Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Agsi Laws." Leotichides sneered and interrupted him. "This is how you want to stop my army from attacking Sparta? It's too clumsy."

Leotichides said, standing up and walking to King Sparta kneeling on the ground.

Agsilaus looked up at his nephew whose face was frost, his steps were thunderous, and he walked straight towards him. There was no trace of panic on his face, but he was a little more happy: "This event between Dionysia and Sparta During the war, the Council of Elders will send a special messenger to discuss. The reason why I am here is just because I just learned from Dolios that Protonus, the famous general of Dionysia, is you! This is the blessing of Zeus! In these years of war, men in our family have been killed in battle. Now, except for me, Archidams is left. Hey... the noble blood of the Ajidai family is about to be cut off!

And you also know that your brother hasn’t been stable enough to believe in others since childhood, and he hasn’t changed much yet. He doesn’t have enough ability to bring today’s Sparta out of predicament. Performance, your talents have far exceeded me, I hope—"

With a crisp sound, Leotichides pulled out his short sword from the waist and pressed it against Agsilaus' neck.

"You said you were willing to use your life to compensate for your sins." Leotichides looked down at him like he was looking at a dead man, and said coldly, "I hope you don't regret it."

The dagger's sharpness penetrated the bottom of the heart, the reflected cold light pierced the eyes, and the instinctive heartbeat of the body accelerated, Agassius tried to suppress the fear of the bottom of the heart, straightened the neck, closed his eyes, and added a tone: "... I did it wrong, and I want to atone for your mother and you! After my death, I hope you can return to Sparta. Before I came, I had negotiated with the Ombudsman and the elders. You inherit the throne that should belong to you, just hope you can treat Archiddams well, he is your only-silk!"

With Agmurus grunting his teeth, his shoulder was cut with a dagger and a bloody mouth opened. He suddenly awakened the crowd watching the drama on both sides. The judge eagerly shouted: "Prow Lord Sous, stop it! Can't kill the messenger!"

Leotichides was unheard of, and pressed his dagger against Agsilaus' wound.

Agassius groaned again, his whole body trembling.

"Shut up!" the military judge shouted anxiously: "If you kill him, you will violate the military law! It will seriously damage the reputation of the kingdom! Hurry! Go up and stop him!"

Just as the generals were about to rush, Leotichides quickly withdrew his short sword, waved it, and a string of blood was thrown to the ground. He looked down at Agassius with contempt: "I thought you were not afraid of death. ."

Agassius collapsed to the ground, but he was relieved in his heart.

"There's nothing to talk about with the Spartans, drive him out of the camp." Leotichides walked back to his seat and said lightly.

Of course, the people in the account will not follow this order, otherwise in case the old King Sparta died on the way, Ionian may have become the laughing stock of the Mediterranean country, so Mukru immediately commanded the guard to lift Agassius hurried to the medical camp.

"Master Prosius, I will report to your majesty truthfully on this matter." The military judge said solemnly.

Leotichides nodded calmly, and then waved, "The meeting is over, let's dissolve."

After seeing a good show, the generals, even if they had their own ideas, left smartly and quietly at this moment, and only the leader of the First Army, Adolius, said aloud: "Master Prosius, you must not Enticed by the Spartans, threw us away and ran back to Sparta!"

Leotichides was too lazy to respond to this stupid topic before he put it aside. Even if the speaker's identity is special, when he saw that the people who were about to pay off suddenly slowed down and cast their eyes on him, He realized that he must make a statement: "You can rest assured that I will be a citizen of Dionysia until I die!"

Agsilaus' wounds were carefully disinfected and bandaged, and observed for a while, and it was determined that there was no harm before escorting him back to the seaside dock.

In addition to the crew on his boat, he also insisted on accompanying Achimdams. At this moment, he saw that his father was tied up with white cloth and was mentally depressed. He quickly stepped forward and helped, and asked angrily: "Father , Are you injured?! Did the Dionyans do it?!"

Agassius glared at him and whispered, "I'm fine, let's go back quickly!"

Although Agsilaus's tone was weak, he always said nothing at home, and Archidamus had to obey. After he helped his father sit down, he glared at the Dionysian soldiers who were monitoring them on the shore, and said with hate: "Shameless Dionysians, I remember this hatred, and one day I will double back to you!-Sail!"

After leaving the dock by boat, Agsilaus said, "The commander of the Dionysians is indeed Leotichides, and I was slashed by him..."

"It turned out to be the hand of the bastard!" said Archidams gritted his teeth: "I said before that he hated our family, and it is impossible for you to listen to you!"

"This time I have been rewarded." Agsilaus felt the bandage on his shoulder, thinking about the situation before, and said in a deep voice: "Leotichides cut my sword is not heavy, even Because I am a Spartan messenger, I feel that what I said still played a role in him... Also, when I saw him, it happened that the generals of the military account were all Dionyan generals, and they listened to me. , I am afraid that I will have some thoughts about Leotichides...but the final effect depends on the next situation...If Leotichides can care about the old feelings...or he has conflicts with his men... Or maybe King Dionia has suspicions about him... as long as we can win more time for us, my mission today is worth it."

Achimdams looked at his father's old haggard face and felt ashamed.

Agsilaus didn’t notice his son’s strangeness. He stared at the coast and said with a sigh: "The most I hope is that King Dionia will withdraw Leotichides, after all, he has The situation is too well understood! And he does change a lot now..."

The expressionless face appeared in Agassius's mind, and he subconsciously touched the bandage on his shoulder: "He has always been calm, so I can't guess the idea in his mind... No wonder he used to be like that in the past What a win, if he is our opponent, it will be very troublesome!"

"Father." Archidams said immediately with dissatisfaction: "Who really wants to fight on the battlefield to know! Wait until we recruit enough soldiers, let the Dionysians know why we Spartan It has always been the cause of Greek hegemony!"

Agsilaus knew very well that his son had always looked down on Leotichides when he was young, and often used the word "hybrid" in his mouth, so he didn't say something: he really thought Let Leotichides return to Sparta, because now Sparta is indeed a decay of talent, not comparable to Thebes and Athens. If you are Leo who is the longest of Sparta and Dionysia Tickedes can come back, and with his support, it may bring some good changes...

But Leotichides’s indifferent look from the beginning to the end prevented him from assessing the chance that this wish could be realized... He settled down and said rightly: "I risked injury this time and gained a little benefit. Since the Dionysians felt ashamed, they did not cover my eyes with cloth after the meeting, so that I could observe some of the Dionysian camp...

I have long heard that the level of medical skills of the Kingdom of Dionynia is very high, but they actually have a large clinic in the military barracks. Not only there are many doctors, but also the environment is clean and fully equipped. My wound soon Treated by them, some of the treatment methods I have not seen before, I feel now -"

Agsilaus moved his injured arm: "I don't feel pain now, but it's a bit cool, it's good. Think about it. With such a military clinic as a guarantee, the injured Dionysian soldier ulcerated because of the wound The number of people who are dead or disabled will definitely be greatly reduced, and their morale will be maintained."

"So after defeating the Dionysian army, we must try our best to seize the doctors of Dionyssia for our use!" Achimdams took the conversation, his face full of greed, as Spartan warriors who have been fighting for many years, he certainly knows the benefits of having a group of highly skilled doctors.

Agassius looked at him and continued, "I also saw countless Dionysian soldiers digging trenches and building earth barriers around their camps, and a long section of earth wall has been built- —”

"The Dionysians are strengthening their defense. Are they planning to occupy Messenia for a long time?!" Archidams took a sigh of relief: "This may be an obstacle for us to regain Messenia!"

"More importantly, the camp was built not only by Dionysian soldiers, but also by a lot of black soldiers. They did not work under the threat of a leather whip, and they seemed to get along well with those Dionysians. Agassius said somberly.

Achimdams's expression became dignified, but he looked skeptical again: "Father, do you mean that the black raiders of Messenia have turned to Dionyssia?! But it took only a few days. !"

"Those savage Italian indigenous people can submit to the Dionysians, not to mention the stupid and docile black heroes." Agsilaus said with some anxiety: "The Dionysian army has the black heroes Help, the control of Mesenia will be more powerful. We will fight against it in Mesenia, and the difficulties we will encounter will increase, and these black soldiers will also affect the stability of Sparta!"
