Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Filipdas’ words containing threats immediately made everyone feel nervous.

Stacycos cautiously asked: "What is your suggestion?"

"Abandoning the confrontation with Dionysius, the two sides sat together and negotiated! Of course, Dionysius was too dictatorial in these years, which made the people of Syracuse feel dissatisfied, so I suggested that Dionysius be removed. The position of the omnipotent general re-implemented the '20 general system' (because there are many people in Syracuse, so more generals are needed to take charge of the city-state affairs, and during the period of democratic system, they have half of the time to implement this system). During the current war, he was temporarily the chief general to avoid further war losses because of the midway change."

Filbidas’s proposal put the generals in silence.

Herolus asked aloud: "Is this your suggestion, or the advice of Dionysius?!"

"It is the result of my discussions with him." Fibidas said with a blind eye.

Herolus loudly warned others: "As a friend of more than ten years, I understand him, even if he is forced by the situation at this time, he agrees with the suggestions made by the Spartan messenger, who knows him in the future. Will it wait for the tyrannical rule to re-implement after the crisis has passed, and kill us with us who have resisted him today! We must not forget the painful lessons of five years ago!"

The words of Herolis reminded everyone that everyone changed suddenly: four years ago, after Dionysius defeated the army of Carthage, he immediately arrested the leaders of the riots on the charge of the "traitor". Execution without trial, and the copy of the property, the family as a slave ... This atrocities frightened the Syracuse, no one dared to object to the practice of Dionysius, the next few Everyone in the year did a good job. If Dionysius did not lead the army to suffer a fiasco, the city was defensive, and led by Herolis and others, how can the people dare to rise again against Dionysius.

The words of Herolis once again unveiled this tragic memory, leaving the generals with fear and anger on their faces.

Fibidas did not know this. He pretended to solemnly say: "I can make an oath in the name of Hercules to assure you -"

"Go to your Hercules! Go to your guarantee!" Someone in the crowd angered, and then rushed to the front of Fibidas, pointing at him, gnashing his teeth and said: "It turned out to be you! It is you!" If it weren't for your promise, my brother wouldn't choose to let Dionysius go. It turned out that my brother was cut off. My nephew became a slave. I don't know where it was sent. His two children were The evil mercenaries stabbed to death, and my parents-"

Kuzias said more and more anger, stretched out his hands, wanted to catch the clothes of Phibidas, was pushed and pushed by Filibidas, and Cuzias fell to the ground.

He still wants to rush over and is stopped by Stacycos, Tessitis, etc. He can only roar: "The **** Spartans! You killed my family, the vengeful goddess is on, someday She will punish the punishment on Sparta! I hope that I can live to see the day when the Spartan country is broken and the Spartans are all slaves!"

Originally, Pfeidas did not care about the chaos of Kuzias. He had killed too many people in his life. If he cares about this, he has already collapsed, but the final curse of Kuzias is too vicious. Let him rise in anger: "This is your attitude towards Sparta?!"

"The Philippine ambassador." Herlos said with a mild temptation: "The family of Kuzias is the first immigrant of Syracuse, enjoying high prestige among the people, but Dionysius Killed his family and held him in the stone prison. If it wasn't because of this rebellion, he might die silently in the stone prison... So I hope you can understand his anger! And you also I saw the vows that Dionysius made in front of everyone in the face four years ago. In the end, he easily tore up the promise and maimed the people of the city-state. Today, he will say that his words are as sweet as honey. The people of Syracuse have been blinded by the blood of their loved ones, and will not be convinced of any of his promises! Dionysius is either judged after we are imprisoned, or he flees Siracusa and never returns. Other than that, he has no other choice!"

"As long as I catch him, we will judge him for treason, including his family, just as he was when he was with us!" said Cuzias, gnashing his teeth.

"Yes, we don't accept peace, Dionysius and his men must get the punishment they deserve!" Ferrosanus also said his opinion aloud, and other generals also agreed.

Phibidas gloomy face, looking at these excited generals in front of him, said coldly: "If this is the case, you will be with Sparta -"

"The Philippine ambassador!" Herolus promptly interrupted the threatening words he was prepared to say: "You have been following Dionysius in the Great Greece, and you don't know Sparta in Peloponnese in the near future. The war on the peninsula. The Athenians and the Corinthians worked together to make your Spartan allies suffer heavy losses. The Athenians even broke into Arcadia. It is said that your King Agrasus has just returned to Sparta. Ready to recruit a new army to resist the offensive of the Spartan League..."

Sparta and Syracuse are not only closely related to the military, but also rely on Syracuse, such as food, in trade. And Sparta often relies on Syracuse's merchant ships all over the Mediterranean to collect information for them. For example, the Persians sent the fleet to the General of Athens, Kelon, and the attack on the Spartan fleet was carried out in Asia Minor. The Syracuse businessman told Sparta in advance. Similarly, what happened in Sparta is often sent back to Syracuse by these merchants in time, so that Hercules will know more about the war in Peloponnese.

Phibidas was shocked, and it was hard to keep his face cold: "I hope you are all true?!"

“Syracuse is not far from Sparta. It can be reached by boat for two days. If you go back, you will know that it is true or not. We can provide you with a boat.” How to listen to Ferosanus’s words The taste of gloating.

Herolus was busy saying: "The ambassador of Pybidas, Syracuse and Sparta have always been allies, and they should have helped each other. But since Dionysius became the Lord, because of his lust, Often Sparta offers more help, and Syracuse offers less help to you... Now that we have an advantage, Dionysius has a disadvantage, and if Sparta continues to support Dionysius, The situation in the city of Syracuse is probably stable for a long time. But if we support us, Syracuse will soon be able to restore stability and prosperity, and we will continue to maintain a covenant with Sparta and Provide assistance to Sparta!"

The last few words of Herolis said that they were so eager to say that they were screaming and screaming, and that Pfeidas moved. He looked straight at Herolis for a while, and he hesitated in a tone: "What you said... are true. of?"

Herollis and the other generals around him looked at each other and then confronted him. He solemnly said: "This is the decision we made after our mutual deliberation. We can renew the covenant with Sparta!"

Phibidas looked around everyone, and the coldness in her eyes quickly disappeared...

On the island of Ortigia, Dionysius finally hoped that Fhibidas would return, but he got the bad news that “the rebels refused peace talks and must drive him out of Syracuse,” although this is One of the worst results envisioned by Dionysius, he couldn't help but make a fire.

Then, he wanted to continue to learn from the mouth of Filipas about the status quo in the city of Syracuse and the situation of the rebel lords, but Fibidas obviously did not have this mood, he directly asked Dionysius to send the Clippers immediately. Send him back to Sparta.

Dionysius, who now relies more on Spartan's ally, certainly can't refuse, but he feels a crisis from the attitude of Fibidas's sudden change. He is good at playing power. Of course, he knows that the situation in Syracuse is very unfavorable at this time. The party he is in, therefore, can't help but have doubts: Will the Spartans who are snobbish in reality choose to rebel without abandoning themselves?

Think of it here~www.novelmtl.com~ He can't sit still: Spartans are now in deep trouble, not necessarily able to send troops to support him, but Sparta's prestige can help him to shock, faster and faster Stabilizing the situation in the city and dispelling other things in other city-states. If Sparta gives up on him, he will push him to the abyss.

Therefore, Dionysius, who was forced into a desperate situation, did not elaborate on the separation between the two wives and the children. Instead, he shut himself down in the palace and tried to solve the dilemma. Soon, he called the mercenary leader Meji Collis and intelligence chief Hipparinus together.

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

Late at night, the people in the main city of Syracuse entered their dreams. The sentinels on the newly built walls of the isthmus also relaxed their vigilance because of the calmness of the island of Ortigia for many days. Most sentinels could not sleep and fell asleep.

Dionysius personally led all the mercenaries and quietly out of Ortigia.

Due to time constraints, Herlos had called the people to build the walls, but had not had time to dig trenches, set up roadblocks and traps, so the mercenaries quietly touched the city, and when the sentinels discovered that the enemy had invaded, the mercenaries had already used the long ladder to climb. Going to the city, quickly killed a small number of sentinels and occupied the wall.
