Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 578

[Chapter 245 The confrontation with the Spartan messenger (2)]

Davos’s words made Kerethorps deeply disturbed, and he quickly said: “This is just a condition prepared by Sparta before the negotiation. You can also put forward your conditions first, and we will negotiate together.

” Thorpes.” Davos said coldly: “Now that the war in Great Greece has subsided, the situation in Sicily is relatively stable for Dionia, and I can draw more than 200 three-layer oars at any time. There are more than 50,000 soldiers! If I lead this huge fleet to the east all the way, and reach the Peloponnese in less than three days, will Sparta be able to stop it?!

” Si replied, and he said firmly: “No! Your fleet has already lost to Konon’s navy at Knidos, and now there are less than a hundred warships left, huddled in the Gulf of Corinth and dare not come out, it is not Diony at all. The opponent of the sub-fleet! If a fleet full of 50,000 soldiers then landed on the coast of Messenia, can your army stop it?!”

Daves’s mouth curled slightly: “No! Most of the Spartan soldiers were killed by They were sent to Corinth, a few were sent to Persia, and the rest had to suppress the domestic Heluos. Even if Sparta could gather all the soldiers, I, Dionia, would not be afraid at all! I believe that the number of Dionia is huge. And the elite legionnaires can completely defeat the Spartan warriors you are proud of!”

Davos said, punching the wooden table with an extremely confident punch, and with a “boom”, he had experienced countless life-and-death struggles. Kelishorpes shuddered subconsciously, and the fist seemed to hit him in the heart.

“Of course, I don’t need to work so hard at all.” The expression on Davos’ face suddenly turned relaxed again, and he said in a slow tone: “I just need to let the army disperse the remaining troops of Sparta in Messenia and block the Thai army. Gotos Pass, and then support the Helots – no, let the Messenians become independent, and arm them, and then withdraw the army, without consuming too much food and without too much fighting, But armed Messerians, can you Spartans handle it with ease? No, you can’t! The Messenians rioted all over you decades ago!”

More than suffering, Sparta had nothing to do with the rioting Messenians, and even begged Athens and other gangs to help them suppress these riots. As a result, the chief general of Athens at the time, Ke Meng brought thousands of Athenian soldiers to Sparta to help. Unexpectedly, because of the difference in political system and customs, they were met with a lot of suspicion and grievances. The soldiers returned home in anger. After the publicity, it aroused public anger against Sparta, which led to the resignation of the pro-Spartan leader Kemon, and Pericles became the new leader of Athens for several decades, and created the golden age of Athens.

Even with the help of the Allied forces, Sparta failed to destroy the rioting Messenians. Instead, it made life difficult for the people in the country. The Black Roths were inspired to resist constantly. In the end, Sparta had to cooperate with The rebels reached a compromise and allowed them to leave the Spartan territory freely…

It was a painful memory of the Spartans, but Davos said so easily that he would repeat this matter again,

how could he not let Kerry Thorps was shocked, he forced himself to be calm, and his face became a little more serious: “Dionia wants to declare war on Sparta?!”

“It’s not that we, Dionia, want to do this, but Sparta. Da is forcing Dionia to prepare for war!” Davos said in a deep voice.

“Persecuting Dionia?!” Kerethorpes seemed to have heard a joke, and he reminded seriously: “Sparta came to negotiate a friendly agreement with Dionia in good faith!”

“Syracuse Zha destroyed so many Greek city-states in Sicily, forcibly ordered the Sicilian city-states to obey his orders, but did not see Sparta come out to stop it! Dionysius led the army to invade Greater Greece, burned, killed, looted, committed all evil, and did not see you Sparta Reach out and stop it! Now I, Dionia, have defeated Syracuse and want to restore order in Great Greece and Sicily, and restore peace in this area. You Sparta poured out and stopped it! Is this the Spartans? Sincerity!” Davos said coldly, his tone gradually increasing.

“Davers, listen to me—” Clethorpes wanted to explain.

“Why does Sparta want to point fingers at Dionia, Great Greece, and Sicily!” Davos asked angrily, interrupting Clethorpes like a thunderbolt, “Just because of your thousands of soldiers? The tens of thousands of Peloponnesian allied troops?! And those mercenaries that are patched together?! With one order, I can gather more than 200 three-tiered oars and 50,000 elite soldiers to attack Peloponnese, tearing the Spartan territories and allies to pieces, so that the arrogant Spartans understand how to respect a powerful country, so that the greedy and selfish Spartans understand that the Western Mediterranean is not the Burrough Pennesas, don’t allow any outside forces to stir up the water!…”

Hearing Davos’ angry accusation and watching the new king waving his arms powerfully, Kerisopes remembered Phoebe a long time ago What he said when he asked Dionia to be punished at the council of elders after his mission to Dionia, “Dionia is a city-state alliance that respects force and is aggressive. We must find a way to limit it, otherwise It will bring us trouble in the future!” Not just trouble, but the biggest threat!

Davos in front of him seems to be a grown lion. He no longer hides his minions, but roars at the former Greek overlord, waving its sharp claws and fangs.

At this time, Kerethorpes calmed down instead, and he heard the clue from Daves’ rebuke: “King Daves, since you are not satisfied with the conditions of our peace talks, what are your conditions?

” The anger that Firth showed was not directed at Cleethorpes, but at the Spartan Council of Elders behind him. Hearing this, he felt that he had achieved his goal, and snorted coldly, his anger did not restrain, but No longer roaring, he said in a deep voice: “The Greeks in the Western Mediterranean can take care of our own affairs, and we don’t need Sparta to intervene. If Sparta can realize this, I don’t think Dionysus will take care of the East. Interest in Greek affairs in the Mediterranean, that is the basic condition for a peace agreement between Dionia and Sparta!”

Kerisopes was shocked and Davos was so ambitious that he wanted to share the Greek world of the Mediterranean with Sparta.

Although Sparta did not pay much attention to the Western Mediterranean, they supported Syracuse to help them guard the backyard of Sparta, although as Syracuse became stronger, Dionysius began to be less concerned. Obedient, but in the eyes of ordinary Spartan warriors, the Syracuses have always been the weaker party in the covenant and were dominated by Sparta, but now Dionia has officially proposed to be on an equal footing with Sparta… … Kerethorpes stared at Davos.

Davos looked at Kerethorpes firmly.

After a while, Kerisopes said, “I understand what you mean, and I will relay your words to the Council of Elders. I believe they will be able to answer quickly.”

“Yes, the development of the war in the Western Mediterranean. Very soon, I am afraid it will be a completely different situation in a few days, so it is important to hurry up.” Davers’ seemingly inadvertent reminder made Clethorpes’ heart tighten again.

After sending off Cleethorpes who had left in a hurry, Henepolis asked with concern: “Your Majesty, will the Spartans agree to your terms? And negotiate according to them?”

Davos said to This is not very sure, but he smiled slightly: “The present Dionia is not afraid of Sparta, and there is nothing to beg from Sparta. But the present Sparta is different from us, I believe The Spartans won’t be able to sleep for a long time after Clethorpes has relayed my threatening words to them.”

“But even if the Spartans and we had signed a friendly agreement like this, they would have I will hold a grudge against Dionia in my heart!” Henepolis said worriedly: “It’s better to take advantage of the fact that Sparta is now in the vortex of war and completely destroy it according to your plan just now!”

“Haha, He Ni, I can’t see that you hate Sparta more than I do!” Davos laughed.

“Your Majesty, I’m just… just worried about the future of Sparta…” Henepolis argued eagerly.

Davos patted him on the shoulder, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com said confidently: “Don’t worry, a city-state like Sparta has no future without our Dionysus shot!

” Firth does not remember this history clearly, but with his in-depth knowledge of the Greek mainland in recent years, he knows: Corinth, Argos in Sparta and the Peloponnese, Athens in Central Greece, The contradictions of Thebes are irreconcilable, and its war will continue.

Dionia finally ended the war with Syracuse, and urgently needed time to digest and absorb new land. There was no need to stab the hornet’s nest of Sparta. Even if it weakened it, it would not be of much benefit to Dionia. On the contrary, it will create better opportunities for other city-states in Greece, such as Athens and Thebes… Or let them contain and kill each other, so that Dionia will have more time to develop.

……………………………………

As Davos expected, the Spartan Council of Elders, although angry on the surface, felt fear in their hearts after receiving the report from Kerethorpes: The Dionian army in Greece was ready to go, but Sparta was unable to open up a new battlefield.

The Spartans were ridiculed by the Greeks as “venomous snakes hiding behind Mount Parnon”, which means that these 60-70-year-old Spartan elders seem arrogant and conservative, but in fact they know how to adapt to the times and are purely self-interested. Activists.
