"What a sacred kingdom of Dionian is in the Western Mediterranean, in Italy!" Daves did not show his dissatisfaction because his son opposed to launching a war against Persia. Instead, he laughed and looked at his son with full eyes. It’s relief: "Klotokataques, I hope you will remember the words you just said, and let your children and grandchildren remember them in the future, concentrate on governing the Western Mediterranean, the Holy Kingdom of Dionian In order to have peace and longevity!"

"Yes!" Croto Kataks responded politely.

"But Dionia wants to attack Persia, not to covet its wealth and land, but to turn passive to active, seize the favorable opportunity of its weak national power, and completely defeat it. Then it will be based on Circumstances, either supporting a few puppets in Persia, or splitting them into multiple countries to reduce the threat to the kingdom... Compared with the direct annexation of the land, these methods should be more effective and less laborious."

Davos said calmly: "As for the difficulties you mentioned about the attack on Persia, there are no difficulties and no accidents in any war that Dionia has experienced in the past! It's just that it faces Persia. It’s just a little bit more difficult. And why do we Dionia able to win and defeat our opponents every time? It’s because we attach great importance to each opponent and have meticulous planning and preparation, so we have more advantages.

Since the establishment of the kingdom, Persia is the only strong enemy left in the entire Mediterranean. Artaxerxes and I understand that there must be a battle between the two sides, so he would instigate the city-states in Greece to unite against us. When the rebellion broke out in Asia Minor, I thought about sending troops to attack the Persian mainland. But at that time, the Greek War had just ended, and our armaments and materials had been consumed very much. The Greek alliance had just been established and needed to be consolidated. Thessaly had just been conquered. It takes time to digest...so I had to cancel this idea.

However, the Ministry of Military Affairs has always targeted Persia. In the past few years, it has been conducting military training and weaponry improvement against Persia, and it has accumulated many advantages over Persia today. Therefore, the offensive plan for Persia can no longer be delayed!

I believe-with Hades's blessing, we will be able to win in the end! "

Daves said categorically, and Sedorom fully understood in his heart: Sure enough, the attack on Persia was meant by His Majesty Daves, and it was only for the military department to propose it, and he might even contact Pakistan in advance. Gülle and Asistus had all discussed, and they played a scene with everyone in the palace hall.

Sedorum's gaze swept across Olivers and Plintors, then at Baggul and Asistes, then lowered his eyes and said nothing.

At this moment, Daves sighed and said in a low tone: "Yesterday, I went to visit Amintas. He could not sit and stand at all because of the recurrence of an old injury on his body. He could only lie in bed and talk. I speak... He and I talked a lot about the past, especially the adventures in Persia that year.

He said,'He has gone from being a vagrancy with nothing to becoming a heavy minister of the powerful Mediterranean kingdom. He has no regrets in his life. The only regret is that... may no longer be able to see the Dionian army attack Persia and take back the old war. The bones of the mercenary companions who died in a foreign land will avenge the Persians who chased us like cattle and sheep..."

Speaking of this, Daves sighed deeply again: "...Amintas' words touched me a lot!...I still clearly remember that we worked so hard to escape from Persia. , Rest in Byzantium. Burcos, do you remember? You came to Byzantium not far away and wanted to hire us to Turri to fight against the Lucarians. I agreed--"

The Minister of Agriculture Burkos stood up tremblingly and said with excitement: "Your Majesty, of course I remember! I heard that a Greek mercenary fought in Persia for thousands of miles and successfully returned to the Aegean Sea, so I believe that as long as If you can hire this army, you will definitely be able to defeat the Lucanians, but the mercenary leaders rejected my invitation one after another. Just when I was about to feel desperate, it was your Majesty that you agreed to my request without hesitation. I hope! But who would have thought that this small invitation would have created a powerful kingdom and changed the pattern of the entire Mediterranean!"

Davos recalled the past and was deeply moved: "Yes, no one can predict the world in a few decades... So at that time, the Spartan army and the Byzantines were afraid of accepting Turri’s invitation. We took the opportunity to cause chaos. , Put forward a demanding request,'Unless we take off our armor, put down our weapons, and enter the Byzantine city naked, we will be allowed to go to the port and leave by boat.'

The former leaders of the mercenaries in Persia used to be in Persia because they blindly believed the words of the Persian generals and entered the Persian camp with bare hands to negotiate and were killed. Therefore, the mercenaries were very wary of this, so I tried my best to force them. Persuaded them... Then on that day, we put down our weapons and walked into Byzantium, but we were humiliated by Spartans and the Byzantines in every way. The road to the port was really hard to follow! ……"

"Your Majesty, I also remember that day very clearly!" Olivers, with moist eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "They call us nasty bastards. Let us get out of Byzantium and don't defile their land. Some people also threaten us that if we don’t run faster, they will chop up our corpses and feed the dogs... Not only do they curse, they also throw all kinds of debris at us!

I was standing by your Majesty’s side at the time. I saw with my own eyes that you were hit by a few rotten fruits and your face was a little swollen, but you endured it... After we got on the boat, many people were angry. Nanping, swear in the name of a god, one day to return the humiliation suffered to the Byzantines! ……"

It was the first time that Cloto Kataks heard his father talk about the bitter past decades ago. He felt the same with his fists tightly, and was about to say something.

Daves’ eyes quickly swept over the grief-stricken Olivers and Alpunes, then looked at the other people with solemn expressions, and said with a solemn tone: “It’s these who have gone through hardships and sufferings. The spurned mercenaries came to Great Greece in embarrassment. They fought **** and struggling to make the sacred kingdom of Dionia today! They are the founders of the kingdom, but we owe them an explanation!

Mercis, Spitt, Zantiparis... They have left this world, and Amintas, Alexis, Phillips... In a few years, I’m afraid they will also move forward. Their footsteps, is it to make the heroes of these kingdoms go to the Elysee with regrets!

What's more, in the Dionian army, they are most familiar with the combat characteristics of the Persian army, and they are also the most familiar with the geography and customs of Persia. Shouldn't we take advantage of some of them to be able to fight in armor, Launching an attack on Persia in time not only solved the hidden dangers of the kingdom, but also returned their wish!

The elites of the kingdom, agree or disagree, please give your opinion immediately! "

After a moment of silence in the main hall, many ministers such as Cloto Catacs, Asistus, Cipros, Anta Auris, Haka, Bagul rushed to respond loudly: "Your Majesty , I agree that the kingdom will declare war on Persia after the Games!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Daves looked at the excited Olivers, Asistes and others, stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "Since everyone agrees, then attack Persia. That’s it!"

He paused, and then said: "I read the report of the organizing team for the Games. The city-states of the Greek League that accepted the invitation will send the most important officials of their government to participate. It is just this opportunity to convene a Greek The high-level meeting of the alliance, and they reached an agreement to form a coalition to deal with Persia together! This matter will be arranged by Tapirus."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After deciding on the most important thing, Daves looked at his son again, and said in a deep voice, "Clotokatax, the few questions you just mentioned about the expedition to Persia ,'The distance is too far, the kingdom cannot get the latest news on the frontiers of the battlefield in time, nor can it deliver new instructions in time, and the leading generals dare not call the shots without authorization in the face of complex situations... etc. These issues are indeed worthy of our attention, but The solution to the problem is also very simple, that is, I personally lead the troops out!"

Everyone was taken aback.

Sedorum blurted out: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible—"

"What can't you do!" Daves interrupted him stiffly, and said confidently: "Since I came to Great Greece, I personally led my troops and conquered Lucania and Crotone. , Syracuse, Mesapi and Pucheti, Rome, Carthage, won one victory after another, only to help the kingdom through the most difficult period and gradually become stronger...

The war that is about to begin with Persia is undoubtedly important to the kingdom. It is related to the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the rise and fall of the kingdom. Besides me, who else can take on such an important mission and have the confidence to get the final Victory? ! "

Some savvy ministers have heard what Davos said: Dionia will use all the troops of the kingdom to attack Persia, and there is a certain anxiety in handing such a huge force to the hands of a general . What's more, after the victory, great glory was added to the generals of the army, and this anxiety was even greater... Therefore, it is safest to be led by the king himself.

Klotokatax is of course aware of this problem, but he still worriedly suggested: "Persia's environment and climate are different from those of the kingdom. This is another battle of thousands of miles. It will definitely be more exhausting, sire...Father. , You are old, you shouldn’t do such an arduous expedition anymore, let me go for you!"
