Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

At this moment, hearing the figure Plintors spit out, and seeing the Dionian army marching indefinitely ahead, the Arcadian councillors felt that even if the figures said by the other party were watery, there should be no difference. too much.

As a result, the level of importance that the parliamentarians paid to Dionia once again rose to a higher level, and even some people temporarily suppressed other thoughts in their hearts.

"General Cloto Kataks, let me introduce you to the members of our alliance." Lycomides' voice broke the sudden silence.

"Great!" Croto Kataks nodded with a smile.

"This one is Meletus of Mandinia..."

"Nice to meet you!"

...

Cloto Kataks had a sincere expression, sincere speech, and elegant manners, which left a better impression on the congressmen who introduced him, and the atmosphere became friendly.

At this moment, there was a small commotion among the congressmen, followed by complaints: "Hey, you two don't squeeze forward in a hurry. You will be introduced later."

Lu Komedes was taken aback, and looked back hurriedly, wanting to know who was so impolite and embarrassed the Alliance.

Suddenly there was a shout in my ear: "Your Highness, be careful!"

Then, he saw the guards on the left and right sides of Commander Dionia in front of him suddenly rush forward. At the same time, the two councillors beside him were pushed down by force and brought him down. Someone came from behind. He came out and was stepping on his hand when he landed, and the pain was deep into the bone.

But he resisted the severe pain and eagerly shouted: "Be careful, there are assassins!!"

The two who rushed out of the crowd were holding bright daggers and rushed to Crotoklotoks viciously.

The two court guards had already stood in front of him, drawn their swords out of their sheaths, and stabbed at each other.

One of them was stabbed down immediately, and the other burly assassin turned sideways slightly, avoiding the vital point, and he just took the sword, and then, by the inertia of the forward rush, smashed the guards blocking the front.

At this moment, Printors on the side flew a kick and was kicking on his ankle. He immediately fell forward. The short sword stuck on the breastbone hit the ground and pierced his chest. The assassin immediately Lost his breath, the dagger in his hand fell to the feet of Cloto Kataks.

Croto Kataks has experienced several assassinations like this, but these are more dangerous. His expression is still calm, he picked up the dagger and looked at it, and then pushed away the long shield that the guards gave him. , Thanks to the guards and Printors who intercepted the assassins.

"When I was young, I came from the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade. It's rare to have a chance to fight the enemy in these years." Plintors said jokingly, trying to make him relax.

Cloto Catacs hurriedly stepped forward and helped Lu Komedes up again. In the process, the court guards in the rear rushed up, holding swords and shields, and took the dozens of Arcadia Union councilors in panic. Surrounded.

After Lycomides got up, there was no time to thank him, and regardless of the pain in his right hand, he ran towards the two assassins who fell on the ground, but was stopped by guards.

"Let me see them! Let me see them!" Lu Komedes yelled eagerly.

Croto Kataks nodded and agreed.

Lycomides first looked at the assassin who was pierced by the sword, and then he went to look at the assassin who was chopped to the neck and bleeding.

The assassin's mind was almost in a coma, and he kept murmuring in his mouth.

Lycomides ignored Bolton's blood, and listened closely: "The Lord of the gods...Zeus is above...the great and loving...Zeus bless...The Lord of the gods...Zeus is above..."

Since the assassin was dying, he did not dare to ask aloud, but frowned and thought for a while, then turned around, and said to Cloto Kataks with a serious face: "Please trust us! Our Arcadia Alliance It would never have just been forging an alliance to send someone to assassinate allies at this critical juncture!"

Cloto Kataks looked at the panicked Arcadia Senators, stepped forward without any hesitation, and exclaimed in a serious tone: "I believe you-Dionia's allies! This may be somewhat The forces are afraid to see us forming an alliance, so they will adopt this despicable way to make us who just formed an alliance suspect each other!"

After speaking, he waved his hand, and the court guards immediately put away their swords and shields and began to retreat, but there were still guards on both sides of Klotokataks to keep alert.

Lu Komedes breathed a sigh of relief for a while, then looked at the congressmen and said loudly: "Aguirus, come here to see if you know these two assassins. I just listened to their accents and it felt like People to the west of you."

"This is absolutely impossible!" Aguirus walked out from the crowd and looked at Lycomides angrily, but he walked quickly to the two assassins and carefully identified them, and then lay on the ground to listen. Finally he Standing up, he said confidently to Cloto Kataks: "These two assassins are by no means a citizen of Okomenus! But I can roughly guess where they came from!"

"Where do you come from?" Lu Kemedes asked urgently.

Aguirus said with a slightly complicated expression: "It should be near Olympia. The people there have a slightly different name for the god Zeus..."

"Oh, you said that, I remember it!" Lukemedes suddenly realized, he hesitated for a moment, and then said to Cloto Catacs: "These two assassins are probably sent by the Pizza. Because they are loyal allies of the Spartans, but it is also possible that they are the self-assertion of the Olympians..."

Although Lycomides did not finish his words, Cloto Catacs already understood the meaning of his words: because Dionia regards Hades as the kingdom’s patron saint and also enshrines him as one of the Greek gods. Lord, this is obviously very different from the native Greek view of gods, especially for the Olympians who have the most magnificent temple of Zeus, hold the most grand games dedicated to Zeus in Greece, and have the most pious Zeus followers in Greece. The belief of the Dionians is hatred!

Klotokatax subconsciously looked at the Temple of Zeus, which was still under construction in the new city of Megalopolis. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to promote the treatment of the Kingdom of Dionian on various beliefs and religions. He treated him equally. He did not do anything like this in Rome, but after thinking about it, he dismissed his idea and said, "Now that everything is clear, Pisa and Olympia sent people to assassinate me in an attempt to destroy Dio. The alliance between Nia and Arcadia prevents our Dionian army from adding reinforcements to Arcadia. We must not let their conspiracy succeed! We must repel the invading Spartans as soon as possible, and then look back for Pisa. People settle accounts!"

"That's right! Mandinia is now being besieged by the Spartans, they are in urgent need of rescue!" a Mandinia MP said eagerly.

Other MPs also rushed to agree, and everyone wanted to get out of this strange and embarrassing atmosphere.

"How is the situation in Mandinia now?" Cloto Catacs looked at Lucomides. He had negotiated an alliance agreement with the leader of Mandinia for two days. He was impressed by his stability and vision, so he was more willing to believe what he said.

Lu Komedes looked at his colleagues in Mandinia, and said in a heavy tone: "We Mandinians have learned the lessons of the last destroyed city. The new city designed and built should be said to be very strong and not afraid of the enemy. The long-term siege, but... We did not expect that the number of soldiers employed by Spartans would be so large and well-equipped. If the Spartans continue to attack, we are very worried that the city of Mandinia will not be able to resist for a long time. This is likely to happen, because the Spartans hate us Mandinia! Once Mandinia falls, I am afraid that this time the whole city will be slaughtered by the Spartans!"

Cloto Kataks nodded sympathetically, and was about to speak, when Printors next to him asked first: "How many people are there in the Spartan army besieging Mandinia?"

"Combined with the reports of the messengers who have ventured to report several times in the city, the number of soldiers in the Spartan army is about 20,000, and the heavy infantry is no less than 6,000. They also have more than 1,000 cavalry..." Replied.

Plintors compared what he said with the information detected by the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade, with a general understanding of his heart, and then motioned to Cloto Kataks with his eyes.

Cloto Kataks had calmed down at this time, because he almost made a promise just now because of impulse, he made a gesture of please say with a little guilt.

Plintors immediately asked again: "For the invasion of the Spartans, what is your Arcadian Alliance's response plan?"

"After receiving the news of the Spartan invasion, our alliance has begun military mobilization of the entire region." Lycomides said solemnly: "But Spartan mercenaries came from the northeast of Arcadia. The southeastern part of Arcadia is adjacent to Sparta. Therefore, the citizens of the entire eastern city-state must first guard their city. It is estimated that the alliance can gather only more than 3,000 troops, and at least four or five. It takes only days to come together, and then we will lead this army to rescue Mandynia, but compared with the Spartan army, our number is too small...so in order to repel the Spartans, we urgently need Your help!"

"It's not just about rescuing Mandinia. If Spartan's own army also attacked from the south, it might directly threaten this place! The words of another Congressman immediately resonated with everyone.

Plintors looked at these worried-faced members of the Arcadian Union and exclaimed: "The reinforcements of Dionia are moving eastward. It is estimated that they will arrive at the border of the Taga region this afternoon (the region is Spartan Territory is adjacent), we will build a camp there, and try our best to build the camp to the east to block the way to Taigeya.
