Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1174

[Chapter 123]

When was the last time most Greek city-states formed a coalition?

The Hippo War a hundred years ago!

This is to treat Dionia as an enemy like Persia!

This is very uncomfortable for Clotokatax and Printoles, who have Greek blood and Greek complex.

Therefore, when the messenger left, the expressions of both of them were very solemn.

Printols first broke the silence and comforted Clotokatax: “Your Highness, you don’t have to worry too much! The Thebes have already said that it is not a short time to form such an alliance that includes most of the Greek city-states. Time can do it, we still have enough time to conquer Sparta first.

Once Sparta is conquered, Messenia will be ours again, the Arcadia Confederacy will be our ally, and Alice will be ours We have expressed goodwill, so that we have stabilized most of the Peloponnese, and Thebes also supports us. Even if other city-states form a coalition against us, their strength has been greatly weakened. If

you have some power, you can completely defeat them and then dominate the situation in mainland Greece!”

Clotokatax pondered for a while, and said cautiously: “Our arrival is like poking a hornet’s nest, I didn’t expect Delphi, Olympia and Corinth will hate us so much, which may complicate the situation in Greece, and many things may become uncertain… Indeed, the most important thing for us now is to seize the time to defeat the Spartan army, Get rid of this powerful enemy first. And defeating Sparta will help increase our prestige, and it will also be a deterrent to other Greek city-states.”

“His Royal Highness is right!” We

can—” “Report!” The voice of the captain of the palace guard suddenly sounded outside the tent.

“What’s the matter?”

“Messenia sent an urgent letter!”

Clotokatax opened the letter, gradually frowning slightly, falling into thought.

Although Printols was curious, it was not easy to take the initiative to ask.

After a while, Clotokatax put down the letter and said: “The elder Ticias wrote to say that Nafpaktos has sent messengers, hoping to bring some of their people back to their native country, Meseni. sub life”.

“Nafpaktos?” Plintors thought for a while before he said with some doubts: “I remember that this city-state seems to be located on the northern shore of the Corinthian Gulf, near the exit of its gulf. During the Peloponnesian War , it is not only an ally of Athens, but also the naval base of Athens in the Gulf of Corinth, where Admiral Formio of the Athenian navy once won a naval battle with less victory, and Demosthenes, the general of the Athenian army, once used it as a military base , almost conquered the regions of Acarnania, Ambunakia, Atolia, and Locris… But why did this city-state make such a request?”

“Lord Printoles is worthy of being the chief of staff,

I am very familiar with the military battles that have taken place.” Clotokatax praised, and then explained in detail: “Before the Peloponnesian War, there was a large-scale war in Sparta. The Messenian riots, which Sparta could not put out with the help of Athens reinforcements, finally reached a compromise with these Helots and allowed them to leave the Spartan territory.

Athens helped some of the Messerians who escaped. The Nians founded Nafpaktos, which is said to have come from the advice of Pericles, the famous chief general of Athens did have a long-term vision, so in the Peloponnesian War Nafpaktos has always been A staunch ally of Athens, played an important role.

After the war, Nafpaktos was forced to cancel the covenant in Athens, but in recent years, Sparta was tired of the war and its strength was greatly weakened, and Nafpaktos once again Close contact with Athens…”

Printols was born from a commoner in Turui, with a bright talent, but because his family was poor, he had no education when he was young. Later, when Dionysus was established, he was the first to attend the adult class of Turui School in response to Davos’ call. study.

After breaking away from illiteracy, he has not stopped studying to this day, but after all, he is old, and he mainly focuses his energy on military research.

The new generation of Dionysian citizens has received a more comprehensive education since childhood, with a wealth of knowledge and a wider range of knowledge. As a prince, Crotokataxes not only has to receive school education, but also complete the education given to him by Davos. The assigned learning tasks have a relatively broad amount of knowledge, which is not comparable to that of ordinary peers.

“The Nafpaktos asked to join Messenia on the grounds that they were descendants of Messenia…” Plintors savoured what Clotokatax said just now, very He quickly reacted and said ponderingly: “But they are in close contact with Athens, I am afraid there is a secret instigation from Athens… Now the patrol of the First Fleet in the Aegean Sea has already dissatisfied Athens, and now there are Delphi and Olympian priests secretly instigating Activities…

Once Messenia becomes unstable because of their participation, not only will the kingdom’s efforts to invest in Messenia be destroyed, but there will also be problems with the army’s back path, so we have to guard against it!”

“Master Ticias is also aware of this problem, so he wrote a letter to ask for instructions.” Clotokatax raised the papyrus scroll in his hand, but his face was hesitant: “But we have already issued a call to the whole of Greece before. , ‘Welcome Mesenian immigrants back to their motherland’, the words have just been said, how can we go back now?”

“His Royal Highness, we don’t need to go back.” This matter was pushed back, and it was said that ‘Messenia agreed in principle to return to their home state, but due to the large number of people they returned, Messenia did not have enough houses and land for resettlement, etc. When

Messenia is fully prepared, they will take the initiative to tell them to return.'”

Clotokatax pondered: “You mean . . . when we defeat Sparta and stabilize Burrow After the situation in Pennese, agree to the demands of the Nafpaktos?”

“Even after we have dominated the situation in Greece, it is okay to inform Nafpaktos. After all, Messenia is in our control, and the time is of course up to us to decide. Anyway, we have not broken our promise.

” Si nodded, picked up a pen and paper, considered it for a while, and prepared to write a reply.

At this time, the guard outside the tent came to report again: “His Royal Highness, the team officer in charge of patrolling the Xiying Gate brought a person, saying that he is from Ellis, and has very important news to tell you.”

Ellis?

… Curious and puzzled, Clotokatax put down his pen and said, “Let him come in.”

Under the watch of two palace guards, a Greek man dressed as a shepherd walked into the tent nervously. , saw Clotokatax who was sitting at the head, and immediately shouted: “My lord! Your lord! My master is Lala of Alice, and he wrote a letter, asking me to pay Dio. Commander of the Nia army. I took the letter, for fear of being discovered, I dared not walk on the main road. After two days of running on the mountain road, I didn’t eat much, and I was so tired—”

“Don’t talk nonsense, take the letter quickly. Come out!” Printols said solemnly.

The man was stared at by Printols’ sharp eyes, and he shivered with fright, and quickly took out the letter from his arms.

The guard immediately presented the letter.

Clotokatax opened the letter, and the content of the letter made his heart sink suddenly. He stared at the letter for a while, and after calming down, he raised his head and said to the guard: “Take him down first. After having a good meal, tell the financial officer and give him 5 silver coins as a reward!”

“Yes!”

“Thank you sir! Thank you sir!…” The man bent over and saluted again and again with joy, and then he thought of something, busy again Said: “Please also write a reply letter, so that my master can rest assured!”

Clotokatax nodded, and after the guard and the messenger left, Printols immediately asked: “His Royal Highness, is it out? What’s the big deal?” Although Clotokatax covered it well, Printols saw something.

Kloto Katak silently handed him the letter.

Printoles read the letter quickly, and his expression became solemn: “His Royal Highness, the letter said, ‘The priests of Olympia and the Pisa people persuaded the parliament of Alice to join the Greek League and oppose us on the grounds of surrendering to Alice. ‘ The letter also says, ‘At the council of Elis, the Olympian priests declared that their men would soon persuade the Okomenus to rebel against the Arcadian Confederacy…’ If the letter is true Yes, the situation will be very unfavorable for us!”

Clotokatax clenched his hands tightly, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

Although com seemed a little nervous, he still analyzed it seriously: “I heard Lord Ticias say when I was in Messenia that the father of this Senator Alice named Ionicus is from Messenia. , he had witnessed our army retake Messenia from the Spartans, and he also spent some time in Messenia, liberating Heros with Ticias and the others, against Dionia The kingdom has a certain favorable impression, so he wrote to us immediately after learning the news.

He is probably also worried that if we suffer defeat, the newly independent Messenia will be occupied by the Spartans again… So He shouldn’t lie to us.”

“If Elise takes us as an enemy, and Okomenus or more of the Arcadian city-states revolt, then our future will be threatened, and Mesenia will also be in danger. It is very likely that they will be attacked, and this battle with Sparta will not be easy to fight!” Printols said in a deep voice.

Klotokatax rubbed his hands and asked hesitantly, “Should we… first lead the army back to Messenia to see how the situation has changed, and then re-determine the next military action?
