Although the people present did not know much about the difficulties Thebes is facing today, they have never thought of letting Thebes provide assistance and fight against Sparta, so Ipamironda's candid apology made Eke The people led by Rotokatax were both stunned and moved.

Clotokatax said immediately: "General Ipamironda, Thebes is facing difficulties and cannot support us. We can understand these, so His Majesty specially sent enough soldiers to come to Peloponnes. To deal with Sparta, the strength of our Dionia alone is enough. When Sparta is completely defeated, we will lead the army north to help you remove other threats and restore peace to Thebes!"

Clotokatax did not make a random promise because of a momentary excitement. He considered that since the Kingdom of Dionia wants to dominate the situation in Greece, it is likely to conflict with Athens and Thessaly in the future. Using the excuse of helping the ally Thebes, you can get the gratitude and assistance of Thebes, and can cover up the real purpose, why not do it?

Printols also took this into account, so when Clotokatax made his promise, he did not interrupt or cover up.

When Olivers, Tiger Delos and other legion commanders heard it, they learned that there were other battles to fight besides Sparta, and they naturally agreed.

Ipamironda had a very moved look, and he said emotionally: "When I go back, I will definitely tell every Thebes that what Dionia has done for Thebes, let me The Thebes will never forget your kindness! Apollo is above, I swear in your name that I will do my best to make Thebes the firmest ally of Dionia in Greece!"

When Ipamironda knelt down on half knees, palms up to the sky, and solemnly swore, Clotokatax was a little stunned, he suddenly felt a little ashamed, and quickly stepped forward to help him up: "Ipami Ronda made a solemn oath. General Ronda, you...you are..."

"Compared to the great help you Dionia has done to Thebes, this is all I can do." Ipamironda said sincerely.

Clotokatax was a little moved, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Ipamironda said again: "Now you are at war with Sparta, and Thebes cannot send troops to fight for the time being, but we persuaded the Arcadians to support you."

"I have already heard from the former commander about this." Clotokatax frowned and said as gently as possible: "However, I heard that Sparta has sent messengers to talk to Arkady. The demi-humans have recovered their friendship, so the Arcadians have not sent messengers to ask us for help."

Ipamironda smiled slightly,

He said sternly: "The Arcadia Alliance has just been established, and the city-states to which it belongs have always been allies of Sparta. In the face of the rare gesture of goodwill from the Spartans, hesitation is inevitable. However, Arcadia The leader of the Asian Union is Mandinia. The city of Mandinia was once destroyed by Spartans. The Mandinians have been displaced for more than ten years. They have a deep hatred with the Spartans. Bada and hello.

What's more, Lucomedes, the chief general of Mandinia, was the main person who contributed to the establishment of the Arcadia Alliance. He not only had a high reputation in Mandinia but also in the entire Arcadia region. He once served as a messenger. Went to Thebes for help, and was persuaded by us to ask Dionysus for help instead. I spent a few days with him on the way to Messenia, and I think he is a very wise and far-sighted man who will not allow the Spartans to succeed! "

"Since the general said so, then we will wait a little longer." Clotokatax agreed with Ipamironda's suggestion.

Olivers, who was next to him, had some objection to this, and wanted to express his opinion, but was stopped by Plintos with his eyes.

His unwilling expression fell into Ipamironda's eyes, and Ipamironda seemed to have never seen it, and continued to talk to Clotokatax calmly.

The two sides exchanged some views and suggestions on "how to defeat the Spartans", and later even exchanged views on "how to train soldiers, how to organize the army" and other issues, even Olivers several legion commanders also joined in, The conversation lasted for more than three hours, and until Ipamironda left, others were still unsure.

Looking at the back of his departure, Clotokatax couldn't help but sigh: "Ipamironda is not only very insightful in the military, but also very knowledgeable, but also so humble and eager to learn. A respectable old man!"

"It's a pity." Plintors said in a deep voice: "We came to Greece, which will definitely limit the continued growth of Thebes. Ipamironda may not have the opportunity to continue to develop its talents!"

"But at least more Thebes were prevented from dying," said Clotokatax softly.

"Your Highness." Olivers interjected: "Do we really have to wait for the Arcadians to make a decision before leading the army to attack the Spartans from the north?"

"Uncle Olivers." Crotokatax's tone was gentle, but his expression was firm: "The situation in Peloponnese is complicated, we can't be in a hurry, otherwise it is likely to turn what should be a friend into an enemy."

………………………………………………

Facts have proved that Ipamironda's judgment is not wrong, and Clotokatax's waiting is also correct. On the second day after Ipamironda left Mesenia, the Arcadian messenger arrived, The leader was Lucomedes.

Originally he only came to ask for help, but in Messenia he saw the powerful army of Dionia, and the army of Dionia was doing its best to help the Mesenians rebuild the new Mesenian government and the city of Mesenia .

After some thought, Lycomedes changed his mind and decided to ally with Dionysus.

Clotokatax held talks with him as commander of the Dionian expedition and as prince.

After two days of consultations, the two sides initially drafted a resolution, the main content of which is: Dionia recognizes the Arcadia alliance and guarantees that the interests of its alliance will not be violated;

The Arcadian League also recognizes Messenia and will maintain friendly relations with it;

Dionia will assist the Arcadia Alliance in building Megalobilis as a symbol of friendship between the two parties;

Dionia formed a military alliance with the Arcadia Alliance, and when one was invaded by a powerful enemy, the other would fully provide assistance. And if you want to attack the enemy together, it's only for Sparta...

Judging from this alliance treaty, Dionia’s side undoubtedly suffered some losses, but when Clotokatax and Plintos and others negotiated privately, they have reached an agreement: as long as they can get the With the support of the people in the Arcadia region in the center of the Peloponnese (even if it is only neutral), Dionysian's attack on Sparta will undoubtedly be much smoother, and it is okay to suffer some losses for the time being.

After the agreement was reached, Lucomedes did not stay in Messenia much, and immediately returned to Arcadia, ready to persuade the alliance so that the agreement could finally be passed.

Clotokatax also sent a messenger to bring the agreement back to Turii for Davos to review.

Naturally it took some time for this to come and go, during which time Clotokatax, on the advice of Plintos, suspended the soldiers to continue construction activities, and all of them were replaced by the Mesenians, who began to strengthen their defense against the army. He also stayed at the training ground every day, supervising the training of the army, while also letting the soldiers get used to his presence.

The confederation agreement with the Arcadia Confederation was presented to King Davos, and was soon ratified. However, the Arcadia Alliance had a lot of controversy on this matter. In fact, the members of the entire alliance had already had disagreements on the issue of "accept Sparta's request for peace? Or ask Dionysian for help?" Due to the small differences, Lucomedas also spent a lot of energy to finally get the alliance to agree to ask Dionia for help.

It is said that the Spartans are conservative, and the Arcadians are more than that. This is because the Arcadia region is located in the center of the Peloponnesian Peninsula. It is not close to the sea, and is mostly mountainous. It is relatively closed geographically, and the local people have a strong sense of vigilance against foreign forces.

Among them, the situation of the Mandinians is much better. After all, they have been wandering abroad for more than ten years and have more knowledge. A hundred years ago, after Tygea and Okomenus were the most resolute opponents.

Taigea is located in the southeast of the region. Since joining the Peloponnesian Union a hundred years ago, Sparta has always used it as a barrier to the north of Laconia, so it has long used methods of suppression and coercion. As a result, after Tygea joined the Arcadia Alliance, there are still many pro-Spartan people in its country, so when Sparta sent messengers to the alliance to seek peace, it was the most active; Located in the east of Arcadia, adjacent to Pisa, the two have a close relationship. When the Olympia Games were held, Ocomenas even shared some benefits, such as allowing Ocomenas merchants to go to some good locations in Olympia. Set up a stall to allow the priests of Ocomenas to participate in the games... But Pisa is fully supported by Sparta, which makes the feelings of Ocomenas for Sparta very complicated...

In the view of these Arcadian confederate city-states, independence from Sparta was a last resort, but helping an outside power to fight Sparta was unacceptable, even though Lycomedas argued that, "In order to ensure the safety of the Arcadia Alliance, this is only an expedient measure." The councilors of these city-states still expressed difficulty in accepting it. Therefore, for several days, the council of the Arcadian League debated the question of "alliance with Dionia".
