Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"It's over! Our port is to be blocked, Lijim is finished!!"

"Attilus, you must immediately let Dionia send the fleet and drive away the Messina!!"

"Send the messenger immediately and discuss it with Dionysius! The enemy of Dionysius is Dionia, not us! As long as we offer him gold and silver, he will accept Lijim!"

......

"Enough! You all give me a quiet!!" Attilis screamed and made everyone stunned.

"Syracuse is still at sea, you panic like this! If they wait for them to land, don't you want to surrender immediately! You are like this, even an ordinary citizen is not as good! Dionysius early Just want to occupy Lijim, in order to facilitate his monopoly of the Strait of Messina, to obtain huge wealth, he will not agree with our discussion! Whoever said that the sale of city-state interests, I let the guards send him to the sea to feed the fish! ..." Attilis Crusaded, not only scared the people who had just said "negotiating" and quickly lowered their heads, but also made others shy.

Then, he turned his eyes to the only man in the city hall who did not yell and scream, and asked seriously: "Findard, what advice do you have in the face of this terrible situation?"

Filipid, known as the Likim citizen who is the least like Lijim, is tough, serious, and determined. When he was elected to the general for the first time, he did not listen to anyone's dissuasion and grievances, and rigorously investigated the tax evasion and tax evasion of the port. As a result, he offended a large number of Lijim merchants, and Li Jim was a city-state with developed trade. The members of the parliament composed of people were stalked, and Filipino was not re-elected to the generals and the council. Until last year, when the warriors of Syracuse had reached the other side of the strait, the panicked Lijim people remembered this rather courageous citizen, and he was once again elected as a general.

At this moment, he looked solemnly: "Syracuse's army landed in Rocky, although not far from Lijim, but the Montalto Mountains (the southernmost tip of the Apennines, the highest peak nearly 2000 meters) is difficult Being overtaken. Syracuse wants to attack us, only to take the rugged mountain road along the coast to reach Lockley, so we only have to send troops to hold the mountain pass, and the Syracuse soldiers can no longer function..."

Attilis said excitedly: "You are the same as I thought!"

Feidun did not care that the chief general put his own ideas on his face, but continued: "Of course, we must be careful that the Syracuse people go west from Lokley, through the famous connection that connects the east and west coasts. The ancient road, arrived in Medma, and then attacked Taurus in the south, so as to open the channel to attack Lijim!"

"This is indeed a very worrying issue!" After the words of Philippine, the confusion of Attilis was clarified, his eyebrows wrinkled together, pondered for a while, and said loudly: "We must remind Tao Rui to strengthen the defense and be alert to the enemies that may be attacked from the north! And we must also send troops to reinforce Tao Rui, otherwise it will be difficult to resist Thira with its strength, even if the Maro River is used as a barrier. The attack of the army of Kuza!"

The people who were flustered now nodded with approval.

Adily Cruz ignored them, but asked in a hurry and humbly: "Findard, what else do we need to consider?"

"This war broke out, it is inevitable that our trade channel will be cut off. You should not worry about your own trade again." Fidelity said seriously: "Our original warships, even if they stay here, are not tin. The opponents of the Lacuza fleet. It is better to hand it over to Dionia, at least they can make up a more powerful fleet and create some trouble for the Syracuse people..."

The words of Philippine said that some people are shy.

"You are right! This is why I have to hand over the warship to the Diaonians!" Attilis took the lead immediately.

Some people dissatisfied and retorted: "Syracuse people are not fools, they may use the fleet to bypass the coastal path and land near Lijim!"

Feidun shook his head and said: "We all know that the coastline near the Strait of Messina is mostly cliffs and cliffs. The fine beaches and bays are rare. The best two places are occupied by us. Lijim City and the port, they are separated in two places. So we are just going to station the remaining beaches. I believe that Syracuse’s army is stronger and dare not brave in front of our battle for defense. A huge sacrifice to land."

The words of Philippine made the panic in the hearts of the people dissipate a lot. Attilius said: "Now I propose to be the commander of the Lijim army by Philippine."

Almost no one expressed opposition.

Philippine’s solemn acceptance of the appointment, then said to the chief general: “Attilis, we must strengthen the defense, we must immediately ask for help from Dionia! If Syracuse and Lockley attack the pottery Rena, even if the soldiers of our two cities are together, it is very difficult to resist!"

"You can rest assured." Attilis has already figured out the joints at the moment. He barely squeezed out his smile and said: "The news of the Syracuse people landing in Lockley is believed to be in Diaonia, Crotone, and West Riding. ... These city-states will soon know that the army of the Nanyi League will soon be formed. How can the Syracuse people dare to deal with us when they face the war?!"

"Yes! That's right!..." Others are also chorus.

"Of course, we have to get in touch with Dionia quickly and tell them that we are in the current situation and we will discuss the next move with them... Considering that the enemy fleet in the eastern Greece has been swimming, we must immediately Send the messenger to the Clippers, take the West Coast to the port of Knapetia, and travel to Turui...” Attilus made the decision.

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

The astonishing news of "Syracuse's army landing in Rocky" quickly spread throughout the Great Greece. The reaction of the people of Dionia was much more calm than that of other city-states. They had not suffered the failure and they believed in their army, they The Senate, especially the conviction of their magical governor.

Kunogora and Cornelus met on the way to the Senate.

"The worst thing has finally happened. The Syracuse people have come. I heard that the number of troops led by Dionysius is no less than 100,000!" Cornelus said with a melancholy side.

"So we must immediately let Hieronymus build the two new legions!" Kuno Gorata's mood is not much better than Cornelus: "Firisius and Ansitanos should have I know the news, I hope they can urge Crotone and Xi Liting as soon as possible... These allies will quickly organize the Allies!"

"A big storm is coming, everyone is on a boat, no one can hide. I believe that this time Crotone and Cilitang will not hesitate any more." Cornelus is more convinced of this.

"Yeah, I can only rely on them for the time being!" Kunogolata sighed. In the crisis, he discovered that whether it was the Dionysian, the Senate or himself, it was quite right for the young consul. Rely on: "Where did Davers adults go? Did he know the news of the invasion of the Syracuse army?"

"There was an urgent report from the north yesterday. Daphus led the army to the Lahe Fortress, ready to go to Laos, take a boat to Picosis... From the river fortress to Turui, the messenger will also whip One day, I believe he has arrived at Picosis, is with Anta Orris, and will soon know the news of 'Syracuse's invasion of the Great Greece'," Cornelus said.

The veterans of the Senate are paying close attention to the movement of Daves. It is because of these days that they helped Sikely to build a military port, and they were so confused that they forgot to hear about Daves.

"I hope he can get rid of the Samona people as soon as possible! Come back soon!" Kunogolata said with anticipation.

At this time they are going through the Victory Square, and a group of children are playing in the square. Some young people are practicing running around the square (mainly Turin's arena and other venues are occupied by the people for the ball game, The stadiums in the city of Turui, which are causing a sharp expansion, are not enough for people to use for fitness and sports training~www.novelmtl.com~ Some old people rely on stairs or memorial columns, lying on the ground to bask in the sun, and others are just holding books The books copied in the library are slowly read...

In the center of the square, there are temporary wooden tables. The teachers of several colleges are popularizing simple arithmetic knowledge to the public, so they attract many people to come and watch and learn. This is the first two Panda in Amendola. The good habits developed by the disciples of Goras have persisted, because the number of college deans, Mentotik Els, has always considered this to be the best way to expand their influence and attract good students.

Since Lucias was the dean of the College of Liberal Arts, she was not willing to show weakness. Every day, she sent a teacher to Victory Square, standing in front of the bill notice board under the steps of the Senate, reading the contents of the newly promulgated bill for the public and explaining some The application of ordinary grammar points out some rhetorical errors in the announcement (which makes the scribes of the Senate are cautious and afraid of mistakes), and by the way, the legal provisions of Deonia and the debating skills naturally attract a lot. People go to listen to learning.

Such a lively square, naturally, is indispensable to traders, although the Turai City Hall has regulations: no vendors are allowed to set up shops in the square. But it’s hard to beat the savvy Greek merchants, who are carrying wooden blues, pushing wooden carts with snacks, fruits, pulp, etc., and they are constantly wandering around the square, and they benefit a lot in the day... even in Thira. Today, the army of Kuza is attacking, and the excitement of the square has not been reduced by half.
