lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
"Oh, hold on, hold on, I remember you just said that Dionia was created a year ago and became the overlord of Great Greece in less than two years?! This is simply...yes..."
"You want to say'miracles' right. I heard that the Archon of Dionia is Hades's'favorite'. He is very young, but the battle he directed has never failed, Luca The Nians, the Crotones, and the Rockies... have all been defeated by him one after another, maybe there is a real miracle!"
"According to you, Dionia is so strong in Great Greece, Corinth had better not to have a relationship with it because of this little thing in the arena..."
"That's your Corinthian business, Iavones."
"Well, Hippakus, talk about you Lijim, but you are in the land of Great Greece, why didn't you form an alliance with the mighty Dionia?"
"We Lijims have no intention of fighting for the hegemony of Great Greece, we just want to live our lives."
"Everyone thinks so. But Hipparchus, gods are moody, and maybe one day Lijim will be involved in the conflict of the Greek city-states. Instead of being passive, it is better to actively seek A strong ally..."
……
Since this farce, everyone has been talking about the alien and the strange city-state alliance Dionia. The name Dionia has only begun to be known by more Greeks on the Greek mainland. This is Later.
At this time, in the auditorium of this arena, many people were inquiring about the origin of Dionia.
There were two young people in the audience. They were from Thebes. After listening to the conversation between Hipparchus and Iavones, one of the young people said excitedly: "Dionia, this is really a Strange city-state alliance! What do you think, Epaminonda?"
Another young man sighed: "Being able to dominate Great Greece in such a short period of time is not only the ability of the consul, the regime of the Dionian League must have its own uniqueness!"
"You are the same as I thought, I have decided!" The young man said loudly: "Next year, when my studies are over, I will go to Dionia to see. Come with me."
Ipamenonda shook his head: "I'm sorry, Pelopidas! You know that my teacher Lysis has been promoting the teachings of the Pythagorean school in Corinth over the past few years. I don't have to run to the tower anymore. Rantum, you can learn from him nearby, and at the same time help him deal with some affairs, so I can't go so far away, so as not to delay time."
The young man named Pelopidas held Ipamironda’s arm: "Didn’t that person just say that the central city of Dionia is in Turíy, and it’s in Taran. On the opposite side of Toh Bay, it takes less than two or three days by boat from Corinth Bay, and it is not far at all. Besides, you are my best friend, how can you bear to let me go out alone."
……………………
Collins imprisoned Adrianx and Lizaru. The rest of the Dionian athletes delegation had no intention of participating, so he hurriedly sent someone back to Turri to report.
The Senate held a meeting to discuss the matter. A few senators headed by Pollux believed that Lizaru’s reckless behavior corrupted the image of Dionia, and Adrienques, as the head of the delegation, did not manage Good team, so that Dionia has become the laughing stock of all Greece, they should all be punished by the alliance!
Davers firmly opposed it. He believed that the actions of Adrianx and Lizaru were not wrong, but the conservative Corinthians were wrong, and their narrow national concepts rejected Dio, who was composed of multiple ethnic groups. Niah! Since those native Greeks who claim to be orthodox refuse to participate in Dionian citizens composed of Lucanians, Thracians and other races, there is no need for Dionians to participate in the four major tournaments! Dionia has the ability and strength to organize his own games! ...
Daves’ speech received the support of most veterans, especially Wisba, Hermon, Butler, Mariji, Epithenis and others who responded positively.
However, if Corinth wants to release Lizaru and Adrianx, the Senate has no other way. In my eyes, Dionia’s current power cannot affect Corinth, so the only way is to send an envoy to apologize to Corinth and donate a certain amount of gold and silver to the Temple of Poseidon in Corinth to keep the delegation members safe. Return.
Except for Melsis's objection, everyone else agrees. For Daves, the most important thing for Dionia now is to concentrate all his strength on Bruti, and he can't make any extravagances. Therefore, although he is reluctant to make this decision of the Senate, he can only endure this time. .
………………………
During the period of autumn harvest, citizens are busy harvesting.
Daves was not idle either. He quietly went to Asprostum to try the valley leading to Ambania a few times, and then went to the north bank of the upper reaches of the Craty River to observe the river conditions and the river. The location and environment of Bisignia on the other side, I went to Laos to survey the mountain roads leading to the Vig city area, accompanied by Little Heracred, Mentor Tik Els, Mersis, etc. people. Wherever they go, they have to calculate the speed and depth of the river, consider the possibility of building roads, bridges, and food transportation.
After returning, Daves also repeatedly discussed the offensive plan with senior military officials such as Felicius, Calpus, and Dracos.
At the end of September, before the autumn harvest was over, Trina received news: Some Bruti broke into Trina Territory and were captured!
Actually, the real situation is: after Anta Auris went to Cosenza, the Bruti tribal alliance accelerated the attack and annexation of the tribes that refused to be incorporated, forcing some Brutis who did not want to join the alliance. People escaped from the mountains.
Daves took advantage of the topic and asked Aristiras to send his spies to spread rumors in cities such as Turii, Amendorara, and Crimea: The Bruti are unifying the tribes and waiting to build a strong After the tribal alliance, they will launch an attack on Dionia, and now it is only a tentative attack by the Bruti...
At the same time, they also reminded the public: Don’t forget the **** debts made by the Bruti people in the repeated plundering of the Greek city-states!
The cities of Dionia were quickly enveloped by a tense atmosphere, and the citizens were even more angry. They strongly demanded: launch a war against the Bruti people, collect blood debts, and eliminate hidden dangers!
At the beginning of October, the autumn harvest was over, and there was a call for war in Dionia, and the time was ripe to use force against Bruti.
After several rounds of discussions, the Senate announced to the citizens: The Bruti ignored Dionian’s peace proposals and warnings and wantonly destroyed Dionian’s allies, the Xiru tribe. Based on the covenant and morality, Dio Nia declares war on the Bruti!
So, the Bruti War officially kicked off!
In the square of Asprostum, soldiers from the Fourth Army from Crimea and Asprostum are gathering...
In the Victory Square in Turyi, soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Army Corps from Turyi and Amendorara are gathering...
In the square of Niutum, some soldiers of the Third Army are gathering...
Because the location of Grumentum is extremely important, in order to stabilize the situation in the Lucania area, citizens belonging to the third army map in the city cannot move lightly.
Just as preparations were proceeding in an orderly manner before the war, Daves once again met Hegecitus, the leader of the survivors of the Xiru tribe, at the mansion.
"Dionia has declared war on the Brutis. I believe it will not be long before you will hear the news of victory. The Brutis continue to slaughter our fellow Greeks in spite of our warnings, and they will surely suffer Punish!" Daves solemnly promised.
Hegecitus said with tears in his eyes and gratefully said: "Master Daves, thank you! Thank you very much for your selfless help to our weak tribe! You deserve to be the favored one of Hades. Guardians of fairness and justice in Great Greece! All of our surviving Siru people will pray to Hades all the time and wish you health and safety! I also wish the citizens of Dionia a triumphant return! At the same time, I have a little I would like to ask your adults to agree to the request."
"Oh, what's the requirement?"
"My people and I hope to join your army, fight side by side with you, and seek revenge from the Bruti!" Hegecitus said excitedly.
"I can understand your feelings, but the Dionian army has undergone arduous training, and has strict disciplines, violates military regulations, and may even be beheaded! Your participation may not only increase us On the contrary, it will affect our fighting, because once the military law is violated, do you say I am punished or not? So I cannot agree to your request." Daves tactfully but firmly refused.
Hegecitus looked disappointed, he said unwillingly: "Then...then we can...be the guide!"
"The guide only needs two or three people." Daves was disappointed when he saw him, and felt that the time was ripe, so he said, "But there is something you can do. If you do it, you can give it to the Bruti tribe. The league’s biggest blow!"
"What's the matter?!" Hegecitus asked urgently.
"Last time, I heard you say that there are some tribes in the Bruti area that are not willing to merge. It is only because of the strength of the Bruti tribal alliance that they have to give in... I hope you can sneak back to Bruti and wait. With the news that Dionia’s army has entered the Bruti Mountains, you can persuade these tribes to rise up against this alliance. By then, it will be easy to defeat the Bruti Tribal Alliance!" Davers said here, Looking at him apologetically: "However, for you, it is more dangerous to go back after you have just escaped from Bruti——"
