Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

During this difficult period, civil strife broke out in a town in the south. The king of that town led his loyal people to join Sparta. Sparta’s strength was greatly enhanced, and with their help, eventually Won the war in Laconia, and Sparta established its leadership in this area.

The Rasidian people in the villages that surrendered were then called Piriasis (the border people of the ruling city-state). They had personal freedom and the right to deal with local affairs, but there was no such thing in the Spartan city-state. Political rights, and must be placed under the supervision of military chiefs sent by Sparta to ensure that they can perform military service and cultivate royal estate.

Even if the people in the conquered villages were once compatriots, they were ruthlessly demoted to slaves. This is the original origin of Black Laoshi.

From then on, Sparta established the dual king system (one was born in the native Sparta, from the Ajidai clan; the other was the king from the south, from the Ulippuntides clan).

Now, Cloto Kataks wants to use this great opportunity to conquer Sparta to completely subvert the original political structure of Sparta and establish a new regime.

He sent envoys to the villages of the Piriassies, invited them to Sparta, and promised them: Dionia will never do them any harm, but will give them the right to participate in the formation A new Spartan.

In addition, he personally talked to the captured Piriasi soldiers and then released them.At the same time, he also sent a messenger to Messenia to recruit a group of new Messenian citizens from the Black Lao Shi, and asked them to meet the Black Lao Shi hiding in the mountains, using their own examples to persuade these fears and fears. The starving Black Rolls came down the mountain to cooperate with Dionia.

At the same time, Cloto Kataks did not talk to any Spartans.Just after he arranged these tasks and waited quietly for the arrival of the Piriasi and the Black Laoss, he suddenly received a report from the garrison in the upper defensive camp of the Urotas River: they intercepted from the north Nearly a thousand Spartan soldiers came. When they learned that Sparta had been occupied, they surrendered without fighting. Among the captured soldiers was King Agsilius of Sparta.

After hearing the news, Cloto Kataks almost jumped up with excitement: Agsilius and his army were captured, eliminating the last hint of worry in his heart. He can let go of his hands and feet in this land. Implement your own plan.

In order to prevent accidents, he also sent a heavy infantry brigade to escort these ten Spartan soldiers.

A day later, Cloto Kataks saw these prisoners at the entrance to the north of Sparta. They were ragged, unkempt, walked staggering, and seemed to fall at any time.Klotokatax now understands why the garrison company of the defensive camp can easily capture the nearly 1,000-man defeated army with only 200 men.

He and the generals focused their eyes on the leading Spartan: pale hair, beard, gray complexion, skinny, with his left leg curled up, and a crutch, staggering forward with the help of others. Only those eyes seemed enlightened.

Seeing Croto Kataks and others in front of him, the old man pushed away the supporter and walked closer stubbornly and hard.

"Dear King Agsilius!" Cloto Kataks did not assume the arrogant gesture of a winner, but said in a gentle tone: "Hello! I am Commander Dionian Crotoka. Tucks."

"I know you... the son of Daves." Agsilius looked a little calm at the moment, and said in a hoarse voice: "This time it was our Sparta who lost... I want to know how you dealt with... Our Spartan people?!"

This last sentence trembled a little, still revealing the worry in his heart.

Croto Kataks showed a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, and said in a more emphatic tone: "They have all been imprisoned. Many of them are still unwilling to accept the fact that they are defeated. They seem to have a sense of the coalition forces you lead. hope!"

Agsilius was silent for a while, then looked directly at him, and said in a deep and meaningful voice: "If you lose, you will lose. Sparta is already occupied. What can I expect... But this For decades, our Sparta has been influential throughout Greece. Dionia wants to defeat the Persian conspiracy and dominate these city-states in Greece. Our Sparta can still provide you with great help!"

This old man, known as “Spartan’s toughest main battle group,” actually showed him an attitude of wanting to cooperate actively, which surprised Cloto Kataks. He calmed down and responded: “We are right. Sparta’s disposal plan has been finalized. I believe you will know soon. I hope you will lead the people to actively cooperate."

Agsilius took a deep look at him, then looked back at the soldiers passing by him: "Okay. But before that, I hope we can take a good bath and eat a full meal. "

"Don't worry, we will arrange it." Croto Kataks said with a complicated expression: "There is good news to tell you that your son Archidamus was injured and fled into the mountains. As a result, his wound turned pus. He was infected and fell into a coma. His guards carried him out of the mountain and surrendered to us. He is now being treated by our doctor in Taga City. He was not awake when I left, but his physical condition was much better than before."

Archidamus is the only son of Agsilius, the direct bloodline of the royal family of Agassilaus. Hearing this news, Agsilius’s concern for a long time fell. He suppressed the excitement in his heart. Said: "The battle to die on the battlefield is the glory of the Spartans. Too many Spartans have died in this war! But anyway, thank you for your rescue. There can be one more true Spartan. what!"

Cloto Kataks stared at Agsilius’s back. After a while, he turned around and said to Sekerian and the others in a deep tone: "The King of Sparta is here. I’m afraid I’ve been walking around the mountains for several days. I’m so hungry. I finally walked back. I learned the bad news about the occupation of Sparta. It’s not easy to be so calm! It’s just... I hope he is here. After learning about our plan to reorganize Sparta, we can still maintain this calmness!"

The bit of resentment revealed in Croto Catacs's voice surprised Sekelian. Of course he did not know that Croto Catacs blamed Adoris for the death of Spartan commander in chief. Geshelaus.

Part of the Black Laomen who fled to the mountains followed the advice of the messengers from Messiania and returned to Sparta one after another. As the messenger said, the Dionian army instead of arresting them, instead arranged for them. Housing, food distribution, which prompted more starving black Lao Shi to run down the mountain.

After listening to the persuasion of the Dionian messenger, the people of the various Piriasi villages sent their own representatives to Sparta to discuss matters.

A few days later, Cloto Catacs invited the representatives of Piriasi and Black Rolls into the Chamber of Sparta, and let them sit on the wooden chairs where the elders of Sparta sat. on.

After everything was ready, Croto Kataks stood in front of the venue and looked at the fidgeting delegates. He said gently, "Everyone, today is an important day for you. First of all, please Allow me to call you Rasidians. Don’t be surprised. Whether you are Piriasis or you Black Laoss, they were once the same race as the Spartans, just a few hundred years ago. The ancestors suffered defeat in the war against Sparta to unify Ragnia. Not only did you lose your land and rights, you were also deprived of your true ethnic name. Those who surrendered became Piriasis and were captured. 'S became a Black Rolls——"

At this point, there was a lot of commotion in the venue.

Although the Piriasi people have a bit of inheritance, the true history has long been obscured in the past hundreds of years. Contrary to what the Spartans have always deliberately preached, in the generations of Piriasi people The memory became clearer and clearer: they were immigrants from outside who were allowed to settle on the border of this land after reaching an agreement with the Spartans.

The situation is even worse for the Black Rollers. They have been slaves for generations. The Spartans will never let them read and read. Therefore, most of them are illiterate. Under the club education of the Spartans, they will spend their entire lives. They all have to work hard for the Spartans. They don’t know the history of their race, and they don’t even know the names of their parents. They live numbly, without hope...

But today, someone suddenly told them: "You and the Spartans were once the masters of this land!" This completely subverted their previous cognition, and everyone was shocked as never before.

They discussed each other suspiciously, even courageously asking Cloto Kataks.

"Our Dionian scholars have specially studied the history of Sparta, and obtained some very precious information, which can fully prove that you were all Rassidy dreams. If you want to see it, wait for the Greek When the situation stabilizes, I will invite you to read these treasures at Turye’s library.

What I want to tell you now is that the reason why the Dionian army captured Messenia was to regain the independence of the Messenians who were once enslaved by the Spartans. You have communicated with them before. Knowing that we Dionia has done what we said

And now one of the important reasons for Dionia to conquer Sparta is to let you who are now enslaved regain your lost land and rights and become the true masters of Lagnia!"
