Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1196
[Chapter 145 Reaction of the Arcadia Alliance Chapter 145 Reaction of the Arcadia Alliance]
Initially, Agesilaus planned to strengthen the defenses on the north and south sides, completely preventing the Dionian army from outside the country. This was a passive military defense that had to be adopted due to insufficient troops.
Agesilaus knew very well that it could not last, and that Sparta, who could only be beaten passively, would inevitably be cast aside by its allies and lose its hegemony, so after the Persian reinforcements landed in Corinth, he saw some points of victory over Dionia. The army’s chance to win, and then risked the main force to head north. He was also prepared to retreat to the defense if the battle failed, but it backfired…
When the Dionysian army built a camp in Arcadia before, The soldiers of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade had sneaked into the northern part of the Spartan territory and had a preliminary understanding of the Spartan defense in the north, so the two companies of the Seventh Army carefully explored and advanced along the river valley.
As a result, when they arrived at the Spartan defense camp, they found that it turned out to be an empty camp!
The company captain was both puzzled and surprised, and immediately occupied the camp. At the same time, the more curious divisions continued to probe south, just in time to collide with a fleet of infantry soldiers sent north by Cykleon to announce the news to the main Dionysian force.
Now that Clotokatax sees this battle report, his mood is a little complicated. He finally won a big battle and will soon be able to take the huge glory of conquering Sparta into his arms, but he didn’t expect it. This glory has already been taken away by the First Fleet, although the First Fleet is nominally under his command.
As the chief of staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Printols does not care much about the issues of the army and navy and the attribution of military merit. He is more accustomed to thinking about issues from the strategic level. Thought, softly comforted: “From the battle report, the 1st Fleet’s landing operations were arranged carefully and ingeniously, but even so they paid a lot of money, it can be seen that the Spartan left-behind army still has a strong combat effectiveness.
According to the previous investigation, the defense of the Spartans in the north of the territory is also very strict, and the mountains in the north are not conducive to the offensive of our army, and it is more convenient for the Spartans to defend. If you want to enter Sparta from the north, you must It will cost a lot of casualties, and it is likely to make the battle more protracted! Now the situation in Greece is complicated, and the more time delays, the worse it will be for us.
Fortunately, Sekelian strictly implemented your order and launched the landing operation in time…so that we have enough time to calmly deal with the challenges of other Greek city-states.
After listening to this ,
Clotokatax was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, and said calmly: “Lord Plintos, I admit that I am a little jealous of the First Fleet’s conquest of Sparta.
But I think the success of the 1st Fleet has nothing to do with my orders. It is mainly due to the ability of Lord Sekelian. No wonder my father praised him as one of the best military commanders in the kingdom!
But you are right, the fact that the 1st Fleet can conquer Sparta so quickly is a good thing for our army and the kingdom, so we should happily accept the invitation of Cykrian and rush to Sparta , deal with post-war issues as soon as possible and meet new challenges.
”
Plintols was amazed that the young prince was able to change his mentality so quickly.
During this period of time in his dealings with Clotokatax, the character was steady, unassuming, and worked tirelessly. , The prince who listened to his opinions humbly and was good at getting along with others impressed Printols deeply, but he was still a little surprised that the young prince could change his mentality so quickly, and he was more optimistic about his future. He said to him: “I suggest that His Royal Highness tell the soldiers about this news now, although it will cause them to be dissatisfied with the First Fleet, but when they arrive at Sparta City, they may have adapted and will not be compatible with the First Fleet. What conflict happened between soldiers.
”
Klotokatax agreed with Printols’ suggestion and immediately passed on the news.
It didn’t take long for it to cause a commotion in the army. Despite the constraints of military law and team officers, it did not affect the march. But along the way, the legionnaires scolded the 1st Fleet endlessly, and for the first time Clotokatax was deeply aware of the contradictions between the Dionian Navy and the Army and the soldiers’ deep desire for honor
. As they approached the southern border of Tygea and joined Tygotinus, the army encountered members of the Arcadia Alliance.
After the battle, Clotokatax was busy dealing with the post-war affairs and did not send anyone to inform the Arcadia Alliance.
The Mandinian guides, in a hurry to return to their home state, informed the council of the decision of the Dionysian commander, and did not go to Megalopolis.
On the second day, the members of the Arcadia Alliance saw a mighty crowd returning from Tygea and passing through the territory of Megalopolis, including Dionysian troops and thousands of prisoners. I came forward to ask and learned that the Dionysian army had a large-scale battle with Sparta yesterday, and won the final victory.
Of course, they were also surprised to know: in this decisive battle between Dionia and Sparta, the Tygeans suddenly betrayed and attacked the flank of Dionia’s army, causing great trouble for it, so Enraged, the Dionian army captured Tygea after the war, captured its surviving people and sent them back to Messenia.
The members of the Arcadian Union were shocked by the cruel decision made by the Dionysians, knowing that there were also three members of the Tigea among them. The soldiers also refused to release the captives.
Therefore, the Arcadia deputies headed by Lycomedes had no choice but to rush to Tygea, preparing to intercede with the commander of the Dionysian army, and they happened to meet halfway.
Faced with the pleas of the Arcadia deputies, Clotokatax felt a headache.
After the battle that day, he was too angry because of Adoris’ warriors, and gave such an order. After a day, his mood was relatively stable, and he regretted that the order was too cruel, but the order has been implemented, and the soldiers have also received orders. Welcome, any more changes will only weaken his authority, so he can only admit it regardless, but now there are bitter masters chasing the door to ask for an explanation, which makes him feel very embarrassed.
Printoles saw his dilemma and offered to represent him to meet with these Arcadia confederates.
Clotokatax thanked him.
Printols ran out of the team on horseback and rushed to the road ahead. When he saw the Arcadia deputies, his face was like frost, and he said angrily: “The Arcadians, it was the Your request won our trust, and the kingdom formed an alliance with you, so when Mandinia was under siege, we sent a large army to rescue.
On the way, we learned that another ally, Taiga, was also attacked .
The attack of the Spartans was in jeopardy, so in order to rescue Taigea, despite the fatigue of the march, we had a battle with the Spartan army, who knew it was a conspiracy!
Damn Taigea! They After collaborating with Sparta, setting traps, and sending troops to sneak attack on our side during the battle, the army paid a heavy price of more than 3,000 casualties! And, Adoris, son of our great Majesty Davos The general also died in battle!
The Tigeans collectively betrayed the covenant and violated the sacred oath, and of course they must be severely punished! Even if this punishment can appease His Majesty’s anger due to grief, it is unknown. Anyone who understands Dio People in the past history of Nia should know that we, the Holy Kingdom of Dionia, keep our promises, but we also hate betrayers! Now that Taiga is betrayed at a critical time, we have to express our deepest feelings about whether your city-state can still fulfill the covenant. Doubts!…”
The appearance of Printoles asking for guilt surprised the Arcadian Union members, who did not expect that Taigea’s betrayal had caused such serious consequences: more than 3,000 casualties, equivalent to The number of casualties of Dionysian soldiers of a young and middle-aged population of their city-state!
Even the son of King Dionia died in battle!
Now, the Dionysian army has defeated the Spartan coalition in the battle, which has shown them the power of Dionia, and the Arcadian councilors, who have begun to fear its force, are really worried that the king of Dionia will take anger on the Their city-states began to express their positions: “We Mandinians and Sparta are deadly enemies, and we are also the initiators of this covenant.
We can never betray you Dionia like Taigea!”
So did Leos, the Spartan mercenaries destroyed our villages and destroyed our fields, our people hated the Spartans so much that it was impossible to cooperate with the Spartans!
”
“Since we Okomainus swear in the name of gods, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com signed an alliance agreement with Dionia, and we will abide by this agreement within the time limit, and we will never go back on it!”
…
The Arcadia deputies are eager to defend themselves and prove their innocence, completely forgetting the purpose of their trip, and only the Taigeans are crying loudly: “General, we admit that the Taigeans have made a big mistake. , but many of them are probably not voluntarily, but are coerced by the Spartans and the pro-Spartan nobles of the Tigera, and they have to do so! I hope you can forgive their sins, and the Tigerians will surely I am very grateful, and I will do my best to assist the Dionia allies in the future!…”
Plintors looked at these Tigea members with an unusually pitying look, and said softly: “You don’t know yet, right? Before our army arrived in Taigea, the pro-Spartans of Taigea colluded with the Spartans, inciting the people to slaughter all the anti-Spartans and their relatives in the city, until we broke the city of Taigea Afterwards, only a very small number of survivors were found. They are the only ones who have not been punished. They are currently receiving treatment in the city. I hope Hades blesses them, and they have your relatives…”
