"Shut up! Drag this Lukalia traitor down, chop it up and feed the dog!" Sinsingnag exclaimed. He must not allow Hermon to preach the benefits of the Greeks. This might Disrupt the fighting spirit of the tribe.
"Kill me? Good! Dionian's Archon Daves is the best guardian! When you attacked his camp, he annihilated the Lucanian forces! Crotone invaded In his territory, he captured all the Crotones as prisoners! You kill me a citizen of the Diorian League, believe it or not, tomorrow the army of the Diorian League will kill Grumentum Down the city!" Hermon allowed the soldiers to come up and hold his hands, shouting fearlessly.
Sincinnag's face twitched a few times, and he changed his words and said, "Knock him...get him out of me!"
Hermon smiled secretly in his heart. He had long heard that the leader of Picosis was a soft guy who was bullying and fearful of hardship. As expected, if he changed to Akpiru, he would not voluntarily recommend himself to die: "Did you Don’t want to hear the good news from me?!"
Sincinnag's hand held out in the air.
"What good news?!" the leaders asked urgently.
Hermon pushed away the guards and said loudly: "As a messenger of the Dionian League, I was appointed by the Senate to discuss the possibility of achieving peace with Grumentum and Pixis!"
Sincinnag was shocked when he heard the words.
"The Greeks won't attack us?!"
"Great! We don't have to give up Grumentum!"
"Can't believe the Greeks! If you want peace, why do you want to occupy Niutum?!"
……
There was a sense of relief in the fierce debate among the leaders.
"Stupid Picosis, don't you forget the old saying of our Lucanians.'You are not afraid of evil wolves with a big stick in your hand.'" Hermon laughed: "Dioria If the Alliance does not occupy Niutum, would you be willing to sit down and negotiate with the Alliance?! The Greeks who love the sea are actually not interested in the land of Lucaria. There are mountains everywhere, the land is barren, and the roads are terrible. , It’s very difficult to do business or travel. If it weren’t because the Lucanians always attack Turei through Nyutum, the Alliance had occupied Nyutum and blocked you in order to protect the territory from encroachment. The road going south..."
The chiefs thought that it was true, and stopped talking.
Sincinnag asked again uncertainly: "The Greeks really plan to make peace with me?!"
"Of course it's true! Otherwise, what am I doing?!" Hermon said angrily.
Sincinnagdon felt relaxed, he leaned back in his chair and said, "Is Niutum still messed up, afraid that I will take the opportunity to attack?"
"Big Chief, are you the opposite?" Hermon sneered.
Sincinnag coughed awkwardly, and said: "Well, let me hear about your Dai...Diorian League conditions."
…………………………
Both parties have a willingness to make peace, so the negotiation goes smoothly.
One day later, an agreement was reached: Dionian City-State Alliance, Picosis and Grumentum are bounded by the defile between the two rivers, and they will not infringe each other. Both parties can open the market at the junction. ; The Alliance of Dionia must not support the enemies of Picosis. There are small tribes or wandering mountain people who are not under the control of Picosis to seek refuge in Niutum, and Picosis shall not stop...
The term of the agreement is one year. Originally, Sinsingnag hoped for a period of five years, but Hermon refused. His reason was that many people in the alliance expressed doubts about whether the Picosis could abide by the agreement. If Picosis spends one year His good performance has won the trust of the veterans of the Dionian League, and the next renewal period will be extended.
Sincinnag is angry, but there is no way, because he needs this peace agreement more than the Greeks, so that he can deal with the hostile tribes in Grumentum without any worries, and then deal with the acceptance. As for Potentia of Lusau, as for the Alliance of Dionians, it was at least after he became the leader of the Lucarians...
………………………
Before the signing of the alliance between Dionian League and Cincinnag, Avinojis of Laos had reached a new agreement with the alliance: First, Laos agreed to build Turri-Niutu M-Laos Avenue, and is willing to provide a large amount of labor (the original large number of Greek slaves in Laos, mainly descendants of Sybaris, are now free people, but Avinojis cannot allow them to obtain Land can only be sold by labor. In addition, the Lukarias in the previous city of Laos were either killed or turned into slaves). At the same time, Avinojis also intends to provide all road repair funds. In this regard, Davers politely declined his kindness, and finally proposed that the two parties should share it equally.
Second, without the permission of Laos, the Dionian Alliance shall not convert the Laos people who enter or escape into the Alliance into the citizens of the Alliance, and shall be responsible for returning them.

At the southernmost tip of the Peloponnese Peninsula, there is a piece of land called Lassidi Dream in ancient times, and now it is an area called Laconia. This piece of land is surrounded by some natural barriers. It faces the sea in the east and the south, and the dark and terrible mountains stand in the north, and the desolate and tall Taigotos mountain range lies in the west. Its five mountain peaks towering like sharp claws, even though It is often covered with snow in the hot summer. The small plain under the protection of these dangerous terrains is pierced from north to south by the turbid and turbulent Orotas River. Among the huge red rocks on the cliffs of the promontory at the mouth of the sea is the one who once dazzled Greece and triggered the ten-year Trojan War. Helen’s tomb, and up the river mouth, reached a city without walls on the middle of the river, its name is Sparta.
This is a rather rustic city. Although it seems to occupy a large area, except for the temple, the other buildings are low and simple, but there is a kind of quietness and peace that is unique to the countryside, without the noise of market vendors. , And there is no playfulness of theatrical actors. In the early morning, people in the city wake up early. Black Laoshi goes to work in the fields, the housewives take care of housework at home, and the men go out to participate in military training and others to participate in political affairs.
The Council of the Elders and the Supervisory House are the two major authorities in Sparta. And on this day, both institutions are dealing with affairs concerning Asia Minor at the same time. For the powerful Supervisory Council, Tiburon’s rants about Grythorpes in Ephesus were destined to be a joke. The evidence of his malfeasance is solid, not to mention that the messengers of the Allied States of Asia Minor are still waiting in Sparta. As a result of the trial, no one dared to intercede for him. He hardly even had the opportunity to argue. He was fined and sentenced: exile.
At this point, Tiburon will be driven out of Sparta.
In the council of elders, except that King Acis was unable to be present due to a serious illness and entrusted his younger brother Agsilius to participate temporarily on his behalf, the other 29 elders all attended the meeting on time and discussed the Alice city state first. Aftermath.
The Alice city-state is located near the Olympia region of the Peloponnese. It has always been supported by Sparta to win the right to host the Olympia Games from another city-state, Pisa. Who knows, during the Peloponnesian War, it took refuge in Athens, and also prevented the Spartan king Acis who went to Olympia to sacrifice to the Temple of Zeus because of the oracle of Delphi the year before...
These things finally angered the Spartans. Six years after the surrender in Athens, they declared war on Ellis and sent the humiliated King Acis to invade Ellis, if it weren’t for the earthquake. , So that Akis thought it was not a good omen and took the initiative to withdraw. Then the war was over at the beginning of the year. At the urging of the inspector, a few months later, Akis led the troops to successfully invade the territory of Ellis, burned, looted, destroyed fields and buildings, and captured a huge number of livestock and slaves, and finally came to Ellis. ——This city, which also has no city wall protection, shivered under the threat of Spartan's powerful force. The people rioted out of fear. In the end, although the riot was suppressed, the national strength of the Ellis city-state was greatly damaged.
Akis did not take the opportunity to capture Ellis. After all, this is an ancient Greek city-state. As the host country of the Olympia Games, it enjoys a reputation among the Greek city-states. Akis withdrew his troops back to the country, and soon fell ill.
After discussion, the elders unanimously agreed that if Alice, who is greatly damaged, does not want to be attacked by Sparta next year, he will definitely come to peace talks. Sparta must force Ellis to allow the towns of Frixxa, Epitalion, and Epion to be independent from its attachments, further weakening its strength and making it no longer capable of resisting Sparta. If Ellis agrees, then Sparta also allows it to have the right to host the Olympia Games and jurisdiction over the location of the Temple of Zeus in Olympia.
The reason why the Spartan elders are unwilling to return the right to host the Olympia Games and the jurisdiction of the Temple of Zeus to Pisa (because the Temples of Olympia and Zeus are within the territory of Pisa), it is because they believe that Pisa has been After being separated from the territory of Pisa by Sparta a hundred years ago, the Olympia region has been resentful towards the Spartans, and the relationship between the Pisa and Spartan's mortal enemy, Algos, has always been very good.
After dealing with Ellis, Elder Lysander stood up and said: "Elders, I believe everyone has read the report sent by Kerry Thorpes in Ephesus. The Superintendent hopes that we can do it as soon as possible. Come up with a handling suggestion."
An elder muttered dissatisfiedly: "The Supervisory Yuan is too domineering now, and it has commanded us!"
Everyone on the scene seemed to have not heard it, only King Pausanias said abruptly: "That's not because of Lysander's support!"
Lysander was also unheard of.
