Speaking of this, Leotichides sneered: "Perhaps in the Arcadian's eyes, no matter how fierce the Spartans are, he is also his own family; regardless of what Dionia said , What did they do, but they are foreigners. They will be wary of Sparta, but they are even more worried about the true intentions of our Dionians suddenly breaking into the Peloponnese..."

Clotokatax pondered for a while, and then asked uncertainly: "General, do you think that when the Spartans take the initiative to seek peace, the Arcadians will reunite with the Spartans? , Against us?"

"This is a speculation of mine, otherwise it won’t pass for several days. The Arcadians still haven’t sent envoys... However, the situation in Peloponnese is already very complicated, so I left again. Having been here for decades, I don’t know much about the current Arcadian region, and the judgments made may not be accurate. It is also possible that the Arcadian people are willing to cooperate with us, hoping that we can help them get rid of Sparta completely. "Leotichides said cautiously.

Klotokatax became a little worried: "What if the Arcadians really reconcile with Sparta and disagree with our troops passing through their territory?"

"It's very simple. Just ignore them and just lead the army to pass through. With such a powerful army, they dare not stop it."

Leotichides’s answer was hard, but Croto Kataks frowned: "But this will arouse the dissatisfaction of the Arcadians."

"We, as outsiders, forcibly invaded the Peloponnese Peninsula, which has long aroused the suspicion and dissatisfaction of these conservative Peloponnese people. But as long as we completely defeated Sparta and other Peloponnese Even if the city-state is no longer dissatisfied, it will be overwhelmed by our strength." Leotichides's plain tone was full of disdain.

Crotto Catax did not agree too much with what Leotichides said, but he did not object to it, but continued to listen carefully.

"Even though Sparta may be reinforced by the Persians, it is relatively easy for our existing forces to defeat it head-on, not to mention your highness you have brought a multi-legion—" Leotitch Des asked bluntly: "Is so much force just to deal with a Spartan whose strength has been greatly declining?"

Clotokatax hesitated for a moment, and quietly glanced at Plintors next to him, and Plintors nodded slightly.

So Croto Katakstan said sincerely: "The defeat of Sparta is only our initial goal. Your Majesty hopes that we can use this victory to unite the Greek city-states, dominate the political situation in Greece, and squeeze out the Persians. , Making Greece truly a powerful barrier to the kingdom!"

Klotokatax's words were expected by Leotichides, and he said with a serious expression: "It is not so easy for the kingdom to replace Sparta as the lord of Greece. Greece. These powerful states will not succumb easily, especially Athens. The Athenians, like the Spartans, regard Greece as their own and will not allow foreign forces to compete. Therefore, in order to complete the tasks assigned by your majesty, you must first Athens succumbed.

Besides, be careful of Thebans. Although they are our allies, they do not necessarily support us in taking control of Greece... In short, Athens, Thebes, Argos, Corinth... and so on, including Ellis, don’t trust them too much. Your Highness is the only one who can What you believe is that this powerful army led by you, as long as you fight a few more victories, your goal will eventually be achieved. "

Clotokatax fell into deep thought for a long time, then solemnly nodded: "Thank you for your reminder, General, I will keep it in my heart!"

"Before I leave, I hope your Highness can promise me a request."

"Please tell me."

"My eldest son Tertotis is 17 years old this year and he is a minor. This time he came to Messenia as my personal soldier. I originally planned to take him to the territory of Sparta. I go...but I can’t do it now.” Leotichides’ face has a rare trace of regret: “But after he learned of his life, he now doesn’t want to leave with me, insisting on seeing it with his own eyes. When I saw his so-called motherland...so I hope your Highness can keep him and satisfy him——"

"It's no problem. He can stay as my personal soldier and join me in Sparta in the future." Croto Kataks agreed.

Sent Leotichides away, Cloto Kataks looked at the chief of staff: "Master Printoles, what do you think of what General Proseus said?"

"His Royal Highness." Plintors said earnestly: "General Proseus not only has a strong commanding ability, but also has excellent political abilities, whether it was to quell the Western Kyle or conquer Yamauchi Gao. After Lu's series of arrangements for the disposal of the conquered land, he quickly stabilized the situation and was compatible with the laws of the kingdom... In addition, he himself grew up here and has a deeper understanding of the Greek mainland than we do, he said The words should arouse our attention! As he said, since we have no foundation in the Greek mainland, if we want to dominate the situation in Greece, I am afraid that we have to make more military fuss."

Clotokatax thoughtfully.

In the evening, Adoris came to the camp tent.

Clotokatax came out to greet him personally.

However, when Adoris saw him, he immediately paid a military salute: "Adoris, the captain of the 3rd Battalion of the First Army, paid a visit to the commander!"

Clotokatax said quickly: "Brother, just the two of us, don't tease me!"

"The army of the kingdom pays more attention to discipline. If I see commanders who are casual, I will be ridiculed by my colleagues and soldiers tomorrow, and even impeachment by military judges!" Alris said sternly: As a commander, you must have the majesty of a commander! "

Clotokataks blushed for a while, and hurriedly solemnly returned to the Israeli military salute.

It wasn't until entering the big battle that Adoris relaxed slightly. He looked at the empty military account and saw the banquet placed in the middle, and said: "Crotto, you let me come to the banquet? "

"I have been in Rome a few years ago, and our brothers haven't seen each other for a long time! Today we have a good gathering!" Croto Catacs said emotionally.

"Parties are okay, but first say that you can't drink." Adoris reminded.

"Don't worry, as a commander, I won't take the lead in making mistakes." Croto Kataks smiled and greeted Adoris sitting at the dining table.

"I really didn't expect Croto to become the new commander! I have been in the army for so many years, and I have not yet become the commander of the legion!" After sitting down, Adoris let out a sigh.

"I didn't expect that I would become a commander!" Croto Kataks responded with some embarrassment: "Perhaps my father has his consideration... Anyway, it is Plintor who actually made the plan and gave the order. Chief of Staff and several army commanders, so don’t worry about it..."

"Crotto!" Adoris looked at him and said angrily: "Since you are already a commander, then you have to assume the responsibility of a commander. The lives of thousands of soldiers are in your hands. , It’s not a trivial thing, you have to bring your spirits up, seriously consider their suggestions, and carefully issue correct orders, so as to live up to your father’s expectations!"

"Big brother is right!" Cloto Kataks quickly admitted his mistake: "I will try my best to be an army commander, but I hope to get your support from my eldest brother!"

"Of course I will support you!" Adoris answered without hesitation: "As long as you don't mess around, I will mobilize all the soldiers of the First Army to support you!"

"Thank you, brother!" Cloto Kataks scooped a bowl of chicken soup for Adoris, and then asked: "How is the situation when General Ktisus becomes the commander of the First Corps?"

"The candidate appointed by the Ministry of Military Affairs is the right choice!" Adoris took a sip of the soup and said with a little excitement: "Two hours ago, Kitisus went to the station of our First Corps and summoned the company captain. Ranked team officers had a meeting, and it turned out to be a lively scene! Did you know that more than half of the 8 captains and 40 company captains were his soldiers at the time, and all of them surrounded him and called the elder officers...just This is the first time we have met, and the First Legion has already been controlled by Cettisus."

Klotokatax saw him showing a look of envy, and after thinking about it, he asked, "How is the morale of the soldiers now?"

"Very good...not so good." Adoris gave this contradictory answer, and then explained: "The soldiers of the First Legion are very eager to compete with the Spartans. , Which proved that our First Army was the strongest fighter in the Mediterranean. But when they landed in Messenia, the Spartans retreated. This disappointed the soldiers. They were eager to invade the Spartan territory and conquer that. The city-state that has dominated Greece for decades, but now it has stayed in Messenia, helping the Messenians build cities and houses...Although they have received the gratitude of the Messenians, the soldiers still have problems in their hearts. Small complain..."

"I believe it won't be long before their wish will come true." Cloto Kataks said, remembering something, and took out a few letters from his arms: "This is my sister-in-law and sister (Cynthia) A letter written to you. During this time, they went to the main temple of Hades to pray every day, hoping that Hades would protect you from returning safely."

Adoris didn’t read the letter, he thrust it into his arms, and said sternly, “Crotto, I have to remind you of one thing, you can’t just give it to me just because I’m your brother. Dispatch important military missions, and not even let me lead the company on the battlefield... If you want to do that, I will not recognize you as a brother!"
