Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Yasi, about the information of Crotone's commander Melanius, you collected very comprehensively and did a good job!" Daves heard, praised.

"Mainly because he is too famous in Crotone, our people can hear about his deeds as soon as they arrive at the port..." Assisi said truthfully.

Davers nodded: "I can see that this Merlinius is a proud person. Why is it necessary to send him to be the commander of the army in such a war that is related to the life and death of the city?"

Yasisters replied: "It may be because the battle that Melanthus has participated in has never failed. Besides, he is brave and brave, and he likes to attack quickly. Crotone must also hope to solve the problem with Turui early. The battle between them, and they also sent the older and hard-working Timaras as an adjutant, I believe that Melanius can be more stable..."

"Well...the reason you analyzed makes sense!" Davers thought, and asked: "What are the characteristics of Crotone's civic warfare?"

“Crotonet’s citizens are keen on physical exercise and have many famous athletes. Every time there are four athletes in the four major sports games, Crotone’s athletes win the championship, especially in wrestling, boxing and discus. Therefore, several city-state citizens reacted, and their civic strength was strong, their offensive was fierce, and their movements were agile..."

Daversmo squats on his chin: "That is to say, their personal combat strength is very strong, so the group? Do they often carry out military training?"

Yasisters smiled: "Adults, not every city-state has such frequent training as Amen Dorada, and the intensity of training is still so great. The Crotones spend more time on the training ground than the flowers. There is much less time on the field!"

"It seems that you are dissatisfied with our training." Daphus also smiled.

"How come, I like training most! Especially football!" Assisi immediately defended himself.

"Isn't football a sport?!" Daphus continued to chase.

After a burst of laughter, Asistus asked: "Adult, Crotone and Turui will have a war, will it affect us?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to influence it!" Daves sighed: "A weak neighbor is always much safer than a new, powerful neighbor. At the crucial moment, Amendola said that it must not be pulled. Turui. A stupid Turui is doing something stupid. It seems that the plan to attack Lukania has to be postponed... Hey, it’s really unpredictable!”

Burgos rushed to Amendola and asked Dafos for reinforcements.

In the Senate House, the veterans argued fiercely. In general, the old citizen veterans such as: Cornelus, Rafaas, etc. are not in favor of sending reinforcements. They believe that: Turui attracted the Crotonian army they asked for themselves, not to mention the Amendola In a nominal alliance with Turui, it is actually in a state of demise. There is no need for Amendora Lara to offend a powerful city-state for a neighbor who frequently seeks trouble for himself, and the army sent by Crotone looks very Powerful, even if Turui is united with Amendola, the possibility of being able to beat Crotone is extremely small.

The new citizen veterans such as Capps and Hilos believe that: At present, Crotone is in a big position, and Amendola Lara should wait and see what happens, and make decisions based on the changes in the situation.

The new citizen veterans such as Alexis and Antonios have different views. They feel that it is necessary to protect Turui to ensure the safety of the environment around Amendola. The high walls of Turui City are thick, and Amendo Lala can completely eliminate the need to play in the city to help Turui defend the city. As long as they blocked Crotone's offense, in less than a month, Crotone could only retreat. After all, tens of thousands of soldiers did not consume a small amount of food per day.

Alexis and Antonios’ words are also subtle. Epiphanis said loudly without any scruples: “We would rather have a weaker Turiyi neighbor than a mighty Crotone, that would make us Day and night are uneasy, unless Amendo Lara joins the alliance of Crotone, but are you willing?"

If this is what the Turui messenger Burkes heard, it would be a shame. But at this time Burks was arranged in the side hall of the Senate, waiting for the final decision of the meeting.

Epiphanis’s words touched the veterans here, but after discussing them for so long, the final decision was to be done by Daves.

Dafos looked around at everyone, and said with solemnity: "They have already analyzed the situation very clearly. I don't have to elaborate. I want to say that we have signed an alliance treaty with Turui. This is Under the gaze of the gods, the sacred treaty signed by the name of God! Before we ridiculed Turiyi for betrayal, now when greater danger strikes, can we keep our promise?!"

Daves paused and saw everyone's shame and some contemplation. He raised the volume again and said, "Of course we can! We have to prove to all the city-states of the great Greece that as an ancient city-state with a long history, Amendola Lala Under any difficult predicament, we will keep our promises and maintain the glory and traditions passed down from ancient heroes such as Hercules, Theseus, and Agathons!"

When Davers found Burkes, he announced to him the decision of the Senate: "Amendorara decided to follow the previous covenant and send reinforcements."

Burkes has tears in his eyes.

Due to the flooding of rivers in the north of the Crimea, and the swamps and tidal flats, the army marching in Crotone slowed down and spent a daytime. They arrived in Castellon, which used to be in Sobalis. After being destroyed, the city that had been attached to the Crotone League did not resist. Instead, it opened the gate and welcomed Melanthus into the city.

In the city of Castellón, he saw the entourage of the Turil messenger and Tarantum waiting here.

In the face of the pleading of the Turui messenger, he did not even listen patiently, and said impatiently: "Crottone's saber has pulled out the sheath, and blood will never be recovered."

For the envoy of Tarantum, Melanius showed a little respect, but he asked: "If a city-state violates the agreement and kills the messenger of Tarantum, what will your Tarantum do? Do?! Only paying for some property can be exchanged for the dignity lost by Tarantum?!"

The ambassador of Tarantum was a slogan.

Melanius looked at him disdainfully, and said with a firm expression: "So Turui will be punished!"

At night, the general of Tarantum was ready to go to bed, and the guard hurriedly reported: "General, there are two people outside who want to see you, saying that important information about Turui is going to trade with you..."

Important information about Turui? ! Melanius came to the interest: "Get it in!"

The two sailors dressed up in the watch of the guards, cringing into the bedroom of Melanius.

"Let's say, there is any important information like trading with me." Melanius kept her head on one side, lying on the bed, and looked at the two disdainfully: "If it is really valuable, I will consider you." Request."

The two looked at each other and one of them made up their minds and whispered: "The distinguished general, I am the free people of Turui..."

With the sailor's words, Melanius's eyes were brightened, and he turned and sat up, his face excited...

..............................

Although Daves promised to send reinforcements, he did not immediately call the troops to set off. After all, Turui asked for help. If Amendola Lama rushed to help immediately, the world would only laugh at his childishness.

He first promised to stabilize the military and people's hearts of Turui, so that the Turifs can inspire the fighting and Crotone, and he wants to wait and see: First, to observe the battle between the two sides. Situation, to understand the Crotone inner army; second, the reinforcements can only be reduced when Turieri is most needed, to reduce the casualties of the Amendora soldiers, to gain the gratitude of the Turui people, and to increase the chance of defeating Crotone. . Anyway, Amendola Lara is not far from Turui and only half a day on foot.

The response of Amendola Lara made Neonsis breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, he was grateful to Amendola, and he had a remorse for his original extreme practice. After the news made the Turifs know, the low morale began to rise and they praised Amendola. But the news from the South has caused their hearts to start to be tightened again: Crotone’s army arrived in Castellón in just two days~www.readwn.com~Crimisa, Cass Trondone did not resist, took the initiative to open the door to greet, but also strengthened the troops of Crotone, and more importantly, Crotone rejected the summation of Turui and Tarantum...

The bad news came over and Neonsis was frightened. He cursed Crotone, Crimea and Castellón in the bottom of his heart, and let Burkes go to Amendola, urging them to send reinforcements. At the same time, let the citizens reorganize their armaments, strengthen their defenses, and even begin to consider whether to implement the Ansantas proposal at the moment of such a crisis and mobilize the free people to participate in the war.

But the next day, the Crotone army stationed outside the city of Castellón did not move on. Even they sent people to recover the messengers of Turui, saying that the peace of mind can be discussed.

The news spread to Turui, the generals and the public were in a state of tension, and then they looked forward to the good news of the messenger bringing back the armistice.

In the afternoon, Melanius, with the Turil messenger's delay in agreeing with Crotone's request, was not sincere (in fact, Melanius was too expensive and refused to give in), and announced that the negotiations broke down and was expelled. The Turil messenger then immediately ordered the already prepared army to enter Turui.

When Neonsis got the news, the army of Crotone was already under the gate of Turinan.
