Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 145 The Reaction of the Arcadia Alliance Chapter 145 The Reaction of the Arcadia Alliance

Initially, Agesilaus planned to strengthen the defenses on the north and south sides, completely preventing the Dionysian army from outside the country. This was a passive military defense that had to be adopted due to insufficient troops. Agesilaus knew very well that it could not last, and that Sparta, who could only be beaten passively, would inevitably be cast aside by its allies and lose its hegemony, so after the Persian reinforcements landed in Corinth, he saw some points of victory over Dionia. The army's chance to win was the risk to lead the main force north. He was prepared to retreat to the defense if the battle failed, but it backfired...

When the Dionysian army built a camp in Arcadia before, the soldiers of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade had sneaked into the northern part of the Spartan territory and had a preliminary understanding of the defense of Sparta in the north, so the two companies of the Seventh Legion Carefully explore along the valley.

As a result, when they arrived at the Spartan defense camp, they found that it turned out to be an empty camp! The company captain was both puzzled and surprised, and immediately occupied the camp. At the same time, the more curious divisions continued to probe south, just in time to collide with a fleet of infantry soldiers sent north by Cykleon to announce the news to the main Dionysian force.

Now that Clotokatax sees this battle report, his mood is a little complicated. He finally won a big battle and will soon be able to take the huge glory of conquering Sparta into his arms, but he didn't expect it. This glory has already been taken away by the First Fleet, although the First Fleet is nominally under his command.

As the chief of staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Printols does not care much about the issues of the army and navy and the attribution of military merit. He is more accustomed to thinking about issues from the strategic level. Thought, he comforted softly: "Judging from the battle report, the 1st Fleet's landing operations were arranged carefully and ingeniously, but even so they paid a considerable price, which shows that the remaining Spartan army still has a strong combat effectiveness.

According to the previous investigation, the defense of the Spartans in the north of the territory is also very strict, and the mountains in the north are not conducive to the development of our army's offensive, and it is more convenient for the Spartans to defend. If you want to enter Sparta from the north, you must It will cost a lot of casualties, and it is likely to make the battle more protracted! The current situation in Greece is complicated, and the more time delays, the more unfavorable it is for us.

Fortunately, Sekelion strictly implemented your order and launched the landing operation in time...so that we have enough time to calmly deal with the challenges of other Greek city-states. "

After hearing this, Clotokatax was silent for a while, then laughed at himself, and said calmly: "Lord Plintos, I admit that I am a little jealous of the 1st Fleet's conquest of Sparta. But I think the first 1 The success of the fleet has nothing to do with my orders. It is mainly due to the ability of Lord Sekelian. No wonder my father praised him as one of the best military commanders in the kingdom!

But you are right, the fact that the 1st Fleet can conquer Sparta so quickly is a good thing for our army and the kingdom, so we should happily accept the invitation of Cykrian and rush to Sparta , deal with post-war issues as soon as possible and meet new challenges. "

Printols was surprised that the young prince could change his mind so quickly,

During this period of time, in getting along with Clotokatax, the prince who was steady, unassuming, hardworking, humbly listened to opinions, and was good at getting along with others gave Printols a deep impression. But he was still a little surprised that the young prince was able to change his mentality so quickly, and he was more optimistic about his future, and said to him: "I suggest that His Royal Highness tell the soldiers now, even though it will cause them to disagree with the first. Fleet dissatisfaction, but when they reach Sparta City, they may have adapted and there will be no conflict with the soldiers of the First Fleet."

Clotokatax agreed to Plintos's suggestion and passed on the news at once.

It didn't take long for the army to stir up a commotion. Despite the restrictions of military law and officers, it did not affect the march. But along the way, the soldiers of the legionaries scolded the 1st Fleet incessantly. Once deeply realized the contradiction between the Dionysian Navy and the Army and the deep desire of the soldiers for honor.

As they approached the southern border of Tygea and joined Tygotinus, the army encountered members of the Arcadia Alliance.

After the battle, Clotokatax was busy with post-war matters and did not send anyone to inform the Arcadia Alliance. The Mandinian guides, in a hurry to return to their home state, informed the council of the decision of the Dionysian commander, and did not go to Megalopolis.

On the second day, the members of the Arcadian Union saw a mighty crowd returning from Tygea and passing through the territory of Megalopolis, including Dionysian troops and thousands of prisoners. I came forward to ask and learned that the Dionysian army had a large-scale battle with Sparta yesterday, and won the final victory.

Of course, they were also surprised to know that in this decisive battle between Dionia and Sparta, the Tygeans suddenly betrayed and attacked the flank of Dionia's army, causing great trouble for it, so Enraged, the Dionian army captured Tygea after the war, captured its surviving populace, and sent it back to Messenia.

The members of the Arcadian Union were appalled by the cruel decision made by the Dionysians, knowing that there were also three members from Tygea among them. The soldiers also refused to release the captives. Therefore, the Arcadia deputies headed by Lycomedes had no choice but to rush to Tygea, preparing to intercede with the commander of the Dionysian army, and they happened to meet halfway.

Faced with the pleas of the Arcadia deputies, Clotokatax felt a headache. After the battle that day, he was too angry because of Adoris' warriors, and gave such an order. After a day, his mood was relatively stable, and he regretted that the order was too cruel, but the order has been carried out, and the soldiers have also received Welcome, any more changes will only weaken his authority, so he can only admit it regardless, but now there are bitter masters chasing the door to ask for an explanation, which makes him very embarrassed.

Printoles saw his dilemma and offered to represent him to meet these Arcadia members.

Clotokatax thanked him.

Printols ran out of the team on horseback and rushed to the road ahead. When he saw the Arcadia deputies, his face was like frost, and he said angrily: "The Arcadians, it was the Your request won our trust, and the kingdom formed an alliance with you, so when Mandinia was under siege, we sent a large army to the rescue.

On the way, we learned that another ally, Taigea, was also attacked by the Spartans and was in danger. So in order to rescue Taigea, regardless of the fatigue of the march, we had a battle with the Spartan army. Who knows This is a conspiracy!

Goddamn Tegya! They colluded with Sparta, set traps, and even sent troops to sneak attack on our army's side during the battle, causing the army to pay a heavy price of more than 3,000 casualties! And, General Adoris, son of our great Majesty Davos, died in battle!

The Taiga people collectively betray the covenant and violate the sacred oath, and of course they will be severely punished! Whether this punishment can even appease His Majesty's anger due to his grief is unknown. Anyone with knowledge of Dionia's past history should know that we, the Dionysian Holy Kingdom, keep our promises, but we also hate betrayals! Now that Tigera betrayed at a critical time, we have to express deep doubts about whether your city-state can still fulfill the covenant! …”

The appearance of Printoles asking for guilt surprised the members of the Arcadia Alliance. They did not expect that Taigea's betrayal had caused such serious consequences: more than 3,000 casualties, equivalent to the young and middle-aged population of one of their city-states. The Dionian Soldier Casualties! Even the son of King Dionia died in battle!

Now, the Dionysian army has defeated the Spartan coalition in the battle, which has shown them the power of Dionia, and the Arcadian deputies, who have begun to fear its force, are really worried that the king of Dionia will take anger on the Their city-states began to express their positions: "We Mandinians and Sparta are deadly enemies, and we are also the initiators of this covenant. We can never betray you Dionia like Taigea!"

We Flios, too, the Spartan mercenaries destroyed our villages, destroyed our fields, our people hated the Spartans and could never cooperate with the Spartans! "

"Since we Okomanus have sworn an oath in the name of the gods and signed an alliance agreement with Dionia, we will abide by this agreement within the time limit, and we will never go back on it!"

...

The Arcadia deputies were eager to defend themselves and prove their innocence, completely forgetting the purpose of their trip, and only the Taiga begged loudly: "General, we admit that the Taiga made a big mistake, but Many of them are probably not voluntarily, but were coerced by the Spartans and the pro-Spartan nobles of the Tigeras, so they had to! I hope you can forgive their sins, and the Tigerians will certainly be grateful I will do my best to assist the Dionian allies in the future! …”

Plintos looked at these Taigea members with an unusually pitying look, and said softly: "You don't know yet, before our army arrived at Taigea, Taigea kissed Si. The Badas colluded with the Spartans and incited the people to massacre all the anti-Spartans and their relatives in the city. After we broke the city of Tygea, only a few survivors were found, and they were the only ones who were not punished. People, are currently receiving treatment in the city, I hope Hades bless, they have your relatives..."
