Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

448 Sublime and Despicable

Although Epithenes were unwilling, they had to obey the orders. Although the soldiers of the Fourth and Fifth Legions were unwilling to do so, they must also obey the military order, and watched their head of the army and their teammates on the city head. Continue to be tied to the ground by kneeling...

Time passes in one minute and one second...

Some captive soldiers lie down on the ground because of lack of strength...

Dracos felt his body dry too much, but he restrained it with the utmost perseverance without saying a word.As the commander of the legion, he understood the sinister intention of the Siracusa people to tie them here, and understood the reason for the lack of movement in the city of Asprostum.In such a dangerous environment, the only thing he can do is to keep quiet and not stimulate the fragile nerves of the brothers in the city, so as not to let them fall into a dangerous situation.Perhaps in the end, the Syracuse people saw that the plan could not succeed, and they could only withdraw obediently...

But Dracos thought the Syracuse people too well. Astaglas saw no movement at the head of the city and was impatient. He glanced at the side of the Campania mercenary leader Endimina Si, said: "Send a man to cut off the head of a captive and see if these Dionysians can still breathe."

Endimens hesitated, and finally agreed.

In the Greek tradition of war history, it is not allowed to kill Greek prisoners in front of the line. Astaglas did not want to contaminate this crime before letting the mercenaries do it. Endimens accepted it because of desire and desire.

The target chosen by the mercenaries was Taturu next to Drakos, in order to stimulate the Dionysians even more.When the mercenary held up the gleaming saber and slashed from the unable to resist Taturu's neck, the blood of his neck splashed on Draco's body, the anger burned again in his weak body.

He understood that the Syracuses had never thought of letting them go.

He finally made up his mind to hear the uncontrollable screams and noises in front of the city wall, the cry of the captive soldier beside him, and the pain in his lungs.

He struggled to straighten his body, exhausted all his energy, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Dionia Winning! Dionia Legion Winning!...cough cough...hold Asprostum, Revenge for me and my brothers in the future! Revenge!!!" After he finished, he tried his last bit of strength, and slammed his head against a sharp stone emerging from the ground in front of his knees.

At that moment, he remembered the picture of Daveus smiling at the Amendallara Square and conferring a flag on him with bandages all over his body: "Master Daveus..." A smile appeared on his face... …

"Boom!..."

Immediately afterwards, many Dionysian captive soldiers also imitated Draco and killed on the ground...

Seeing this tragic scene, Astagras and Endimenas were astonished like mud puppets, and they only recovered after half a ring. They did not expect the Dionysians to be so strong!Especially Drakos, as an important person of Dionysia, did not care about his life, not willing to be humiliated, and died like this...

"Quick! Go and cure them!..." Astarages, who had always fought bravely, shouted in panic, and he was inexplicably scared in his heart.

"Master Commander!" Epithenis, a man who rarely shed tears at the moment, stood in front of Felixius with grief and tears in his face: "Because of our fragility, Draco... Draco heroic Is dead..."

Felix grieved his teeth in guilt, clenched his fists, his gums burst and bleed, he didn't notice it, his voice squeezed out of his mouth, it was such pain, and at the same time it contained endless resentment: " Lacos...Dracos was afraid that we would be fooled by the Syracuses, so he chose...choose to go to the Heroic Ancestral Hall! Hades is on, I swear! I Felixius swears, will defeat Syracuse, take the tyrant and his corpses to worship the heroes of Drakos!!"

Epitenius snorted, and also looked at the Syracuse under the city with infinite resentment, then walked towards the soldiers.

Soon, Hades chants rang throughout the city: "The King of Hell, Lord of Justice,

Black-eyed and black-eyed Hades,

I, a heroic warrior,

Come to your solemn temple,

I have to ask what I have done before?

I like to wield the shield spear and drink the blood of the enemy!

Ask me if I ever tremble and fear?

Never!

Because I want to brag about my record in front of you!

..."

The solemn and magnificent carols echoed over the city of Asprostoum, and finally turned into a deafening sentence: "Head of the Drakos Army, Victory! Long live the Dionysian Army! Kill the Syracuses!!! ..."

The soldiers of Syracuse under the city heard it, and their expressions changed.

Astaglas became disappointed, waved his hands weakly and said, "Go back and report to the adults..."

……………………………………

When Astaglas briefly told Dionysius what happened under the city of Asprostum, there was silence in the big tent.

Now, the Syracuse people occupy the absolute advantage of the entire battle. You can see the dignified expression on the faces of everyone in the big tent, as if the Syracuse people have lost the battle.

Dionysius coughed a few times and said with a deep voice: "Our siege preparations are to be accelerated! I hope to be able to launch an attack on Crotone City the day after tomorrow! Asprostum... well, Stay alert for now."

"Yes, sir!" Fasi Pesas stood up in response, and then immediately turned to the account, hurried to urge the engineers, craftsmen and soldiers to speed up the progress.

At this moment, everyone in the tent seems to have a sense of urgency: The Dionysian Union must be weakened and destroyed as soon as possible, otherwise it will be repulsed by it!

Even the arrogant Fibidas couldn’t move, he couldn’t help thinking of it: the Spartan Aristodmos of decades ago, this brave Spartan citizen as King Leonidas 300 One of the guards failed to participate in the Battle of Onsen Pass because of eye problems. In the battle of Pradia a year later, he took the initiative to rush to the front. The heroic battle died to restore his reputation and was praised by the Chinese...

The respect of Dionysia citizens for their honor, their courage, and their fighting will not seem weaker than us!Fibidas thought in a mixed mood.

…………………………………

This day is destined to be an unforgettable day for the people of the Dionysian Union!

Although the Syracuse people have not yet started to attack the city of Crotone, but the mercenary cavalry has crossed the Neto River, galloping on the Croton Plain belonging to the Dionysian side, one house after another Lit, villages one by one began to be destroyed...

In the northeastern part of Dionysia, the Tarantum with nearly 20,000 soldiers and superior strength are reluctant to confront the Dionysia-Herculia coalition in front of the city of Heraclea. Milas sent some soldiers south to cross the Agri River into Dionysian Amendola’s territory and began wanton destruction, attempting to force Dionysian’s new 7th Army to leave the city of Heraclea.

The first waterwheel in the entire Greek world that the Amendolars were proud of was burned in the flames.

……………………………………

In the Bruty area of ​​the Dionysian Alliance, although Petaru’s rebels were wiped out, Bergam learned a lesson and led more than 2,000 followers who followed him, not with Sironim who came to suppress The battle between Sri Lanka, using the complex terrain of Anbania and the protection of Lake Cechta, has been fighting with the rebel army.In order to stabilize the situation in Bruti, Hilos had to postpone the plan to convene soldiers to form a new corps and support Turui.

On the sea, the Siracusa naval commander Leptinis finally joined the battleships scattered on the east and west coasts of Great Greece at the Silitium, gathered a strong fleet of more than 400 warships, and went north along the east coast of Great Greece. , Preparing to force Dionia’s fleet to come out to fight.

The Crimeans, Castrons, and Turiris all saw this huge fleet that covered the entire sea, and they all began to tremble...

What the Dionyan people do not know is that in the west, in Laos, and the actual leader of his city-state, Arobumas, learned that "Syracuse defeated the South Italian coalition forces and quickly occupied Trina. , Siliting, and conquering Cologne," he moved.

However, the news that "Daveus completely defeated the Samone" soon came, and he hesitated again.

Until the news of "Tarantum's invasion of the League, the rebellion of the Elder Bruti, the advancement of the Syracuse and the invasion of Crotone", Dionysia was threatened on all sides.Arrobmas believes that in such a situation, even if Daphes is even more powerful, it is difficult to lose the game.

But he did not take immediate action. He had to wait until the army led by Davos left Lucania and returned to Turriy, because he did not want to bear the anger of the Dionysians first.

And when the spies told him,'Henipolis led his troops to follow Dionysia's main force and went to Turri together'.He was more relieved, to be honest, he was reluctant to raise his sword and gun to his nephew and those Laos soldiers, and their departure eliminated his psychological obstacles.

On this day, he imprisoned his brother Avinokis's family, summoned the officials and leaders of Laos, and announced: Laos is out of the Dionysian Alliance!

He also sent an army of 1,500 men to the Lahe Fortress, claiming to be: in response to the request of Dionysia’s governor, to reinforce Turui.

Taglu, the team leader of the Lahe Fortress, had been reminded by Davos before, and had already raised his vigilance, insisting that the Laos show the order issued by the Dionysian Senate and the Military Department, otherwise they refused to let Larus Sri Lankan enter!
