Chapter 151 Bad News
There was a glimmer of hope in the dim eyes of everyone.
However, Agesilaus sighed inwardly: Even if they recaptured Sparta in the end, would those Periasians and Helots who have tasted the sweetness be willing to accept their rule again?

In the evening, Davos dragged his tired body back to his mansion.
Dinner was the busiest time for the Davos family, but today Davos didn't talk much. Even though Eunice took the initiative to raise the topic with his father several times, his answer seemed perfunctory.
After the meal, Davos called Cristoia and Agnes to the master bedroom on the second floor.
"Your Majesty, did something happen to Cloto?!" It was rare for Kristoya to see such an ugly look from Davos, and she had been worrying about Clotokata who was on an expedition these days. Kes, so he felt a lot of unease in his heart.
Davos sighed: "It's not Cloto, it's Adoris... He has gone to Elysee..."
The first sentence made Cristoia breathe a sigh of relief, and the second sentence made her worry again: "Adoris?! How could it be?! He has always been so reassuring, and his body is so strong, he has become a Captain...how-"
Davos sighed again and said in a heavy tone: "Kloto led the army to fight with the main Spartan army in a decisive battle. The Spartans attacked fiercely, and the brigade led by Adoris was the focus of the attack. He ended up with multiple battle wounds..."
Cristoia was dumbfounded for a moment, and suddenly scolded: "What is Kloto doing! As the army coach, why didn't he take more care of his brother! Did he forget that Adoris has been through these years? How did you take care of him!—"
"Sister!" Agnes entered the door late after all. In addition to her indifference, she didn't have deep feelings for Adoris, so she could keep calm when she heard the news. Holding her slightly trembling hand, he comforted softly: "Kloto has a deep friendship with Adoris, and it is impossible not to take care of his brother. This is probably an... accident, right?"
Davos nodded and said in a low voice: "The Spartan king Agsilaus is a cunning opponent, he made a sinister battle plan, which once caused the First Legion to fall into chaos, almost causing our army to be in chaos. The entire battle was defeated. Fortunately, Cloto responded properly and finally won the battle... The entire brigade led by Adoris was almost completely destroyed, which was the biggest loss in this battle!"
"But... how should I face Cynthia,
Facing Aidui and the kids! "Cristoia shed hot tears and sobbed and said: "Since Adoris went out of his independence, I didn't care much about him. I'm not a good mother..."
Davos lightly pressed his wife's shoulder and said emotionally: "No, you have always been a good mother to Adoris, and you have nurtured him carefully... On the contrary, I have never truly accepted him. For my own child, I was too strict with him, and now that I think about it... I really regret it!"
Cristoia looked at her husband with tears in her eyes, and while wiping her tears, she comforted: "Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself, teaching children is our woman's business, you are so busy..."
Cristoia's words could not reduce the guilt in Davos' heart, he shook his head, stood up, and said, "Agnes, you are here to accompany Cristoia well, I'll go out for a walk. Walk."
"Where are you going so late?" Agnes asked with concern.
"Stand on the cliff and look at the Krati River."
Davos was really standing on a hill overlooking the Klaty River in the evening. He still remembered that when he first moved to this hill more than ten years ago, it was dark all around at night, and the swirling river surface reflected the moonlight, which made it look extraordinarily deep. Coupled with the rumbling sound of the waves coming from upstream, it always gave people a kind of feeling. Palpitations.
However, now, not only are the lights on both sides of the Krati River twinkling like stars in the sky, but the lights in the river are also connected into a piece, reflecting the river surface, which are the ships entering the river port under the guidance of the lighthouse, and some Dionys. The Asian merchants deliberately used custom-made cruise ships to make river restaurants... The liveliness and hustle and bustle replaced the desolation and coldness of the past. This is what Davos has created with his decades of hard work, and it is also his change to the world.
Thinking of this, a sense of pride rose from the bottom of my heart, dispelling Davers' original guilt.

The news of "The Dionysian army conquered Sparta" quickly spread throughout Greece, shocking many city-states, but also prompting some city-states to speed up the pace of joint resistance.
Because the Corinthians were active participants in the war between Dionia and Sparta, they were even attacked by the Dionysian fleet against the merchant ships in the port. Therefore, the enraged Corinth was the first to join the anti-Dionysian alliance. One of the city-states, it is now very likely to be the next target of the Dionian army.
The uneasy Corinthians called for help from allied nations while conducting urgent military mobilizations.
Argos has been hesitant during this war. In addition to not wanting to help sworn enemy Sparta, another important reason is that Dionysian messenger Karias once proposed to the Argos council, "As long as they support Dai Onia, after the war Dionia will take Teetia (not Tegea in Arcadia, but in the northeast corner of Sparta territory, which was taken by Sparta a hundred years ago) A small town adjacent to the territory of Argos) returned to Argos."
The Argos were tempted, but were soon shaken again by the persuasion of the articulate Athenian messengers. Later, as a neighbor of Sparta, the Argos discovered that after the Dionysians occupied Sparta, they completely abolished the original government system of Sparta, and changed both Periasians and Heros. Became a new citizen of Sparta... Sparta has not changed except the land, everything else has changed.
This terrified Argos, who was also an oligarch, and they finally decided to join the anti-Dionian alliance to strengthen the defense of the border and reinforce the friendly ally Corinth.
The Athenians were already conducting military mobilization. After learning that the Dionysian army had completely occupied Sparta, the Athens Council felt even more urgent, and repeatedly urged its overseas allies and sub-states to send reinforcements and materials to Athens as soon as possible, because Callistratus and other generals knew that when Sparta fell and Dionysus was strong, if Athens did not stand up and raise its arms, many city-states that were not firm-willed would likely be defeated. Towards Dioria.
Therefore, Athens quickly formed an army of 10,000 people, led by Ephetrax, and went all the way to support Corinth with great fanfare.
Thebes and its allies were even more determined to remain neutral when they learned that Dionysus had taken Sparta. In the west, the city-states of Phokis and Lokris were influenced by the priests of Delphi and actively responded to the call of Athens, and sent a total of 6,000 soldiers to join the Athenian army.
Sparta was completely defeated, and Pisa did not have strong support. Even without its previous commitment, it was inevitable that it would eventually attach to Elis in the same area. Elis, who had shown hostility to Dionia before, began to hesitate. Undecided, because after Messenia and Sparta were occupied by Dionia, and the Arcadia Alliance became an alliance of Dionia, Elis located in the northwest corner of the Peloponnese Peninsula. It has been completely surrounded by Dionia and its allies, so when other city-states that joined the anti-Dionian alliance are actively taking action, it has somewhat died down.
After the Dionysian army gave Tegea to Mandinia, the other city-states of the Arcadian alliance hoped that Mandinia would return the Tegea territory, and joined them in persuading the Dionysian army Forgive the captive Tegya people and return them to their homes.
How could the Mandinians spit out the fat they had swallowed in their mouths? In the face of the surging public opinion, Lucomedes, who initially expressed his opposition, finally changed his tune and defended Mandinia's interests.
The two sides quarreled endlessly, and some city-states even threatened to "leave the alliance". At this moment, the news that "the Dionysian army occupied the whole territory of Sparta" came, and the quarrel in the Arcadia alliance soon stopped. , and quickly reached an agreement: to send messengers to Sparta to congratulate the ally Dionia and to learn about its disposal of Sparta.
In Thessaly, northern Greece, Jason declared in Pharsalus: As a member of the Greek city-state, the Thessaly will never sit back and watch aliens invade the land of Greece and bully their fellow Greeks! He, Tagus of Thessaly, will lead all the warriors of Thessaly, drive away the invaders, and help the compatriots to the south reclaim their homes! "
After he issued the military mobilization, the races from the city-states in Thessaly and the surrounding mountainous areas sent troops to gather in Pharsalus...

In the territory of Persia, the entire western Asia Minor (now the Anatolia region of Turkey) is divided into several regions. Phrygia is one of them. It rose into a kingdom hundreds of years ago. It used to be in Asia Minor. Influence and territory are enough to rival the Hittite Empire. Even now it has become a part of the Persian territory, it still retains its unique culture and some special rights.
Today's Phrygia is completely located in the center of the western part of Asia Minor and is not close to the sea at all. However, when Phanabaszos served as the governor of Phrygia, with his prestige, he once rented the seaside town of Ass in the Pisidia area to the south.
