Davos’ words made Grithorpes deeply disturbed. He said hurriedly: “This is just a condition that Sparta prepared before the negotiation. You can also put forward your terms first, and then we will negotiate together.”

"Greethorpes." Daves said coldly: "Now the war in Great Greece has subsided, and the situation in Sicily is fairly stable for Dionia. I can mobilize more than 200 ships at any time. A three-tiered paddle warship and more than 50,000 soldiers! If I lead this huge fleet to the east, I will reach the Peloponnese in less than three days. Can Sparta stop it?!"

Without waiting for Kerithorpes to answer, he said firmly: "No! Your fleet has been defeated by Konun’s navy in Knidos, and now there are less than a hundred warships remaining, and they are huddled in the Gulf of Corinth. I dare not come out, it is not the opponent of the Dionian fleet! If a fleet full of 50,000 soldiers landed on the coast of Messenia, can your army stop it?!"

The corner of Daves's mouth curled slightly: "No! Most of the Spartan fighters were sent to Corinth, a few were sent to Persia, and the rest were to suppress the domestic Black Rollers. Even if Sparta could gather all of them The warriors of Dionia, I am not afraid at all! I believe that Dionia’s large number and elite legionaries can completely defeat the Spartans you are proud of!"

Daves said, punching his fist on the wooden table with extreme confidence, and with a "boom", Gleethorpes, who had experienced countless life and death struggles, shook subconsciously, and the fist seemed to hit. His heart.

"Of course, I don't need to work so hard." The expression on Daves's face suddenly became relaxed, and he slowed down and said: "I only need to let the army disperse the Spartan troops left behind in Messenia. , Blockade the Tagus Pass, and support Black Laoshi-no, let the Messenians be independent, arm them, and then withdraw the army without consuming too much food or too much The fighting, but armed Messerias, can you Spartans easily deal with it? No, you can’t! The Messian riots made you suffer a lot from the Messian riots decades ago!"

More than suffering. At that time, Sparta had nothing to do with the rioting Messenians, and even begged Athens and other allied gangs to help them suppress these rioting black Laos. Chief General Kemon brought thousands of Athenian citizen soldiers to Sparta to help. He did not expect to receive a lot of suspicion and grievances because of the differences in political system and customs. The soldiers returned home in anger. After being publicized to the public, the people’s anger against Sparta was triggered, leading to the ouster of the pro-Spartan leader Kemeng. Pericles became the new leader of Athens. His tenure lasted for several decades, and he created the city of Athens. Golden age.

Even with the help of the Allies, Sparta failed to wipe out the rioting Messenians. On the contrary, it caused the domestic people's life to be difficult. The Black Rollers were inspired and resisted constantly. In the end, Sparta Had to reach a compromise with the rebels and allowed them to leave the Spartan territory freely...

It was a painful memory of the Spartans, but Daves said so easily that he would repeat the matter again. How could this not make Chrisops startled suddenly, he forced a calm face. The post was a little more stern: "Dionia wants to declare war on Sparta?!"

"It's not that we Dionia wanted to do this, but Sparta was forcing Dionia to prepare for war!" Daves said in a deep voice.

"Forcing Dionia?!" Kerry Thorpes seemed to hear a joke, and he seriously reminded: "Sparta is sincere to negotiate a friendly agreement with Dionia!"

"Syracuse destroyed so many Greek city-states in Sicily, forcibly ordered the Sicilian city-states to obey his orders, but Sparta did not come out to stop it! Dionysius led an army to invade Greece, burn, kill, loot, and do nothing. , I didn’t see you Sparta coming out to stop! Now I Dionia defeated Syracuse to restore order in Greece and Sicily and restore peace in this area. You Sparta poured out to stop it! Could this be the sincerity of the Spartans!" Daves said coldly, his tone gradually increasing.

"Davers, listen to me--" Kerry Thorpes still wanted to explain.

"Why does Sparta want to point fingers at Dionia, Greece, and Sicily!" Daves asked angrily, and interrupted Gleethorpes like a thunder: "It depends on yours. Thousands of warriors?! The tens of thousands of Peloponnesian allied forces?! And those patchwork mercenaries?! With my order, more than 200 three-tiered paddle warships and 50,000 elites can be gathered. Soldiers attacked the Peloponnesian Peninsula and tore the Spartan territory and allies to pieces, so that the arrogant Spartans could understand how to respect a powerful country, so that the greedy and selfish Spartans could understand the Western Mediterranean. It is not Peloponnese, and no external forces are allowed to stir the water!..."

Listening to Daves’ angry and passionate accusations, watching the new king wave his arms vigorously, Kerry Thorpes remembered that Phoebe Das was in the Council of Elders after Phoebe was on mission to Dionia a long time ago. When demanding punishment of Dionia, "Dionia is an aggressive and aggressive city-state alliance. We must find ways to restrict it, otherwise it will cause us trouble in the future!" It is more than trouble. It is simply the biggest threat! Daves in front of him seemed to be a grown-up lion. He no longer hid his minions, but roared at the former Greek overlord, waving his claws and fangs.

At this time, Kerry Thorpes calmed down instead. He heard the clue from Daves’ reprimand: "King Daves, since you are not satisfied with our peace talks, what are your terms? ?"

Daves’ anger was not directed at Gleethorpes, but at the Spartan Council of Elders behind him. Hearing this, he realized that he had achieved his goal and snorted coldly, angry. He didn't restrain, but stopped snarling, and said in a deep voice: "The Greeks in the Western Mediterranean can take care of our own affairs and don't need Sparta to intervene. If Sparta can realize this, I think Dionian will also Will not be interested in Greek affairs in the Eastern Mediterranean. This is the basic condition for the peace agreement between Dionia and Sparta!"

Kelithorpes was shocked and Daves was so ambitious that he wanted to share the Greek world of the Mediterranean with Sparta. Although Sparta did not pay much attention to the Western Mediterranean, they supported Syracuse to help them guard Sparta’s backyard, although as Syracuse continued to grow stronger, Dionysius began to not Obedient, but in the minds of ordinary Spartan fighters, the Syracuses have always been the weaker side of the covenant and are dominated by Sparta, but now Dionia has officially proposed to be equal with Sparta... …Kerry Thorpes looked at Daves in a daze.

Davos stared at Rethorpes with determination in his eyes.

After a while, Kerry Thorpes said: "I understand what you mean. I will relay your words to the Council of Elders, and I believe they will be able to answer quickly."

"Yes, the war in the Western Mediterranean is developing very fast. I am afraid that it will be a completely different situation in a few days. So it is important to hurry up." Daves reminded him, seemingly inadvertently, to let Gleethorpes His heart is tight again.

After sending away the hurriedly leaving Kerry Thorpes, Hernipolis hurriedly asked with concern: "Your Majesty, will the Spartans agree to your terms? And negotiate according to it?"

Daves was not very sure about this, but he smiled slightly and said: "The current Dionia is not afraid of Sparta, and there is nothing to beg of from Sparta. But the current Spartan Da is different from us. I believe that after Kerry Thorpes relays my threatening words to the Spartans, the Spartans will not sleep for a long time."

"But even if the Spartans signed a friendly agreement with us, they will definitely hate Dionia in their hearts!" Henipolis said worriedly: "It's better to take advantage of Sparta's present Get caught in the vortex of war, and destroy it completely according to your majesty's plan just now!"

"Haha, Hennie, I don't see that you hate Sparta more than I do!" Daves laughed.

"Your Majesty, I just...I'm just worried about the future of Sparta..." Henipolis argued eagerly.

Davers patted him on the shoulder and said confidently: "Don't worry, a city-state like Sparta doesn't need us Dionia to take action, it has no future!"

Even if Daves does not remember this period of history clearly, but with his in-depth understanding of the Greek mainland in recent years, he knows: Sparta and Corinth, Argos, The contradictions between Athens and Thebes in China and Greece are irreconcilable, and their wars are bound to continue. Dionia finally ended the war with Syracuse. It urgently needed time to digest and absorb the new land. There was no need to stab the hornet's nest of Sparta. Even if it weakened it, it would not do much for Dionia. Instead, it will create better expansion opportunities for other city-states in Greece, such as Athens and Thebes... or let them contain and kill each other, so that Dionia will have more time to develop.

……………………………………

Unexpectedly, Daves expected, the Spartan Council of Elders received a report from Keli Thorpes. Despite the anger on the surface, the innermost feared: The Dionian army of Great Greece is ready to go. , Sparta was unable to open up a new battlefield.

The Spartans were ridiculed by the Greeks as "venomous snakes hiding behind the Parnon Mountain", which shows that these sixty or seventy-year-old Spartans seem to be arrogant and conservative, but in fact they know how to adapt to the times. Pure egoist.
