Chapter 40 Night Attack
"What's going on?" Neonsis asked in confusion.
With a loud bang, the door was pushed open, and the guards rushed in with a look of ecstasy: "Report to all generals, the scouts are back, they said... they said... they said... they said the mercenaries won! The Lucanian coalition was eliminated!!"
"Is this true?!" The generals could hardly believe their ears and asked in unison.
"The scouts were right outside the door. They also went to the big river beach where the mercenaries fought against the Lucanians, and said that they were full of Lucanian corpses!!"
"Unbelievable! It's really unbelievable! They actually won!!" Neonsis murmured as if in a dream.
"How did they do it?" Kunogorata went to the battlefield yesterday. The ferocity of the Lucanian soldiers still scared him. Moreover, he knew the huge gap in the forces between the two sides, so the news of victory was simply a miracle for him.
"What kind of person is Davers?" At this moment, Ansitanos wanted to learn about this magical mercenary leader with interest.
Polyxis immediately remembered the smiling young man he saw on the ship of Burcos. He did not expect that this young man who seemed harmless would destroy the Lukari coalition, which was regarded as a flood, and rescued the city of Turi's injustice.
"He is a young man, but it is rumored among the mercenaries that he is the god of Hades! He is also called the creator of miracle! On the way back from Persia..." Bulcos, who was criticized by the generals and had been staying in the city hall before, said loudly with great pride that he had heard about Davers' heroic deeds. There was only one voice in his heart that was stirring and boiling: He did it! He really did it!!
The generals did not laugh at these seemingly absurd rumors, nor did they face Bulkos' extremely excited gaze, and they stride out of the hall.
In the square of the city hall, countless women, children and elderly people wearing black veils were mourning, but they were full of sad faces, but they were cheering for victory loudly. Some even started crying, but they were tears of joy. The haze that shrouded the hearts of the people of Tuliyi dissipated at this moment.
The scouts also brought Davers' message: I hope Turiy will send people to clean the battlefield, bury the bodies, and prevent the plague from happening.
Out of caution, the generals decided to send people to the battlefield to check first. This time, Neoncius led the team himself. When he arrived at the river beach, the scene in front of him made him gasp: the river beach area, including the hot spring swamp, turned into a red blood river, and naked corpses were accumulated in the blood (mercenaries took away all the armor and weapons of the deceased), and it was completely hell on earth...
"This is a terrible miracle!" Neonsis trembled all over his body: "The terrible Hades God's favor!..."
………………………………………
In order to thank Davers, Achita, Dracos, Adrianques, Sesta, several leaders and generals of the leaders and generals for their contributions to Turiyi, the generals and decided to discuss and decide with the Council: Bulcos accompanied Ansitanos to the mercenary camp, invited them to the city of Turiyi to participate in the victory celebration, and accepted the gratitude of the people of Turiyi. At the same time, they also brought one hundred cans of wine and fifty cans of olive oil to reward the soldiers.
The group rushed to the camp, but was stopped by the guards, claiming that the leader and the soldiers were extremely tired after a day of fierce fighting. Now most of them have fallen asleep to recover their energy, so the guards were notified that no one should be allowed to enter to prevent accidents.
Burkes repeatedly persuaded him, and the guards insisted. Burkos had been to Davers camp several times before, and knew that the military rules here were very strict, and the camp was indeed extremely quiet, so Turiyi and his group had to leave.
Then, they found Achita.
Achita was very happy to receive them, but when they explained their purpose, Achita looked embarrassed and said, "To be honest, this victory was entirely due to the planning of Davers' genius. Tarantum reinforcements were only assisting from the side. If Davers did not go, of course he could not go, so as not to be ridiculed!"
Ansitanos had no choice but to decide to invite him tomorrow.

The mercenary soldiers were indeed forced to rest, but the mercenary officers, Adrianx, and Sesta are now concentrated in Davers' tent.
After receiving the reward from the guard, Davers smiled and said, "Turi was guarding us like a thief before, but now he wants to please us. Isn't it a bit too late?"
"Yes, I hate Turi's face. We are not annihilated for the Lucanians," Amintas said contemptuously.
"It's a pity that I missed Turiyi's celebration. Maybe there are many beautiful Turiyi girls waiting for the leader to go!" Olivers's words caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Davers looked at him funnyly: "Why do I give you this opportunity?"
"I can't." Olivers shook his head vigorously: "Turiy invited Davers, who was shocking Lucania, not a small person like me. I'd better continue to sleep in the camp!" Olivers's pretended funny appearance caused everyone to laugh.
"Chief, we still have to establish a good relationship with Turi, after all, it will become our neighbor in the future." Phelis reminded.
Davers nodded, his eyes fell on Adrianx and Sesta, and asked with concern: "How is Drax's situation?"
"Under the treatment of Helps, he has been much better and has also told us to obey your command!" Sesta said gratefully, and Adrianx nodded from the side.
Of course, Davers heard that Sesta expressed his obedience to Davers through the mouth of Dracos. He immediately said, "That's great. We don't want to lose a warrior like Dracos! If he hadn't stood at the front of the defense line, resisted the enemy's attack and boosted the morale of the soldiers, the northern defense line would probably be broken!" After praising Dracos, he looked around and said in a deep voice: "I'll reiterate the battle plan tonight!"
Everyone stopped talking and stared at Davers with a focused expression.
Davers picked up the wooden stick and pointed at the wooden table. There was a city model made of soil on the wooden table: "At 2 o'clock tonight, the whole army set out to Amendolar, and after crossing the Sisno River, Hilos!"
"exist!"
"Don't let us build the stone wall in vain. I hope your training for more than ten days will be effective."
"Chief, don't worry!" Hilos said confidently: "Soldiers will use rope hooks to climb up the city wall and open the city gate in the shortest time!"
Davers nodded, and then said, "If the enemy is discovered and the sneak attack is blocked. Cappus, Antonio, your two companies carry the long ladder, Alexis, your company will take the wood to the city as fast as possible and launch a strong attack!"
"Yes!" the three of them answered simply.
"After the city gate is opened, Amintas, your company will break through the enemy's defense line as fast as possible and enter the city!"
"It's my turn!" Amintas grinned.
"After entering the city, all the troops followed my previous arrangements, led by the Amendolarah guide, and quickly attacked the top of the mountain along these two mountain roads." Davers pointed a place on the city model with a wooden stick: "According to the Amendolarah people, this mountain city has a relatively large area and not many flat areas, only the Senate, the square, and the temple on the top of the mountain, so these three places are most likely the places where the Lucanians detain the Amendolarah people and their own military camps. Do you know that you must occupy these places as fast as possible?!"
"It's clear!!!" everyone shouted in unison.
At this time, Alexis asked, "When can we light the torch?"
"Good question!" Davers then realized that he had missed an important thing. After a moment of contemplation, he said: "The city gate is opened, or the sneak attack fails, and it can be ignited when it is launched! Everyone-" Davers said in a stressed tone: "Tomorrow, Turiyi may ask us to help regain Amendolara, and perhaps the Lucanians will escape from Amendolara, so we can only this evening! Only when we regain Amendolara from the Lucanians can we become our spoils, we can save a lot of trouble and truly become the masters of Amendolara! So tonight we are only allowed to succeed, not fail!!!"
