Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 450

[Chapter 117 Thunderbolt Means]

At the start of the war, Castellon offered to send troops to participate in the battle, but was politely rejected by the Dionysian Senate, because Dionia’s troops were strong enough and Castellon’s soldiers were too few, instead they would Affects the overall unified command of the army, so only Castellon’s warships and rations are accepted.

Dionia, who is now stretched thin, has to turn to Castro for help. No matter how small a mosquito’s leg is, it is still meat.

“If the Syracuses hadn’t landed in full to attack us, we would have had enough troops in Turii.” Capps reassured them: “There are still 500 cavalry in Turii, and Sekelian’s The naval fleet is temporarily unable to go out, and some sailors can be dispatched to serve as light infantry. Of course, it is better to get some heavy infantry from

Castellon

City to enrich the army!”

Pus bowed and said in a deep voice, “Lord Capos, I will leave the safety of Turiyi to you.”

As soon as Kunogolata finished speaking, Cornerus and the other elders also thought of Cap. This is the first time that the traditional city-state elders have saluted the mercenary-born Capps so solemnly. He felt the pressure immediately, he returned a strong military salute, and then strode out of the venue.

The worried elders look at me, I look at you, and they all look at the empty seat in the front row in the center of the venue together.

Before, they were still a little entangled in Davos becoming the king. At this moment, this emotion has disappeared without a trace, and there is only one thought in their hearts: Davos, when will you come back to save Dionia?

…………………………

Syracuse Admiral Leputines had no plans to land on the coast of Turii and attack the city of Turii. He knew very well that Turri was not Terry. Na, it has enough manpower, it is impossible for sailors with simple equipment to take down this big city with high walls and strong defenses.

He also did not intend to send warships into the Krati River, because the Syracuses did not occupy one side of the river in Krati, and the city of Turii had iron chains. If his warships were blocked, they would be trapped. In the river, it is easy to be attacked by enemy rockets and burn to ashes…

Of course Leputines was reluctant to put his warships and sailors with extensive experience in such a dangerous situation. He only sent a very small number of sailors to attack the outskirts of Turii in order to force them to hide in the Krati River. The Dionian fleet came out for a decisive battle.

Compared to Leptines’ prudence, Syracuse’s mercenary cavalry acted very arrogantly and had no taboos.

Although Crimesa had called on the people to hide in the city because of the persecution of the enemy army, there were still a few who failed to move into the city in time and were slaughtered by alien cavalry, especially the Celts who used spears to pick them up. The heads of the Dionysian people, including women and children, passed by the city of Crimea with pride, making the soldiers of the Sixth Legion stationed at the head of the city angry, but they were unable to attack due to military orders

… The chief executive of Rimisa, Protesilaus, was restless in the city hall. When he

saw Olivers, the commander of the Sixth Army Corps, come in, he quickly greeted him: “Lord Olivers, you are back!

” Seeing the anxiety on Protesilaus’ face, Olivers couldn’t help but pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: “Is the enemy attacking us?” Of course this is impossible.

“What’s the matter, you still have the heart to joke!” Protsylaus said anxiously.

“What happened?!” Olivers restrained his smile and asked seriously.

“The family members of the people you detained came to the city hall to make trouble again. This time they gathered hundreds of people and threatened to say, ‘If their relatives are not released, they will set up tents in front of the city hall. Live for a long time!'” Mr. Plotsy said with a worried face, if he was disturbed by the people like this, he would be disgraced as a chief executive and would become a big joke for the entire senate in the future.

“They dare!” Olivers sneered, knowing that when he led the Sixth Army to Crimea before, he was blocked by a group of protesters outside the city gate. It was he who attacked the army and conspired to rebel. Detained, the army was able to enter the city.

In the past few days, he has been busy arranging the defense of the whole city. I don’t know when some rumors began to circulate in the city: “So many soldiers of the Sixth Legion are stationed in the city, it will only consume our little food and water, and wait until Syracuse. When the city was besieged, it was us Crimeans who starved to death first…”

“Now the Syracuses are burning our fields outside the city and slaughtering our relatives. The soldiers of the Sixth Legion should go out of the city and drive them away. , to protect our relatives and property, instead of hiding in the city as cowardly as a mouse…”

…

Olivers ignored these rumors and followed the established steps to improve the city’s defense.

He remained calm when he heard that the families of the detainees had gathered in front of the city hall today, because after he entered the city, the intelligence services of Aristillas had been placed in Crimea. After finding him quietly, he knew that during this period of time, the spies of Syracuse frequently came and went in and out of Crimea and colluded with some citizens of Crimea, which made the situation in the city so chaotic.

At this moment, he said in a deep voice: “Lord Protesilaus, the woman who assassinated Lord Davos was from Crimissa. Lord Davos was kind, and for the stability of the alliance, there was no further expansion of the investigation. But today it seems that , the problem in Crimea is very serious. Even if military control is adopted, the situation in the city is still chaotic these days. I am afraid that some of Syracuse’s spies are inciting trouble. If we do not take severe measures, once the enemy attacks in large numbers, we will The city is in danger when he is defending at the top of the city, and there is trouble in the city!”

Protesilaus’ face changed suddenly, and he asked, “What are you going to do?”

“Of course to find him, All those who cooperate with the enemy and make troubles will be tried and executed!” Olivers’ face was murderous, his palm was like a blade, and he swiped down forcefully.

Protesilaus was shocked and became hesitant again: “It’s too harsh to do this, they are all Union citizens!”

Olivers glanced at him with some contempt in his heart: this young Amendolara elder always supported Davos when he was in the Senate, and he was quite positive in his speeches.

But when it comes to taking charge of political affairs alone, he seems to be looking ahead and hesitating.

Therefore, when Scomblas was the chief executive of Crimesa, the political situation here was relatively stable; when it was his turn, not only did the assassination incident occur, but the situation was almost out of control…

“Mr. Plotsy, you have served as the Judges should be clear that our “Dionysian Military Law” stipulates that ‘those who escape seriously, rebels beheaded.’ And the “Dionysian Law” also stipulates that ‘the highest punishment for treason is the death penalty.’ Now it is During the war, shouldn’t these people who collude with our enemies, try to destroy our defense of Crimea and even betray the alliance, should be executed!” Olivers shouted sharply.

Mr. Plotsy thought for a while, then reluctantly said: “Okay, I agree with you. However, I hope you can show the people hard evidence before they can be executed.”

This is not easy.

Olivers thought to himself, he immediately agreed, and after leaving the city hall, he quickly called in the personnel of the intelligence department. After their identification, he led the soldiers to search more than a dozen suspicious people (all citizens of the original Crimea). ), found a large number of four drachma silver coins, letters, and even caught two Syracuse spies hiding in their home.

Protesilus was left speechless.

Olivers confronted the whole city on the square, showing evidence of collaborating with the enemy of more than a dozen citizens, beheading them on the spot, and arresting and detaining the troubled family members. Immediately, the chaotic situation in Crimesa was greatly improved. Under the command of Olivers, the people began to devote themselves to the defense of the city…

Ribazzo, the slave chief of Davos’s mansion, used to be in the front yard, and he always acted in a relaxed manner. His pace was not slow to show that he was different from ordinary slaves in terms of identity and demeanor, but today his legs were spinning like wheels, and in the blink of an eye, he ran across the front yard from the gate and came to the front of the back yard.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!…” He couldn’t hold back his excitement and knocked on the door.

The door was slammed open, and Asuna, who was watering the flowers, was holding a two-eared pottery bottle full of water in one hand. She even raised her eyebrows and scolded impolitely: “Uncle Ribazzo, you are still a supervisor! Don’t you know that Madam needs to rest well when she just gave birth! You knock on the door so loudly, the whole hill is full of Everyone can hear it! If you wake up little Eunice, cry, and the madam will blame it, I will see what you will do!”

“I’m sorry, Asuna, I’m so excited! Because… because Dai Lord Firth… our master is going to be king!” Ribazzo said excitedly.

“Really?!” Asuna covered her face with her hands in surprise. The pottery bottle fell to the ground and smashed into pieces, and she didn’t even notice it.

“What the elders announced to more than a thousand people in the square can still be false!” As soon as Ribazzo finished speaking, Asuna shouted and jumped, and ran to the back like a lunatic with joy.

“Young people are really not stable enough!” Ribazzo muttered a few words, bent down, and picked up the fragments of the pottery bottle, showing a look of regret: “It’s a pity, the fine Athenian pottery bottle.”

Azuna pushed open the bedroom I heard Agnes’ voice, “Asuna, Eunice is still sleeping, you are too loud!” Agnes has always been gentle with others, and speaking in such a tone already indicated that she was angry .
