Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Tarantum..." Daveus chuckled. Obviously the army, navy, and the annihilated great power of eastern Greece had completely ignored him, although he was greedy for the land of Tarantum. , But now is not the time: "I think... the attack on Tarantum should stop here for now. The main enemy of Dionysia is now Syracuse, as long as it is solved, all the problems will be solved. Now."

"You're right." Trifias nodded and asked again: "Then Metapontum--"

"I will let the Seventh Army stay here temporarily, and go north to recover Metapontum tomorrow. If the Tarantum are smarter, they should flee back to their territory overnight..."

Daphes was clearly confident of recovering Metapontum, and Trifias agreed with this, he immediately said: "We Herculia will also send troops to follow the Seventh Army, hoping to liberate Taran as soon as possible Metapontoum occupied by Thum!"

Daveus frowned slightly, and he heard the deep meaning hidden behind the words of Triphias. It seemed that Triphias was worried that Dionysia would not take away after recovering Metapontoum.Daveus glanced at him and asked faintly: "I heard that Tu de Pres did not die?"

"It seems so, but because Heraclea was also under siege at the time, he did not escape here. I think he would escape to the north?"

north?Galagoso!Daveus thought deeply, and then he said rightly: "In any case, we will find him as soon as possible, let him come back to host Metapuntum's overall situation, so that the war-torn city can resume prosperity as soon as possible! Niah will do its utmost to help Heraclea and Metapontum return to prosperity, because in times of crisis, you have chosen to trust the Dionysian Alliance, and Dionysian should also give back this precious trust!"

Trifias was ashamed of his careful thinking, and he was sincerely convinced by Davis's heart again to thank Davos again.

At this moment, the two legion chiefs came together from a distance, and Daveus quickly ushered forward with a smile on his face: "The hero who created this glorious victory is here!"

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty Dapheus!"

The two stood immediately to salute, and Davos also saluted with a military salute and exclaimed aloud: "Amintas! Matonis! The two of you joined forces to annihilate the army of Tarantum and lift the soldiers north of Dionys Suffering, let us be able to concentrate on dealing with the strong enemy of the South! I thank you both on behalf of the Dionysian Senate!"

Amintas smiled and said, "It's mainly your majesty's credit for your planning that we can play so easily. To be honest, these Tarantums are too easy to fight, I haven't tried hard, they surrendered Now..."

"Yeah, these Tarantums are not as powerful as those at the time... the Tarantum reinforcement led by Aceta. I knew it would be like this, I didn’t have to wait for you to come, I should be independent two days ago. Attacked them." Matonis said with regret.

"Your kid became the commander of the army, and he became arrogant. Based on your incompletely equipped recruits, you dare to say that you attacked the camp of Tarantum!" Amintas pounced on the spot.

"My new legion is a recruit, what's wrong! They dragged down Tarantum's army twice as many as they did, and also defeated them!" Matonis repudiated.

Daveus saw that the two were arguing, but in his mind, he thought: According to his knowledge, Tarantum suffered a great loss of strength after the war with Mesapi, and he faced Heraclia and Metapontum. Rebellion, they were reluctant to learn Dionysia, granted a lot of free citizens citizenship, so that the city-state soldiers were supplemented (Crotone also adopted a similar policy).But the increase in citizens has not strengthened training, but has lowered the military quality of the entire civilian soldier...

Daveus stopped the two from continuing to make noise. He said with relief: "Martonis, I recommended you to be the 7th Army Commander. You didn't make me look wrong! You divided troops in Tarantum and attacked Amendo Under the harsh conditions of Lara, he could still control the army and could not bear it. This is the style of the general, which created the conditions for us to encircle the army of Tarantum this time!..."

Matonis was praised by Daveus, scratching his head a little embarrassedly, in order to understand the embarrassment, he said quickly: "Your Majesty, in this battle, I also caught two big fish!"

"What a big fish?" Daveus could vaguely guess what it was, but he still showed a look of interest in coordination.

"Brothers, bring them up!" Matonis waved his hand forward imposingly.

For a moment, the soldiers pushed up two captives with their hands tied back.

"We haven't seen the two Tarantum consuls for a long time." Daveus said half-sarcastically and half-sighed.

Diomelas lowered his head and said nothing.

Yomakas looked up at Daphes and said earnestly: "Master Daphes, I beg you to be kind to these Tarantums you have captured!"

"I will." Daveus said lightly: "As long as the old man of Tarantum can pay the price."

Diomeras suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Daveus, you ungrateful little man, don't forget how Tarantum helped the weak you selflessly!"

Daveus's eyes suddenly became sharper, and he said in a cold voice: "Of course I did not forget, nor did the Dionysians! For this reason, when Tarantum was attacked by Mesapi-Puchetti Allied Forces, In the precarious time, Dionysia had other military plans, but he did not hesitate to accept your request for help. He immediately dispatched an army, repulsed the Mep Allied Forces, and saved Tarantum! But you did not appreciate Dai In the following time, the blood and sacrifices of the citizens of Onia provoked the people of Dionynia on the sea many times, crashed into our fishing boats, captured our fishermen, even in the city of Tarantum Spreading rumors that are detrimental to the Dionysian Union. I heard that you also sold my statues specifically for people to pee at home... These dirty tricks are based on the fact that you helped us, Dionysian Everyone can bear it, but—"

Daveus's eyes were like electricity, and he screamed loudly: "You should never deserve it. When our Dionysia was invaded by foreign enemies and faced difficulties, Tarantum, as an alliance, tore up the covenant and became Dai. The accomplice of the enemy of Niah, led the army, wielded the shield spear and slayed the killer at the allies who once fought alongside you!——"

"That's because you, as an ally, first broke the covenant and robbed Metapontum and Heraklia, the two allies that once belonged to Tarantum!" Diomelas shouted unwillingly.

"Whether you believe it or not, we have never had any secret contact with Dionysia beforehand. Joining the Dionysia Union is the wish of all citizens of Heraclea because Tarantum has always Laklia is a dog, and we don’t want to be a dog anymore. It’s that simple. I think Metapontum also chose to leave the Tarantum Alliance because of this..." Get busy and explain.

Diomelas stared at Triphias with a dizzying eye: "Do you think I will believe the words of a traitor!"

Daveus sneered: "Yes, it doesn't make sense to tell you at this time. Dionysia's principle is always,'Treat friends sincerely, treat enemies fiercely.' Especially traitors, it is not easy Let it go! Based on the situation of Tarantum City at this time, even if I no longer send troops, what will the Mesapi people who know the defeat of Tarantum's army do? Turui was once burned by the fire, Tarantum How can the city be destroyed by a hundred-year-old enemy?! I am very interested..."

Diomilas and Euma Karston looked pale.

Diomeras also threatened with a stern word: "Tarantum is... a son of Sparta! Sparta will not let Tarantum be bullied by other city-states!"

"Sparta?!" Daveus didn't even blink his eyelids and sneered: "Do you think Sparta still has the power to help Tarantum! The war on the Peloponnese peninsula, I heard that it was enough for the Spartans to have a headache. They also asked Syracuse for assistance..."

"Daveus, don't be proud! The army of Syracuse is coming! I'm also looking forward to... looking forward to the day when Turri is destroyed again!" Diomelas was fortunate enough to take it out and shouted viciously. .

"You can't see that day. As long as I'm here, Syracuse's army can no longer enter Dionysian territory. Dionysius not only spit out what he won, but also loses Drop more!" Dafus finished confidently, waved his hand, and several soldiers stepped forward to take the two of them down.

Yomakas reluctantly begged: "Master Daveus, Tarantum did make a mistake this time! But please think about Archita! Think Archita!--"

"Shut up, Yomakas! You are embarrassing Tarantum!"

"You should shut up, damn greasy waraholic (the olive oil produced by the Diomelas)! If it weren't for you, how could Tarantum fall to this point today..."

The quarrel between the two became silent as the soldiers went away...

………………………………

In the large military account of the Siracusa camp, Dionysius was discussing with the generals the upcoming siege.

In the morning, the Clippers sent back by the Syracuse navy told Dionysius an amazing news: Dionys’s governor Daveus returned to Turi, and was also elected by the Dionysian people as king!

Daveus repelled the Samoan with more than 40,000 fierce warriors so quickly?!Diolius was shocked and felt the urgency of time again: Syracuse must capture Crotone as soon as possible before Daveus led the main force to rescue, so as to take the initiative of the entire battle situation, so this was the reason An urgent meeting.
