Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"I will never succumb to the Spartans, even if they are dead!" Pelopidas looked sad and angry.

Ipamunda still maintained a calm look, and gently persuaded again: "Calm down, my best friend, your sacrifice is not good for Thebes. What you should do now is to quickly find the unseen. The arrested anti-Spartan citizens led them out of Thebes."

"You actually let me run away as a coward?!" Pelopidas looked at Ipamiunda in disbelief as if he didn't know him.

Ipamiunda looked earnestly and said in a deep voice: "When the thirty tyrants of Athens were in power, Selabros escaped from Athens. Later, he led the rebels to attack many times and finally liberated Athens... I hope you can become someone like him!"

It should be known that Serablos led the exiles to hide in Thebes. It was the refuge and support provided by the Thebes, so his deeds were well known in Thebes.

Pelopidas was lost in thought, and Charon and other friends came to persuade him.

Pelopidas finally made up his mind: "Okay, I will go to Athens!"

Friends said goodbye to him, and Charon also gave him a package of gold and silver.

Pelopidas hurried on the road to escape, but he vowed to the gods: he will definitely return to Thebes and drive away the Spartans!

After Pelopidas left, the crowd focused their attention on Ipamiunda.When the bad news came and everyone was in a panic, Ipa Milunda was able to keep calm, and persuaded the stubborn Pelopidas to make Charon look at the ordinary man and insisted on keeping him. At home.

Until the riots in the city subsided, Ipamironda left immediately.

Walking in an urban area that was extremely lively due to festivals and celebrations, but now there are few pedestrians, from time to time, I saw the shocking blood on the streets, and was questioned by the spartan patrol team who was rude and brutal, and always been kind to people. Ipa Minunda's anger was burning...

………………………………

On this day, Sparta's raid on Thebes went very well, and Fibidas took complete control of Thebes.

This incident also quickly shocked other city-states in Greece. "Sparta hastily captured a city-state that was not hostile to it without declaring war." This clearly violated the Greek tradition and violated the king's contract. Feeling extremely uneasy.Athens, Corinth, Megara, Argos and other city-states sent envoys to Sparta to question them and asked them to withdraw their troops stationed in Thebes.

The Spartan Council of Elders was once passive, and some elders scolded Fibidas for the chaos, but more elders were very satisfied with the success of Fibidas raid on Thebes, especially Agsi Laws , He declared: Fibidas built a pro-Spartan government in Thebes, which is a great victory!Even during the Peloponnesian War and after the victory, Lysander did not allow Thebes to fall completely to Sparta, but Fibidas did, he was amazing!

But in order to perfunctory other city-states and calm their anger, superficial effort is still required.So, the council of elders made a decision: Fibidas missed his words and deeds, fined 100,000 drachmas (in fact, the money did not allow Fibidas to pay at all), and transferred back to Sparta to reflect in camera.But the reason why Fibidas attacked the city of Thebes was because someone accused Ismailias, another military governor of Thebes, of phoning Persia.

As one of the anti-Spartan leaders of Thebes, Ismailias was arrested by the Spartans on the day the city was broken, so Sparta placed the crime on his head and declared that he would The jury of other city-state organizations tried the matter.

Spartans actually want to interrogate a Thebes's consul for the crime of underpassing Persia?!This is really hilarious!Isn't Sparta the biggest running dog in Persia!!

The native Greek people who scolded “Sparta is too domineering” looked at this jury composition again: In addition to the Spartans being citizens of Sparta’s allies on the Peloponnesian peninsula, there is nothing fair and completely It was Sparta who had the final say!

In the end, Sparta executed Ismailias with the crime of "passing the enemy", and then transferred back to Fibidas, but sent another general to take over the defense mission of the Abyss of Thebes. There are 1,500 troops still stationed in the Acropolis.

The Spartans are cheeky and face the accusations of other city-states, without any change, they firmly hold the results of Fibidas in their hands, and the city-states of Athens, Corinth, and Argos are only faced with this result. The protests did not make any tougher moves. The peace of the King weakened their power. Sparta's strength also made them only tolerate their dissatisfaction, but Athens began to provide support for the Thebes who continued to flee to their territory.

Fibidas was recalled, but the task of suppressing the Kalkidik League in Northern Greece had to be continued, so the Council of Elders appointed the brother of Taurusias, the brother of Agassius who had outstanding performance in the Corinth War. Expedition General.

At the same time, the Council of Elders also decided to restore the city of Platia, which was destroyed by Sparta 50 years ago. This town is in the south of Thebes, guarding the passage of the Corinth Isthmus to Piosia, Sparta It is time to start expanding its power in Central Greece...

"Brothers get up, there is a task!" The captain got into the tent.Shouted.

The soldiers who were lying on the bed and were resting immediately turned over and sat up.

"Captain, what's the mission?!" Adores asked first.

"Commander Alexis asked our Fourth Army to attack Sipontum." The captain replied.

"Just our legion?"

"Of course we are a legion. Other legions also have their own tasks. For example, the first legion is going to attack Vieste..."

"Vest, that's a really troublesome task." Adorris' casual words aroused the curiosity of his comrades: "Adoris, is it difficult to attack West?"

"This is not the case." Compared with these comrades who don't know anything about the Dawney area, Adores knew his father's situation in detail before the start of the Dawney war: "West is a small town It is said that the number is less than 10,000 people, but it is located at the top of the Lala Peninsula, at least 150 miles from Lucenia to Vieste, and half of them are mountain roads. If the First Legion bypasses the road for safety, follow If you march along the coast, the journey is even further..."

"How far are we to West Pentum?" another soldier asked.

After thinking for a while, Adoris said, "It should not exceed 50 miles."

"That's great!" The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't be too happy. There may be soldiers from the Dawn tribe harassing us at any time on the way, so the commander of the Olivers asked us to march fully armed!"

The captain’s reminder did not make the soldiers dissatisfied. From the beginning of the war to the present, although the casualties of the Dionysian army are not large, the recruits who have experienced many wars have faded their initial blood and longing, and felt the war. The cruelty and ruthlessness, including Adolius.

"Hurry up wearing armor, get your weapons, and gather outside. If you are late, you will experience the greatness of Commander Oliver!"

...

Although the army of Dionysian captured Lucenea, the central city of the Downey, Alexis only allowed the first legion to enter the city to maintain order, and the other legions were still stationed in the original barracks outside the city.After all, the Downey will soon become the citizens of Dionysians. Too many soldiers enter the city, which is not easy to manage, and conflicts and disputes will inevitably arise, in case the Downeys arouse extreme disgust towards the Dionysians. As a result of the riots and fear of poor governance in the future, King Davis probably would not praise Alexis for his credit for conquering Danny, but would instead blame his mistakes.

After the Fourth Army had assembled in the battalion, they left the battalion and headed east.

It didn't take long to see the dilapidated walls of Lucena City, not far away to the north, quietly telling the fate of the siege of the previous day.

Adoris still clearly remembers:

"That morning, the army surrounded the city of Luthenia, and there were thousands of cavalry cruising and the Tenth Army as a reserve force to detect and defend the arrival of Dawn.

His Fourth Army was responsible for attacking the west.On their side alone, they are equipped with 20 ballistas and four large siege towers.

The commander of Oliver's Legion ordered.

The ballista fired, the siege tower moved forward, the soldiers carried the ladder, shouted the name of Hades, and rushed to the city wall. The scene was grander and more intense than the previous battle on the Ovanto River. This time his team as the second echelon of the siege, did not immediately enter the battle, so standing in the rear to see the entire battlefield more clearly.

He didn't know whether he was backed up by his team because of his reasons, but he never stopped worrying about the siege battle, and he was saddened by other soldiers falling from the city from time to time.

However, when a company attacked the city head, the commander of the Olivers army ordered the reserve forces to fight. Adoriss and his comrades rushed up the city ladder with the high fighting spirit and swift speed along the siege tower, and were already panicked. The defenders offensive offensive...

The resistance of the Downeys did not last long. When they were excited to win and were sent by the regiment to clean the battlefield, they saw the injured and moaning comrades under the city, and many brothers who died in battle. Adorius is like being splashed with a pot of cold water. He loves fighting and he experienced the cruelty of war at that moment..."

"You said that when this war is over, we can return to Turri, can we still see the rugby finals?" The teammate beside me interrupted Adolius' thoughts.
