"Cough cough!" When Adoris said this, Clotokatax was drinking soup, and he choked several times, and he responded with some embarrassment: "Brother, you underestimate me too much, I am The commander of the army, if he is selfish to his own relatives, how can he command other soldiers to fight to the death! Don't worry, I will not do that!"

Adoris looked at him and asked again, "Really?!"

"Really!" Klotokatak responded sternly.

"Okay!" Adoris picked up the soup bowl in his hand, and said with pride: "With soup as wine, I wish our brothers a brilliant achievement in Greece together!"

……………………………………………………

Since the new commander of the Dionian army had never arrived, Ipamironda stayed in the city of Mesenius for several days, and instead of complaining, he was happy, because Thebes was Dionian's Allies, so Ipamironda is not blindfolded and restricted from going out like Agsilaus, except for some sensitive areas, he can roam freely in Messenia. In order to avoid misunderstandings, with the consent of Leoticides, Staff Officer Mukru also provided him with a Dionian officer as a guide.

During this period of time, Ipamironda not only carefully understood the entire operation of the new Mesenian government from village to town, but also comprehensively observed the daily life of the Dionysian army, from the various battalions every morning. Organized morning exercises, rushing to the construction site to build cities and houses during the day, and returning to the military tents to rest in the evening under the supervision of team officers...

He not only ran to the pass of Mount Tigertos to watch the Dionian soldiers build the towers and strengthen the defense against the Spartans; he also ran to the coast and watched the ships of the First Fleet in Messenia. Patrol and training in the bay; he even watched the cargo battalion use multiple camels to transport food and supplies from the simple port to the camp, cook and distribute food for the soldiers in the camp, and medically rescue the wounded soldiers... In addition to the engineering battalion He was forbidden to enter because it involved making some military equipment, and he almost visited the entire camp.

Until this day, he received a notice from the leader of the team: the new commander Dionia wanted to see him.

In fact, he already knew about the arrival of the new commander, because that day he specially rushed to the seaside and witnessed the whole process of another Dionysian army of more than 10,000 people landing on the coast on numerous ships and quickly assembling.

Entering the military tent, Ipamironda nodded with a smile to five or six generals in full uniforms, and finally set his eyes on the young man sitting in the center, and then bowed solemnly: "Dibi The messenger Ipamironda meets Commander Dionia!"

"Please sit down,

General Ipamironda! "Klotokatax asked the soldiers to bring the prepared wooden chairs, and said very politely: "You are the military commander of the Pioxia Alliance, and you led the Pioxia Alliance to defeat in the Battle of Leuctra. Hero of the Spartans, we are honored by your visit! "

Ipamironda thanked the guards, and after sitting down, he said humbly: "The victory of Leuctra is indeed a great encouragement to the people of Thebes and Pioxia, but it is like the people who often starve. Like a man who has eaten a full meal, he will feel very satisfied, but to a person who is often full, this is nothing, and Dionia is a person who is full, and I am right Bar?!"

Ipamironda's words made Ketisus, Olivers, and the others feel comfortable.

"The general is too modest!" Clotokatax said immediately: "When my father talked to me about the situation in Greece a few years ago, he mentioned you, and he said that you and Pelopidas are Thebes The most important pillar of Sri Lanka's rise, it turns out that he made the right judgment!"

Hearing this, Ipamironda's heart moved, of course he knew who the father was talking about, and couldn't help asking: "I want to ask when His Majesty King Davos first mentioned me? "

Clotokatax thought for a while and said: "Well...it seems that after the war with Carthage, it was mentioned in a letter to me once...I was serving in Rome at that time, then A town in the northern part of the kingdom."

After the war between Dionia and Carthage... Ipamironda recalled carefully: It was the most difficult period for Thebes at that time. Facing the attack of Sparta, even the Thebes government was struggling to support it. Some of the members of the council did not have much hope for the future, but King Dionia, who was far in the west, firmly believed that Thebes would rise, and knew himself, who was not well-known at the time. Got a lot of attention to Thebes…

Seeing that Ipamironda was silent, Olivers interjected: "His Majesty the great Davos is a descendant of the god Hades, and has been favored by the gods, so he can always make accurate judgments and communicate with Dionysus. All hostile forces will be punished by defeat in the end!"

"That's right!" Ctisus and Tigtinos immediately echoed.

Worried that the implied threat in Olivers' words made Ipamironda unhappy, Clotokatax quickly took over the conversation and said, "If I had known that you were in Messenia, General, I would have done so earlier. Come here, it won't make you wait here for these days."

"It doesn't matter, staying here for a few more days has given me a deeper understanding of the Dionysian army, and it has also made me deeply feel why the Dionysian army is strong. If your army is an adult , the armies of the Greek city-states, including us, Thebes, are still children!" Ipamironda said with a serious look.

Clotokatax was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "General Ipamironda, you are too modest!"

He did not continue to talk deeply on this issue, and instead asked: "Is there any important thing for the general to come here this time?"

"This time, on behalf of the people of Thebes and Pioxia, I would like to express my gratitude to the ally Dionia!" Ipamironda looked solemn and said earnestly: "Thebes and Dionia just married. As an ally, we did not have much communication in the past. This time, the enemy of Thebes is the most powerful city-state in Greece. We only expected that Dionia would be able to provide food and supplies at the most difficult time of the war. to help us, but to our surprise... you truly fulfilled the covenant, took the initiative to fight against Sparta, and soon launched an attack on Sparta, just as the rumor said 'Dionys Asia is a nation that keeps its promises', and Thebes is very fortunate to be allied with Dionia!"

Hearing these words, Clotokatax was very proud, and he tried his best not to show this emotion, but said modestly: "Keeping promises is the principle of the founding of Dionia, and sending troops when allies are in danger Aid is what we should do! It's just that Thebes can get out of the predicament mainly by your own efforts. It is because the general led his army to defeat Sparta in Leuctra that our attack on Sparta became easy."

Clotokatax's words were also candid, but Ipamironda showed a grateful and helpless smile: "The victory of Leuktra was indeed very important to Thebes, but it was only a temporary relief for Thebes. Stuck out of trouble, only to get Thebes into even bigger trouble."

Clotokatax glanced at Printoles, then looked puzzled.

Ipamironda explained seriously: "Athens and our Thebes have been enemies for decades. Because of Sparta, they have formed an alliance with Thebes these years. It should be said that it has given Thebes a lot of Great help. But with the gradual recovery of our strength in Thebes, Athens' attitude towards us has changed. When signing the Kalias contract, I clearly felt that Athens and Sparta had reached an agreement. Together we crowded out Thebes. After the battle of Leuctra, Athens even sent troops to garrison on the western frontier, clearly showing hostility to us.

Our other ally, Jason of Thessaly, had helped us a lot in the previous war against Sparta, but after the battle of Leuctra, he suddenly sent troops to occupy Hot Springs Pass, In addition, a large-scale military mobilization was carried out in Thessaly, and he threatened to send troops to the south. He also refused to receive the envoys we sent. The city-states in the entire western part of central Greece, including our Thebes, were very nervous. The Lord's Pioxia, the Delphi-based Phokis, and Locris have been discussing to unite to resist the invasion of the people who have come up-"

"Is the Thessaly strong military?" Olivers couldn't help asking. He was a Thessaly like Davos, but he had been away from Thessaly for decades, and he had no idea what was going on in his hometown. I don't understand, his impression of Thessaly is still in the situation where the city-states fought with each other a few decades ago, resulting in weak strength and frequent bullying by the indigenous people in the surrounding mountains.

"Since Philae's tyrant, Jason, became the Tagus of the Thessaly, all the city-states of Thessaly were under his control, and he could at least form an army of more than 30,000 people, and the combat effectiveness of his soldiers was still high. Not weak, this is a huge threat to us in Central Greece!" Ipamironda reminded in a heavy tone.

"Thessaly actually has a Tagus!..." Olivers was a little surprised, and the phrase "an army of more than 30,000 people" also attracted the attention of the other commanders.

Before leaving, Clotokatax had been repeatedly instructed by Davos, and Chief of Staff Plintos was able to obtain more information from the Ministry of Military Affairs, so the expressions of the two were relatively calm.

"After the battle of Leuctra, our Thebes suddenly faced threats from the north (Thessaly), the east (Athens), and the south (Sparta). The situation is quite dangerous! It is because of you Dio Neia's generous reinforcement of troops has restored Mesenia, diverted the attention of the Spartans and Persians, and temporarily relieved the greatest danger for Thebes. We are grateful for this! Of course, I also ask for your forgiveness. , Thebes has to concentrate on dealing with the threat from the north, so I dare not send troops to join you and deal with the Spartans together! I am very sorry for this!" Speaking of which, Ipamironda bowed his head and bowed his head. Waist, respectfully apologized to Clotokatax.
