“Cough cough!” When Adoris said this, Clotokatax was drinking soup, and he choked several times, and he responded with some embarrassment: “Brother, you underestimate me too much, I am The commander of the army, if he is selfish to his own relatives, how can he command other soldiers to fight desperately! Don’t worry, I won’t do that!”

Adoris looked at him and asked again: “Really?! ”

Really!” Klotokatak responded sternly.

“Okay!” Adoris picked up the soup bowl in his hand, and said with pride: “With soup as wine, I wish our brothers a brilliant achievement together in Greece!

” ………………………………

Since the new commander of the Dionian army had never arrived, Ipamironda stayed in the city of Meseni for several days, and instead of complaining, he complained Very happy, because Thebes is an ally of Dionia, so Ipamironda is not blindfolded and restricted from going out like Agsilaus, except for some sensitive areas, he can be in Mesai roam freely throughout the territory of Nia.

In order to avoid misunderstandings, with the consent of Leoticides, Staff Officer Mukru also provided him with a Dionian officer as a guide.

During this period of time, Ipamironda not only carefully understood the entire operation of the new Mesenian government from village to town, but also comprehensively observed the daily life of the Dionysian army, from the various battalions every morning. Organized morning exercises, rushing to the construction site to build cities and houses during the day, and returning to the military tents to rest in the evening under the supervision of team officers…

Not only did he go to the pass of Mount Tigertos to watch the Dionian soldiers build Sentinel tower to strengthen the defense against the Spartans; also went to the coast to watch the ships of the First Fleet patrol and train in the Gulf of Messenia; he even watched the baggage battalion use multiple camels from the simple The port transports food and supplies to the camp, cooks and distributes food for the soldiers in the camp, medical rescue and treatment of wounded soldiers… Except for the engineering camp, which was forbidden to enter because it involved the production of some military equipment, he almost visited the entire camp. again.

Until this day, he received a notice from the leader of the team: the new commander Dionia wanted to see him.

In fact, he already knew the arrival of the new commander, because that day he specially rushed to the seaside and witnessed the whole process of another Dionysian army of more than 10,000 people landing on the coast with countless ships and quickly assembling.

Entering the military tent, Ipamironda nodded with a smile to five or six generals in full uniforms, and finally set his eyes on the young man sitting in the center, and then bowed solemnly: “Dibi The messenger Ipamironda sees Commander Dionia!”

“Sit down,

General Ipamironda!

Clotokatax asked the soldiers to bring the prepared wooden chairs and said very politely: “You are the military commander of the Pioxia Alliance, and you led the Pioxia Alliance to defeat the battle of Leuctra. Hero of the Spartans, we are honored by your visit!

Ipamironda

thanked the guards, and after sitting down, he said humbly: “The victory of Leuctra is indeed a great encouragement to the people of Thebes and Pioxia, but it is like starving often. Like a person who eats a full meal, he will feel very satisfied, but for a person who eats a lot, it’s nothing, and Dionysus is a person who eats a lot, I said Right?

!

”

Ipamironda’s words made Ketisus, Olivers, and the others feel comfortable.

“The general is too modest!”

Clotokatax said immediately: “When my father talked to me about the situation in Greece a few years ago, he mentioned you, and he said that you and Pelopidas were the most important in the rise of Thebes.” Pillar, it turns out that he made the right judgment!

Hearing this, Ipamironda’s heart moved. Of course he knew who the father was talking about. He couldn’t help but ask: “I want to ask when His Majesty King Davos first mentioned me.

”

?

Clotokatax

thought for a while and said: “Well…it seems that after the war with Carthage, it was mentioned in a letter to me once…I was serving in Rome at that time, It was a town in the northern part of the kingdom.

”

After the war between Dionia and Carthage… Ipamironda recalled carefully: It was the most difficult period for Thebes at that time. Facing the attack of Sparta, even Thebes was struggling to support. Some members of the government did not have much hope for the future, but King Dionia, who was far to the west, firmly believed that Thebes would rise, and knew himself, who was not well-known at the time. Then he paid a lot of attention to Thebes…

Seeing that Ipamironda was silent, Olivers interjected: “His Majesty the great Davos is the descendant of the god Hades and has been favored by the gods. Therefore, an accurate judgment can always be made, and the forces that are hostile to Dionia will eventually suffer the punishment of failure!

”

“That’s right!

“Ctisus and Tigtinos immediately agreed.

Worried that the implied threat in Olivers’ words made Ipamironda unhappy, Clotokatax quickly took over the conversation and said, “If I had known that you were in Messenia, General, I would have done so earlier. Come here, it won’t make you wait here for a few more days.”

“It doesn’t matter, staying here for a few more days has given me a deeper understanding of the Dionysian army, and it has also made me feel deeply. Why is the Dionysian army strong, if your army is an adult, the armies of the Greek city-states, including our Thebes, are still children!” Ipamironda said with a serious face.

Klotokatax was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: “General Ipamironda, you are too modest!”

He did not continue to talk about this issue, but instead asked: “The general is here this time. Is there anything important?”

“This time, on behalf of the people of Thebes and Pioxia, I would like to express my gratitude to the ally Dionia!” Ipamironda looked solemn and said earnestly: “Thebes We have just become allies with Dionia. We didn’t have much communication in the past. This time, the enemy of Thebes is the most powerful city-state in Greece. We only expected Dio at the most difficult time of the war. Nia was able to assist us with food and supplies, but to our surprise… you truly fulfilled the covenant, took the initiative to fight against Sparta, and soon launched an attack on Sparta, as it was rumored Said ‘Dionia is a nation that keeps its promises’, and Thebes is very fortunate to be able to form an alliance with Dionia!”

Hearing these words, Clotokatax was very proud, and he tried his best to Don’t let this emotion show, but said humbly: “Keeping promises is the criterion for the founding of Dionia, and sending troops to aid when our allies are in danger is what we should do! It’s just that Thebes can get out of the predicament mainly by relying on Your own efforts, it is precisely because the general led his army to defeat Sparta at Leuctra that our attack on Sparta became easy.”

Clotokatax was also very candid, but Ipamironda showed a grateful but helpless smile: “The victory of Leuctra was indeed very important to Thebes, but it only temporarily relieved Thebes from the predicament, but made Thebes into greater trouble. among.”

Clotokatax glanced at Printoles, then looked puzzled.

Ipamironda explained seriously: “Athens and our Thebes have been enemies for decades. Because of Sparta, they have formed an alliance with Thebes these years. It should be said that it has given Thebes a lot of Great help. But with the gradual recovery of our strength in Thebes, Athens’ attitude towards us has changed. When signing the Kalias contract, I clearly felt that Athens and Sparta had reached an agreement. Together we crowded out Thebes. And after the battle of Leuctra, Athens sent troops to garrison the western frontier, clearly showing hostility to

us. Another ally of ours, Jason of Thessaly, had previously He also gave us a lot of help in the Spartan war, but after the battle of Leuctra, he suddenly sent troops to occupy the Hot Spring Pass, and also carried out a large-scale military mobilization in Thessaly, and threatened to send troops. Going south, they also refused to receive the envoys we sent. The city-states in the entire western part of Central Greece, including our Thebes, were very nervous. Pioxia dominated by us Thebes, Phokeis dominated by Delphi, and Locris has been discussing to unite to resist the invasion of the people who came

up–” “Is the military strength of the Thessaly strong?” Olivers couldn’t help asking, he and Davos were both Thessaly , But it has been decades since he left Thessaly, and he doesn’t know the current situation of his hometown. His impression of Thessaly is still a few decades ago. The city-states fought with each other, resulting in weak strength and frequent attacks by the indigenous people in the surrounding mountains. bullying situation.

“Since Philae’s tyrant, Jason, became the Tagus of the Thessaly, all the city-states of Thessaly were under his control, and he could at least form an army of more than 30,000 people, and the combat effectiveness of his soldiers was still high. Not weak, this is a huge threat to us in Central Greece!” Ipamironda reminded in a heavy tone.

“Thessaly actually has a Tagus!…” Olivers was a little surprised, and the phrase “an army of more than 30,000 people” also attracted the attention of the other commanders.

Before leaving, Clotokatax had been repeatedly instructed by Davos, and Chief of Staff Plintos was able to obtain more information from the Ministry of Military Affairs, so the expressions of the two were relatively calm.

“After the battle of Leuctra, we Thebes suddenly faced threats from the north (Thessaly), the east (Athens), and the south (Sparta). The situation is quite dangerous! It is because of you Dio Nea’s generous reinforcement of troops has restored Mesenia, diverted the attention of the Spartans and Persians, and temporarily relieved the greatest danger for Thebes. We are grateful for this! Of course, I also ask for your forgiveness. , Thebes has to concentrate on dealing with the threat from the north, so I dare not send troops to join you and deal with the Spartans together! I am very sorry for this!” Speaking of which, Ipamironda bowed his head and bowed his head. Waist, respectfully apologized to Clotokatax.
