Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

For a time, everyone remained silent, but no one responded.

Demodokas was shocked in his heart: he knew that during this time, with the encouragement of Dionysius, relying on the support of the powerful army of Syracuse, he ruled out the differences and attacked political enemies in the city of Lockley. Many The bill was directly implemented without the vote of the parliamentary meeting or the civic assembly.But now it seems that many people are grieving and ready to embarrass him when they find a chance!

Just when he secretly regretted not holding such a meeting, his confidant Panticapes finally stood up and said: "This is actually very simple, we can bring back the troops stationed in Medema and repel Columbine. Niah!"

"It's so easy to say, what about Madma?!" Metrofinis asked back.

"It is reported that Medema has more than two thousand civic soldiers, able to defend against the enemy's attack, and we don't have to worry about it for the time being." Panticapes responded with ease.

"Don't worry?!" Meteorphoenix sneered: "Mederma's messenger once repaid that the Dionysians who defeated our army had more than 10,000 soldiers, plus Ligurim of Taurina. People, I am afraid that the number of enemy soldiers exceeds 20,000! If more than 2,000 Medema civics want to resist the attack of 20,000? The Dionysian army is not an ordinary Greek army, but they have great power. Ballista!..."

Meteorphoenix anxiously reminded everyone: "Once Medema loses his guard, the huge army of Dionysian and Lijim can be killed from the west, and then join the army of Corenia. It’s dangerous!"

The words of Metropolis were heard by everyone in the council, and all of them looked nervous. Someone couldn't help but shouted: "I see...Lokri still have peace with Dionysia!"

As soon as these words came out, many people agreed.

"Fool!" Demodokas finally couldn't help but scolded the export: "Crotone, Trina, and Kaurenia of the Southern Italian League are our deadly enemies for decades. They were in this war. It’s been a huge loss, think about it with your pig’s head, what price do we have to pay to calm their anger?!”

"The wise chief general must have a way to repel the attack of the Allied forces of Kaurnia, Dionysia and Lijim!" Someone said yin and yang, which caused many people to snicker.

Demodokas looked so blue, if in the past, who would dare to talk to him like this!The defeat of Syracuse changed the minds of the members of the Lockley Council!

Demodokas felt a chill in his heart, and he reminded loudly: "Siracusa also suffered a fiasco in the war with Carthage, but the final victory still belongs to Syracuse! Even if Siracusa, which owns more than half of Sicily today, fails in the battle, it still has rich resources and wealth, and a sufficient population. This is far from comparable to the city-states of Dionia, Crotone, and Trina. Yes, the last victor will be Syracuse! And we are here to negotiate with the enemy alone. Think about it, will Dionysius forgive the betrayal after the victory!"

Demodokas glared at everyone, precisely because Lockley and Syracuse were in close contact, and the talents of Lockley knew more about Dionysius’ horror, even if Demodokas said “Siracusa "Win" is just a hypothesis, and they dare not take risks because it is a hypothesis, so they have avoided the sight of Demodokas.

The performance of everyone made Demodokas temporarily relieved. He glanced at Meteorphoenix a few times and said firmly: "What we have to do now is to hold on! Hold on to Lockley City! Until the final victory Coming! By that time, the land of Kaurnia and even the Silitian will be owned by Lockley!"

In the end, Lockley Council made a decision to "return to Medema's army and defensive territory", which achieved the purpose of Demodokas convening a council to share responsibilities, avoiding the possibility of suffering because he made a decision alone. The blame for "abandoning the allies".But the uncertain future also made Demodokas feel uneasy. As a relative of Dionysius, he had to make some preparations.

………………………………

Just as Hilos led his army to march towards Heberian, the First Army had already stepped on Seclian's fleet and headed south.

In the afternoon, the warship entered the port of Lijim and was once again warmly welcomed by the Lijim people.

At the same time, the Chief of the First Army Anthony met with the governor of Lijim, Dafis’ father-in-law Atelier Cruz, he brought about "The main force of Lockley in Hebrian because of Li Jim-Daio The good news of the raid of the Allied Forces in Niya, "was hard for Atelier Cruz and the members of the council present.

Many people even claimed to praise: "Fidun did a good job!", but they forgot to remember that last night, when they learned that Fidun took most of Taurina's troops and took the ship north, they panicked and complained angrily: "Fidun mobilized the troops without authorization, leaving Lijim in a dangerous situation. He must be taken back to Lijim again and subjected to a severe trial!"

Then, Antonios presented Daveus's letter to Atili Cruz again. After reading it, he showed his joy and even read it in public at the council. The letter began with Daveus respecting his father-in-law. Greetings, and talking about Agnes' pregnancy.

Hearing this, the parliamentarians began to greet Atili Cruz and complimented him: "I found a good son-in-law!" In fact, the same is true. As the war continued, the two great powers of Great Greece-K The strength of Rotone and Lockley were greatly weakened, and even the army and navy invaded by Syracuse were hit hard. The Ligis suddenly realized that if there were no major accidents, Dionysia’s The forces will surely have a greater expansion. I heard that Daveus is now King of Dionysia, so the father-in-law identity of Artili Cruz is even more precious!

Because of this, how could the Lijim miss the chance of flattering?

Atili Cruz laughed, and he was glad that he had made a very correct decision to marry his daughter to the lowly "starter" Davers.

In the letter, Daphes then mentioned: Although Dionia defeated Syracuse, the battle is far from over. Syracuse has rich resources in Sicily and may send new troops to reinforce it at any time. Therefore, in order to end the war at an early date, it is necessary to lead the war to Sicily, disrupt the order there, destroy the territory of Syracuse, and capture the allies in Syracuse, in order to better weaken the power of Syracuse and force it to take the initiative. surrender!To this end, Dionia hopes to receive the full support of the Allied Limmy...

The parliamentarians who rushed to congratulate the Chief General just heard this and stopped talking.They admit that Davers made sense, attacking Sicily was the best way to defeat Syracuse, but Lijim gave his full support, and the businessman’s habit of competing with Baht made them have to think carefully: full support means providing a fleet, Providing the army, providing material transportation, and supplying military supplies... For Lijim, who is also supporting the army to fight Lockley, this will be another huge effort!And who knows when the upcoming Sicilian war will end!...

Atili Cruz looked at the contrasting performance of everyone and laughed inwardly. He continued to say aloud: "...After the war with Syracuse, Dionia will take Messina and will Co-administer with Lijim! To manage an important strait checkpoint city, Dionia has no experience and needs to rely on Lijim's great assistance..."

"I heard it right?! Dionia wants to share Messina with us!"

"Don't you understand?! It's mainly up to us to manage Messina, and we can finally get it, thus completely monopolizing the strait!"

...

The parliamentarians talked excitedly.

"Everyone, about the need for our assistance from the Confederate Dionysia..." When Attila Cruz reiterated the matter, everyone did not hesitate any more and expressed their support.

"As long as Lord Davers fulfills his promise in Thaksin after the war, Li Jim should fully support Dionia's attack on Sicily!"

"If you want to get Messina, Syracuse must be defeated! So we will support Dionia!"

"Now the port is open and the air route is open. As long as there are not too many soldiers sent by Dionia to Sicily, I think we should be able to supply two or three months of military food..."

...

Seeing this scene, Atili Cruz could not help but sigh: At the time, he was persuaded by his son to give up the idea of ​​monopolizing Messina, writing to persuade Daveus to take Messina from Syracuse, Unexpectedly, Davos had a bigger appetite, and he used Messina in exchange for the support of the Ligis for Dionia's foothold in Sicily!

………………………………

The next day, Dionysius of Silitine was furious at the unreasonable demands made by Daphes, and while urging the craftsmen to speed up the creation of ironware, he secretly sent someone to bury Numbi who was buried in the two days due to serious injuries. The corpses of the Asians were dug out quietly, setting aside the first level, allowing the messenger to take them to the Dionysian camp and pervert Davies, thus continuing to negotiate with Daves on peace talks.

In Hibernian, the Dionysia-Lijim Allied forces set off and march towards Medema.

The Medema people were furious because of the withdrawal of Lockley's army, but Lockley's reminders and warnings made them have illusions about the Syracuse, so they decided to stick to their aid.

After failing to persuade the surrender, Hilos, after discussing with Feidun, Hironimos and Ledes, decided to attack the city of Medema.

The troops began to build camps, and the engineering battalions continued to build siege equipment.
