Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Although Oliver is not a veteran, he has an active personality and is good at making friends. During the period of Amendolara, he had contact with Protsilaus, and the two were still familiar.This time when the war was about to strike, the two met even more cordially.

"Welcome to you, Captain Olivers! The arrival of you and the officers and men made our people all over the city feel at ease!" Prote Silos said sincerely.

"Sir Protsilaus, the Sixth Legion was ordered to defend Crimisa this time, and you have to rely on your full support to jointly resist the abominable Syracuses!" Olivers said sincerely.

"Fully supporting you in defending Crimea is now the most important task for me and my subordinates. Tonight, I prepared a banquet for you in the mansion. We chat while eating and meet the officials of Crimea..." Seeing Oliver's mild attitude, Tesilaus relaxed in his heart. After all, he was the first time he cooperated with the army.

"It's not necessary for the banquet, because the military law has regulations, I can't violate it. However, I'm willing to discuss with you in detail how to defend Crimea..." Oliver said while looking at the city of Crimea in front of him.For the first time since the Second Crotone War, he came to this city on the southern border of Dionia.It seems that Scombrus and Protsilaus have not been idle during their tenure of office in these years. The city walls have not only thickened, but also increased by at least two meters (in the beginning, mainly to guard against Crotonenes ).

"I have placed your camp on the square. The supply of the Sixth Army should be supplied by the Turrii Military Department, but the Crimea City Hall will try its best to provide you with some fresh meat, fish and vegetables. ...To improve your diet..." Prote Silaos introduced Oliver to some preparations made by Crimisa while leading Oliver into the city.

Oliver listened attentively, and he could see that Protsilaus had made sufficient preparations for the entry of the Sixth Army, and he was satisfied with it.

But as soon as he passed the city gate, he heard a loud noise in front of him.

"You can't let these soldiers enter the city, they will only bring war! Bring death!"

"Turiyi get out! The Crimea people don't welcome you, get out!"

"You executioners, return the lives of our loved ones!"

...

When Oliver heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he turned his head and asked, "Master Protsilaus, what's going on?"

Protsilaus also changed greatly, and was preparing to explain.

At this time, the captain of the first brigade who first entered the city hurriedly hurriedly said, "Master Legion, there are a lot of Crimea people in front of them jammed in the streets, preventing us from entering the city!"

"It's these guys again!" Protéslaus sighed with annoyance and said, "Before, the case of Pollux and the assassination of Lord Davers involved a lot of Crimea. Some citizens have been severely punished by the Union. Since Syracuse invaded Great Greece and defeated the Allied Forces in the Siri Chamber, some of the citizens’ families have protested in front of the city hall in the past two days, demanding the release of their loved ones... ...But I didn't expect...they dare to stop the army from entering the city!"

Compared to Protsilaus's worries, Olivers, who has been fighting for many years, was much more decisive and vigilant, and reminded Protsiluos loudly: "We should immediately send troops to arrest these people!"

"How can this be! They are all the people of Crimea!" Protsilaus shook his head again and again.

"At the moment when the alliance is facing a crisis, they dare to block the army from entering the city. This is a betrayal and must be severely punished! And at this time this kind of thing happens, I suspect that there must be an enemy's command! Crimea is about to face The attack of the Syracuse army, if there is still such a chaos in the city, it will bring us disaster! So I suggest to carry out military management of the Crimea city!"

"Military management?!" Teacher Plotsy looked at Oliver in surprise.

Oliver said with a serious face: "If not strictly controlled, when the Siracusa army arrives, these sloppy and hostile Crimea people may open the city gate quietly while we are not paying attention, and greet them to come in and let us Have become the slaves of Dionysius!"

This reminded Protsilaus of the tragic days when he was imprisoned by the Lucanians in Amendolara. He couldn't help but shivered, and hesitantly said: "Ok... okay, but Hope not to hurt the people of Crimea..."

With the consent of Protsilaus, Olivers immediately issued an order, and the first brigade quickly surrounded these troubled Crimeans, no matter how they cried, and detained them.

The Sixth Army was able to enter the city smoothly.

Soon, the City Hall issued a notice: the military control of the whole city, the port and the city gate are forbidden to enter and leave, and called on residents outside the city to temporarily move to the city in response to the upcoming war.

…………………………………

The emergency on the northeastern border of Dionysia not only shocked the people of Amendola, but also aroused the vigilance of the Turiris: the footsteps of the war are approaching the core area of ​​Dionysia, awakening them to a few years ago The painful memories of the war destroying their homes, now more enemies and stronger enemies are committed, Dionysia seems to be able to defend but not counterattack. Such aggrieved situation makes the Dionyan people begin to worry, they are looking forward to ruling While the official Daphus returned early, the "oracle" about Hades became more and more rooted in the hearts of the people.

On this night, Dave’s intelligence officer Aristilas’ house in the East City (ie, near the pier in the city, near the Grand Arena area of ​​Dionia, which is the famous entertainment area in the city of Turui) hurried. Knock on the door.

The alert Aristilas got up in his cloak before the slave rushed to open the door.

The person who came was Tratus. As soon as he saw Aristilas, he hurriedly said, "Adult, our people saw the veterans Petaru, Kadulke, and Burgam of the Senate. In the evening, they followed the entourage quietly out of town!"

Aristiras was surprised, Shen Sheng asked, "Did the city guards stop you?"

"The sheriff Matonis went to Heraclea, and the other party was a veteran, and he went out from the east, west, and north gates, which did not cause much doubt. There is no one to support the city guards, how dare to block!" Latus said helplessly.

After Daveus led the army to leave, as the war continued and worsened, Dionysia's current political structure exposed many ills.

Although the Senate once suggested that “the martial law should be enforced during the war to prevent accidents”, it was not passed because some people believed that such an approach would interfere too much with citizens’ freedom. There is no need to make the atmosphere so tense.

Although the Polyx case gave Davos more powers for the Ombudsman to strengthen the management of the elders, and at the same time through the "establishment of security officers" to carry out bottom-up supervision, but this is still just the beginning Implementation.Even if some elders do not have real power, their status is very lofty. Once Daves is not there, how dare people dare to control.

Aristilas did not think so much. He was nervous because: after the assassination, Daves invested more money and manpower in the intelligence department he was responsible for, demanding that all The city strengthens monitoring.After the discovery of the war, he asked his men to cooperate with the sheriffs of various cities to ensure the stability of the city and prevent accidents.

The three elders of Bruty, Petalu, Kadulke and Burgam, had complained about some of Dionysia’s bills some time ago. They were also involved in the case of Polyxis and supported Polyxis’s proposal. Although nothing happened in the end, Aristilas also paid close attention to them.

During the period after the outbreak of the war, the three had met in private several times, which made Aristillas even more vigilant. Unfortunately, at the critical time, Tarantum’s sudden alliance destruction and invasion led to Matonis’s Leaving makes Aristilas caught off guard. After all, the intelligence department he leads is only a private organization of Davos, without any public power, and it is impossible to prevent the noble veteran Dionia from leaving...

Thinking of this, Aristilas further asked: "Are you sure they are going to the Bruti area?"

The only luck in his mind was soon smashed by Tratus' words: "The people I sent saw them cross the Bisinian wooden bridge one after another."

But Tratus's next words made him a little more relaxed: "But after they left the city, I immediately sent someone to ride to the city of Bisinia. Once he confirmed Petaru's route, he would Immediately ride to Cosenza and go to inform Siros."

Aristilas did not care about the self-assertion of his powerful subordinate. What he cared about was whether this long-distance report could succeed.Although Turri has built avenues to Bisinia and then to Cosenza, riding horses in the dark and racing between plateaus and mountains is definitely a dangerous move.

"Who are you sending?" Aristilas asked with concern.

"Adpiggis."

"Oh, that smart guy." Aristilas relaxed slightly.

After being insulted as "Bruti and Greek hybrid" Adpigis accompanied Anta Oris to Cosenza, and as one of the guides, followed the Dionysian army to conquer Bru. In addition, his identity and his ability in these two operations led Aristilas to find him. In the following years, he built the Bruti intelligence network, stifled the rebellion and stabilized the Bruti region. He has made great achievements in many aspects, and was promoted to intelligence officer in the Bruti area by Davis.
