Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The rebellious indigenous fighters occupied the city of Mazara, while looting the whole city, while sending people to negotiate with Dionia, proposing that as long as Dionia sends them back to Iberia, they will no longer contact Dionysia Enemy, and offer the city of Mazara.

Daveus's answer was quite tough: they simply were not qualified to talk to him about the conditions. Unless they surrendered immediately and unconditionally, their bodies would not want to return to their homeland even after death.

Davis’s response made the indigenous Iberian warriors angry and frightened. They wanted to kill the fear in their hearts by killing. Therefore, the original looting in the city of Mazara was turned into a massacre. The people of Mazara fought back, but how could it be The opponents of these wolf-like indigenous warriors will all become ghosts under the sword.

Unexpectedly, a team of Lusitans and Celts clashed because of food grabbing. The conflict quickly turned into a fight, and the fight quickly evolved into a melee. The Celtics, the Lusitans, The Iberians and Phinu infantry, they were not under the umbrella of Marco, and their treatment was different. There were some contradictions in the past. Now in order to get more food, so that their people can get more chances of survival, He did not hesitate to kill other races...

All races in the city were involved in this great scuffle, and there was no way to stop it.Throughout the day, the screams and killings in the city were heard all the time.

Dionysia Scouting reported the news of the civil unrest in Mazara City to Daves. Davis refused his general’s request to "interfere with troops" and only allowed Scouting to continue surveillance.

When night fell, the city of Mazara was already bleeding into blood, and corpses ran across the ground.Because of the darkness, the various forces had to stop fighting, each occupying a corner of the city and guarding each other.

The weaker Finu infantry naturally gathered with the remaining Mazara, occupying the port, and began plotting to surrender to Dionia.

On the second day at dawn, the native Iberian woke up from his sleep and suddenly found that thousands of soldiers in black helmets and black armor appeared in the city. They were shocked. They suspected that the other party secretly opened the city gate and put Daioni The army entered.

But in fact, the Mazara people took the Clipper in the port and rushed to Serinus, crying to Daphes for help, and willing to let Mazala join the Kingdom of Dionysia.

Daveus let the Sicilian fleet urgently transport the soldiers of the two legions, and landed at the port of Mazara while the night fell.

Yesterday's melee has caused a lot of Iberian indigenous deaths and injuries. Now the Dionysian army has appeared in the city, and the horns outside the city are screaming and the smoke is rolling.

Even though the Iberian natives were fierce, they were already in desperation and eventually had to choose to surrender one by one.

Segesta and Mazara have surrendered one after another, and Carthage's 100,000 troops have all been annihilated. Davos immediately asked Segersta and Mazara to send emissaries to Ericks to persuade.

Ericks-This Phoenician had no choice in the religious center of Sicily, and soon opened the door to Dionia.

……………………………………

After the surrender of Ericks, Davos led the main force to enter Lili Ping, a military fortress built by Carthage, and he once again convened a military meeting at the main residence of the city, except for the ninth far away in Sardinia. In addition to the absence of the commander of the legion, Teginos, all the Dionysian generals who participated in the war participated in the meeting, even the commander of the seventh army stationed in Palermos, farther away, Zan Tiparis Come urgently.

"Your Majesty, congratulations on your victory in the Sicilian War! You led the army to conquer the entire island and drove the Carthaginians out completely, creating a glorious record that the predecessors failed to create!!" The meeting just started, Tolmed led all the senior generals in unison to congratulate Daveus.

This was obviously beyond Davis's expectations. His eyes slowly swept across the generals' faces and saw Tolmed, Matonis, Olivers, Lizaru, Trotiras, Zante The excitement on Paris's face saw the smiles on the faces of Alexis, Prentals, and Epitanes, the regrets revealed by Amintas, and the face of Leotizides Calm on...

In the end, his eyes fell on Henripolis, who was beside the court, and the court clerk seemed to be laughing at his mouth because of the surprised appearance of Davos.

After a moment, Davos looked solemnly and said emotionally: "This victory belongs not only to me, but also to you, these outstanding officers, to our heroic soldiers, and to our own contribution to this war. All the Dionysian people of the world! Without your excellent command, without the fighting of the soldiers, without the dedication of the people, there will be no glorious victory today! Here, I would also like to congratulate you, but also to you Thank you!" said, he solemnly greeted the generals present with a military salute.

Seeing this scene, the generals were stunned for a moment, and then all returned to the ceremony.

Seeing them all seemed to be touched by their own words, Daphes waved busy and waved his hand, softened his tone, and said, "Sit down, stand like this, and be seen by others, I'm afraid I don't think we are celebrating Victory, but encountered a strong enemy, ready to fight for the death."

Everyone laughed for a while.

Even Hippopolis quipped: "Your Majesty, now in the Western Mediterranean, there is no other city-state and race that you dare to fight against our Dionysia."

These words made a proud smile on the faces of everyone present.

Davers smiled slightly, and did not respond.

After everyone sat down, he said righteously: "You made a small mistake just now, we have not completely conquered Sicily, Ortigia also occupies the rebels of Syracuse. Of course, they It is not worth our attention. But this war with Carthage is far from over. On the land of Afrika across the sea, the rich Carthage may be desperately consuming the treasury gold and silver and want to hire More soldiers, more warships are built to continue this war, so it is not time to celebrate the victory. We cannot give the Carthage any breathing opportunities. We must seize the time and land in Afrika, Beat Carthage completely! Only then will we be able to completely rest our hearts and cheer for the victory!"

After listening to the words of Daphes, the generals’ eyes became eager, and their expressions became more intense: fighting across the sea and conquering Carthage would be a great glory!

Looking at these eager generals, Davos looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "Since the outbreak of the war, in order to provide enough supplies for our huge army, the soldiers can fight with peace of mind without worries. The kingdom has run out of the treasury, the financial austerity of various departments, and the people are saving money and food, and even after the autumn harvest, the food is almost exhausted...

Now we have to fight across the sea, farther away from the kingdom, and consume more materials. Due to the current financial situation of the kingdom, it is impossible to support such a large-scale army. Therefore, the number of soldiers sent in the past will not be too much. I don’t plan to go out with the army anymore.

Fortunately, most of the military power of Carthage has been destroyed by us in Sicily. It is impossible to organize a strong army in a short time, and we have formed an alliance with the East and West Nubians. At that time, their army will go to Africa together and fight side by side with our army. Therefore, although we only sent a part of the army to fight, we still have a great advantage!"

At this time in the eyes of Daphes, the generals had different expressions, but they all more or less revealed a desire: to become the commander of the expedition to Carthage!

Davies did not give them more time to brew and have a chance to fight. He paused and immediately issued a decisive order: "Now, I appointed Alexis as the commander, leading the First Army, the Second Army, the first The Three Legions Expedition to Carthage!"

As soon as the order came out, some generals looked "sure enough" and their faces were relieved; while some generals were unwilling, they did not dare to object.

Over the years, Alexis, who seldom took the initiative to fight and became more and more despised, immediately stood up, with a rare excitement on his face, and said with a tremble: "Your Majesty... I will work together with the brothers who go on the same journey, Fight hard and conquer Carthage as soon as possible to repay your trust!"

Daveus nodded and said nothing more encouragingly. He looked directly at him and said quietly again: "Time is running short, only two days to prepare your legion for the expedition. Two days later, take the boat to Afrika! "

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Alexis, Amintas, Matonis, and Lizaru responded in succession.

"Olivers!"

"Ah...in!"

"Sectus!"

"in!"

"Recently, I received a report from Tigtinos. The ninth legion led by him conquered a number of Phoenician city-states on the island of Sardinia, but because every city-state that was captured had troops stationed, He is not strong enough now to overcome the biggest city-state of Sardinia, Kalaris, and Kalaris is now gathering the last rebellious forces on Sardinia, so Tigetinos asked me for help, I Decided to send the Fourth Army and the Roman Reserve to Sardinia!"

Speaking of which, Davers looked at Olivers and reminded him softly: "In order to avoid excessive consumption of materials, we must end the war in Sardinia as soon as possible. In January, he was already familiar with the situation there, and he knew the enemy well, so he will temporarily serve as a commander. You must obey his command, assist him with all your strength, conquer Calaris, occupy the whole island, and let Sardinia become a complete wearer. The territory of Onia!"
