When Arobmas realized that something was wrong with the situation in the city, these rumors had spread throughout the city, and the words revealed a meaning: the former consul Hernipolis was a good man, and Arobmas was Want to turn the civilians of Laos into slave-squeezed tyrants again!

Arobumas was furious. He severely asked his subordinates to immediately arrest the person who spread the rumors and let the matter calm down as soon as possible.

At this moment, there was news that "Saru, the Chief Executive of Vig City, is marching towards Laos", and at the same time, Grumentum Chief Executive Baghul led in Lucca. The 3000 reserve soldiers newly assembled in the Nya region also arrived in Niutum.

Arob Marston became nervous.

……………………………

On the third day after the Great Battle of Taranto, the Spartan envoy Ke Rethorpes sailed into the Gulf of Taranto.

Before setting off, Krisops carefully understood the situation of the Great Greece war. He knew that the Syracuse Navy blocked the entire Taranto Gulf, which prevented the Dionian League sails from entering the sea, so he did it himself. Well prepared to encounter the Syracuse patrol ship, but he did not expect that he encountered the Dionian patrol ship. He was impressed.

At this time, the Dionian patrol ship was no longer converted with a cargo ship or a fifty-pronged clipper, but a real top warship in the Greek city-state—three-layered pluton.

The patrol boat intercepted Kerrythorpes’s ship, and after asking about the coming and going, ignoring Kerrythorpes’ protests, he went on board and searched for more to confirm whether there are more hidden Armed persons or weapons.

At this time, Kerry Thorpes asked loudly: "When I passed by here a few days ago, I saw many Syracuse warships cruising in the bay. Where did they go?"

Kerithorpes's question was a bit rude, the captain on the side squeezed his sweat nervously, the captain of the Dionian patrol ship on the ship looked at the guest Rethorpes coldly, if it weren’t for him. The identity of Bada’s messenger has long been cursed, and he sneered a few times: "Where did you go? Where else can you go! Either fell into the sea to feed the fish, or was imprisoned in Turiyi!"

Kelithorpes, who had always been steady when he heard this, opened his eyes wide in surprise: "You have defeated the navy of Syracuse?!"

"You look like you still don't believe it." The captain stood on the side of the ship, spitting out a thick sputum into the sea, and said proudly: "Two days ago, our King Daves led us to win more with less. The navy of Syracuse was completely defeated, and their defeated troops fled back to Siritim, but it won't be long before we will completely annihilate them! At that time, this sea will belong to our Dionians!"

Greethorpes was shocked. He didn't expect that on his way out of Sparta by boat, there would be a naval battle here that could change the situation of the entire Great Greece war! At the same time, he also noticed another thing that surprised him: "You said Daves became king?!"

The captain sullen his face immediately: "Be careful, Spartans! The name you mentioned is the king of the Dionian League, the son of Hades, the victorious Greek general, and Dior. Protectors of the people of Nigeria, please give enough respect and awe, otherwise we will impound your ship, you will not enjoy the treatment of the messenger, but enter Turei as a criminal!"

Hearing the threat of the Dionians, if it were Phoebe Das, he would have been furious, but Keli Thorpes was stable enough, he stopped talking, but his heart seemed to have set off a storm and churned...

On the way to Turíy, Krisops and the crew and sailors served by the Pithias still expressed the news that the "Dionian Fleet defeated the Syracuse Navy" It is difficult to accept (the Spartan citizen has only one profession-warrior, so the trade of Laconian Gulf sailors is also held by the non-Spartan Pisias. The Spartans will not allow Black Laoshi served as a sailor, because it meant unpredictable danger), but when they were approaching Turiyi, they were surprised to see countless three-layer paddle warships densely covering the sea, seeming to be rehearsing the formation, shouting Sounds and trumpets enveloped the entire sea area...

Kerrythorpes and everyone on the passenger ship were shocked by the spectacular sight in front of them, and everyone had similar questions: Are these three-tiered paddle warships belonging to Dionia? ? Haven't they just ended their battle with the Syracuse Navy? How come there are so many warships? Did they also get assistance from the Persians? ...

This is the fact. The Dionian fleet originally had about 150 three-layer paddle warships, and later captured more than 150 warships from Syracuse. In addition, it subsequently captured 35 three-layer paddle warships from Tarantum. There are now more than 330 three-layer paddle warships in the Nya Navy.

Sekrian has been worried about it these past two days. He had to arrange for a boatman to repair the ships damaged in the battle. At the same time, because of the addition of so many ships, Turri did not have so many sailors to equip. There were only ships and no people, and no matter how many ships there were, they would be useless. , He racked his brains and finally thought of a way to recruit sailors.

At this time, the crisis in Heraclea has been resolved, Metapontum has been recovered, and Castellon has once again strengthened his confidence in following Dionia. After Secorian received Daves’ permission, Sending people to these three allies to recruit sailors, quickly put more than 60 warships into use.

However, these newly recruited sailors did not have the experience of piloting a three-layer paddle warship, so Sekelian has been busy training the expanded fleet for the past two days. Because of the secret weapon of the Dionian fleet in the naval battle— -The Crow Suspension Bridge has been exposed, and he doesn't need to hide it anymore, but let the entire fleet show up in the bay.

So Gleethorpes and the others were curious when they saw a long "plank" erected on the front masts of many warships in the Dionian fleet.

It seems that Dionia really defeated the Syracuse Navy! Kelithorpes looked solemnly at the Dionian warships that slashed the waves on the sea, thinking about the impact of this important news on Turriy.

After much deliberation, he found that this victory actually increased the possibility of a truce between Dionia and Syracuse, which cheered him up.

The Spartan passenger ship entered the mouth of the Krati River and was ordered to disembark at the port. This is because since the construction of the Turiyi Military Port on the banks of the Krati River, the wharf in the city of Turiyi has been closed for the sake of confidentiality, and no ships are allowed to pass through the military port to reach the city of Turiyi.

If Kerry Thorpes had been to the port of Turri a few days ago, he would have been surprised by the excitement of the port today, because the port of Turri was changed due to the sea blockade by the Siracusa navy. It was very depressed. No merchant ships arrived and no merchant ships left. The large number of free people who depended on the port for survival had nothing to do. Most of them were later recruited to the fleet as sailors, to the logistics and transportation department of the Ministry of Military Affairs as laborers, and to the Ministry of Agriculture. Assigned to help the families of citizens who lacked farm labor because of the owner's expedition, not only did the port have no merchant ships, even the labor force was almost emptied, and the entire port seemed to have been abolished. Even after the victory of the naval battle, considering the upcoming military operations against Syracuse, for the sake of secrecy, Daves considered repeatedly, despite Mariji’s opposition, still insisted on continuing to block the port until the war with Syracuse again Time.

Only today, a cargo ship re-entered the port, and a large amount of labor urgently transferred from the Military Ministry entered the wharf and unloaded bags of grain from the cargo ship. These grains were all Castellon, The three allies of Heraclea and Metapuntum have made unpaid assistance actions after they learned of the news that "Dionia's food is tight and the people are called for donations."

Kelithorpes has experienced the Peloponnesian War, Asia Minor War, and now the Corinthian War. He knows the great damage to trade caused by war, not to mention that the port of Turiy was blocked before. However, he did not expect such a busy scene in the port of Turri today, and he was surprised to inquire the Turri officials who came to greet him after hearing the news.

After learning the truth, Kerry Thorpes couldn't help being a little surprised: Did Dionia's allies support such a disadvantaged Dionia just because of the victory of a naval battle?

Out of the harbor, through a somewhat empty market, the carriage seated by Kerry Thorpes and a few entourages is about to drive onto the avenue.

Here, Kerry Thorpes and his entourage saw a spectacular sight: the road and both sides of the road have been occupied by countless Dionian people, old and young, male and female, all of them Carrying a wooden box, or carrying a package, or holding a pack beast, full of belongings, marching toward the city of Tuliyi mightily...

Kerry Thorpes was very curious, so he asked the driver.

"It was the people of Amendorara who went to Victory Square to donate their money, so that our alliance has the ability to carry this war to the end and defeat the evil Syracuses! We Turiyi have all gone yesterday. I have donated. I heard that the Bruti are also donating, but not in the Victory Square in Turíy, but in Cosenza..."

Look at the proud look of the coachman, and then look at the people on the avenue talking and laughing, as if they were not going to abandon their own belongings, but to attend an important rally...This made Kerry Thorpes I couldn't help thinking of the scene when the Spartan people sent off their relatives on the battlefield. The words of the farewell message began to echo in my heart: Either come back with victory or be carried back by a shield!

How similar is the situation at this time! The Dionians are not only not afraid of war, but also have the determination to carry it to the end! But unlike Sparta’s hundreds of years of history, this city-state alliance has only been established for less than six years! Keli Thorpes felt a chill. He didn't know if he was worried about his mission, or he was worried about Syracuse's apparently dominant army...
