During this difficult period, a civil strife broke out in a town in the south. The king of the town led his loyal people to join Sparta. Sparta’s strength was greatly enhanced, and with their help In the end, the war in Laconia was finally won, and Sparta established a leading position in this region.
The Rasidian people of the villages that surrendered were then called Piriasis (i.e. border people of the ruling city-state). They had personal freedom and the right to handle local affairs, but in Sparta The city-states had no political rights, and they had to be placed under the supervision of military chiefs sent by Sparta to ensure that they could perform military service and cultivate royal estate.
And the people of the conquered villages were ruthlessly demoted to slaves even if they were once compatriots. This is the origin of Black Laoshi.
From then on, Sparta established a dual king system (one is a king born in Sparta, from the Ajidai clan; the other is a king from the south, from the Ulippuntides clan ).
Now, Cloto Kataks wants to use this great opportunity to conquer Sparta to completely subvert the original political structure of Sparta and establish a new political system.
He sent envoys to the villages of the Piriassies, invited them to Sparta, and promised them: Dionia will never do any harm to them, but will give them the right to let They participated in the formation of a new Sparta.
In addition, he personally talked with the captured Piriasi soldiers and then released them. At the same time, he also sent a messenger to Messenia to recruit a group of new Messenian citizens who were born in Black Lao Shi, and asked them to meet the Black Lao Shi hiding in the mountains, and use their own examples to persuade these fears and fears. The starving Black Rolls came down the mountain and cooperated with Dionia.
At the same time, Croto Kataks didn't talk to any Spartans. Just after he arranged these tasks and waited quietly for the arrival of the Piriasi and the Black Laos, he suddenly received a report from the garrison in the upper defensive camp of the Urotas River: they intercepted from the north. Nearly a thousand Spartan soldiers came. When they learned that Sparta had been occupied, they surrendered without fighting. Among the captured soldiers was King Agsilius of Sparta.
After hearing the news, Cloto Kataks almost jumped with excitement: Agcilius and his army were captured, which eliminated the last trace of worry in his heart. He can let go of his hands and feet. Implement your own plan on this land.
In order to prevent accidents, he also sent a heavy infantry brigade to **** these ten Spartan soldiers.
One day later, Croto Kataks saw these prisoners at the entrance to the north of Sparta. They were ragged, unkempt, walking staggered, and seemed to fall at any time. Klotokatax now understands why the garrison company in the defensive camp can easily capture this nearly 1,000-man defeated army with only 200 men.
He and the officers focused their eyes on the leading Spartan: pale hair, beard, gray face, skinny, curled left leg, and a cane, staggering under the support of others Moving forward, only those eyes seemed to be fascinating.
Seeing Croto Kataks and others in front of him, the old man pushed away the supporter and walked closer stubbornly and hard.
"Dear King Agsilius!" Cloto Kataks did not assume the arrogant gesture of a winner, but said in a gentle tone: "Hello! I am Commander Dionia. Lotto Catacs."
"I know you...Daves' son." Agsilius looked a little calm at the moment, and said in a hoarse voice: "This time it was our Sparta who lost... I want to know how you are. Disposal... of our Spartans?!"
The sound of these last words trembled a little, but it still revealed the worry in his heart.
Clotokatax’s mouth showed a sarcasm, and said in a more serious tone: “They have all been imprisoned. Many of them are still unwilling to accept the fact that they are defeated. The coalition has hope!"
Agsilius was silent for a long time, then looked directly at him, and said in a deep and meaningful voice: "If you lose, you will lose. The city of Sparta is already occupied. What else can you expect... …But our Sparta has been very influential throughout Greece in the past few decades. Dionia wants to defeat the Persian conspiracy and dominate these city-states in Greece. Our Sparta can still provide you with great help! "
This old man, known as "Spartan's toughest main combatant", showed him an attitude of wanting to cooperate actively, which surprised Cloto Kataks. He settled down and responded: "Our plan for dealing with Sparta has been determined. I believe you will know soon. I hope you will lead the people to actively cooperate."
Agsilius took a deep look at him, then looked back at the soldiers passing by him: "Okay. But before that, I hope we can take a good bath and eat. Full of rice."
"Don't worry, we will arrange it." Croto Kataks said with a complicated expression: "There is good news to tell you that your son Archidamus was injured and fled into the mountains. As a result, He was in a coma because the wound was purulent and infected. His guards carried him out of the mountain and surrendered to us. He is now being treated by our doctor in Tygea City. He was not awake when I left, but his physical condition was much better than before."
Archidhams is the only son of Agsilius, the direct bloodline of the royal family of Aguidai. Hearing this news, the heart that Agsilius has always cared about fell down, and he suppressed the thoughts in his heart. Excited, he said lightly: "It is the glory of the Spartans to die on the battlefield. Too many Spartans have died in this war! But anyway, thank you for your rescue. There are more real Spartans. One is one!"
Clotokatax stared at Agsilius’s back. After a while, he turned around and said to Sekerian and others in a deep tone: "This Spar I am afraid that King Da has been in the mountains for several days. He was so hungry that he finally walked back and learned the bad news of the occupation of Sparta. It’s not easy to be able to act so calmly! It’s just...but I hope he can maintain such a calm after learning of our plan to reorganize Sparta!"
Secrian was a little surprised by the bit of resentment revealed in Cloto Catax’s voice. Of course he didn’t know that Cloto Catax blamed Sparta for the death of Adoris. The commander-in-chief of Agsilius.
Some of the black ladies who fled to the mountains followed the advice of the messengers from Messenia and returned to Sparta one after another. As the messenger said, the Dionian army not only did not arrest them, but Arranging a place for them and distributing food, which prompted more starving black Lao Shi to run down the mountain.
After listening to the persuasion of the Dionian messenger, the people of the various Piriasi villages sent their own representatives to Sparta to discuss matters.
A few days later, Cloto Catacs invited the representatives of Piriasi and Black Rolls into the Spartan Chamber and let them sit in the old Spartan elders. Wooden chair.
After everything was ready, Croto Catacs stood in front of the venue and looked at these a little restless delegates. He said gently, "Everyone, today is an important day for you. , First of all, please allow me to call you Rasidians. Don’t be surprised, whether it’s you Piriasis or your Black Laoss, they were once the same race as the Spartans, but only for a few hundred years. Your ancestors suffered defeat in the war against Sparta to unify Lagnia. Not only did you lose your land and rights, you were also deprived of your true ethnic name, and those who surrendered became Piriassi , The captive became a black Laoshi——"
Speaking of Cloto Kataks, there was a lot of commotion in the venue.
Although the Piriasi people have a little inheritance, the true history has long been blurred in the past hundreds of years. Contrary to the saying that the Spartans have been deliberately preaching, in the generations of Peria The memory of the Westerners became clearer and clearer: they were immigrants from outside, after reaching an agreement with the Spartans, they were allowed to settle on the border of this land.
The situation of the Black Rollers is even worse. They have been slaves for generations, and the Spartans will never let them read and literate. Therefore, most of them are illiterate. Under the club education of the Spartans, They have to work hard for the Spartans all their lives. They don’t know the history of their race, and they don’t even know the names of their parents. They live numbly and have no hope...
And today, someone suddenly told them: "You and the Spartans were once the masters of this land!" This completely subverted their previous cognition, and all of them were shocked as never before.
They talked suspiciously with each other, and even boldly asked Cloto Kataks.
"Our Dionian scholars have studied the history of Sparta and have obtained some very precious information, which can fully prove that you were all Lascidian dreamers. If you want to see it, wait In the future, the situation in Greece will stabilize, and I will invite you to read these collections in the library of Turii.
What I want to tell you now is that the reason why the Dionian army captured Messenia was to regain independence for the Messenians who were once enslaved by the Spartans. You communicated with them before. Yes, it should be clear that Dionia has done what we said.
One of the important reasons for Dionia to conquer Sparta is to let you who are now enslaved regain your lost land and rights and become the true masters of Ragnia! "
