Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 523

[Chapter 190 Davers’ Strategic Plan]

“Since Dionysius wants to have peace talks, what are the conditions he gave?” Davos asked calmly, as if the words Damocles said before had never happened, but instead let Damocles say Moklis felt the pressure.

He bowed and said: “The proposal of Lord Dionysius is, ‘The army of Syracuse returns to Sicily and returns all the occupied lands and towns of Greater Greece, as well as the prisoners. But the South Italian Alliance must also guarantee that, There must be no war with the Lochry Alliance…”

“What?!” Henepolis couldn’t hold back after hearing this, and shouted again: “Do you think we are fools! Killing so many Dionysians , turned the territory outside Crimesa and Asprostum into ruins, and provoked civil strife in the Bruti region… Now that you have been defeated and trapped in the Silithium, we are going to talk to you Calculate the blood debts, but you want to escape back to Sicily with one peace negotiation, it’s not that easy!”

This time, Damocles didn’t turn a blind eye, he looked at Davos, earnestly He said, “It’s not our Syracuse side who has the final say, you can also put forward your conditions.”

Davos pondered for a while, and said slowly: “Come back tomorrow, I need to seriously consider this matter. , and I have to discuss with Trina and

Siriting.” Damocles heard this, and looked at the tangled expression on Davos’ face, and immediately rejoiced in his heart: It seems that there is really hope for this peace negotiation!

After Damocles left, Henepolis finally couldn’t hold back, and asked with a look of surprise: “Your Majesty, you… do you really want to talk to the Syracuses?!”

“Do you think it’s possible! The calm look on Davos’ face suddenly turned sharp.

“But you just… just—” Henepolis seemed to realize something.

“The words of the envoy of Syracuse just reminded me that even if we eliminate the enemies here, Syracuse may still piece together another army and continue to fight against us, so–” Davos looked with bright eyes. Looking at the lively camp in front of him, he said in a firm tone: “We can’t just keep our eyes on the Great Greece. There is a saying, ‘If you beat the wolf, you won’t die, but you will be injured by the wolf.’ The wolf that killed Syracuse

!” Henney Poliston was excited: “Your Majesty, are you going to attack Sicily?!”

Davos nodded, considering that this young man would be his confidant in the future , also revealed a hint of tone: “Aristillas’s men have already been active in Sicily. With the victory of this battle, we need to add more strength-”

At this time, Tormide looked happy. Come to report: “Report, Your Majesty,

Cykrian sent a messenger, and his fleet landed on the coast of Hibernian with 5,000 Lijim soldiers, and has surrounded the city of Hibernian!”

Davos had heard Hiros before. He was not surprised when he said about their plans. He touched his chin, pondered for a while, and then gave an order: “Thormid, you go and call Hiros, Antonios, and Hieronymus. ”

Yes.” Thormed turned to leave.

“Herny, I dictate, you record and write a letter.”

“Okay.” This was the first time Henepolis accepted an assignment as a clerk, and he answered excitedly.

The tent had not been built yet, so he looked around, quickly found a piece of wood, cut a piece of papyrus, lay down on the grass, and asked, “Who is this letter to?

” Lord

Ruth.”

“Oh.” Henepolis rolled his eyes, and he knew that this was Davos’ father-in-law.

………………………………

Not long after, several generals arrived.

Davos didn’t talk to them much, but said bluntly: “Time is urgent! Lijim’s army landed on Cykrian’s warship and surrounded the city of Hibernian. Medema’s garrison is likely to go north. Rescue, I ask you to lead the troops under your command to Hibernian immediately, repel the reinforcements from Lokrie, and capture the city of Hibernian, and I will send you an additional siege battalion.”

Davos said, His eyes swept across the faces of the generals he trusted, and finally fell on Hiros: attacking Kraos, marching quickly to Trina, decisively heading north to cut off the return journey of the Syracuse army… Hiros Davos was amazed by the series of military actions taken by the independent leaders during this period.

Therefore, he said slowly: “This time, Hiros will serve as the commander of the army, and you must obey his orders!”

Ryders heard this and had no objection. With an independent military operation, siege and attack on the city of Xiliting, the cavalry was useless, and it was enough for him to be happy to be able to send it out to fight.

Hieronymus frowned and said nothing.

Back then, when he was in Persia, he was a general of the mercenary army, and Hiros was only a team captain. His qualifications were much more than Hiros’s, but now he has to listen to Hiros’s command. , but as long as Hieronymus can be valued by the commander and has a place to show his talent, he has little desire to fight for power.

What’s more, in the past few years in Greater Greece, Hiros’s performance is obvious to all, whether it is military or government affairs, he admires.

Antonios felt uncomfortable.

After all, Hiros was his subordinate in the past, but now he has to listen to Hiros’s command, which is very awkward.

What’s more, he thinks that his ability is not inferior to that of Hiros, and he is leading the most powerful First Legion in Dionia. If those proud soldiers hear about this, it is estimated that they will be in trouble.

Thinking of this, he was about to speak.

Hiros has already said first: “Your Majesty, I think Lord Anton Rios is more suitable to serve as the commander of this military operation. He is not only experienced, but also the first legion under his command is the most reliable force in this operation! He Being a commander can make all the brothers who go to battle willing to obey the command!”

Antonios glanced at him, then turned to look at Davos.

Davos smiled slightly. After several years of tempering, Hiros became more euphemistic.

Davos shook his head lightly: “Antonios cannot serve as the commander of the attack on Hibernian. The First Army he leads has more important tasks to perform!”

Antonis heard doubts in his heart: there is nothing better than attacking Sirius, Is there something more important about attacking Locri?

!

“General Hieronymus, Commander of Legion Ryders, you two will do your best to assist Hiros to repel the Lokri and take down Hibernian as soon as possible!” Davos clenched his fists and waved hard: “Then If you have a chance, take it, and let the Locris have no place on the west coast of Greater Greece!”

Hieronymus and Ryders immediately expressed their willingness to follow Hiros’s command.

“Just my suggestion just now. The specific actions have to be flexibly formulated by you according to the situation on the battlefield. You don’t need to ask me for instructions. I believe that the results you will get will exceed my expectations.” Davers inspired the three, and then He said to Hiros again: “This time, going to Hibernian involves cooperation with Lijim’s army. You have to handle your relationship with them.”

“I will, Your Majesty.” Hiros nodded cautiously.

“But you don’t have to worry too much. Lijim’s commander-in-chief is named Feidun. I heard that he is a Lijim who is brave and good at fighting, easy to get along with, and knowledgeable about the overall situation.” Davers comforted him.

Then, he looked at Antonios and said solemnly: “After the First Legion goes to Hibernian and assists Hiros and the others in repelling the reinforcements from Locri, if it is easier to capture Hibernian City, then the First Legion will participate in the attack. If the siege takes a long time, the First Legion should not stay in Hibernian for a long time, and the fleet of Cykrian will be docked on the coast of Hibernian, and all the soldiers of the First Legion will be on board. Go to Lijim.”

“The First Legion to Lijim?!” Antonios was a little surprised.

“Yes, go to Lijim.” Davos took a letter from Henepolis and handed it to Antonios, earnestly instructing: “You give this letter to Lord Atili Cruz in Lijim. , if he provides you with rations and other assistance as stated in the letter, then the final destination of the First Army is Sicily. If he refuses, then the First Army can only return to Hibernian.”

“Sicily”—— When Davos spit out the word, the generals present were shocked.

“What? Scared?!” Davos looked at Antonios teasingly.

Originally, Antonios was a little dissatisfied with Davos’s selection of Hiros as the expedition commander. Now that he knew that he would lead his army to leave Greater Greece and go on a solo expedition to Sicily across the sea, he couldn’t help feeling quite pressured, but Davos’ fierce command made him bite the bullet and say: “The First Army…willing to go to Sicily.”

“The First Army’s combat power is the most powerful of the Dionian Army, and many of the soldiers participated in Persia back then. Old brothers of the expedition, they have a wealth of experience in fighting in enemy territory. Therefore, if the first legion cannot implement this battle plan, it is even less likely that the other legions will gain a firm foothold in Sicily!” Davos said to Antonio expectantly. S said.

Antonios forced a smile in response.

“You don’t have to be too nervous. Although most of Sicily is now under the control of Syracuse, Syracuse relies on powerful military force and tyrannical killing to deter those originally independent Sicilian city-states. , forcing them to surrender. Dionysius set up tyrants to help him rule these city-states, and levied high tributes to maintain his huge army expenses, the Greek people in Sicily, and even the people in the city of Syracuse. They are already very dissatisfied with Dionysius!”
