Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 123: Polyxis’ attack

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

After Patroclus and Steflos finished their lunch, they ran to the Temple of Athena, not far from the school.

This temple was originally built by the people here to thank Athens for their great help in rebuilding the city of Turri (the original patron of Turri was Apollo). After the Peloponnesian War, Turri forcibly severed its relationship with Athens and expelled the Tureis of Athenian origin. The number of people who came here to pray was much smaller, and even now there are very few.

Children like to play rugby and football games on the small square and empty square in front of the temple. In these sports, Patroclus is a small star, because at the age of 13, he is far better than other children in terms of strength, speed, and agility, and everyone loves to be with him.

But in the past few days, neither he nor Stifros can't be interested in playing. The two children lay on the wall of the temple and threw stones at the Koseni River bored.

"Stefros, I haven’t seen my father for almost two months. I tell you, this is the first time I have been apart from my father for so long since I was young, and I don’t know how he is now. ..." Patroclus stared at the rushing river blankly, and said with a little worry and a little bit of complaint: "Last time. When their First Army passed Turriy, Lord Daves didn't let them go home. Look! They walked so fast, I went after class desperately, but I didn't catch up..."

Stefros said with a big grin: "I heard my father say that the requirements of being a soldier in the legion are very strict, much more stringent than the requirements of our school. If you violate it, you will be spanked. Your father I am afraid of being spanked, of course I dare not come to see you!"

Patroclus glared at him: "I don't think you worry much about your father."

Steeflos stopped throwing stones into the river and reminded loudly: "I told you that Amintas is not my biological father! But... he is very kind to me and my mother..."

Steeflos turned his head and thought for a while, then said: "He often tells me the story of his fight with the great Archon of Davos when he was in Persia. He is a hero, and I like him very much. I believe he will be fine! Because the battle commanded by the great Daves Archon has never failed!"

His optimism infected Patroclus: "You are right, the Dionian Legion is invincible!"

At this time, a child rushed into the temple excitedly: "Good news! Good news!..."

"Procles, what good news makes you so happy?!" The children stopped the game and looked at him one after another.

"Cheers, classmates! Under the leadership of my father, the Third Army eliminated the invading Picocis!" Procles exclaimed excitedly.

"Is this true?" Patroclus asked hurriedly.

"Of course it's true!" Procles raised his head: "If you don't believe me, go to Turriy, the whole city is cheering!"

"No one doubts this victory, but the victory mainly comes from the command of the Daves Archon." Stevers saw Procles's excitement, and remembered that his adoptive father has not yet returned any news. , Couldn't help but grab a white sentence.

Procles was speechless for a while, staring at Steflos fiercely, and couldn't help shouting: "Anyway, my father is commanding the troops in Grumentum, and what is your father doing now? !"

Now it's Stephros' turn to be speechless.

As soon as the two were fighting, the other children cheered: "Great, victory!"

"Dionia is winning!"

"Legion wins!"

……

The cheering children began to line up according to the military actions taught by the instructor, and played a "triumphal" game. Procules and Stepros were pulled into the team by Patroclus. But soon, the two argued about who was playing the role of the flag bearer...

……………………………

At the same time, in the Turiyi Senate, the Senate is discussing the affairs of the Dionian League.

The rotating chairman Mariji took out a papyrus scroll and said: "The Chief Executive of Crimea Scombras sent a document saying that he had thought of many ways, but Crimea There are still many people who are unwilling to subscribe for wheat bonds. So far, the bonds allocated to several other cities have been sold out, even Asprostum. Only Crimea—"Marijiga Volume: "Originally, it was allocated the least amount, but even half of the share was not completed! Do you think you should bring the rest of the debt back to Castellon? Amiklis has already sent someone to talk about it. Several times,'Castro's citizens are eager to subscribe for the bonds issued by us!'"

"Agree!"

"I have no opinion!"

"If you borrow 100 catties of wheat, you can return 115 catties in a year. What a huge profit! Dionia does not take advantage of the citizens. Why are there so many people in Crimea who are unwilling to subscribe? We should think about the reasons!" Kunogolata reminded everyone.

As soon as these words came out, most of the elders turned their eyes to Anta Auris.

He looked quite embarrassed, he quickly coughed, stood up and said, "My sirs, I... I think there are several reasons for this... First of all, Crimea is the latest to join Dionia Alliance, it’s only been half a year now! The most important thing is that it is different from Asprostum..." At this point, he stabilized his mood, cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "Although I said The truth is uncomfortable, but it is true. The outbreak of the Crotone War was not initiated by the Dionians, but many Crimesans believed that Dionians should bear certain responsibility. Rimisa killed many people in the war with Dionia, and half a year was not enough to dissolve the resentment in their hearts. With resentment, it is naturally impossible to fully trust Dionia..."

Anta Auris' words caused a brief silence.

Half a while, Cornelus said in a deep voice: "The war with Crotone was inevitable. Although Crimea has become part of Dionia, it seems that we still need to do More efforts will be made to resolve the grief in the hearts of the Crimesa people. I also hope that the three adults, Anta Oris, Euricpus, and Pleards, can provide more help!"

"Whether as a member of the Senate or as a Crimean, this is what we should do!" Euricpus said firmly: "I believe it will not be long, Crimei The Saskatchewan will feel fortunate and proud to be a Dionian citizen!"

Euri Kupps' words were unanimously agreed by the elders.

At this moment, Pollux stood up and said, "Dear elders, I just talked about the wheat bond issue. It reminds me of Lord Merses once said, "This batch of people bought from the people. The rations can be used for more than two months at the most for the Dionian team'. Am I right? Lord Merses."

Although Merses hated Pollux, he had to nod his head and said, "Yes, I said. But--"

"Thank you!" Pollux interrupted Merses loudly, and quickly said: "Even if we have already captured Bisignia, but Bruti is such a huge area with a population of hundreds of thousands. It may be difficult to conquer it in two months! More importantly, when we concentrate on dealing with the Bruti, the Lucarias in the north are also taking the opportunity to make trouble. Now, the Senate is facing Baggul... …Um… Your lord is seriously injured and you don’t know whether you are alive or dead. Is there any good way to deal with Picosis’s aggressive attack on Grumentum?!” When Pollux said this, he turned his sympathetic eyes on Wes. For Ba and Hermon, although he hated these "barbarians who got into the Senate" in his heart, he needed these steadfast supporters of Daves to doubt the young man.

"No! Because all the soldiers are at war with the Brutis! If this continues, I am afraid that the Picosis have already captured Grumentum and invaded our neighbours before they have conquered the Bruti area. Utum! When the time comes, our Dionian Alliance will be attacked on both sides, and the army will face the dilemma of tight rations. A catastrophe will befall Dionian...sir, please think about this seriously. A terrible situation is very likely to happen!" Pollux screamed heartily.

A few veterans changed their faces, while others were thoughtful.

Maliji saw this scene in front of him, and hated in his heart: This **** Pollux has only been quiet for a few days, and he has come out to make trouble again!

Daves' design to lure the Lucanians was initially kept secret only by Avinojis, Sesta, Hieronymus, and the main team officers of the Third Army. Unknowingly, Mariji looked anxiously at Plycinus in the back row, hoping that he could stand up and refute Pollux.

"We are so combative! Just repelled Crotone, and soon attacked Grumentum. A few days after helping Tarantum, he launched another attack against the Bruti War... Our frantic expansion has caused the surrounding forces to be uneasy, they will join hands to deal with us! Picosis’s offensive is just a sign, for the long-term safety of Dionia, we should think about it and make Some bills restrict the practice of launching war at will!"

Polyxis didn't mention Davers in his words, but anyone could hear that it was clearly aimed at Davers, and the conference hall suddenly became very quiet.

At this moment, there was a bang, and the sound of the door being pushed open was particularly clear in the quiet enclosed space.

Feirisius looked excited and quickly walked into the venue.

Maliji's heart moved, breaking the silence, and said: "Master Felicius, you are late!"
