Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1193

[Chapter 142 Conquest of Sparta]

Sephiroth moved his right hand slightly, pretending to be relaxed and said: “I was accidentally shot, but fortunately, no bones were injured, the blood has been stopped, and it’s all right now, but I haven’t been for a while. Fa salutes you.”

“Wait until the medical camp arrives, and then let them give you serious medical treatment. You are the hero who defeated the Spartans now. Don’t cause your wounds to become infected and become seriously ill because of your carelessness. As a result, you cannot enjoy any honor. Just…”

“I said, my lord, are you caring about me or cursing me?!” Sephiroth said dissatisfiedly.

Sekelian was more casual when he got along with the senior officers of the First Fleet. He laughed: “The military salute is not needed for the time being. I will make up for it later. What’s the situation now?”

“The Spartans sent one The messenger, asked for peace talks with us, I can’t make the decision, so…”

“We have completely defeated the Spartan army, they have no strength, our soldiers can easily go and occupy the Spartans. Dacheng, they want peace talks at this time? This is a sweet dream! Drive this messenger away, and we will bring the army into the city.”

“This messenger said that he was Xenophon, a friend who went on an expedition to Persia with His Majesty Davos. ”

Your Majesty’s friend?” Sekelian finally showed some seriousness, but after pondering for a while, he said, “I don’t think Your Majesty will give up what is most beneficial to the kingdom because of personal friendship. Action… So, you go tell that… Se… Xenophon, Dionia will not accept the peace unless Sparta surrenders immediately.”

Sephiroth took the order and returned quickly: ” My lord

, he agrees with Sparta’s surrender, but—”

“But the Dionysian army cannot enter Sparta, and cannot harass the Spartan people!” Xenophon, who was closely behind Sephardus, shouted said.

Sekelian raised his head, squinted at him, and sneered: “Don’t let us enter Sparta City, and we can’t arrest the Spartans, what kind of surrender!”

“Sparta surrendered to Dionia, gave up all the city-states it controlled, and kept only the original territory of Sparta, and even accepted some reforms of the Spartan government by Dionia, and the Spartans would later Keeping the offensive and defensive with Dionia, no matter who Dionia fights in the future, Sparta must fight with it… General, in the Peloponnesian War, Athens finally failed and surrendered to Sparta, The accepted conditions are almost the same, and now Sparta’s offer of surrender is even more stringent, enough to show our sincerity, isn’t that enough?” Xenophon said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Secorian still had doubts on his face: “The conditions you said… Did the Spartans agree to it?”

“They have granted me full authority and

will never object!” Xenophon said firmly.

Sekelian sneered again, stared at him, and said bluntly: “To be honest, I don’t believe in your surrender, because the main force of Sparta is still in Arcadia, you just need to delay. In a day or two, they can return quickly… Hehe, so whether it’s the Spartan commander who was on the beach before, or you now, you have proposed not to let us enter Sparta City, so that they can rush back Save!”

“General, since the Spartans have agreed to surrender, they will keep their promises and never go back on their promises!” Xenophon exclaimed excitedly, as if he had been insulted, “They are Hercules. They swear in the name of Hercules that they will never break the agreement!”

“You say that the Spartans can keep their promises like we Dionia, but I don’t believe you!” Ann shook his head and said sarcastically: “I think that when you signed the great king contract with so many city-states in Greece, you also swore an oath to the gods, but you Spartans did not take long to violate the law. After signing the contract, the city of Thebes was suddenly attacked…”

“Then what should we do to convince you?” Xenophon was at a loss for words, and soon he asked again eagerly.

Cykrian ignored him, turned to Sephardus and said, “The soldiers have had enough rest, gather them immediately, enter the city of Sparta, and capture all the Spartans for me. Get up!”

“Yes!”

Xenophon was in a hurry, stepped forward and grabbed the sleeve of Secorian, and said earnestly: “Wait a minute! General, you can’t do this!…” General

Secorian He threw his hand vigorously: “There is also him, grab him too!”

The fleet infantry and the soldiers of the 7th Legion who received the order quickly lined up in a long and loose horizontal formation, stepping across the wheat fields, vegetable fields, and vineyards. Passing through the sparse and uninhabited thatched houses…

As they approached the dense group of houses, they were surprised to see a lot of old people, women, and even children appearing between the houses, all holding spears, daggers, and even wooden sticks. , glared at them.

The entire Dionian army stopped advancing.

After hearing the news, Sekelian was silent for a while, and then ordered in a deep voice: “As expected of Sparta, who established the country by force, since he has taken up arms, he is the enemy! Tell the soldiers, don’t be careless, and don’t be merciful. , attack them immediately! But if they put down their weapons and stop attacking, they can no longer kill, only arrest, understand?!”

“Understood!”

………………………… ………………………………

In the King’s Office of the Turii Palace, Davos was listening to the report of the intelligence chief Aristillas: “Your Majesty, we have received a message from Greece in the past two days. It is reported that the Citizens Assembly of Athens has passed the decision to join the Greek Union and is ready to declare war on us. Currently, military mobilization is being carried out in the entire Attica region, and a large number of military supplies are being prepared. At the same time, it is also cooperating with the priests of Delphi to send to the surrounding city-states. Send messengers in an attempt to unite these city-states and declare war on us…”

After listening to this, Davos frowned slightly, and soon stretched it out again, and muttered with a calm expression: “Don’t look at the Athenians often talk about ‘what freedom, equality, and resistance to tyranny’, in fact, they suffer from the same The Athenians had far greater ambitions than the Spartans, who were dragged down by Heros and focused more on securing their own territory.

They wanted to control the Aegean, because it was the source of their wealth; The nemesis sea, because it was their source of food; they had also thought of taking control of Greater Greece, so that they could threaten the Sparta and Peloponnesian alliance; Invasion…Athens wants to establish a kingdom that controls the entire Mediterranean!

This idea has not changed much since Pericles and today’s Athenian rulers. It will inevitably conflict with the interests of our kingdom, It will eventually lead to war… This is what we expected.”

“However, our army is still fighting against Sparta in the Peloponnesus, and Athens chooses to attack at this time, which will cause us a lot of trouble. .” Aristillas couldn’t help saying a word.

Davos did not respond directly, but asked: “In addition to Athens, which Greek city-states have joined this alliance now?”

“Ellis has received the promise of Olympian priests and Pisa, and has decided to join this alliance; Corinth and Mai Gala seems to feel threatened by our fleet and has joined the alliance unequivocally; Argos is still hesitant, mainly because their populace does not want to help the Spartans; the Phokis also joined under the influence of the priests of Delphi This alliance; after Phokis and Athens joined, the Lochris also joined; the

Thebes declared that we were their ally and helped them in their most difficult times, and they could not go against the gods. The oath they made, declared war on us, but they would not point their spears at the neighbors who had helped them, so they remained neutral; influenced by Thebes, most of the city-states of the Pioxia League also chose neutral;

The priests of Delphi and the messengers of Athens both lobbied the Thessaly. The current information shows that Jason is still hesitating and has not made a statement; in addition, Athens also sent messengers to the western part of Central Greece in an attempt to win over Acarnania and The indigenous people in the Aetonia region, what is the specific situation, I have not received any news yet… The general situation is probably the same.

”

After listening to the more detailed introduction of Aristillas, Davos tapped the table with his hand and said in a deep voice, “Pelopidas of Thebes once quietly sent a letter to him.” I stated the reasons why Thebes had to make such a choice. Considering the environment Thebes is in today, they have taken a lot of risks to make a neutral choice, which I can understand.

Athens officially joined this alliance against us, which means that most of the Ionian city-states headed by Athens will declare war on us; although Jason is still watching, I think since he has ambitions to become the hegemon of Greece, he should Knowing that this is his only chance to repel our Dionysus and achieve his goals, he will eventually join in…”

Having said this, his tone became very powerful: “These Greek city-states who oppose us It’s also a good thing to get together and fight against us. We can save time, eradicate them all at once, and completely control the Greek mainland!

Then, there was a kind look on his face: ”

Now the situation in Greece is getting complicated, and it will be a good exercise for Clotokatax.

I believe that with the assistance of several high-ranking generals such as Plintos and Cykrian, the army he led in the Peloponnese would not be in too great danger.
