Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 47: Information about Eastern Dionia (1)

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

This is a leader who has been in close contact with Akonis. His questioning made the panicked leaders focus their eager eyes on Akonis.

Aconis took the opportunity to take the topic: "What should I do? Of course it is to summon the soldiers, form a powerful army, declare war on Dionia, and recapture everything we have lost in the Westkells!"

The leaders were surprised again.

An elderly leader reminded: "Lord Arconis, don’t forget that Dionia was able to defeat the tyrannical Syracuse Dionysius ten years ago. Now Dior The Kingdom of Nia will only be stronger! How can we tribes fight against the powerful Kingdom of Dionia!"

Some leaders just wanted to nod their heads in agreement, and Akonis immediately said: "Who said that we are fighting against Dionia alone! We have the same strong support of Carthage behind us!"

As soon as this word came out, the leaders were shocked.

Aconis held his head up, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to a leader next to him. The other leaders leaned in one after another regardless of their identities.

Acris said in a loud voice with some complacency: "The Carthaginians told us,'As long as we rise up against Dionia, they will intervene in this war and fight for the independence of us Westkels. '”

"The Carthaginians are just using us." A leader said.

"Carthage is using us, but we are also using it. Otherwise, how could Kefa Roytian and Enna be captured so easily..." Arconis sneered.

Some leaders suddenly realized: It turns out that the Carthaginians had long been funding the Tannikian tribe. Otherwise, how could this tribe that had been abandoned by the Westkels swell into a powerful tribe in just a few years? feeling scared.

"Okay, dear leaders, you are all clear about the situation, now it’s time to take action!" Akonis looked around the crowd and said in a more accented tone: "You go and summon the warriors of your tribe to gather here, and then Let's attack Agilion together!"

Attacking Agilion? ! That is the largest town in West Kyle, with many people and high walls, which is extremely difficult to attack! The leaders were a little surprised.

However, I saw Arconis respectfully saying to a middle-aged leader on the left side: "Uncle Sicops, do you think this would work?"

"No problem. My tribe is ready. As long as your army attacks Agilion, they can immediately cooperate with you in the city."

West Corpus, the leader of Trakler, a large tribe in Agilion! Someone recognized him, his face changed slightly, and then he remembered: Arkonis was the son of Aguilis, the former king of Sikel, and Agilion was the royal court of Sikel at that time. Although Dionysius poisoned Aguilis and destroyed the Kingdom of Sikel, how could there be no supporters of Arconis in the city of Aquilion!

"We will immediately go back to the tribe to gather the tribe." The leaders of all thoughts said one after another.

Aconis said: "You don't need to go back. Let your men go back and perform this task. I held a banquet in the city and invited all the leaders to join."

The expressions of the leaders changed: This is to force them to stand in line!

But seeing the heavily armed soldiers pouring into the hall, most of the leaders obediently. In the past few years, Akonis led his army to break through several towns and invaded many tribal settlements. The leaders who dared to resist all died under his sword, and the only ones who could live were cartilage, helping him deceive Dionia. How dare to resist at this time.

At this moment, a guard hurried in and whispered a few words in Akonis' ear. He was stunned when he was still looking at the embarrassment of the chiefs just now. It turned out that his men told him: Dioni The Eighth Army of Asia is suddenly stationed in Agilion!

This sudden news disrupted his original plan, and he immediately negotiated with West Corps nervously.

And the domineering Sicops just now looked a little flustered, because at the same time, his confidant also reported to him that the city of Agilion was blocked and could not get in touch with the tribes in the city.

After some tense discussions between several people, Akonis immediately announced to the leaders: Let them send their men back, step up the gathering of the people, and they must bring the troops to Kefaluoitian tomorrow!

In order to appease the doubting leaders, the banquet will continue.

But when the banquet that lasted for several hours was about to end, the guard brought another bad news, which made the slightly drunk Akonis unable to control his emotions and broke the drinking pottery cup.

The news of "The Eighth Army of Dionia quickly captured Herna" made him confused and panicked the leaders. Several leaders from Herna were crying, and the whole banquet was filled with joy. Nothing.

……………………………………

Kerry Thorpes, who is already in his 50s, received the resolution of the Council of Elders, and after having a close talk with Agsilauss, he hurried to the port of Gofean, took a passenger ship, and rushed to Dai Onia.

The passenger ship floated along the coast on the west side of the Peloponnese peninsula overnight, and sailed across the Adriatic Sea in the early morning of the next day, landing at the top of the "heel" of the Italian peninsula, here is the Kingdom of Dionian Odrum City belongs to.

After a night's rest, Kerry Thorpes regained his spirit, and after landing at the port, he wandered around the port quite leisurely.

Once used as a city-state of the Mesapi people, although Odrum was on the Adriatic Sea before, it was rarely known by the Greeks, because the famous sea trade city-state of the Mesapi people was Brindisi And Mesagne, and Odrum, because the surrounding terrain is uneven and transportation is inconvenient, so few Greek merchant ships are willing to stay here. It was not until Dionia conquered the Mesapi area that the town gradually became famous. stand up.

Kerry Thorpes saw a lot of merchant ships moored in the port, even a bit crowded. The workers on the dock were running back and forth, carrying goods constantly, which seemed a bit hectic, and occasionally made some mistakes, and I could see it from time to time. The shipowner yelled at the side and even caused some small conflicts, so the patrol team has been maintaining order at the terminal. Obviously, the Odrum people have not yet fully adapted to such busy port affairs.

Kerithorpes also noticed that there are many Illyrians in the port. These unpopular barbarians, which are called "robbers" and "pirates" by the Greek natives, have appeared here. , Quite curious about Kerry Thorpes.

The city of Odrum is also quite lively. Gentiles, Cretans, Corinthians, Epirus people, Corfu people are everywhere on the street... There are actually many people from the Peloponnese. Businessman. But Krythorpes was not surprised. After all, the vast territory, large population, and rich resources of the Kingdom of Dionian provided huge business opportunities for Greek businessmen. These greedy businessmen flocked to them, and Odrum was far away from the Greek mainland. The nearest town of Dionia.

The largest number of shops in the city is actually a carriage shop. Krisops understood: Now Odrum has gradually formed a vague concept in the impression of the Greeks in the Eastern Mediterranean. It is from the Eastern Mediterranean. The Greeks traveled overland to the starting towns of Turri, the center of Dionia or elsewhere, and it was cheaper to ride a horse-drawn carriage here, probably because the Mesapi region was also rich in horses.

Kerithorpes hired one from the carriage shop in the city and headed to Tarantum.

The driver is a Mesapi, who speaks stammering Greek and is not very talkative, but he also gave out a lot of information when asked deliberately by Grithorpes.

At first, when they were annexed by Dionia, the Mesapi of Odrum resisted Dionia's rule, and a relative of the driver died in a riot. But the swords and spears of the Dionian soldiers made them suffer, and the Odrum people gradually changed their methods and chose silent confrontation. Even though Nicomacus, the chief executive of Odrum appointed by Dionian, declared, “According to Dionian’s decree, the tribe will be abolished and the Odrum people will be given personal independence...”, they also It’s just that I’m skeptical, and I’m still waiting to see the jokes of the Dionians, because although there are few Odrums, according to the "Laws of Dionian" that Nicom Marcus said, everyone will be divided into five. In terms of acres of land, the smallness and barrenness of Oldrum's land is simply not enough.

But the short-sighted Odrum people did not expect that the chief executive would really give them, and it was not a barren mountain, but a plain land not far from the Odrum people. Those lands belonged to The other city-states, now under the governance of the unified Kingdom of Dionia, they belonged to Odrum, and the Odrum people felt the benefits of joining Dionia for the first time.

Immediately afterwards, the second benefit came one after another, "All Mesapi people who become Dionian citizens will be exempt from taxation for two consecutive years!" In addition, Chief Executive Nicomacus also told them, "All not Don’t worry about people who are good at farming. The Ministry of Agriculture will send special personnel to teach them that if someone’s family has insufficient labor, they can also go to the newly established Christia Bank to get a loan, and then go to Tarantum to purchase Slaves with farmland planting experience."

Tarantum, that’s the mortal enemy of the Mesapis. The two sides can only kill you when they meet. Now they are both under the rule of Dionia (the Mesapis don’t understand the "Free City" Meaning, thinking that Tarantum has been completely incorporated into Dionia)!

The daring Odrum people really went to the Kristia Bank for a loan, and then went to Tarantum. Although the Tarantum glared at them and even abused them, they stepped forward. There were very few, the patrol team was very nervous to guard their safety, and finally these people bought slaves smoothly. Back in Udrum, after the incident spread, the whole town was a sensation: That was Tarantum! The city that the Mesapi people have been trying to capture for hundreds of years, so easily let them enter the city for a stroll? ! !
