This tone made Margo feel very harsh. His eyes were wide open, but then he remembered Preta Kuba’s instructions, and immediately lowered his gaze, and asked as calmly as possible: "I heard that the Senate sent you Mention the truce to the Dionians. I wonder how the King Dionians responded?"

The sudden explosion of Margot's destructive aura made El Accra frightened, and he quickly replied: "King Dionia is very willing to negotiate a truce with Carthage!"

"This doesn’t mean that the Dionians know that they are inferior to us, and that they are afraid that they will fail if they continue to fight, so they want to maintain their current victory through truce negotiations. Are we willing to be in such a situation? Stop fighting with the Dionians?!" Margot asked loudly.

El Accra froze for a moment, then murmured: "Now... Judging from the current situation, Carthage is at a disadvantage!"

Marco looked at him coldly for a while, then suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and said in a commanding tone: "You come with me!"

El Accra staggered and was pulled out of the big tent by Margo, feeling both puzzled and a little frightened in his heart.

Marco took him to a relatively empty place in front of the big tent, pointed to the back and said, "What do you see?"

El Accra settled down and said blankly: "A city wall under construction...looks like it's very long..."

"It’s not like it, but it’s really long!" Margo said affirmatively: "It will extend from the seaside on the east side of Serinus to the seaside on the west side, connecting the city of Serinus with us. The camps of Onia are all included!"

"When I came, I was surprised, why did you build the wall behind the camp?" El Accra raised his own question.

"Since the Dionians don't dare to fight with us, we can only take the initiative to attack!" Margot looked forward and said in a deep voice, "Our target is Silinus! Linnus is the resident of the Dionian fleet. The Dionian fleet can cruise the western waters every day and block our routes. The Port of Silinus has played a very important role. As long as we can capture it, make Dion The loss of a foothold in western Sicily by the Nia navy will inevitably reduce their navy’s advantage and reduce their threat to the western waters and the African coast. However, because of the importance of Celinus, the Dionians will certainly not give up , They will definitely defend tenaciously. I am afraid that in the future, the main force of the Dionian army will enter Serinus by sea and fight against us..."

El Accra was still happy when he heard the previous words, but after listening to the latter words, he was a little worried: "Isn't this our offense and the defense of the Dionian army again?! Didn't you say this? Will this attack cause great casualties to our soldiers?!"

"The Dionians do have some experience in defending cities, but it is much easier to attack the city of Serinus than to attack the Minoan Mountains!" Margo said confidently: "I passed through with Admika. After several days of analysis and discussion, we decided to build an outer wall to protect our entire camp, so that the army can attack the city with all its strength, and prevent the Dionian army from killing or landing from the east when we are attacking the city. The nearby beach, raided us."

Speaking of this, Margo pointed forward again: "What do you think it is?"

El Accra looked through the gaps in the many tents and saw what was in front of the city of Serinus. He couldn't help but said in surprise: "You want to build an inner wall?!"

Marco looked at the earth wall that had been put on hold for a long time before it was completed, and couldn't help but remember the night when the Dionian army was attacked. He let out a sigh of relief and said, "I will not only build The wall encloses the city of Silinus, and also builds a number of earthen hills based on the inner wall, and then builds a longitudinal wall on the earthen mountain as the foundation, extending forward to meet the wall of Silinus...to At that time, the Diorians would have no defensive advantage, and fighting under the same conditions, we would definitely be able to defeat the Diorians!..."

Hearing this, El Accra felt more confident inexplicably, but he was a little puzzled: "Listen to your plan, Lord Margot, this will be a big project! To build these city walls, as well as earth mountains... …I’m afraid it will take a long time, right?!"

"Don't forget that I have more than 100,000 soldiers!" Margo said proudly: "After receiving the rations from Carthage, they began to build the outer wall. It is now two days, you I already watched the progress of the outer wall when I entered the camp. Do you think it will take a long time to complete my plan?"

……………………………………

Leotizides and Zantiparis led their troops to take down the main city of Syracuse. On the second day, Sicilian Governor Cypros rushed to Syracuse, and Leotizides, Zanteparis, Hiktas, who had just returned to Dionia, and his nephew Zamoratis discussed together how to deal with the captured Syracuse soldiers and urban residents, and how to stabilize the order in the city as soon as possible...

Everyone quickly reached an agreement: Except for a small number of urban residents who have direct relatives with the people in the port area, all the others will become the slaves of the kingdom of Dionia.

The reason for this decision is that Cipros, who has been in Katane for many years, believes that since Syracuse has always been the overlord of Sicily before, even if it is now down, the people of Syracuse always consider themselves Very high, with a dream of restoring the glory of the past in my heart, forcibly pulling such a group of restless people into the rule of Dionian, they may jump out and make chaos when there is an abnormal situation, especially now Dionian The war is at a critical juncture, so it is the safest way to demote them all into slaves and **** them from Sicily.

For Hiktas and Zamoratis, their rebellion led to the eventual fall of Syracuse. The people in the same city are already in the same situation. Of course, they are not willing to live in the same city with them. What's more, after the people in the port area become Dionian citizens, they certainly hope that it is best to live in Syracuse. The land they deserve is also in Syracuse, and most of the land in Syracuse is in the city. Human hands...

So for all parties, the people of Syracuse can only become victims.

At the same time, the officials from various ministries such as finance, household registration, farming, commerce, courts, etc. brought by Cipros have begun to take over the affairs of Syracuse, and count the property and loot obtained, and the housing in the city. , Measure the land of Syracuse, register the people in the port area, and earnestly explain to them the rights and obligations they should have when they become Dionian citizens...

The long-cherished wish of the people in the Syracuse port area for many years is about to be realized. They have shown great enthusiasm. Seventh, the soldiers of the Eighth Army built a tall city wall on the isthmus, which completely cut off the connection between Ortigia Island and the main city. Every day there are warships (from the original Syracuse Fleet) Uninterrupted cruising around Ortigia Island.

Syracuse is undergoing earth-shaking changes, and the people of Taois and Leottini who are not far away from it see them, and they are jealous.

Taunis is located on the seashore and owns very little land. Leoni’s situation is a little better, but it cannot meet the land needs of the growing population. Now they see Thira, which is much worse than theirs. People in the port area of ​​Cuzha can now get fertile land and good houses, and they feel injustice: because they also participated in the battle against Syracuse, their sacrifices are comparable to the people in the port area of ​​Syracuse. Many, but only a small amount of spoils can be distributed. This is unfair!

At the strong request of the people, the top leaders of the two city-states rushed to Syracuse and petitioned Cypros.

Sipoulos looked embarrassed, and said helplessly: Dionia and the allies regarding the distribution of spoils after the victory of the war were strictly written into the covenant, and the land was not included in it. No power to make changes without authorization. Moreover, according to the "Diionian Law", only Dionian citizens can obtain land. To get the land of Syracuse, the people of Taois and Leotini have only one way-to become Dionian citizens. !

The high-level leaders of the two city-states returned without success, but the words of Sipnos were quickly spread in the two city-states under the impetus of the people.

Furthermore, there are some comments that have been quickly spread among the people of the two cities. For example, even if the land in Syracuse is allocated to the people in the port area, there will still be a lot of things left, but Dioni According to this situation, the Asian Senate will allocate other landless citizens of Dionian area to Syracuse, and there will be no extra land by then.

Another example: Becoming a Dionian citizen is much better than becoming a Taunis (Leodini) citizen. Not only do you have to worry about not having land, you don’t have to worry about being invaded by a powerful enemy, you also have the right to become a powerful The pride of the citizens of the kingdom...

More than 10 years ago, when Taunis, Leonid and Katane all became independent from Syracuse’s rule at the same time, the people of these two cities witnessed the conditions worse than theirs. How the people of Katane, regarded as slaves by Dionysius, began to rebuild their homes, how they gradually became wealthy, and how they gained a proud position, so that they had to show respect...for more than ten years, quietly. In the past, the seeds of wanting to become citizens of Dionia had been buried in their hearts unknowingly, and the impact on them caused by the fall of Syracuse this time only finally caused the seeds of this heart to blossom and bear fruit.
