Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Crotone mobilized the army to go to the Crimea, and such a big movement was already known to the spies placed by Aristilas at the Crotone dock.

In the early morning of the next day, when the mercenary's messenger rushed to Dave's mansion, Dave had received news of Crotone's reinforcements from Aristilas, and he immediately judged the Timmasong mercenary this time It's a lot of evil.

Therefore, when the mercenary messenger Picoles asked Davers: "Master Davis, the mercenaries led by the leader of Timmasong have captured Crimea, and we hope to join the Dionysian League, and Hope to get an increase in Dionia immediately!"

Davies told this heavy-faced comrade-in-arms who used to be an interpreter in the Mennon Barracks, but later he was his own but chose to leave in Byzantium: "Picoles, you are late, I just got the news, 'At noon yesterday, nearly 10,000 troops from Crotone departed from the port by boat.' They should be able to get to Crimea in the afternoon. I don't think they can hold Crimea in Timazon..."

"Ten thousand people?" Picoles was dumbfounded at the news.

"I have sent someone to inquire about the news and believe that I can get the specifics of Crimea by noon." Davers continued.

"Maybe...maybe Timathon they are still holding on..." Picoles recovered, and begged with luck: "Deverus... the leader looks at the part we used to fight together side by side. , I beg you... I beg you to send an army and rush to Crimea immediately to rescue them!!! Otherwise I will wait until you get the news, I am afraid it will be too late!!!"

Picoles' "leader" made Davers' mood slightly fluctuate, but he still shook his head and said: "Ah... It's not that I want to send troops immediately, it needs the consent of most members of the Senate, and Without definite information, they would not agree! Because if the Crimea recaptured the city, Dionysia’s army entered the Crimea territory, which violated the agreement, which means war! With Crowe Tony's War!!"

Davis's patient explanation was obviously not heard by the anxious Picoles, and he almost yelled: "Anyway, to rescue the brothers, there will definitely be a battle with Crotone! What are you afraid of! You are the only lifelong consul in Dionysia, here you have the final say! Send troops, please, Chief Dapheus! The lives of Timmasong, Kriano, and all our mercenary brothers Waiting for your rescue!!"

Daveus shook his head and felt unclear to him: "You go down to rest first, and I will notify you when there is news." After that, he signaled the slave to take him down.

Pecors pushed it hard and shouted, "Daveus, without the help of Timathon and his brothers, you died in Persia! But look at how you treated your former comrades! We arrived here, not only did not provide any help, but suffered a lot of grievances, and now Tima Song their life is threatened, asking you for help, you did not reach out, but also find a reason, say what you need Approve'..."

Pecors yelled at Davis's ungratefulness, and Davies was very angry when he heard that, he thought: You have claimed to go to Syracuse, in fact, to capture Crimea, and when did I talk frankly with me!Didn't you want to use me and Agassia to let Dionia blame you, but never thought of doing so, how much passive Dionya and yourself are!Now that I failed, I begged myself, but I didn't even have any apology. Who is really ungrateful, do you really think I am so good at talking!

In his current capacity, he didn't need to argue with a simple-minded mercenary. He simply asked the guards to drive Picoles out of the mansion.

There was a lot of noise in the living room, and Christoya came down from the second floor, shyly with Asuna's help, shyly asked: "I heard a quarrel downstairs, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Daveus squeezed a small smile and blamed softly: "You are almost born, not taking a good rest, and walking around."

Christoya stopped asking, and said, covering her bulging stomach: "The kid has been kicking me just now, waking me up."

"Baby, you're good, let your mother take a good rest!" Daveus pressed his face to Kristoa's stomach and said softly.

"Oh, he kicked me again!" Kristoa said in surprise.

"Madam, he must be a boy so naughty!" Azuna said with a smile.

"Naughty little guy!" Daveus patted his stomach and said softly, "Christoya, I will go with you to the yard."

At the moment, he and Christoya both have a happy smile.

Pecors was expelled from the Davos mansion and immediately regretted it.Daves's door was closed and he couldn't knock on it anymore, so he had to go and find them.

Who knows that Felipes, Capps, and Antonios were either hiding or seeing, and they all apologized to Picoles and could not help him.

In the end, Agassia told him: "Due to the fact that mercenaries are making trouble in the alliance during this period, Lord Davers and they have suffered a lot of pressure in the senate, especially this time they have kept Daio away from Timo Song. Niah, hastily attacked Crimea, causing several veterans such as Pollux to directly name Davis at the meeting to criticize Daphes, saying that he used the Dionysian Union for private gains for mercenaries! Lord Firth has faced such severe criticism and humiliation for the first time since he became the governor! Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Daphus to use troops without authorization!"

After listening, Picoles realized that they understood things too simply.

……………………

At noon, Crimea's news came back: the mercenaries were annihilated.

Daveus sat silently, and after a long time, he sighed softly.

This matter seemed to come to an end, but Davers realized that it was far from over.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, a passenger ship from Crotone entered the pier in the city of Turui, and two people got on and off the ship: General Crotone Lucias and Chief General Antao of Crimea Reese.

what does this mean?The elders in charge at the scene all changed their faces slightly.

Two corpses were also carried on the ship: Timmasong and Kriano.

This made Felicius, Agathia and other mercenary veterans sad.

So today’s meeting of the Senate was extremely tense and dignified.

The chief general of Crimea, Anta Oris, made a speech. He wept in tears about the evils committed by the mercenaries in Crimea yesterday and the suffering suffered by the people of Crimea. Then he burst into tears: "Why did the Crimea live in peace for decades, but have recently been looted by war?! Did we inadvertently offend Ares and let him vent his anger on the people of Crimea?!" ..."

Lucias looked around the venue and found that some of Dionysia’s veteran expressions were unnatural, while the front-line Archon Daveus listened attentively, occasionally nodding, a sympathetic expression.With a sneer in his heart, he stood up, walked to the center of the venue, embraced Anta Oris, and saluted the veterans of Dionysia, saying, "The honorable sir and the adults of the Dionysian Federation senate, as The messenger of Rotone, I want to say that yesterday Crotone sent reinforcements in time to save Crimea from being overthrown by a group of robbers! In the interrogation of the captives after the war, we learned that the group of robbers was Mercenaries from Asia Minor, who once fought with Persian Davis and some of the veterans here in Persia for more than a year, they were invited by you to come to Greater Greece, and registered in your alliance to prepare to become Dior Citizens of Nigeria, is this true?!"

"That's right." Daphs nodded admittingly.

Lucias did not expect his answer to be so simple, a little stunned, and then he increased the volume again, and said aloud: "According to the captive confession,'They were instructed by the Dionysian Union to assault Crimea in preparation for the attack. Remisa becomes the alliance of Dionysia—"

"Nonsense!"

"fart!"

"This is framed!"

...

Amintas, Drakos, Agassia and others got up and scolded.

"Whether you admit it or not, the fact is the fact! The bodies of the two robber leaders are still on the pier, and some of you have just shed tears." Lucias said in front of his finger, with a serious expression, shouted: "Dai Onya, you broke the armistice agreement with Crotone, and you want to deny it!"

Anta Oris looked at him, pointing at Daphes, and they scolded: "Since you Gentiles came to Great Greece, there has not been a day of peace in Great Greece! No, it is not that Crimea angered Ares. It is your expansion and aggressiveness that brought war to the various city-states of Greater Greece! The grievances of thousands of dead people in Crimea must be appealed, and Dionysia must be punished!"

There was an uproar in the venue.

Daveus stood up and walked in front of Anta Oris with a sneer, saying, "I would have wanted to express Diona's apology for Crimea, even willing to make some compensation, although Daonia and This matter has nothing to do."

Anta Oris opened his mouth and wanted to refute it, Daphes looked at him and shouted: "Shut up!"

He was shocked.

"But I can see now that the generals of your two city-states are here together, not to clarify the truth, but to join forces to suppress us Dionysia! Say it, and say the conditions you have already prepared Let’s hear how harsh it is!” Daveus saw through their intentions. The anti-guest words made Lucia stunned and reminded the elders who were still confused.
