"Regarding the supervision of the implementation of the peace treaty, the cession of land, and the resettlement of the Ellis city-state, because the death of Akis has been temporarily shelved, I recommended to the council to let you be responsible. I wonder if you are willing to go?" Agcilius said sternly.

"I am willing!" Phoebe Das blurted out. During this time, apart from military training and attending the king’s funeral, he had nothing else to do. He was unavoidably disappointed when he watched others being dispatched overseas to perform important tasks. . Now, Agsilius put such a fat man in front of him, how could he not be moved and grateful!

"Thank you very much, King Agsilius, for your trust in me! Your becoming our king is a gift from Zeus to Sparta!!"

Hearing the flattery of the talented Phoebe Das of the younger generation of Sparta, Agsilius smiled.

………………………

After Agsilaos and Phoebedas left, there were only a few people in the canteen. A young man with linen on his head sneaked up from behind the porch and looked at Ag. Silous's back was full of hatred.

He hurried to get his share of the meal, and the chef who distributed the food jokingly said, "Leotizides, how do you dress like this, like a woman."

A Piriasi dared to make fun of him. If Leotizides had beaten him angrily before, he might even cut off his hands and feet. At this time, the son of the former king Without arguing, I found a corner, sat down, chewed on the bread, and for some reason, tears rolled in my eyes: the failure of the election for the throne made him a joke of Sparta, and his usurper The uncle gave half of the family property left by his father to the tribes who were living in difficulties, and thus won the support of the royal family. While those people praised Agsilius for his righteousness, some people suggested that he and his mother should be driven out. Spartan, the reason was,'He and his mother were not Spartans, but they became a disgrace to Sparta'. Although the Council of Elders rejected this absurd proposal, the Spartans looked at Leotizides with more and more contempt.

"What the **** did I make?! Goddess of Destiny wants to punish me like this?! In order to prove myself, I have participated in the "Agog" (the Spartan boy’s cruelty that the king’s heirs did not have to participate in since childhood). Military training) and always perform well in every training. I always try my best to be at the forefront in every battle. My debates always leave my peers speechless, and my articles are better than them. But why?! Why?! They don’t see these, but they always use these rumors to humiliate me and my mother!! Damn Agsilius! Damn the Council of Elders! Damn...Akis, if It's not that you are bad to your mother, so how can you...There are so many rumors!..." In the end, Leotizides started to complain about his dead father: "I can't bear such humiliation anymore! I want to take my mother away from this disgusting place! I want to leave Sparta!!!..."

Leotizides finally made up his mind, and his steps became vigorous and vigorous again. When he was about to reach his destination, he saw many people around his door, all shaking their heads and sighing with solemn expressions. An uneasy feeling arose in my heart.

"Leotizides!" A tribe who is usually well-connected saw him and said sadly: "Your mother... committed suicide..."

…………………………

The team of Diopantos ransacked on the territory of Siriting, and the defenders of Siriting were forced to go out of the city to meet the enemy, and the Lokerians retreated early.

By the next day, the Rockies appeared again.

When the Silitian garrison pursued the coast as they did yesterday, they found that there were nearly two thousand Lokri soldiers standing by.

The Siliting garrison, chasing all the way and being out of array, quickly retreated. Under the chasing of the Lokri cavalry, the Siliting people paid hundreds of casualties and hid in the city. Crotone's army in Lenia asks for help.

As the leader of the Crotones, they had to send 3,000 people to help Siriting, but the Rotors retreated from the sea again.

Just when Crotone’s reinforcements hesitated whether to stay in Silitian or return to Corenia, 3,000 Lorraine, Medema, and Hibernian forces marched along the west coast and crossed over. River, into the territory of Trina.

The Trina people who had learned the lesson from Siriting did not dare to rashly take it lightly, but asked Crotone for help.

Shortly after the Crotone reinforcements left Siriting and entered Trina, the Lokerians landed on the Siriting coast.

The Crotone army was called back and moved, but they couldn't touch a vellus hair from the Roccoli, and they had nowhere to vent their flames.

Xiliting and Trina were also miserable. The farmland that had just been planted was destroyed, and the people's war-weariness began to rise.

At this time, the Crotones finally figured out: The more than 20 warships that suddenly appeared during the naval battle were not secretly manufactured by Lockley this year, but were aided by the Syracuse.

This news made Crotone's messenger very panic...

…………………………

Daves, who returned to Turiyi during this period, not only dealt with the alliance affairs, but stayed at home with his wife, took care of the new-born children, educates adopted children and adopted daughters, and lived a very fulfilling and happy life. Even if Crotone’s messengers came to Turri and asked Dionia for help, it did not cause him any anxiety, because Hilos and Asistus quickly pushed back and invaded the territory of Crotone. Rockie.

For this reason, the senators of the Senate also praised Daves for choosing the right chief executive of Asprostum.

In a letter to Hilos and Asistes, Daves praised them for taking correct measures decisively in such a complicated situation, and encouraged them to act boldly when the situation is critical. Don't delay the opportunity because you are too concerned about your own feelings and waiting for the order of the Senate.

Hiros and their outstanding performance also made Davers completely relieved and put more energy on the resettlement of Asprostum and Crimea.

But at this moment, he got the news from Alistairs that the messenger of Crotone, the messenger of Celite, the messenger of Trina, and the messenger of Corenia were going north together. The battle between Crotone and Lokri reported to him by Alistairs, the purpose of these city-state envoys to Turri is obvious.

Davers' first thought: This is a rare opportunity to expand Dionia's strength and influence. In comparison, fighting with Lockley is not unacceptable.

But immediately, he began to hesitate again: Thanks to the "extraordinary attention" of Aristiras from Katane to Syracuse, he also knew the truth of the failure of the Crotone battle. Syracuse is a true ally of Lockley, and reinforcements were sent in this war. Daves will inevitably offend Syracuse if he wants to fight Lockley. Is it worth it?

Davers had to consider this carefully.

In his previous life, he didn’t know much about Syracuse’s history. He only knew that Archimedes and Syracuse were one of the culprits that triggered the first Carthage War, and the Romans easily crushed it. Syracuse, it seems that the strength of Syracuse is not worth mentioning, but you must know that it was the Romans who used the power of the whole of Italy to attack Syracuse, which was in decline.

When Daves traveled to this era of the Mediterranean world, it was in Great Greece that he felt the awe of the Greek city-states of Italy towards Syracuse, the great Sicilian state. A few decades ago, Syracuse repelled Carthage and ruled Sicily and Great Greece, but now it seems to be returning to its former glory, and there is a tendency to dominate the Greek city-states of Sicily. Sicily is just an island, but the land is fertile. It is a famous wheat producing area in the Western Mediterranean (mainly due to volcanic ash), and the Greeks colonized a large number of people here. Sicily developed very early, and Sicily is near the center of the Mediterranean. , Has become an important hub for commercial circulation in the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, so Sicily's commerce and agriculture are relatively developed. Just looking at Siracusa’s ability to organize such a large army by occupying only southeastern Sicily, one can imagine the huge war potential, which is comparable to that of Dionia, which is still in its infancy.

However, Daves is not a frog in a well. He is foolishly unable to see the potential dangers. On the contrary, there are countless examples in the history of the past, as well as those political economy, geography and geography theories, etc., tell him, regardless of Dioni How can Ya avoid it? Once Syracuse really defeats Carthage and unifies the Greek city-states in Sicily, then the rapidly rising Dionia on its side will inevitably arouse its attention and become an obstacle to its expansion, and even the next A target of attack, it is better to take advantage of Syracuse's quagmire of war with Carthage, and seize the time to strengthen oneself, so as to have the strength to fight Syracuse in the future.

So after careful consideration, Daves finally made a decision and convinced the Senate.

Thesprotis was the messenger of Crotone, because he accompanied Lycias to successfully reach a truce with Dionia and sign the alliance treaty, and then later "persuade" Asprot separately Sturm’s Dionian garrison sent troops to help Crotone and forced the Lokri back, so almost everyone in Crotone’s council (except for Lycias) unanimously elected him as Dioni. Ya, it was the first time that Crotone's councillors valued it so much, and the other three city-state envoys in the same group also looked at him along the way. It is inevitable that Sisprotis was a little erratic.

Entering Turiyi City, it gave the envoys the feeling that this newly-built city does not have the prosperous and vast inner city of Crotone, but it also does not have the crowding and hustle and bustle. .
