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

Finally, the four people turned their eyes to Daves, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces who had the power to decide.

At this moment, Daves is entangled in his heart: After experiencing the unauthorized actions of Diomilas, Metapontum, the easy collapse of the Heraclea coalition, etc., he has been discouraged by such joint operations. , Worrying about being dragged down by bad allies again. Trifias just wanted to bring the army back to the city, but he wanted to bring the army back to Turri immediately. But doing so will undoubtedly destroy the ally with Tarantum, and it may also affect the image of "keeping promises" that Dionia has worked hard to build...

When he was hesitating, the guards came in to report: The Mesapi had sent an envoy.

Everyone was surprised.

Davers moved in his heart and asked the Messapi messenger to come in, to hear what he was going to say?

…………………

Originally, after the Maple coalition forces gathered the ruined troops and reorganized the army, the Mesapee consul, headed by Parsimerus, thought: Although the final result of this battle was not very good, the coalition forces chose After retreating, the cavalry also suffered heavy losses, but Tarantum's army should have suffered even more losses. Compared with the Tarantum army, the strength of this side's army is more dominant than before the war. In the next battle, we should take the initiative and continue to attack Tarantum.

Puchetti King Tremoni, who was previously complained by several Mesapi consuls overtly and secretly, failed to stop the reinforcements and caused the situation to be ruined, expressed strong opposition. He emphasized: the Greek coalition forces The main Dionian army has a unique formation, well-trained, and amazing combat effectiveness. In the mountain battle, it can actually repel the Puchetti who occupies the ground. Then fighting on the plains, the Maple coalition may not be based on the Dionian army. The main opponent of the Greek coalition forces.

The consuls of the city-states of Mesapi knew how much the Puchetti's fighting power was, and Tremoni, who had always been rebellious, said such things, which made everyone very unbelievable.

At this time, Timogras stepped up to endorse Tremoni. He once again emphasized the terrible Dionian army, because the heavy infantry in Igratia was heavier than the Dionian who fought with it. In the case of a thicker infantry formation, they were beaten back by the enemy and eventually led to a defeat!

At the same time, he also reminded everyone: Dionian heavy infantry can throw javelins, which can cause great damage to infantry at close range.

The expressions of the archons finally became serious.

Ugentum Archon Karminus said worriedly: "I heard that Dionia is a large alliance of city states on the Gulf side. It governs five or six city states, and there are many alliance states. It is better than Tarantum. It can easily send tens of thousands of people to reinforce Tarantum. Even if we defeat it in the end, I think it can still sell tens of thousands of people, and we can withstand this. Is it loss?"

After a short period of silence, Pasimerus said helplessly, "Perhaps we should negotiate with Dionia..."

A peace talk? ! Everyone looked surprised.

Only Tremoni's expression was calm, Pasimerus saw it in his eyes, and sighed in his heart: It seems that the Puchettis don't have much will to fight. If they continue to fight, I am afraid they will not do their best.

The hope for peace talks in Pasimerus's heart began to grow stronger. He cheered up and said seriously: "The Dionians have never had any conflict with us, and they are far away from us. So fighting with us is because it is the alliance of Tarantum and came here to fulfill the covenant. Defeating us will not do any good for Dionia, but will cause soldiers casualties because of the battle. If we propose The peace talks, do you think Dionia is willing to accept it?! As long as this powerful outsider leaves, there will be only one Tarantum. We will..."

………………………

The Archon of Igratia, Timogras, volunteered to go to the camp of the Greeks. When the guards confirmed that he was not carrying weapons, he was allowed to enter the military account.

In the military account, in addition to the guards, there are five Greek generals. Timothy’s gaze is on the youngest general: he should be the Dionian consul Daves, forcing the Maple coalition forces to send The culprit of the messenger to the Greek barracks!

Out of caution, he nodded to the young general, and then asked in Greek: "Davies, the Archon of Dionia?"

"It's me." Daves nodded.

"It's my honor to see you!" Timothy Las respectfully performed a Mesapi manner, and then said: "I am the Archon of Igratia, Timothy, on behalf of the Maple Allied Forces. , As a messenger to discuss with you how to end this meaningless war."

Sure enough, there is a peace talk! Although Davos was happy, he said calmly: "I think you have found the wrong negotiation partner. You should discuss with the two lords Umarcus and Diomilas, the Archon of Tarantum." His body was slightly sideways, and his left hand led to the two people behind.

"You have just been defeated by us, and you want to have a peace talk?!" Diomilas hated the Mesapis at first, and because Timothy walked in and ignored Tarantum, he was even more angry: "Go back and tell you those companions in animal skins that Tarantum will not accept the peace talks! We will continue to attack and retake Brindisi! If you have the courage, you can come and stop us!"

"Defeat by you?" Timothy sneered with a sneer on his face: "You and I know in your minds who lost more in the previous battle. If this is a defeat for us, we don't mind too much. I've been here several times. Without the timely reinforcements of the Dionians, you might have become a corpse, and you still have the face to yell at me here!"

Faced with the roar of Diomilas, Timogras continued loudly without showing any weakness: "The warriors of Mesapi and Puchetti are ready to kill even if they give their lives. Enemies who dare to invade our territory! Just don’t know if the Tarantums have such courage?"

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Diomilas to refute, he immediately turned to Daves and said: "The bravery of the Dionians has won the respect of the Mesapi people. Mani admired you very much, and asked me to greet you on his behalf! It's just that I want to ask Master Daves that the Dionians have crossed the bay and fought with us who had no conflicts and conflicts in the past. , No benefit; lost, the bones are buried in a foreign land. Is it worth it?"

Daves was well aware of the fact that the Mesapi Archon had repeatedly separated the relationship between Dionia and Tarantum in various ways as soon as he came in, and he said in an accentuated tone: "Tar Rantum is Dionian’s friendly ally. It is Dionian’s duty to abide by the covenant and assist the allies in defending against foreign aggression! What's more, Dionian has the obligation to maintain the peace of the neighboring Greek city-states, because only If there is no war in the neighbors, the people of Dionia will have a peaceful life."

Davers's remarks faintly revealed his expectations and ambitions for Dionia.

Trifias and Tudpres listened to their ears, their eyes brightened.

And Umarcus was thoughtful.

Timograss face changed slightly. He heard the warning Daves gave him, and he quickly reacted: "Master Daves, listen to what you said, you are here to help Tarantum resist the aggression. Yes. But in fact, Tarantum is not suffering from the invasion of our Mesapi people, but is taking the land of our Mesapi people! Manduria is the city-state of the Mesapi people! Brindisi is too Mesapi’s city-state! Since the beginning of this year, the Tarantums have aggressively attacked our Mesapi’s land, took our Manduria and Brindisi, and killed countless Mesapi fighters. , Turned countless Mesapi people, including women and children, into Tarantum’s slaves! We fought back, just wanting to regain our own land and avenge our people! Lord Daves, you say Dio Nya has an obligation to help its neighbors maintain peace and resist aggression. Could it also include helping allies invade the land of other countries and kill the people of other countries?!"

Timograss' words were impassioned, Umarcus and Diomilas both changed their faces, but Daves secretly praised in his heart: Smart, it's about the point!

He immediately put on an awkward look: "This...this..."

"Damn Mesapi, don't pretend to be pitiful!" Diomilas retorted angrily: "Who is invading whom after all these years! Who is the real victim! Every year! In the summer, who ran to the land of Tarantum to rob food and kill people! This year we launched an offensive just to respond to the call of the nemesis and repay the blood debts you owed to Tarantum over the years!"

Faced with Diomilas’ strong rebuttal, Timothy said calmly: “Why do we invade Tarantum every year? The reason is simple, this land of Tarantum Originally belonged to us Mesapi! Your ancestors drove away the weak Mesapi people who lived here hundreds of years ago, and then occupied this land!"

"So what! Hundreds of years have passed, this piece of land now belongs to our Tarantum!"

"Since you can **** it away, then of course we want to **** it back again!"

"Unfortunately you can't do it! On the contrary, in a few years, Manduria will become the city-state of Tarantum!"

"Diomilas!" Umarcas interrupted their yelling loudly. The two people clamoring and arguing have gone off the subject, and look at the three city-state consuls headed by Daves. Lu intolerant.

Yomacas quickly said: "Mesapi, you are not here to quarrel, are you?"

"Of course not, I came for peace! As Master Davos said, Mesapi and Tarantum have lost too many people in the war!" Timoglas immediately looked solemn. .
