Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

387 Dionysius in Action

When this amazing statement was thrown, the meeting suddenly exploded, and Demodokas also had a sudden change of expression. He subconsciously shouted: "Aren't Dionia not afraid to attract the army of Syracuse? !"

Frog Leon smiled, and through the screaming of Demodokas, he saw the fear of the chief General Lockley hidden in his heart. This discovery made him proud: "From the establishment of Dionysia to the present, whichever time is not facing a strong enemy, and finally defeating the strong with the weak, only today made the strong Dionysia alliance! We are not afraid of Syracuse, but you, Lockley? Can you not be afraid of the army formed by Dionysia and the Southern Italian Alliance?!"

Demodokas and the others suddenly turned pale...

……………………………

"Sir Flake Leone, look at those ships, and you may rush over and knock us over at any time. What the hell did you do to the Locles, causing them to be so angry?!" The captain of the passenger ship at Ang Lok Lok was half joke and half complained.

"In a few days, you will know." Frog Leone stood on the bow and looked around at the Lockley battleship that guarded his ship in the center, and he smiled boldly: "Relax, Locke The generals here will not let us die here. If there is an accident, we will die here. There must be a statue of you and me in the Hall of Heroes of the Temple of Hades in Turiri!"

……………………………

"Has the damn Dionysian messenger gone?"

"Sir, Dionysia's ship has successfully left the port."

Demodokas exhaled lightly, letting go of something temporarily.

Diopantos beside him shouted: "It's really irritating! The Dionysians came to Locke to show off the threat, and we still have to protect his safety!..."

"Diopantos, you have to understand." Demodokas immediately put on a serious expression and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Whether we have a future war with Dionia or negotiate to resolve this time Conflict, as long as its messenger will not have an accident, there will be room for relaxation in the future. It is important to know that the combined strength of Dionysia and the Southern Italian League is no worse than Syracuse!"

"Our citizens in Lockley are not afraid of fighting!" Diopantos retorted, but his voice seemed weak.

Demodokas was too lazy to pay attention to him again, and turned to Meteorphonis: "You quickly rushed to Syracuse and told the plenipotentiary General Dionysius that Dionysia had framed Lockley to assassinate them The ruling officer declared war on Lockley, hoping that he would send troops to reinforce it, otherwise Lockley would not be able to resist the army of Dionysia and the South Italian Alliance alone!"

In Laos City, Arobmas returned to the mansion with an ugly face. His wife saw it and couldn't help but asked with concern: "Your nephew has given you another problem?!"

Listening to his wife's words, Arobmas didn't get angry and snorted: "Nephew?! He is not my uncle, do you know what new tricks he has played again today? He is going to build a school!"

"School?! What's that?" The lady of Lucalia's origin apparently rarely knew Dionya at ordinary times.

"Oh, you don't understand, it's not a good thing anyway! He actually wanted those poor children to go to school too, it was crazy!" Arobusma thumped his fist on the wooden table in annoyance to vent his heart feel oppressed.

"Not long ago, his teacher came from Turui, didn't he tell him not to mess up! Let him listen to you..." his wife reminded him.

"Listen to what I said?!" Alobmus sneered: "You are not ignorant of your nephew. You have been stubborn since childhood. Now that his father is dead, he is the governor, and no one can control him! ..."

Alobmus said more and more angry: "Go! Go! Give me some slurry, I'm thirsty now!"

After his wife left, Arobmas lay on the couch, remembering to go to Henripolis this morning to discuss political affairs. He proposed the establishment of a school. After his own objection, the nephew who drank some wine was angry. He blurted out: "That won't work! That won't work! Nothing can be done, but also what do you ministers do! Look at our allies, the Dionysian governed Turui so well, I think it might be better to let them Come and manage Laos!..."

Arrobmas was more and more shocked: Henipolis this is a drunken mantra!This child has lived in Turui for six or seven years and is said to have lived in Dave's house. The influence of Dionysia was too heavy!He was going to give away this family business he and his father had desperately earned to outsiders!Could it be that this was the conspiracy of the Dionysian consul..."

As soon as the image of Daphes appeared in his mind, Arobmas felt his scalp tingle, and when he was worried, his confidant slave came in: "Master, someone outside asked to see you, he said he was from Syracuse tie."

"No! No!" Alobmus shouted subconsciously, and suddenly he remembered something: "Wait, you said he was from Syracuse?"

"He said so."

Syracuse...Arobmas murmured, his face uncertain, and finally he said quietly, "You took him to the reception room."

When Arobmas saw the guest, the guest's first words shocked him: "Master Arrobmas, I serve the General Diracius of Syracuse-Lord Dionysius. Order to see you..."

……………………………

"Sir, do you think that the minister of Laos... Will Arobmas promise our request?" Philistos asked.

"Alobomas is in a high position for a long time, and I am afraid that his desire will also grow. How could he watch his rights be taken away by a young man who has never contributed to Laos, according to intelligence analysis Although they are relatives, they are not at all compatible, and there have been many quarrels... In the past, the son of Avignogis, Hernipolis, had the support of Dionysia, he dared not say anything, and now we have our support He, do you think he will have other ideas?" Dionysius said with confidence.

"That is, barbaric talents like Arobmas will be blinded by power, and people with good self-cultivation can maintain peace of mind no matter where they live." Philistos responded with a vague expression of himself Innocence.

Dionysius said with a laugh: "Filly, you are talking about me. Compared with you, my knowledge is far worse."

"Who said? In Syracuse, except for Ferrosanus, count your adults and write your poems well!" Philistos heartily praised: "Besides, you have reached the highest point, no longer Need more desires."

"Philip, it's not easy to sit in this seat!" Dionysius patted his seat, pointed to the top of his head, and said with emotion: "It's as if a sharp one is hanging on the top of the head at any time. The sword may fall at any time..."

"So this position is not for ordinary people to sit on!" Philistos complimented.

"Yeah!" Dionysius took the lead: "I don't know if the Daphne of Dionysia felt the same way..." Dionysius sighed, and his eyes became sharp again. Get up: "Felly, you said something wrong just now, I am not without desire now, but with great desire!"

"You mean Great Greece?" Philistos asked deliberately.

"It's a pity that the young man of Dionia escaped the assassination... He learned well this time, and instead of sending someone to Syracuse, he declared war on Lockley. He thought I would be good to rescue Lockley, He also underestimated me!" Dionysius' murderous words revealed in his cold words.

"My lord, the south of the south of Italy has returned the news. They promised to send troops soon!" Philistos also said with a little excitement. "And the northeast of Dionysian did not object to our proposal. "

"Everything went smoothly. We paid a great price, of course, to get a greater return!" Dionysius's shady gaze stared directly at the void of the main hall, as if overlooking Dionys in the north Ya: "After you go back, immediately set out the preparations for the expedition. Once the war in the north is lit, we will immediately go out!"

…………………………

After the news that “Dionysia declared war on Lokri” spread in Great Greece, the city-states of the South Italian League also declared war on Loki.

For most Dionysian citizens, when they hear this news, they are more excited: they haven't fought in years!

Although the war has been declared against Lockley, there is no tense atmosphere in the Dionysian territory. The rugby finals in Turriy are still in full swing. The Dionysian Senate declared: "Even the war will not affect the Dionysian celebration of Hades, just like the war will temporarily go away at the Olympia Games." This highlights Hadi The importance of Si to Dionysia.

But in Davis’s mind, the main reason why he slowed down the military mobilization was to lead the snake out of the hole, otherwise it was too hard, and it easily crushed Lockley, and the Syracuse reinforcements had not stepped on the land of Great Greece. The true strategic goal of gathering and destroying the Syracuse in Greater Greece cannot be achieved.

Fortunately, news from Sicily during this time showed that Dionysius had begun to convene his army, preparing a large number of ships and carrying weight...

Daphes believes that even without war mobilization, the citizens of Dionia will wash and polish the weapons and equipment in their homes and prepare to fight against the enemy...

But as the proponent of this war, Dionia also needs to set an example for the Confederation of Southern Italians, and Davos still asked the Senate to send to the Fifth and Fourth Legions stationed in the Bruti area and Croton Plain. Convening order.
