Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Since Dionysius wants peace talks, what are the conditions he gave?" Daveus asked calmly, as if the words that Damocles had said before had never happened, but let Da Mocris felt the pressure.

He stooped and said, "Master Dionysius’ proposal is,'Siracusa's army returns to Sicily, returning all occupied Greek lands and towns, as well as captives. But the Confederation of Southern Italy must also make a guarantee, No war with the Lockley League..."

"What?" Henipolis finished listening, unable to hold back, and shouted loudly again: "Are you a fool! We killed so many Dionysians and sent Crimea and Asp The territories outside Rustum turned into ruins, provoking civil unrest in the area of ​​Bruti... Now that you are defeated and trapped in the Silitium, we are just about to count this blood debt with you , But you want to escape back to Sicily smoothly through a peace talk, not so easy!"

This time, Damocles didn't turn a blind eye. He looked at Daphes and said seriously: "The peace talks are not the final decision of our Syracuse side, you can also put forward your terms."

Daveus pondered for a while and said slowly: "You will come again tomorrow. I need to think about this matter seriously, and I have to discuss with Trina and Siriting."

When Damocles listened, and then looked at the tangled expression on Davis's face, he immediately rejoiced: It seems that this time the peace talks are really hopeful!

After Damocles left, Hernipolis finally couldn't hold back and asked with a surprised expression: "Your Majesty, you... do you really want to talk to the Syracuses?!"

"Do you think it's possible!" The calm look on Davers' face suddenly became sharper.

"But you just...just now--"Hernipolis seemed to realize something.

"The emissaries of Syracuse just reminded me that even if we wiped out the enemies here, Syracuse might still piece together a large army and continue to fight against us, so—" Daveus glanced. Looking at the lively camp in front of the camp, the tone said firmly: "Our eyes can't just stare at Great Greece, there is a good saying,'Wolf is not dead, but wounded by wolf.' We must try our best to fight thoroughly Die this evil wolf in Syracuse!"

Hernipolis was excited: "Your Majesty, are you going to attack Sicily?!"

Daveus nodded, considering that this young man would be his own confidant in the future, he revealed a tone of voice: "Aristiras's men have already been active in Sicily. With the victory of this battle, we need to add A force—"

At this time, Tolmed came to the news with a happy face: "His Majesty, Secrian sent a messenger, his fleet landed on the coast of Heberian with 5,000 Ligim soldiers, and has surrounded Heberni Ancheng!"

Davos had heard Silos talk about Seckrian’s plan before, but he was not surprised. He touched his jaw, pondered for a while, and then issued the order: "Tolmed, you go to Silos, Antonios, Greek Ronimus called."

"Yes." Tolmed turned away.

"Herni, I dictate, you record, write a letter."

"Okay." This was Henripolis's first job as a clerk, and he answered excitedly.The big account was not built at the moment. He looked around. He quickly found a wooden board, cut a side of papyrus and lay down on the grass. He asked, "Who is the letter to?"

"Admiral Atelier Cruz, the chief general of Lijim."

"Oh." Henripolis rolled his eyes, knowing that he was Davis's father-in-law.

…………………………………

Soon, several generals arrived.

Daveus did not talk to them much, but said straightforwardly: "Time is urgent! Lijim's army landed on the Seclian warship and surrounded the city of Hebrian. The garrison of Medema is likely to go north. Rescue, I ask you to lead your troops to Hibernian immediately, repel the reinforcements in Lockley, and seize the city of Hibernian. I will send you an additional siege camp."

Daveus said, glancing across the faces of the generals he trusted, and finally landed on Hilos: attacking Kraos, marching to Trina, and decisively heading north to intercept the Siracusa army The return of... The series of military actions taken by the independent leader of Hilos during this period surprised Daveus.

Therefore, he said slowly: "This time the operation will be Hilos as the general, you must all obey his orders!"

When Lydes heard this, there was no objection. The cavalry had always been attached to the infantry. There were few independent military operations. The siege and attack on the city of Siriting. The cavalry had no place to use. It was enough for him to rejoice. Yes.

Hironimos frowned and said nothing.I thought that when he was in Persia, he was a mercenary general. Hilos was only a small captain. His qualifications were much larger than that of Hilos. Now he has to listen to the command of Hilos. It is impossible to have no idea in his heart. However, as long as this man can be valued by the commander and there is a place to show his talents, his desire for power and profit is not great.What's more, in the past few years in Greater Greece, Hilos' performance has been obvious to all, whether it is military or political affairs, he admires him.

Antonios felt uncomfortable.After all, Hilos was still his subordinate in the past, but now he has to listen to the command of Hilos, and his heart is very awkward.What's more, he thought that his ability was not lost to Hilos, and led even the most powerful first legion of Dionia. If the proud soldiers heard about this, it would be upset.

Thinking of this, he was preparing to speak.

Silos has said first: "Your Majesty, I think Lord Anton Rios is more suitable as the commander of this military operation. He is not only experienced, but the first legion under his control is also the most reliable force in this operation! Being a commander can make all the brothers who are in battle willing to obey the command!"

Antonios glanced at him, then turned his head to look at Daveus.

Daveus smiled slightly, and after several years of training, Silos became even more euphemistic.

Daveus shook his head: "Antonius cannot serve as the commander of the attack on Hepburn. The first legion he leads has more important tasks to perform!"

Antonios listened to the doubts in his mind: Is there anything more important than attacking Siriting and attacking Lockley?!

"General Shironimus and the commander of the Ledes Army, you two assisted Silos to repel the Lokiers and win Hebrian as soon as possible!" Dafus clenched his fists and waved hard: "Then Push Medema further and take it if there is a chance, so that the Lokis have no place on the west coast of Great Greece!"

Xeronimus and Ledes immediately expressed their willingness to obey the command of Hilos.

"It was just my suggestion just now, and the specific actions have to be flexibly formulated by you according to the situation on the battlefield. You don't need to ask me for advice. I believe that the results you get will exceed my expectations." Daveus inspired three people, then He said to Hilos again: "This time going to Hibnian involves cooperation with the Lijim army. You have to deal with their relationship."

"I will, Your Majesty." Silos nodded cautiously.

"But you don't have to worry too much. Li Jim's commander-in-chief is Feidun. I heard that he is a brave and war-hardened Li Jim who is very easy to get along with and understands the big picture." Davers comforted him.

Then, he looked at Antonios and solemnly said: "After the First Legion arrived in Hebernian and assisted Hilos to repel the reinforcements of Lockley, if it was easier to capture the city of Hebernian, then the First Army participated in the attack. City; if the siege takes a long time, then the First Army will not stay in Heberan for long, and the Seckrian fleet will dock on the coast of Heberian, and all the soldiers of the First Army will board the ship. Go to Lijim."

"The First Army to Li Jim?!" Antonios was a little surprised.

"Yes, go to Ligim." Daveus took a letter from Hernípolis and handed it to Antonios, seriously instructing: "You sent this letter to Lord Artili Cruz of Ligim. If he provides you with military food and other assistance as stated in the letter, then the final destination of the First Army is Sicily. If he refuses, then the First Army will only return to Heberian."

"Sicily"-When Duffus spit out the word, the generals were shocked.

"Why? Frightened?!" Daveus looked at Antonios teasingly.

Originally, Antonios was also dissatisfied with Davos' selection of Hilos as the commander of the expedition. Now that he knows that he will leave his army to leave Greece and travel to Sicily alone, he can't help but feel pressure, but Davos's excitement will make him Sternly said, "The First Army...willing to go to Sicily."

"The combat strength of the First Army is the most powerful in the Dionysian Army, and many of the soldiers are old brothers who participated in the Persian expedition. They have rich experience in fighting in enemy situations. Therefore, if the First Army It is impossible to implement this combat plan, and other legions are less likely to gain a foothold in Sicily!" Daveus said to Antonios with expectation.

Antonios responded with a smile.

"You don’t have to be too nervous, Sicily, although most of the area is under the control of Syracuse, Syracuse relies on powerful military power and tyrannical killings to deter the originally independent Sicilian city-states. , Forcing them to surrender. Dionysius brought up tyrants to help him rule these city-states, and levied a large amount of tribute to maintain his huge military expenses. The Greek people in Sicily, even the people in Syracuse They are already very dissatisfied with Dionysius!"
