Chapter 177: The Destruction of the Town of Papania

Contruk, the chief of the Caracheni, said coldly: "I hope the plan will be implemented smoothly this time, otherwise-"

Although the old man didn't finish his words, Lesguk knew that he was reminding him.

The plan for the Samone coalition to attack the Doni region was mainly formulated by Lesguk. In addition to the success of the initial raid, the next few attacks were defeated. The three tribes of Hilpini, Penteney and Carachini suffered heavy losses. While Lesguk was criticized by the other two major leaders, he also realized that after achieving the initial success, he was a little dizzy and forgot to implement his original idea: not to fight against the Dionians on the flat ground, but should use the mountain battles that the Samones are good at dealing with the enemy.

However, even though the commander of the Dorney region of Dionia won one after another, he remained calm and was not tempted by the Samones, and rashly marched into the mountains.

Lesguk and his friends finally felt that they could not gain any advantage in the Doni region, but they were unwilling to stop harassing Dionia, so that Dionia could free up his hands to concentrate on eliminating other enemies. So they had to turn their targets to the west. The weak Dionian allies - the Campania Alliance and the empty Lucania region seemed to be better harassing targets.

Moreover, because Kauteni suffered a crushing defeat before, he was captured by a large number of soldiers. Therefore, when the Samone coalition attacked Doni, Kauteni did not send too many soldiers, so the losses suffered were small. Just so happened that the previously captured Kauteni warriors had been released by the Dionians and returned to the tribe, making Kauteni now the strongest of the four major tribes.

Segovani, who had just returned to Kauteim, happily agreed after hearing the plans of the three great leaders. Of course, the reason was not only because of repaying favors (the three tribes forced Dionya to release Kauteim's captives with hostages from Gruum in the Doni region), but also because he needed the support of other great leaders and high priests to enable him to regain the position of the great leader. Of course, he also hated Dionya, who had given him great humiliation, and hoped to cause great trouble for it.

Both sides hit it off.

This is why Lesguk, Contruk, Badani and Jonny appeared here.

Enona, a city on the northwestern border of the Kingdom of Diona. Although the Samones were fighting against Diona and Enona bordered the Naconia region of the Kautini tribe, the city has been in peace, and people or merchants go to the small town of Bapania in the northeast every day.

But on this day, the sentries at the head of Enona saw a long group of people coming from the northeast. They supported the elderly and young, carried packages, and drove a cart, running towards Enona City with panic.

Walking in front were several Hades priests in white robes. They rushed to the city guards and shouted anxiously, "The great leader of Kauteni... led his army to capture the city of Naconia. We got the news of the Naconia believers' risking death... and then we escaped first... The town of Bapania is in danger! I have notified the town of Demo, but there are still many people who have not left. Hurry up and send troops to rescue! Hurry! Hurry!..."

The chief executive in Enona is Adrianques. He has been in office for three years and his term is almost over. However, due to the recent outbreak of several wars in Dionia and it is impossible to end in a short period of time, under such a situation, in order to ensure the stability of the kingdom, his term of office may be extended, so he has been more at ease to continue to perform his duties conscientiously.

In the city hall, he was shocked after receiving the urgent report from the city guard captain, and immediately ordered: "Go and sound the alarm bell quickly and let the whole city enter emergency combat preparations! Also... send people to the barracks outside the city to inform General Zantipalis, and ask him to lead his army to defend Bapania!"

"Yes, sir!"

Looking at the back of the city guard captain leaving hurriedly, Adrianx looked solemn. He knew that Enona's tranquility had been broken and that the war had come!

While worried about the lives and death of the Bapanian people, he remembered another important thing, so he immediately called the clerk: "Send people to Pompeii immediately and tell them that the Kautini people had abnormal movements, so that the Campanian League would strengthen their vigilance, beware of the Kautini invasion again!"

Zantiparis originally came to the Lucania area under the orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs to form a reserve army, replace the Third Army, and undertake the defense mission of the entire northwest region of the Kingdom of Dionia.

At first he set his garrison in a military camp near Grummentum, but after the Samones invaded the Doni area, Zantiparis changed his garrison to Enona. After all, this was the closest city to the Samones (although Kopsa was the same, he believed that Abenirum, which was a barrier, was much more reliable than Naconia). Unexpectedly, he had just completed the preparations for the reserve army, and the Ministry of Military Affairs asked Epitianis to take four brigades away from him, but did not allow him to expand again, which made him quite helpless.

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

Just as the army of Dionia and the Roman army fought fiercely in the city of Ostia, Segovani led the army of Samonet, hosted the surrendered Naconia leader, and successfully entered the Naconia region, occupying the settlement of the tribe who did not surrender (including the tribe of Quinduk), and used the lives and safety of his tribe family to force his people to follow his troops to attack the small town of Bapania in Enona.

The town, which was personally supervised by the Chief Executive of Enona, Systers, has become quite prosperous due to the frequent exchanges between Dionia and Naconia. Moreover, in order to show the sincerity of the Dionians towards the Naconia and eliminate their vigilance, it did not place too many defensive forces in this town. In addition, the enemy came suddenly, so it was easily captured.

Segovani captured the people of Dionia who were still in the town, and then ordered the Naconian soldiers to burn Bapania and force them to break up with Dionia completely. Then, while leading the army back to Naconia, he sent troops to block the mountain road connected to Enona.

The reason why Segovani did not directly attack Enona was the decision made by several major leaders after a painful lesson in the Doni region, and they targeted the attack on the weaker and more bullied Campania League.

When Segovani led his army into Naconia, nearly 10,000 Samone coalition forces who had been waiting for a long time in the small mountain pass city of abella, quickly advanced westward, passing through Cesala, and attacked the city of Atla, which once caused the Kautinians to suffer great losses.

Due to the previous large gathering of Kautini leaders held in Lola, the Campanian League headed by Naples turned the center of defense to the southeast, without guarding against the raids of the Samante people in the northeast. Atla, the small town on the border of the Campanian League territory, quickly fell under the fierce attack of the Samante warriors.

At the same time, after returning to Naconia, Segovani, who had burned the small town of Bapania, returned to Naconia, he led 7,000 Kauteni soldiers (including more than 3,000 Naconians) and rushed to the southwest, attacking Pompeii, which was only 20 miles away from Naconia.

For more than ten years, Pompeii has been living peacefully with Naconia due to Dionia. He never expected that an enemy would attack from the southeast and the attack speed was so fast. In a hurry, most of the people outside the city had no time to retreat to the city, and became prisoners of the Kautenis.

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

After receiving the order from Adrianques, Zantiparis was not excited about being about to participate in the battle because there was only one large group of soldiers in the barracks.

This is actually very normal, because under normal circumstances, soldiers of a legion bring their own rations and standard weapons and equipment to the barracks from their homes within three or four days, and conduct military training under the leadership of the military training officer. Unless the Military Training Office of the Ministry of Military Affairs notifies the entire army to conduct joint training, each brigade usually takes turns (the usual training of the barracks of each legion is the military training officer sent by the Military Training Office of the Kingdom Military Affairs Department. The corps commander has no right to intervene, but he can observe the training situation on the side, understand the status of his soldiers, and put forward his own training suggestions. Only after obtaining the authorization of the king and the Ministry of Military Affairs can he have the right to command his own legion.).

Originally, in the current severe situation, Zantiparis should have concentrated all the soldiers in the military camp, but in this way, when the soldiers' own food is exhausted, the military camp will have to provide food. Usually, it is mostly allocated by the granaries in nearby areas. Now that the food is tight, Zantiparis can only let all brigades take turns to the military camp to garrison.

Although there were only 1,000 soldiers in the barracks, Zantiparis still gathered them together without hesitation and quickly marched towards Bapania.

At the same time, Zantiparis also asked the messengers to immediately rush to the four coastal towns of Enona, Poseidonia, Elia and Picossis, and notified the other brigades of soldiers to gather at the military camp immediately. When Epitianis came to draw troops, he became more cautious and specially asked Epitianis to take away a brigade composed mainly of citizens from Lucania's inland towns such as Grummentum and Niutum. The brigade was left with a brigade composed of citizens of coastal towns, which was to inform the soldiers to gather and the soldiers to arrive at the military camp in the future.
