Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

As a general, who does not want to win, if you can completely capture the first Greek city state of Syracuse, the western Mediterranean, this glory record will not only make Antonios win the attention of the people of Dionia, but also the whole of Greece. The world is amazed, and who will make fun of him at that time is the success he received under the command of a secret agent.

Antrapolis looked at his mind and hesitated for a moment and said: "Anthony, I hope... Oh no, I suggest that the First Corps should not go south and enter the territory of Syracuse."

"Oh?" Antonios glanced at him. Even though he was unhappy with him on the head, he knew that Antrapolis, who had taken root in Sicily for so long, could set off this huge riot. He wants to know more about it, so he still humbly asked: "Why?"

"Syracuse people have a characteristic. During the period of peace and tranquility, they will reject any politicians with ambition and strong appeal, and choose a mediocre democracy of many people; but when they encounter danger and face the destruction, they will Voluntary choice of strongman, accepting dictatorship..." Antrapolis said with a serious look: "And Syracuse as Sicily, or even the largest Greek city-state in the Western Mediterranean for many years, its citizens are often proud of this, for any foreign state The army’s entry into its territory is very sensitive! The officials of Syracuse who were preparing to launch the riots refused the demands of me and my men to enter the city and assist them. They were afraid of being resented by the people and causing their resentment. It is also a warning to us.

Antonios, if the first legion appeared under the city of Syracuse, the Syracuse people in the riots would not regard us as reinforcements, and would most likely be regarded as enemies! If Dionysius’s men are provoked by the opportunity, it is very likely that Dionysius’s forces will return to power and deal with us together! ......"

Antonios pondered for a long time: Before he came, he had a basic understanding of the situation in Syracuse. Syracuse is not a small town like Sikuri. It is said to be a huge city with a population of 400,000. Lapolis said that the thousands of people under his own hands have tried to capture the city of Syracuse in one fell swoop and completely end the war. It is not impossible, but it may be completely annihilated!

Antonios looked to the soldiers who were chasing the enemy on the battlefield: from landing in Sicily to now, they have been fighting for life and death for three days, and it is not easy to have the results of today's victory! As the head of the army, he wants to take them to enjoy the glory of victory, not to fall into the danger of ignorance...

Thinking of this, Antonios said slowly: "What advice do you have?"

Antrapolis and others are his words, busy saying: "The riots in Syracuse are best not to stop, let them kill each other, consume the strength of Syracuse, and wear them to us. Nia, is good for other city-states in Sicily!" Antrapolis, who used to be the Katanai, only revealed the hatred of Syracuse, and said with hate: "And the Syracuse civil strife At the time, we should hurry to make Sikuli, Katane, Leotini, and -"

Antrapolis pointed to Tonys not far away: "Let these city-states regain order and recognize our Dominion status. I mentioned in my last letter to me, 'Kartani The sub-Palaeo is a more extensive and fertile plain (mainly volcanic) than the Sybali Plain, and he hopes that Dionia will manage this area as much as possible...

After listening to this, Antonios took a sigh of relief: he is still focusing on how to defeat the strong enemy, Daves is already considering how to annex the land, is this the gap between him and Davis? !

Looking at the shocked Antonios, Antrapolis is also not calm. When he first saw the meaning revealed in the Davis letter, Antrapolis felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he was a Katanai. He had been expecting that Katana could overthrow Syracuse’s rule, and the exiles could return to their homes, but never thought that Katana would accept it again. The rule of another powerful force, even though this power is now the country to which he belongs.

But along with the letter written by Daves, there is also a letter from Aristilas. In the letter, his brother said: "Even if the city-states such as Kataney and Leotini are able to gain independence in this war, they are too weak, whether they are facing Syracuse or Carthage. It is inevitable that the same disaster will be suffered in the future. But once under the rule of Dionia, Katane’s security is guaranteed, and in the current regime of Dionia, the Qatar people do not have to worry about oppression. There will be more political rights...

My brother, more importantly, from the current process of this war, Syracuse's defeat is affirmative. Although Dionya has made tremendous sacrifices, it will get a lot of land! The most troublesome thing for the future is not to get too many towns, but how to get more people to fill the vast land of Greece, so there can be no more Diogenian immigrants in the Catania plains. The Katane people will be the true masters of their hometowns and will also occupy a certain position in the political arena of Dionia.

As a former Katanai, you are now a citizen of Dionia. In the lurking time of Sicily for more than half a year, you have gained the recognition and respect of many exiles. If you want to go to politics after the war, you will definitely be there. Catania has played a huge role in the process of integrating into Dionia! And you will have a brighter future! ......"

At the time, Antrapolis was quite tempted after reading the letter. Now, after being stimulated by Antonios, he felt for the first time that he was so eager to get the title of "Diaulia," so he Not only did you not resist the incorporation of Katanay into Dionia, but you were determined to do your best!

"What about those city states in the south?" Anthony asked a little unwillingly.

"The city-states in the southeast corner of Sicily have always been allies and closely related. Even if they overthrow the lords who were helped by Dionysius, their friendly relations with Syracuse will not change much. We rushed into it, only to make them more dependent on Syracuse!" Antrapolis said the conclusions he had carefully analyzed in the past six months to Antonios: "As for Gera, Agrigen On these south-city city-states, Majesty hopes to maintain friendly relations with them, and does not want to let them join the Dionysian League, so as not to cause Carthage’s vigilance and dissatisfaction..."

Antonios nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that the brothers can take a break."

At the Port of Leicaon in Corinth, as part of the occupier, some of the Ami Klein in the Peloponnesian coalition led by Sparta had to return to their hometown to hold the Hyacinthus celebration.

Considering that these soldiers had to pass through Collins on the way back, in order to be safe and to show Sparta's emphasis on the Allies, it was the high-spirited Agassius who sent 300 Spartan heavy infantry to **** them back. Family.

When the **** unit sent the Ami Klein to Siegion and then returned to the port carelessly, while passing under the walls of Collins, the general of Athens, Iphie Craters, led his light infantry out of the gate and launched them. The attack.

Although the Spartan infantry wearing heavy armor was rushed to fight, they did not fight because of the small number of people. Instead, they thought that this was a great opportunity to annihilate the defenders of Collins, and they stood up to fight.

However, the Athens Light Infantry did not fight close to them. Instead, they used the lightness of the body to open the distance with the Spartans, throwing javelins and conducting long-range attacks.

The Spartan soldiers repeatedly charged, but could not get close to the enemy, but consumed their physical strength in the movement. In the rain of javelin flying in the sky, teammates were constantly hit by the javelin and fell to the ground...

This way of fighting allowed the Spartan soldiers to get less of their bravery, but the soldiers were tortured by the hum of their teammates. After an hour of fighting, the Spartan's fighting spirit fell to the bottom of the valley, and the Spartan warrior who turned "as a glory to death and as a shame to escape" turned and fled.

However, how could they run through the light infantry with heavy armor, and the result was almost completely smashed by the Athenians.

When the battle ended ~www.novelmtl.com~ even the Athenians couldn't believe it was true, and Iphie Craters and his troops gained confidence.

And when this victory quickly spread to the anti-Spartan alliance, the people who were being shrouded in the fear of failure broke out with enthusiasm. Although this is only a small battle, the nearly 300 heavy infantry that can be wiped out are truly Spartan citizens, and the whole Sparta is only three or four thousand strong citizens (not counting the Pisces and The Blacks), the invincible myth of the Spartans was broken, and all the shaken city-states reaffirmed their confidence in rebellion. The previously unknown Effie Cratz was also famous.

When the news reached the Spartan coalition, Agrasus was taking the ambassador's arrogance to receive the messenger of the end of the peace, and made a very demanding request. At this time, receiving this news, his arrogance instantly became annoyed, and the entire army fell into sorrow.

The Thebes messenger heard the news and quickly left the camp of Sparta and no longer proposed a thing.

Just as Agassius thought about how to avenge the dead soldiers and reinvigorate the Spartan army, Iphi Klats was not satisfied with this victory. After two days of preparation, He led the light infantry troops to take the Athens warship, bypassing the northern end of the isthmus, and raiding the cloned Lyon, which was occupied by the Spartans. It still used the same tactics to once again reinvent the defenders and retake the clones of Lyon.
