Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

500 Dionysius's fierceness

"And--" Eleandos hesitated, and hesitated.

"What else?!" Henripolis asked angrily.

"Some people have come from the town hall, claiming that their loved ones have not betrayed you, but were killed by the mob, and hope you can redress them..." Eliandos said.

"Injustice?" Henipolis grabbed his hair irritably. He was most afraid of hearing it now, so he said in a burden: "This matter is left to you to handle, and there is the matter of allocating land to the poor. You Start preparing."

Elianders was dumbfounded, and then shouted, "My lord, I have never done this, I will not!"

"You won't. You can find someone." Hernipolis's words had just been spoken, and he was suddenly stunned: Looking for someone?Where can I find it?Almost all the officials in Laos city were killed by the mob. I am afraid that few people with administrative experience can be found in the city.

Henripolis sat down: Do you want to do these things yourself?However, from the time he was in office, he has always given orders, and most of them have not been executed. He has not really dealt with political affairs, and he does not know where to start.And he always hates the complicated and complicated government affairs, and he has a headache...

I think of the bills, city-state affairs, letters, etc. piled up in the Dafus study room when I lived in the Dauris Mansion in Turriy. When Dafus returned home, he spent most of his time doing business... …Hernipolis suddenly felt: Maybe he is really not suitable to be a consul!

Just when the two of them were squinting and wondering how to proceed, Hilos walked into the synagogue: "Master Henripolis, the situation in the city has calmed down now, I would like to ask when can we prepare ships for us? Now wear Lord Firth must be anxiously waiting for news of our actions?!"

Oh, this thing!Hernipolis was in a trance on this day, forgetting this important thing, and he immediately looked at Eliandos: "Go to the port immediately to prepare the ship and transport Dionysia's troops to Knape Tia."

Ariandos shouted with embarrassment: "Sir, now the port is in chaos, the sailors are all coming to the city, the port's management staff was either killed or hid, where to go to find someone Prepare so many ships?"

Hernipolis froze again, and he looked at Silos helplessly.

Silos didn't expect this to be the case and seemed anxious.

Henipolis looked at him apologetically, and he was still familiar with Silos, because Silos had entered and exited the Great Dave’s mansion many times, and suddenly a flash of light flashed through his mind: "Master Sirlos, I remember You have served as the city chief twice."

Silos did not know what he meant by saying this, and nodded truthfully.

"There is also Lord Bakul, who is still the chief executive of Grumentum." Henipolis said more and more excited: "You see that the order is now in chaos in Laos, most of the officials are mob Killed, the entire city is no longer functioning properly. I would like to ask you to help me manage this city and let Laos return to normal as soon as possible, so that you can also go to Krapekia smoothly."

After finishing Henripolis, both of them thought they had heard it wrong.

"Master Johnpolis, aren't you kidding me?" Hilos blurted out.

"Now that I am in such a bad situation, am I in a mood to joke with you?" Henripolis said impatiently: "Do you want to go by boat? Otherwise, you can only lead the team by land!"

It takes more than two days to cross the entire Cosenza plateau by road to Knapetiya.Laos will return to normal operation. If it is efficient, it may take tomorrow to set sail. It seems that it takes about the same time, but Hilos is no longer a mercenary who only led the war. After several years of administrative management, He was sensitively aware of the significance of taking over the administration of Laos: "I will go back to the barracks and discuss with Lord Bakul." Helos finished and hurried away.

"Sir, it doesn't seem very good to do this." Eliandos vaguely felt something wrong.

"What's wrong?" Hernipolis immediately retorted: "If you feel bad, or you will leave all these things to you."

Ariandos was speechless in embarrassment.

Hernipolis smiled, his eyes brightened even more, because he had thought of a brilliant idea that would allow him to escape the city that had become a quagmire and was full of hatred against him.

……………………………………

It was almost noon. Dionysius stood in the broken Crotone city and withdrew his gaze to the north. He said coldly: "It seems that the young man of Dionysia had no intention of accepting the war scripture. , Fight against us."

"What should I do? Master, shall we take the initiative to attack them?" Astaglas asked anxiously: "Crossing the Neto River and attacking Dionysia's camp?"

Dionysius glared at the reckless general and said coldly: "Stupid, that's what the Dionyans hoped for! Crotone was defeated by the hurried crossing of the river at first. For its Dionysia, do you think I will be so stupid!"

Astaglas dare not speak, he felt that Dionysius was in a bad mood now.

"Fasi Pesas, how long can our current grain reserves last?" Dionysius asked again.

"Counting the food obtained from Crotone, it can last for more than a month."

More than a month!With the Dionyan fleet in control of the East Coast and no longer able to receive assistance from Sicily, they could only harvest food from Lockley and these conquered city-states, but how much could it be?!Dionysius thought anxiously, and glanced at the slightly anxious generals and ministers beside him, and finally fell into the huge city with hundreds of years of history behind him, suddenly said: "Burn here !Burn the inner city of Crotone!"

"what?!"

"Destroy Crotone's walls and burn the city!" Dionysius gave a cold-hearted order: "Then all the troops stationed here will be withdrawn to the original camp!"

Although relatively simple tents, whether general Siracusa or soldiers are more willing to live in comfortable houses, Dionysius has made a decision, and no one dares to object.

"Master, what about those in Crotone? The Acropolis is so high, we can't burn them!" Fasi Pesas reminded.

"Leave them alone and let them go for help. Isn't Dionysia their ally? Isn't that young man claiming to keep his promise! I want to see if the Dionyans can save its allies!" Dioni Hughes looked cold: "But as long as the Crotonians dare to escape from the Acropolis in large numbers, they will be driven back."

"Understood!" Fasi Pesas and other generals really understood this time: This is to force the Dionysians to cross the river to rescue Crotone!

Crotone City is burning in the fire...

This is another Greek city that was burned down four years later in Great Greece, but for the Syracuse, they have done this more than once.Many of the cities that were captured by them in Sicily were destroyed by them. Dionysius is known as the "protector of Sicily". In fact, it destroyed many historic city-states, including Greek cities, which This kind of destruction ability is not weaker than its opponent Carthage, so the Syracuse soldiers skillfully placed firelighters everywhere in the city of Crotone, and soon the whole city ignited a fire.

The blazing fire blazed the sky in Crotone. The people in the Acropolis saw their homes burning in the fire, and wept bitterly.It didn't take long for the grief on the people's faces to turn into panic, because the fire spread and there was a tendency to encircle the Acropolis.

Fortunately, Lucias and Milon had prepared in advance, and had already sent people to venture out of the city to cut down the trees and weeds around the hillside.Although the fire did not burn the Acropolis, the scorching air and billowing smoke caused tremendous trouble to the tens of thousands of people in the Acropolis. They not only felt extremely hot but also had difficulty breathing.

However, there are not many water sources in the Acropolis. Milon wanted to make the people tolerate, but many frail elderly and women had syncope, and finally had to agree: let everyone get wet by the pool , Apply it to your face to get through the difficulties.

After the protective measures were completed, the water in the pool was used up more than half. Some people gathered in the temple and prayed prayerfully to the statue of Apollo, hoping that it would protect them from this disaster. The gods confessed because they believed that it was Melanius who burned Apollo’s blessed Turriy that would have today’s retribution!

Lucias looked at the burning city under the mountain in a trance, and his heart was full of concerns about the safety of the people in the Acropolis. He knew that without water, everyone could not persist for a few days.

"Lucias." Miron came from a distance, and strangely, there was a trace of lightness on his face at this moment: "Don't worry, the Syracuse people retreated and then burned the city again. There must be something special. This is happening. I guess... it may be that Dionysia's reinforcements arrived, and the Syracuse people did this to fight Dionysia with all their strength!"

"Is that what you said is true?" Lucias immediately rejuvenated and asked aloud.

"Dionysia's reinforcements are here, which is very possible!" Milon firmly believed in his judgment: "A few days ago, did we not have received the news that the Dionyan fleet defeated the Siracusa navy, no more? With the help of the navy, Syracuse has lost the opportunity to threaten the rear of Dionia, and Dionysia defeated the invading Tarantum army. They have no worries now and can send troops to come to reinforce. "
