Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1166

[Chapter 115 Arcadia Alliance and Assassination]

Hearing the number spit out by Printols at this moment, and seeing the Dionysian army marching incessantly in front of him, the Arcadia deputies felt that even if the number said by the other party was watery, it should not be too different. many.

Therefore, the attention of the lawmakers to Dionia has been raised to a new level, and even some people have temporarily suppressed other thoughts in their hearts.

“General Clotokatax, let me introduce you to the members of our alliance.” Lucomedes’ voice broke the brief silence that suddenly appeared.

“Great!” Clotokatax nodded with a smile.

“This is Meretus of Mandinia…”

“Nice to meet you!”

…

Clotokatax’s sincere expression, earnest speech, and elegant demeanor left a message for the introduced MPs. Good impression, the whole atmosphere became friendly.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the members, and then there was a complaint, “Hey, don’t rush forward, the two of you, I’ll introduce you to you

later .”

Look, want to know who is so rude and humiliating the league.

Suddenly, there was a loud voice in his ear, “Your Highness, be careful!”

Then, he saw the guards on the left and right of Commander Dionia in front of him suddenly rush forward, and at the same time, the two MPs beside him were violently attacked. He pushed him down and brought him down at the same time. Someone came out from behind and stepped on his hand when he landed, and the pain was piercing to the bone.

But he endured the severe pain and shouted eagerly, “Be careful, there are assassins!!”

The two who rushed out of the crowd held bright daggers and charged viciously towards Crotoclotokatax.

Two palace guards had already blocked him, and they drew their swords and stabbed each other.

One of them was immediately stabbed, and the other burly assassin turned slightly sideways, avoiding the key point, he just endured the sword, and then used the inertia of dashing forward to smash the guards in front of him.

At this moment, Printols from the side flew up and kicked the ankle on which he was standing. He suddenly fell forward, and the short sword stuck on the sternum touched the ground and pierced his chest. The assassin immediately There was no breath, and the dagger in his hand fell to the feet of Clotokatax.

Krotokatax has experienced several assassinations like this,

but these are more dangerous. His expression is still calm, he picked up the dagger and looked at it, and then pushed away the long shield that the guards covered him. , thank the Guardians and Plintols who intercepted the Assassins.

“When I was young, I was from the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade. It’s rare for me to have a chance to fight the enemy in recent years.”

Clotokatax quickly stepped forward and helped Lucomedes up. During this process, the palace guards at the rear rushed up, armed with swords and shields, and took the dozens of Arcadia Alliance members who were in a panic. Surrounded by groups.

After Lucomedes got up, he didn’t have time to thank him, and regardless of the pain in his right hand, he ran towards the two assassins who fell to the ground, and was stopped by the guards.

“Let me see them! Let me see them!” Lucomedes shouted eagerly.

Crotokatax nodded in agreement.

Lucomedes first looked at the assassin who had been pierced by the sharp sword, and then looked at the assassin who had been slashed to the neck and was bleeding profusely.

The assassin was almost unconscious, and he kept murmuring in his mouth.

Lycomedes ignored the blood soaked Bolton, and listened closely, “Lord of the gods… Zeus is above… Great and loving… Zeus protects… Lord of the gods… Zeus is above…”

Since the assassin was dying, he did not dare to ask loudly, but frowned for a while, then turned around and said to Clotokataxus with a serious face, “Please believe us! We won’t just forge an alliance, and send someone to assassinate our allies at this critical moment!”

Clotokatax looked at the terrified Arcadia deputies, stepped forward without any hesitation, and said loudly ” I believe in you—Dionia’s allies! This is probably because some forces are afraid to see us forming an alliance, so they take such a despicable way to make us who have just formed an alliance to suspect each other!”

After speaking, he waved his hand, the palace guard They immediately put away their swords and shields and began to retreat, but there were still guards on both sides of Klotokatax.

Lucomedes breathed a sigh of relief for a while, then looked at the congressmen and said loudly, “Aguirus, come here and see if you recognize these two assassins, I just listened to their accents, I feel like you guys People from the west.”

“This is impossible!” Aguirus stepped out of the crowd and looked at Lucomedes angrily, but he walked quickly to the two assassins to identify them carefully, and then lay on his back again. Listening on the ground, he finally stood up and said very confidently to Clotokatax, “These two assassins are definitely not the people of Ocomenas! But I can roughly guess where they come from!”

“From where? ‘ Lucomedes asked anxiously.

Aguirus said with a slightly complicated expression, “It should be near Olympia, where people have a different name for the god Zeus…”

“Oh, you said that, I remember it!” Lucomedes suddenly realized , he hesitated, then said to Clotokatax, “These two assassins were probably sent by the Pisa, since they were faithful allies of the Spartans, but it was also possible that they were the Olympians on their own initiative. …”

Although Lycomedes did not finish his words, Clotokatax already understood the meaning of his words because Dionia made Hades the protector of the kingdom, and also regarded him as the lord of the Greek gods. , This is obviously completely different from the Greek native view of gods, especially for the Olympian people who have the most magnificent temple of Zeus, hold the largest Greek games to worship Zeus, and have the most devout Zeus believers in Greece. The belief of the Onians is to hate to the core!

Clotokatax subconsciously looked at the temple of Zeus still under construction in the new city of Megalopolis, and originally wanted to take the opportunity to promote the treatment of various beliefs and religions by the Kingdom of Dionia. Treating everyone equally, it’s not that he never did such a thing in Rome, but after thinking about it, he gave up his mind and said, “Now that everything is clear, Pisa and Olympia sent people to assassinate me in an attempt to destroy Dionysus. The alliance of Ya and Arcadia, to stop our Dionian army reinforcements to Arcadia, we must not let their plot succeed! Repel the invading Spartans as soon as possible, and then return to the Pisa Settlement!”

“That’s right! Mandinia is now being besieged by the Spartans, and they are in urgent need of rescue!” said a Mandinian MP eagerly.

The other MPs also scrambled to join in, and everyone wanted to get out of this weird and awkward atmosphere.

“How is the situation in Mandinia now?” Clotokatax looked at Lucomedes, who had negotiated an alliance agreement with the leader of Mandinia for two days. Steady and foresight was impressive, so he was more willing to believe what he said.

Lucomedes looked at his Mandinian colleagues and said in a heavy tone, “We Mandinians have learned the lessons of the last destroyed city. The new city designed and built should be said to be very strong and not afraid of the enemy. Long siege, but… we didn’t expect the Spartans to employ so many soldiers and well-equipped, and if the Spartans continued their onslaught, we were concerned that the city of Mandinia would not be able to withstand it for long, and the situation It is likely to appear, because the Spartans hate us Mandinia extremely! Once the city of Mandinia falls, I am afraid that this time the entire city will be slaughtered by the Spartans!”

Clotokatax nodded sympathetically, and was about to speak when Printols, who was next to him, asked, “How many people are in the Spartan army besieging Mandinia?

” According to the report of the messenger who fled to deliver the letter, the number of Spartan soldiers was about 20,000, and the heavy infantry was no less than 6,000, and they had more than 1,000 cavalry…” Lucomedes replied.

Printols compared what he said with the information detected by the mountain reconnaissance brigade, and he had a general idea, and then gestured to Clotokatax with his eyes.

Clotokatax has calmed down at this time, because he almost made a promise just now because of impulsiveness, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com made a gesture of “please say” with a little guilt.

Printols immediately asked again, “What kind of response plan does your Arcadia alliance have for the Spartan invasion?”

“After receiving the news of the Spartan invasion, our alliance has begun to deal with the entire Military mobilization in the region.” Lycomedes said solemnly, “But the Spartan mercenaries came from the northeast of Arcadia, and the southeast of Arcadia is adjacent to Sparta, so the entire east Citizens of all city-states must guard their cities first. It is estimated that the alliance can only gather more than 3,000 troops, and it will take at least four or five days to gather together. Then we will lead this army to serve Mandin. Nia rescued the siege, but compared with the Spartan army, our number is too small… So in order to repel the Spartans, we urgently need your help!”

“It’s not just about the rescue of Mandinia, if the Spartans Da’s own army also attacked from the south, which may directly threaten here! Immediately after another member’s words resonated with everyone.

Printols looked at these worried members of the Arcadia Alliance, “Dionia’s reinforcements are heading east, and it is estimated that by this afternoon they will reach the border of the Tygea area (the area borders the Spartan territory), where we will build our camp and try to keep the camp east as far as possible,” said loudly. Build, block the passage to Tegya.
