Chapter 180 Delphi Surrenders

"I promised those big men to send you safely to the island of Delos. Although I, Stolus, always keep my word, don't make trouble for me, or else I'll be annoyed and I'll send you to the sea to feed you. Fish!" The boat owner said viciously while paddling.

"I don't like someone pointing at me!" The man suddenly snapped: "Tell you, I won't go back to lying in that smelly canopy again! If you're not happy, you can kill me now. Push into the sea."

The man spoke with a sense of majesty, and the owner of the boat didn't dare to make contact with his sharp eyes.

After a while, he saw the man staring at the coast motionless, and he couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked, "Hey, who are you? Why are Callistratus and Iffi? Kratus...these generals came to the dock to see you off?!"

"Because... I am their creditor!" The man said angrily, and then said meaningfully: "It is also because I am Dionia's mortal enemy!"

It was, because the man was Jason. After he escaped into the city of Athens, the generals of Athens treated him with courtesy, invited the best doctor to treat him, and set aside a luxurious mansion for him to recuperate, but he hoped that he could take command of the mercenaries Temporarily handed over to the General's Executive Committee.

Under the low eaves, people had to bow their heads. Jason, who was like a lost dog, could only agree. As a result, these nearly 8,000 mercenaries became the main force to resist the attack of the Dionysian army, and suffered heavy losses. It was an elite unit that Jason spent years of hard work and countless money training, and was very loyal to Jason.

But when Jason learned of the result, he didn't show any complaints. Instead, the Athens executives were a little embarrassed. So when Athens decided to surrender to Dionysus, Callistratus talked to Jason in earnest. He talked about it, and made it clear that he was willing to take the risk and help Jason escape from Athens, because once Athens surrendered Dionia, the Dionias are likely to ask for the Thessalitagus.

Whether the Athenians wanted to cause a little trouble to the Dionysians out of guilt or unwillingness, Jason knew he had no other choice.

At this moment, Jason stared blankly at the coast that was constantly beaten by the waves, remembering that his life's efforts were destroyed in one fell swoop, and he was even forced to stay away from his homeland. He felt extremely annoyed and remorseful, and couldn't help but want to go crazy. He knelt down suddenly, grabbed the side of the boat with both hands, and put his head directly into the sea...

The boat owner was startled, hurriedly dropped the oars, ran over to try to pull him up, and shouted, "Get up quickly, don't be stupid, don't jump into the sea!"

Jason put his hands up and stood up abruptly. The cold sea water temporarily quenched the anxiety in his heart. He rubbed his hands hard on his head and face,

Then he threw the sea water in his hand towards the owner of the boat.

Seeing the boat owner dodging, he laughed, then looked up at the slowly rising sun, and said viciously, "Row the boat quickly, I'm going to the east!"

The surrender of Athens was like toppling the dominoes, so that all the Greek city-states who were still watching were no longer lucky. Elis, Phokis, Locris, the city-states of Arcadia, and the Ionian city-states that originally belonged to the Athenian Maritime Alliance... all sent messengers to the Dionian barracks in Attica, to the Clotokatax expressed goodwill and offered to join the New Greek League.

Under such a trend, the city-states of Achaia, Euboea, and even Crete, which have remained neutral since the beginning of the war (Crete was forced by the 2nd Fleet of Dioria, under the orders of the Ministry of War) Under the command of the Second Fleet, Midorades sailed around Crete every day)...and they all made gestures that they were willing to make Dionia the leader of the alliance.

In this way, Delphi, who has been silent all the time, is particularly eye-catching. Many people speculate that Delphi, the holy place in the entire Greek world, may have to fight to the end against Dionia, who believes in heresy.

But in fact, the priests of Delphi had already panicked, because there were rumors that Dionia was going to send an army to destroy Delphi and take all the gold and silver of the holy treasury.

So when they received the definite news that the Dionysian prince Clotokatax, under the escort of the army, was going to visit Delphi, all the priests and people of Delphi felt that great trouble was coming, and some Some have packed their packages and are ready to flee to other places, and some have made up their minds to sacrifice their lives to protect the Temple of Apollo...

The eyes of all the native Greek city-states were focused on Clotokatax, and they were all worried.

After the distinguished Prince Dionysus entered Delphi, although he violated the tradition of Delphi because of security issues, he led the palace guards up the mountain and entered the temple, but he did not meet the priests. With a pleasant face, not only did he solemnly worship Apollo, but he also offered to build a holy treasury in Delphi to store the gold and silver donated by Dionia.

The Delphi priests temporarily put their guard down and began to negotiate with Clotokatax.

Clotokatax made a promise to the priests: Delphi's status among the native Greek people will not change after Dionysius becomes the leader of the new Greek alliance! And the Dionysian Holy Kingdom will not only guarantee Delphi's status as "the most sacred oracle" in the Greek world, but also make it the greatest oracle of the entire Dionysian Holy Kingdom, and in the future Dionys The territories conquered and controlled by Ya will carry out this promise too!

This big pie that suddenly fell from the sky made the Delphi priests ecstatic. It must be known that since the rise of the kingdom of Dionia, fewer and fewer city-states and people came to Delphi to worship and seek oracles. Today, Delphi's sacred status among the Greek people has not been as good as before, and this promise made by Dionysus can not only restore Delphi to its former glory, but also make Delphi's former glory by virtue of Dionia's strong strength. Fiji's influence went beyond the Greek world and extended to the vast Mediterranean.

Just when the priests were overwhelmed with joy, Clotokatax made a request: but Delphi must approve the content of the Tome of Hades promulgated by the main temple of Hades in Dionia, Acknowledging Hades as the head of the Greek gods and nominally under the jurisdiction of the main temple of Hades.

The priests were stunned, but on the one hand, the Dionysian army sharpening their knives on the territory, on the other hand, had a brighter future, and Delphi had no more choices.

The priests accepted the demands made by Clotokatax, and soon they got into action, they performed a great sacrificial ceremony in which all the Delphic were asked to participate, and then Clotokatax In front of everyone, he asked the temple of Apollo for an oracle.

The old Pythia danced for a long time in the sulphur-scented oracle, almost fainting, and came out and declared in public: She saw the great Apollo driving a golden chariot, leaping out of the mountains to the west, and sitting in the chariot. With the black-haired Hades holding a double fork, he was talking cordially with another young man wearing a crown, and the golden chariot turned into an extremely dazzling white light after rising to a high altitude, illuminating the entire land and ocean...

Everyone present immediately made their own interpretations of this oracle. It didn’t take long for a version of the oracle interpretation that everyone agreed to gradually spread in mainland Greece: “The mountains on the west side” refers to the Italian peninsula and Dionia. Kingdom, because Italy in the west of the Adriatic Sea is indeed a peninsula traversed by the majestic Apennine Mountains, and the native Greek people often ridicule the Dionians as barbarians, and barbarians are often mountain races; "Leaping out of Italy" means Apollo's recognition of the Kingdom of Dionia, not to mention that he is driving for Hades, which is already implying that Apollo has changed its flag and is dominated by Hades; as for the other one in the car The young man was undoubtedly King Dionia, because it had long been widely known in the Western Mediterranean that King Daphus was a descendant of Hades, and Delphi publicly acknowledged this statement on behalf of the Greek mainland; and finally The scene in the picture is a metaphor that the kingdom of Dionia will create unprecedented splendor, and Hades and Apollo will also share the glory...

It can be said that this oracle made by Pythia was very thoughtful, but this oracle set off a spiritual storm in the minds of the native Greeks. In contrast, what Delphi announced next was more acceptable to the people: Delphi recognized the sacred name of the kingdom of Dionia, the unquestioned Greek kingdom, and it would become an important part of the Holy Alliance. and are fully eligible to participate in the Pythian Games.

In any case, Delphi was saved, and it was a happy ending, and the Greek people were relieved. Of course, some city-states will be disappointed and annoyed, but to no avail.

……………………………………………………

Clotocatacs, who had a happy ending at Delphi, didn't take much rest, and went on to declare publicly that he was going to visit Olympia.

It was the Olympians' turn to get nervous.

Unlike Delphi, Olympia was never an independent sanctuary. Without the huge influence of Delphi among the people, it may be because Zeus, the god-king of temperamental, lustful and lustful personality, did not appeal to the Greek people.
