Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 577

[Chapter 244 The confrontation with the Spartan messenger (1)]

Recalling that when Dionysus was on the last mission to Turii, Dionysus was still in danger under the threat of the army of Dionysius. Unexpectedly, a few months later, the soldiers of Syracuse needed the Dionysian to nod and agree. To be able to go home alive…everything happened so fast it was like a dream.

Kerethorpes cheered up and walked into the city.

In this war, the Silitinians were either killed or sold, and there were not many left, but now there are quite a lot of residents in the city, not only the second, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh The soldiers of the Legion, as well as the troops led by Hiros and Hieronymus, who conquered Lokri and his allies, also returned to Cilidia.

It stands to reason that the prisoners of Syracuse are being sent back in batches, and Dionia’s legionary troops should also be disbanded and go home in batches to ease the pressure on logistical supplies and at the same time ease the shortage of labor in the alliance.

But Davos considered that the Great Greek War had just ended, and the city-states who surrendered were not attached to the hearts of the people, so he was afraid of repeating himself, so he gathered a large number of troops in the Siri Court, and remembered the role of shocking Xiaoxiao, so as to smoothly implement a series of governance implemented by Dionia. Greater Greece Program.

In addition, there is a special group in the city, that is, the nearly 1,000 engineers and craftsmen groups in the Syracuse army. Davos has been waiting for them for a long time, so he just waited for the Syracuse army. Surrender, he immediately ordered these people to be protected, and he did not hesitate to break his promise. In the negotiation with Ferrosanus, he did not count these people in the ranks of release, and he also forced Ferrosanus to agree to Their request was fulfilled: their families would be delivered by Dionia’s fleet.

Davers also made various promises to these people, such as citizenship, land, a good research environment, etc., and finally managed to “retain” these people.

The Dionian soldiers wandered and chatted on the streets in twos and threes, with a relaxed expression on their faces. Even when they saw Kerethorpes, they just glanced at them curiously, and there was no patrol captain who stepped forward to lead the way. The questioning did not reveal the slightest reverence, just like seeing an ordinary person.

Although Kerethorpes was dressed so distinctly: scarlet cloak, long hair, and thick beard, Sparta was the only one in Greece.

The Dionian soldiers were far more composed than when Kerethorpes traveled to Turii a few months earlier.

Kerisopes couldn’t help but think: maybe because of their victory over the mighty Syracuse, Dionia had become the Greek overlord of the Western Mediterranean, so there were no Greek city-states to fear them any more…

think of this , Chrysopus felt that this was the significance of the Spartan Council of Elders eagerly sending him to Dionia again, and he felt a great responsibility.

The Dionysian soldiers were more likely to gather in the arena to participate in or watch the rugby matches of the various regiments organized by the senior team officers. But didn’t have time to watch.

He was quickly taken to the city hall,

but was informed that King Davos was receiving visitors in the living room and asked him to wait in the side room.

This wait is more than ten minutes. If it is other Spartan messengers, I am afraid that they will be angry long ago, and they will think this is an insult to Sparta.

Clethorpes was able to restrain himself, because he did see the visitors, indicating that the Dionysians were not lying, not trying to make things difficult, but not like other Greek city-states who regarded the Spartan messengers as the most important thing. That’s it.

In this regard, Kerisopes can only bear it. After all, this is not mainland Greece, not Ionia, not Asia Minor, but Greater Greece, where Sparta has a weak influence, and it has never been afraid of Sparta. Dionia!

“Kerry Thorpes, it’s a pleasure to see you again!” Davers showed enthusiasm after seeing him, and also said specifically: “I’m so sorry for making you wait for a long time just now! Several Cullens came here before. Nia’s general, it took me a lot of time.”

Corenia?

!

A move in Kerisopes’ heart: it was the city-state of the South Italian Alliance. First, it betrayed Dionia and went to Syracuse, and then after the defeat of Syracuse, it returned to Dionia

… After almost all of them were conquered by Dionysus, Cleethorpes could think of why this discredited city-state sent messengers here, and he calmed down and said, “Davos, congratulations on defeating Dionysus. Hughes, won this war!”

“Sparta sent you here just to congratulate me?” Davos had a smile on his face, but his words went straight to the point.

“You have defeated Sparta’s ally Syracuse, and also sent troops to land in Sicily, and occupied some of the Greek city-states in Sicily… The Spartan Council of Elders felt the aggression displayed by Dionia Pay attention, send me to Davos…King, do you understand that Dionia is hostile to Sparta?!” Kerethorpes stared at Davos and said the last sentence in a deep voice.

Kerisopes’ words made Davos’s expression serious, and he said seriously: “I have already told you Phoebedas who helped Dionysius invade my great Greece before, as long as Sba Da has no ill will towards Dionysian, and Dionia has no ill will towards Sparta, and I have no interest in the land on the other side of the Adriatic Sea.”

“Sparta certainly has no enmity towards Dionia! “Cleethorpes immediately made a solemn statement: “Sparta helped Syracuse because we had a covenant with Dionysius. When this covenant was established, there was no Dionysian alliance in Great Greece. We have to act according to the oath of Hercules, but this will not happen again from now on!”

Davos immediately tasted something from Kerethorpes’ words, and raised his eyebrows: ” Sparta gave up Dionysius?”

Clethorpes did not answer directly, but suggested: “Davers, since neither of us is hostile, do you think we should enter into an agreement, In order to avoid the two powerful city-states and city-state alliances of Sparta and Dionia being involved in meaningless wars because of some unnecessary frictions and conflicts.”

Rarely did Davos meet the guests when he did not Henepolis, who was interjecting, looked at Kerethorpes and Davos at the moment, and his expression seemed excited: Sparta recognized that Dionia had an equal status with it, and took the initiative to come to Dio Nia seeks a peace deal?

!

!

Davos still looked calm, he didn’t consider this so-called glory at all, but continued to ask: “What kind of agreement?”

It has always been other Greek city-states who went to Sparta to beg for agreements and covenants. The elders of Sparta put forward various harsh conditions according to the situation to gain benefits for Sparta. To seek agreements like today, they have to be forced to first. Showing his cards is a bit unaccustomed to Kerethorpes, but the bad situation Sparta is facing now forces him to bow his head. Sign a long-term peace agreement with Dionia, both sides will maintain peace, not aggress each other, and will not participate in the hostile actions of other city-states against each other!” At this point, Clethorpes paused.

Davos understood that the reason why Sparta made this proposal was probably because he was worried about Dionia joining the anti-Spartan alliance. It seemed that the situation in Sparta was not very good.

Seeing that Davos’s expression remained unchanged, Kerisopes couldn’t guess what he was thinking. He took a deep breath and continued to say the conditions set out by the council of elders: “At the same time, Sparta will force Syracuse to accept it. Armistice and make war reparations to Dionysus, and hope that Dionysus will not push Syracuse and its allies too much, and stop further encroaching on the interests of Syracuse. After all, Sparta is still Syracuse. Allies of ours, who have been friendly for decades…” Kerethorpes said here, and looked at Davos again.

Davos still couldn’t see the anger and anger on his face, but the clerk next to Henepolis couldn’t help but said: “Syracuse has signed a peace treaty with us, Sparta… What rights does Sparta have? Come and interfere with our Dionia’s handling of the aftermath of the war!”

Clethorpes ignored Henepolis, and seeing that Davos was still silent, he continued: “In addition, Tarantum is here. Once provoked by Syracuse to wage war against Dionia, they have been punished by the gods, and now the aliens are besieging this great city-state, and the lands of the Greeks are being occupied by aliens! Tarantu Mu has recognized his previous mistakes and is willing to pay Dionysian large war reparations in order to get your forgiveness. As the mother state of Tarantum, Sparta must protect this country that is connected to our blood. The city of Sparta, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com hopes that Dionia can release Tarantum’s captives, so that Tarantum can resist the attack of aliens and become a barrier to the east of Greater Greece!”

“At this time, the Spartans are concerned about the safety of Great Greece!” Henepolis sneered angrily: “When Dionysius led his army to invade Great Greece, burned, looted, and even slaughtered the people of Silesia , why didn’t you Spartans come out to dissuade you! Tarantum tore up the covenant and suddenly attacked the land of Dionia, where are you!

” Davos said: “This is the conditions of the peace negotiation formulated by the Spartan Council of Elders after many discussions. The specific details need to be further negotiated with King Davos.”

“This is the sincerity of Sparta’s negotiation .

No need to talk about it anymore.” Davos’s calm tone was like the sea before the storm, he stared at Kerethorpes, his eyes were like sharp blades shining with cold light: “Kelethorpes, in Persia, you and I are comrades-in-arms, we have been born and died together, if you come to visit me in a private capacity today, I will welcome you! But as a Spartan messenger, I can only say sorry!” (https://) “Ancient Greece” “Mediterranean Overlord” only represents the views of the author Chen Rui.
