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

Mathias? ! Daves remembers Ancitanos telling him, ‘Mathias was the leader of the Campania mercenary and later became an important general under Dionysius. ’

"Is there any evidence?" Daves asked further.

"No, he came to Turei empty-handed. The hotel where he stayed and the capital of the dagger were prepared by a man named Auroras, but he only knew the name, he didn't know the leader of Auroras. What and what..." Matonis said seriously: "Now I am sending someone to the hotel where he is staying, hoping to get some information about Auroras."

After listening, Davers asked: "Where is that woman?"

"No one has come to inspect and claim to know her..." Matonis was a little frustrated.

"Martonis, how long has it been since the assassination, you have made a lot of progress!" Daves comforted him, his eyes flashed sharply: "Whether she is from Tury, She is from another city. Since she can participate in the celebration, then she has a trace to follow. Moreover, the dagger she holds is similar to the dagger that the man is holding, and they are all poisoned. She has no relationship with Syracuse. !"

Davers sneered and ordered him to say: "Martonis, you go to Aristilas immediately, and he will help you find out the truth as soon as possible."

"Yes, my lord." Matonis turned and left.

At this time, Kunogorata said worriedly and tentatively: "Master Daves, are you preparing to declare war on Syracuse? Although the assassin said that Syracuse instigated him to do it. , Has not been confirmed, and—"

Daves, who has always respected him, unceremoniously interrupted the old man’s words: "Let me ask Master Kunogolata, if they really succeed in assassinating me this time, what will happen to Dionia? ?"

Kunogolata was taken aback, thought for a while, and had to say truthfully: "There will be turbulence..." More than turbulence, I am afraid that civil war will happen soon. The three major races within the alliance of Greeks, Lucanians, and Brutis will inevitably clash; the chiefs of several legions have the same qualifications and prestige, and none of them can deter all legions. However, in the Senate, civilian officials have the upper hand. Going down... Kunogolata became more and more frightened as he thought about it.

"Then what will happen to our Southern Italy League?" Daves watched his face and continued to lead him to think: The Southern Italy League is the Great Greek City-State Alliance led by Dionia, Dio With its strength far surpassing other city-states, Nia has become the mainstay of maintaining this alliance. Once the Dionia alliance is turbulent and its strength weakens, Crotone and Lijim may jump out to fight for power, and the strength of the two sides is not much different. Under the circumstances, in the end, it may be that no one is convinced, causing the Southern Italy League to become a fake. What's more, Crotone is very likely to retaliate against Siritine and Trina who betrayed it at the beginning, and it may be Crotone who wants Declaring war on Dionia in order to avenge the hatred, so far, the Southern Italian League has completely fallen apart...

"We all know that Syracuse and Carthage have signed a peace agreement, but we still don’t see Syracuse disband the mercenary troops. Instead, they buy grain and build ships... What is this for? Is it? To help Sparta defeat the League of Thebes?"

Daves’ question is asking Kunogolata’s heart: Indeed, Dionysius had long ago ambitions for Great Greece. If the Dionian League is turbulent, the Southern Italy League will become a dish of loose sand. With the strength of Rakuza far surpassing the various cities and alliances of Great Greece, it can easily achieve its purpose...

Davos stared at the old man in front of him, and small beads of sweat were pouring out from under his gray sideburns. As the veteran of Dionia, who was the chief executive of Turye for three consecutive terms, Turey could have Kuno Gorata has contributed to today's prosperity, but his biggest shortcoming is his fear of war.

"Master Kunogolata, you should know me. I will not rush to war on Syracuse without adequate preparation, but it is time for us to take action, otherwise I will let him The evil wolf of Rakuza lurks around Dionia, coveting our land and disrupting the order of our alliance at any time. This is a terrible thing!"

After listening to Daves’s sincere words, Kunogolata thought for a while, finally changed his mind and said, "Master Daves, what do you want me to do?"

Davers smiled with joy: "In an urgent meeting of the Senate for a while, I hope you can support my proposal to mobilize the citizens of Dionian to prepare for war with Syracuse!"

Just "prepare"? Kunogolata couldn't believe his ears, seeing Daves's aggressive look just now, and thinking that he was about to start a war with Syracuse.

"Of course it's more than that. We also need to support Lijim to establish a colonial city on Sicily..." Daves looked at Kunogolata and said word by word: "I still need you on the venue. Tell the'truth' of the assassin incidents investigated by other veterans-that the assassin was a Lokri and was sent at the request of Syracuse!"

Kunogorata's eyes widened, and his face was surprised: "Master Daves, you are going to—"

"Yes, I'm aiming at Lorry!" Daves said with a sullen face and firm words: "Dionysius and Lorry are allied, just to make Lorry It became a springboard for Syracuse to invade Greater Greece, and the existence of Lockley made us Greater Greece unable to completely condense into a whole. This time I took advantage of this great opportunity to declare war on Lockley. If Syracuse comes to rescue In the land of Great Greece, facing the army of the Southern Italy League, I think our chances of winning will be very high! If it does not come, we will just conquer this city-state that betrays Great Greece!"

Although from the bottom of my heart I have agreed that the war between Dionia and Syracuse is inevitable, but rather than facing the mighty Syracuse, Kuno Gorata is more willing to deal with Lokri first. When the Dionian City-State Alliance was first established, Lokri was also a strong gang in their hearts and in Great Greece, but at this time, it was no longer worth mentioning in the eyes of the Dionians. Moreover, Davers was able to think of such a strategy, indicating that he was not dazzled by anger, so Kunogolata began to actively make suggestions: "It happens to be this time that the generals and parliamentarians of the city-states of the Southern Italian League are all Invited, like Lord Atili Cruz of Lijim, Lord Lucias of Crotone, Lord Cipros of Trina, Lord Pretinis of Siritin, Lord Fry of Corronia Master Liniris...and so on are all in Turei. They must have heard of this amazing event today. We can just put the South Italian League meeting that should be held in Siritim in Turri. I believe it will be easy. You can reach an agreement!"

"I believe they are waiting for the Senate to send someone to contact them, so our Senate meeting must end as soon as possible." Davers reminded.

"I understand." Kunogolata nodded. When he left Davers's mansion, his steps were a bit heavy, because he knew that after today, the alliance of Dionia, which has been peaceful for more than three years, may open again. The gate of war.

……………………………

The meeting of the Dionian Senate, the elders are more concerned about the safety of Daves, especially the elders of the former mercenary, the elders of Lucania, the elders of Amendorara and some cloth Elder Luti expressed concern.

Therefore, when Kunogolata informed the people of the "truth", the elders were very angry, and Daves' proposal to "declare war on Lockley" was easily approved.

Although, militant parties such as Amintas, Daves did not directly declare the strategic disappointment to the culprit, Syracuse. And people like Cornelus, Ansitanos and others, even though they were surprised why Syracuse hadn't come out, but put Lockley in front, they were temporarily relieved in their hearts.

The Senate finally decided to send an envoy to question Lockley with harsh demands.

……………………………

Daves, who returned home, didn't have time to rest. He immediately asked his father-in-law, Attily Cruise, to be quickly invited.

"Seeing that you are okay, I can finally rest assured!" Attilly Cruise said happily as soon as he saw him, which made Davers feel a little warm.

Next, Attyli Cruz yelled again: "Syracuse! It must be someone from Syracuse, right? I've said it a long time ago—"

Davers interrupted him and said decisively: "The Dionian Senate decided to fully support Lijim's construction of a colonial city in Sicily, but I also hope that you can abide by the previous words and hand over Lijim's fleet to Dionia is here to take command!"

"This is really good news. But, handing over the fleet to you, can Dionia guarantee the safety of Lijim's coast and trade routes?" Attilly Cruise became reluctant at the moment.

"I think the Syracuse people don't have time to insult Lijim anymore, because Dionia will send an envoy to question Lockley, ‘why do you want to shoot an assassin and assassinate me?’" Daves said astonishingly.

Attilly Cruise looked surprised: "How...how could it be Lockley?"

"Because Dionia and the Southern Italian League need to wage war on Lorrie!" Daves said categorically.

Attilly Cruise was still surprised, but he already understood Daves’ intentions. He shook his hands, held on to the armrest of the wooden chair, and sat down slowly: "You...you want...no ! You want to introduce the Syracuse people to Great Greece..."

"Yes, concentrate our southern Italian city-state army on the land of Great Greece to fight the Syracuse people. I think the chance of winning is greater! Father, I need Lijim's full support to be able to fight in southern Italy. Persuaded other city-states at the meeting of the League." Daves uttered the word "father" rarely, which shows how much he expects for this plan.
