Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Mathias?!Daphes remembers that Ancítanos told him,'Macias was the leader of the mercenaries in Campania, and later became an important general under Dionysius.'

"Is there evidence?" Daveus asked further.

"No, he came to Turui empty-handed. The hotel he stayed in and the dagger capital were prepared by a man named Auroras, but he only knew the name, he didn’t know what Aurorus looked like, What is it..." Matonis said seriously: "Now I am sending someone to the hotel where he lives, hoping to get some information about Aurora."

After listening, Daphes asked, "What about that woman?"

"No one has come to inspect and say that she knows her..." Matonis was frustrated.

"Martonis, how long has it been since the assassination, and you have made great progress!" Daveus comforted him, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes: "Whether she is a Turi or from other people In the city, since she can participate in the celebration, she has traces to follow, and the dagger she holds is very similar to the dagger that the man took. She is also poisoned, and she has nothing to do with Syracuse!"

Daveus sneered and ordered him to say: "Mathonis, you go to Aristilas immediately, he will help you find out the truth as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir." Matonis turned away.

At this time, Kunogolata was worried and tentatively said: "Master Daves, are you going to declare war on Syracuse? Although the assassin said that Syracuse instructed him to do it, he did not Confirmed, and—"

Daveus, who always respected him, interrupted the old man unkindly: "I would like to ask Master Kunogolata, if they really succeeded in assassinating me this time, what will happen to Dionia?"

Kunogolata froze for a moment, and after thinking about it, he had to say truthfully: "Will... there will be turbulence..." More than turmoil, I am afraid that a civil war will happen soon.The three major races in the Greek, Lucanian, and Bruti alliances will inevitably clash; the qualifications and prestige of several major legions are equal, and none of them can deter all legions, but the veteran’s courtyard is dominated by civilians. Go on... Kunogolata was more and more startled.

"Then what will happen to our Southern Italian Alliance?" Daveus stared at his face and continued to guide him to think down: The Southern Italian Alliance is a large Greek city-state alliance dominated by Dionysia. Its strength far exceeds that of other city-states and has become the mainstay of maintaining this alliance. Once the Dionysian Union is turbulent and its strength is weakened, Crotone and Lijim may jump out to compete for power. The strength of the two sides is not much different. , In the end, it may be that no one is convinced, which leads to the Confederation of Southern Italy becoming fictitious, not to mention that Crotone may also retaliate against the Silitine and Trina who betrayed it. Nyah declared war, with revenge and hatred, and the South-Italian League completely fell apart...

"We all know that Syracuse and Carthage have signed a peace agreement, but we still don't see Syracuse dismissing mercenary troops, but instead buying grain and building ships...What is this for? Is it to help Sri Lanka? Bada defeated Thebes?"

Davos’s question was to ask Kunogolata’s heart: indeed, Dionysius had long been ambitious towards Great Greece. If the Dionysian Union was turbulent, the South Italian League would become a mess of sand, Syracuse. With its far superior strength to the various Greek city-states and alliances, it can easily achieve its purpose...

Daveus stared at the old man in front of him, and tiny sweat beads quietly emerged from his white temples. As the three-term retired chief of the Turii chief, Dionia, Turii can have today's prosperity. Kuno Gorata is indispensable, but his biggest shortcoming is the fear of war.

"Admiral Kunogolata, you should know me. I will not rush into Syracuse without sufficient preparation, but it is time for us to take action, otherwise let Syracuse go This evil wolf is lurking around Dionia, coveting our land, and disrupting our alliance order at any time. This is a terrible thing!"

After listening to the sincere words of Daves, Kunogolata, after a long thought, finally changed his mind and said, "Master Davis, what do you ask me to do?"

Dave's face was bright: "I hope that you will support my proposal to mobilize Dionysian citizens to prepare for a war with Syracuse" during the emergency meeting of the Senate."

Just "preparation"?Kunogolata didn't dare to believe his ears. Just now he saw Davis's menacing look, and thought he would soon start a war with Syracuse.

"Of course more than that, we also support Li Jim's establishment of a colonial city on Sicily..." Daveus looked at Kunogolata and said one by one: "I still need you to tell other elders at the venue The "truth" of the assassin incidents investigated-that is, the assassin was a Roque, sent at the request of Syracuse!"

Kunogolata's eyes widened and he was surprised: "Master Davis, you want--"

"Yes, I want to aim the offensive target at Lockley!" Daveus said with a slightly stubborn face and firm words: "Dionysius and Lockley are allied to make Lockley a Thira. Kuzia invaded a springboard of Great Greece, and the existence of Lockley prevented us from condensing into a whole. This time, we took advantage of this great opportunity to declare war on Lockrey. If Syracuse came to rescue, in the Great In the land of Greece, facing the army of our Southern Italian Alliance, I think our chances of winning will be high! If it does not come, we will just conquer this city-state that betrays Great Greece!"

Although I have agreed in my heart that the war between Dionia and Syracuse is inevitable, Kunogolata is more willing to deal with Lockrie than facing the powerful Syracuse.When the Dionysian city-state alliance was first established, Lockley was also a strong gang in their hearts and in Greater Greece, but at this time the Dionysians were not worth mentioning.Moreover, Davers can think of such a strategy, which shows that he has not been stunned by anger, so Kunogolata began to actively devise and suggest: "It was just this celebration that the generals and parliamentarians of the various cities of the South Italian League all Received invitations, like the Atelier Cruz of Lijim, the Lucias of Crotone, the Cypros of Trina, the Pretinis of Silitin, and the Phorne of Cologne. Lord Liniris... All of them are in Turriy. They must have heard of this amazing event today. We can just put the meeting of the South Italian League in Siriting in Turrii. I believe it is easy. You can reach an agreement!"

"I believe they are waiting for the Senate to send someone to contact them, so our Senate meeting must end as soon as possible," Daveus reminded.

"I get it." Kunogolata nodded, and when he left Davers House, he walked a little heavy, because he knew that after today, the Dionysian Union, which had been peaceful for more than three years, might open the door to war again. .

……………………………

The meeting of the Dionysian House of Elders, the veterans are more concerned about the safety of Davos, especially the veterans of the former mercenaries, the veterans of Lucania, the veterans of Amendolara and some veterans of Bruti All expressed their concerns.

Therefore, when Kunogolata informed everyone of the "truth", the elders were indignant, and Davis's proposal to "declare war against Lockley" was easily passed.

Although, militant parties like Amintas did not disappoint directly to the culprit, Syracuse, to declare a strategy.Despite surprises such as Cornelius and Ancitanos, Syracuse didn't come forward, but put Lockry in front, but he was temporarily relieved.

The senate finally decided to send a messenger, and asked Rocky with rigorous demands.

……………………………

Daveus, who had returned home, had no time to rest, and he immediately promptly invited his father-in-law, Atelier Cruz.

"I'm relieved to see you all right!" Artili Cruz said happily when he saw him, which made Davers feel a little warm.

Then Ateli Cruz shouted again: "Syracuse! It must have been sent by Syracuse, right? I said it long ago--"

Daphus interrupted him and said decisively: "The Senate of Dionynia decided to give full support to Lijim to build a colonial city in Sicily, but also hope that you can obey the previous words and hand over Lijim's fleet to Dioni Yalai unified command!"

"This is really good news. But, with the fleet handed over to you, can Dionia guarantee the safety of Lijim's coast and trade routes?" Atili Cruz now became reluctant again.

"I think the Syracuse people have no time to bully Lijim, because Dionia will send a messenger to question Lockley,'Why shoot me assassin to assassinate me?'" Daveus said amazingly.

Artili Cruz looked surprised: "Why...how could it be Lockley?"

"Because Dionysia and the Confederation of Southern Italy need to wage war against Lockley!" Davers said decisively.

Artili Cruz was still surprised, but he had already understood Davos's intentions. He shook his hand, held the armrest of the wooden chair, and slowly sat down: "You... you want... no! you are Want to lead the Syracuses to Greater Greece..."

"Yes, concentrating our southern Italian city-state forces on the land of Greater Greece to fight the Syracuse, I think the victory is more assured! Father, I need Li Jim’s full support before I can meet at the Southern Italian League. To persuade other city-states." Daveus rarely uttered the word "father", showing how much he expected from this plan.
