Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

At first Agcilius planned to strengthen the defenses on both sides of the North and South, and completely prevented the Dionian army from outside the country. This was a passive military defense that had to be adopted because of insufficient troops.Agsilius understood that it could not last. Sparta, which was only passively beaten, would inevitably be rejected by the allies and lose its hegemony. So after the Persian reinforcements landed in Corinth, he saw a victory over Dionia. The army’s chance of victory, only then took the risk of taking the main force to go north. He was originally prepared to withdraw to the defense once the battle failed, but it was counterproductive...

When the Dionian army built a camp in Arcadia before, the soldiers of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade sneaked into the northern part of the Spartan territory and got a preliminary understanding of Spartan’s defenses in the north, so the two companies of the 7th Army Explore carefully along the river valley.

As a result, when I arrived at the Spartan defense camp, I found that it turned out to be an empty camp!The company captain was puzzled and surprised, and immediately occupied the camp. At the same time, the more curious division of troops continued to explore the south, and just hit the fleet of infantry sent by Cyclaon to the north to confess the good news to the main force of Dionia.

Now that Croto Kataks saw this report, his mood was a bit complicated. He finally won a grand battle, and soon he was able to take the great glory of conquering Sparta into his arms, but he did not expect This glory has been taken away by the First Fleet first, even though the First Fleet is under his command in name.

As the Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Plintors didn’t care much about the issues of the army and the navy and the issue of military merit. He was more accustomed to considering issues from a strategic level. Mind, softly comforted: "From the battle report, the 1st Fleet’s landing operations were arranged carefully and ingeniously, but even so, they paid a considerable price. It can also be seen that the Spartan left-behind army still has not weak combat effectiveness.

According to previous investigations, the Spartans’ defenses on the northern side of the territory are also very tight, and the mountains on the north are vertical and horizontal, which is not conducive to our army’s offensive and makes it easier for the Spartans to defend. If you want to enter Spartan from the north, you must Will pay a lot of casualties, and it is likely to make the battle longer!The situation in Greece is now complex, and the more time is delayed, the more disadvantaged it is for us.

Fortunately, Sekerian strictly implemented your order and launched the landing operation in time...so that we have enough time to calmly deal with the challenges of other Greek city-states."

After listening to this, Cloto Kataks was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed at himself and said calmly: "Master Printoles, I admit that I am a little jealous of the 1st Fleet's conquest of Sparta. But I want to 1 The success of the fleet actually has nothing to do with my order. The main thing is the ability of Lord Sekerian. No wonder his father praised him as one of the best military commanders in the kingdom!

But you’re right. The 1st Fleet’s ability to conquer Sparta so quickly is a good thing for our army and for the kingdom, so we should happily accept Sekerian’s invitation and rush to Sparta. , Deal with post-war matters as soon as possible, and meet new challenges."

Plintors was surprised that the still young prince could change his mentality so quickly.

During this period of time with Cloto Kataks, the prince who was stable, unassuming, hardworking, able to listen to opinions with an open mind, and good at getting along with others impressed Plintors very deeply. But he was still a little surprised that the young prince was able to change his mentality so quickly, and he was more optimistic about his future. At the same time, he said to him: "I suggest that your Royal Highness tell the soldiers now, although it will cause them to be The fleet’s dissatisfaction, but when they arrive in Sparta, they may have adapted and will not have any conflict with the soldiers of the First Fleet."

Cloto Kataks agreed to Printoles's suggestion and immediately relayed the news.

Before long, it really caused a commotion in the army. Despite the restrictions of military laws and officers, which did not affect the march, the soldiers of the Legion continued to curse the 1st Fleet along the way, and it also made Croto Cataxidi. Once deeply aware of the contradictions between the Dionian navy and the army and the soldiers' deep desire for honor.

When it was about to reach the southern border of Tagaia and rendezvous with Taginos, the army encountered members of the Arcadian Alliance.

After the battle was over, Croto Kataks was busy dealing with post-war matters and did not send anyone to notify the Arcadian Alliance.The guides of Mandinia were eager to return to their home country and told the council of Commander Dionia's decision, but they did not go to Megalopolis.

The members of the Arcadian Union saw the mighty crowd returning from Tagaia and passing through the territory of Megalopolis on the second day. There were Dionian troops and thousands of prisoners. It was only after inquiring that the Dionian army had a large-scale battle with Sparta yesterday and won the final victory.

Of course, they were also surprised to know: in this decisive battle between Dionian and Sparta, the Taigya suddenly betrayed and attacked the flank of Dionian's army, causing a lot of trouble. So The enraged Dionian army captured Taigeya after the war, captured the people who were still alive, and sent them back to Messenia.

The members of the Arcadian Union were shocked by the cruel decision made by the Dionians. We must know that among them there are three members from Taigea, even though they repeatedly requested and protested, the escort Dionia was The soldiers also refused to release the prisoners.Therefore, the Arcadian councillors headed by Lu Komedes had no choice but to rush to Taigeya, preparing to intercede with the commander of the Dionian army, and they happened to meet halfway through.

Facing the Arcadia councillors' request to meet, Cloto Kataks felt a headache.After the battle that day, he was overly angry due to Adoris’s fighting. He gave such an order. After a day, he was relatively stable. He regretted that the order was too cruel, but the order has been executed and the soldiers have also received the order. Welcome, any more arbitrary changes will only weaken his authority, so he can only admit it regardless, but now he is embarrassed by the suffering master chasing after the door to ask for an explanation.

Plintors saw his embarrassment and offered to represent him to meet these members of the Arcadian Union.

Croto Kataks thanked him.

Plintors ran out of the team on horseback and rushed to the side of the road ahead. When he saw the members of the Arcadian councilors, his face looked like frost, and he said angrily: "The Arcadian people were Your request won our trust, and the kingdom formed an alliance with you, so when Mandinia was under siege, we sent a large army to rescue.

On the way, we learned that another ally, Taigeya was also attacked by the Spartans and was in danger. So in order to rescue Taigeya, despite the fatigue of the march, we fought a battle with the Spartans. Who knows This is a conspiracy!

Damn the Taga!They colluded with Sparta, set up a trap, and sent troops to attack the side of our army during the battle, causing the army to pay a heavy price of more than 3,000 casualties!Moreover, General Adoris, the son of our great Majesty Daves, died because of this!

The Taigeya collectively betrayed the covenant and violated the sacred oath, and of course they must be severely punished!It is still unknown whether this punishment can calm your majesty's anger caused by grief.Anyone who knows the past history of Dionia should know that our Holy Kingdom of Dionia keeps its promises, but also hates betrayers!Now Taigeya betrays at a critical time, we have to express deep doubts about whether your city-state can fulfill the covenant!..."

The appearance of Printors assaulting his guilt surprised the members of the Arcadian League. They did not expect that Taigeya's betrayal caused such serious consequences: more than 3,000 casualties, equivalent to the young and middle-aged population of their city-state The number of casualties of Dionian soldiers!Even the son of King Dionia died in battle!

Nowadays, the Dionian army has defeated the Spartan coalition forces in the battle. They have already demonstrated to them the power of Dionian. The Arcadian councillors who have begun to fear its force are really worried that King Dionian will be angry with them. Their city-states began to express their views: "We Mandinians and Sparta are mortal feuds, and we are also the proponents of this covenant. It is absolutely impossible for Taigeya to betray you Dionia!"

The same is true for us in Frios. The Spartan mercenaries destroyed our villages and destroyed our fields. Our people hate the Spartans so much that it is impossible to cooperate with the Spartans!"

"Since we Okomenus swear an oath in the name of a god and signed an alliance agreement with Dionia, we will inevitably abide by this agreement within the time limit and will never regret it!"

...

The members of Arcadia were eager to defend themselves and prove their innocence. They completely left the purpose of this trip behind. Only the Taigeya pleaded loudly: "General, we admit that the Taigeya made a big mistake, but I am afraid that many of them were not voluntary, but were coerced by the Spartans and the pro-Spartan nobles of the Taigeya. They have to do so! I hope you can forgive them for their sins. The Taigeya will certainly be grateful. I will do my best to assist the Dionian allies in the future!..."

Plintors looked at these Taigeya councillors with an unusually pitying look, and said softly: "You don't know yet, before our army has arrived at Taigeya, Taigeya kisses The Badaists colluded with the Spartans and incited the people to wantonly kill all the anti-Spartans and their relatives in the city. After we broke through the city of Taga, only a handful of survivors were found. They were the only ones who were not punished. People, are currently receiving treatment in the city, I hope Hades bless you, among them are your relatives..."
