"Cough cough!" When Adoris said this, Cloto Kataks was drinking soup, and he choked several mouthfuls. He replied a little embarrassed: "Big brother, you too underestimated me. , I am the commander of the army. If I am favoritism to my relatives, how can I command other soldiers to fight to the death! Don’t worry, I won’t do that!"

Adoris looked at him and asked again: "Really?!"

"Really!" Croto Katakstein responded.

"Okay!" Adoris took up the soup bowl in his hand and said with pride: "Take soup as wine, I wish our brothers join forces to make brilliant achievements in Greece!"

Since the new commander of the Dionian army has not arrived, Ipamirunda stayed in Mesenyi for several days. Not only did he not complain, but on the contrary he was very happy because Thebes was Dior. Because of this, Ipamirunda is not blindfolded and restricted from going out like Agsilius. He can wander freely in Messenia except for some sensitive areas. In order to avoid misunderstandings, after obtaining the consent of Leotichides, the staff officer Mukru also assigned him a Dionian team officer as a guide.

During this time, Ipamironda not only carefully understood the entire operation of the new Messenian government from village to town, but also comprehensively observed the daily life of the Dionian army. In the morning, each brigade organized morning exercises, rushed to the construction site during the day to build the city and houses, and in the evening, under the supervision of the team officers, they returned to their military tents to rest...

He not only ran to the pass of Mount Tagettos to watch the Dionian soldiers build guard towers to strengthen the defense against the Spartans; he also ran to the coast and watched the warships of the First Fleet in the United States. Patrolling and training in Senja Bay; he even watched the heavy camp use a number of camel teams to transport food and supplies from the simple port to the camp, cook and distribute food for the soldiers in the camp, and treat the wounded soldiers in medical camps... Except for the engineering camp forbidding him to enter because it involved the production of some military equipment, he almost visited the entire camp.

Until this day, he received a notification from the team leader's guide: The new Commander Dionia wants to see him.

In fact, he already knew about the arrival of the new commander, because that day he rushed to the seaside and witnessed the entire process of another army of Dionia landing on the coast with countless ships and quickly gathering. .

Entering the military tent, Ipamironda nodded with a smile to five or six generals in full uniforms, and finally turned his eyes to the young man sitting in the middle, and then solemnly bowed to salute: "The Envoy of Thebes Ipamirunda pays a visit to Commander Dionia!"

"Sit down, General Ipamirunda!" Cloto Kataks asked the soldiers to bring the wooden chairs that had been prepared, and said very politely: "You are the military commander of the Piorcia Alliance. , And he was the hero who led the Allied forces of Piotr to defeat the Spartans in the Battle of Leuktra. Your visit makes us feel honored!"

Ipamilunda thanked the guards, and after sitting down, he humbled and said: "The victory of Leuktra is indeed a great encouragement to Thebes and the people of Piotsia, but as often A hungry person will feel satisfied as if he eats a full meal, but for people who eat a lot of meals, it’s nothing. Dionia is a person who eats a lot. I Right?!"

Ipamilunda's words made Kitisus, Olivers and others comfortable to hear.

"The general is too humble!" Cloto Catacs said immediately: "When my father talked to me about the situation in Greece a few years ago, he mentioned you, and he said you and Peropidas It is the most important pillar of the rise of Thebes. Facts have proved that his judgment is correct!"

Hearing this, Ipamirunda's heart moved. Of course he knew who the father was talking about. He couldn't help but ask: "I would like to ask His Majesty King Daves the first time he mentioned that I was When?"

Clotokatax thought for a while, and said, "Well...it seems to have been mentioned in a letter to me after the war with Carthage was over...I was in Rome at the time. It’s a town in the northern part of the kingdom."

After the war between Dionia and Carthage...Ipamirunda carefully recalled: It was the most difficult period of Thebes. Faced with the Spartan attack, he was struggling to sustain it. Some members of the Bess government did not have too much hope for the future, while King Dionia, far to the west, firmly believed that Thebes would rise, and he also understood himself who was unknown at the time. It can be seen that Dioni Ya has already paid a lot of attention to Thebes...

Seeing that Ipamironda was silent, Olivers interjected: "His Majesty Daves is a descendant of the **** Hades, who has been blessed by the gods, so he can always make accurate judgments. The hostile forces of Dionia were finally punished for failure!"

"That's right!" Katisus and Taginos immediately agreed.

Worried that the implicit threat in Oliver’s words made Ipamirunda unhappy, Cloto Catacs hurriedly took the conversation and said: "If I had known the general you were here in Messenia, I will definitely come here early, so that you don’t have to wait here for these days."

"It’s okay. Staying here for a few more days, on the contrary, it gave me a deeper understanding of the Dionian army, and it also made me feel deeply why the Dionian army is strong, if you say your army He is an adult, and the armies of the Greek city-states, including us Thebes, are still children!" Ipamirunda said with a serious face.

Clotokataks was taken aback, then smiled: "General Ipamirunda, you are too humble!"

He did not continue to talk deeply about this issue, instead he asked: "Is there anything important for the general to come this time?"

"This time, on behalf of the people of Thebes and Piotsia, I would like to express my gratitude to the allied state Dionia!" Ipamironda looked solemn and said earnestly: "Thebes and Diony Asia has just formed an ally. We did not have much contact in the past. This time the enemy of Thebes is the strongest city-state in Greece. We only expected Dionia to be in the most difficult time of the war. Help us with food and supplies, but what we didn't expect was...you truly fulfilled the covenant, took the initiative to fight against Sparta, and quickly launched an attack against Sparta, as the rumors said' Dionia is a country that keeps its promises'. Thebes is very grateful to be able to form an alliance with Dionia!"

After hearing these words, Croto Catacs was very proud. He tried his best not to show this emotion, but said modestly: "Keeping promises is the principle of the founding of Dionia. When allies face Sending troops to aid in times of crisis is what we should do! It’s just your own efforts that Thebes can get out of the predicament. Offensive becomes easier."

Klotokatax also spoke candidly, but Ipamirunda smiled gratefully and helplessly: "The victory of Leuktra is indeed very important to Thebes, but it is only temporary. Let Thebes get out of the predicament, but put Thebes into greater trouble."

Clotokatax glanced at Printoles, then showed a puzzled look.

Ipamilunda seriously explained: "Athens and our Thebes have been enemies for decades. Because of Sparta, they have formed an alliance with Thebes in these years. It should be said that it has given the Bis was a great help. But as the strength of our Thebes gradually recovered, Athens’ attitude towards us changed. When signing the Kalias contract, I clearly felt that Athens and Sparta had reached an agreement. After the agreement was reached, we squeezed out Thebes together. After the Battle of Leuctra, Athens sent troops to the western border to garrison, obviously showing hostility to us.

Our other ally, Jason of Thessaly, helped us a lot in the previous war against Sparta, but after the Battle of Leuktra, he suddenly sent troops to occupy Hot springs pass and large-scale military mobilization in Thessaly territory, and threatened to send troops to the south, and refused to receive our envoys. The city-states in western Central Greece, including ours, Thebes, are very nervous. Piosha, who is dominated by Bis, Phokes, who is dominated by Delphi, and Locris are already discussing to unite to resist the invasion of the people who come up—"

"Are the Thessari's military strength very strong?" Olivers couldn't help asking. He and Daves were both of the Thessari, but he had been away from Thessari for decades. He doesn’t understand the recent situation. His impression of Thessaly is still in the situation where the city-states fought against each other several decades ago, which led to the weak and frequent bullying by the indigenous people in the surrounding mountainous areas.

"Since Philae’s tyrant Jason became the Tagus of Thessaly, the city-states of Thessaly have been under his control. He can form an army of at least 30,000, and the soldiers The combat effectiveness of the team is not weak, this is a huge threat to us in China and Greece!" Ipamirunda reminded with a heavy tone.

"Thessari actually has Targus!..." Olivers was a little surprised, and the phrase "an army of more than 30,000" also attracted the attention of the other legion commanders.

Clotokatax had been repeatedly instructed by Davers before leaving. Chief of Staff Plintors was able to obtain more information from the Military Department, so the two of them looked calm.

"After the Battle of Leuktra, we Thebes suddenly faced threats from North (Thessaly), East (Athens), and South (Sparta). The situation is quite dangerous! It is precisely because You Dionians generously sent troops and reinforcements to restore Messenia, restrained the attention of the Spartans and Persians, and temporarily relieved Thebes from the greatest danger. We are grateful for that! Of course I also want to Please forgive me. Thebes has to concentrate on dealing with threats from the north, so he dared not send an army to join you to deal with the Spartans! I am very sorry for that!" At this point, Ipamiron Da bowed his head and respectfully apologized to Croto Kataks.
