I remembered the last time Dionyia was in danger under the threat of Dionysius’s army when he was on mission to Turri. I didn’t expect that a few months later, the Syracuse soldiers needed Dionyians to nod. Agree to be able to go home alive... Everything happened so quickly, as if in a dream.

Kerry Thorpes cheered up and walked into the city.

In this war, the Silitians were either killed or sold. There are not many remaining, but now there are quite a lot of residents in the city, not only the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth The soldiers of the Seventh Legion, as well as the troops led by Hiros and Hironimos, who conquered Lokri and his allies, also returned to Sirri Ting.

Accordingly, the captives of Syracuse are being sent back in batches, and Dionian’s legionnaires should also be disbanded and returned home in batches to ease the pressure on logistical supplies and at the same time alleviate the shortage of labor within the alliance. However, Daves considered that the Great Greek War had just ended and the people of the surrendered city-states were not attached, and feared that there would be repetitions. Therefore, he concentrated his troops in the Celestine, trying to deter the Xiaoxiao, so as to smoothly implement a series of governance that Dionian followed. Great Greece program.

In addition, there is also a special group in the city, that is the group of nearly 1,000 engineers and craftsmen in the Syracuse Army. Daves has been waiting for them for a long time, so he just waited for Sila When the Kuza army surrendered, he immediately ordered the protection of these people, and did not hesitate to break the promise. In the negotiations with Ferosanus, these people were not included in the ranks of release. At the same time, Feroza was forced to be released. Nus agreed to his request: Dionia's fleet sent their family members.

Davers also made various promises to these people, such as citizenship, land, a good research environment, etc., and finally reluctantly "retained" these people.

The Dionian soldiers wandered and chatted on the street in twos and threes, and the expressions on their faces were quite relaxed. Even when they saw Kerry Thorpes, they just looked at them curiously, and did not lead the way. When the patrol leader asked, he did not show the slightest awe, just like seeing an ordinary person. Although Kelithorpes' dress is so distinctive: scarlet cloak, long hair, and thick beard, there is only Sparta in Greece.

Compared with the time when Ke Lithorpes went to Turri a few months ago, the Dionian soldiers behaved more calmly.

Kelithorpes can’t help thinking: maybe because they defeated the mighty Syracuse, Dionia has become the Greek hegemon of the Western Mediterranean, so there is no more Greek city-state to make them afraid... …

Thinking of this, Kriethorpes felt that this was the significance of the Spartan Council of Elders eagerly sending him to Dionia again, and he felt that he was very responsible.

The Dionian soldiers gather more in the arena to participate in or watch the rugby match of the various Legions organized by the senior team officials. The noise in the arena can be heard several blocks away, Ke Rethorpes Despite the curiosity, there is no time to watch.

He was taken to the city hall soon, but was informed: King Davos was receiving visitors in the living room and asked him to wait in the side room.

This wait is more than ten minutes. If it were other Spartan messengers, I would have been angry long ago, and would think it was an insult to Sparta. Kelithorpes was able to restrain, because he did see the visitors, indicating that the Dionians did not lie, not deliberately making things difficult, but unlike other Greek city-states that regarded the Spartan envoy as the most important That's it. In this regard, Krisops can only endure it. After all, this is not the native Greece, Ionian, or Asia Minor, but Great Greece, where Sparta’s influence was already weak, and it was not afraid of Sparta in the past. Dionia!

"Kerry Thorpes, I'm glad to see you again!" Daves showed his enthusiasm after seeing him, and also specifically said: "I made you wait for a long time, I'm so sorry! A general in Corenia, it took me a lot of time."

Corenia? ! There was a move in Krisops' heart: it was the city-state of the Southern Italian League. First, it betrayed Dionia and turned to Syracuse. Later, after the defeat of Syracuse, it rejoined Dionia...

After almost all of Great Greece was conquered by Dionia, Kelithorpes could think of why this unreputable city-state sent an envoy here. He settled down and said: "Daves, congratulations You defeated Dionysius and won the war!"

"Sparta sent you just to congratulate me?" Daves said with a smile on his face but went straight to the subject.

"You have defeated Syracuse, Spartan’s ally, and you have also sent troops to Sicily and occupy some of the Greek city-states in Sicily... What the Spartan Council of Elders showed to Dionia I am concerned about the aggressiveness, send me to Daves...King, do you know whether Dionia is hostile to Sparta?!" Kelithorpes looked at Daves and said the last sentence in a deep voice. talk.

Kelithorpes’ words made Daves’ expression serious, and he said seriously: “I’ve told you Phoebe Das who helped Dionysius invade my Great Greece before. As long as Sparta has no malice against Dionia, Dionia has no malice against Sparta. I have no interest in the land on the other side of the Adriatic Sea."

"Sparta certainly does not have any hostility to Dionia!" Grithorpes immediately made a solemn statement: "Sparta helped Syracuse because we have a covenant with Dionysius. At the time of the establishment of this covenant, Great Greece did not have the Dionian Alliance. We had to act in accordance with the oath of Hercules, but this will never happen again from now on!"

Daves immediately tasted something from the words of Krethorpes, and raised his eyebrows: "Sparta gave up Dionysius?"

Greethorpes did not answer directly, but suggested: "Daves, since neither of us is hostile, do you think we should make an agreement to avoid Sparta and Diony Two powerful city-states and city-state alliances in Asia were involved in meaningless wars because of unnecessary frictions and conflicts."

It’s rare that when Davers met the guests, Hernipolis, who didn’t interrupt, looked at Gu Lithorpes at this moment, and then at Daves, his expression was agitated: Sparta acknowledged Dioni. Ya has an equal status with it, and is actively seeking a peace agreement from Dionia? ! !

Davers still looks calm, he didn't even consider this so-called glory, but continued to ask: "What kind of agreement?"

It has always been other Greek city-states that go to Sparta to beg for agreements and covenants. According to the situation, the elders of Sparta put forward various harsh conditions to obtain benefits for Sparta. They have to take the initiative to seek agreements as they are today. Being forced to show his cards first is a bit unaccustomed to Kerry Thorpes, but the terrible situation Sparta is facing now forces him to bow his head. Even if he feels aggrieved in his heart, he still has to be friendly: "Spartan Bada hopes to sign a long-term peace agreement with Dionia. The two sides will maintain peace, not invade each other, and will not participate in hostile actions by other city-states against each other!" At this point, Kerry Thorpes paused.

Davos understands that Sparta has this proposal, I am afraid that Dionia will join the anti-Spartan alliance. It seems that Sparta's situation is not very good.

Seeing that Davers’s expression remained unchanged, Keli Thorpes couldn’t guess what he was thinking. He took a secret breath and continued to state the terms of the Council of Elders: “At the same time, Sparta will force Sila. Cuzha accepted the armistice and made war compensation to Dionia. He also hoped that Dionia would not overly persecute Syracuse and its allies, and stop further encroaching on Syracuse’s interests. After all, Sparta is still tin. Rakuza's allies have been in friendly exchanges for decades..." Kerry Thorpes said here and looked at Daves again.

Davos still doesn't see the joy or anger on his face, but the clerk next to Hernipolis couldn't help saying: "Syracuse has signed a peace agreement with us, Sparta...Sparta What right do we have to interfere with Dionian’s handling of the aftermath of this war!"

Kerithorpes ignored Hernipolis. Seeing that Daves was still silent, he continued: "In addition, Tarantum was instigated by Syracuse this time, and he was Asia launched a war, and they have been punished by the gods. Now aliens are besieging this great city-state, and the land of the Greeks is being occupied by aliens! Tarantum has realized the mistakes he made earlier and is willing to Pay a large amount of war reparations to Dionia in order to get your forgiveness. As the mother state of Tarantum, Sparta must protect the city Sparta, which is connected with our blood, and hope Dionia can be released. The captives of Tarantum give Tarantum the ability to resist the attack of aliens and become a barrier to the east of Great Greece again!"

"At this time, the Spartans are concerned about the safety of Great Greece!" Hernipolis mocked angrily: "Dionysius led the army to invade Great Greece, burned, looted, and even slaughtered Siritim. As the people, why didn’t you Spartans come out to dissuade you! Tarantum broke the covenant and suddenly attacked the land of Dionia, where are you!..."

Kerithorpes did not hear these words, and only said to Daves: "This is the negotiation conditions formulated by the Spartan Council of Elders after many discussions. The specific rules need to be discussed with Dave. King Si, you have further negotiations."

"This is the sincerity of Spartan's negotiation. There is no need to talk about it." Davos's calm tone was like the sea before the storm, and he stared at Grithorpes, his eyes like sharp blades. There was a cold light: "Kelithorpes, in Persia, you and I are comrades in arms. We were born and died together. If you visit me as a private person today, I will treat you with hospitality! But as a Spartan messenger, I can only say Sorry!"
