Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Are you saying that the Black Heroes in our territory will be rebelled by their influence?!" Aqi Damus's expression became solemn: The Black Heroes' rebellion was not without precedent, the second and third This is how the Sub-Meseria War happened.

"Father, after you go back, you have to propose to the council to strengthen the control of the black raiders, and if necessary, implement several more killings to achieve the purpose of deterrence."

Regarding the slaughter of black heroes at random, Archidams said as easily as slaughtering cattle and sheep. Agsirous did not feel strange, but nodded his approval.

Agsilaus continued: "On the way to the pier, I also saw the Dionysians carrying the load to the camp. Not only did the heavy load carry a large number of carts and labor, but also some soldiers, team officers and Artisans, they are mainly responsible for escort, command and maintenance. Although the entire transportation team is relatively large, it is very orderly and does not see a little confusion... I have long heard that the Dionysian army is also equipped with a transportation team. It’s time to see for yourself—”

"Father, it’s no wonder that the Dionysian army has a dedicated transport team. Didn’t the Persians have it? We haven’t been defeated many times by us! (The Greeks usually have soldiers bringing their own rations. After eating, either scrape the local food, or the commander will come forward to open a market near the station, and merchants everywhere will bring food and materials to the station to facilitate the soldiers to buy)"

Achimdams disagreed and said: "Look at what your father said, it's hospital and transport team. I think the Dionysians have maintained the logistics of the army so well, can their soldiers still endure hardship? We must know that the victory of the war will ultimately be seen on the battlefield. Only an army that has undergone arduous training and is not afraid of death can win the final victory!"

Akidamus was obviously confident in the fighting power of the Spartan fighters, and Agassius had to say in a deep voice: "I said this to tell you that the Dionysian army and other Greeks we encountered before City-state armies are different, and we must take it seriously. Today’s Spartans can’t stand a failure...cough...cough..."

"You are right, I know. You have just been injured, take a good rest, and stop talking." Achimdams replied a few words and turned to the bow.

Agassius sighed helplessly, and he saw the perfunctory of his son, which is why he was over 60 years old, frail and sick, and had to lead the army to fight everywhere. So rest assured!

He looked at the coast in the distance, thinking about what he had seen in the Dionysian barracks before. The worries on his face had become heavier, and the thought in his heart had risen again: If Leotichides could really return To Sparta...

…………………………………………

Mukruk returned to the camp, entered the military account, and found Leotichides still sitting on the throne, motionless, and seemed to be thinking about something.

He stepped forward and said softly, "Master Commander, that... The Spartan messenger has been treated by the medical camp and it is all right. He has already gone by boat..."

Leotichides seemed to have recovered at this time, looked up at him, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Mukru coughed softly: "The Spartan messenger has been sent away."

Leotichides nodded without speaking, and the whole person was immersed in thought again.

Although Leotichides had the habit of often pondering during the war, Mukru, who had worked with him for many years, still felt that he was a bit wrong at the moment, and he did not have the uncomfortable feeling of the past. He remembered that he had been there. The incident also made a joke about Leotichides, saying that Leotichides always thought about how to defeat the enemy, but this momentum affected the people around him.

Is he thinking now... that his uncle... Just as Mukroufu thought about it, the sound of Leotichides sounded in his ear: "Help me get paper and pen."

After Mukru took it in a hurry, he asked, "What order should I give?"

Leotichides looked at him, a little firmer in his gentle tone: "There is no order, I want to write a letter to Your Majesty."

The slightly disturbed Mukru didn't ask much and walked out of the tent.

Papyrus has been spread on the table, and the pen is also stained with ink, but Leotichides has not moved, and in his mind the mother’s suicide alternates with the picture of Agassius kneeling in front of him. Appeared, it can be said that Agassius's visit caused him a lot of trouble, not because he completely believed in Agassius's words, but Agsilaus's kneel confessed his mistake and cut him The sword of Agsilaus has already made his years of hatred disappear a lot. At the moment, his heart is empty and untouched, and the pictures of life in Sparta are also turned from the depths of memory...

In fact, in Dionysia for so many years, Leotichides kept the pride of being a Spartan warrior, but now this pride suddenly turned into a complicated nostalgia for his hometown, making him lose his The desire to continue this battle, and he is well aware that after this incident other generals and soldiers have more suspicions about him, leading such an army to fight in this state, the result may be very bad!

Leotichides took a deep breath and resolutely raised the pen.

After the call of the Arcadia Alliance's request for help from Athens was rejected, he turned to Thebes.At this moment, the news of the "Dionysian army's capture of Mesenia" spread to Peloponnese and quickly spread to Central and Northern Greece.

Yiasong, who has been closely watching the situation in the south, was very surprised when he heard the news. In the past, he heard about this newly rising Western Mediterranean power, but his feelings are not deep. After all, this country’s influence on the mainland of Greece The force was minimal, but this time it dared to declare war directly against Sparta, and also gained an advantage, making him realize that the power of Dionysia may not be a lie, so he suspended the military action he was preparing to decide and decided to first Observe the development of the situation in the south, and then make plans.

He sent a lot of spies to the Peloponnese Peninsula to listen to the news, and he also tried his best to collect information about the Kingdom of Dionysia. Most of the time he was in Philae’s mansion and his men based on the constant information. To analyze the situation in the south, so he reduced the number of inspections to military camps outside the city, so he spent the day in the city safely. The day he was killed by stabbing in the previous life.

For the Thebes government, the request of the messengers of the Arcadia alliance made them difficult, whether it was to follow the "enemy enemy is a friend" approach, or from a strategic point of view, the establishment of the Arcadia alliance was It is a great thing for Thebes. It greatly weakens the power of Sparta. As long as Thebes and the Arcadia Union can unite, they can completely suppress Sparta in Peloponnese. .

However, Cesari in the north is fighting hard. The news about "Ya Song is going to lead the army south" is clamouring. Even Thebes, who had an alliance with Jason, felt great pressure and sent a messenger to Philae. To find out, but Jason has been perfunctory and did not give a clear answer, which made Thebes more alert.

Even if Peropidas and Ipamilunda insisted on sending reinforcements to support the Arcadia Alliance, but they were strongly opposed by others in the council, their reasons are very good: when the security of Thebes cannot be ensured Under the circumstance, the citizens of Thebes who had suffered the loss of the city will never agree to join the army and leave the Pioxia region, and other Pioxia city-states allied with Thebes will not agree for the same reason. Send reinforcements.

In the previous life, Thebes also hesitated about this matter for a long time. It was not until Jason was assassinated and Cesali's civil strife that Thebes made up his mind to reinforce the Arcadia Alliance.In this life, Yiasong has been safe and sound. Although the military mobilization in Thessaly has stopped, but the pressure has always been there, how can the Thebes dare to carelessly.

But when the news of "Dionia captured Messenia" came, the Thebes were overjoyed and felt deeply: compared to the confederate confederate in the north and the newly confederated kingdom in the west Undoubtedly more reliable.

After the Battle of Ruktra, the Thebes, led by Ipamironda, wanted to use this victory to take advantage of the opportunity to expand the results, but due to the obstruction of Jason, plus other reasons, they were helpless with Spartan Darda signed a truce, but he was very unwilling in his heart. Now Dionysia directly gave Sparta a heavy blow. The Spartans will inevitably turn the center of attack to the Dionysian army, Thebes The military pressure on both the north and the south was suddenly greatly relieved. The excited Thebes decided to send a messenger to Mesenia to console the Dionysian army.

Ipa Milunda took the initiative to invite tassels.

At the same time, Peropidas solemnly told the Arcadia Alliance messengers: Although Thebes was temporarily unable to support the Arcadia Alliance, Thebes sympathized with the Arcadian situation and was willing to admit Arcadia The Dia Alliance is also willing to form an alliance with it, and will also send envoys to Mesenia to persuade the Alliance Dionia to assist the Arcadia Alliance to repel the upcoming invasion of the Spartans.

The Arcadia Ambassador was excited to hear this, and the entire Ambassador immediately divided into two parts: one part stayed in Thebes to discuss the formation of alliances, and the other followed the Thebes envoy to the south to Mesenia.

"I really didn't expect that Prosius was actually Prince Sparta!" In the palace hall of the palace, Davos patted a stack of letters, all of which came from the army in the far reaches of Mesenia. Secret reports from the department, letters from the head of the army such as Olivers, letters from the military judge... The top letter was written by Leotichides himself.
