Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Looking at Fibidas’s unwillingness to get on the boat, leaving the port of Tarantum, Diomeras immediately changed his face and said seriously to Marcus: “Spartans have a saying It’s right, Tarantum is no longer in the air, and even the new city states like Diaonia without any historical traditions must despise us!”

"Do you really want to fight Mesapi?!" 攸Marcus was hesitant.

“Don’t Mesapi people have been fighting war against us all the time!” Dai Omira asked, he said with distress: “It’s that we have been patient with the Mesapi people, and it will become more and more like us. Thum is weak, will increase the intrusion to us more and more, and let other Greek city-states increasingly ignore the existence of Tarantum! We must fight back and completely solve the problem of Mesapi!"

"A complete solution?! You didn't tell me this last time!" said Macas, frowning.

Dai Mi Milas said that he missed his mouth and said: "I mean to focus on the first to seize the Manduria that threatens us the most, and then look at the opportunity to capture Brindisi, so that our The strength will be greatly enhanced! Other Mesapi city states can slowly attack..."

攸Marcas has some heartbeat, but he still hesitates: "Are we defeating the strength of Mesapi's main force in one fell swoop?"

"Of course we have it!" Dai Olilas firmly said, in order to convince his colleagues, he added: "And we have a strong reserve force!"

"What reserve power?" 攸Marcas.

Diomeras pointed to the west of the sea: "Diaonia, our alliance, we have helped it for so long, it should also be effective!"

攸Marcas finally said: "I will support your proposal in the Senate."

"Damn, the big Greek city-states of Dionia, Castellón, Tarantum are all in one group!" Fibidas said angrily on the boat.

“Come us to Crotone?” Dorobesis suggested carefully.

Pfeidas glanced at him and said, "Go to Syracuse!"

Fibidas certainly knows that Crotone and Dionia have a bad relationship because of the previous war. But he can't go because Crotone's enemies can be more than Dionya, Locke has a worse relationship with him, and Locke is the Spartan ally Syracuse's ally in Greater Greece. If he went to Crotone, it was estimated that Syracuse should go to Sparta to complain. Although he was bent on revenge for Dionya, he did not imagine that Tiblonyi was exiled, not to mention that Syracuse was a better partner than Crotone.

It was only with the Sicilian lord who heard that he was overbearing. Phibidas felt that he should learn from the lessons of being too arrogant in Great Greece, and change his way to achieve his own purpose.

The newly built Clithista restaurant in Turui is located in the southwestern part of the city near the pier. Compared with another Clithista restaurant next to the current Turif market, it faces mainly the citizens of the Union. State messengers and wealthy businessmen therefore offer high-end dishes such as yak and mutton. To this end, a part of the restaurant was also specially cut into small open-air yards for smoke evacuation during barbecue.

When Timason, Zantitipis and Kryano were invited by Agarcia to enter the yard, they were not unfamiliar with everything in front of them. After all, they enjoyed it in the house of Davers.

Kriano is interested in the price of yak and mutton. When he eats, he asks the slaves who are serving: "How much does it cost to eat this once?"

The slave thought about it and said, "A distinguished guest, it depends on how much you eat? Usually, a person needs about two to five drachmas."

"So expensive!" Crianno shouted in surprise: "I can't earn a drachma every day!"

"It is more expensive than ordinary dishes, but it is worth the price!" The slave explained patiently: "First of all, the beef and mutton in our restaurant are all purchased from Niutum, Lukaria's cattle and sheep, all big. Greece is famous, and the price is certainly not cheap. Secondly, the restaurant needs to send people to the high mountain top in the west to collect unmelted ice and snow to freeze the meat. This is a very risky thing! Then, There are some good-cut meat slaves who are constantly cutting out thin and even pieces of meat for you. The shop also hired a chef from Egypt to prepare a variety of sauces for you. Finally, I am always waiting for you... ...you see, there are so many complicated processes, so many people can make the yak and mutton you like, do you think it is expensive?!"

"You have a clever mouth!" Criano couldn't help but sigh. Then he sighed again and said bluntly: "It is a slave!"

"Although I am a slave now, the benevolent master still pays me every day. According to the slave bill promulgated by the Union, 'a slave can work hard to pay the redemption money as long as he works hard for the master for more than four years. With the consent, you can become a free man.' And our owner, Christopher, is as kind as Darfus, and she has issued a sacred promise in front of our great **** Hades! Therefore, I want to be in ten After a year, I will be a Diaonian citizen!” The slaves shone with gratitude and hope.

Davers, you can really buy people! Don't you fear that the slave owners are opposed? Kriano looked at the slightly excited slave, did not say this, and asked casually: "What is your name?"

"Tanarus."

"I hope that your wishes can be realized." Kryno said in disbelief.

Tanarus responded with pleasure: "Thank you for your blessing, kindhearted guests!"

"You see, finally someone has a good heart!" Tima Song joked.

"Tima Song, are you jealous?!" Kryano pretending to be angry and holding the beer can: "Come, let's drink!"

"Hey, about your amount of alcohol, want to pour me?!" Tima Song did not take the glass, and picked up the wine can: "Come, let's finish it!"

"Drink and drink!" The two poured their heads on their heads.

Zandiparis yelled: "You both drink slower. Agacia has to spend a lot of money to invite us to dinner!" Then he joked to Agarcia and said: "This restaurant should be worn. For the industry of Fors, you should let him pay less when he checks out."

"Oh... you don't worry about Agacia. He is a veteran of the Senate. How could it be impossible for even dozens of drachmas to come out!" Kryno said in a cellar, loudly, there is The taste of sour acid.

"Kryano is right. You don't have to worry about money. Let's let go of it this evening and let go!" Agarcia didn't seem to hear the irony in Kryano's words, saying loudly.

"Give me a can of beer!" Tima Song said to Tanaros: "This wine is good, I love to drink!"

"Give me another can!" Crianno shouted.

"Please wait a moment." Tanarus rushed to the door and shouted the guests' needs at the waiters in the hallway.

The banquet lasted for about half an hour, and everyone was slightly drunk.

"A year ago, we were fighting every day with the Persians. Everyday we saw the stiff bodies of our comrades. We couldn’t hope to live back to Greece at that time, and we wouldn’t think that we would be like this today. Happy to drink and eat meat..." Zandiparis said with a lot of emotion: "It's not easy! We really appreciate the blessing of the gods!"

"For us to live together toasting!" Tima Song toasting initiative.

"Thank you for the blessing of Zeus (Hades)!" Others responded one after another.

Zandiparis put down the glass and said: "Agacia, aren't you just let us drink and eat?" Careful, he has long found that Agarcia's look is a bit depressed.

Agacia extended the colander of the meat to stop in the air. For a moment, he put down the colander, wiped the wine stains on his lips, and looked at the three people who were looking for his eyes. He said: "Today, the messenger of Sparta came and asked the Alliance to arrest you and hand it over to you. Sparta..."

The news that the Spartan warship arrived in Turui had spread in the port. Of course, Tima Song knew that they just did not expect the Spartan messenger to come for them.

"How did you answer the Spartans?" Kryno asked urgently, and the other two were also nervous.

"You can rest assured ~www.novelmtl.com~ Even if the Spartans threatened with war, Davers still firmly rejected the Spartan messenger!" Agarcia's answer made the three people breathe.

"Duffus is the leader who often wins the battle. He is not afraid of the threat of the Spartans!" At this moment, Crianno praised Devers.

"In fact, the Spartans are not terrible. We followed them in Asia Minor for more than half a year and learned about Sparta. Their generals are indeed very combative, but they can really send Spartan citizens on the battlefield too. Less, the outbound operations mainly rely on the Allied forces and our mercenaries. The combat effectiveness is not too strong. It is difficult for them to deal with Persia. I don’t think they have the strength to challenge the Alliance!... ..." Tima Song also advised.

These words did not seem to have much impact on Agacia. His eyes stared straight at the ground in front of him, and his face was apologetic and said: "I was forced to ask Daves for permission, and I will introduce you to Asia Minor. Come... In order to attract you all, I have freely opened up some conditions that the alliance does not exist. I want you to come to a peaceful life like us, but I didn’t expect it to happen. So many conflicts and disputes have caused you so much suffering and suffering from the dissatisfaction of the coalition citizens... oh, now Sparta is hostile to the Alliance! To this end, Davers is also blamed by the elders! ...I am really doing something wrong?!"
