Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Let's build another one..." Fibidas suggested.

Agassius's eyes lit up, and then he thought of something. He raised his head and smiled at Fibidas self-deprecatingly: "Now supporting Dionysius or Syracuse rebels, this is already involuntary. We Spartan are the masters."

Piddas froze for a moment, and said subconsciously: "Who will decide?" Then he understood.

Agassius looked at him and said solemnly: "Dionia paid victory over Syracuse, and caused Syracuse to lose so much. It has become the leader of Greater Greece and eastern Sicily...

Moreover, listening to what you just said, Dionia now has at least a huge army of more than 50,000, and the military organization that they form this army, which they call the "Legion" is very powerful, they also have the ability to defeat Thira The huge fleet of the Kusa navy!......How can such a powerful force rise behind Sparta?

What's more, Cresops had visited Turiri before, and the new king of Dionynia was very dissatisfied with our Sparta's assistance to Syracuse's invasion of Great Greece!Dionysia, who is hostile to Sparta, after ending the war with Syracuse, just in case... join this war that is going on in Corinth, to Sparta..."

Although Agsilaus had not finished speaking, from his lost sharp eyes, Fibidas could feel the Spartan king's hidden fear of Dionia: Yes!At this time, Sparta, which was constrained by the Asia Minor war and the Corinthian war, had no ability to stop tens of thousands of troops from landing on the coast of Sparta under the leadership of a powerful fleet!

But Fibidas moved his heart, and he said: "When the Dionysian besieged the Syracuse's army in the Silitium, I had met the King of Dionys, Daveus. It has been said,'As long as Sparta is not enemies with Dionysia, Dionysia has no intention of enemies with Sparta'."

"Really?! Tell me in detail what happened when you met!" Agsi Raus came in spirit.

After listening to the narration of Fibidas, Agsi Laos pondered for a long time and sighed: "Dionysian may want to be the second Syracuse, but it is indeed a Syrah that is not bound by Sparta. Kuza, this makes us feel very difficult... Phibidas, did you know that Tarantum sent a messenger to Sparta yesterday, hoping to get our help, because Dionysia was going to merge Tarantum with Into its alliance."

"What?! Dionysia wants to annex Tarantum, which is never allowed! Tarantum is our son!" Fibidas was surprised and objected without thinking.

"The young new king of Dionysia has great ambitions, but no Greek city-state can stop him now!" Agsilaus seemed helpless, and he fell into contemplation again.

Finally, Agsi Laos made up his mind. He held his left leg in one hand and supported the wooden table in the other. He said to Fibidas with a serious expression: "Now we must first stop the Dionysians against Syracuse. And its allies further suppress or even occupy! Tomorrow, I will propose at the Council of Elders...Since Dionysius has lost control of Syracuse, we can only temporarily support the rebels and quickly Restore the strength of Syracuse to counter Dionysia’s power in the Western Mediterranean. At that time, you will travel to Syracuse as a Spartan messenger to resolve its civil strife as soon as possible!"

"I get it!" Fibidas nodded immediately.

"In addition, since the new king of Dionysia has expressed that he is not hostile to us, then we will send Risopus to Great Greece again and have a good talk with him, hoping to make an agreement that can bind A bit of Dionysia can also make us feel at ease!"

Piddas heard Agassius' words, and was a little uneasy in his heart. He wanted to remind a few words, but he didn't know where to start.

Agsilaus didn't notice Fibidas' expression, he was still immersed in thought: "...oh, our war with Persia... and the wars of Corinth, Thebes, Athens, and Argos continued Too long! If we continue this, it will only weaken our Spartan power and reduce our prestige in the Greek world. Instead, it will benefit forces like Dionysia! We must find a way to end this. A long war of meaning!"

……………………………

After the siege failure, Hilos summed up his experience, rebuilt the siege equipment, and formulated a siege plan.

Two days later, Hilos launched an offensive against Medema City again, and the fierce battle broke through in the afternoon. The Dionysia-Lijim Allied forces occupied Medema City.

According to the order of Davos, this time Silos was not soft, he captured the Medema people in the city, reduced them all to slaves, and sent troops back to Turui.

This act of killing chickens and scaring monkeys shocked Lockley and Tarantum, especially Lockley. The fall of Medema means that the Dionysian army to the west of it can no longer be hindered and can enter through the mountain road. Lockley territory, and Lockley will also face Dionysia and Kaurelia on both sides.

What worries Lory even more is: Through this time of understanding the war situation in the north, they sadly found that the expeditionary force of Syracuse is still insecure, and it is impossible for Rory to bring any hope!

Under the persecution of most members of the council, Chief General Demodokas had to decide to betray his brother-in-law and send a messenger to Siriting to seek peace with Dionia.

However, how can Daphes easily spare Lockley in the case of mastering the absolute advantage, he proposed two conditions: first, Demodokas and his cronies must be expelled; second, Lockley must Merged into the Dionysian Union.

The news came back to Lockley, and the people were in an uproar.

Daves had no intention at this moment to care about Lockley, who had been aroused by his words, and he was ready to accept the surrender of the Syracuse army in the Silitian city.

Initially, Fasi Pesas sent a messenger to the Dionysian camp, just wanting a truce for peace.

However, Daphes categorically refused, and he undoubtedly proposed to the messenger: The Syracuse army in the Silitinium must surrender unconditionally, and Dionysia will protect their lives!

Of course, he made a promise: Dionysia will return them safely to their hometown in less than three months, but this does not include the hired cavalry who killed countless Dionysia people!

At the same time, Davers also took the initiative to introduce the messenger to the current situation in eastern Sicily, and showed him letters from Katana, Siculi, Leotini and other city-states that asked for attachment.

The shock in the messenger's heart couldn't be overstated, and he returned to Siliting in disappointment.

As soon as he entered the city, he was stopped by the soldiers and could not wait to inquire about the negotiation.

Facing the soldiers who surrounded him on the third floor and the outer three floors, the messenger finally revealed the truth of the negotiation.

The soldiers never imagined that they had travelled thousands of miles away to fight, but there was riot in their hometown. No wonder Dionysius would leave them and flee back to Sicily alone!

The news brought back to the messengers by the generals of Syracuse, such as the left-behind Fasi Pesas, was doubtful, and the soldiers were completely panicked. They gathered in front of the commander’s mansion again and shouted “Promise Dionia The slogan "People's request, we have to go home", even wounded the guard several times, trying to break into the house forcibly, frightening Fasi Pesas and others.

At this time, the Numbian cavalry, who learned that they would not be let go by the Dionysians, attempted to escape from the Silitian in order to survive, and suddenly attacked the undefended soldiers of Siracusa.

At the same time, Leptinis, who realized that the situation was not good, led more than 20 warships willing to follow him, sailing away from the port, and was intercepted by the Dionysian fleet that had been prepared in advance.

After a sea chase, seven warships fled, and the remaining ships were either captured or sunk, including the ship of Leptinis, who was rescued from the sea by the Dionysian sailor, Became a captive.

On this day, there was chaos and hustle and bustle in the Siliting City.

Dionysian scouts outside the city are 100 meters away from the city walls, and you can hear the fighting and screaming in the city.

They immediately reported this news to Davis.

Davers took no action.

The unrest in the city lasted for a day.

The next day, the gates of Siletine opened wide, and Fassi Pesas and other soldiers who took off their armor and threw shield spears, as well as more than 30,000 people such as freemen and slaves, surrendered to Dionia.At the same time, the head of the hundreds of Numisbians who created the chaos in the city and was eventually surrounded and killed yesterday.

The entire Dionysian camp was thunderous, and after months of bloody battles, it finally wiped out the invading army of Syracuse!

Daveus ordered the detention of these tens of thousands of captives, and led his troops into the city of Siriting, arranging for the personnel to clean and repair this dilapidated city by the Siracusa army.

…………………………………

The Syracuse rebel messenger Ferrosanus originally planned to land in Crotone, and then came to the Dionysian camp. Unexpectedly, he was intercepted by the Dionysian fleet near the Sea of ​​Siriting.

Only then did he know that the Syracuse army had all surrendered to Dionia, and he couldn't help but be surprised.He originally wanted to use the "persuading the Syracuse army" as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Dionia, but now it has failed.

Uneasy, he landed at the port and soon saw Davis.

Daveus had heard of this famous Sicilian poet in the mouth of Ansitanos, but he obviously did not have Yaxing who was right in the poem, but was straightforward to Ferrosan who wanted to return to the captives of Syracuse Si said: Dionysia and Syracuse are in a state of war, so it is impossible for Dionysia to release them at this time, so that they can pick up the shield spear and fight Dionysia after returning!
