Chapter 310

"What?!" Kanaru could not believe his ears. The shock had completely driven away his drowsiness, and he could clearly hear the battle cries outside the house. "Enemy?! Where did the enemy come from?! Are they Cosenza's men?! " The sudden change left him at a loss. It was not without reason that he first identified the enemy as Cosenza's men. Due to the terrain, the Greeks had never entered the territory of Abyssinia, but Cosenza had fought with them many times. To defend against Cosenza, Abyssinia had built a small fortress on the west side of the Cosenza Plateau. However, as Bruti was moving towards unification last year, to show Abyssinia's sincerity, Nicourou removed the fortress, leaving only a sentry post. Because of this, Kanaru even quarreled with his father.

Kanaru flew into a rage when his men did not know anything. "Get out of here! Find out the truth and report back! No! "

"Someone! Inform the leaders of Bagylipi and Brim. Ask them to bring their people to the council hall! "

"Blow the horn and ask the people to come here!"

"Ask everyone to pick up their weapons and follow me to chase away the enemy!"

Kanaru's order was decisive, but it was difficult to carry it out. The people of Abyssinia had never encountered such a disaster before, and they lacked the means to respond. The people in the mansion panicked and were in a mess.

Kanaru managed to organize a few dozen people and rushed out of the door. Then, they ran into the enemy who was charging at them.

Kanaru roared and rushed forward. He waved the iron rod in his hand and smashed the enemy in front of him. Even the wooden shield was broken, which showed how strong he was.

"Don't fight him head-on. Go around him and deal with the others first!" Adrianx saw the situation and made a prompt decision.

The Greeks! Kanaru then carefully looked at the enemy in front of him. He was shocked. But at this moment, he did not have time to think about how the Diónia people invaded Abyssinia.

Adrianx's orders made him think that he was the commander of the Greeks, and he immediately charged in Adrianx's direction.

The experienced Adrianx calmly commanded the soldiers around him to retreat quickly. They did not want to fight Kanaru head-on.

Kanaru was anxious and chased after him step by step. However, he did not know that his clansmen were blocked by the Diónia soldiers and had distanced themselves from him.

Kanaru was infuriated by Adrianx's refusal to fight until the shrill screams of his clansmen woke him up. When he turned around, he saw that his clansmen had been killed by the Greeks. He had no choice but to turn back to rescue them.

Adrianx ordered the soldiers to chase after him and continue to tangle with him.

At this time, the other two teams also rushed over from other streets.

Kanaru saw that the enemy was outnumbered and didn't dare to fight anymore. He led the surviving clansmen back to the mansion. In the process, he was hit by a javelin and his cheek was pierced. However, he tried his best to repel the Diónia soldiers who were trying to take the opportunity to enter the mansion.

After retreating into the mansion and closing the door, Kanaru immediately sat on the ground and had no strength to stand up.

Seeing this scene, the clansmen were all shocked.

"Reporting, Captain. The leader of Abyssinia, Brim, has been injured and captured!" The captain of the first company of the first brigade reported to Adrianx.

Adrianx had a purpose for dividing the seven hundred soldiers who entered Ciudad Abyssinia into three teams. Through the information, he knew that there were three tribes in Ciudad Abyssinia. After asking Adepigis to interrogate the captives and find out the residences of the three leaders, he immediately began to carry out the "decapitation operation". Now, it seemed that everything was going smoothly.

Brim's mansion was the closest to the city gate. He should have been unprepared when he was ambushed. However, how did the other team of soldiers arrive so quickly?

The captain of the second company gave the answer, "The leader of Abyssinia led his clansmen to surrender before we even started the attack!"

Surrender voluntarily! Adrianx did not expect such a situation. He remembered that the leader was called Bagylipi. He had been assisting the Great Chieftain of Abyssinia for more than ten years and was quite famous among the people of Abyssinia. Remembering the instructions of the Devers, Adrianx quickly asked his subordinates to invite Bagylipi over.

Bagylipi, who was in his fifties, had white hair and beard. He looked very old. Seeing that Adrianx was talking to him in a gentle manner, he calmed down and immediately agreed. He was willing to persuade the people in the mansion of the Great Chieftain on behalf of Diónia.

Bagylipi was good at judging the situation. When the Nicourou tribe was strong, as one of the candidates for the Great Chieftain, he gave up the election and fully supported Nicourou to be the Great Chieftain of Abyssinia. Therefore, he had been trusted by Nicourou for many years and his tribe had benefited a lot from it. At the beginning of the war between the Bruti and Diónia, he took advantage of the fact that Ciudad Abyssinia and Turií were only separated by a river. He put in a lot of effort to understand his powerful neighbor. He felt that it was impossible for the Bruti to defeat the alliance of Diónia, but they might be able to force a truce by relying on the terrain. However, when the city was in chaos, his clansmen told him in panic based on the appearance of the enemy that the attackers might be Greeks. After thinking about it calmly, he felt that the defeat of the Bruttians was inevitable. Since they had lost the terrain, he immediately ordered his clansmen to lay down their arms and surrender. Most of the people obeyed the orders of a leader who had been in charge of the tribe for 30 years. There were also a few who objected and were taken down on the spot.

His surrender quickly reduced the resistance in the city.

Now, he stood in front of the Great Chieftain's mansion and shouted at the people in the courtyard. The Bruti who were lying on the courtyard wall and peeping outside saw that even Bagylipi had surrendered to the Greeks. One could imagine how shocked they were.

Only Kanaru, after learning of Bagylipi's betrayal, laid on the sickbed and cursed. He swore that after the Greeks were destroyed, he would definitely tear Bagylipi into pieces!

Kanaru endured the pain and ordered his men to gather everyone in the courtyard to defend stubbornly. However, what greeted him was a cold stare.

Not long after Bagylipi shouted, the courtyard door opened. Kanaru's clansmen came out with Kalaru's body to surrender. According to them, Kanaru died from his serious injuries.

… …

The 300 members of the First Battalion were responsible for raiding the camp. At first, it was relatively smooth. After all, the camp was mainly set up to defend against the river path in the east. All the defensive facilities were in the east. They did not expect the enemy to attack from the west. They were caught off guard and the Diónia soldiers easily broke into the camp.

However, because it was during war and this was the frontline of Abyssinia, the soldiers were more vigilant and quickly organized to resist. In particular, the four towering sentry towers in the camp were originally used for crossfire on the river path and long-range attacks on the enemy's middle and rear to disrupt the enemy's ability to attack continuously. Now, they were using the advantage of the high ground to delay the fierce attack of the Diónia soldiers with arrows. As the soldiers of the Second Legion were not wearing armor, they suffered some damage.

The people of Abyssinia fought desperately. Although the number of Diónia soldiers was greater, they could not completely capture the camp in a short time.

The battle lasted for a while until the Abyssinia soldiers saw the fire in the city and gradually lost their fighting spirit.

When the main force of the Second Legion finished trekking through the river path and arrived at the defensive fortress of Abyssinia, the battle had subsided and the troops successfully entered the territory of Abyssinia.

When Legion Commander Dracos heard the news that Adrianx was leading the army to attack Ciudad Abyssinia, he did not care about his fatigue and led the troops to rush to reinforce the city.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Ciudad Abyssinia, he saw Adrianx standing there with a smile. Dracos knew that the city had changed hands.

"Good, Adrianx. You've got guts! You didn't even leave us a chance to fight! "Dracos pointed at his good friend. He was angry and annoyed and did not know what to say.

"Legion Commander, please enter the city!" Capturing the defensive camp and Ciudad Abyssinia with a team at the same time and obtaining such a brilliant result made the haze in Adrianx's heart dissipate. He smiled and made an inviting gesture.

Dracos waved his hand and said with a serious expression, "After the Bruti know that we have occupied Ciudad Abyssinia, they will definitely send a large army to recapture it! If they can't, I'm afraid they will build another defensive camp in the west to prevent us from entering Cosenza Plateau! We don't have time to rest now. We must quickly build a defensive fortress in the west before the Bruti attack us. We must stop the enemy from entering Abyssinia and welcome the arrival of Sir Devers's main force! "

Adrianx's heart skipped a beat. This was part of the plan, but he was too proud of his victory. Fortunately, Dracos was still awake!

"Go and get Adepigis!" Adrianx ordered his men to call the Bruti born free man of Diónia to be the troop's guide.

Dracos informed the whole army not to enter the city, but to continue to the north to build the camp.

The soldiers, who were already a little tired, complained, but they still obeyed the order and marched west at a steady pace.

As the representative of the surrendered side of Abyssinia, Bagylipi was also at the front of the welcoming team. Seeing this scene, he could not help but secretly sigh.

At this time, Dracos walked towards him.

Bagylipi had already learned the identity of the person from Adrianx — the Second Legion Commander, Dracos. Having a deeper understanding of Diónia, he knew that the entire Diónia Alliance only had four legions, and each legion had seven to eight thousand people, which was more than twice the total number of soldiers of Abyssinia. Dracos had a lot of troops, and the key was that the lives of himself and his people were under his control. Therefore, Bagylipi had to salute respectfully.
