Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The news of the defeat of Crotone's army reached the city of Crotone, and the city was shocked.

There was a heated debate in the emergency council of the City Hall.

The chief general, Milon, screamed at the despicable (and sneak attack) of Amendola and the incompetence of Melanus, and proposed to organize another army to crusade Amendola and re-establish the reputation of Crotone.

Lucias slammed Milon and thought that it was his order to burn the city that caused the uneasiness of the surrounding city-states and turned to Crotone. Now that Crotone is in a big defeat, he should not move his sword again. The siege of city-states such as Rocky, Tarantum, and Amendola.

Both sides have their own fans and disputes.

Half a day later, the news of the deliberate dissemination of the Amendo Lara-Turiyi Union (hereafter referred to as the Tua League) came again: the Tua Union captured more than 5,000 Crotons and captured Asprostum About a thousand people are in the West Chamber, and 1,200 people are captured in Crimea and Castellón, and there are more than 1,000 free people and slaves...

The sad Crotone inside heard the news and saw hope. They gathered and went to the City Hall to pressure the council to redeem their loved ones.

At this time, there was news that the Tua League and Tarantum became the offensive and defensive alliance.

Milon finally stopped insisting on his own opinion. After discussion, the council decided to send Lucias as a messenger. He sent Turui to redeem the Crotone prisoners in the hands of the Tua Union. If necessary, he could sign a truce and a discussion.

Lucias led the messenger group to the north by boat and was catching up with the wind. He came to the mouth of the Krati River in less than half a day. Here he saw a surprise scene: countless merchant ships lined up in the estuary, like a From time to time, there are ships between the wooden walls and the wooden walls, and there are constantly ships coming together from all directions...

Was the city of Turui not burned? How come there are so many merchant ships to trade? Lucias has doubts.

Soon, his doubts were answered, and a simple fishing boat greeted him: "Hey, are you coming to buy or sell things, or are you talking about things?" a man at the bow said loudly.

After following the instructions of Lucias, he asked: "What are you doing?"

"Do you see the pattern drawn on the sails?" The man's smug hand pointed upwards, and the black hair on the sail was like a flame wrapped around the center of a cold weapon - that is the sign of Pluto's double-strand fork: "Do you know, our governor, Daphus, is a descendant of Hades! My name is Seclyan, and now I am the navigator appointed by the commercial officer Mariji, who is responsible for maintaining the smoothness of the waterway. You must tell me that you are coming. What to do, otherwise I can only ask you to leave, so as not to block the route of the ship behind."

Lucias hesitated, decided to make a decision and shouted to the other side: "We are the messengers from Crotone, especially to negotiate with the Tua League!"

Without anger, no insults and other unusual emotions, Sekerian calmed down and nodded and said: "You Crotone is really calm and angry. Now come. Castellon, Crimea, Silitine The messenger has come early!"

Lucias moved in the heart, and the entourage asked curiously: "How are you not angry?!"

"Why should I be angry, because you are Crotones." Sekrian shrugged: "You burned Turui, but I am not a Turi citizen. I am just a free man. On the contrary, I still I am very grateful to you Crotone."

Sekerian’s mysterious smile, then said: “Don’t say more to you, go with my boat, don’t block the channel.”

The fishing boat of Sekerian led Lucias into the Krati River and sailed upstream.

Lucias looked at the estuary of the North Bank. It was faintly visible that several simple wooden piers were set up on the shore. The goods were unloaded from the merchant ships, and the goods were transported by a single car to the earthen not far from the pier. The location seems to be in the old city of Barris.

Lucias frowned. When the Crotone inside messenger questioned why Turri violated the agreement, he was approved by all the members of the council. However, Lucias objected to the attack on Turai and the revenge for the messenger. He believed that: accepting the map Lie’s apology and more compensation have already reached the goal of Crotone. There is no need to send troops to fight, and both the labor and the wounded, and the fear of accidents. As a result, after Crotone's fiasco, now Turui finally stopped using Croton's attitude and re-started using the old city of Barris.

"You haven't said why you want to thank us Crotone?" Someone in the messenger group asked aloud at the bow.

Sekerian replied loudly on the fishing boat: "Isn't this obvious? If you don't have Crotone to burn Turui, there will be no Amendora and Turui, and there will be no wear. Foss is our governor. He is a descendant of Hades. His identity is so noble. He is very concerned about the people. Not only does it have no discrimination against our free people and slaves, but it is also quite friendly, just like treating citizens! You Have you heard of the Amendora Lara Immigration Law proposed and developed by Daphus? Oh no, it should now be called the Tua Union Immigration Act."

The Crotones shook their heads.

Sekerian, a "you are ignorant" look, said the general content of the immigration law loudly, and then excitedly said: "Dafus said that the city of Turui was initially built, and the bill will be implemented. All free people who want to become Tuli citizens and perform well can apply to the household registration office to apply for registration. I heard that they have become a reserve citizen and can join the army to fight and get a share of land! Now my companions are desperately trying. Work, I can't wait to build Turui tomorrow, maybe I will become a formal citizen when you come next time!"

Seeing Sekkrian’s intoxicating look, some people couldn’t help but refute: “I have never heard of any city-state that would make foreigners become citizens so easily. Maybe this immigration law is deceptive, in order to let You worked hard to make them work for them!"

"Close your mouth, don't talk nonsense!" Sekrian was furious: "How can this Act of Daves, standing in front of all our free people and slaves, be fake? What is Davers? People?! In the face of the threat of Turui, it is better to break the hand, but also to save the promise of the freedom of escape slaves! Faced with the army of Crotone, forced to fight with you, rather than with the occupation Turui broke off! Davers’s use of facts proves that he is a person who keeps his promise, so he said, I believe, we all believe! If it is not because you are the messenger of negotiations, I will send you now. Feed the fish in the river!!"

The Crotones blushed and couldn't help but wanted to swear aloud. Lucias stopped the impulse of the followers.

Sekerian looked coldly at the movement of the ship behind him. When the situation quickly settled down, he was a little disappointed. He deliberately spit out the river on the side of the rear side and then ignored them.

Lucias is immersed in meditation: As far as he knows, Turai’s current number of citizens is probably no more than 3,000, and Amendora’s citizens are estimated to have a maximum of 4,000. Crotone is the number of citizens in the city. Up to more than 30,000 people, as well as the affiliated Asprostum, the Allied city state, the West Bank, Coleonia, etc., the strength is completely different. But if the Tua Union can use the tens of thousands of free people and slaves here for it, it really needs attention. It’s just that this hastily made the foreigners from all over the world, who are distracted, become city-state citizens. Can their loyalty to the city-state be compared with the aborigines who have been city-state citizens for generations?

Lucias expressed deep suspicion.

He stared at the river and saw many fishing boats with double-stranded patterns on the sails coming and going, unusually busy...

There is a towering city wall on the bank of the current river. Lucias knows that the city of Turui is coming, and his eyes are on the riverside tower on the wall~www.novelmtl.com~The two towers are connected to the tower above the tower. An iron chain is quite spectacular, and when the enemy ship strikes, the chain will be put down, preventing the enemy from entering the city of Turui from the waterway. As a result, this time, Melanius used the traitor to directly attack the south city and let this article The chain did not play a role, but now it has disappeared. It should have been cut off by Melanusius... Think of Meranthus, although Lucias is not very good with Melanthus, even The ruling idea is completely opposite, but after hearing his tragic end (when the Turai people were killed, the flesh and blood were blurred, they could not see the human form at all), they could not help but feel sad.

Secolian’s fishing boat docked at the pier in the city of Turui. He first disembarked and ran to report to a group of soldiers stationed at the dock.

The team of soldiers, led by the captain, quickly came to this side.

The Crotones noticed that even in the city, the soldiers still maintained a complete formation.

"General, we should get off the boat." The follower reminded Lucias who was thinking.

Looking back at Lucias, he looked around: he had been to Turui several times, when there were more than a dozen piers in the port of Turui, stone, wooden, and hundreds of ships. Docked, the port area has warehouses, hotels, and residential buildings, which are bustling and messy. And now there are only a few solitary stone piers left, and there is a blackness everywhere. Of course, this is a masterpiece of the Crotones!

Lucias calmly got off the boat. The soldiers looked at them calmly. After confirming that it was the messenger group of Crotone, immediately a soldier rode to report to the Senate, and the messenger group continued in the original. Waiting for the ground.

Sekerian returned to the fishing boat and watched the mighty patrol captain on the shore. Until the companion came over to remind him: "Sekerian, it is time to leave the dock!"
