Chapter 102
"Agasilaus." Leoticides interrupted him with a sneer: "This is how you want to stop my army from attacking Sparta? It's too clumsy."
Leoticides said, stood up, and walked towards the Spartan king who was kneeling on the ground.
Agesilaus raised his head and looked up at his nephew who had a frosty face and thunderous footsteps, walking straight towards him. There was not a trace of panic on his face, but a little more joy: "This match between Dionia and Sparta War, the council of elders will send a special messenger to come to negotiate. The reason why I am here is just because I just learned from Dolios that the famous general of Dionia, Prosus, is actually you! This is the blessing of Zeus! The wars have continued over the years, and the men of our family have all died one after another. Now, apart from me, Archie Dams is the only one left, hey... The noble blood of the Ajidai family is about to be cut off!
And you also know that your brother has not been stable enough and easy to trust others since he was a child, and he has not changed much until now. He is not capable enough to bring Sparta out of trouble today, and I have carefully understood you in Dionia. performance, your talent has far surpassed mine, and I hope—"
With a crisp sound, Leoticides drew out the dagger from his waist and pressed it against Agesilaus' neck.
"You said you were willing to use your life to make up for your sins." Leoticides looked down at him, as if looking at a dead man, and said coldly, "I hope you don't regret it."
The sharp edge of the dagger penetrated the bottom of his heart, the reflected cold light pierced his eyes, and his body's instinctual heartbeat accelerated. Agsilius tried his best to suppress the slightest fear in his heart, straightened his neck, closed his eyes, and said in a serious tone: "...I made a mistake back then, and I want to atone for your mother and you! After I die, I hope you can return to Sparta. Before coming, I have discussed with the inspector and the elders. You inherit the throne that should belong to you, just hope you can treat Archie Damus well, he is your only - silk!"
With the grunt of Agesilaus gritted his teeth, a bloody slit was cut in his shoulder by the dagger, which suddenly woke up the silent audience watching the play on both sides, the military judge eagerly shouted: "Pullo Lord Sous, stop it! You can't kill the messenger!"
Leoticides, as if he had not heard of it, pressed the dagger to the wound of Agesilaus.
Agesilaus groaned again, his whole body trembling.
"Stop it!" The military judge shouted anxiously: "If you kill him, you will violate the military law! It will also seriously damage the reputation of the kingdom! Hurry up! Hurry up and stop him!"
Just as the generals were about to charge up, Leoticides quickly retracted his dagger, and with a wave of his hand, a string of blood beads fell to the ground, and he looked down at Agesilaus contemptuously: "I thought you were really not afraid of death. ."
Agesilaus slumped to the ground,
He was secretly relieved.
"There's nothing to talk about with the Spartans. Drive him out of the camp." Leoticides walked back to his seat and said lightly.
Of course, the people in the tent would not follow this order. Otherwise, if the old Spartan king died on the way, Dionia might really become the laughing stock of the Mediterranean countries, so Mukru immediately ordered the guards to carry it. Agesilaus rushed to the medical camp.
"Lord Prosous, I will report this matter to Your Majesty truthfully." The military judge said with a serious expression.
Leoticides nodded calmly, then waved his hand and said, "The meeting is over, let's disband."
Even if the generals who watched a good show had their own thoughts, they all left quietly and wisely at this moment, only Adoris, the captain of the First Army, said loudly: "Master Prossius, you must not Seduced by the Spartans, leave us behind and run back to Sparta!"
Leoticides didn't bother to respond to such a stupid topic until he had to put it aside. Even if the speaker's identity was special, when he saw that the people who were about to issue the account suddenly slowed their pace and cast their eyes on him, He realized that he had to make a statement: "Don't worry, until I die, I will be a citizen of Dionia!"
Agesilaus' wound was carefully sterilized and bandaged, and after observing for a while, he was sure that there was no serious problem before escorting him back to the pier by the sea.
In addition to the crew members on his boat, there was also Archie Dams who insisted on accompany him. At this moment, when he saw his father was tied up with a white cloth and was apathetic, he quickly stepped forward to help him, and asked angrily: "Father , are you injured?! Did the Dionians do it?!"
Agesilaus glared at him and said in a low voice, "I'm fine, let's hurry back!"
Although Agesilaus's tone was weak, but he always said it at home, Archidamus had to obey. After he helped his father to sit down, he glared at the Dionian soldiers who were watching them on the shore, and said angrily: "Shameless. The Dionysians, I remember this hatred, and one day I will repay you in double! - sail!"
After the boat left the dock, Agesilaus said: "The commander of the Dionysians is indeed Leoticides, and I was slashed by him..."
"It turned out to be the hand of that bastard!" Archie Dams said through gritted teeth: "I said before that he hated our family to the core, and it is impossible to listen to your advice!"
"This time there is still something to gain." Agesilaus touched the bandage on his shoulder, recalled the previous situation, and said in a deep voice: "The sword Leoticides slashed at me is not heavy, even if Because I am a Spartan messenger, I think what I said still played a role in him... Also, when I saw him, it happened that the generals of Dionia were in the military tent, and they listened to my words , I'm afraid I will have some thoughts about Leoticides... But how the final effect will be depends on the next situation... If Leoticides can remember his old relationship... Or he has a conflict with his subordinates... Or maybe King Dionia is suspicious of him... As long as it can buy us some more time, my mission today is worth it."
Archie Dames looked at his father's gaunt face and felt a burst of shame.
Agesilaus didn't notice the strangeness of his son, he stared at the coast and said with a sigh: "What I most hope is that King Dionia will withdraw Leoticides, after all, his love for Sparta is The situation is too well understood! And he does change a lot now..."
The expressionless face appeared in Agasilaus' mind, and he touched the bandage on his shoulder subconsciously: "He has always been calm, so I can't guess what he was thinking... No wonder he used to be so Many wins, if he is our opponent, it will be very troublesome!"
"Father." Archie Damus said immediately dissatisfied: "Who is the most powerful will not know until we compete on the battlefield! When we recruit enough soldiers, the Dionysians will know why we are Spartans. It has always been the reason for the Greek hegemony!"
Agesilaus knew very well in his heart that his son had always looked down on Leoticides when he was young, and often used the word "bastard" on his lips, so he did not say something: he really had some thoughts in his heart. Let Leoticides return to Sparta, because the current Sparta is indeed withered in talent, not as good as Thebes and Athens, if Leo, who is also the leader of Sparta and Dionia, Tichides can come back, and with his support, maybe it will bring some good changes...
But Leoticides' indifferent expression from beginning to end made him unable to estimate the probability of this wish being realized... He calmed down and said solemnly: "I risked injury this time, and also gained a little benefit. , the Dionysians, because of their shame, did not cover my eyes again after the meeting, so that I could observe some of the conditions of the Dionysian camp...
I have long heard that the medical skills of the Kingdom of Dionia are very high, but they actually have a large clinic in the military camp. Not only are there many doctors, but the environment is clean and well-equipped. This wound of mine will soon heal. Having been treated by them, some of the treatments I've used are something I haven't seen before, and I feel like—"
Agsilaus moved the injured arm: "I don't feel pain now, but it's cool. It's very good. Think about it, there is such a military clinic as a guarantee, and the wounded Dionysian soldier is festering because of the wound. The number of dead or disabled will certainly be greatly reduced, and their morale will be maintained."
"So after defeating the Dionysian army, we must do our best to capture these doctors of Dionia for our use!" Archidamus took the conversation, his face full of greed, as A Spartan who has fought for many years, he certainly knows how good it is to have a group of highly skilled doctors.
Agesilaus looked at him and continued: "I also saw countless Dionian soldiers around their camp digging trenches, building earthen bastions, and had built long earthen walls— —”
"The Dionysians are strengthening their defenses, they are planning to occupy Messenia for a long time?!" Archidamus sucked in a breath: "This may be an obstacle for us to take back Messenia!"
"More importantly, it was not only Dionian soldiers who built the camp, but also a lot of Helots, who didn't work under the threat of whips, and seemed to get along well with those Dionians. "Agasilaus said with a gloomy face.
Archidamus's expression became solemn, but he looked suspicious: "Father, do you mean that the Helots of Messenia have all turned to Dionia?! But it's only been a few days. !"
"Those savage Italian natives can all submit to the Dionysians, not to mention these stupid and docile Helots." Agsilaus said with some worry: "The Dionian army has the Helots. Help, the control of Messenia will be stronger, we will fight against it in Messenia, and the difficulties we will encounter will increase, and these Heros will affect the stability of Sparta!"
