"Of course it is, otherwise we won't find him so easily." Antrapolis answered first.

Aristilas was thinking about Davers's meaning in saying this.

Daves glanced at him and said seriously: "This Crotone is just not good enough. A good spy can not only collect information accurately and timely, and distinguish the authenticity of it. It is also capable of war. At the time, create chaos within the enemy, separate the enemy, destroy unity, destroy the enemy’s city walls, shipyards, weapon arsenals and other valuable facilities, and provide the greatest help for the victory of the city’s frontal battles. They will be our Tua Alliance. Secret soldier!"

Davos saw them sinking into thought, and said in a deep voice: "Aristiras, you are willing to take charge of such an organization for me, collect information, and cultivate such a secret team that has always been excellent to help the alliance. Right?"

The sudden invitation surprised the two of them.

Antrapolis was excited to touch his brother with his elbow, and Aristilas was also a little excited, but he could keep calm, he hesitated and said, "But Asistus..."

Davos nodded secretly: "Asistes has another important task to complete, and he no longer serves as the head of this organization."

"I am willing to work for you, my lord!" Aristilas replied simply.

………………………

Half a day later, Crotone's chief general Miron received the intelligence sent back by the spies: In the early morning, about 4,000 troops from the Tua Alliance left Turriy and marched westward. "

Milon fell into deep thought: From Turri’s position, there is only one force to the west-the Lukanians. Is Turri going to war with the Lukanians again? Is it Laos or Niutum?

Milon was suddenly a little excited: Although the Lucania area is far from Crotone and there are several forces in between, so I don't know much about it, and I rarely have contact with it. But you must know that the Lucanians are powerful indigenous forces that even the rich and powerful Greek city-state alliance in the north, the Campania Alliance, dare not provoke! The Tua Alliance has only defeated the Lucanian coalition once before, so is it delusional to use four thousand men to create another miracle of victory with less? Even if it succeeds, are they not afraid to cause another war with the entire Lucanians? Can the Tua Alliance, which is still under reconstruction, support such continuous consumption? Perhaps the young consul was dizzy by the previous victory, right? ! ...

Several thoughts flashed in Miron’s mind, and he suddenly had a mentality of watching the show: maybe he doesn’t have to wait until the peace treaty expires and Crotone declares war again, and the Lucarias will reopen. Stepping on the land of Turie, Crotone should make plans for this...

……………………

As soon as Miron received the information, the forces of the Tua Alliance had reached the entrance to the Lucania Pass, where the Alliance set up a simple checkpoint. Three sentries were stationed in turn every day. If there is a situation, he immediately lit a beacon to inform Turey to prepare for the battle.

The forest reconnaissance team led by Izam went out early to investigate whether there is any abnormality in the defile.

The army began to enter the mountain road.

The widest part of the narrow mountain road can accommodate up to four people in parallel. On both sides are steep mountains and towering trees. The mountain road is not only narrow, but also rugged. I slipped and got scratched all over...

There was once a cold joke of a soldier circulating in the whole army: If the enemy pushes down a large round stone in front, it will be crushed along the mountain road until the entire Tua alliance is on the march. Destroy all...

The autumn weather in October in Great Greece is still hotter, snakes and worms are more active in the mountains, and wolves can be seen from time to time in the mountains. The soldiers were carrying nearly fifty catties of rations, weapons and equipment on their backs. They were all sweating and exhausted, but no one dared to fall behind, because once they were left behind, they were likely to fall down and be injured or suffer beasts. Attack.

At night, it is impossible to build camps in accordance with military regulations, and can only sleep in the mountain roads, but standing guards and outposts must be implemented. Listening to the howls of various beasts in the mountains, watching the green and faint light flashing in the dark, even if there are countless teammates lying beside the sentries, they can't help but feel terrified.

For the soldiers who are resting, the biggest difficulty in staying overnight in the mountains is the weather. At the end of autumn, the temperature in the mountains suddenly became cold. Although the soldiers were prepared, they all brought sheepskins to sleep, and bonfires were lit in the middle of the soldiers every ten meters. It was still a bit cold... When they woke up in the morning, the soldiers would say Screaming, because I don't know when there was one more thing around me: bobcats, hedgehogs, dog badgers, and the most terrifying snakes... Several soldiers were bitten by this.

Most soldiers have only one thought in their hearts: Get out of the defile and take Niutum!

Two nights later, the team started to go downhill. Felicius, under Baggul's reminder, knew that the mountain road had already gone more than half, so he ordered the troops to slow down.

Izam’s team has already crossed the mountains and reached the exit of the mountain road. He asked most of his men to continue to monitor the surrounding movement and guard the expedition troops, while he avoided the detection of the pass checkpoint in the dark, and rushed to Laos in the starry night. Notify Avinojis.

…………………………

The chieftain of Laos City, Tula, is in a good mood these days, because Avinojis finally agreed to move the family to Niutum, and has been preparing for the move these days.

In the early morning of the next day, he received a report and said: Avinojis is going to move his people to Niutum in batches. Now the first batch of pack teams have left the city and headed for Niu. Thum left.

Tulahaha laughed: "Avinojis, Avinojis! Aren't you a shrewd person?! You are stupid at this time! If you go with the whole family, there will be many people. , Ram and the others dare not split up and annex your people too forcefully. You go in batches, and you won’t just let them eat them cleanly! But that’s just right, we don’t have to worry about Laos **** anymore. Problem!"

Recalling the days when I was frustrated because of fear of Avinojis causing riots a few days ago, Tula let out a sigh: The days of fear are finally over!

Much more relaxed, he immediately asked the servant to bring a beautiful Greek slave woman who had been dedicated a few days ago to have a good time.

……………………………

Arobumas led the pack team to the exit of the defile. There was originally no checkpoint here, but last year the Turri army invaded Laos. Although the Lucanians won a big victory in the end, it also let Luca The Niya felt the need to set up checkpoints.

This exit is located exactly between Laos and Niutum. Since Laos is attached to Niutum, this checkpoint is in charge of Niutum. As a result, it became a Niutum fighter to blackmail Raus. Si went to Niutum as a merchant's place of trade.

In the morning, when the sentries saw the huge pack team coming from the south, their first thought was: to get more money, even if this pack team belongs to the famous leader of Laos, Avinojis.

The leader of Alobumas agreed to the sentry's unreasonable request for money. After leading the pack team into the checkpoint, he suddenly broke out and easily solved the ten greedy Niutum fighters.

Then, Izam, who was hiding in the pack, ran into the defile. An hour later, the Tua Union army immediately drove out to join Arobumas, and the fourth group (Lukania Group) took off. Armored weapons, stuffed into the pack wagon, and then put on the ragged leather robes that had been equipped earlier, scattered and mixed into the camel team, while the other three brigades were far behind.

When Alobumas saw Baggul coming up, his expression was still a bit stunned: "I heard Izam say that the Tua League has an army of Lucanians, but I didn't expect there to be so many people!"

He was speaking in Lucanian, and Bagul smiled and said in Greek: "Asinu bless our cooperation smoothly!"

"Oh... smoothly..." Arobumas hadn't fully recovered when he was embraced by Baggul.

I was sent by Tula to follow this pack team to see if Alobmas had successfully entered Niutum’s hands. Seeing the pack team staying at the checkpoint for a long time, I was puzzled. When I saw countless bodies When the Greek in armor appeared, he was stunned: "Avenojis has rebelled, and he has colluded with the Greeks!"

He immediately returned to Laos like a frightened rabbit.

However, Avinojis, who knows Tula very well, had already prepared. Tula’s men had not rushed back to Laos. The Avinojis soldiers who were hiding on both sides of the road and monitoring abnormalities rushed forward. Capture it.

……………………

Monet heard the report from his hand: The dust is flying in the south, I am afraid that a large army will come!

"It must be Avinojis who brought the people here!" He made a judgment immediately.

In the past few days, Avinojis sent people to say that they were going to move. He also sent his brother Alobmas to Niutum many times to confirm the place where their people will live, herding and working. There are also many requirements for land. Not only makes the whole city known, but also makes Ram and other leaders feel a headache. However, since Avinojis was so real, he obviously couldn't resist the persecution of the two cities, and finally moved.

Finally, after discussing with the leaders of Nyutum, they decided: first agree to Avinojis' request, and when they enter Nyutum City, he can't help but decide. Now everyone is desperately short of warriors and strong labor, and they are all looking at the big fat of the tribe where Avinojis belongs.

Monet stepped on the wooden wall, and soon saw a pack team appear in his vision: there were probably dozens of trailers, not many soldiers, but there were many slaves. They were in the whip and spear of the soldiers. Under the threat, some carried heavy objects and some assisted with carts...There were many elderly and women behind the convoy, and some even brought children. On both sides of the convoy, there are sheep and cattle herds. The entire team is huge and bloated. In the dust and fog, people shouting sheep and making it extremely noisy.
