Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

When Plesinus did enter the big port of Tarantum, he did not see several Tarantum warship detachments that were usually patrolling offshore. Despite this, he continued to ask the Tarantum Senate with a cheeky face: even if only a few warships were sent to Turui.

In his mind, he had a small abacus: Crotone had never dared to provoke Tarantum in the case of a war with Dionia, so even though only a few Tarantum warships patrolled the eastern coast of Dionia. In order to act as a facade, it can also play a deterrent role, thus ensuring the basic security of the coastline of Deonia.

But the Tarantum Senate still persuaded Plesinus, but he refused to let the cheeky return.

Plesinus had just returned to the port of Turui, and the fleet of Crotone was here. Turai’s maritime trade route was immediately cut off and the port fell into panic.

Olivers arrived with a large number of patrols to help Mariji maintain order.

After learning about Tarantum’s decision, Davers talked for a moment and said to the clerk Aristocrate next to him: “I seem to remember that the Spartan messenger had been to Tarantum?”

"Yes, Aristilas reported at the time, 'The Spartans hope that Tarantum will abolish our alliance with us and take the lead to confront us, but it is rejected by the Tarantum Senate."

"But it still works." Daves sighed and sneered: Tarantum, this is to sit on the mountain! Yeah, this war will ultimately depend on ourselves!

"You tell Aristilas that you can close the net for the Crotone spy."

"Yes!"

........................

The Dionyans closed the port, and in the expectation of Tratus, he had already consulted with the receiving Crotone Clipboat in advance: every night on the specific beach at the estuary of the Krati River His intelligence.

Just as he started to write a secret letter, the door was suddenly knocked open and poured in four or five people.

Under the panic, he subconsciously grabbed the paper roll in his hand and just shouted: "Who are you--" The person who was rushed in fell down on the ground, and his tight hand was also opened. The unbroken Shahe paper was also taken away, and suddenly his face changed.

"This afternoon, about 10,000 people in Turui were fully armed and stationed in the military camp. The port also stationed a thousand heavy infantry. It is said that the citizens of Amendola Lara are already on the way to Turui, Niutum. "A clear voice rang above his head:" Tratus, I have to admit that your observation and arithmetic ability is really good. The information written to Crotone is in line with the facts. No wonder Crotone People will send you to Turui and stay here for half a year. I don't know how you feel about it here?"

Upon hearing this, one of Tratus's hearts sank, and he already understood that his whereabouts were in the hands of the Dionyrians.

When he was framed up, he saw a handsome, middle-aged man standing in front of him, looking at him with interest.

"What do you want to do with me?" asked the whisper of Tratus's dry voice.

Slim and tall did not speak, took a thing from the other person's hand, and got it in front of Tratus: it was a small wooden knife carved very rough.

Tratus suddenly squinted and looked up. He struggled and shouted: "What happened to your child?! You caught my child, didn't you?!! He is only seven years old! Hera is On, please spare him!! Forgive him!! Let me do anything!!..." He pleaded with grief, and finally he couldn't stop crying.

The skinny look is cold: "Your wife and children are still in Crotone, but under the supervision of our people, introduce myself. My name is Aristilas, and the consul, Davers. The intelligence officer (although Daves promised to give him this position, but he is still a free man, not a bureaucrat), give you a choice to do things for Diaonia. If you refuse, not only you die, you suffer The sick wife will die because she has no money, and the son will become a slave. If you agree, you will become a Diaonian citizen. We will try our best to save your wife and children and let the doctors of the Union rule for your wife. I’m sick, you know that our alliance’s medical skills are even stronger than Crotone’s!” Aristilas paused and saw Tratus bow his head and his face was cloudy, so he said: “It’s alive. It’s dead, you choose it yourself.”

...........................

At dusk, Crotone's chief general, Milon, received a secret report from Turui: This afternoon, Turui began to assemble civic soldiers. It is reported that about 4,000 citizens in the city gathered in Victory Square, and villages outside the city are still mobilizing. Among them, a large number of citizens have not yet entered the city of Turui. Turui has sent about a thousand soldiers to the port, and sent many cavalry to inspect the coast. Amendora, Niutum has not yet seen the army.

In the past six months, Crotone has learned through the information of Tratus and from the soldiers who were released. The chief general, Milon, has an understanding of Dioria and is also very vigilant against Dionia. Early preparations were made and war mobilization was immediately carried out after the elimination of the mercenaries in Crimea. This time, in order to completely defeat Deonia, Crotone and its affiliated Asprostum assembled all the forces they could assemble: Crotone 20,000, Asprostum Three thousand people; Crotone's ally, the Silean, is a big city, but the last time in the Dionysian raid, its loss was the most serious, but for revenge, it still squeezed out two thousand troops; The Bryan Trina also sent a thousand people. This time Crotone did not refuse; only Coulen, Crotone refused its reinforcement because the south side of Cologne was Crowe Tony's enemy Rocky League, although it has not changed much in recent years, Crotone knows that Rocky has been eyeing the North. If he is fighting with Dionya, Locke suddenly attacked and was captured by it. In the words of Cologne, then it will be able to successfully win the West Riding of the Major General, and push the Croto within the emptiness of the rear... Therefore, the vigilance and defense of Lockley must not be relaxed.

At the same time, the battle with Dionya should start as soon as possible, and we must not wait for the troops of Dionia to come together and attack again. Therefore, Crotone's anti-Greek city state has always been dragged down by pre-war preparations. This time it was particularly efficient. Not only did it complete the assembly in one day, but the Allied reinforcements also stepped up their rush.

In fact, Locke’s news of the war between Crotone and Dionia was very happy. Its deliberations were negotiated and sent messengers to Dionia. Who knows that Crotone is not only on the land. The road to the north was blocked, and the Crotone inner battleship was always on the sea from the east coast of Aliche to the east coast of the Great Greece, forcing the Lockheed messenger to change course and plan to turn the passenger ship to Sicily in the southwest. Disembark to the northeast of Tarantum and disembark, and take a large circle around the land.

........................

Davers was analyzing the military intelligence of Crotone with the generals of the Legion, discussing the countermeasures against the enemy. Aristotle was coming in and whispered a few words with him. Davers nodded and said, "Let them come in. ""

He turned and said to the generals: "Brothers, Zandipris and Tolmide are coming."

The still-arguing living room was suddenly silent.

Zandi Parris and Tormide rushed in with a worried look. I didn't expect so many people in the living room.

At this time, Davers smiled and said: "I am going to call you both. I didn't expect you to come first. We are about to start discussing how to deal with the Crotones. You will come forward and talk about your views."

Zandiparis and Tolmid looked at each other and then kneeled down on one knee and said with apologetic: "Daves adults...and...you comrades~www.novelmtl.com~We are really... ...I am sorry for you! Bringing war to Dionya and causing trouble for you! Timothy and Kryano have been in frequent contact with mercenaries for some time, and have repeatedly asked our opinions, we have been Thought they just wanted to get out of here, didn't expect...we—"

"Tima Song, their business has nothing to do with you!" Daphus interrupted the words of both of them, and said with a serious and serious look: "Everyone has their own ideas and life they like, and you and other mercenaries have chosen." Staying without leaving, you agree with the system of Dioria, like to live here, willing to become a citizen of Dionia. Come on, fight with us! In front of the army of Crotone, test you It’s time to come back! Use your heroic performance to respond to other people’s doubts, prove to the people of Dionia that we didn’t read the wrong person at the same time, and at the same time prove that you’ve vowed to defend Deonia’s determination and let the Diaonian people volunteer. Welcome to open your eyes!"

"Duffus is right! Zandi Paris, Tolmide, let us fight together and defeat the Crotones! Revenge for Tima Song!"

"Great, we can finally fight together again!"

......

Amintas and Antonios have expressed a warm welcome to Zandiparis and Tolmid, so that they are relieved.

Note: The fourth volume of the book has come to an end when the Crotones assemble their army to attack the Dionysian League. Want to know if Dionia can survive the violent attack of the Crotones? Can you reverse the victory? Please see the next volume: Nanyi Overlord

I remember that the last novel, "From City to Empire," was stopped when I was about to start writing the volume of "Nanyi Overlord". It has been a regret in my heart for so many years. This time I rewrote it here. I have a wish.
