Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Cheers!!!" All the guests in the restaurant drank the delightful wine.

"In addition, the Senate issued a notice--" The patrol members looked around and solemnly said: "Freemen who have participated in the Dionysia military training can immediately register at Victory Square, and the Ministry of Military Affairs will call for 2,000 freemen to go Bisinia, assist the legion in combat—"

"Why didn't you say it early! Only two thousand places, I'm afraid it will be robbed in a moment!"

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" The restaurant complained suddenly. After a while, most of the diners in the house had run out.

Dick Polis and Tios looked at each other.

………………………

At this moment in the Victory Square, it is crowded.

The household registration department must first confirm that the free people who applied for registration are indeed registered in the past.The court staff then investigates the file and confirms that he had no record of violations of law and discipline while living in Dionia.Then, the training camp officers of the Ministry of Military Affairs select the free men who are physically strong, young, and have performed seriously in the past.After these are passed, they will be confirmed by the household registration department again, and will be noted and signed on their files. This is to reduce the time for them to become citizens in the future.

After this set of procedures came down, there were hundreds of Union public officials present alone, and all kinds of archives became hills. In order to prevent accidents, even thousands of Legion Reserve soldiers were mobilized to maintain order.

In fact, there are more than 10,000 freemen who come to the square, but they are basically able to obey the order, not because they are afraid of the soldiers who are watching, but because they know that it does not matter if they are not elected this time. There is no lack of opportunities for merit. For example, the temple that Amendola is building lacks labor and is also calling for free people; the construction of Crimea-Asprostoum Avenue is also calling for free people... For large-scale construction work like this, the Alliance only provides three meals a day, and the salary is very small, but it can also help free people to achieve their desire to become a citizen of Dionysia as soon as possible.

However, if the free people disturb the Union’s public order and violate Dionysia’s laws, it will become very difficult to become a Dionysia citizen and even be expelled from Dionysia, so even if they are not selected, At most, these freemen swear and swear, not daring to have any excessive behavior.If someone thinks that there is unfairness in the selection process, they can also appeal to the notary office established by the Supervision Department on the other side of the square and ask for a review.

Standing outside the Great Hall of the Senate and looking at the scene of the Victory Square ahead, Felixius suddenly said: "Actually, I think it is still sending soldiers of the Legion Reserve to Bisinia to assist the Second Corps in comparison. Well, they have undergone rigorous training and are not far behind legionnaires. They are more combative and obey orders than these freemen."

Next, Mariji asked: "You sent all the civic soldiers, and Turiri was empty, in case of an enemy attack or a major disturbance, what should we do?"

Felixius said in a moment of hesitation, hesitantly said: "Turii is not a city of its own alliance or an alliance, where is the sneak attack?"

"We can sneak attack on Bisinia, why is it impossible for others to attack Turui?" Mariji is quibbling, in fact, what he thinks in his heart is that: besides being good at military, Felixius is a political person. moron.Lord Davos led the army outside, and the family had to be guarded by the army. Now the members of the senate are more complicated than before, and in the event of a mess, they can be suppressed immediately.

At this point, Mercis and Mariji were standing on the same trench, but his explanation came from another angle.

"Send a reserve team?" he screamed loudly: "It's so easy to speak! Felixius, you have to know how much thought Daveus and I spent to prepare military supplies for this war! Not only the treasury The silver coins have been used up, and huge debts have been owed to the citizens, but this can only provide four legions to fight for four months. The reserve food of a reserve soldier is the same as the legion soldiers. The food rations of catty grains and two salted fish, and the food rations of these free people are much simpler, as long as they are barely full. Felixus, use his brain, don’t know that you don’t know about fighting in the war all day long. I think you all have to starve to death!"

Mercis and Felicius are old acquaintances, and Felicius understands the character of this fat man.

And behind them, Antaoris was still shocked by the news of the victory he heard in the morning.

"Anta Oris, don't you mean that Bisinha has a geographical advantage and it is almost impossible to be captured, but how can the ruling lord take it so quickly?" Euripus asked doubtfully. .

"I don't know, the messenger who came back to report did not tell us in detail the process of capturing Bisinia." Anta Oris's mind still showed the thrilling picture when he walked the Linhe Trail. He said helplessly: "Bisinia does have natural dangers, and it is difficult to be overcome, but who made our ruler, Lord Hades's vassal, with the blessing of Pluto, maybe no matter how difficult it is, he can't stop him. Wait for him You can ask him in detail if you return after victory."

"It seems that the ruling lord is commanding the citizens to fight. It is indeed very powerful. Euripps, we might as well apply to him and join the army of Dionysia." Plerads suggested Road.

"I have long inquired. The unique regiment system created by the consul-general is very different from the ordinary city-state military system. Every promotion of military positions is strictly evaluated, even like you and me. The elders of the veteran hospital, but they are completely unfamiliar with the tactics of the Dionysian Corps and the use of the formation. They must start training from the boot camp again..." Eurips was quite angry when he said this.Think of him as a nobleman in Crimea, and now a veteran of the Dionysian Academy, with a distinguished status.According to Felicius, a mercenary from the Ministry of Military Affairs, it really makes sense to train with those poor freemen.

"Training and training, are we better than those free people!" Pulhades did not care.

Listening to the two arguing, Antaoris felt a little emotion: It seems that he not only accepted the fact that he became a citizen of Dionysia, but also Pulhades and Euripps.Think about it too, although I have been the chief general of Crimea for a few years, a small Bruti tribe downhill and plundering can make myself and the city-state people's minds, and in Dionysian, sit In the senate, the chat room can determine the life and death of the entire Bruti race!It’s really an old saying, “The higher you stand, the more scenery you see, and you’re used to delicious food. Naturally, you can’t look at crusty bread.”

On the other side of the platform, Kunogolata and Cornelius are talking about another issue.

"Occupy Bisinia, it seems that our time to conquer Bruti will come soon!" Cornelius also watched Dionysia from weak to strong in the past two years, or could not help but live. sigh.

Kunogolata's consideration is more profound: "After defeating the Brutus, how to deal with them is also a big problem!"

Cornelius thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Should the Brutians be governed in the same way as the Lucanians!

Kunogolata pondered for a while, and said, "The Bruty and Lucanians are still different..." He said this, he stopped his words and shook his head again: the war finally came to an end To what degree?What agreement will be signed?It’s still unpredictable, and it’s too early to think about it now.However, if the Bruti region is conquered, Turui will be completely safe from now on!

…………………………

On the island of Modia in Sicily, the war continues in the same way day after day.The Motites are all soldiers, and despite the heavy casualties, they have not yielded.The Syracuse's offensive progressed little by little. Although it paid a great price, it still failed to occupy the whole city.

Over time, Dionysius became more and more anxious. He even executed the two guards beside him for very small reasons.

Finally, he realized that it was not a good idea to attack Motia. After accepting the proposal of the former mercenary leader Marcias, he decided to organize a death squad and quietly climbed into the area defended by the Motia in the dark.

Fortunately, his adventure was successful.The death squad opened the city gate, and put a large group of people in Syracuse into the city. After a short and fierce battle, the resistance of the Motias was finally crushed.

At this moment, the Greek soldiers did not want to snatch the loot at all. The previous fighting killed and wounded too many comrades, they only wanted revenge, and they were not There were a lot of generals called Hannibal at different times, and this one is also famous. He is the patriarch of the Margonide family). The atrocity in Himmela is still fresh in his memory, and he decided to treat the Carthaginians. The Greek cities were as cruel and merciless, and the Holocaust began.

After a day of massacre, Dionysius finally stopped this behavior, not because of his kindness, but because he believed that the dead had no captive value, so the victors turned the fun of slaughter to robbery, they will All valuable things in this Carthage city were looted, and all captives were sold as slaves.

Dionysius left a team of men standing in this empty city full of corpses, and left another team of men to continue to siege Segsta. He led the army to return to Syracuse.At this time, the Carthage forces in Sicily left several seaside cities in the northwest corner, such as Eriks, Solus, Panomus, etc. It was not that he did not want to completely remove the remaining Carthage on Sicily It was because he had almost finished the military supplies he had prepared for the army, and it was already October. Winter was coming soon. He decided to return to the city to spend the winter first, and then to solve the problem of Segerstad next spring.

The fall of Motia was a great honor for Dionysius, a great victory that the Greek city-state had never had in the history of Sicily.However, for the Carthaginians, it was the biggest blow. After losing Motia, the city of Carthage on the mainland of Africa will face the Greek forces of Sicily, and its security is seriously threatened.
