Chapter 116 The Suspicion of Printols

In this way, the camp can not only be used as a camp for the Dionysian army in the Arcadia region and a storage place for military supplies, but also to protect it and defend against the Spartan army from the north and the south to avoid their threats. to the new city of Megalopolis. "

Having said that, he looked at Lucomedes and solemnly said, "It will take at least three days to build the camp. After the camp is basically built, His Royal Highness Klotokataks will lead the main force to continue eastward, passing through Taigea. , go north to rescue Mandinia, defeat the Spartans..."

His words caused a commotion among the Arcadia deputies, and everyone discussed it in a low voice for a while.

The first to respond was Lucomedes. Because he understood why the other party looked at him and spoke, he immediately stated, "We Mandinians are confident that we can stick to it for at least a month!"

Then someone else said, "After our soldiers are assembled, we will rush to Mandinia as soon as possible to fight the Spartans with you."

Printoles responded with a serious face, "Our soldiers are very happy to have the opportunity to fight alongside the citizens of Arcadia! But according to the current situation, I have a suggestion for your reference... Here is your alliance's There are also many villages around the center, but they lack sufficient protection. Although we will build a camp in the east to block the invasion of the Spartans, we are not familiar with the geographical environment here. We do not know whether the Spartans will Will climb over the mountains, bypass the camp, and raid Megalopolis... so I suggest that your army should be stationed here to defend against the Spartan raids with our army left at the camp..."

When Printols made this suggestion, Clotokatax was surprised because it was a little different from the plan they had negotiated before, but he suppressed his doubts and did not raise objections on the spot.

The words of Printoles made the Arcadia deputies a little moved, and after a brief discussion, they agreed.

At this time, their attitude towards Clotokatax and the others changed greatly and became more enthusiastic. After all, the Spartans were now invading the territory of the Arcadians, but now it was Dionia. The army was completely in the front, avoiding too many casualties for the Arcadians, and they inevitably felt guilty.

After Clotokatax and the others said goodbye to the Arcadia deputies and rode their horses to chase the army, Plintors took the initiative to explain to the young commander, "Your Highness, please forgive me for arrogantly just now. Advocate, changed the previously negotiated plan."

Dionysian's previous military plan was for the Arcadia Alliance to send an army to fight side by side with the Dionysian army. This would not only enhance the friendship between the two sides, but also have the Arcadia army as a guide, which would undoubtedly make Daionia. The Onia army integrated into this unfamiliar war zone faster.

"I think Lord Printols must have had an important reason for doing this.

"Klotokatax said softly.

The reason why Printols dared to make an assertion and change his plans temporarily was because after spending time with Clotokatax, he had a deep understanding of his habit of thinking about others, and at this time. Clotokatax gave him another reassurance, and at the same time made him more determined to assist the young prince.

Printols regained his energy and said seriously, "His Royal Highness, although you are very generous in not pursuing the assassination just now in order not to affect our alliance with the Arcadia Alliance, but even if the assassin came from Olympia, How did they know that we were meeting with the Arcadia confederates today? How did they wear Bolton the same color as the Arcadia senators, escaped the patrols of Arcadian soldiers, and infiltrated the ranks ?… All of this has to cause us to ponder, because it will affect our next fight with the Spartans?"

"You mean..." Clotokataxus mused, "There are spies among those Arcadia Senators?"

Printols further reminded, "The Arcadia alliance was just established, but the alliance between these city-states of Arcadia and Sparta has lasted for decades, and it is the most consistent among all the allies of Sparta. The one with the longest time and the strongest relationship, although they have now betrayed Sparta, I think there is no shortage of people in their country who are close to Sparta..."

Clotokatax thought for a moment with a solemn expression, and then said hesitantly, "Are you worried that when we fight with the Arcadians, they will... suddenly become friends and enemies? That's why you proposed to let Ah The Cadian army is staying at Megalopolis, so that they won't join us?"

"His Royal Highness." Plintos said sincerely, "In the past wars of the kingdom, the wise Your Majesty has subtly instigated the enemy's interior many times, thus shortening the time for the final victory. Because of this, we must be more careful of the enemy. Using this tactic on us, especially now that we are going all out to fight the tough Spartans, if our allies by our side suddenly attack us, the consequences will be disastrous... So to be on the safe side For this reason, it is safer for us to keep the Arcadians out of direct combat.

What's more, with our army's current strength enough to deal with the Spartans, without the drag of the Arcadia army, our army will be commanded more smoothly and the battle will be more determined! "

"I understand, thanks for the reminder, Lord Plintos, and I agree to implement a new plan." Clotokatax was still a little skeptical. How can we get the help of the local people during the battle? How can we not be regarded as the enemy by them?”

"Your Highness, not all Arcadian city-states have had close relations with the Spartans in the past."

Clotokatax's eyes lit up at Printols' reminder, "You mean Mandinia! ... It seems that while we are building the camp, we have to send someone to have a good talk with Lycomedes, Hopefully he can send us some Mandinians as guides."

"Yes, Your Highness." Plintors said respectfully, not contrived, but from the heart. In his opinion, although this young prince lacks military experience, he is not only good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates, but also can quickly draw inferences from others once he is instructed. He is by no means a puppet who can be fooled. He deserves to have the god Hades blood vessels.

At this time, they have caught up with the large army marching.

The soldiers who had been marching for a long time had already sang the "Song of the Legion" under the command of the team officers. Clotokatax immediately rode close to the marching column and sang along with the soldiers regardless of their status, even singing. When he was excited, he shook his head, which not only did not make the soldiers feel funny, but made them feel friendly.

The majestic and heroic singing washed away the fatigue of the soldiers, and also echoed in the hills and mountains, making the Arcadia councilors stop and listen. Although the lyrics were not clear, it did not prevent them from sighing, "The Dionysian Soldier's Morale is high!"

"It's not just high morale, you look at their equipment, look at their marches, this is a well-trained army, and they are fully capable of fighting against Sparta!"

"Is it just a confrontation?! You and I have fought with the Spartans many times. The Spartans are indeed well-trained, but how many are they! Look at this Dionysian army, it's been so long , I haven't seen its tail! I'm afraid that the number that General Dionia said is correct, their number of soldiers exceeds 30,000, and the few Spartans are probably not their opponents!"

"Can you see the combat effectiveness of the army just by looking at the march? I think the strength and weakness will not be known until the two sides actually fight!"

"Anyway, with the powerful Dionia as an ally, we will feel very at ease!"

"Don't forget, the powerful Sparta used to be our ally, but why do we have to form an alliance? Hey! I'm afraid that an old wolf king will be driven away and a new wolf king will be ushered in!"

"The key is that this new wolf king is not quite the same as our beliefs. They think Hades is the lord of the gods! Otherwise, why would the Olympians assassinate the Dionysian commander! Everyone, don't forget , Zeus is also the protector of our Arcadia alliance!"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings fell silent.

Lucomedes hurriedly said loudly, "Everyone, it is very clear in our covenant with Dionia that both parties respect their respective religious beliefs and will never slander and interfere with each other... You don't have to worry about this at all! Now Spar The arrival of the Da army is related to the survival of the alliance, we need a strong ally Dionia to help us repel the enemy, this is what we should do at this time, and other things can be ignored for the time being!"

"Lucomedes is right!" Some lawmakers loudly agreed, while others remained silent.

Lucomedes is a little helpless, this is the current situation of the alliance, he has spent too much energy these days in order to convince them, and now he is a little tired...
