!" Gerny cheered the tribesmen in a deep voice, but couldn't stop coughing. The experience of last night was like a nightmare. If it weren't for the night attack, he wouldn't even want to mention the term "Potendia".
"Besides, we have been looking for it for a day today, and we haven't met...my father...and Lesguk and others..." He looked a little worried and depressed when he said this, but he quickly threw away these thoughts that troubled him and cheered his tribe again: "We must act immediately! Otherwise, tomorrow, the army of Dionia may attack Kopsa northward! We must do our best to defend Abenirum and the nearby land!"
"Yes..." The Samone warriors' answers were weak.
……………………………
Late at night, Puamot returned to his house, his mood still in the excitement of his previous conversation: "Pollert, what do you think of Davers?"
"A great Greek chief! An amazing army commander!" Pollet said concisely.
"So, do you think he can lead the Dionians to repel the army of Syracuse?" Puamot continued.
Pollet hesitated for a moment, and then said with certainty: "I have never seen the army of Syracuse, but the Legion of the Dionians is the most disciplined and powerful Greek army I have ever seen. I believe they can win!"
"I believe it too." Puamot said, and saw his brother's face look surprised and smiled: "Although I have never participated in the battle, Davers is the Greek general I have ever seen who can control his desires and control his subordinates' desires! Such a person has a personality like a pine tree growing in a rock. He will never surrender when encountering setbacks, and he will definitely win the final victory! So--"
Puamot took a few steps and came to the statue of Asinu. After praying devoutly, he made his final decision: "I decided to offer Poseidonia to Dionia."
"What?!" Pollett was shocked when he heard this.
"In fact, Poseidonia is now in the hands of the Dionians, and they seized it from Samonet. Davers has not mentioned how to deal with the city just now, so it is better to give it to the Dionet. Anyway, the people there are either killed or captured. If we cannot save them, then leave it to the Dionets to rescue them." Puamot sighed, his eyes brighter and brighter: "I think Davers is a man with a broad mind. The Brutis subjugated, Southern Lucania subjugated, many Greek city-states subjugated, and the Samonets were defeated... The Dionets have the final say in the future. We must make a choice as soon as possible, so that Davers will not treat us Potentia badly."
"I understand, brother. You are the leader of Potendia. You have the final say and I will listen to you." Pollet said sincerely.
"No, I am old, you will be in charge of Potendia in the future. I believe you will handle your relationship with Potendia well." Puamot said calmly. He has no children, Potret is his younger brother, more like his son.
………………………………
Late at night, a noise appeared in Camp Dionia, awakening Davers from his sleep.
"What happened?" Davers looked at the acting guard captain Rodolm and the commander Thormid who walked into the house calmly.
"Sir, the Samones attacked the camp and were discovered by the sentry. Because they were in the defense zone of the Second Legion, the commander of the Amintas had led the team to attack. I believe they will be able to repel them soon." Thormid said.
