Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The roadside suddenly burst into cheers, and soon the cheers spread across the Xubari Plain.

The people completely eliminated the last worry in their hearts and began to sing and dance to celebrate this hard-won victory.Some devout believers simply cancelled their plans to go to the port and turned to the Temple of Hades in Turriy, thanking Pluto for the protection of Dionia...

The news reached the venue of the Senate, and it was also a joy.

"It seems that the decision we made before was correct! After Lord Davos became king, victory soon continued, and Hades responded to our request and really blessed the Dionysian Union!" Pu Lesinas said loudly in excitement.

"Yeah, thanks to our elders' daring to make such an amazing decision, we have today's victory!" Marigi responded accordingly.

At this time, most of the elders were gone without the anger when they were forced to choose Daveus as king. They were more fortunate in their hearts, and they expressed their agreement with the two.

Kunogolata did not resent the singing and harmony of the two as usual. He took his gaze away from the two and said aloud, "From the battle report brought back by the messenger, His Majesty Daveus has led the army. The Syracuse people are trapped in Siliting, and the final victory is not too far away from us! But now the biggest problem for the league is food!"

"Master Kunogolata is right. Although the food available is sufficient for our military fighting abroad for two months, for the people of Dionysia, especially the families of freemen and reserve citizens, their The grain reserves have bottomed out. Now that the port is open, the merchants who come to trade have raised the price of grains, so that people who have selflessly donated to the Union and donated food will spend higher prices to buy food! I am afraid that the war will not end, Dai The people of Onia will consume all their savings, which is not conducive to our recovery after the war!" Cornelius said with a worried expression.

"These businessmen are simply abominable!" Stromboli said angrily: "The price of the grain they sell has doubled and is still rising... Mariji, you as a business officer, you should think about it. Vigorously rectify these abominable businessmen!"

Mariji smiled bitterly: "We have taken some measures, and we have also specifically discussed with these merchants who sell food to Turiyi, so it is our best effort to keep the price within three times. However, there is an urgent shortage of food in the Union, and there is a great demand for this. There are more people buying food every day, and price increases are inevitable. We cannot force the merchants to sell food at a fixed price."

"Why not!" Stromboli said aloud: "We must first ensure the interests of the people. We should immediately adopt a plan to let these merchants sell grain at a fair price, otherwise they will not be allowed to sell goods in the alliance! "

"Can't do this!" Merigis called before Merigi said: "This is a stupid act that undermines the Greeks' tradition of free trade! Who will dare to come to Turri to do business in the future, and if the port declines , Can we still receive business tax!"

"We have such a huge territory and a large population in Dionia. I don't believe that greedy foreign businessmen will not come to do business!" Stromboli sneered. As an Amendollar, he was right Merchants do not have much affection.

"Even if we used coercion, those businessmen could not sell food in Turrii, but sail to Heraklia or Crotone." Mariji reminded the elders: "At that time our people will be the same Will flock there to buy cereals, and they will complain that we have caused them so much trouble! Instead of leaving them in Turriy, at least we can take some measures to control the price a little bit. After all Now that the war is not over, the coalition’s shortage of food will continue. These businessmen risked to transport food. If they can’t make huge profits here, I am afraid that no one will be willing to transport food!"

After saying this, the veterans, including Stromboli, all looked sad: Yeah, who asked Dioria to be short of food, they had to rely on these merchants!

"I don't know what happened to Ancitanos' mission to Africa?" Kunogolata remembered Ancitanos with an important mission.

At this moment, the gate of the venue was pushed open, and the guards hurried in, whispering in the ear of the rotating chairman Kunogolata.

Kunogolata immediately greeted her face and said loudly to the crowd: "You, rest, Lord Ansitanos is back, and with him there are ten large cargo ships of Carthage, full of grain!"

Cheers broke out again in the originally sparse venue: "We have food! The people have been saved! Ansitanos succeeded!..."

"I didn't expect it to be the'enemy of Greece' attacked by the Sicilians - Carthage helped us!"

"I'll just say, Hades will not suffer disaster to those who believe in him, he has fulfilled his promise again!"

…………………………………

Just as the veterans of the Senate rushed to the port of Turiri to welcome the arrival of the envoys of Carthage, Dionysia led by Hilos, Hironimos, Fidun, and Ledes — 15,000 of the Allied Legion A soldier set out from Trina and marched towards Heberian.

When he arrived under the city, he found that the city gate was wide open, and the Hebrews took the initiative to leave the city and please descend.Last night, the news of "the fiasco of Lockley's army" had terrified the Hibernians, and the performance of Lockley's refusal to enter the city to participate in the defense and fled straight back to Medema made the Heberians into a panic. In the city, the Hibernians with more than a thousand civic soldiers in the city urgently held a civic conference, and finally made a painful decision...When the next day they discovered that "tens of thousands of Dionysian soldiers were killing in the city of Hibernian "At that time, they surrendered without hesitation.

Before dividing the troops, Davos had discussed with Hilos how to dispose of these Lockley allies, so Hilos accepted the surrender of Heberian, but required: every family in the city must surrender protons to ensure their loyalty.

Facing the huge Dionysian army, the Hebrews had to agree.

In the low city, the Hebrew people cry and cry, and bid farewell to their children, the scene is desolate and touching.

Silos was unmoved and sent a thousand troops to escort the hundreds of children to Trina.At the same time, he made a new request to the Heberians: collect as much food as possible in the city and provide it to the Dionysian troops as military food, otherwise the Dionysian soldiers will starve, and their children will not have Eat something.

Now that the sword is artificial and I am the fish, the Hebrews have to succumb again.

The Daly Coalition was stationed outside the city of Hebernian, while assisting the Hebrews to collect grains, while sending out sentries to investigate the enemy’s situation south, and at the same time, the engineering battalion led the soldiers to build siege equipment for the next attack on the city of Medema Well prepared.

…………………………………

At the same time, Daveus, who learned that "Caulenia is back in the South Italian League" once again wrote a letter and sent Kuai Ma to the city of Cologne. Niah made the right choice, and I and Lucias and Cipros were very happy after hearing the news! Now the Syracuse army is in Dionia, Crotone, Trina Under the heroic offensive of the soldiers, the strength is constantly weakening, and I believe that it is not far from the day of its defeat.

Therefore, we hope that Kaurenia, as a member of the Southern Italian League, mobilizes all combatable citizens in the city like us, takes up the shield spear, and launches an attack on the territory of Lockley, so that this culprit that caused this brutal war I also experienced the pain of being ravaged by the war, so that it was afraid of your attack and did not dare to send reinforcements to help the Siracusa people who were besieged us in the Silitium, so as to ensure that we successfully recaptured the Silitium and annihilated these evils. aggressor!Dionia, Crotone, Trina, Lijim look forward to your actions!..."

This letter made the Corunia Council urgently convene a meeting. Obviously, the main purpose of Davis’s letter was not to praise the correct choice made by Corunia, but to urge them to take immediate action and not stand by. , The last sentence is more like an implicit threat.

The arrow-headed Coronia certainly knew the serious consequences of refusing Dave’s request, so the Citizen Assembly quickly passed the resolution of “Attacking Lockley”.

Although there are a thousand civilian soldiers trapped in the Silitium in Kaurenia, Kaurenia still suffered the least losses in this war in the southern Italian city-state.In the afternoon, Cologne soon mobilized 4,000 civilian soldiers.

……………………………

The Cologne forces had just set out south, and the main forces were sent out, and the empty clerk in the city had long been uneasy about the enemy Cologne for decades. They have been closely watching the motion of Cologne, and the reconnaissance quickly returned News.

At this time, Lockley had been overwhelmed by the bad news that followed, the defeat of the Siracusa army, the defeat of Lockley's main force, and the danger of the city of Hibernian...Now the Cologne army suddenly went south, not for the sake of To help Lockley come, any reasonable Lockley will make such a judgment.

The rapid change of the battle situation made the chief general of Democrat, Demodokas panicked. He actually abandoned the almost dictatorial style of the past six months, and convened a conference.

However, a strange sight appeared at the meeting, and Demodokas repeatedly asked several times: "Damn Coronian broke his promise and invaded our territory! Now that the situation is urgent, what can we do to deal with it? !"
