After listening to these three Taigeya councillors, their expressions changed drastically, and they immediately rushed towards the north.
The protagonists who came to ask for an explanation left suddenly, and the other members of the Arcadia Union looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.
Plintors immediately said in a deep voice: "The Spartan coalition forces have been defeated. Taking advantage of this favorable opportunity, our army is about to invade the territory of Sparta, and completely solve the problem that caused dozens of Greeks. The continuous scourge of the 1 year war has brought peace to the Greek people! So we can’t delay here any longer. After the war is over, we will come to celebrate the victory with you!” After finishing, he gave a military salute and then turned his horse's head.
Listening to Plintors' words, all the congressmen present felt like a dream: Their ally for decades, Sparta, which has ruled Greece for a century, is going to end? !
At this moment, Plintors turned around again, his gaze fell on Lycomides, and said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that the Taigya tore up the covenant and attacked our army. It is no longer The alliance of the Dionian Holy Kingdom, but our enemy, the captured city of Tygea is naturally the spoils of the Dionian army!
To show that we, Dionia, sent troops to Peloponnese this time to fulfill the covenant and assist Thebes in defeating Sparta, not to be greedy for the land of Greece, but also to thank Mandin. The Niyas gave a lot of help to our army in this battle. Our commander presented the spoils to the Mandingyas, and they accepted it with pleasure. "
Plintors finished speaking, and left, leaving only the Arcadia councillors with messy thoughts: "What do you mean by this?"
"Don't you understand this! The Mandinians are going to occupy the land of Taga!"
"What?!!"
A group of people quickly surrounded Lu Komedes, who was in the same unknown situation, and kept questioning...
……………………………………………………
After the reunion of Klotokatax and Taginos, he led nearly 18,000 soldiers into the Spartan territory. After passing a section of undulating mountain roads, I came to the Urotas River Valley and walked along the narrow and winding valley. At dusk, I finally arrived at the defensive camp built by Sparta.
The small camp is simply unable to accommodate so many soldiers. Each legion and brigade had to find places to camp separately. Fortunately, no accident happened this night.
The soldiers who didn't sleep well the next day set off early to move on, and finally walked out of the river valley into the open hilly area when the day was bright.
After this arduous trek, Cloto Catacs became more aware of how much help the 1st Fleet had conquered Sparta in advance.
Almost noon, the army finally approached the first town in Sparta, Celasia.
Learning that the senior generals of the First Fleet led by Sekerian were greeted in front of the village, Cloto Catax also led a group of senior generals such as Plintors and drove over on horseback.
Before Croto Kataks dismounted, the famous hero of the kingdom who was dressed in fleece, dark skin and not angry and prestigious took the initiative to greet him, and solemnly delivered a military salute: "Your Lord Commander, No. First Fleet Commander Sekelian reports to you!"
Klotokatax immediately turned over and dismounted, and also solemnly returned a military salute, and then loudly praised: "General Sekerian, congratulations on your occupation of the Spartan territory and your creation of great brilliance! Relying only on the fleet of infantry, we successfully landed on the heavily defended Spartan coast and defeated the defenders. This is very remarkable! It also provided great help to the entire expeditionary army, which is conducive to the implementation of our next plan!"
Clotokatax did not hesitate to praise, so that Sekelian and the generals behind him were happy to hear. Sekelian laughed and said seriously: "Commander, with you To be honest, when you took office in Messenia, the reason why I didn’t go to see you was actually because the last time the First Fleet failed to land on the coast of Sparta, and killed nearly a thousand soldiers, it was my command error. Therefore, I really have no face to see you. This time I finally got what I wanted. The honor is not honored, but the big stone that has been pressing in my heart finally fell, and I dare to come to you to plead."
Why did Sekerian, who has always regarded himself very high, put down his figure this time and took the initiative to show his favor to the young commander? Mainly because he has been in a high position over the years and has some political wisdom. He has gradually realized the reason why the battle-tested King Davos let the young Cloto Kataks command in such an important war. In order to For the rest of his life and the future of his children, he had to remain humble to make up for his previous mistakes.
As soon as his voice fell, a heavy grunt came from behind Croto Kataks: "Since the 1st Fleet is so powerful, it can do it on the sea and on the land, and there will be wars in the future, just send the 1st. The fleet is going to solve it alone!"
Secrian took a closer look. The speaker was Oliver. This was a very experienced military veteran. Although he was uncomfortable, there was no need to offend him. At the same time, he returned to Croto. Catax left a bad impression, so he said with a smile: "Our 1st Fleet was able to capture Sparta, in fact, it is because Commander you led the army to attract the main force of Sparta in Arcadia. . And, I also heard that you had a fierce battle with the Spartans in Tagya, which completely defeated the Spartans. It was also a brilliant victory! Without this victory, there would be no Our army, even if the 1st Fleet captures Sparta, it will eventually be recaptured by the main force of Sparta!"
Secrian's remarks made sense and made the legionnaires feel comfortable, and the unpleasant color on their faces quickly disappeared.
This also greatly changed Croto Kataks’s impression of Sekelian. He took the conversation and said seriously: "It is through the cooperation of the army and the navy and the joint efforts that we have won The victory over Sparta! Next, the close cooperation of the navy and the army is needed to successfully defeat the Greek city-state troops that are hostile to Dionia! But now we must first deal with the matters after the defeat of Sparta as soon as possible. Free your hands to meet the challenges of other Greek city-states. Sir Sekerian, how is the situation in Sparta now?"
Secrian glanced behind Croto Kataks, and felt a little strange: He was a little familiar with the newly appointed First Corps Commander, Ketisus. This is a very active guy, but what? He seemed a little quiet now, and seemed to be a little restless.
However, he has no time to think about it now, and first responds to the young commander’s question: "We have imprisoned all the people in Sparta, and now the entire Spartan city, including the surrounding villages and towns, has been captured by me. The subordinate fleet infantry and 7th legionnaires occupied it.
I’m afraid you might not think that when our landing army approached Spartan City, the main defensive force of the Spartans had been lost. They actually organized the old people, women, and children in the city to fight against us— —"
"You didn't kill too many people, did you?" Croto Kataks blurted out.
Sekrian glanced at him and said, "No, because we know very well that the living Spartans are more useful than death. At that time, I launched an offensive with the Seventh Army soldiers as the vanguard, and soon Spartan The Da people were defeated, but in the process of arresting them, they were strongly resisted by some people, and many of our soldiers were injured.
Now, many Black Laoss have fled to the mountains, and the Piriasi people have hid in their own villages and towns, all watching. I do not have many troops, and it is not easy to control the villages and towns of Sparta, so now I am eagerly looking forward to your arrival! "
Secrian’s frankness makes it difficult for Cloto Kataks to say anything more in this regard. He just asked: "Have you found a broken soldier from the north these days?"
"There is no news in this regard at the moment."
Secrian's answer caused Cloto Kataks to frown slightly.
"Your commander, don’t worry. We have the Spartans as hostages. Those Spartans who fled back have only one way to surrender. I used this method to force the dozens of people stationed in the northern defensive camp to surrender. A Spartan soldier." Sekelian said relieved.
Klotokatax said in a deep voice: "General Sekerian, before coming to Peloponnese, my father once told me that he did not intend to annex the land of Sparta. But to change Sparta’s political system and turn it into an ally friendly to the kingdom..."
Secrian was taken aback. After all, he was not very good at government affairs. He couldn't help but reminded: "Those Spartan elders and inspectors have become our captives, but they have a very tough temper. It’s too easy to give in, what can we do to get them to obey?"
Daves’s suggestion was mentioned before. During the time in the Peloponnese, Croto Kataks also conducted repeated thoughts and deliberations based on the actual situation, and already had some plans in his mind. He confidently said: "We can first..."
The group walked in the direction of Sparta and said that after more than an hour, they saw two tall bronze warrior statues standing on both sides of the road ahead. They only wore Corinthian helmets, showing their strong bodies. Holding a shield gun and a saber, while posing in a charge posture, while doing a roar, seemed to shock any strangers who wanted to enter the center of Sparta.
"The city of Sparta is in front of you." Saikerian said.
Everyone was refreshed.
Bypassing the bronze statue, there are sparse thatched earthen houses in front of them, which are no different from most houses seen in Messenia. Cloto Catacs knows that this should be Black Rolls. The house where they live.
