Although the people present did not know much about the difficulties Thebes is facing today, they have never thought of letting Thebes provide assistance and fight against Sparta, so Ipamironda’s candid apology made Eke The people led by Rotokatax were both stunned and moved.

Clotokatax said immediately: “General Ipamironda, Thebes is facing difficulties and cannot support us. We can understand these, so His Majesty specially sent enough soldiers to come to Peloponnes. To deal with Sparta, the strength of our Dionia alone is enough. When Sparta is completely defeated, we will lead the army north to help you remove other threats and restore peace to Thebes!

” Lotokatax did not make a random promise because of a momentary excitement. He considered that since the Kingdom of Dionia wanted to dominate the situation in Greece, it was likely to conflict with Athens and Thessaly in the future. Helping the ally Thebes as an excuse can not only get the gratitude and assistance of Thebes, but also cover up the real purpose, why not do it?

Printols also took this into account, so when Clotokatax made his promise, he did not interrupt or cover up.

When Olivers, Tiger Delos and other legion commanders heard it, they learned that there were other battles to fight besides Sparta, and they naturally agreed.

Ipamironda had a very moved look, and he said emotionally: “When I go back, I will definitely tell every Thebes that what Dionia has done for Thebes, let me The Thebes will never forget your kindness! Apollo is above, I swear in your name that I will do my best to make Thebes the firmest ally of Dionia in Greece!

” When he got down on his knees, palms to the sky, and solemnly swore, Clotokatax was a little stunned, he suddenly felt a little ashamed, and quickly stepped forward to help him up: “General Ipamironda, you… You are…”

“Compared to the great help you Dionia gave to Thebes, this is all I can do.” Ipamironda said sincerely.

Clotokatax was a little moved, and he didn’t know what to say for a while.

Ipamironda said again: “Now you are at war with Sparta, and Thebes cannot send troops to participate in the war for the time being, but we persuaded the Arcadians to support you.”

“I have already listened to my predecessor on this matter .

The commander said it.” Clotokatax frowned and said as gently as possible: “However, I heard that Sparta has sent envoys to restore friendship with the Arcadians, so Akka The Dia people have not sent messengers to ask us for help.”

Ipamironda smiled slightly,

He said sternly: “The Arcadia Alliance has just been established, and the city-states to which it belongs have always been allies of Sparta. In the face of the rare gesture of goodwill from the Spartans, hesitation is inevitable. However, Arcadia The leader of the Asian Union is Mandinia. The city of Mandinia was once destroyed by Spartans. The Mandinians have been displaced for more than ten years. They have a deep hatred with the Spartans. The

Bada people are reconciled.

What’s more, the chief general of Mandinia, Lucomedes, was the main figure who facilitated the establishment of the Arcadia Alliance. of prestige, he once went to Thebes as a messenger to ask for help, and was persuaded by us to ask Dionia instead. I spent a few days with him on the way to Messenia, and I think he is a A very wise and far-sighted man, he will not allow the Spartans’ plot to succeed!”

“Since the general said so, then we will wait a little longer.” Clotokatax agreed with Iraqi Palmeronda’s suggestion.

Olivers, who was next to him, had some objections to this, and wanted to express his opinion, but was stopped by Plintos with his eyes.

His unwilling expression fell into Ipamironda’s eyes, and Ipamironda seemed to have never seen it, and continued to talk to Clotokatax calmly.

The two sides exchanged some views and suggestions on “how to defeat the Spartans”, and later even exchanged views on “how to train soldiers, how to organize the army” and other issues, even Olivers several legion commanders also joined in, The conversation lasted for more than three hours, and until Ipamironda left, others were still unsure.

Looking at the back of his departure, Clotokatax couldn’t help but sigh: “Ipamironda is not only very insightful in the military, but also very knowledgeable, but also so humble and eager to learn. A respected old man!”

“It’s a pity.” Plintors said in a deep voice: “We have come to Greece, which will definitely limit the continued growth of Thebes, and Ipamironda may not have the ability to continue to display its talents. Here’s your

chance!”

“But at least more Thebes were prevented from dying,” said Klotokatax softly.

“Your Highness,” Olivers interjected: “Do we really have to wait for the Arcadians to make a decision before leading the army to attack the Spartans from the north?”

“Uncle Olivers.” Crotokatak Although his tone was gentle, his expression was firm: “The situation in Peloponnesus is complicated, we can’t be in a hurry, otherwise it is very likely that what should be a friend will become an enemy.”

………………………… ………………

It turns out that Ipamironda’s judgment was not wrong, and Clotokatax’s waiting was also correct. On the second day after Ipamironda left Mesenia, The messenger of Arcadia arrived, led by Lycomedes.

Originally he only came to ask for help, but in Messenia he saw the powerful army of Dionia, and the army of Dionia was doing its best to help the Mesenians rebuild the new Mesenian government and the city of Mesenia .

After some thought, Lycomedes changed his mind and decided to ally with Dionysus.

Clotokatax held talks with him as commander of the Dionian Expedition and as a prince.

After two days of consultations, the two sides initially drafted a resolution, the main contents of which are: Dionysian recognizes the Arcadia Alliance and guarantees that the interests of its alliance will not be violated; the

Arcadia Alliance also recognizes Messenia , will maintain friendly relations with it;

Dionia will assist the Arcadia Alliance to build the city of Megalobilis as a symbol of friendship between the two parties;

Dionia and the Arcadia Alliance will form a military alliance, on one side In the event of an invasion by a powerful enemy, the other side will provide all-out assistance.

And if you want to attack the enemy together, it will only be against Sparta…

Judging from this alliance treaty, Dionia’s side undoubtedly suffered some losses, but Clotokatax, Printoles and others In private deliberations, it was agreed that Dionysian’s attack on Sparta would undoubtedly lead to the support (if only neutrality) of the people of Arcadia in the heart of the Peloponnese. It’s a lot smoother, and it’s okay to suffer some losses for the time being.

After the agreement was reached, Lucomedes did not stay in Messenia for too long, and immediately returned to Arcadia, ready to persuade the alliance so that the agreement could finally be passed.

Clotokatax also sent a messenger to bring the agreement back to Turii, to be reviewed by Davos.

Naturally it took some time for this to come and go, during which time Clotokatax, on the advice of Plintos, suspended the soldiers to continue construction activities, and all of them were replaced by Mesenians, who began to strengthen their defense against the army. training, and he stayed at the training ground every day, supervising the training of the army, and also let the soldiers get used to his presence.

The confederation agreement with the Arcadia Confederation was presented to King Davos, and was soon ratified.

However, the Arcadia Alliance has had a lot of controversy over this matter. In fact, the members of the entire alliance have already had disagreements on the issue of “accept Sparta’s request for peace? Or ask Dionysian for help?” Due to the small differences, Lucomedas also spent a lot of energy to finally get the alliance to agree to ask Dionia for help.

It is said that the Spartans are conservative, and the Arcadians are more than that.

This is because the Arcadia region is located in the center of the Peloponnese Peninsula. It is not close to the sea, and is mostly mountainous. It is relatively closed geographically, and the local people have a strong sense of vigilance against foreign forces.

Among them, the situation of the Mandinians is much better. After all, they have been wandering abroad for more than ten years and have more knowledge.

A hundred years ago, after Tygea and Okomenus were the most resolute opponents.

Tigea is located in the southeast of the area. Since it joined the Peloponnesian Union a hundred years ago, Sparta has always used it as a barrier to the north of Laconia, so it has been used for a long time. The means of suppression and coercion make it possible that after Taigea joined the Arcadia Alliance, there are still many pro-Spartan people in the country, so when Sparta sent messengers to seek peace with the alliance, it was the most active ; and Ocomenas is located in the east of Arcadia, adjacent to Pisa, and the two are close. When the Olympia Games were held, Ocomenas even shared some benefits, such as allowing Ocomenas Merchants set up stalls in some good places in Olympia, allowing the priests of Ocomenas to participate in the games… But Pisa was fully supported by Sparta, which made the feelings of Ocomenas for Sparta also It’s complicated…

In the eyes of these Arcadian city-states, independence from Sparta’s control is a last resort, but helping an outside force to fight Sparta is unacceptable, even if Lycomeda Sterling argued that “in order to ensure the safety of the Arcadia Union, this is only a stopgap measure.” The lawmakers of these city-states still expressed difficulty in accepting it.

Therefore, for several days, the council of the Arcadian League debated the question of “alliance with Dionysus”.
