Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 146 Meeting with Sparta

After hearing this, the three Taigea members changed their faces and ran towards the north.

The protagonists who came to discuss the argument suddenly left, and the other Arcadia Alliance members looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

Printols immediately said in a deep voice: "The Spartan coalition has been defeated. Taking advantage of this favorable opportunity, our army is about to invade the territory of Sparta, and completely solve this problem that has led to decades of wars in Greece. The scourge of the war, and the peace of the Greek people! So we can't delay here any longer, and after the war is over, we will celebrate the victory with you!" After speaking, he also gave a military salute, and then turned his horse's head.

After listening to Plintos's words, all the members present were like a dream: their ally for decades, Sparta, which has dominated Greece for a hundred years, is about to end? !

At this time, Printoles turned around again, his eyes fell on Lycomedes, and he said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that it was not Dionysus that the Tygeans broke the covenant and attacked our army. The ally of the sub-holy kingdom, but our enemy, the captured city of Tygea is naturally the spoils of the Dionysian army!

In order to show that we Dionia sent troops to Peloponnese this time to fulfill the covenant and assist Thebes in defeating Sparta, not to greed for the land of Greece, but also to thank the Mandinians Much help was given to our troops in this battle, and our commander presented this spoil to the Mandinians, and they gladly accepted. "

After Printols finished speaking, the dust flew away, leaving the Arcadia Senators alone: ​​"What do you mean by that?"

"Don't you understand! The Mandinians want to occupy the land of Tygea!"

"what?!!"

A group of people quickly surrounded Lucomedes, who was also unknown, and kept asking...

………………………………………………

After Krotokatax and Tigertinos joined forces, they led nearly 18,000 soldiers into Spartan territory. After going through an undulating mountain road, we came to the Eurotas Valley, followed the winding and narrow valley, and finally reached the defensive camp built by Sparta at dusk.

The small camp could not meet the accommodation of so many soldiers at all. Each legion and each team had to find a place to camp separately. Fortunately, there was no accident that night.

The soldiers who had not slept well the next day set off very early to continue their journey, and finally, when the sun was bright, they walked out of the valley and into the open hilly area.

After this hard journey,

Clotokatax was more deeply aware of how helpful the First Fleet's conquest of Sparta was for the army.

Towards noon, the army finally approached the first town in Sparta, Celasia.

Knowing that the senior generals of the First Fleet led by Sekelian were welcoming them in front of the village, Klotokatax also led Printols and other senior generals to drive over on horseback.

Before he could get off his horse, the famous hero of the kingdom, who was dressed in velvet, dark-skinned, and self-righteous, took the initiative to meet him, and gave a solemn military salute: "Sir Commander, Commander of the First Fleet. Cykrian reports to you!"

Clotokatax immediately dismounted, returned a military salute also solemnly, and then praised loudly: "General Cykrian, congratulations on occupying the territory of Sparta and creating great brilliance! Relying solely on the fleet The infantry successfully landed on the heavily defended Spartan coast and defeated the defenders. This is very remarkable! It has also provided great help to the entire expeditionary army and is conducive to the implementation of our next plan!"

Clotokatax's praise without hesitation made Sekerian and the generals behind him feel happy, Sekerian laughed and said seriously: "Lord Commander, let's be honest with you. , when you took office in Messenia, the reason why I didn't go to see you was actually because the last time the 1st Fleet failed to land on the coast of Sparta, and nearly 1,000 soldiers were killed and wounded. It was my command error. I don't have the face to see you. This time I finally got what I wanted, honor or honor is another matter, but the big stone that has been pressing in my heart has finally fallen, so I dare to come to you to apologize. "

Why did Sekelian, who always thinks highly of himself, put down his figure this time and take the initiative to court the young commander? Mainly because he had been in a high position and possessed some political wisdom over the years, he gradually realized that the battle-hardened King Davos had made the young Clotokatax the commander-in-chief in such an important war, for the sake of For the rest of his life and the future of his children, he had to remain humble to make up for his previous mistakes.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a heavy hum from behind Clotokatax: "Since the 1st Fleet is so powerful, it can do it at sea and on land, and if there is a war in the future, just send the 1st Fleet alone. It's settled!"

Sekelian took a closer look, and the speaker was Olivers, who was a veteran in the military. Although Sekerian was not afraid, there was no need to offend him, and he also gave it to Clotokatak. He left a bad impression, so he said with a smile: "Our 1st Fleet was able to capture Sparta, in fact, because you led the army to attract the main force of Sparta in Arcadia, Commander. And, I also heard that you fought a fierce battle with the Spartans in Tygea and completely defeated the Spartans. It was also a glorious victory! Without this victory, our army would not have been , then even if the First Fleet captures Sparta, it will eventually be recaptured by the main force of Sparta!"

Sekelian's remarks made sense and made the legion commanders feel comfortable, and the displeased look on their faces quickly disappeared.

This also greatly changed Clotokatax's impression of Cykrian. He took over the conversation and said seriously: "It is through the mutual cooperation and joint efforts of the Army and Navy that we have won the battle against Sri Lanka. The victory of Bada! Next, the close cooperation of the navy and the army is needed to successfully defeat the Greek city-state army that is hostile to Dionia! But now we must first deal with the matters after the defeat of Sparta as soon as possible before we can free up our hands To meet the challenges of other Greek city-states. Lord Cykrian, how is the situation in Sparta now?"

Sekelian glanced behind Clotokatax, and felt a little strange: he was familiar with the first army commander Ketisus who had just taken office. He was a very active guy, but why is he now? It seemed a little quiet, and seemed to be a little uneasy.

However, he didn't have time to think about it now, so he answered the young commander's question first: "We have imprisoned all the people in Sparta City, and now the entire Sparta City, including the surrounding villages and towns, have been subordinated to my fleet. Infantry and 7th Legion soldiers occupied.

You may not have imagined that when our landing army approached the city of Sparta, the main defense force of the Spartans had been completely lost, and they actually organized the old people, women and children in the city to fight against us—”

"You didn't kill too many people, did you?" Crotokatax blurted out.

Sekelian glanced at him and said, "No, because we know very well that the Spartans who are alive are more useful than the dead. At that time, I took the soldiers of the Seventh Legion as the vanguard and launched an attack, which quickly defeated the Spartans. , but in the process of arresting them, they were strongly resisted by some people, and many of our soldiers were injured.

Now many of the Helots have fled into the mountains, and the Piriaci have taken refuge in their own villages and towns, all watching. I have few troops under my command, and it is not easy to control the Spartan villages and towns, so now I am eagerly looking forward to your arrival! "

Secorian's frankness made it difficult for Clotokatax to say more in this regard. He just asked: "Have you found any broken soldiers from the north these days?"

"There is no news on this at the moment."

Clotokatax frowned slightly at Cykrian's answer.

"Don't worry, Lord Commander, we have the Spartan people as hostages. The only way for those Spartans who escaped is to surrender. I used this method to force the dozens of Spartans stationed in the northern defense camp to surrender. Soldiers," Sekelian reassured him.

Clotokatax said ponderingly, "General Cykrian, before he came to Peloponnese, my father once told me that he did not intend to annex the land of Sparta, but to Change the government of Sparta and make it a friendly ally of the kingdom..."

Sekelian was taken aback, after all, he was not very good at government affairs, and couldn't help reminding: "Those Spartan elders and inspectors have become our captives, but their temper is very tough and it is not easy to yield. , what can we do to get them to obey?"

Davos had mentioned it before. During the time in the Poloponnese, Clotokatax also thought and pondered repeatedly according to the actual situation. He already had some plans in his heart, and he was confident. Said, "We can first..."

The group walked in the direction of Sparta and said that after more than an hour, they saw two tall bronze warrior statues standing on both sides of the road ahead. They only wore Corinthian helmets, showing strong bodies and holding shield guns. And Saber, roaring while posing as a charge, seems to deter any strangers who want to enter the center of Sparta.

"The city of Sparta is ahead," said Cykrian.

The crowd cheered.

Going around the bronze statue, there are sparse thatched houses in front, which are no different from most of the houses seen in Messenia. Clotokatax knows that this should be the residence of the Black Laus. House of.
