Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 447

[Chapter 114 The Conspiracy of Dionysius]

Akirita and Gaba were very excited after hearing this. This is exactly what they are best at and want to do the most.

Phoebedas was silent, in his heart he did not fully agree with Dionysius’ plan, but he also suddenly realized that Sparta should probably learn how to attack the city like Syracuse.

At this time, Dionysius said something negatively again: “Before we attack Crotone, let’s see how Asproustum responds to the next thing…”

… ……………………

In the city of Asprostum, Felixius was comforting the more than 500 legionnaires who had been exchanged for more than 500 Lokri prisoners by Dionysus.

He has a lot of regret in his heart, because he failed to get back the commander of the Fifth Legion, the senator of the Dionysian Senate Drax, and even Dionysius, the captain of the first brigade of the Fifth Legion, and Bisi Brim, the important leader of Nia, who is also the elder of the Senate, did not release it, but insisted on a one-to-one exchange of prisoners.

Philisius noticed that the soldiers who were replaced were all Brutians from the Fifth Legion. Since the Fifth Legion was at the end of the retreat, the Fifth Legion was captured the most, but he did not think about it.

In fact, Dionysius released these Brutians on purpose, and in front of the other Greek soldiers and Lucanian soldiers captured by Dionysius, he released the Brutians with a kind demeanor, and even he We are also planning to release some Dionysian Legionnaires who have been observed by intelligence personnel and found to have resentment about it in a few days.

Felixius reorganized the 500-odd soldiers into the Fifth Legion. Although he regretted it, he was also slightly relieved, because half of the soldiers who returned were Bisinians, and Bisinia was cloth. The most staunch alliance of the Bruti tribes in the Luty region, which relies on the alliance, has never had any riots since Bruti’s incorporation into the alliance, and has also responded to some of the bills made by the Senate against the Bruti region against the tribes. There was no objection, and Felixius had a good relationship with Basilipi, so he felt better when more Vicinians came back.

At this time, the messenger came in a hurry: “Sir Commander, the commander of the Epithenes army, please go to the top of the city immediately, what the Syracuses are doing outside the city makes him unable to decide, and you can only do it. It’s

decided.”

Felixius was shocked when he heard this.

………………………………

Dracos woke up from a nightmare.

Since he led the first brigade to intercept the enemy’s cavalry and was surrounded by many, he led the team to fight desperately, and was finally pierced through the lungs by the enemy’s javelin, and fell to the ground and captured.

Although after being treated by Dr. Syracuse, he has been having a high fever, sometimes in a coma, and sometimes awake.

At this moment, he tried to open his dry and heavy eyelids when

he heard a shrill scream, but someone next to him shouted in grief and indignation: “Don’t come here! Don’t come here! Asinu is above, I beg you to protect them… …”

What’s going on?

Drakes tried his best to open his eyes, and the shaky image in front of him gradually became clear. He found himself lying on the ground mixed with stones and soil, with a city standing a hundred meters in front of him. The appearance of the city was familiar to him— Asprustum.

Why are you here?

His mind was dizzy and he couldn’t remember at all.

He wanted to stand up on the ground, but found that his hands and feet were tied behind him by ropes, and he couldn’t do anything at all.

He struggled a few times, but it didn’t work, but the pain from the wound made him almost faint again.

Obviously, the person next to him saw his movement and said in surprise: “Commander Drakes! Commander Drakes, are you awake?!”

“You… Who are you? This… What’s going on? ?…” Drax asked weakly with his dry lips open.

“Reporting to the commander, I am Eturu, captain of the 3rd, 4th, and 1st corps of the Fourth Corps. The Syracuses have taken dozens of captured soldiers of our Fourth Corps, as well as you. In front of the city of Aspurustum, everyone tied the hands and feet of each person, and also laid wooden stakes beside each person, tied the ropes tied to it, and sent people to the city to shout and tell them, ‘ Here you are with the captured soldiers of the Fourth Legion.’ Then the Syracuse army retreated a hundred meters, but every time the comrades in the city rushed out… rushed out to save us, these damn Syracuses The stab people will…will shoot at them with javelins and bows…shoot at them…” At this point, Eturu burst into tears.

When he cried, the other soldiers who were kidnapped were also saddened.

What?

!

When Drakes heard this, he was immediately anxious. He endured the severe pain and forcibly propped up his body with his shoulders.

Excessive force made his eyes darken and his head dizzy. He panted heavily, trying his best to control his shaky body… After a while, he finally knelt stably on the ground.

When he opened his eyes again, what appeared in front of him were more than a dozen corpses with arrows and javelins on their bodies, and the closest deceased to him was less than one meter away from him.

Looking at the ashen face, Drax recognized him: Haggaik, a soldier of the Fifth Legion, this young Bruti from the small tribe of Cosenza, with a stubborn and stubborn personality.

When he first entered the Fifth Army, he repeatedly violated military regulations and was punished many times by the strict Drakes, but he repeatedly refused to accept it.

There was one time when he clashed with Drakes on the training ground.

In the end Drakes bet him on wrestling and won him cleanly.

Haggai got angry, and since then he has trained hard and performed well. Drax finally promoted him to be the squad leader. He didn’t expect to die here…and for him!

A surge of anger surged into his heart, and the cry of the soldier next to him made him even more irritated, and he shouted: “Why cry! What’s there to be afraid of dying? We will meet at the Valhalla!”

……………… ……

Felixius looked solemnly at the row of people who were tied and kneeling on the ground at the bottom of the city, he did not expect that he would see such a scene when he came to the city: “You… you are sure that those people are Della Kos and the captured soldiers?”

Epithenis, who is usually outgoing and flamboyant, also frowned at this moment, and his voice was heavy: “Before I came up, the soldiers… have confirmed it with their lives! I have now strictly prohibited the soldiers from leaving the city without permission, but there Not only Drakes, but also the soldiers of the Fourth Legion. Look at my men, they all want to rescue their teammates, neighbors, and possibly relatives… So they all hope to send the fourth and fourth Fifth Legion, so that even if the enemy is coming, they can resist and successfully rescue Drax and other soldiers.” Felixius

looked at the shocking nearly one hundred corpses that stretched all the way down the city to the captives. There was a phalanx of the Syracuse army who seemed to be resting a hundred meters behind the prisoners.

He looked back at the soldiers of the Fourth Legion stationed at the head of the city, with anger and anxiety on their faces.

Felixius’ eyes finally fell on Epithenes: “What’s your opinion?”

“I think I can give it a try.” This is in the hope that we will rescue us. Therefore, when we leave the city, the Syracuses will probably not immediately step forward to block them. We have time to form a formation and slowly approach Drakes and the others while blocking their way. Attack, while saving Drakes… Although there are more Syracuses than us, the terrain here is narrow, with cliffs on the left and mountains on the right. No matter how many troops they have, they will not be able to use them, nor will they be able to outflank our back road. We… we should be able to return to the city safely.”

Felixius was silent for a long time, and said slowly: “Since you all know that the Syracuses want us to go out of the city to rescue, you insist on leading the troops out of the city, because the Syracuses can really let us return safely. Is it?!” Felixius said with a painful expression: “A few days ago, it was because everyone believed that they could defeat the Syracuses by luck, and I didn’t insist… The result! We failed. Yes! The coalition was defeated, and we lost more than 3,000 soldiers, which made the situation in Great Greece so bad! Haven’t we paid attention to such a lesson! Dionysius is not so easy to deal with, UU read wwwww .sonicmtl.com Since he has designed this scene under the city, he must have a plan to deal with us going out of the city to save people. For the safety of Aspurustum City and the safety of the Alliance, we… we cannot leave the city! Felixius

seldom shouted to people as loudly as he is now. This was the vent of his depression during this period of time, so Epithenes was also a little stunned, and his face became gloomy: “Are we just watching Drakes and the soldiers were humiliated and not rescued! Don’t forget, Lord Davos, when he was in Persia, he once said, ‘Everyone in the team he leads must be like family, and he will never abandon anyone easily. Alone

!'”

Epithenes’ words were lashing Felixius’ guilt heart, he pressed his hands on the battlements and clenched the stone cracks tightly, and the rough gravel stung his palms… Although he and Germany Lakos has an average relationship, but he is also bullied by the enemy as a senator, army commander, and a long-time comrade-in-arms. He doesn’t want to rescue Drakes and the soldiers, but as the highest military commander on the southern front of Dionia, He has a heavy responsibility, and in such a critical situation, his first consideration should be the safety of the league.

He had already failed once before, and he couldn’t allow himself to make mistakes again, otherwise, once Aspirustum City made a mistake, the Syracuse people would be able to move forward, and he would really become a sinner of the Alliance!

“Strictly guard the city, no one is allowed to leave the city, this is an order!” Felixius said firmly: “I will bear all the consequences!”
