Not long after, the content of the chat among the soldiers gathered in twos and threes changed: "Do you know, I learned an amazing news from Falba, the most trusted servant of Hiktas the day before yesterday. ——"
"What amazing news?!"
"Hiktas secretly received the messenger sent by King Dionia in his living room!"
"What?!"
"Hey, shut your mouth, don't talk nonsense, slander the reputation of Master Hiktas!"
"It’s true! I heard the drunk Falba personally told me in the tavern. He also said that the Envoy of Dionia had brought King Daves’ promise, as long as Master Hiktas led The people in our port area submit to the Kingdom of Dionian, then we can immediately become citizens of the Kingdom of Dionian. Children can also enjoy almost free education, and we can truly perform military service. Light infantry and sailors have no honor at all), can be rewarded based on their achievements in battle, and even be promoted to become generals..."
"Like the Katane now?!"
"Yes, by then we will be citizens of the Kingdom of Dionia just like the Catanes, and we will naturally have the same rights!"
As a neighbor of Katane, the people of the port area have not only witnessed the development of a prosperous city from ruins in the past 10 years, but also learned about the life of the Katane people countless times in the past sea merchants. Privilege and freedom have long been envied in my heart. Many of the citizens of Katane were free people or even slaves living in the port of Syracuse.
They can all lead such a rich life, why can't we? ... the people in the port area have felt puzzled and unwilling more than once, and now it seems that the opportunity is right in front of them, and the audience can't sit still.
"Hiktas agreed?!"
"Hey, if he agrees, we won't be here. But you haven't noticed, is there something wrong with his mood these days?"
"Oh, no wonder I think he is weird these past two days. I met him on the road and said hello to him. He seemed to have not heard him. He lowered his head and was thinking about something..."
"Hey, I said we are citizens of Syracuse, Dionia is our enemy, and Hiktas was right that they did not promise them! He should have arrested the messenger at the time and sent it to the meeting. I will go!"
"Yes, Hiktas is confused. If this matter is let other generals know, he can't say clearly, maybe he will be punished, even the general will not be considered!"
"Don’t be self-righteous, when did those people in the city think of us as citizens of Syracuse? Many of the proposals failed to pass!..."
"That's right! That's right! Since the Syracuse people don't welcome us, why are we here desperately guarding it! Do you know that the life of our port people used to be more miserable and oppressed by the people in the city? Not to mention owning land, not even having the right to participate in the citizens’ assembly. It is only better than slaves. It was with the help of the Dionians that the civilians in our port united and forced the council to make some concessions. Some rights, but do these satisfy us?!"
"If you want to live a life like the Catanes, now is a great opportunity! I heard that the Dionians had captured the fortress of Yuriarus. The people in the council were terrified. They All the men in the city have been sent to defend against the attack by the Dionians, otherwise we will not be transferred to the place considered the most sacred by the city to serve as backups, as long as Hiktas leads us to submit to Dai at this time. Onia, we can help Dionia to win Syracuse and truly become their citizens!"
……
Xiktas once thought that the only Dionian agent lurking in Syracuse was Artemis, but he was wrong. Perhaps in Africa and Iberia, Dionia’s intelligence services are too far away from the whip and have very few manpower arrangements, but close neighbors with an important strategic position like Syracuse have so many grievances with Dionia. How could Aristiras ignore it? There are no less than 10 subordinates who have been arranged to lurk in the port area for more than 10 years, and the number of port people who are influenced by them and have a good impression of Dionia is even more unknown, so Once Artemis and the others began to implement the plan, soon the soldiers in the entire square were talking about "The Envoy of Dionia and Hiktas's Secret Talks."
The first to discover the abnormal situation on the square was not Hiktas, who had been thinking about problems on the platform, but his rival Celekekus in the square. As one of the senior team officers of this unit, he listened to After arriving at the content of the soldiers’ conversation, he was taken aback, but immediately realized that this might be a good opportunity for himself, so he was busy making appointments with several senior team officers who were also at odds with Hiktas and stepped onto the platform, aggressively. Questioning: "Xiktas, it turns out that you have colluded with Dionia and are ready to betray our Syracuse!"
Hiktas, who was in a trance, was taken aback by what Selekelkus said. After a while, he remembered, glaring at the ill-faced Selekelkus and others, and said angrily: " Leikekus, are you fainted for the position of general! Collusion with foreign enemies is a great crime of treason. You slander me like this, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Selekercus was not afraid at all, and sneered: "It's not that I am slandering you, listen carefully with your ears, what are thousands of people talking about this time! They are all witnesses of your judgment of the enemy You don’t need to get angry at me, wait for the council to send someone to... Haha... there is a chance for you to get angry!"
Selekecus laughed wantonly, and took the opportunity to vent his grievances that he had been suppressed by Hiktas. He and Hiktas have been fighting for these years, and he has a better understanding of it, just see Hiktas just now. The change in his expression after being questioned suddenly made him understand: This incident is likely to be true!
Hiktas heard this, his face was uncertain. Before he could make a defense, Selekecus, who had the answer in his heart, was not ready to argue with him anymore. He turned to Going off the stage, preparing to return to the team led by him, waiting for the council to deal with Hiktas, and then he will smoothly take over his long-awaited power, but a group of people blocked his way.
"Zamoratis." Selekercus proudly raised his head and said disdainfully: "Your uncle is done, and there will be no one to protect you in the future. You will fight me again. Don't want to stay in the port, get out of here!"
Zamoratis looked at him coldly: "I want to see who is in the port—"
Before he finished speaking, a person next to him suddenly rushed forward, took out the dagger hidden in his arms, and swiftly stabbed Selekercus in the chest several times.
Selekercus immediately vomited blood and couldn't speak, so he fell to the ground suddenly and died seeing it.
Zamoratis was stunned by the sudden change in front of him, and he didn't react for a while: "You...what are you doing?!"
Several senior team officers who followed Seleikekus were even more panicked, screaming: "Kill! Kill!..." They wanted to turn around and escape, but were led by Artemis who had been prepared. At the same time, they stepped forward and grabbed them one by one.
Then, Artemis patted the assassin's shoulder vigorously, and loudly praised: "Good job! Today is your first work!"
The assassin smiled blankly, the blood splattered on his face and the dark skin intertwined, looked a little scary: "Thank you, boss!"
"Chriscus!" Zamoratis recognized the assassin at this time, very surprised.
This Chriscus came to the port of Syracuse two years ago. He claims to be a refugee from the mainland of Greece. He has been working at the port as a labor to carry goods. He is honest and honest. He always contributes the most and takes the least money. He is often bullied by others. After he heard about it, out of good intentions, he took the initiative to let his subordinates take him to the dock under his jurisdiction and treat him fairly... But he never expected that such an honest and honest person would actually Such a fierce character, it seems that he is still under Artemis... Thinking of this, Zamoratis can't help but shudder.
At this moment, Artemis seemed to know what he thought, and said to him sternly: "Only by doing this can you force your uncle to make up his mind as soon as possible!"
After speaking, he strode towards Hiktas.
Zamorats hesitated for a moment, and followed closely.
Hiktas has already understood the situation on the square clearly, and he has seen the scene that happened just now, facing Artemis who walked closer, he seems relatively calm at the moment: "These are all Did you arrange it?"
Artemis understood what he was referring to and did not respond. Instead, he said: "Selekekus has sent someone to the council to inform, and... you look at it--"
Artemis Finger Square: Some soldiers led by Selekekus saw that their team officer was killed, and angrily wanted to rush to the platform to seek justice, but they were forced by the Zamoratis people Stopped, there has been a conflict between the two sides.
"Not only for yourself, but for the people of the entire Syracuse port area. You must make a decision right away!" Artemis said in a deep voice.
"Do the Dionians really care about the people in the Syracuse port area?!" Hitacs was designed by Artemis, feeling depressed and uncomfortable, and couldn't help but ridicule.
"Uncle!" Zamoratis couldn't help but speak.
