Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

In this way, the camp can become a camp and ration storage place for the Dionian army in the Arcadia area, and it is also to protect the place and defend the Spartan army from the north or south to avoid their threats. To the new city of Megalopolis."

Having said this, he looked at Lu Komedes and solemnly said: "It will take at least three days to build the camp. After the camp is basically completed, His Royal Highness Cloto Kataks will lead the main force to continue eastward through Tiger. Ya, go north to rescue Mandinia and defeat the Spartans..."

His words caused a commotion among the members of the Arcadia. Everyone talked in a low voice for a while, and they all agreed with the Dionian plan and thought they were more thoughtful.

The first person to respond was Lu Komedes, because he understood why the other party would look at him and speak, he immediately stated: "We Mandinians are confident that we can hold on for at least one month!"

Then someone said: "After our soldiers are assembled, we will definitely rush to Mandinia as soon as possible to fight with the Spartans with you."

Printoles responded with a serious face: "Our soldiers are very happy to have the opportunity to fight side by side with Arcadian citizens! But based on the current situation, I have a suggestion for your reference... This is your alliance. There are also many villages around the center, but they lack adequate protection. Although we will build camps in the east to prevent the Spartans from invading, we are not familiar with the geographical environment here. We don’t know that the Spartans will I will not climb over the mountains, bypass the camp, and raid Megalopolis... So I suggest that your army be stationed here, and defend the Spartan raids with the army that we stay in the camp..."

When Plintors made this suggestion, Cloto Kataks was surprised because it was a bit different from the plan they had negotiated before, but he suppressed doubts and did not raise an objection on the spot.

The words of Plintors made the Arcadian councillors a little moved. After a brief discussion, they agreed.

At this time, their attitude towards Cloto Catacs was greatly changed, and they became more enthusiastic. After all, the Spartans are now invading the territory of the Arcadians, but now it is Dionia. The army completely blocked the front, avoiding too many casualties of the Arcadians, and they will inevitably feel guilty.

After Cloto Katax and the others bid farewell to the Arcadian councilors and mounted their horses to chase the army, Printoles took the initiative to explain to the young commander: "Your Highness, please forgive me just now. Advocating without authorization has changed the previously negotiated plan."

The previous Dionian military plan was: Let the Arcadian Alliance send an army to fight side by side with the Dionian army. This will enhance the friendship between the two sides and have the Arcadian army as a guide. The Dionian army quickly integrated into this unfamiliar war zone.

"I think Lord Priintoles must have done this for an important reason." Croto Kataks said gently.

The reason why Printors dared to make propositions and change plans temporarily was because after this period of time he got along with Croto Kataks, he had a deeper understanding of his habit of thinking about others. Cloto Kataks was considerate and gave him a reassurance, but also made him determined to assist the young prince.

Plintors lifted his spirits and said earnestly: "His Royal Highness, although you did not investigate the assassination just now in order not to affect our alliance with the Arcadian Alliance, even if the assassin came from Olympia , How did they know that we will meet with members of the Arcadia Alliance today? How did they put on Bolton the same color as the Arcadian Councillors, escaped the inspection by the Arcadian soldiers, and got into the team Of?...These can't help but cause us to think deeply, because it will affect our next battle with the Spartans?"

"You mean..." Cloto Catacs thoughtfully: "There are spies among those Arcadia councillors?"

Plintors further reminded: "The Arcadia Alliance has just been established, but the alliance between these Arcadian city-states and Sparta has lasted for decades. It is among all the allies of Sparta. The longest lasting and strongest relationship. Although they have betrayed Sparta now, I think there is no shortage of people close to Sparta in their country..."

Cloto Kataks thought seriously for a moment, and then hesitated: "You are worried that when we fight with the Arcadians, they will... suddenly become friends and enemies? That's why you suggested that The Arcadian army stayed at Megalopolis and would not let them join us?"

"His Royal Highness." Plintors said sincerely: "In the previous wars of the kingdom, the wise majesty has repeatedly instigated the enemy's internal rebellion, thus shortening the time to win the final victory. Because of this, we must be more careful. The enemy uses this strategy on us, especially now that we have to fight with all the mighty Spartans, if the allies on our side suddenly attack us, the consequences will be unimaginable... To be on the safe side, it is safer for us to prevent the Arcadians from participating in the frontal battle.

What's more, with our army's current strength enough to deal with the Spartans, without the drag of the Arcadian army, we will command the army more smoothly and fight more resolutely!"

"I see. Thank you Lord Priintoles for reminding me. I agree to implement the new plan." Croto Kataks also seemed a little suspicious: "It's just...without the assistance of the Allied forces, we will be next How can we get the help of the local people in the battle? And not be regarded as an enemy by them?"

"Your Highness, not all Arcadian city-states have had close relations with the Spartans in the past."

Plintors' reminder made Cloto Catacs' eyes brighten: "You mean Mandinia!... It seems that we have to send someone to have a talk with Lycomides during the construction of the camp. , I hope he can send us some Mandinians as guides."

"Yes, Your Highness." Plintors said respectfully, not artificial, but from the heart.In his opinion, although the young prince lacks military experience, he is not only good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates, but he can quickly draw inferences from one another after making a call. He is by no means a puppet that can be fooled, he deserves to have the god Hades. Blood.

At this time, they have caught up with the marching troops.

The soldiers who had been marching for a long time had already sang the "Song of the Legion" under the command of the team officers. Cloto Kataks immediately rode up to the marching column, and sang with the soldiers regardless of their status. Shaking his head when excited, not only did not make the soldiers feel funny, but made them feel kind.

The heroic and heroic singing washed away the fatigue of the soldiers and echoed in the hills and mountains, allowing the councilors of Arcadia to stop and listen. Although the lyrics were not clear, it did not affect them to exclaim: "Dionian soldiers The morale is high!"

"Not only is morale high, you look at their equipment, look at their march, this is a well-trained army, they are fully capable of fighting Sparta!"

"Is it just a confrontation?! You and I have fought with the Spartans many times. The Spartans are indeed well-trained, but how many are they! Look at this Dionian army, it's been so long. , I haven’t seen the end of the line yet! The number that General Dionia said is probably correct. Their number of soldiers exceeds 30,000, and the few Spartans are probably not their opponents!"

"Can you tell the combat effectiveness of the army just by watching the march? I think that in the end, the two sides have to fight before they know the strength!"

"Anyway, with a powerful Dionia as an ally, we will feel very relieved!"

"Don't forget, the powerful Sparta used to be our ally, but why do we have to form an alliance? Hey! I am afraid that an old wolf king will be driven away and a new wolf king will usher in!"

"The point is that this new wolf king is not the same as ours. They think Hades is the lord of all gods! Otherwise, why did the Olympians assassinate the Dionian commander! Everyone, don't forget Zeus is also the protector of our Arcadian Alliance!"

As soon as he said this, there was silence around him.

Lycomides hurriedly said loudly: "Everyone, it is very clear in our agreement with Dionia that the two sides respect their respective religious beliefs and will never slander or interfere with each other... Don't worry about this at all! The Bada army is coming and it is related to the survival of the alliance. We need a powerful ally, Dionia to help us repel the enemy. This is what we should do most at this time. Other things can be temporarily ignored!"

"Lycomeds is right!" Some members of the assembly shouted in agreement, but some members remained silent.

Lu Komedes was a little helpless. This is the status quo of the alliance. These days, he has spent too much energy to convince them, and now he is a little tired...

Peropidas had just visited at the Ipamirunda mansion in Thebes.

"Ipamilunda, what's the matter with you in the past two days? Every time a meeting is over, you disappear immediately. What are you doing in hiding at home?!" When Peropidas saw Ipamilunda, Just put on the look of wanting to inquire about sin.

Ipamironda knew his best friend and said faintly: "The home is quiet, which helps me calm down and think."
