Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Antonios looked at the wounded soldiers behind him and said with concern: "Our medical camp will arrive soon. Please allow them to treat the wounded soldiers for your army."

"That's really great! I have heard that Dionysia's medicine is the best in the whole of Greece!" Feidun laughed more happily.

The two parties met each other and introduced themselves, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

At this time, Naval Commander Seclion also arrived.If it was before the war and when the Dionysian Navy was first built, Seclion did not command the Navy to get any decent record. Even if he was valued by Davis, these commanders of the various legions would not really value him.Now the victory of the two naval battles, and this attack against Heberian, is also through the needle and lead, so the army has respected him and talked to him in an equal manner.

In the meantime, talking about yesterday's thrilling conference battle made Feidun and Sectrian longing for it and wished he could be there.

"General Seclian." At this time, Antonios took a scroll of paper from his arms and said seriously: "This is the order your majesty gave you."

Sectrian immediately opened the scroll and looked surprised. "Your Majesty wants me to obey your command and transport the First Legion to Sicily?!"

Antonios nodded solemnly.

On the side, Feidun heard it, and immediately asked, "Are you going to attack Sicily?!"

Antonios nodded again and said, "We don't know anything about Sicily, we still need General Feidun to help you." That's why he came up with this paper order on this occasion.

Feidun did not refrain, but said enthusiastically: "Master Davis made a correct decision! We Ligis are very close to Sicily, so we know very well how powerful Dionysus is in Sicily. Light It is not enough to eliminate the army that invaded Great Greece. Only by weakening his power in Sicily can he eradicate his threat to Great Greece! I have a deeper understanding of the Greek city-states in eastern Sicily and would like to share this information with you. ."

Antonius immediately thanked him, so he talked eagerly with Feidun and Sectrian on this issue.

Hilos and Hironimos were not idle, because it was getting late, they regrouped their troops, escorted the captives, and were invited by Cipros to return to Trina to rest and attack the city of Hebrian tomorrow morning. .

At this point, they all knew clearly: Lockley was hit hard by this, and the empty Hebrian was unable to resist Dionysia's attack.

Therefore, while Silos sent a messenger to report to Davers, he also asked him how to deal with Heberian.

………………………………

Dionysius in the Silitium was relieved a little after receiving Damocles' return.In his previous research on Davis, he found that Davis did not like to kill everything, often leaving some room for his opponents. In the past, he often despised this kindness of women, but now he hopes that Davers Can do this.

"Daveus is still young!" After receiving this relatively satisfactory result, Dionysius couldn't help but sarcastically, it seems that this kind of verbal pleasure can temporarily offset the fear of this young man who has begun to breed in his heart. : What a terrible military command capability this new Dionysian king could reverse the whole situation in the bad situation surrounded by enemies!As long as he is willing to negotiate!

Dionysius has even begun to imagine what harsh conditions the Dionyans will put forward in the peace talks tomorrow.He had already considered it, and as long as Dionia’s conditions for peace talks were not too difficult, he decided to accept them.As long as he can bring these tens of thousands of soldiers back to Sicily, and also release the captive soldiers, just as Dionia had treated Crotone, then there will be no power in Syracuse Too much loss, his tyrant status will not be obviously threatened, and Sicilian hegemony will be maintained!As for the peace agreement signed with Dionia... When the power of Syracuse is restored, it is just a piece of waste paper!Dionysius did not plan to obey at all, so he would not stupidly keep promises in pursuit of a good reputation like Daphes!

But... the military command ability of this man is too strong, it seems that he has to think of ways to deal with him from other aspects... Dionysius pondered, and the narrow slits of the eyes flashed intimidatingly , Shady light.

At this time, the attendant came in and reported: "Adults, ships and sailors are ready, just wait for your order."

"Let them wait until night and confirm that there are no enemy ships outside the port, and then start quietly." Dionysius said solemnly: "Tell them that the lives of the citizens of Syracuse are entrusted to them, hoping that they will Under the protection of Apollo, despite the hardships and dangers, he returned home smoothly!"

Although the Dionyan fleet began to block the port of Siritan since the Syracuse retreated, but it could not be blocked 24 hours a day, especially at night, the sailors needed to go ashore to eat, At rest, the warship also needs to return to the port of Crotone, tow into the dock for repair, drying, and removal of maggots, otherwise the sturdiness of the hull is difficult to guarantee.Even if the squadrons in turn are blocked, they are afraid to be too scattered because of the fear of loss. After all, there are more than 30 Siracusa warships in the Silitian port. For these reasons, the Dionysian fleet cannot be completely blocked at night. Live in the port.

So in the middle of the night, it is estimated that the preparations outside Siriting port are relatively lax, and the ships sent by Dionysius should be able to go out smoothly.It's just that sailing in the middle of the night is much more dangerous. Storms, reefs, deviations from the course, and even the fleet that may encounter Dionia's south may make these clippers buried in the belly of the fish.

But Dionysius can only believe that the Clippers dispatched by the most experienced helmsmen and sailors in the Navy always have a big port that can finally return to Syracuse, let Philosos know The Siracusa army is now in a difficult situation in Greater Greece.

Although the national treasury of Syracuse is very expensive, most of the young and middle-aged citizens are already in Greater Greece, and the new warships cannot be built in a short time, but Dionysius still believes in the ability of Philistos , I believe he can build an army of not less than 20,000 people, a not less than one hundred three-layered warships and prepare to supply 50,000 people for two months of military reserves... Of course this is Dionysius Si made another preparation to deal with the failure of the peace talks. As for how things are carried out, he can't catch it, and can only hope in Apollo...

Seeing that the attendant left the hall, he couldn't sit still and decided to go to the blacksmith shop in the city.

He also sent people for peace talks, and the other purpose was to delay the time: the most urgent problem of the Syracuse army is not military food (due to the sharp reduction in the battle, the Silitium reserves enough food for them to maintain for more than a month), but Weaponry.

After the battle was defeated, the soldiers threw helmets, shields, and even some breastplates, spears, and sabers along the way in order to escape. The enemy also threw equipment to catch up with them, but the winner was wearing The Onia, they could pick them up when they cleaned the battlefield, but the Syracuse soldiers fled into the Silitian with their hands empty and embarrassed. Fortunately, there were thousands of them looting the Silitian Weapons from time to time.But this was not enough. He had to let the blacksmiths who were on the army and responsible for repairing weapons use the blacksmith shop in the city to speed up time and start to build weapon armor again.To this end, he also ordered his men to search for iron ore and scrap iron.

Now, he is going to inspect to see how this important work is going.

Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something again, stopped again, and turned to the other direction—Fibidas' residence.Now that the war is in progress, Fibidas has little role as a military adviser, but as a Spartan, he can play his unique role in peace talks.

…………………………………

Early the next morning, Fibidas and Siracusa messenger Damocles came to the large camp under construction in Dionia.

This time, Davis did not come out in person, but sent the clerk Henripolis as the person in charge of the negotiations.

As soon as Henripolis met, he gave Damocles a Mawei: "Yesterday, after discussions with His Majesty’s Commanders, His Majesty Daphes believed that, given the credibility of your plenipotentiary Dionysius in the past, You need to do one thing to show the sincerity of your peace talks before our peace talks can begin."

Upon hearing this, Damocles immediately protested: "Dionysians, you are a humiliation to General Dionysius!"

"So what!" Henipolis raised his head and said arrogantly: "Can Dionysius send troops to threaten Dionysia again?! Oh, I forgot, he already tried It’s a pity that he failed! Now you are asking for peace talks!"

Damocles was speechless for a moment, and was silent for a while, then said stifledly, "What are we going to do?"

Genipolis sneered in his heart and said hatefully: "The Numisbians and Celts you hired are violently outside the cities of Asprostoum and Crimea in the Dionysian Union. Looting and killing, not even the elderly and children, we Dionysians hate to eat their blood! Eat their meat! Since you want peace talks, please owe this group to the countless blood debts of the big Greeks. The head of the "beast" was cut off and sent to us before we talk! I think after the battle the day before yesterday, they should have little left."
