"Herolis, the Dionians said they would prevent Dionysius's army from returning to Sicily, are they lying?" Ferosanus asked worriedly.

"Dionysius lost his fleet and was unable to bring his army back to Sicily. Instead of worrying about him, it is better to worry about the army that will be captured. There are not only mercenaries but tens of thousands of us. Famous citizens and sailors, will Dionia return them to Syracuse smoothly?!" What Stacykos raised was actually an important issue that everyone cares about but dare not face. Rollis did the same.

Although they succeeded in the riot with the help of the Dionians, once they were the masters to think about the future of Syracuse, they instinctively increased their vigilance against Dionia. After all, Syracuse Zha and Dionia have a natural conflict in their interests. Although Herolis and the others rebelled because it was the dictatorship of Dionysius, they also hope that Syracuse can continue its previous glory.

Herolis cautiously advised: "These issues will be discussed later. After all, Dionysius has not been wiped out. We cannot relax our vigilance. And Dionia's army has indeed shown goodwill. , They stayed away from Taunis, and so far they have fulfilled the promise they made before. No Dionian soldier has set foot on the land of Syracuse... Of course, we can’t let our guard down! Staceks, you The soldiers on the northern wall must be urged to step up patrols! Master Taisitis--"

Herolis looked at the old sailor again. Several other generals were his like-minded friends. Only this general from the port and born poor, he had to remind him again: "I heard that the port area There are some Dionians who spread rumors everywhere, disturbing the people, and undermining the security and stability of Syracuse. I hope you will pick out these Dionian spies and expel them from Tin. Rakuza!"

"Yes, you should do this! Syracuse’s affairs should be solved by us Syracuse people, without the need for enemies to intervene, because they all have other intentions and want to treat Syracuse. Not good!" Ferosanus immediately expressed his approval loudly.

Tesitis was taken aback. As far as he knew, the Dionians had a close relationship with Herolis, and got along well with the poor in the port. Not only did they organize and unite with the people in the city against Dioni The rule of Husseus's subordinates, and also taught them how to fight for their own interests, this time the distribution of land can be successful, but also from their guidance... But now the generals who have benefited will turn their faces and deny people!

Herolis saw him in a daze, so he reminded loudly: "Now that the rule of Dionysius has been overthrown, we are the generals formally elected by the citizens of Syracuse, representing the will of the people, and The communication between the Dionians should be through formal diplomatic channels, not privately as before. This will not only make the people confused, but also harm the interests of Syracuse!"

Herolis said so upright that Tacitis could not object to it, but could only agree to it.

"Ferosanus, would you like to go to Diornia, discuss with Dioria Senate how to end this war, and return the citizens of Syracuse who were captured by Dioria? "Herolis asked.

"I'm willing to go!" Ferrosanus graciously agreed.

"In case the Dionians make a lot of harsh demands on us!" Falecus, another Syracuse general expressed his concern.

"I think the Dionians will ask for more compensation from the war and...protection of their rights in northern Syracuse... Katane, Leotini and other city-states. "In the past few days, Herolis is not only leading the crowd to clear out the remnants of Dionysius inside and outside the city and stabilizing the order of Syracuse, but also thinking about the next situation of the new Syracuse regime. How to achieve security and development in China. Dionia is a big rock lying in front of Syracuse, unable to go around. Of course, Herolis has thought a lot about this.

"Dionia may even let us dissolve the Sicilian League and return the land of other city-states that we have invaded in the past!" Stacycos reminded loudly.

The expressions of everyone changed, especially Tecites, because the land promised by the committee was taken by Syracuse from several affiliated city states to the south.

Herolis seemed calm: "Negotiating, of course the other party will make a lot of excessive demands, but...Ferrosanus, you have to remember that without the cooperation of our Syracuse, Dai I’m afraid I’m not going too well. For example, we can go to the Siritim to persuade the tens of thousands of troops to surrender and help Dionia to end the war in Great Greece as soon as possible. For example, Syracuse does not approve of the card that Dionia fostered. The Sicilian city-states such as Tanay and Leottini cannot stand firm on the east coast of Sicily..." Herolis became more confident as he talked about it. Over the years, he has had a great deal with Dionia, especially Daves. After a deep understanding, he believed that the young and wise new King Dionia would never be blinded by hatred and made many excessive demands.

Ferosanus had a bottom line after listening, and he promised: "Don't worry, I will not damage Syracuse's interests!"

"When it is time to make a concession, we still have to make a proper concession. After all, we are the one who wants Dionia." Herolis was afraid that Ferosanus would be too upright, annoyed Daves.

"I understand, I'm going to negotiate, not to recite poetry." After Ferrosanus finished speaking, everyone except Tessitis laughed. In the past, Dionysius held poetry banquets many times, and Ferrosanus always prevented Dionysius from getting off the stage, which caused the resentment of the tyrant.

"Falekus, how much money is left in our treasury?" Herolis asked.

"Uh..." Falekus was about to answer, and the guards ran in: "My sires, a Spartan came from Ortigia Island. He said it was a messenger from Sparta. He asked you to Meet."

"Spartan messenger?!" Everyone was surprised.

Finally! Herolis clenched his fists.

……………………………

Phoebe Das walked into the city hall, and none of the ten people in the room he knew. In fact, every time he came to Syracuse, it was Dionysius who treated him kindly in the palace on the island of Olympia. He was accompanied by officials and servants at any time, allowing him to enjoy the treatment of a prince in the east. Almost no one went deep into Syracuse to experience life alone, except for the last time a Carthage army came to the city.

But if he doesn't know others, it doesn't mean that they don't know him. Scarlet cloak, long-haired shawl, thick beard, hook-like nose, cunning and sharp eyes, and a cold and arrogant expression on his face... Herolis is so familiar with this Spartan, he subconsciously Shouted: "Dionysius is back?!"

When these words came out, not only Phoebe Das, but everyone else was shocked.

Although Phoebe Das was a little surprised, his face did not show. He looked at the person standing in the middle of the crowd and asked: "You are?"

"Herolis, the chief general of Syracuse elected by the Citizens' Assembly!" Herolis said loudly and solemnly: "The honorable Spartan messenger Phoebe Das, it is Dionysius. Let you come?"

This is Herolis? ! Phoebe suppressed the curiosity in his heart, did not look at him carefully, but snorted coldly: "What right does Dionysius have to instruct the Spartans? I just want to go back to Sparta to report to the Council of the Elders. The war in Greece, by the way, helped him come here to urge reinforcements, but he did not expect to see a group of thugs messing up Syracuse!"

"We are not thugs, Dionysius is! We just regained the rights and freedoms that should belong to the people of Syracuse!" Ferosanus retorted loudly.

"Oh, freedom!" Phoebedas snorted again with disdain: "When Dionysius led the army to finally recover some of the decline in the battle, only one or two thousand more reinforcements could turn the tide of the battle. , The riot you launched will cause tens of thousands of Syracuse citizens to lose aid and eventually die in Great Greece!"

Some generals were a little ashamed, and some retorted loudly.

"Dionysius started this war by taking the lives of Syracuse citizens at risk. If this continues, the entire Sicilian Greeks will be buried for Dionysius' ambitions! Apo Luo Baiyou, we have stopped the citizens of Syracuse from continuing to make unnecessary sacrifices for this war that does not belong to us. We will also negotiate with Dionia to rescue the citizens trapped in Great Greece!" Stacey Coase said loudly.

"It’s not your war?!" Phoebe Das sneered: "Dionia’s army has captured Taois, the nearest to Syracuse, and Syracuse is already in Dionia. Under the threat of human shields and spears, does this have nothing to do with you?!"

"This is the evil result of Dionysius's constant aggression against others!" Ferosanus said angrily, waving his right hand.

Herolis interrupted his friend's speech: "Emissary Phoebe, these are the internal affairs of Syracuse. We will deal with it in the end, so you can directly state the purpose of your coming here. Right."

Phoebedas’ eyes pierced him like a knife: “Sparta is an ally of Sparta. Of course, Sparta must care about Syracuse’s internal affairs to ensure its political stability. It will damage the interests of Sparta. When necessary, we Sparta will send troops to help the chaotic Syracuse restore order! I did this four years ago, and today I hope you can calm down Consider my suggestion! Spartan's suggestion!"
