"I promised those big people to send you safely to Delos. Although I, Sturus, always speaks for words, don’t make trouble for me, otherwise I will be annoyed by me, so I will send you off. Feed the fish in the sea!" The owner said viciously while paddling.

"I don't like people pointing fingers at me!" The man suddenly said sharply, "Tell you, I won't go back to lying down in that smelly boat! If you are not happy, do it now You can push me into the sea."

The man spoke with a sense of majesty, and the owner of the ship did not dare to make contact with his sharp eyes. He muttered a few words in his mouth, and then immersed himself in paddling.

After a while, he saw the man staring at the shore motionlessly, and couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked, "Hey, who are you? Why is it called Callistratus? , Efekratus... these generals are all coming to the dock to see you off?!"

"Because... I am their creditor!" The man said angrily, and then said meaningfully: "Also because I am Dionia's mortal enemy!"

This is indeed the case, because this man is Jason. After he fled into the city of Athens, the generals of Athens treated him with courtesy, hired the best doctors to treat him, and vacated a luxurious house for his wounds, but they hoped that he would take command of the mercenaries. Temporarily handed over to the General Executive Committee.

People had to bow their heads under the low eaves, and Jason, who was like a bereaved dog, could only agree. As a result, nearly 8,000 mercenaries became the main force to resist the attack of the Dionian army and suffered heavy losses. That was the elite force that Jason spent many years of hard work and countless money to cultivate, and he was very loyal to Jason.

However, after Jason learned of the result, he did not show any complaints. Instead, it made the top Athenians a little embarrassed. Therefore, when Athens decided to surrender to Dionia, Kalisstratus was with Yia. Song talked, and made it clear: willing to take the risk to help Jason escape from Athens, because once Athens surrenders to Dionian, the Dionian is likely to claim this Sesali Tagus.

Regardless of whether the Athenians are guilty or unwilling to create a little trouble for the Dionians, Jason knows that he has no more choices.

At this moment, Jason stared at the coast that was constantly beating by the waves, remembering that his life's hard work was ruined, and even forced to stay away from his homeland, with immense regret and regret in his heart, and couldn't help but want to go crazy. . Suddenly he knelt down, put his hands on the side of the boat, and put his head directly into the sea...

The owner was startled, and hurriedly dropped the oars, ran over to pull him up, and shouted: "Get up quickly, don't be stupid, don't jump into the sea!"

Jia Song supported his hands and stood up suddenly. The cold water temporarily extinguished the anxiety in his heart. He wiped his head and face vigorously with his hands, and then threw the seawater in his hands towards the owner of the ship.

Seeing the ship owner dodging in embarrassment, he laughed, then looked up at the rising sun, and said viciously: "Hurry up and row, I'm going to the east!"

The surrender of Athens is like toppling the dominoes, so that all the Greek city-states who are still waiting and watching will no longer have a fluke. Ellis, Phokes, Locris, Arcadian city-states, and those Ionian city-states that originally belonged to the Athenian Maritime Alliance... have sent envoys to the Dionian military camp in Attica to Croto Kataks expressed goodwill and offered to join the New Greece Alliance.

Under such a trend, the city-states of Achaia, Euboea, and even Crete, which have remained neutral since the beginning of the war (Crete was forced by the Diorian 2nd Fleet, Under the order of the Ministry, Midolades led the Second Fleet and sailed around Crete every day)...and also made a gesture of willingness to hold Dionia as the leader.

In this way, Delphi, who has not had any movement, is particularly eye-catching. Many people speculate that Delphi, as the holy land of the entire Greek world, may have to fight to the end with the heretical Dionia.

But in fact, the priests of Delphi were already in a panic, because there were rumors that Dionia was preparing to send troops to destroy Delphi and take away all the gold and silver from the holy treasury.

So when they received a definite news: Dionian Prince Cloto Catacs was coming to visit Delphi under the **** of the army, all the priests and people of Delphi felt that they were going to The catastrophe is approaching, some pack their packages and prepare to flee abroad, while others have made the determination to protect the Temple of Apollo and sacrifice their lives...

The eyes of all the people of the local Greek city-states are focused on Cloto Kataks, and they are also worried.

After this distinguished Prince Dionia entered Delphi, although he violated Delphi’s traditions due to security issues, he led the court guard up the mountain and entered the temple, but he did not meet the priests. On the contrary, he has always been amiable. Not only did he solemnly worship Apollo, but he also offered to build a holy library in Delphi to store the gold and silver donated by Dionia.

The priests of Delphi temporarily put down their guard and began to negotiate with Klotokattax.

Klotokatax made a promise to the priests: After Dionia became the leader of the new Greek alliance, Delphi's status among the native Greek population will not change! And the Dionysian Kingdom will not only protect Delphi’s status as the "most sacred oracle place" in the Greek world, but also make it the greatest oracle place in the entire Dionysian Kingdom. In the future, Dionysian The areas conquered and controlled by the Asian Institute will also carry out this promise!

This big pie suddenly smashed from the sky made the Delphi priests ecstatic. You must know that since the rise of the Kingdom of Dionia, the city-states and people who came to Delphi to worship and ask for oracles have become more and more At present, Delphi’s sacred status among the Greek people has been greatly reduced. The promise made by Dionia can not only regain Delphi’s former glory, but also rely on Dionia’s strong strength. , So that Delphi's influence extends beyond the Greek world to the vast Mediterranean.

Just when the priests were overwhelmed with joy, Cloto Catacs made a request: But Delphi must approve the "Hadith" promulgated by the main temple of Hades in Dionian "Content, admits that Hades is the head of the Greek gods, and nominally accepts the jurisdiction of the main temple of Hades.

The priests were stunned, but on the one hand, there was the Dionian army sharpening their swords in the territory, and on the other, there was a brighter future. Delphi had no more choices.

The priests accepted the request made by Cloto Kataks, and soon began to act. They held a grand sacrificial ceremony, all Delphi people were asked to participate, and then Cloto In front of the crowd, Katax asked for an oracle from the Temple of Apollo.

The old Pythia danced for a long time in the sulphurous oracle, almost fainted. After coming out, she declared in public: She saw the great Apollo leaping out of the mountains to the west, driving the golden car. Sitting in the car was Hades, the black-haired Hades holding a double-stranded fork, and he was talking cordially with another young man wearing a crown. Ocean...

Everyone present immediately made their own interpretations of this oracle. It didn’t take long for a version of the oracle interpretation that everyone agreed with gradually spread in the Greek mainland: "Western mountains" refers to the Italian peninsula and Dai The Kingdom of Oonia, because Italy in the west of the Adriatic Sea is indeed a peninsula spanning north and south by the mighty Apennines, and the native Greek people often mock the Dionians as barbarians, and barbarians are often mountain races; "The golden car jumped out of Italy" means that Apollo recognizes the Kingdom of Dionia, not to mention that he is still driving for Hades, which is already implying that Apollo has changed its flag and is based on Hades; as for the car. There is no doubt that the other young man is King Dionia, because the Western Mediterranean has long been widely circulated that King Davos is a descendant of Hades, and Delphi publicly acknowledged this statement on behalf of the Greek mainland. ; And the last scene metaphors that the Kingdom of Dionia will create unprecedented glory, and Hades and Apollo will also share the glory...

It can be said that the oracle made by Pythia is very thoughtful, but this oracle has set off a spiritual storm in the minds of the native Greeks. In contrast, what Delphi announced next was more acceptable to the people: Delphi recognized the sacred name of the Kingdom of Dionian, it was undoubtedly the Kingdom of Greece, and it would become an important part of the Holy Alliance. And are fully qualified to participate in the Pythia Games.

In any case, Delphi was saved, and it was a happy ending. The Greeks were relieved. Of course, some city-states will feel disappointed and annoyed, but to no avail.

Clotokatax achieved a satisfactory result in Delphi. He did not take a rest, and then publicly announced that he would visit Olympia.

It's the Olympian's turn to feel nervous.

Different from Delphi, Olympia has never been an independent holy place. For hundreds of years, it has been falling back and forth between Ellis and Pisa. Argos, Sparta and Athens also often point fingers at it. ; It does not have the huge influence of Delphi among the people, perhaps because the moody, lustful and lustful personality of Zeus, the **** king, does not appeal to the Greek people.
