The Lockleys were informed of the news, and they were a little bit awed by the shock. For decades, Lockley has not won for Crotone, but the newly formed Dionysian League has defeated Crotone for two consecutive wins.

Of course, for Lockley, what is more important is that Crotone has suffered heavy losses and is still in the hard battle with Dioria. This is an excellent time! When Rocky couldn't wait for the news of the messenger Metrophonis, he began to plan to attack the Crotone League, in order to defeat the deadly enemies in one fell swoop, they mobilized the war within the alliance, and also by the brother of Dionysius's wife. - Lockheed Chief General De Modokas asked for help from Syracuse. At this time, Syracuse had launched a war against Carthage. The powerful army was destroying several towns. Only the navy had not encountered the enemy for the time being. Except for some warships escorting the army along the coastline, the rest stayed in the tin. Stand in the port of La Cuzza.

On the one hand, out of the friendship with Lockley, more to prepare for the future, Dionysius sent more than 20 three-layer paddles to assist the Rocky.

With Syracuse backing, Locke couldn’t wait to launch the war.

Who knows, Dionya once again fought with Crotone, not only signed a defensive alliance treaty, but also released all the prisoners, the messenger Metrophonis felt fooled and returned home.

The Rocky people were angry: Dionia repeatedly and again ignored Rocky’s kindness and intentionally or unintentionally obstructed Lockley’s plan, only because he was now trying to deal with the deadly enemy Crotone, and he did not want to make extra money. I took this breath and waited for it later. At the same time, Lockley began to be wary of Dionia.

Then there was a small setback with the battle of Crotone, but the sea battle was greatly won by the support of Syracuse. The Crotone army, which lost the protection of the navy, was insufficiently mobilized by the Rocky people. , caught in passive.

When I saw the hope of victory in Locke, there was news that the messengers of the Crotone League gathered in Turui and asked for help from Dionya!

The things that the Rocky people are most worried about have happened. In view of the unsatisfactory performance of Metlow Phoenix before, they immediately sent the best eloquent Pantipapace, but his arrival not only failed to let Dionia change his mind, but accelerated to promote Nanyi. The establishment of the alliance.

When Pantipabes left Turui, he angered and said to the elders of the Dionysian Senate: "Apollo can witness that we have always respected Dionya, but every time we have respect The olive branch that was offered was replaced by the malicious deception and fooling of Dionya. From today, Lockley and Dionia will be enemies! Next time we come again, there will be no more messengers of peace, but Ares's anger and a mighty army!"

The veterans were slightly changed, and Davers said calmly: "Before the Crotones launched the war, their messengers stood in the position where you are standing now, and said similar things, now?"

Although Daves performed very easily, he knew that the Rocky people now dominated the sea. After Deonia declared war, it is likely to repeat the old things that the Crotone fleet had done against Dionia. Therefore, he re-raised the Ryders cavalry team, patrolled along the coastline, and restarted the measures taken by Felicius to respond to the Crotone fleet attack, and the Senate also suspended to Aspirus. Immigration work between Thum and Crimea.

But after a few days, nothing happened.

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

The First Corps arrived in Asptum City, and more than a thousand garrisons joined the army, increasing the number of people involved in the fighting to more than 10,000.

Five days later, the army arrived in Cologne, all the way was smooth, no accidents, the reason for the arrival time is two days more than the previous plan, it is not enough to predict the bad conditions of the southern roads in southern Greece, and ways During the West Court, the people there were warm hospitality.

After the arrival of the Danonian reinforcements on the battlefield, the Cologne people rejoiced and prepared to wait for the Dionyns to finish their work and immediately launched an attack on the Lockley camp in the south of the city. However, they did not expect the plan to be implemented yet. I sent a messenger of peace talks...

A hundred years ago, Crotone defeated Sebalis and quickly became a strong state of the great Greece. He had the ambition to dominate the South and repeatedly attacked the south. The most serious one, under its attack, Locke and the surrounding city-state troops retreat, and in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of Sobris, Locke and Lijim united, and Crotone was negligent. Machine, launched a counterattack, and hit the army of Crotone.

Crotone's strength was greatly damaged, and he was unable to attack the South. In order to prevent Crotone from regaining his strength, Lockley and Lijim began a long-term counterattack against the Crotone League, even to the north of the Crotone League. Indigenous Brutis people united. Crotone has been threatened by the Brutiers in the north, the Locke and Lijim in the south for decades, and has been exhausted and can no longer reproduce the power of the year. Therefore, when Athens was to establish the city of Turui in the Syrian Plains, it could only make a concession and signed an agreement.

However, the cooperation between Lockley and Lijim is not intimate. Once the threat of Crotone is weakened, the contradiction between the two begins to appear. The biggest conflict is that the two city-states are coastal cities, and they are very close together. The competition in port trade is inevitable. Because Lijim controlled half of the Strait of Messina, he had the upper hand in the sea trade, while Lockley opened up from Lockley to Medma and Hiberian (both are the West Coast cities of Greater Greece). On the road, the Greek traders can reach the west coast through the land trade route, instead of paying higher tariffs through the Strait of Messina, so they have grabbed a lot of profits from Lijim as a transit port for the Western Mediterranean trade...

These contradictions piled up and finally broke out a few years ago.

Dionysius, who had just become a singular general of Syracuse, was killed by his angry people in the previous power struggle. He was widowed and remarried. At the same time, this is also a political marriage for the lord to stabilize. His power. So he married a daughter of a famous aristocrat who supported him in the city of Syracuse, and then wanted to squat another room. His eyes were directed at Lijim, which was separated from Sicily by only one strait. On the one hand, because Lijim's location is too important, on the other hand, there is a woman in the city of Lijim.

But the Lijim refused, and they were wary of Dionysius, who was the Syracuse lord. They did not forget the shackles of Lijim, who was also the Syracuse lord of the Syracuse in his administration. Lijim had to form an alliance with Carthage to protect himself.

Dionysius had to propose to the Lockleys, and Locke agreed, which led to the complete breakdown of the alliance between Lockley and Lijim.

As for Dionysius, why not find Crotone and Crotone? Because during the Peloponnesian War, Crotone and Turui stood on the side of Athens, even when the Athenian army attacked Syracuse, and provided assistance; Tarantum was Sparta. The sub-state of man has always been close to Sparta and does not make much sense to Dionysius.

The departure of Lijim made it difficult for Locke to stand alone, and it was difficult to create trouble for Crotone. It was not until Dionya twice reinvented Crotone that it ignited hope again.

When Rocky mobilized the war, he also sent messengers to the Brutiers. The Brutus who had always been active in the invitation of Locke had rejected Locky’s request. The reasons given were: Last year, the Brutiers attacked Trina alone, resulting in heavy losses and need to rest.

But the Lockheed messengers found that the Bruthi tribe near Cosenza seemed to be making some changes.

The Rocky people attacked the Crotone League with the assistance of the Syracuse Navy. It turns out that even if Crotone's strength is greatly damaged, the dead camel is still bigger than Ma. Although Rocky has the upper hand, he can't win.

Now that Dionia has joined the war, for Lockley, the situation has turned sharply.

After the failure of Diaonia’s diplomacy, the Rocky people first went to the Syracuse players, and Dionysius met with the rushing messenger in the newly occupied city of Sellinus.

After listening to the messenger's request, Dionysius frowned, thinking for a moment, and said straightforwardly: "The war between Syracuse and Carthage is at a critical time, I have no reinforcements to send! You ask And! Wait until I have settled Sicily~www.novelmtl.com~ I will help Locke back this account!"

The messenger reluctantly returned to Locke.

The Rocky people are not fools. Without the reinforcements, there is no victory. Peace is the only way out. It’s not uncommon to stop and stop in the entanglement with Crotone for decades. Lockeley is used to not fighting for a hopeless battle because of any honor.

Therefore, the first legion of Dionia was rushing in, and as a result, a battle did not occur, and passively became the role of mediation.

Fortunately, the South Italian allies have a good impression of the first Deonian army that appeared in the middle of South Italy, especially the Cologne, who were surprised to find the building of Dionia outside of Coulania. Soldiers have been quietly staying in the camp during the negotiations, without any disturbing behavior, which is even better than the Crotones who have been friends of Cologne for decades.

The Trina ambassador, who came to Cologne with the army, returned to Trina after the negotiations and reported to the council, which gave a more detailed and comprehensive commentary on the Dionysian army.
