This was one of the main reasons for the rebellion of Bergam and Petaru: the Ionian court was prevalent in Bruti, which nullified the authority of the tribal leaders and could lead to the eventual disintegration of the tribe.

The temples of Cosenza are not only the temples of Hades and Hera, but also the temples of the primordial goddess of Brutus, Brutus, the protector of the Bruti tribe, and Hercules, the god of Hercules. Whenever the chief executive celebrates, whether he believes in it or not, he has to pay homage to these temples as a sign of respect, which is also a strict rule made by the Senate to the chief executives in various places, for example, there is also a temple of Asinu, the god of Lucania mountain, in Grummentum.

There was a training camp outside the city of Cosenza, and the duties of the military department in the inner city were mainly to inspect and register the people who could fight in the various tribes, to check their weapons and equipment, to inform and supervise the participation of the Brutis in the roster, and to verify and count the merits of the tribesmen, and to cooperate with the town hall to give them rewards, such as land.

This department also has to carry out some secret tasks, such as learning about the growth of the power of the tribes, secretly encouraging the tribes to stand on their own feet, etc., which is another important reason for Petaru's criticism.

The outer city was originally the area where the great leader of Cosenza, Pianlun, forcibly relocated the small tribes of Bruti to live, and after Dionya took over, he divided the areas under the jurisdiction and settlement of these small tribes in the outer periphery of the city, as a barrier to protect the outer perimeter of Cosenza, and at the same time to isolate the harassment of night beasts, such as wolves, to the city, bringing peace to the city of Cosenza.

Now the outer city is home to the largest cattle market in the whole of Greater Greece, and not only the merchants of the Alliance, but also the Cyridines, Trinas, and Crotone will come here to buy them. The prices of Bruti horses and other livestock are a bit cheaper than in the big market in Turii.

There is also an arena in the outer city, where rugby, football, and horse races are often held, and the Brutis are no less fanatical than the Turiyi, who can vent their usually repressed wildness on and off the field.

There is also a theater outside the city. Originally, the interest of the Brutis in it was much weaker than that of the arena, and for a period of time, it was even sparse. Those who dared to open a theater in Cosenza were shrewd, and they soon found that the Brutis were not interested in the irony, humor, wisdom and human destiny of Greek play, but in the stories of the Greek gods, especially Hercules, a powerful god who used his courage and wisdom to defeat powerful enemies and harvest countless beauties when he was a mortal. You know, in the legend of the Brutis, they claim to be the descendants of Hercules. As a result, the theater owners began to stage a large number of adaptations of the Greek gods, cultivating a large number of fans of the drama with plain language and ups and downs, and also allowing the Brutis to begin to understand Greek culture and traditions.

There are also schools in the outer city. When it was first established, it was as unpopular as the theatre, but now it is quite popular because of the increase in the number of independent Brutis. Cosenza allowed the Brutis who had broken away from the tribe to live in the outer cities, and the cost of buying land was low, and it was allowed to live in and rent later, with repayment periods of up to ten years. As a result, as more and more people broke away from the tribe, most of them chose to live in Cosenza because it was the center of the Bruti region and it was so lively. The increase in the population of Cosenza, in turn, has contributed to the prosperity of the city, and after the independent Brutis have opened their eyes, it is natural for them to go to school to learn and improve in order to better develop themselves and their children.

Now the outer town of Cosenza is almost full of people from Bruti, and the hotels and restaurants are full of customers every day, and the governor of Cosenza even proposed to the Senate that the outer city of Cosenza should continue to be expanded.

Somewhat different from the expansion of the city of Turiyi, the expansion of the city of Cosenza meant that the more population of the city hall had under the direct control of the city, the more stable the Bruti area would be. Be sure that half of the soldiers of the Fifth Legion came from various tribes, and the other half came entirely from the Brutis, who were under the direct control of Cosenza.

This is another major reason why Bergam, Petaru, and Kadurk rebelled. The tribe is like water to the tribe, the water source is abundant, and the tribe's farmland can be harvested, and Dionya is secretly pumping the water away, and the farmland can only die, how can Petaru sit still!

Kadurk dared to sneak back to Cosenza because the Dionian Senate had moved the tribes out of Cosenza, so he didn't have to risk being inspected by the guards to enter the city.

The tribe of Kadurk is located on the banks of the Klatty River, a short distance from the city of Cosenza.

It was a land of fertile water and grass, and it was Davers's reward for Kadurk's timely anyway. Because of the peace and unity of the Buruti area, there were no fences on the periphery of the tribal settlements, and no people stood guard at night, only hounds crawled outside the huts, vigilant for wild beasts to take away cattle and sheep.

Kadurk came back several times a year, but the hounds scattered tonight were barely visible, which made Kadurk breathe a sigh of relief and some surprise.

He led his men and walked lightly around the grass huts and walked to the large courtyard in the center.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ……”

"Who?"

"Open the door, the big boss is back!"

"Who?"

"Open the door, it's me! Kadurk! ”

Perhaps hearing a familiar voice, the people in the courtyard opened the door a crack, looked out with an oil lamp, and hurriedly opened the wooden door.

"Great Chief, why did you come back at this time?!"

Kadurk didn't answer, and went straight inside.

When his men entered, they hurriedly closed the door and stood around the courtyard, looking around vigilantly.

"What about Vitotiru?" As soon as Kadurk's voice fell, he heard a surprise voice from the front: "Great Chief, you are back!" Why don't you give me a word in advance, I'll send someone to meet you!" ”

Vitotiru walked out of the living room quickly, a look of surprise on his face.

Immediately, the brazier in the center of the hall was lit, and the whole courtyard began to light.

Kadurk frowned, because the excited Vitotiru shouted a little loudly: "Be quiet! Go and call Daru, Gilion, and Korak, I have important matters to discuss with you!" Kadurk said in a deep voice. Although he had to reside in Turiyi, serve as the head of the Senate, and attend every meeting, in order not to lose control of the tribe far away in Cosenza, he appointed the noble, mild-mannered and uncourageous Vitotiru as the head of the tribe, in charge of ordinary affairs, and appointed three clan leaders loyal to him to assist Vitotiru in the management of the tribe, and important matters were decided by the four of them. In fact, it was often difficult for the four of them to reach an agreement, and in the end they all had to send someone to Turii to ask him to make the final decision, so in the past few years, although he was far away in Turii, the power of the tribe has never been sidelined.

"What are you going to tell them to do at such a late hour?" Vitotiru was both puzzled and a little reluctant.

"Call it! Why do you ask so much! Kadurk was getting impatient.

"Tariq, you go and call all three of them." Vitotiru's reluctant opponent gave the order.

"Yes!" His men immediately carried oil lamps and were about to go out.

"You go with him." Kadurk pointed to one of his entourage, still on his toes.

The two opened the door and went out, and Kadurk led Vitotiru into the council chamber.

"Big Chief, what the hell is going on?" Vitotiru asked, confused.

Kadurk glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "We must lead our people out of here before tomorrow morning!" ”

"Why?!" Vitotiru was taken aback.

"Because the Syracuse people are coming, the Ionian League is almost finished! For the survival of our tribe, we must hurry to the Syracuse people! Kadurk tried to put on a serious look, but his tone was a little exaggerated.

“…… We...... We're going to defect to Dionia......" Vitotiru's expression changed dramatically, and he trembled a little when he spoke.

"What a defection!" Kadurk was immediately furious: "This is Bruti, where our ancestors have lived for generations!" The Dionicians forcibly occupied this place by force and took away our freedom! Now we have to break free from Dionia's control, and when Syracuse defeats Dionya once and for all, we will take this land back!" Kadurk shook his fist and said hatefully. The oppressive life in Turiyi in the past few years has made him angry. At this moment, the light of the brazier's beating fire reflected on his face, which was distorted by anger, and looked a little hideous and terrifying.

"Defection is defection, and the maximum penalty for this under the laws of Dionya is the death penalty!" A voice rang out abruptly at the side door at the back of the chamber, and the firelight cast a figure on the wall.

When Kadurk heard this, his heart was shocked, and he subconsciously looked at Vitotiru, a short and fat old man who had opened up a distance from Kadur with unprecedented swiftness.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen figures poured out of the side room, and the firelight reflected on the face of the person in the front, and it was Shiros.

"Run, there's an ambush!" Kadurk was startled and immediately turned and ran back, shouting a shout to his men.

However, the gate of the courtyard was also pushed open at this time, and heavily armed soldiers rushed in.

"Take them all!" Shilos ordered coldly.

Soon, Kadurk and his entourage were captured.

"Shiros...... I...... I rushed back to deal with the tribe's urgent business. You have led men into my tribe's council chamber for no reason, wounded my men, and bound me...... Fast...... Loosen it for me! Otherwise, I'm going to ask ...... Accuse your sins to the Senate! And also...... Alarm my people, and let them see that you treat their leader like this, it will surely cause a commotion, and in the event of a great commotion, the office of administrator of Cosenza, which you have just arrived, will probably be withdrawn by the Senate! Let go of me and let's have a good talk. Kadurk was tied behind his back, pressed to the ground, and threatened with stubble.

"If you have any grievances, wait until you are escorted back to the Senate to appeal." Shilos didn't want to say much to him at all, turned to Vitokru and said seriously: "I will report your merits to the Senate, but now your priority is to stabilize the entire tribe, and there can be no turmoil, I will send someone to help you stabilize the situation." The Senate will also pay attention to your performance and decide whether to let you succeed this traitor as the Senate Senate, so work hard. ”
