Chapter 117 Thunderbolt Means

At the start of the war, Castellon offered to send troops to participate in the battle, but was politely rejected by the Dionysian Senate, because Dionia's troops were strong enough and Castellon's soldiers were too few, instead they would Affects the overall unified command of the army, so only Castellon's warships and rations are accepted. Dionia, who is now stretched thin, has to turn to Castro for help. No matter how small a mosquito's leg is, it is still meat.

"If the Syracuses hadn't landed in full to attack us, we would have had enough troops in Turii." Capps reassured them: "There are still 500 cavalry in Turii, and Sekelian's The naval fleet is temporarily unable to go out, and some sailors can be dispatched to serve as light infantry. Of course, it is better to be able to get some heavy infantry from Castellon City to enrich the army!  …”

Kunogolata stepped forward, bowed solemnly to Caps, and said solemnly, "Lord Caps, the safety of Turii will be handed over to you."

As soon as Kunogolata finished speaking, Cornelus and the other elders also wanted to salute Caps. This was the first time that the traditional city-state elders had saluted Capus, who was a mercenary. Under pressure, he returned a strong military salute, and then strode out of the venue.

The worried elders look at me, I look at you, and they all look at the empty seat in the front row in the center of the venue together. Before, they were still a little entangled in Davos becoming the king. At this moment, this emotion has disappeared without a trace, and there is only one thought in their hearts: Davos, when will you come back to save Dionia? !

…………………………

Syracuse Admiral Leputines had no plans to land on the coast of Turii and attack the city of Turii. He knew very well that Turri was not Trina, it had enough manpower, and he alone It is impossible for these simple-equipped sailors to take down this large and heavily fortified city. He also did not intend to send warships into the Krati River, because the Syracuses did not occupy one side of the river in Krati, and the city of Turii had iron chains. If his warships were blocked, they would be trapped. In the river, it is easy to be attacked by enemy rockets and burn to ashes...

Of course Leputines was reluctant to put his warships and sailors with rich sailing experience in such a dangerous situation. He only sent a very small number of sailors to attack the outskirts of Turii in order to force him to hide in the Krati River. The Dionian fleet came out for a decisive battle.

Compared to Leptines' prudence, Syracuse's mercenary cavalry acted very arrogantly and had no taboos. Although Crimesa had called on the people to hide in the city because of the persecution of the enemy army, there were still a few who failed to move into the city in time and were slaughtered by alien cavalry, especially the Celts who used spears to pick them up. The heads of the Dionysian people, including women and children, passed by the city of Crimea flamboyantly, making the soldiers of the Sixth Legion stationed at the head of the city angry, but they were unable to attack due to military orders...

The chief executive of Crimea, Protesilaus, was fidgeting in the city hall,

When he saw Olivers, the commander of the Sixth Army Corps, come in, he quickly greeted him: "Lord Olivers, you are back!"

Olivers, who had just finished inspecting the defense of the port, saw the anxiety on Protsylaus' face, and couldn't help but pretend to laugh at ease: "Is the enemy attacking us?" Of course this is impossible. will not know.

"What's the matter, you still have the heart to joke!" Protsylaus said anxiously.

"What happened?!" Olivers restrained his smile and asked seriously.

"The family members of the people you detained came to the city hall to make trouble again. This time they gathered hundreds of people and threatened to say, 'If their relatives are not released, they will set up tents in front of the city hall. Live for a long time!'" Mr. Plotsy said with a worried face, if he was disturbed by the people like this, he would be disgraced as a chief executive and would become a big joke for the entire senate in the future.

"They dare!" Olivers sneered, knowing that when he led the Sixth Army to Crimea before, he was blocked by a group of protesters outside the city gate. It was he who attacked the army and conspired to rebel. Detained, the army was able to enter the city.

In the past few days, he has been busy arranging the defense of the whole city, and some rumors began to circulate in the city: "So many soldiers of the Sixth Army are stationed in the city, it will only consume our little stock of food and water, and wait until Syracuse. When people were besieging the city, the first to starve to death were our Crimeans..."

"Now the Syracuses are burning our fields outside the city and slaughtering our relatives. The soldiers of the 6th Legion should go out of the city to drive them away and protect our relatives and property, not hide in the city as cowardly as mice …”

...

Olivers ignored these rumors and followed the established steps to improve the city defense. He remained calm when he heard that the families of the detainees had gathered in front of the city hall today, because after he entered the city, the intelligence services of Aristillas had been placed in Crimea. After finding him quietly, he knew that during this period of time, the spies of Syracuse frequently came and went in and out of Crimea and colluded with some citizens of Crimea, which made the situation in the city so chaotic.

At this moment, he said in a deep voice: "Lord Protesilaus, the woman who assassinated Lord Davos was from Crimissa. Lord Davos was kind, and for the stability of the alliance, there was no further expansion of the investigation. But today it seems that , The problem in Crimea is very serious. Even if military control is adopted, the situation in the city is still chaotic these days. I am afraid that some of the spies of Syracuse are inciting trouble. If we do not take severe measures, once the enemy attacks in large numbers, we will Defending at the top of the city, but there is trouble in the city, the city is in danger!"

Protsilaus' face changed suddenly and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Of course he is to be found out, and all those who cooperate with the enemy and troublemakers will be tried and executed!" Olivers' face was murderous, his palm was like a blade, and he swung down hard.

Protesilaus was shocked and became hesitant again: "It's too harsh to do this, they are all Union citizens!"

Olivers glanced at him with some contempt in his heart: this young Amendolara elder always supported Davos when he was in the Senate, and he was quite positive in his speeches. But when it comes to taking charge of political affairs alone, he seems to be looking ahead and hesitating. So when Scomblas was the chief executive of Crimesa, the political situation here was relatively stable; when it was his turn, not only did the assassination happen, but the situation was almost out of control...

"Mr. Plotsy, you should know that you have served as a judge. Our "Dionysian Military Law" stipulates that 'those who escape seriously and rebels beheaded.' And the "Dionysian Law" also stipulates, ' The highest punishment for traitors is the death penalty. 'This is a time of war, shouldn't these people who collude with our enemies, attempt to undermine our defense of Crimea or even betray the alliance, deserve the death penalty!" Olivers shouted sharply.

Mr. Plotsy pondered for a while, and said reluctantly: "Okay, I agree with you. However, I hope you can show the people hard evidence before you can execute them."

It's not easy. Olivers thought to himself, he immediately agreed, and after leaving the city hall, he quickly called in the personnel of the intelligence department. After their identification, he led the soldiers to search more than a dozen suspicious people (all citizens of the original Crimea). ), found a large number of four drachma silver coins, letters, and even caught two Syracuse spies hiding in their home.

Protesilus was speechless.

Olivers confronted the entire city on the square, showing evidence of collaborating with the enemy, beheading them on the spot, and arresting and detaining the troubled family members. The people, under the command of Olivers, began to throw themselves into the defense of the city...

………………………………

Ribazzo, the slave master of the Davos mansion, used to be in the front yard, showing his difference in identity and demeanor from ordinary slaves with a leisurely pace, but today his legs are like wheels It turned quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he ran across the front yard from the gate and came to the front of the back yard.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..." He couldn't hold back his excitement and knocked on the door.

The door was abruptly opened, and Asuna, who was watering the flowers, was holding a two-eared pottery bottle full of water in one hand and pulling the door in the other. When she saw it was Ribazzo, she had a bad face, and her eyebrows stood up. He scolded rudely: "Uncle Ribazzo, you are still a supervisor! Don't you know that your wife needs a good rest during the time when she just gave birth! You knocked on the door so loudly that people on the whole hill could hear it! If you wake up little Eunice and cry, and the lady will blame it, I'll see what you will do!"

"I'm sorry, Azuna, I'm so excited! Because...because of Lord Davos...our master is going to be king!" Ribazzo said excitedly.

"Really?!" Asuna covered her face with her hands in surprise. The pottery bottle fell to the ground and smashed into pieces without her noticing.

"What the elders announced to more than a thousand people in the square can still be false!" As soon as Ribazzo finished speaking, Asuna shouted and jumped, and ran to the back like a lunatic with joy.

"Young people are really not stable enough!" Ribazzo muttered a few words, bent down and picked up the fragments of the pottery bottle, showing a look of regret: "It's a pity, the fine Athenian pottery bottle."

Asuna pushed open the bedroom door, and heard Agnes' voice: "Asuna, Eunice is still sleeping, you are too loud!" Agnes has always been gentle to others, speaking in such a tone, It has been said that she is angry.
