"Well... the Tarantum people are not as obvious as Hybatross said, but they really don't like to interact with our city-states on the side of Great Greece." The previous person knew Tarantum well. The soldier of Sitharsis seriously replied: "It is only in the past few years that they have proposed the establishment of a southern Italian defense alliance because of the continuous intrusion of the Mesapi people to jointly resist the native barbarians! Although it is like the previous City-states such as Turriy and Croto have all joined, but they are actually not active..."

"Why do these Tarantums look down on us!" Haibatrus said loudly, "Brothers, you don't know, the Tarantums say they are descendants of Sparta, that's all fake Yes! They are the descendants of illegitimate children, children born to Spartan women and slaves!"

As soon as this word came out, the soldiers were in an uproar. Most of them came from poor people and had no education. Of course, they couldn't understand the history of Tarantum. They all asked in surprise, "Hybartrus, you said Is it true?! The Tarantums are Spartan women and slaves—"

"Of course it is true! Soldiers as long as they are citizens of Turii should know this. It is said that it was hundreds of years ago when Spartan men were fighting outside for a long time. Women...hehe...uncomfortable. , I actually got involved with the slaves! When the children were born and grown up, when the Spartans came back, they learned about this and how they could stand the insult, so they were driven out of the city, so The Spartans built Tarantum not because they were forced to colonize because of their large population and insufficient food, but for the stability and reputation of the Spartan city-state. Therefore, it should not be the Tarantum who look down on us, but We have to look down upon them! Only a group of illegitimate children! A group of—" Heterbalus was smugly mocking, and suddenly heard the people around yelling: "Be careful! Get out of the way!"

Before he could react, he received a heavy punch on his face, his eyes turned black, and he fell forward, but fortunately he was held by his comrades in the back.

"Hey, why are you hitting someone!" The surrounding soldiers rushed forward in shock and stopped the angry soldier.

"Shut up! Shut up! Say it again, I'll beat you to death!..." The soldier's eyes flushed, and he yelled at Heitbarus in anger.

"Shut up, Proseus, you're crazy!" As the team leader, Sitarsis hurriedly stepped forward and reprimanded the wounded soldier: "Pick up trouble, beat up your comrades, you will be punished by military law! "

At this moment, Heterbarus came to his senses and saw the person who came, and he was also angry: "How dare you hit me! Brothers, beat him! Beat this nasty stone!" He finished speaking. He rushed over, pushed away Sitarsis, and scrambled with Proseus. Several soldiers were instigated by him and joined the fight.

The ship was in a mess, and the noisy shouting naturally alarmed Parmanius, the squad leader who was on the same ship. When he took the people to arrive, Proseus had already removed the soldiers, including Hytba. Ruth was knocked to the ground.

"Prossous, do you want to be kicked out of Dionia?!" Parmanius' shout made Prossous, who was still in anger, shocked, thinking of something, and immediately stopped. Kicked people and stood still.

"Tie him to me!" Parmanius ordered.

The soldiers stepped forward hesitatingly, but Proseus remained motionless, letting them push themselves to the deck.

"Squad leader, he did it first. I didn't mess with him. He suddenly came up and punched me!" Heterbarus pointed to the scar on his face and complained to Parmanius.

"Don't talk for now." Parmanius ignored him, but asked the team leader Sitarsis about the reason, and his face went black immediately.

"Why beat up your comrade-in-arms?!" Parmanius yelled.

Proseus was tied his hands behind his back and was forcibly pushed to the ground, but it was how Parmanius interrogated him without saying a word.

Parmanius feels a headache now.

Before, because many soldiers of the First and Second Army moved to Crimea and Asprostum, the Fourth Army would be established there, so the First and Second Army had to expand their recruitment. To fill the gap.

As a Gentile who is registered and applied to become a preliminary citizen, he is said to be from Argos. So after entering the boot camp, his performance in training soon surprised the people in the barracks. Instructor: This young man is not only strong in physique, but also has superb skills. Whether it is a shield, spear, saber, or javelin, he is also very adept at marching and listening to orders. Some of the tactics unique to Dionia are also As soon as you learn, you can easily get the first place in the contest of the new barracks.

The instructors were surprised by his military talent, and the team officers at all levels also heard about his deeds and rushed to ask him to join his team. Matonis is also one of them. It is said that he has also left Davers's relationship, and eventually he will be in his team, reminding Parmanius to focus on training him many times.

However, Parmanius soon discovered that Proseus had a big flaw-he was not gregarious. He performed very well during training, but he didn't talk a lot during the break, rarely talked with his teammates, always sat alone and didn't know what to think. The teammates gave him the nickname "Stone" and accused him of being arrogant. That's why Heitbarus had so many helpers in the fight just now, which shows that the soldiers in the team didn't like him.

"Very well, don't say it now. When you get ashore, the judge will let you say it!" Parmanius angrily dropped this sentence and left. He still has to figure out how to talk to Matonis. Mention it.

Proseus was tied to the mast. The strange gazes of the surrounding soldiers made him careless. He didn't care about military punishments, but his eye circles were still red. He lowered his head and tried his best not to let the tears fall. , Because at this moment, he thought of his mother.

Proseus is not his real name. His name is Leotichides, the son of the former Spartan king Acis. His mother finally chose to commit suicide because of rumors. He finally made up his mind to leave Sparta. Bada.

While looking for a shelter, he found that there were not many places for him to choose. The Eastern Mediterranean is now Sparta’s world. Persia, which is at war with Sparta, may be a place to go. But although Leontizides wanted to retaliate against Sparta, he did not want to ruin the reputation of himself and his father. Choosing his uncle Agsilius to succeed to the throne was correct. The Western Mediterranean is an area beyond the reach of the Spartan forces, and there are many Greek city-states, but he also hopes that one day in the future he can create trouble for Sparta, who humiliated him and killed his mother, so there are only a few city-states he can choose.

Syracuse is one, but it is an alliance with Sparta. Carthage is one, but unfortunately it is a foreign race and has no language skills, and Leotizides doesn't understand it at all. In the end he chose Dionia because when Phoebe Das complained to the Council of Elders that Dionia was rude to Sparta, but he was right there, The rare city-state alliance that dared to despise Sparta was very curious. Prior to this, the Ombudsman Kerry Thorpes had recommended to the Council of the Elders a man he called "a Gentile with extraordinary military talent", and this man was now the consul of Dionia, Leonidzi Dess clearly remembered that his uncle had also expressed concern about this person.

When he found the opportunity to escape from Sparta and came to Great Greece, he discovered that Dionian’s influence was very large in Great Greece. It was almost the most powerful city-state alliance in southern Italy, and it was not long before it was established. Less than two years ago.

Leotizides was amazed by the rapid rise of Dionia, so he stayed in the port of Turíy to observe, and learned about Dionia’s past deeds, the distinctive city-state management system and the city’s customs , Especially after seeing the triumphal style once, he had a faint hunch that one day this city-state alliance could realize his desire in his heart. He felt that he had come to the right place, so he decided to remain anonymous and stay in Dionia.

He took part of the gold and silver secretly stored in Crete by his father Akis to support his needs, and he applied to the Alliance to become a Dionian citizen. Thanks to the cruel "Agog" training in Sparta he received from his childhood, he stood out in the recruit training of Dionia, and he obtained the status of an official citizen of the Legion before he became a reserve citizen.

But he was obsessed with the grief of his mother's passing away and with an unforgettable hatred of the Spartans gnashing his teeth, he still couldn't integrate into this new group. But the term "illegitimate child" is simply taboo for him, no wonder he goes crazy when he hears it.

………………………

Tarantum's bay is shaped like a gourd. The two naturally formed arc-shaped bays are stacked together, which not only expands the harbor's capacity, but also makes it safer. The Tarantum people strengthened the opening of the Gourd Bay and the narrowing of the waist, built two water gates, and strengthened the defense of the port.

At this moment, the first water gate was wide open, and countless troop carriers entered in file. Under the guidance and supervision of dozens of patrol boats in Tarantum, they sailed towards the northwest corner of the bay one after another. The coastline of the entire bay is quite long. The city of Tarantum is at the southeast corner of the bay and cannot contain all the land defenses of the bay. Therefore, Tarantum arranges the station of the Dionian reinforcements at the northwest corner of the bay. It is the place where Tarantum City has the weakest control over the bay, and it is also out of the desire of the Dionians to help defend the bay.

Daves’s boat sailed through the first water gate. It turned out that the sea with heavy wind and waves was unpleasant here. He couldn’t help but sigh: You must know that although the seawall was built in Turriy Harbour, it went inwards. During excavation and widening, the port is still a bit crowded. It is inevitable that ships will be damaged in storms. Unlike the bay here, you don’t need to consider these issues. It is a natural and excellent port. I don’t know another famous Greek city-state. Harbour-what is the harbour in Crotone?

Note: I have a little time today, I want to talk about the Archita in history. The information I have collected is more about his achievements in mathematics. In other respects, there are only a few pens. He is known as the "Beli Creek of Great Greece", and he has served as the governor of Tarantum during his middle years. After becoming an official, Tarantum has been prosperous and powerful in the Apulia region for more than ten years. The record of Rantum’s occupation means that Tarantum’s prosperity is still defensive in nature. He also invited Plato to Tarantum when he was rejected by Dionysius II. Plato once thought that Achita was the expected philosophical king in the ideal country he described, because Pythagoras The Sri Lanka School not only inherits mathematics, but also has its own philosophy. Achita finally died in a shipwreck, and it is said that the body was only recovered several centuries later.

In the beginning of the book, there was no plan for his death at this time. It was just the protagonist’s butterfly effect that caused the Tarantum, who had always defended Mesapi, to attack him. In the end, this character wrote and wrote I have come to this point without my control. It’s better to die in battle than to sleep on the bottom of the sea, and his mathematics achievements can only be accomplished by other people, I hope it’s Dionia Academy.
