lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
At this moment, hearing the number spit out by Plintors and seeing the Dionian army marching indefinitely ahead, the members of the Arcadian Council felt that even if the number said by the other party is watery, it should be It will not differ too much.
Therefore, the importance of the lawmakers on Dionia has once again risen to a higher level, and even some people have temporarily suppressed other thoughts in their hearts.
"General Cloto Kataks, let me introduce you to the members of our alliance." Lycomides' voice broke the sudden silence.
"Great!" Croto Kataks nodded with a smile.
"This one is Meretus of Mandinia..."
"Nice to meet you!"
……
Clotokatax's sincere expression, sincere speech, and elegant manners left a better impression on the members of the introduction, and the whole atmosphere became friendly.
At this moment, there was a small commotion among the congressmen, and then there was a complaint: "Hey, you two don't squeeze forward in a hurry. You will be introduced to you later."
Lycomides was taken aback, and looked back hurriedly, wondering who was so impolite and embarrassed the league.
Suddenly there was a shout in my ear: "Your Highness, be careful!"
Next, he saw the guards on the left and right sides of Commander Dionia in front of him suddenly rush forward. At the same time, the two councillors beside him were pushed down violently and brought him down at the same time. Someone rushed out from behind and was stepping on his hand when he landed, the pain was pierced into the bones.
But he resisted the severe pain and eagerly shouted: "Be careful, there are assassins!!"
The two rushing out of the crowd, holding bright daggers, viciously rushed towards Crotocroto Kataks.
The two court guards had stood in front of him, drew their swords out of their sheaths, and stabbed at each other.
One of them was stabbed down immediately, and the other burly assassin turned sideways slightly, avoiding the critical point, and he just withstood the sword. Then, by the inertia of the forward rush, he smashed the guards in front of him.
At this moment, Printors on the side flew up and kicked on his ankle. He immediately fell forward, and the short sword stuck on the sternum touched the ground and pierced his chest. , The assassin immediately lost his breath, and the dagger in his hand fell to the feet of Cloto Kataks.
Crotto Kataks has experienced several assassinations like this, but these are more dangerous, his expression is still calm, he picked up the dagger and looked at it, and then pushed the guards away to cover him. Longshield, thanks to the guards and Plintors who intercepted the assassins.
"When I was young, I came from the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade. It's rare to have a chance to fight the enemy in these years." Plintors said jokingly, wanting him to relax.
Clotokatax hurriedly stepped forward and helped Lycomeds up again. In the process, the court guards in the rear rushed up, holding swords and shields, and took the dozens of Arcadis in panic. A group of members of the Asian League surrounded.
After Lycomides got up, he didn't have time to thank him, and regardless of the pain in his right hand, he ran towards the two assassins who fell to the ground and was stopped by guards.
"Let me see them! Let me see them!" Lukemedes yelled eagerly.
Crotto Kataks nodded, agreeing.
Lycomides first looked at the assassin who was pierced by a sharp sword, and then went to look at the assassin who was chopped on his neck and bleeding.
The assassin's mind was almost in a coma, and he kept murmuring in his mouth.
Lycomides disregarded the blood soaking Bolton, and listened closely: "The Lord of the gods...Zeus is above...the great and loving...Zeus bless...The Lord of the gods...Zeus is above... …"
Because the assassin was dying, he did not dare to ask loudly, but frowned and thought for a while, then turned around, and said to Cloto Kataks with a serious face: "Trust us! We Aka The Alliance of Dia will never send people to assassinate allies at this critical juncture as soon as they formed an alliance!"
Clotokatax looked at the panicked members of Arcadia, stepped forward without any hesitation, and said in a loud voice, "I believe you-Dionia's allies! I am afraid that some forces are afraid to see us forming an alliance, so they will adopt this despicable way to make us who just formed an alliance suspect each other!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the court guards immediately put away their swords and shields and began to retreat, but there were still guards on both sides of Klotokataks to keep alert.
Lycomeds breathed a sigh of relief for a while, then looked at the congressmen and said loudly: "Aguirus, come here to see if you know these two assassins. I just listened to their accents. It feels like someone to the west of you."
"This is absolutely impossible!" Aguirus walked out of the crowd and looked at Lycomides angrily, but he walked quickly to the two assassins to identify them carefully, and then lay on the ground and listened. At last, he stood up and said to Cloto Kataks very confidently: "These two assassins are by no means a citizen of Okomenus! But I can roughly guess where they came from!"
"Where do you come from?" Lycomides asked urgently.
Aguirus said with a slightly complicated expression: "It should be near Olympia. The people there have a different name for the **** Zeus..."
"Oh, you said that, I remember it!" Lycomides suddenly realized, he hesitated for a moment, and then said to Cloto Catacs: "These two assassins are likely to be Pizzas. Come, because they are loyal allies of the Spartans, but it may also be the self-assertion of the Olympians..."
Although Lycomides did not finish the words, Cloto Catacs has understood the meaning of his words: because Dionia regards Hades as the kingdom’s guardian god, and also regards him as Greece The lord of the gods, this is obviously very different from the native Greek view of the gods, especially for the Olympians who have the most magnificent temple of Zeus, hold the largest sports event dedicated to Zeus in Greece, and have the most pious Zeus believers in Greece. They undoubtedly hate the faith of the Dionians!
Klotokatax subconsciously looked at the temple of Zeus under construction in the new Megalopolis, and originally wanted to take the opportunity to promote the Kingdom of Dionian’s treatment of various beliefs. He treats the same attitude as religion. It’s not that he has never done anything like this in Rome, but after thinking about it, he dismissed his mind and said, “Now that things are clear, Pisa and Olympia sent people to assassinate me in a vain attempt. Destroy the alliance between Dionian and Arcadia, and prevent our Dionian army from adding reinforcements to Arcadia. We must not let their conspiracy succeed! We must repel the invading Spartans as soon as possible, and then try again. Go back and find the pizza to settle the account!"
"That's right! Mandinia is now being besieged by the Spartans, they are in urgent need of rescue!" A Mandinia councilor said eagerly.
Other congressmen also rushed to agree, and everyone wanted to get out of this weird and embarrassing atmosphere.
"How is the situation in Mandinia now?" Cloto Catacs looked at Lucomides. He had two days of alliance agreement negotiations with the leader of Mandinia. He was right This person was impressed by his stability and vision, so he was more willing to believe what he said.
Lycomides looked at his colleagues in Mandinia, and said in a heavy tone: "We Mandinia have learned the lessons of the last destroyed city. The new city designed and built should be said to be very strong. We are not afraid of the enemy’s long-term siege, but... we did not expect that the number of soldiers employed by Spartans would be so large and well-equipped. If the Spartans continue to attack, we are very worried that the city of Mandinia will not be able to resist for a long time. And this situation is very likely to happen, because the Spartans hate us Mandinia! Once Mandinia falls, I am afraid that the whole city will be slaughtered by the Spartans this time!"
Clotokatax nodded sympathetically, and was about to speak, when Priintoles next to him asked first: "How many people are there in the Spartan army besieging Mandinia?"
"Combined with the reports of the messengers who ventured to report several times in the city, the number of soldiers in the Spartan army is about 20,000, and the heavy infantry is no less than 6,000. They also have more than 1,000 cavalry..." Lycomides replied.
Plintors compared what he said with the information detected by the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade, with a general understanding of his heart, and then motioned to Cloto Kataks with his eyes.
Clotokatax has calmed down at this time, because he almost made a promise just now because of impulse, he made a gesture of please say with a little guilt.
Plintors immediately asked again: "For the invasion of the Spartans, what kind of response plan does your Arcadian Alliance have?"
"After receiving the news of the Spartan invasion, our alliance has begun military mobilization of the entire region." Lycomides said solemnly: "But the Spartan mercenaries from the northeast of Arcadia In the face of it, Arcadia’s southeastern part is adjacent to Sparta, so the citizens of the entire eastern city-state must first guard their city. It is estimated that the alliance can gather only more than 3,000 troops, and at least it needs It takes four or five days to come together, and then we will lead this army to rescue Mandynia, but compared with the Spartan army, our number is too small... so in order to repel the Spartans , We urgently need your help!"
"It's not just about rescuing Mandinia. If Sparta's own army also attacked from the south, it might directly threaten this place! The words of another Congressman immediately resonated with everyone.
Plintors looked at these worried-faced members of the Arcadia Alliance and exclaimed: "The reinforcements of Dionia are heading east, and it is estimated that they will arrive at the border of the Taga region this afternoon ( This area is adjacent to the Spartan Territory), where we will build a camp, and try to build the camp to the east to block the access to Taigeya.
