Chapter 142 Conquest of Sparta

Sephiroth moved his right hand slightly, pretending to be relaxed and said: "I was accidentally shot, but fortunately, no bones were injured, the blood has been stopped, and it's all right now, but I haven't been for a while. Fa salutes you."

"Wait a while until the medical camp arrives, and then let them give you serious medical treatment. You are the hero who defeated the Spartans now. Don't cause your wounds to become infected and cause serious illness because of your carelessness. As a result, you can't enjoy any honor..."

"I said, sir, are you caring about me or cursing me?!" Sephiroth said dissatisfiedly.

Sekelian was more casual when getting along with the senior officers of the First Fleet. He laughed: "The military salute is not needed for the time being. It will be added later. What's the situation now?"

"The Spartans sent a messenger to ask for peace talks with us. I couldn't make the decision, so I just..."

"We have completely defeated the Spartan army, they have no strength, our soldiers can easily go and occupy the city of Sparta, at this time they want peace talks? This is a dream, right? Drive this messenger away, and we will lead the army into the city."

"This messenger said that he was a friend of Xenophon who had gone on an expedition to Persia with His Majesty Davos."

"Your Majesty's friend?" Sekelian finally showed some seriousness, but after pondering for a while, he still said: "I don't think Your Majesty will give up the most beneficial measures for the kingdom because of personal friendship... ... so, you go tell that... er... Xenophon, Dionysus will not accept peace unless Sparta surrenders immediately."

Sephiroth took the lead and returned quickly: "My lord, he agrees with Sparta's surrender, but—"

"But the Dionian army can't enter the city of Sparta, and can't harass the people of Sparta!" Xenophon, who was closely behind Sephiroth, said loudly.

Sekelian raised his head, squinted at him, and sneered: "Don't let us enter Sparta City, and we can't arrest the Spartans, what kind of surrender!"

"Sparta surrendered to Dionia, gave up all the city-states it controlled, and only kept the original territory of Sparta, and even accepted some reforms of the Spartan government by Dionia, and the Spartans would later Keeping the offensive and defensive with Dionia, no matter who Dionia fights in the future, Sparta must fight with it... General, in the Peloponnesian War, Athens finally failed and surrendered to Sparta, The accepted conditions are almost the same, and now Sparta’s offer of surrender is even more stringent, enough to show our sincerity, isn’t that enough?” Xenophon said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Secorian was still suspicious: "These conditions you said... Did the Spartans agree to it?"

"They have given me full authority,

Never object! " Xenophon said firmly.

Sekelian sneered again, looked at him, and said bluntly: "To be honest, I don't believe in your surrender, because the main force of Sparta is still in Arcadia, you just need to delay. In a day or two, they will be able to return quickly... Hehe, so whether it is the Spartan commander who was on the beach before, or you now, you have proposed not to let us enter Sparta City, so that they can rush back save!"

"General, since the Spartans have agreed to surrender, they will keep their promises and will never go back on their promises!" Xenophon exclaimed excitedly as if he had been insulted: "They are the descendants of Hercules, They swear in the name of Hercules that they will never break the agreement!"

"You make it sound like the Spartans can keep their promises just like us Dionia, but I don't believe you!" Sekelian shook his head and said sarcastically, "I think you had so many city-states in Greece together back then. You signed the contract of some great king and swore an oath to the gods, but you Spartans violated the contract not long after, and suddenly attacked the city of Thebes..."

"Then what do we have to do to convince you?" Xenophon was at a loss for words, and soon he asked again eagerly.

Cyclion ignored him, turned to Sephardus and said, "The soldiers have had enough rest, gather them immediately, enter the city of Sparta, and capture all the Spartans for me. stand up!"

"Yes!"

Xenophon was anxious when he heard this, and went up to grab Cykrian's sleeve and said earnestly, "Wait a minute! General, you can't do this!..."

Sekelian threw his hand vigorously: "And him, grab him for me too!"

The fleet infantry and 7th legionnaires who received orders quickly lined up in long and loose horizontal formations, stepping on wheat fields, vegetable fields, vineyards, and passing through sparse and uninhabited thatched huts...

As they approached the dense group of houses, they were surprised to see a lot of old people, women, and even children appearing among the houses, all armed with spears, daggers, and even wooden sticks, glaring at them.

The entire Dionian army stopped advancing.

After learning the news, Sekelian was silent for a while, and then ordered in a deep voice: "As expected of Sparta, who established the country by force, since he has taken up arms, he is the enemy! Tell the soldiers, don't be careless, and don't be merciful. , attack them immediately! But if they put down their weapons and stop attacking, they can no longer kill, only arrest, understand?!"

"clear!"

In the King's Office of the Royal Palace of Turii, Davos was listening to the report of the intelligence chief Aristillas: "Your Majesty, we have received a secret report from Greece in the past two days. The Citizens' Assembly of Athens has passed the agreement to join the Greek Union. We decided to declare war on us. We are currently conducting military mobilization in the entire Attica region, and began to prepare a large amount of military supplies. At the same time, we also cooperated with the priests of Delphi to send envoys to the surrounding city-states in an attempt to unite these city-states and send them to us. declare war..."

After listening to this, Davos frowned slightly, and soon stretched it out again, and muttered with a calm expression: "Don't look at the Athenians often talk about 'what freedom, equality, and resistance to tyranny', in fact, they suffer from the same The Athenians were far more ambitious than the Spartans, who were dragged down by Heros and focused more on securing their own territory.

They wanted to control the Aegean Sea, because it was the source of their wealth; they wanted to control the Eoken Sea, because it was the source of their food; and they thought of controlling Greater Greece, so that they could threaten Sparta and Burrow The Ponnesian League; they were once allies of Egypt, helping it defend against the Persian aggression... Athens wants to build a kingdom that controls the entire Mediterranean!

This idea has not changed much since Pericles and today's Athenian rulers. It will inevitably conflict with the interests of our kingdom, and eventually lead to war... This is what we expected. "

"However, our army is still fighting against Sparta in the Peloponnesus. If Athens chooses to attack at this time, it will add a lot of trouble to us." Aristillas couldn't help but say.

Davos did not respond directly, but asked: "In addition to Athens, which Greek city-states have joined this alliance now?"

"Ellis has received the promise of the priests of Olympia and Pisa, and has decided to join the alliance; Corinth and Megara seem to feel the threat of our fleet and have joined the alliance explicitly; Argos is still hesitating, mainly they The populace did not want to help the Spartans; the Phokis, influenced by the priests of Delphi, joined the alliance; the Phokis and Athens joined, followed by the Lochris;

The Thebes declared to the outside world that we were their allies and helped them in their most difficult times, they could not break their oath to God and declare war on us, but they would not point their spears at the ones who had helped They have passed their neighbors, so they remain neutral; under the influence of Thebes, most of the city-states of the Pioxia League have also chosen neutrality;

The priests of Delphi and the messengers of Athens both lobbied the Thessaly. The current information shows that Jason is still hesitating and has not made a statement; in addition, Athens also sent messengers to the western part of Central Greece in an attempt to win over Acarnania and The indigenous people in the Aetonia region, what is the specific situation, I have not received any news yet... The general situation is probably the same. "

After listening to the more detailed introduction of Aristillas, Davos tapped the table with his hand and said in a deep voice, "Pelopidas of Thebes once quietly sent a letter stating to me that Thebes had to The reason for making this choice, considering the environment Thebes is in today, they can make a neutral choice, and they have taken a lot of risks, and I can understand this.

Athens officially joined this alliance against us, which means that most of the Ionian city-states headed by Athens will declare war on us; although Jason is still watching, I think since he has ambitions to become the hegemon of Greece, he should Knowing that this is his only chance to beat our Dionysians back and achieve his goals, he'll join in eventually..."

Speaking of this, his tone became extremely powerful: "These Greek city-states who oppose us are all gathered together, and it is also a good thing to fight against us. We can save time, eradicate them all at one time, and completely control the Greek mainland!"

Then, there was a benevolent look on his face: "Now the situation in Greece is getting complicated, and it will be a good exercise for Clotokatax. I believe that in Plintor With the assistance of several high-ranking generals such as Esther and Cykrian, the army he led in the Peloponnesus would not be in great danger."
