Of course, Dionysius would not dampen the morale of his men for a Spartan, as long as he knew how to deal with the infantry of the Dionian Legion next time, so he smiled and said: "Of course After the fiasco of this battle, it is difficult to say whether the Dionians have a chance to fight with us again."

It was Phoebeidas’s turn to be puzzled. He asked directly: “Why do you say that? The Dionians did not have any major casualties, and with the strength of the city-state alliance, they can completely reorganize. An army that is not weaker than Syracuse."

Dionysius smiled: "Phoebe Das, you are indeed very talented in the military, but if you want to defeat and destroy a country, you can't do it only by fighting."

He raised his head, his sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the big tent, and saw the Archon of Dionia who was trekking in the Lucania area... With a mocking sneer on his face, he said proudly:" The invasion of the Samoneites was enough to make Dionia a headache, but today’s victory in this battle must have a huge impact on Great Greece! And Dionia’s troubles have just begun. Nia can’t get out of trouble and can’t concentrate all of its forces to stop us. What we need to do now is to quickly conquer the other city-states of the Southern Italian League, invade Dionia, make its people panic, and let it be attached. The city is shaken by anxiety..." Dionysius said categorically: "Finally, easily conquer-conquer-it!"

"My lord is right! Conquer Great Greece as soon as possible, and we can go home soon!" Fascipesas echoed loudly.

"Let us toast to the early conquest of Great Greece!" The usually low-key Leptinius became a little excited because of Dionysius' encouragement.

"We should kill more Greeks and **** more trophies!" Axirita said with a grinning face with a big grin. He didn't have much interest in conquering Great Greece. After all, no matter how much land was occupied, he would not give it to his tribe. What he needed was more food, money, and even slaves to grow his tribe.

The Celtic leader Gaba shared the same thoughts.

When everyone else picked up the glass and Phoebedas barely stood up, he was not sure: if Syracuse easily defeated Dionia, would it be good or bad for Spartan?

The celebration in the Great Tent did not last long, because the Envoy of Xiliting came.

During the battle, the citizen soldiers in Xiliting suffered heavy losses, and now they are sending envoys late at night. The purpose can be imagined.

Dionysius deliberately did not appear for a long time, making the neglected messenger restless. As soon as Dionysius appeared, he immediately asked the Sicilian tyrant to surrender Siracusa.

Dionysius had planned this for a long time, he deliberately dismissed it, and angrily stated to the messenger: Siracusa has always been actively fighting against Syracuse and his ally Bonlocki, and now he has suffered The miserable defeat and the thought of surrendering when the city is about to be captured are not out of sincerity. Xiliting must pay the price for his previous mistakes in order to make him feel the sincerity of the Xiliting people.

This messenger was obviously not as young and arrogant as the messenger who had come to write the battle book before, so he immediately pleaded in a low voice.

Dionysius said with a slight look: In order for Syracuse to accept Siritian’s surrender, one thousand sheep, fifty cows, and 30,000 catties of grain must be delivered to Tin tomorrow morning. Siracusa will accept Siritian’s request for a truce.

When the envoy of Siriting heard this, he immediately wailed: The amount of materials requested by Dionysius is huge, and Siriting can't get all the materials in half a day, hoping to halve the number.

Dionysius said coldly: This is the time to show Siriting's sincerity. These materials will not be delivered to the barracks tomorrow morning, and Syracuse will launch an attack on Siriting in the afternoon!

The Siritian messenger hurried back to the city and informed the council of Dionysius' tough request.

Form is better than people! Facing the pressure of the army, the high-level Siriting decided to agree to Dionysius’ terms after a fierce debate, and once again sent several generals headed by Pretinius to the Siracusa camp for negotiations to determine what would happen after Siriting’s surrender. Treatment issues.

Dionysius made some concessions, and soon the two sides signed an agreement and each swears to the gods.

Pretinis and the others were temporarily relieved, and hurried back to the city to prepare supplies. It's not that Xiliting can't bring out these materials, but after handing over these things, the Xiliting people will have a harder life in the second half of the year, but no matter how difficult it is, it is better than being destroyed by the Syracuse. Trinity surrendered and joined Syracuse’s army and fought against his former allies. Dionysius also gave Siritim some conditions to win, which made Pretinis very tempted. The eastern part of the Mia Plain is allocated to Xiliting...

In this battle, Syracuse won by an absolute advantage, which made the panicked Siritico feel that the future of the Southern Italy League headed by Dionia was slim, and it was the first to vote for Syracuse. As for the city-states of the Southern Italian League, Siriting will also gain a lot of benefits.

So this day, from the afternoon to the evening, the entire Xiliting City is busy...

In the early morning of the next day, the Xiliting people drove herds of cattle and sheep, and the trucks full of grain, out of the city in an endless stream. Of course, they were accompanied by several generals and entourages such as Pretinis. It was to discuss with Dionysius about sending troops to the war and other matters.

When the long line was only halfway out of the city, a large number of cavalry appeared in the empty fields outside the city, and they venomously killed the unarmed team.

This sudden blow caused the Silitian people to panic and run desperately. Numerous cattle, sheep, and trucks were blocked at the gate of the city, making the gate unable to be closed and the suspension bridge unable to be pulled up.

"Dionysius lied to us! He wants to seize our city!!" Pretinius realized at this moment, it was too late.

The front is dusty, footsteps rumbling, Siracusa’s troops are quickly approaching the wall...

"Dionysius, you violated your oath and deceived the gods. I curse you for being gouged and heartbroken and cut off!..." Pretinius was stabbed in the chest with a javelin by the Numibian cavalry. After falling off the horse, he turned his hatred into this vicious curse before he died.

The army of Syracuse easily broke through the defenseless city of Siritín, and this army of citizens, mercenaries and aliens from the Greek city-state of Sicily did not stop there...

The Xiliting people panicked and wanted to escape from the occupied city, but the port was full of Siracusa's fleet, and there were countless alien cavalry cruising outside the city. They had nowhere to escape...

As a result, the atrocities once perpetrated by the Syracuses in the Sicilian city-states such as Katana and Naxos are now staged in the Siritian of Great Greece-the massacre.

Dionysius did not stop his soldiers, even indulged them. This army, which has been looting due to his long-term deliberate indulgence, was severely controlled by him some time ago. After continuous rapid marches and battles, it needs a release...Of course, this is only one of the minorities. reason.

More importantly, he lacks money! Serious lack of money! Even paying mercenaries’ salaries after three months is a bit difficult, and looting is the quickest way to get money.

In addition, he needs to amplify the impact of this battle, and tell the Greeks in a shocking way: against him will be such a tragic end!

Syracuse’s army ransacked the city, and of course most of the looted wealth belonged to Dionysius.

In addition to the countless Siritians killed during the looting, he also decided to capture nearly 70,000 Siritians, including the freed people in the port, all of them were turned into slaves and transported to Syracuse. In the slave market, sell it for money.

Except for a few of them, neither were killed in the looting, nor were they sent away and sold as slaves. Dionysius asked the guard to find them and protect them. They are the Siritian messenger Thalysius and his family who threatened him before.

Dionysius took them to Silitian Square, and in front of tens of thousands of Siritian prisoners, he brutally cut Sarethius and his family with a sharp saber, bruised and bloody.

In the dying curse of Sarisseus, he loudly announced: "Any Greek who insults me and insults Syracuse will end up like this!"

He took the knife and dropped it, cutting off Sarrichus' head.

The tens of thousands of Xiliting people in the audience were silent.

The reason why he didn't destroy Siriting the same way he destroyed Katane is because Siriting's location is more important than Trina. Not only was the city large enough to house his army of more than 70,000 (more than 3,000 people were killed or injured on the side of Syracuse in the battle), but the east coast of Great Greece was the main direction of his attack. He will use Siracusa as an important forward base for Syracuse’s attack on Dionia and Crotone. Syracuse’s army, navy, and especially food and supplies can all be concentrated here. This is the next step to march north. Springboard.

Of course, although Dionysius has no desire to attack for the time being, Dionysius has his own considerations for the high terrain, rugged roads, unfavorable for the march of the army, and the West Coast (referring to the Bruti area).

He found dozens of soldiers from different Bruti tribes and Lukanians from the captives. He met them in a friendly manner and told them through an interpreter: The Syracuses came to Greece, not What came to enslave them was to liberate them from the harsh rule of Dionia and give them the freedom they once enjoyed! Moreover, as long as they are willing to rise up against Dionia and fight for themselves, when the war is over, Syracuse will give them more fertile land, such as the Ophimia Plain and the Subari Plain...
