Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1148

[Chapter 97 Recognition]

“In addition, you have to send someone to inform Ticias and let him lead the people from Tyndares to persuade and mobilize as many Heros as possible to help us unload the cargo on the cargo ship…”

Mukru Take orders.

Leoticides said to Adoris again: “You go and inform the soldiers of the First Legion not to pursue the enemy, nor to march north, immediately gather at the Spartan army camp, and seize the time to expand that camp.

And

.

It also needs to be confirmed with one’s own eyes in order to make defensive arrangements.

……….

_ Foreign enemies invaded, and the Spartan barracks in Messinia had insufficient defense facilities and were relatively crude), so he decisively issued two more orders: first, he handed over the command of the army to the adjutant, and let him lead the soldiers to retreat to Thailand The Lagunda Pass in the Getos Mountains, as far as possible to allow Sparta, an army of more than 400 people composed of real Spartan warriors, to be preserved; secondly, he sent messengers to the city of Pylos on the west coast. , told the soldiers in the city that the Dionysian army had landed in Messenia and ordered it to abandon the small city and retreat north as soon as possible.

But he himself decided to stay, even if he died in battle at the gate of the barracks, he would never escape, because he knew very well that even though the enemy’s army was large, and for the sake of preserving strength, it was completely justifiable to retreat. , but the loss of Messenia is definitely a big thing for the Spartans. The resentment and rumors of the people will always surround him. As a former member of the King’s Guard and a veteran of more than 20 years, he will never be ‘s honor was slandered.

It’s a pity that he only killed one Dionian soldier, was stabbed in the thigh by a javelin thrown by the enemy, and became a prisoner, despicable Dionian!

At this moment, he was held by two soldiers and led into the large tent. Under the candlelight in the tent, he saw a Dionysian general in black armor sitting in front of him: he had a very short There is no beard on the lower jaw. I heard that the Dionians have a strange habit of not storing beards and hair, but the appearance of this person will not be less than 50 years old… Huh?

what!

“Spartans, tell me, how many soldiers have you deployed in Messenia? How many are Spartans?” Leoticides asked coldly.

Dorios didn’t answer, he just stared at Leoticides’ face, and even couldn’t help but take a few steps forward.

The guards on both sides immediately grabbed him and shouted sternly: “Lord Commander is asking you something, answer quickly!”

Dorios tried hard to break free from the soldiers’ control,

and shouted excitedly: “Leoticid S? You are Leoticides!”

Leoticides was abruptly surprised, he thought he had changed a lot after leaving Sparta for so many years, and most of the Spartans who knew him back then were probably not dead , that is, he has already retired, and it is impossible to recognize him on the battlefield, but he did not expect that his identity would be revealed as soon as he set foot on the land of Peloponnese.

Mukru next to him immediately shouted loudly: “This is Lord Prossius, the commander of the Dionian army, who once led his army to defeat the Carthaginian army, captured Syracuse, and conquered Gaul… It’s Dio. The illustrious and victorious general of the Kingdom of Nia! Spartans, stop messing around, answer the general’s questions truthfully, and if you behave well, we will consider putting you back in Sparta!

” Orticides, the son of our former king of Sparta, Aquis!” Dorios still pointed stubbornly at General Dionia in front of him, and said loudly: “I will never admit my mistake! The scar on him was left when we were sent by the instructor to hunt wolves, and he was knocked down by the alpha wolf, if it wasn’t for me, he would have been bitten to death by the wolf long ago!”

Dorios said with a nose and eyes. The other people in the room looked at Leoticides subconsciously: Indeed, there is a relatively obvious slender scar on Prosus’ chin.

If Leoticides had a beard, long hair, or a lot of Leos, I’m not too sure, but now Leoticides has more wrinkles on his face and looks the same as when he was young Not much has changed.

With the continuous reform of the political system in Sparta in the past few decades, the power of the king has almost been lost, but in addition to the command of the army, there is one right that has never been deprived, that is, the princes do not have to participate in cruel military training since childhood. Otherwise, babies born with foot problems like Agesilaus would have been thrown into the crevices of the valley long ago, but Leoticides was a rare member of the royal family who voluntarily applied to participate in Agago training. Naturally He was very concerned by other Spartan teenagers in the military camp, but he seldom paid attention to other people due to his character. It was just that the wolf kiss that nearly killed him left a deep impression in his memory, so even if he was in front of him. The Spartan had drab hair and blood on his face, and he could roughly guess who the other party was.

The world is so small!

…Leothysides sighed in his heart, and then said in a deep voice, “Leave this prisoner, you all retreat.”

Mukru looked at Leothyides, and saw his calm expression. Perseverance, he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn’t say anything, turned around and walked out of the big tent.

On the contrary, the two guards hesitated: “Lord Commander, it is too dangerous to leave this Spartan alone in the tent!”

“Am I afraid of a wounded Spartan, go out!” Leoticides said unreservedly.

The guards withdrew obediently, leaving only Leoticides and Dorios in the tent.

The two looked at each other, and after a while, Leoticides broke the silence and pointed to the wooden bench next to him and said, “Sit down.

Dorios is also welcome, dragging his injured left leg and sitting on the bench. ”

I didn’t expect to meet you here, Dorios.

“Leoticides said slowly.

“I did not expect that the prince of Sparta would become the general of Dionia!”

“Dorios sighed with a hint of sarcasm.

“What’s unexpected, Agesilaus became king, if I didn’t escape from Sparta, would I be willing to stay in Sparta and be constantly accused of being a bastard, and then be like my mother… like my mother, Wronged, hanged himself?!” Leoticides’ voice was trembling, and his rare emotion was a little excited: “At that time, except for Dionia, who dared to oppose Sparta as soon as it was established, those other The city-state is either an ally of Sparta or a subsidiary of Sparta. I don’t have many choices… But now it seems that my choice is correct, so I am here today.”

“Is your choice correct?!” When Dorios heard this, he immediately became angry: “Dionia raided the precious property that our ancestors left us – Messenia without declaring war, this is completely unfaithful behavior! You know Losing Messenia, will it cause much difficulty for us in Sparta?! How many people will be reduced to inferiors because of the loss of Messenia and the noble status of citizens?! … …Just because you have a grudge against King Agesilaus, you will not hesitate to hurt all the Spartans, don’t forget that you are also a Spartan!”

Leoticides tapped the table with his hand, Indifferently said: “I am a citizen of Dionia now, and it is not up to me to attack Messenia. That is an order issued by His Majesty Davos. Besides, it is Sparta who is not trustworthy, and it is you who advance in advance. After the end of the peace agreement, Thebes will have the opportunity to form an alliance with us, Dionia, and you have violated the contract of Kalias and led your troops to attack Thebes again. Of course, Dionia will fulfill the alliance…”

“But in the end Bis has signed a truce with us Sparta!” Dorios roared.

“Dionia has indeed heard rumors in this regard, but Thebes did not send messengers to inform us, and Dionia is so far away from mainland Greece, it is impossible to determine whether such rumors are true or false, so they attacked The

plan has not changed.

In addition, there are some citizens in Dionia who were born in Messenia. His Majesty Davos once promised them, ‘to restore Messenia’s independence’, and he has fulfilled his promise today…” Column Orticides said lightly.

“So Dionia has decided to become the enemy of Sparta?!” Dolios said fiercely: “Don’t think that Dionia is king in the Western Mediterranean, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com thinks that There is no opponent, it is only because of your undeclared war and our lack of defense that you are lucky to succeed! But soon we Spartans will gather a large army to retake Messenia, and I am afraid it will be time for the round The Dionian soldiers have become Sparta’s captives!”

“If Sparta really sent a large army to fight for Messenia, that would be the best.” Leoticides emphasized his tone, the eyes in his eyes Flashing a strange light, looking at Dorios, he said meaningfully: “In fact, even if you don’t say it, we are very aware of the current situation of Sparta, and the Spartan soldiers stationed in Messenia will not There were more than 500 people, and all the Spartans added up to less than 2,000 people, so the council of elders passed a resolution to grant some Periasians and a very small number of Helots as Spartan citizens, but Regardless of the land given to them, in fact, their status is still low, their desire to fight is not strong, and they even have conflicts with the Spartans…

Also, many years of uninterrupted fighting have made many Spartans unable to supervise The Black Rosh that they belonged to worked, so they could not pay enough taxes, and were deprived of their eligibility for public meals. In fact, they have become inferior people. They must have deep resentment in their hearts. Worse than killing Keenadun…”
