At the same time, the old voice and smile of Adoris continue to appear in Croto Kataks' mind: "Crotto, I didn’t expect my father to send you to Peloponnese. Don’t worry, brother, I I will do my best to protect you!...
Oh, by the way, this is your first time commanding the army, don’t worry, I will fully support you...
Crotto, this time I am here as a soldier representing the whole team and want to ask, is there any special plan for us to build camps instead of fighting...
Crotto, you finally ordered us to fight. I will fight with all my strength and bring you the first victory..."
"Big brother!!..." Croto Kataks cried out in pain, tears streaming uncontrollably.
It took a long time before he had to stop crying because he was about to start cremating the remains of the soldiers who died.
Clotokatax looked vaguely at Adoris's body slowly coking in the blazing fire...
At this time, Ktisus had the opportunity to tell him painfully: "His Royal Highness, according to the memory of a seriously wounded soldier of the Third Battalion, the squadron of Adoris Battalion was breached by the Spartans. Later, in order to save the soldiers under his assistant, he was stabbed with spears in many places on the front of his thighs and chest, and his whole body was bloodied. He was completely unable to stand... But even when lying on the ground, he still wielded his short sword and continued to slash the enemy. The Bada pierced with a spear..."
"The Spartans who should have been stabbed by thousands of swords!!" Cloto Kataks gnashed his teeth and cursed, his fists clenched, his nails pierced his skin, and blood was bleeding.
"His Royal Highness, the heroic performance of Captain Adoris did not humiliate the glory of the First Legion, let alone his glory as the prince of Dionia! He is a hero of the kingdom, and his soul will be affected. Diss’ favor, go to Elysee Paradise!" Plintors comforted softly from the side.
Clotokatax silently stroked the helmet of Adoris as a relic, and then said in a sad voice: "...How can I go back to face my parents, my sister-in-law and nephew!"
Plintors and Kettesus were shocked. They looked at each other and thought of a question at the same time: What if King Davos learned of the death of Adoris in battle? !
After the war, after learning of the heavy casualties of the First Legion, Cetisus had been blaming himself. At this moment, he resolutely said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, the First Legion has suffered heavy casualties, and Captain Adoris died in the battle... It’s my responsibility! If it wasn’t for my command error, I was too hesitant to give orders and failed to make the soldiers prepared in time, it would not be possible—"
Although Cloto Kataks was grieved and still very clear-headed, he waved his hand and interrupted him: "Captain Cettisus, this is not your responsibility. Blame the enemy for being too treacherous and shameless. Lord Priintoles, we must not let the Spartans flee into the mountains!"
Klotokatax’s words were full of hatred, a posture of swearing to give up without annihilating the enemy, contrary to the gentle attitude shown before, Plintors knew this was Ah The tragic death of Doris gave the young prince a great excitement. He did not give any warning, but said: "Your Highness can rest assured that we have captured the camp of the Spartan army in the Hercules Sanctuary and captured it. With a lot of baggage, Spartan troops fled into the mountains without food, and the situation will only get worse. Tomorrow we will send troops to the south and block the border of Sparta, and they will be easily captured."
"The plan to attack the Spartan territory cannot be delayed for too long!" Cloto Kataks said in a bitter voice: "When will the army complete its rest?"
"His Royal Highness, it doesn't take too long. The day after tomorrow we can send some troops into Spartan territory." Priintoles said affirmatively.
"Part of the army? If you want to conquer Sparta, will they not have enough troops?"
"The Spartans who are under-strength now, not to mention that we still have the infantry of the First Fleet in the south to cooperate."
"Okay, then follow the suggestions you said." Croto Kataks nodded, was about to say something, but saw Mukru hurriedly approaching: "Master Commander, Tiger Ya sent a messenger to ask to see you."
"Tegya!" Klotokatax's face sank immediately, and the young face became a little distorted with resentment: "These shameless traitors still have the face to meet me! We are here to They came to save them, and they not only betrayed them, but also used our trust to launch a sneak attack on our army! The Taigeya were the chief culprits who caused heavy casualties in the First Legion and the death of my elder brother! I will never forgive them. !"
For the young commander’s anger, Ketisus felt the same way. If there was no sneak attack by the Taga army from the rear, it was just a tactic of defeat by the Spartan army. He believed that with the combat power of the First Army, Even if the formation is not complete, he will not suffer too much. It is precisely because of the front and back flanking that he has to turn the soldiers of the First Legion into the defensive position, thus being completely passively beaten.
Therefore, he also said angrily: "Commander, after the defeat of the Spartan coalition forces, the Taigeya army was completely surrounded by us. Few soldiers escaped, and the number of captured soldiers alone was nearly 2500. People, it is better to execute all these prisoners to sacrifice the souls of the soldiers who died in battle, or turn them into slaves for sale.
I asked several prisoners of Taigeya. The Council of Taigeya sent all the citizens who can fight in their city, obviously with a vicious mind, wanting to completely destroy our army through this battle! But for Hades's blessing, Taigeya lost all its vitality because of this, and we can easily take this city.
Master Commander, our Dionian tradition has always been to treat our friends sincerely, and never be merciful to betrayal! We can completely destroy this city, thereby frightening the whole of Greece, and let those city-states who want to be our enemies consider the consequences! "
Ketisus’s words were murderous. After Croto Kataks listened to this, he was still in grief and resentment, and he hesitated a little, and subconsciously looked at Plinto next to him. Les.
Plintors did not directly state his suggestion, but did not hurriedly talked about a past event: "I remember that in the Western Mediterranean War, your Majesty led a large army to attack Rome and conquer the city of Rome. After that, he turned to attack the Latin Allies of Rome. When attacking the city of Gaby, they encountered stubborn resistance. Not only did they kill many soldiers, but also the city of Gaby united with the Roman coalition forces to counter our siege troops. Surrounded.
In the end, His Majesty defeated them and captured Gaby City, and then ordered all Gabyites to be demoted to slaves. Since then, the Latinos have felt terrified, and wherever our army went, They opened their doors and surrendered. When the ninth legion led by the commander of the Taigetinus army captured Sarros, he also adopted the same method because of excessive casualties. After that, the conquest of the entire Sardinia was much smoother...
Although the kingdom is strong, it has little influence on the Greek mainland. On the contrary, many Greek city-states treat us like barbarians, which is why Taga’s blatant betrayal, Ellis’s initial goodwill turned hostile...on the one hand, while expressing our goodwill to the Greek city-states, we also need to show them. Appropriately show our powerful strength, which will be more helpful for the kingdom to take root in the Greek mainland in the future, so destroying the city of Taga-I think it is a good choice! "
At this time, Cloto Kataks suddenly remembered that the commander who captured Gabi City and carried out this cruel approach was Printoles. Of course, he would not oppose Ketisus's suggestion.
Klotokatax frowned and fell into contemplation. After a while, he murmured: "If the Tigers are cleared, will we occupy this territory by ourselves? If that happens, it will be serious. Affect our relationship with the Arcadia Alliance!..."
Plintors blinked without speaking. He hadn't thought about this issue, because he felt that this should be a political and diplomatic issue, not a category that military staff officers should consider.
Fortunately, Cloto Kataks did not ask any more, but continued to frown and meditate. After a while, he said, "Go and call the guide of Mandynia, Carrizenos."
Karisenos came to the young commander, feeling very nervous. As a bystander, he witnessed the whole process of the battle, not only saw countless corpses of Spartan soldiers lying down in the field. , I also saw hundreds of prisoners being escorted by Dionian soldiers passing by, among them some Spartan warriors with long braids... This gave him a great shock.
At the Battle of Leuktra, he was not at the scene, and I don’t know what was going on. But this time the Spartans have an army of nearly 30,000, and the full help of the Taigeians. It can be said that it is the most powerful force that Spartans have in the past few decades, but it is still by the Dionian army. Without the help of the Arcadian army, Independence defeated it from the front.
After this battle, there is no doubt that Dionia will conquer Sparta, and the betrayal of the Taigeians put the Arcadians as allies into an embarrassing and dangerous situation.
Sure enough, Cloto Kataks made him startled as soon as he opened his mouth: "Dionia fulfilled the covenant and worked so hard to rescue Taigea, but suffered their betrayal, which caused us to die and wound many soldiers. ……Tegya must pay for this! We have decided to attack the city immediately. After the city is captured, all members of the council will be touched and all the people in the city will be turned into slaves. From then on this land There are no more Taigeyas in the world!"
