Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 578: Confrontation with the Spartan Messenger (Part 2)

Davies was deeply disturbed by Kerry Thorps. He was busy saying: "This is just the condition that Sparta prepared before the negotiation. You can also put forward your conditions first, and we will discuss together."

"Kelithorpes." Daveus said coldly: "Now the war in Great Greece has subsided. The situation in Sicily is fairly stable for Dionysia. I can draw more than 200 three-tier paddles at any time. Warships, and more than 50,000 soldiers! If I lead this huge fleet all the way to the east and reach the Peloponnesian Peninsula in less than three days, can Sparta stop it?!"

Without waiting for the guest to answer, he said firmly: "No! Your fleet has been defeated by Konon's navy in Knidos. Now there are less than 100 remaining warships, and they are afraid to come out in Corinth Bay. , Is not an opponent of the Dionysian fleet at all! If a fleet of 50,000 soldiers subsequently landed on the coast of Mesenia, can your army block it?!"

Dave's mouth twitched slightly: "No! Most of the Spartan fighters are sent to Corinth, a few are sent to Persia, and the rest are to suppress the black soldiers in the country. Even if Sparta can gather all the fighters, I’m not at all afraid of Dionia! I believe that Dionia’s large and elite legionnaires can completely defeat your proud Spartan soldiers!"

Daveus said that an extremely confident punch thumped on the wooden table. The sound of "Dang" made Kriethos, who had experienced countless life-and-death struggles, unconsciously shake, as if the fist hit his heart. on.

"Of course, I don't have to work so hard at all." The expression on Davis' face suddenly changed to ease, and he said in a slowed tone: "I just need to let the army disperse Spartan's left-behind troops in Mesenia and block the Thai. Getos Pass, and then support the black robbers-no, let the Mesenians be independent and arm them, and then withdraw the army without consuming too much food or fighting too much, But the armed Mesilia, can you Sparta cope easily? No, you can't! The riots of the Mesenians decades ago made you suffer!"

Not only did they endure their hardships, when Sparta had no way to take the rioting Mesenians, and even pleaded with Athens and other allied gangs to help them suppress the riotous black heroes. As a result, the chief general of Athens at the time Mongolia brought thousands of Athenian soldiers to Sparta to help. Unexpectedly, because of the different political systems and customs, they received a lot of suspicion and grievances. The soldiers returned to the country indignantly. After the public propaganda, it caused people's anger towards Sparta, which led to the resignation of the pro-Spartan leader Kemeng. Pericles became the new leader of Athens for a few decades, and created the golden age of Athens.

However, even with the help of the Allied forces, Sparta failed to destroy the rioting Mesenians. Instead, it caused the domestic people's lives to be difficult. The Black Rogers were encouraged to continue to rise up and eventually Sparta had to work with The rebels reached a compromise, allowing them to leave Spartan territory freely...

It was a bitter memory of the Spartans, but Daveus said so easily that he would repeat it again. How could this not let Crisopus be startled, he forced his composure, and his face was more A bit sharp: "Dionia wants to declare war on Sparta?!"

"It's not that Dionia wants to do this, but that Sparta is forcing Dionia to have to prepare for war!" Davers said in a deep voice.

"Persecuting Dionia?!" Keri Thorps seemed to hear a joke, and he seriously reminded: "Sparta is sincere to negotiate a friendly agreement with Dionia!"

"Syracuse destroyed so many Greek city-states in Sicily, forcibly ordered the Sicilian city-states to obey his orders, and did not see Sparta coming out to stop it! Dionysius led the army to invade Great Greece, burn and loot, do nothing, do nothing See you Sparta came out to stop! Now I Dionysia defeated Syracuse to revive the order of Great Greece and Sicily and restore peace in this area, you Sparta came out and stopped! Is this what it is The sincerity of the Spartans!" Daveus said coldly, his tone gradually increasing.

"Daveus, listen to me--" Kerry Thorps still wanted to explain.

"Why did Sparta want to point fingers at Dionysia, Great Greece, and Sicily!" Daphus asked angrily, interrupting Krisops like thunder: "On your thousands of soldiers? The tens of thousands of Peloponnesian allies? And the mercenaries who are all together?! With my order, I can gather more than 200 three-tier paddle warships and 50,000 elite soldiers to kill Peloponnese peninsula, torn Spartan territory and allies into pieces, so that the arrogant Spartans understand how to respect a strong country, so that the greedy and selfish Spartans understand that the Western Mediterranean is not Burrow Benissa, no outside forces are allowed to stir the water!..."

Listening to Davos's angry accusations and watching the new king wave his arms vigorously, Kelithorpes remembered that Fibidas had sent a mission long ago to finish off Dionysia and asked to punish Dai at the council of elders As Onia said, "Dionysia is a city-state alliance that respects force and is aggressive. We must find ways to limit it, otherwise it will cause us trouble in the future!" More than trouble, it is simply the biggest Threat!The Davis in front of him seemed to be a lion that had grown up. He no longer hid his minions, but roared towards the old Greek overlord, waving his sharp claws.

At this time, Kerry Thorps calmed down. He heard the clue from Davis's rebuke: "King Davis, since you are not satisfied with the conditions of our peace talks, what are your conditions?"

The anger expressed by Daphes was not directed against Kleethorpes, but the Spartan Council of Elders behind him. Hearing this, he consciously achieved his purpose, snorted coldly, and his anger did not converge. Instead of roaring, Shen Sheng said: "The Greeks in the Western Mediterranean can manage our own affairs without Spartan intervention. If Sparta can recognize this, I don’t think Dionysia will The Greek affairs in the Eastern Mediterranean are of interest. This is the basic condition for Dionysia and Sparta to reach a peace agreement!"

Kleethorpes was shocked by Davis's ambitions and even wanted to share the Mediterranean world with Sparta.Although Sparta did not pay much attention to the Western Mediterranean, they supported Syracuse to help them guard the Spartan backyard. Although Syracuse continued to grow stronger, Dionysius began to be less Obedient, but in the eyes of ordinary Spartan warriors, the Syracuse has always been the weakest party in the covenant and is dominated by Sparta, but now Dionia has officially proposed to sit on par with Sparta... ...Kleethorpes stared at Daphes.

Daveus stared at Kerry Thorps with a determined look.

After a moment, Kleethorpes said, "I understand what you mean, and I will relay your words to the Council of Elders. I believe they can reply quickly."

"Yeah, the war in the Western Mediterranean is developing very fast, and it may be a completely different situation in a few days, so it's important to hurry up." Daveus' seemingly inadvertent reminder reminded Kleethorpes again. Is tight.

After sending off the hurriedly departing Kelithops, Genipolis asked with concern: "Your Majesty, will the Spartans agree to your terms? And negotiate according to it?"

Daveus was not very sure about this, but he smiled slightly: "The current Dionysia is not afraid of Sparta, and there is nothing to beg for Sparta. But now Sparta is We are different, and I believe that after Kleethorpes relayed my threatening words to the Spartans, the Spartans will not sleep for a long time."

"But even if the Spartans signed a friendly agreement with us as they did, they would surely remember to hate Dionia!" Genipolis said worriedly: "It's better to take advantage of Spartan's war now." In the whirlpool, completely destroy it according to your majesty's plan!"

"Haha, Herney, you can't see that you hate Sparta more than I do!" Davers smiled.

"Your Majesty, I'm just...just worried about Sparta's future..." Henripolis argued anxiously.

Daveus patted his shoulder and said confidently: "You can rest assured that a city-state like Sparta does not need our Dionysian shot, it has no future!"

Even though Daphes does not have a clear record of this period of history, but with his deep understanding of the Greek mainland in recent years, he knows: Sparta and Peloponnese on the Corinth, Argos, and Central Greece’s The conflict between Athens and Thebes is irreconcilable, and the war will continue.Dionysia finally ended the war with Syracuse and needed time to digest and absorb the new land. There is no need to poke the Spartan horse honeycomb. Even if it is weakened, it will not be of great benefit to Dionysia. On the contrary, it will create better expansion opportunities for other Greek city-states, such as Athens and Thebes... or let them contain each other and kill each other, so that Dionysia will have more time to develop.

Unsurprisingly, after receiving reports from Keli Thorps, the Spartan Council of Elders felt frightened despite the anger on his face: The great Greek Dionysian army was ready to go, Sparta Dar was unable to open up a new battlefield.

The Spartans were ridiculed by the Greeks as "venomous snakes hiding behind Mount Parnon." Activists.
