Chapter 244 The Confrontation with the Spartan Messenger (1)

Recalling that when Dionysus was on the last mission to Turii, Dionysus was still in danger under the threat of the army of Dionysius. Unexpectedly, a few months later, the soldiers of Syracuse needed the Dionysian to nod and agree. To be able to go home alive...everything happened so fast it was like a dream.

Kerethorpes cheered up and walked into the city.

In this war, the Silitinians were either killed or sold, and there were not many left, but now there are quite a lot of residents in the city, not only the second, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh The soldiers of the Legion, as well as the troops led by Hiros and Hieronymus, who had conquered Lokri and his allies, also returned to Cilidia.

It stands to reason that the prisoners of Syracuse are being sent back in batches, and Dionia's legionary troops should also be disbanded and go home in batches to ease the pressure on logistical supplies and at the same time ease the shortage of labor in the alliance. But Davos considered that the Great Greek War had just ended, and the city-states who surrendered were not attached to the hearts of the people, so he was afraid of repeating himself, so he gathered a lot of troops in the Siliting, thinking of the role of shocking Xiaoxiao, so as to smoothly implement a series of governance implemented by Dionia. Greater Greece Program.

In addition, there is a special group in the city, that is, the nearly 1,000 engineers and craftsmen groups in the Syracuse army. Davos has been waiting for them for a long time, so he just waited for the Syracuse army. Surrender, he immediately ordered these people to be protected, and he did not hesitate to break his promise. In the negotiation with Ferrosanus, he did not count these people in the ranks of release, and he also forced Ferrosanus to agree to Their request was fulfilled: their families would be delivered by Dionia's fleet.

Davers also made various promises to these people, such as citizenship, land, a good research environment, etc., and finally managed to "retain" these people.

The Dionian soldiers wandered and chatted on the streets in twos and threes, with a relaxed expression on their faces. Even when they saw Kerethorpes, they just glanced at them curiously, and there was no patrol captain who stepped forward to lead the way. The questioning did not reveal the slightest reverence, just like seeing an ordinary person. Although Kerethorps's dress is so distinctive: scarlet cloak, long hair, thick beard, only Sparta in all of Greece.

The Dionian soldiers were far more composed than when Kerethorpes traveled to Turii a few months earlier.

Kerisopes couldn't help but think: perhaps because of their victory over the mighty Syracuse, Dionysus had become the Greek overlord of the Western Mediterranean, so that there were no more Greek city-states to fear from them...

Thinking of this, Chrysopus felt that this was the meaning of the Spartan Council of Elders' eagerness to send him to Dionia again, and he felt that he had a great responsibility.

The Dionysian soldiers were more likely to gather in the arena to participate in or watch the rugby matches of the various regiments organized by the senior team officers. But didn't have time to watch.

He was soon taken to the town hall,

But was informed: King Davos was receiving visitors in the living room, and asked him to wait in the side room.

This wait is more than ten minutes. If it is other Spartan messengers, I am afraid they will be angry long ago, and they will think this is an insult to Sparta. Clethorpes was able to restrain himself, because he did see the visitors, indicating that the Dionysians were not lying, not trying to make things difficult, but not like other Greek city-states who regarded the Spartan messengers as the most important thing. That's it. In this regard, Kerisopes can only bear it. After all, this is not mainland Greece, not Ionia, not Asia Minor, but Greater Greece, where Sparta has a weak influence, and it has never been afraid of Sparta. Dionia!

"Kerry Thorpes, it's a pleasure to see you again!" Davers showed enthusiasm after seeing him, and also said specifically: "I'm so sorry for making you wait for a long time just now! Several Cullens came here before. General Nia, it took me a lot of time."

Colonia? ! Kerisopes thought: It was the city-state of the South Italian Alliance. First, it betrayed Dionysus and went to Syracuse. Later, after Syracuse was defeated, it returned to Dionia...

After almost all of Great Greece was conquered by Dionysus, Clethops could think of why this discredited city-state sent messengers here, and he calmed down and said, "Davos, congratulations on your defeat. Dionysius, has won this war!"

"Sparta sent you just to congratulate me?" Davos had a smile on his face, but his words went straight to the point.

"You have defeated Sparta's ally Syracuse, and also sent troops to land in Sicily, occupying some of the Greek city-states in Sicily... The Spartan Council of Elders felt the aggression displayed by Dionia Pay attention, send me to Davos...King, do you understand that Dionia is hostile to Sparta?!" Kerethorpes stared at Davos and said the last sentence in a deep voice.

Kerisopes' words made Davos' expression become serious, and he said seriously: "I have already told you Phoebedas who helped Dionysius invade my great Greece before, as long as Sba Da had no ill will towards Dionia, and Dionia had no ill will towards Sparta, and I had no interest in the land beyond the Adriatic."

"Sparta certainly has no hostility to Dionysius!" Kerethorpes immediately made a solemn statement: "Sparta helped Syracuse because we have a covenant with Dionysius, this covenant. At the time of its establishment, there was no Dionian League in Greater Greece, and we had to act according to the oath of Hercules, but from now on it will not happen again!"

Davos immediately tasted what Kerethorpes said, and raised his eyebrows: "Sparta gave up Dionysius?"

Kerethorpes did not answer directly, but suggested: "Davers, since neither of us is hostile, you should see whether we should enter into an agreement to avoid the two of Sparta and Dionia. Powerful city-states and city-state alliances are drawn into meaningless wars because of unnecessary friction and conflict."

Rarely when Davos received the guests, Henepolis, who did not interrupt, looked at Kerethorpes at the moment, and looked at Davos again, with an excited expression: Sparta recognized Dionia and it. Have an equal status and take the initiative to seek a peace agreement with Dionia? ! !

Davos still looked calm, he didn't consider this so-called glory at all, but continued to ask: "What kind of agreement?"

It was always other Greek city-states who went to Sparta to beg for agreements and covenants. The elders of Sparta put forward various harsh conditions according to the situation to obtain benefits for Sparta. To seek agreements like today, they had to be forced to first. Showing his cards is a bit unaccustomed to Kerethorpes, but the bad situation Sparta is facing now forces him to bow his head. Sign a long-term peace agreement with Dionia, both sides will maintain peace, not aggress each other, and will not participate in the hostile actions of other city-states against each other!" At this point, Clethorpes paused.

Davos understood that the reason why Sparta made this proposal was that he was worried that Dionia would join the anti-Spartan alliance. It seemed that the situation in Sparta was not very good.

Seeing that Davos's expression remained unchanged, Kerisopes couldn't guess what he was thinking. He took a deep breath and continued to say the conditions set out by the council of elders: "At the same time, Sparta will force Syracuse to accept it. Armistice and make war reparations to Dionysus, and hope that Dionysus will not push Syracuse and its allies too much, and stop further encroaching on the interests of Syracuse. After all, Sparta is still Syracuse. Allies of ours, who have been friendly for decades..." Kerethorpes said here, and looked at Davos again.

Davos still couldn't see the anger and anger on his face, but Henepolis, the secretary next to him, couldn't help but said: "Syracuse has signed a peace treaty with us, Sparta... What rights does Sparta have? Come and interfere with our Dionia's handling of the aftermath of this war!"

Kerisopes ignored Henepolis, and saw that Davos was still silent, he continued: "In addition, this time Tarantum was instigated by Syracuse to wage war against Dionia. , they have been punished by the gods, now the aliens are besieging this great city-state, and the lands of the Greeks are being taken by aliens! Tarantum has recognized his earlier mistakes and is willing to tell Theo Nia pays a lot of war reparations in order to get your forgiveness. As the mother state of Tarantum, Sparta must protect the city of Sparta, which is connected to our blood, and I hope Dionia can release Tarantum Mu's captive, so that Tarantum has the ability to resist the attack of the aliens and become a barrier to the east of Greater Greece!"

"At this time, the Spartans are concerned about the safety of Great Greece!" Henepolis sneered angrily: "When Dionysius led his army to invade Great Greece, burned, looted, and even slaughtered the people of Silesia , why didn't you Spartans come out to dissuade you! Tarantum tore up the covenant and suddenly attacked the land of Dionia, where are you!"

Kelishorpes seemed to have never heard of these words, and only said to Davos: "These are the terms of the peace negotiation drawn up by the Spartan Council of Elders after many discussions. The specific details still need to be discussed with King Davos, you. further negotiations."

"This is the sincerity of Sparta's negotiation. There is no need to talk about it any more." Davos's calm tone was like the sea before the storm. : "Krishorpes, you and I were comrades in Persia, and we were born and died together. If you come to visit me in a private capacity today, I will treat you with kindness! But as a Spartan messenger, I can only say sorry!"
