Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The three looked at each other.

Zantiparis comforted him and said, "Agarcia, you did nothing wrong! We are very grateful that you rescued us from the battlefield of death in Asia Minor! As long as we stay patiently in the alliance, we believe that we will eventually gain citizenship and The land is just a bit uncomfortable now. As for Sparta, you have to believe me and Timmasong, at least for three or four years, they cannot have any hostile behavior against the alliance!"

The Greeks like to drink wine to drink water, thinking that it is not easy to get drunk and make stupid moves, but tonight Agacia did not drink beer, all drink wine without water, and finally drunk.

Timmasong took him back home with great effort.

When they came out, the three men sighed.

Kriano pouted, saying, "He regrets calling us to come to Great Greece, is he not going to help us anymore?!"

"Agacia is not this kind of person!" Zantiparis shook his head: "I think he has been under too much pressure recently and wants to drink and relax. However, we should really restrain those who do not listen to advice!"

The two argued for a while, but when they looked back, they saw Timmasong bow his head and walk slowly, thinking about something.

"Tima Song, what do you think?! We should go back to the pier!" Kriano shouted.

Tima Song looked at them and said slowly, "I still remember Davos used to love saying,'It's better to rely on others than yourself!'"

Fibidas arrived in Syracuse and was welcomed by Dionysius. He invited Fibidas and his entourage to his palace, set up a banquet, and accompanied him personally.

Seeing the tempting dance of the beautiful female slaves in the middle of the banquet hall, Fibidas, who had exercised strong self-control in the military camp since childhood, also felt dry. He even poured several sips of wine.

I heard that Laishande lived in the Asia-Asian city-states under his control comparable to the princes of the East. It should be like this!Fibidas thought to himself.

"Pididas, I heard that you went to Dionysia, is it done?" Dionysius asked casually, with the Spartan warship in the Gulf of Taranto. After a turn, someone had already spread the news to Syracuse.

"Yes, but it was not successful." Fibida Stein said, with a bit of appreciation in his tone: "The Archon of the Dionysian Union and the elders of the Senate are very tough, even when facing us Spartan, Also refused to give in at all!"

"Oh!" Dionysius said slightly surprised: "Sounds you have a good impression of them?"

"Although the contact time is not long, they can feel that they admire war and victory, respect capable generals and warriors, and train very frequently, which is similar to our Spartans!" Fibidas does not mean his own Praise: "And this new alliance is developing very quickly. I heard that it was only a small city-state more than half a year ago. Now it has three cities and two affiliated allies. I believe that it will not take long for it to become the dominant Greek. A powerful force!"

After hearing this, Dionysius squeezed a smile: "This is a good thing, at least the indigenous people of Great Greece have met their opponents." That being said, the glass he had originally picked up "Bang" put down, the wine Splashing on the table case, he immediately turned his conversation to the army he was about to attack Carthage.

Fibidas looked in his eyes, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

…………………………

Returning to Sparta's route, Dorothy, who had been holding back for a long time, asked: "Fibidas, why did you praise Dionia at the banquet?"

"My compliments will make Dionysius sleepless!" Fibidas smiled smugly: "Since Syracuse's former tyrant, Gron, Siracusa is regarded as Sicilian and great The ally of Greece. I remember the old man saying that Gron even sent his army north to Campania in central Apennines to defeat the Etruscans who besieged Kumay...and Dionysius had greater ambitions He used force to turn all Greek city-states in southeastern Sicily into a subsidiary of Syracuse. Will he allow a great force to appear in Great Greece to threaten the status of Syracuse?...Unfortunately he will immediately If you want to attack Carthage, you will not be able to take action against Dionia in the short term..."

"Oh, that's it!" Dorobissis suddenly realized, but he immediately asked again: "Since Dionysius is interested in Greater Greece, then Ionia may not be as good as Lijim and Crotone. The weight in his heart."

"Yes." Fibidas admits this: "Dionia is not as powerful as these traditional big Greek powers, but its development rate will also cause the strong desire of the Sicilian to be vigilant. ."

Dorobissis recalled the spectacular scene he had seen when he was invited by Dionysius to review his army, and he exclaimed involuntarily: "Speaking of Dionysius is really powerful, he can actually send five or six The army of 10,000 people, there are two or three thousand cavalry to attack Carthage!"

"Although there are many people, I don't see many soldiers who are really good at fighting!" Pidbidas half said the facts, and half of them came from the sour grape psychology, because even Sparta, who has become a Greek hegemon, cannot be sent at once With such a large army, the strength of Syracuse and its affiliated city-states can be imagined.

Let Syracuse, Carthage, and Dionia kill each other!Piddas cursed in his heart.

………………………

Entering the new year (398 BC), Turíi-Castron Avenue has been completely built, and the few kilograms of Rotoni captives of Dioria have returned because the six-month period has expired Crotone.

For Davers, his mood is getting more and more tense and exciting, because Kristoya's stomach is moving more and more, less than a month before the expected date.

At this time, news came from Niutum that Potentia officially announced support for Akpiru's son Lusau to recapture Grumentum and asked Cincinnati to return to Picos, otherwise Potenti The Asian general will send troops to the war.

Cincinnati suddenly became nervous. He took the initiative to send envoys to the Grumentum tribes occupying the South City, expressing his willingness to immediately implement their previous request, as long as they can reunite and jointly deal with the upcoming Potenti Army of Asia.

Cincinnati’s softness made these tribal leaders very happy, and they were afraid that Lusau would recapture Grumentum and would ask them to settle the accounts, because they knew that Lusau, like his father, was a must-pay person. .

Everyone thinks this way: the external pressure forced the two forces in Grummentum to compromise and come back together.However, when the leaders came to the center of the city to prepare for peace talks with Cincinnati, they did not expect Cincinnati to ambush a large number of soldiers in advance.

The tribe in Nancheng was killed and neglected by the leader. As a result, the Picoxis warriors suffered heavy casualties under the premeditated attack. Some surrendered and some escaped from the city of Grumentum.

In the face of Potentia’s military threat, Cincinnati unified Grummentum in one fell swoop.Upon hearing this news, even Daveus had to admire Cincinnati's decisiveness and fierceness, but he did not know that Cincinnati could do so, mostly because of the painful memory learned by the Vegs from behind .

And soon, Sesta sent a report to the Senate, saying that because of the Cincinnati killing in Grummentum, some Lukalias fled to Niutum, plus Picosi Sri Lanka and Potentia are about to go to war. The small tribes sandwiched between the two forces are afraid to be involved in the war. They have also fled south, causing the number of reserve citizens registered in Niutum to increase to 8,000.Nyutum has neither sufficient land allocation nor the ability to support such a large population, and requested that some Lukalias be relocated to Turiri.

Davos and the veterans had repeated discussions, especially during this time Niutum was stable and the Lukanians performed well, which led to the final agreement: agree to relocate.

Fibidas returned to Sparta, and his report by Dionysian did not attract the attention of the Council of Elders.One of the reasons is that he has always acted on his own, and made the Spartan elders who knew him a bit disgusted by his repeated emphasis that "The Dionysian Union does not respect Sparta and is unreasonable and must be punished." He caused such a trouble by himself.The more important reason is that the elders do not have the energy to deal with this little thing now, because one of the Spartan kings, Akis, passed away.

From the time of Homer, Sparta has practiced a double-king rule. The king, who is said to be a direct descendant of Hercules, originated from two hereditary royal families: one is the Ajidai family in the center of Sparta. , One is the Ulypontiides family from southern Laconia.Achilles was born in the Unilip Pontides family.Although in this era, due to the rise of democracy, the Spartan kingship has been greatly restricted, but still enjoys many honors, especially when he died, the entire Spartan territory is preparing for the funeral of Achilles: The cavalry ran around Laconia, announcing the news of the death of King Akis; the women beat the iron pot and reported around the city of Sparta; after learning the news, each family and each household had to produce two free men, one male and one male Women wear mourning clothes to keep their filial piety; the Pisias must also send a fixed number of people to attend the funeral organized by the Council of Elders.

The funeral lasted for ten days. During these ten days, public affairs could not be handled, and after ten days, the elder’s first task was to elect a new king.
