Chapter 6- An Application and Some Unrest
Right after we took over Naissos, the leader of another tribe, Tauronos, of the Carduci tribe, who dwells in the town of Singidunum, asked Oroles per Drobeta if he could join us. We graciously accepted, without any doubt. He had but one request.
“We want a limited amount of autonomy. Other than that, we will serve the confederation well.” We agreed.
But soon, he was killed in battle with some dissenters who didn't agree with what he had done.
Soon Oroles per Drobeta calmed the region down and allowed the people to elect their own client ruler, with our approval. So they chose a man named Duda, who, after we looked into his background, was found to be a trustworthy and honorable man. So we accepted him, and he became the client ruler of Singidunum.
After all of this, we constructed barracks that would allow us to train the Cordinau Orca, or the Scordisci Elite Infantry.
These soldiers were the epitome of the idea of good infantry. They could handle anything that came their way, even Elite Thracians, which is very hard to do. Our Vasil was sure to utilize them well.
