Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

As soon as this was said, several people in the room changed their faces. In public, the other city-state governors are more powerful than their own lords. Only in the case of Syracuse, Ferrosanus dared to do so.

"Unfortunately, I heard that Davy's Daves was born in a low position. In the past, he was a sheep (referring to Daves, before the mercenaries, put sheep and horses in Thessaly)." Marcias spoke first. .

Henipolis finally couldn't help but retorted: "Did Dionisius be born noble?! I heard that before he became a full-time general, he was just an ordinary clerk in Syracuse. Master Davers once said to me, 'The real heroes don't care about their origins, because they rely on their own abilities, not family gifts.'"

"That's good! This is where I most admire Dionysius adults!" Phillips loudly praised to cover up Masias's misconduct: "All of you here are also relying on your own efforts. Today's distinguished status."

"Yes! Right!..." Marcias echoed to cover up his embarrassment.

"Everyone--" Phillips hurriedly carried the wine, stood up, looked around, and said loudly: "Because I have been accompanying Dionysius to negotiate with the Carthaginians for a few days, I can’t really get it. Time, so much so that I scorned the guests from Diaonia! Here are my friends to accompany me, I am taking a penalty to express my apologies!"

"Good!" Herolus raised the glass, and Leptinies, Masias, and Ferrosanus also raised their glasses.

Ansitanos did not get up and dissuaded, because he knew that Phillips said these words for Dionysius, and of course the wine also contained Dionysius's apology.

When Philiptos sipped the glass of wine, Ansitanos stood up with Henipolis and said, "I am very grateful to the welcoming invitation of Felix Stos, and also Congratulations to Master Dionysius for defeating the powerful Carthage many times with the help of the adults. This is the great victory of Syracuse and the most exciting news that the whole Greeks have heard! Because Carthage, the biggest enemy of the Greek city-state in the western Mediterranean, was hit hard, people in Sicily and the Great Greece will enjoy peace for a long time!" They also sipped after they finished.

“That’s right!” Phillips once again raised his glass and shouted: “To the Lord Dionysius! Syracuse wins!”

When other people toasted, the opposite Ansitanos noticed that the expression of Herollis was not as serious as the two next to him, and that Ferrosanus did not follow suit, but shouted : "For the peace of Sicily!"

Then philistos made a gesture, so the musician and dancers walked into the hall and the banquet officially began.

In the beautiful melody, the soft dance is swaying, and everyone is staggering and screaming...

When the music stopped and the dancers retired, Henipolis was unconsciously full of stomachs under the slang of the beautiful female slaves. He saw that the opposite Masias had been close to the female slaves, and was extremely uncomfortable; Leptinies was also flirting with the female slaves; only Herros was still slow in the gentleness; Fero Sanus even Dismissed the female slaves on both sides; he turned his head and looked at the teacher Ansitanos, who was eating very little, and always watched the song and dance with a smile... Henipolisston was ashamed of his self-control.

At this time, Philiptos coughed twice in the main seat, and attracted everyone's eyes to him. Then he said, "Anseantas, since the establishment of the Union of Dionia, we have basically There is no official diplomatic exchange. Did Dionia send you to Syracuse for friendship?"

coming! Ansitanos had been working hard for a long time, waiting for the moment, he immediately smiled and said: "Of course it is for friendship. Syracuse is the big state of Sicily, and Dionia is also a strong alliance of big Greece. Before, the two sides were busy dealing with Carthage, an indigenous people who were fighting hard to repel the mountains, for various reasons, so that the two Greek forces that were so close together did not establish friendly contacts and communication, so that regrettable things happened. - "Ansitanos deliberately stopped the words.

None of the people in Syracuse spoke, but Ferrosanus asked curiously: "What is regrettable?"

Ansitanos took the opportunity: "Several elders of the Dionysian Senate were accused by the public for corruption and bribery. When collecting evidence of their illegality, they found a large amount in their residence from Syracuse. The 'four drachma silver coins', and some letters. These letters - "Ansitanos looked at philistos.

Phillips has a look of serious listening.

"The main content is to communicate with Dionysian priest Polissis, how to disturb the order of the Dionysian Union, cause public riots, and oust the governor Duffus..." The matter, the signature of these letters is - Phillips." Ansitanos once again looked at the owner of the banquet: "The letter also mentioned 'he was ordered by the adults of Dionysius.' Pollux Sri Lanka also admitted that 'it was the support of Syracuse that he dared to carry out these actions of betrayal alliances so boldly.'"

"Is there such a thing?!" Philips’s face was wrong: "I never wrote a letter to the people of Polissis. This is really... Ansantas, you can Bring the letters you said?"

"I brought it." Ansitanos was prepared to take a letter from the carry-on baggage and hand it to the female slave.

Phillips couldn't wait to pick up the letter and start a look. Then he showed a relieved smile: "Anseantas, if the writing and signature of every letter in your hand are the same, I can tell for sure. You, these letters are not written by me!"

“Hey?!” Ansitanos gave a look of surprise.

"Go and take a few copies of my signature letter in my study." Phillips immediately ordered his own slave.

"Let me see this letter." Herris, next to him, spoke, and philistos handed the letter to him.

Just as the slave went to get the letter and the banquet was temporarily silent, Herolis said with a letter: "... um, Master Ansitas, I was shocked to hear the news you just said. But I want to stand as far as possible in a stand-by position and talk about my own judgment. Philiptos is a self-proclaimed and relatively high-literate literati. He does not bother to do the despicable things that only a despicable person can do. It’s also impossible to go with the greedy, awkward Dionysian wave you just said...wave..."

"Poluxis." Leptines reminded him.

"It is impossible for Phillips to write to him in Polissis. And Dionysius is a full-time general. He is happy to see a governor with a similar identity in Dionia. To make him feel that he is not alone in this vast western Mediterranean, how can he do things that undermine the rule of Davers adults!"

"Yes, my brother will never do such a thing!" Leptinis stressed loudly.

"I wonder if this is the case -" Phillips indulged for a while and seriously analyzed: "Dyoniusius created the strong Syracuse today, the Greek city-state of Sicily They are united together, but they have also been hated by many people. I think you all know that when the Carthage army was under the city of Syracuse, a few years ago, some people in the city incited the people to riot and wanted to Dionysius rushed to the stage. Although the final state of affairs has subsided, in fact, Syracuse has been circulating rumors in recent years, even small riots and assassinations are endless, or the omnipotent general will not live on this island. On, the defense is so strict.

These people, like snakes, hide in caves, ignore peace and stability in Sicily, and seize any possible opportunity to attack Dionysius and our supporters. The Carthaginians were defeated, but in the Great Greece there is a Dionya alliance with similar strength to Syracuse. If there is a war between Syracuse and Dionia, then they can have a chance to go from the dark again. Go out and create turmoil in Syracuse to achieve their purpose..."

"You mean that this matter was done by the opponents of Dionysius adults, and then planted a blame for you, Master Felicos?" Ansitanos asked like a smile~www.novelmtl. Com~ is very possible. Philips answered seriously.

"Then, we also captured a Syracuse citizen Hermes in Turui. He has fully admitted that he was appointed by Dionysius to go to Turui to buy Polixis and others. How do you explain this to the destruction of Dionia?” Ansitanos’s mouth sneered.

“Hermes?” Phillips was a little confused and asked several other people: “Do we have such a citizen in Syracuse?”

Henipolis couldn't help but say aloud again: "Don't pretend, we have all investigated in detail. Hermes is a citizen of Syracuse, living in the central area of ​​the city, the merchant gathering area next to the Temple of Apollo. There are two sons, he is also the clerk of the hero of Hercules, I am not wrong?"

"Is this true?!" Philips was shocked. Herris's look was even more shocking. He turned to look at Philiptos. After the two eyes met, he hesitated and said: "... ...I do have a clerk named Hermes, but... I sent out to Cyrena a year ago. When I came back, I heard that he was punished for corruption and lost his position... If Turui If I caught the same person, I really didn't think he actually went to Turui. I don't believe you can go to the court records. His criminal record six months ago..."

"This can be troublesome!" Phillips suddenly said loudly, and his expression became extremely serious.

"What's wrong?" Leptinis asked inexplicably.

"If the clerk of Hermes and Hercules, who was once the same person, said that the opponents may begin to consciously lurk into the public officials of the city of Syracuse!" Listos looked dignified.
