Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"The Dionysian Union has no intention of fighting a Greek city-state, but if a city-state wants to provoke a war, wants to insult us and invade our land! What are our answers?" Daphus looked around and shouted loudly. Asked.

"Death in the end! Destroy the enemy!"

"Death battle in the end!..." The former mercenary veterans shouted in unison.

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

Pybidas ironed his face out of the synagogue, and Dorobissis greeted him and saw him in the wrong mood. He asked: "How is the situation?!"

"Go! Go on board! Go back!" Pybidas did not breathe out.

Under the escort's "escort", Phibidas and his party hurried back, boarded the passenger ship, and sailed to the estuary under the surveillance of two patrol boats.

"You said, if my ship hits the past!" Fibidas pointed to his left and right and clamped his boat to the central patrol boat. He asked angrily: "Will they sink?!"

"Ah?..." Dorobesis was shocked. Before he arrived at the Chamber, he pretended that the trip would fail, but actually made Fibidas angry, what happened in the Chamber? He didn't dare to ask if he was interested.

Pfeidas looked at the city of Turui, which was about to disappear into the field of vision. He secretly buried the shame of this time in his heart and said coldly: "Let's go to Castron!"

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

"The ruling adult, this time rid the Spartan messenger, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to the alliance." Cornelus worried.

"I have said that the mercenaries will be driven away! You have to stay, now the trouble is coming!" Polluxs said dissatisfied.

In the face of blame, as a former comrade-in-arms comrade, Capps and Agarcia, they are really not refutable. At this time, Plessinas stood up and said: "The faults of the mercenary corps did not receive the punishment of the alliance law?! Did the other free people not make a mistake?! Why do you have to get rid of those employment? What about the soldiers?! You, our coalition is extremely labor intensive. It is because of the open, free and equal attitude of the alliance that it has attracted so many Gentiles and free people. There is no reason to rush to the Federation. People will only destroy the image of the alliance and will only make all the Greeks who want to trust us doubts!"

"But what if Sparta declares war on us?" Orpheus asked with some concern.

"What about that, do you want to agree to Sparta's unreasonable request, let Daphus lead our citizens to Asia Minor?!" Plesinras snarled.

"I...I..." Orpheus glanced at Davis in a guilty conscience and dared not speak.

"Sparta may not dare to fight with us!" Daves smiled confidently: "We are not a small city-state, but a powerful force in Greece! Sparta wants to win, I am afraid it is not so easy. But most of its energy is now concentrated in Asia Minor. The war with Persia is not an easy task, nor is it easy to end! I also heard that Sparta had just been in love with the Olympia Games. There was a war in Lisz City. It can be seen that even on the Peloponnese peninsula, there are many city-states that are dissatisfied with Sparta. At this time, it dares to launch another war in Greater Greece. I doubt it! Daves said this in his mouth. In his heart, he had regretted that he had not carefully considered himself and agreed to agree to Agarcia. There has never been an absolute thing in the world. In case Sparta is crazy, it is necessary to fight with the Dionysian League. Although Daves is not afraid to fight with Sparta, it is only the original planned expansion plan. .

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

The Spartan warship’s move to Castellon was unexpected by the Alliance, and the patrol boat immediately returned the discovery to the Senate.

After an urgent negotiation, the Daves and the elders decided to send the messenger to rush to Castron and take the order of the Senate: Castelon refused to accept the Spartan messenger.

When the messenger rides the fast horse, and by the convenience of the newly built Turui-Castellon Avenue, when he quickly rushes to Castellon, the chief general of Castellon City, Amiclis, has led the other. The generals and some members of the 100-member council rushed to the port to prepare for the Spartan messengers. After all, the Greek city-state sergeant Sparta's messengers came, as a remote state, they certainly did not dare to neglect.

When I saw Fibidas who disembarked from the boat, when I was about to introduce each other and say hello, the men rushed over and handed Achilles a papyrus. After Ami Klis’s face change, he immediately turned to Pfeibida. Si said: "The distinguished Spartan messenger, there is an urgent matter we need to discuss, please wait a moment!"

Then, without waiting for Phibidas to reply, he took the generals and the lawmakers to the distance.

"What seems to be happening?" Dorobissis saw them in a circle, arguing about something, curiously said.

Fibidas didn't talk. He stared at the distance and felt a little bad.

Amyklees came back to him with a bit of a decisive look: "The distinguished Spartan messenger, I am sorry to tell you that Castron, as a member of the Dionysian League, just received it. The harsh demands of Onia will not allow you to enter the city of Castellón! So--"Amigris apologetically beckoned, a team of soldiers came up.

"You are humiliating Sparta! Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?!" Filidas threatened with anger, he had thought about entering Castro City, leaving Castron and Dior Nia’s relationship is best left to leave the Diorian League, because he understands that it is not long before Castron joins the alliance. In addition, he also wanted to stay here for a few days, sending soldiers into the port of Turui, catching a few mercenaries who fled here, going back to the Presbyterian Council, and at the same time revenge against the Dioria Alliance, now It seems that it can not be achieved.

Looking at the violent departure of Fibidas, Amigris was relieved and then worried: the Diorian Union was too courageous to dare to provoke the Spartans, in case they really led the troops. What should you do with Castellon? !

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

Fibidas was still not reconciled. He turned the bow and headed for Tarantum.

As a strong Greek powerhouse, Tirambas does not think that the Dionysian Union can influence it, and Tarantom is a sub-state of Sparta, and the two sides are friendly.

The establishment of Tarantum was somewhat dramatic: a few hundred years ago, Sparta greeted the fertile land of the Mesena region in the west of Turagna, and launched a war. The war has been playing for nearly a hundred years. Finally, he finally annexed Mesena and turned the Messenia of the same race into a black sergeant. However, because the Spartan men have been fighting for a long time, the women are lonely at home, and as a result, they have a relationship with the Perisian people in Sparta, giving birth to a group of babies who cannot be recognized by Sparta when they grow up. So the leader of them, Franchos, after many efforts, obtained the opportunity for Sparta to allow him to ask Delphi for the gods. As a result, the Temple of Apollo gave a confusing god: to find a rain You can build a city from a place where the clear sky is falling. Sparta then agreed that Franzus led these illegitimate children and the exiled people to leave Sparta to establish a colony.

Francois led the team to sail west, looking for settlements, their fleet crossed the Adriatic Sea, and then to the Gulf of Taranto, all the way to see a lot of places, did not meet the requirements of the gods, and for a long time The maritime voyage made the people who accompanied it complain, and Franzos was also very depressed. He told his wife about his distress, and his wife put his head on his lap to comfort him. As a result, the sentimental wife was depressed and unhappy. When Francos felt her tears splash on his forehead, he Suddenly aware of the true meaning of the gods, because his wife's name means "clear sky." So he immediately ordered people to disembark, and the place to disembark was the later Puglia Bay in Tarantum. They built a city here and named it the city of Taras, the son of Poseidon.

Although the founder of Tarantum was originally left because of the inability to obtain Spartan citizenship, and later, Tarantum has developed into a democratic city state (but it is similar to Amendola). The dual-ruling government, the Senate, and the Citizens' Congress are all born out of Sparta's double kings, the elders' council, and the civic assembly. They are not a monopoly, not so oligarchy. They are a prosperous commercial city and always stick to it. The agricultural tradition of Sparta is very different, but it has always maintained good relations with Sparta. In the Peloponnesian War, Tarantum always stood firmly on the side of Sparta and traveled to Sicily in the Athens Fleet. When he passed the Great Greece, he refused to let him park and provide food and water. Therefore, it was retaliated by Athens, which strongly supported the Mesapi people against Tarantum.

The arrival of Fibidas was of course a grand welcome from Tarantum, but after Filipas’s high-level sympathy with Tarantum, he immediately mentioned the arbitrariness of the Union of Dionynia against Greece. Traditional city states lack respect. And reminded the veterans of Tarantum: The Dionysian Alliance promotes the use of force and aggression, which is the danger of the great Greek city-state!

He also suggested that Tarantum should no longer form an alliance with the Dionysian alliance, but instead limit its expansion.

The newly appointed governor, Diomelas and 攸Marcas, just looked at him and talked about it. Until Fibidas repeatedly forced his position, he smiled and said: Dionysian Union and Sparta There must have been a misunderstanding, and Tarantum is willing to help you mediate. Other things are not mentioned otherwise.
