Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

When Arobmas realized that there was something wrong with the situation in the city, these rumors had spread throughout the city, and there was a meaning out of the words: the original consul was a good man, and Arrobmas wanted to be The civilians of Laos have become tyrants of slavery!

Arrobmas leaps and thunders. He urges his men to immediately arrest those who spread the rumors, and let the matter calm down as soon as possible.

But at this moment, the news came that "the Chief Executive of the Vig City, Salou, led the army to march to Laos", and at the same time, the Chief Executive of Grumentum, Bakul, led the Lukania region. The newly recruited 3000 reserve soldiers also arrived in Niutum.

Arob Marston was nervous.

……………………………

On the third day after the sea battle in Taranto, the Spartan messenger Krithorpes sailed into the bay of Taranto.

Before leaving, Kelithops had a serious understanding of the situation in the Great Greek War. He knew that the Syracuse navy had blocked the entire Gulf of Taranto, which prevented the Dionysian League sails from entering the sea, so he also had a good encounter. The preparation of the Syracuse patrol ship, but he did not expect that he encountered a Dionysian patrol ship. The patrol ship's sails were painted with the "exaggerated black hair winding double-stranded" pattern, which impressed him .

At this time, the Dionysian patrol ship has not been modified with a cargo ship or a fifty-slurry express ship, but a top-level warship in the true Greek city-state-three-layer slurry.

The patrol ship intercepted the Kleethorpes’s ship, asked for the intention and whereabouts, ignored the Krythorps’ protests, and went onboard to search for it to confirm whether there were more armed personnel or arms.

At this time, Kirithops asked aloud: "When I passed here a few days ago, I also saw a lot of Siracusa warships cruising in the bay. Where did they go?"

Kelithops asked a little rudely. The captain on the side squeezed his sweat nervously. The captain of the Dionysian patrol ship who boarded the ship looked at Kelithops coldly, if not for his Spartan messenger. His identity was long cursed, and he sneered a few times: "Where did he go? Where else can he go! He either fell into the sea to feed the fish, or was detained in Turui!"

Hearing this, Kerry Thorps was always steady, his eyes widened in surprise: "You defeated the navy in Syracuse?!"

"It looks like you don't believe it yet." The captain stood on the side of the ship, spitting into the sea and proudly said: "Two days ago, our King Daveus led us to defeat by a lot, and defeated completely. In the navy of Syracuse, their defeated soldiers fled back to the Silitium, but it won’t be long before we will wipe them out! By then, this sea of ​​sea will belong to us Dionysians!"

Kleethorpes was shocked. He didn't expect that on his way to leave Sparta by boat, a naval battle happened enough to change the situation of the Great Greek War!At the same time, he also noticed another thing that surprised him: "You just said that Daveus became king?!"

The captain immediately fell to his face: "Be careful, Spartans! The name you mentioned is the king of the Dionysian Union, the son of Hades, the great Greek general who has won the battle, and the Dionysian people. Protector, please give enough respect and awe, otherwise we will detain your boat, you will not enjoy the treatment of the messenger, but enter the Turui as a criminal!"

Hearing the threat from the Dionysians, if it was Fibidas who had been violently thunderous, but Kleethorpes was stable enough, he no longer spoke, but his heart seemed to set off a storm, tumbling...

On the route to Turui, Kirithorpes and the crew and sailors served by the Pisias still expressed difficulty in accepting the news that the "Dionyan Fleet defeated the Siracusa Navy" ( There is only one profession for Spartan citizens-warriors, so the sailor of the Gulf of Laconia is also served by the Pisias who are not Spartan citizens. The Spartans will not allow the black robes As a sailor, because this means unpredictable danger), but when approaching Turriy, they were surprised to see the numerous three-layer paddle warships densely covered the sea, it seems to be practicing the formation, shouting, trumpet Zisheng enveloped the entire sea...

Everyone on Kerry Thorps and the passenger ship was shocked by the spectacular sight in front of them, and similar questions arose in everyone's mind: are these three-tier paddle warships belonging to Dionysia?Didn't they just end the battle with the Syracuse Navy, how could there be so many warships?Do they also receive assistance from the Persians?...

This is the fact.The Dionyan fleet originally had about 150 three-layer paddle warships, and later captured more than 150 warships in Syracuse, followed by the capture of 35 three-layer pulps in Tarantum. The Nigerian Navy now has more than 330 three-tier paddle warships.

These two days, Seckrian was worried.He had to arrange for the boatman to repair the damaged warships. At the same time, because there were so many warships added, Turui did not have so many sailors to equip. There were no ships alone, and no more ships could come in handy. After racking his brain, he finally thought of a way to recruit sailors.

At this time, the crisis of Heraclea had been lifted, Metapontoum was also recovered, and Castellon once again firmed up his confidence in following Dionysia. After Secolian received permission from Daphes, he sent someone to Recruiting sailors from these three allies quickly made more than 60 warships operational.

However, these newly recruited sailors had no experience in driving three-tier paddle warships after all, so Sekelian has been busy training the expanded fleet for the past two days, due to the secret weapon of the Dionysian Fleet-Crow Suspension Bridge in the naval battle Already exposed, he did not need to hide anymore, but let the entire fleet appear in the bay.

Therefore, they were curious that they saw a long "wooden board" erected on the front mast of many ships in the Dionysian fleet.

It seems that Dionia really defeated the Navy of Syracuse!Kirithorpes looked solemnly at the Dionysian warships on the sea, thinking about the impact of this important news on his envoy Turi.

After repeated considerations, he found that this victory increased the possibility of a truce between Dionia and Syracuse, which made him rejuvenated.

The Spartan passenger ship entered the Krati estuary and was ordered to disembark at the port.This is because, since the construction of the Tului military port on the banks of the Krati River, the pier in the city of Turii has been closed for confidentiality, and no ships are allowed to pass through the military port and reach the city of Turii.

If Grisops visited Turiri port a few days ago, he would be surprised by the excitement of the port today, because the previous blockade of the Syracuse navy at sea made Turiri port very depressed. There were no commercial ships coming, no commercial ships leaving, and a large number of freemen who depended on the port to survive had nothing to do. Most of them were later recruited to the fleet as sailors, to the logistics and transportation department of the military department to serve as labor, and to the agricultural department to be assigned. Helping the families of citizens who lacked field labor because of the owner’s expedition, the port not only lacked merchant ships, but even the labor was almost exhausted, and the entire port seemed to have been abolished.Even after the victory of the naval warfare, in consideration of the upcoming military operation against Syracuse, for the sake of confidentiality, Davos considered repeatedly, regardless of Mariji’s opposition, and insisted on continuing to block the port until the war with Syracuse again. At the time.

Only today, a cargo ship re-entered the port, a large amount of labor rushed from the military department entered the dock, and a bag of grain was unloaded from the cargo ship. These grains were Castron and Herakli The three allies of Asia and Metapuntum have made unpaid assistance actions after they heard the news that "Dionysian food is tight and the people are called to raise money".

Krithorpes experienced the Peloponnesian War, the Asia Minor War, and the current Corinthian War. He knows the war is very damaging to trade, not to mention that the port of Turriy was still blocked before, but did not Thinking of today's busy scene in the port of Turiri, he was surprised to ask the Turiri officials who rushed to meet him.

After learning the truth, Kelithops was a little surprised: Did the Dionysian allies support the disadvantaged Dionya so much, only because of a victory in a naval battle?

Walking out of the port and through some empty markets, Krithorpes and the carriages of several entourages were about to drive onto the avenue.

Here, Kleethorpes and his entourage saw a spectacular sight: the road and both sides of the road have been occupied by countless Dionysian people, old and young, male and female, all holding wooden boxes , Or carrying a parcel, or holding a pack of beasts, full of property, marching towards the city of Tuliyi...

Kleethorpes was very curious and asked the driver.

"That's when the people of Amendola went to Victory Square to donate their belongings, so that our coalition has the ability to carry this war to the end and defeat those evil Syracuses! We Turians already donated yesterday . I heard that the Bruti people are also donating, but not at Victory Square in Turri, but at Cosenza..."

Watching the proud look of the driver, and then seeing the people on the road talking and laughing, it seems that they are not going to abandon their belongings, but to attend an important rally... This makes Kirithops involuntarily think In response to the scene of the Spartan people sending off their loved ones on the battlefield, the words of farewell at the time of farewell began to reverberate in their hearts: either they will return with victory or be carried back by the shield!

How similar the situation is now!The Dionysians not only did not fear war, but also had the determination to carry it to the end!But without the historical accumulation of hundreds of years of Sparta, this city-state alliance was established less than six years ago!Kirithorpes felt a chill. He wondered whether he was worried about his envoy, or whether he was unreasonably worried about the army of Syracuse who clearly had an advantage...
