Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Herolis, the Dionysians said they would prevent Dionysius's army from returning to Sicily, shouldn't they be lying?" Ferrosanus asked worriedly.

"Dionysius lost his fleet and was unable to bring his army back to Sicily. Instead of worrying about him, it is better to worry about the army that will be captured, not only mercenaries, but also our tens of thousands of citizens And the sailors, will Dionia send them back to Syracuse?!" Stacecos raised an important issue that everyone cares about but dare not face. The same is true.

Although they succeeded in the riots with the help of the Dionysians, once they thought about the future of Syracuse as the master, they instinctively raised vigilance against Dionyssia. After all, Syracuse and Dai The two major forces of Onia have a natural conflict of interest.Herolis Although they rebelled because of the dictatorship of Dionysius, they also hoped that Syracuse could continue its previous glory.

Herolis carefully exhorted: "These issues will be discussed later. After all, Dionysius has not been eliminated, and we cannot relax our vigilance. And the army of Dionysian did show goodwill, and they stayed away With Taunis, the promises made so far have been fulfilled. No Dionyan soldier stepped on the land of Syracuse... of course, we cannot let our guard down! Stacex, you must urge the north The soldiers of the city wall strengthen their patrols! Master Tethys—"

Herolis looked at the old sailor again. The other generals were all his like-minded friends. Only the general from the port and the born poor, he had to remind him again: "I heard that there are some The Onia, they spread rumors everywhere, make people feel uneasy, and undermine the security and stability of Syracuse. I hope you will get these Dionysian spies out when you go back and expel them from Syracuse !"

"Yes, it should be done! The Syracuse matter should be resolved by us Syracuse people, no enemies are needed to intervene, because they all have other intentions and want to do harm to Syracuse!" Ferrosanus immediately agreed loudly.

Tethys was stunned, as far as he knew: The Dionysians had a close relationship with Herolis, and they also got along well with the poor in the port. Not only did they organize them, and they joined the city to rebel against Dionysius. Rule, but also teach them how to fight for their own interests. This time the land distribution can be successful, but also from their advice... But now the generals who have benefited have to turn their heads and deny them!

Herolis saw him in a daze, so he loudly reminded: "Now the rule of Dionysius has been overthrown, we are the generals officially elected by citizens of Syracuse, representing the wishes of the people, and Dioni The exchanges between the Asians should be through formal diplomatic channels, and not privately exchanged in private as before. This will not only confuse the people, but also damage the interests of Syracuse!"

Herolith's remarks were upright and Tethys could not object, only agree.

"Ferrosanos, are you willing to go to Dionia, and discuss with the Diorian House how to end this war, and at the same time return the citizens of Syracuse captured by Dionysia?" He Asked Rollis.

"I'm willing to go!" Ferrosanus agreed.

"In case the Dionysians put forward many harsh demands on us!" Falekus, another General Syracuse, expressed his concern.

"I think the Dionysians will ask for more compensation from the war and ... to protect their rights in the northern city of Syracuse... Katana, Leotini and other city-states." This For a few days, Herolis not only led everyone to clear the remaining forces of Dionysius inside and outside the city, to stabilize the order of Syracuse, but also wondered how the new Syracuse regime would be acquired in the following situation Security and development.Dionysia is a big stone lying in front of Syracuse and cannot be bypassed. Of course, Herolis thought a lot about it.

"Dionia may even allow us to dissolve the Sicilian League and return the land of other city-states that had previously occupied!" Staceykos reminded loudly.

Everyone's face changed, especially Tethys, because the piece of land promised by the committee was Siracusa's plunder from several affiliated city-states to the south.

Herolis still seemed calm: "Negotiations, of course, the other party will make a lot of excessive demands, but...Ferrosanus, you must remember that without our Syracuse's cooperation, Dionia I'm afraid it won't be too good, for example, we can go to Siriting to persuade the tens of thousands of troops to help Dionysia end the war in Great Greece at an early date, and for example, we do not recognize Catania, supported by Dionysia, in Siracusa, Leotini and other Sicilian city-states, it is impossible for them to gain a foothold on the east coast of Sicily..."Herolis said more and more confident, these years he has been very deep on Dionysia, especially on Davers Understanding, he believed that the young and wise new king of Dionysia would never be blinded by hatred, but made many excessive demands.

After listening to Ferrosanus, he had a sense of heart, he promised: "Relax, I will not let Syracuse's interests be damaged!"

"The concession still requires proper concession. After all, we are the party that has been in Dionysia." Herolis was afraid that Ferrosanus was too straight and annoyed Davos.

"I understand that I'm negotiating, not poetry." Ferrosanus finished, everyone except Tethystis laughed.Before Dionysius held many poem banquets, Ferrosanus always kept Dionysius out of the stage, so he provoked resentment from the tyrant.

"Falekus, how much money does our treasury have?" Herolis asked.

"Uh..." Falekus had just answered, and the guards ran in: "Masters, Ortigia, a Spartan came and said that he was a Spartan messenger and asked to meet you."

"Spartan messenger?!" Everyone was surprised.

finally come!Herolis clenched his fists.

……………………………

Fibidas stepped into the city hall. None of the ten people in the room knew him.In fact, every time he came to Syracuse, Dionysius treated him warmly in the palace of the island of Olympia. He was accompanied by officials and servants at all times, allowing him to enjoy the general treatment of an oriental prince. Almost no one went into the city of Syracuse to experience life alone, except for the last time the soldiers of Carthage came to the city.

But he does not know others, does not mean that others do not know him.Scarlet big cloak, long hair shawl, bushy beard, eagle-hook nose, cunning and sharp eyes, face is always a cold and proud look...Heroris is too familiar with this Spartan, he is subconscious Shouted: "Dionysius is back?!"

As soon as this remark came out, not only Fibidas, but everyone else was taken aback.

Although Pididas was a little surprised in his heart, his face didn't show up. He looked at the man standing in the middle of the crowd and asked, "Are you?"

"Herolis, the chief general of Syracuse elected by the Citizen Assembly!" Herolis said loudly and solemnly: "Dear Spartan messenger Fibidas, Dionysius let you come of?"

This is Herolis?!Phibidas suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and instead of looking at him carefully, he grumbled: "What right does Dionysius have to instruct the Spartans, I just want to return to Sparta to report to the Elder Council The battle in Greece helped him come here to urge the troops, but unexpectedly, he saw a group of thugs messing up Syracuse!"

"We are not thugs, Dionysius is! We just regained the rights and freedoms that should belong to the people of Syracuse!" Ferrosanus retorted loudly.

"Oh, freedom!" Fibidas snorted again: "When Dionysius led the army, it was difficult to pull back some of the battles, and it was possible to reverse the situation with only one or two thousand reinforcements. This riot will cause tens of thousands of Syracuse citizens to lose aid and eventually die in Great Greece!"

Some of the generals were slightly ashamed, while others refuted loudly.

"The battle that Dionysius started was to take the life of the citizens of Syracuse. If this continues, the entire Sicilian Greeks will be buried for Dionysius' ambitions! Apollo blessed, We have stopped the citizens of Syracuse from continuing to make unnecessary sacrifices for this war that does not belong to us. We will also negotiate with Dionia to rescue the citizens trapped in Greater Greece!" Staceykos said loudly. Said.

"The war that doesn't belong to you?!" Fibidas sneered: "The Dionysian army has captured the closest town of Taunisi, which is already on the shield of the Dionysians. Under the threat of spears, this also says it has nothing to do with you?!"

"This is the result of Dionysius' continued aggression against others!" Ferrosanus waved his right hand and said angrily.

Herolis interrupted the words of his best friend by saying: "Fibidas messenger, these are internal affairs of Syracuse, we will deal with it in the end, you just tell your purpose here."

Fibidas's eyes pierced him like a blade: "Syracuse is an alliance of Spartans. Sparta must of course care about Syracuse's internal affairs to ensure its political stability and will not let Sri Lanka The interests of Bada are damaged. When necessary, we will send troops to help the chaotic Syracuse restore order! I did this four years ago, and today I hope you can consider me calmly Suggestion! Spartan suggestion!"
