Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Hearing the number spit out by Printols at this moment, and seeing the Dionysian army marching incessantly in front of him, the Arcadia deputies felt that even if the number said by the other party was watery, it should not be too different. many.

Therefore, the attention of the lawmakers to Dionia has been raised to a new level, and even some people have temporarily suppressed other thoughts in their hearts.

General Clotokatax, let me introduce you to the members of our alliance. Lucomedes' voice broke the brief silence that suddenly appeared.

Great! Clotokatax nodded with a smile.

This is Meretus of Mandinia...

Nice to meet you!

...

Clotokatax's sincere expression, sincere words and elegant demeanor left a good impression on the introduced MPs, and the whole atmosphere became friendly.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the members, and then there was a complaint, Hey, don't rush forward, the two of you, I'll introduce you later.

Lu Kemedes was stunned for a moment, then looked back, wondering who was so rude and embarrassing the Alliance.

Suddenly, there was a loud voice in my ear, Your Highness, be careful!

Then, he saw the guards on the left and right sides of Commander Dionia in front of him suddenly rush forward. At the same time, the two MPs beside him were violently pushed down, and he was also brought down. Someone came from behind. He jumped out, and when he landed, he stepped on his hand, and the pain was piercing to the bone.

But he endured the pain and shouted eagerly, Be careful, there are assassins!!

The two who rushed out of the crowd held bright daggers and rushed towards Crotoclotokatax viciously.

Two palace guards had already blocked him, and they drew their swords and stabbed each other.

One of them was immediately stabbed, and the other burly assassin turned slightly sideways, avoiding the key point, he just endured the sword, and then used the inertia of dashing forward to smash the guards in front of him.

At this moment, Printols from the side flew up and kicked the ankle on which he was standing. He suddenly fell forward, and the short sword stuck on the sternum touched the ground and pierced his chest. The assassin immediately There was no breath, and the dagger in his hand fell to the feet of Clotokatax.

Crotokatax has been through several assassinations like this,

It's just that these are more dangerous, his expression is still calm, he picked up the dagger and looked at it, then pushed away the long shield that the guards covered him, and thanked the guards and Printoles who intercepted the assassins.

When I was young, I was from the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade. It's rare for me to have a chance to fight the enemy in recent years.

Clotokatax quickly stepped forward and helped Lucomedes up. During this process, the palace guards at the rear rushed up, armed with swords and shields, and took the dozens of Arcadia Alliance members who were in a panic. Surrounded by groups.

After Lucomedes got up, he didn't have time to thank him, and regardless of the pain in his right hand, he ran towards the two assassins who fell to the ground, and was stopped by the guards.

Let me see them! Let me see them! Lucomedes shouted eagerly.

Crotokatax nodded in agreement.

Lucomedes first looked at the assassin who had been pierced by the sharp sword, and then looked at the assassin who had been slashed to the neck and was bleeding profusely.

The assassin was almost unconscious, and he kept murmuring in his mouth.

Lycomedes ignored the blood soaked Bolton, and listened closely, Lord of the gods... Zeus is above... Great and loving... Zeus protects... Lord of the gods... Zeus is above...

Since the assassin was dying, he did not dare to ask loudly, but frowned for a while, then turned around and said to Clotokataxus with a serious face, Please believe us! We won't just forge an alliance and send someone to assassinate our allies at this critical moment!

Clotokatax looked at the terrified Arcadia deputies, stepped forward without any hesitation, and said loudly, I believe in you—Dionia's allies! I'm afraid this is some power. Afraid to see us forming an alliance, it will take this despicable way to make us who have just formed an alliance suspicious of each other!

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the palace guards immediately put away their swords and shields and began to retreat, but there were still guards on both sides of Clotokatax.

Lucomedes breathed a sigh of relief for a while, then looked at the congressmen and said loudly, Aguirus, come here and see if you recognize these two assassins, I just listened to their accents, I feel like you guys people from the west.

This is absolutely impossible! Aguirus stepped out of the crowd and looked at Lucomedes angrily, but he walked quickly to the two assassins to identify them carefully, then lay down on the ground to listen, and finally he Standing up, he said very confidently to Clotokatax, These two assassins are definitely not the people of Okomenus! But I can roughly guess where they come from!

Where are you from? Lucomedes asked anxiously.

Aguirus said with a slightly complicated expression, It should be near Olympia, where people have a somewhat different title for the god Zeus...

Oh, you said that, I remember it! Lucomedes suddenly realized, he hesitated for a moment, and then said to Clotokatax, These two assassins are probably sent by the Pisa, because They were loyal allies of the Spartans, but it was also possible that the Olympians were self-inflicted...

Although Lycomedes did not finish his words, Clotokatax already understood the meaning of his words because Dionia made Hades the protector of the kingdom, and also regarded him as the lord of the Greek gods. , This is obviously completely different from the Greek native view of gods, especially for the Olympian people who have the most magnificent temple of Zeus, hold the largest Greek games to worship Zeus, and have the most devout Zeus believers in Greece. The belief of the Onians is to hate to the core!

Clotokatax subconsciously looked at the temple of Zeus still under construction in the new city of Megalopolis, and originally wanted to take the opportunity to promote the treatment of various beliefs and religions by the Kingdom of Dionia. The attitude of treating everyone equally, it’s not that he never did such a thing in Rome, but after thinking about it, he gave up his idea and said, “Now that everything is clear, Pisa and Olympia sent people to assassinate me in an attempt to destroy Dioni. The alliance of Ya and Arcadia, to stop our Dionian army reinforcements to Arcadia, we must not let their plot succeed! Repel the invading Spartans as soon as possible, and then return to the Pisa Reckon!

That's right! Mandinia is now being besieged by the Spartans, and they are in urgent need of rescue! said a Mandinian MP eagerly.

The other MPs also scrambled to join in, and everyone wanted to get out of this weird and awkward atmosphere.

How is the situation in Mandinia now? Clotokatax looked at Lucomedes, who had negotiated an alliance agreement with the leader of Mandinia for two days. Steady and foresight was impressive, so he was more willing to believe what he said.

Lucomedes looked at his Mandinian colleagues and said in a heavy tone, We Mandinians have learned the lessons of the last destroyed city. The new city designed and built should be said to be very strong and not afraid of the enemy. Long siege, but... we didn't expect the Spartans to employ so many soldiers and well-equipped, and if the Spartans continued their onslaught, we were concerned that the city of Mandinia would not be able to withstand it for long, and the situation It is likely to appear, because the Spartans hate us Mandinia extremely! Once the city of Mandinia falls, I am afraid that this time the entire city will be slaughtered by the Spartans!

Clotokatax nodded sympathetically, and was about to speak when Printols next to him asked, How many people are there in the Spartan army besieging Mandinia?

Combining with the reports of the messengers who have escaped to the city several times, the number of soldiers in the Spartan army is about 20,000, and the heavy infantry is no less than 6,000. They also have more than 1,000 cavalry... Lu Kemede S replied.

Printols compared what he said with the information detected by the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade, and he had a general idea, and then gestured to Clotokatax with his eyes.

Clotokatax has calmed down at this time, and since he almost made a promise just now due to impulsiveness, he made a gesture of please speak with a little guilt.

Printols immediately asked again, What kind of response plan does your Arcadia Alliance have for the Spartan invasion?

After receiving the news of the Spartan invasion, our alliance has begun to mobilize the entire region. Lycomedes said solemnly, But the Spartan mercenaries came from the northeast of Arcadia, The southeastern part of Arcadia is adjacent to Sparta. Therefore, citizens of the entire eastern city-state must guard their cities first. It is estimated that the alliance can only gather more than 3,000 troops, and it will take at least four or five days. Time will come together and then we will lead this army to clear the siege of Mandinia, but we are too small compared to the Spartan army...so we need you urgently in order to repel the Spartans s help!

It's not just about saving Mandinia, but if Sparta's own army also attacks from the south, it may directly threaten this place! The words of another member of the council resonated with everyone.

Looking at the worried-faced Arcadian Union MPs, Printols exclaimed, Dionia's reinforcements are heading east, and are expected to reach the border of the Tygea region (the region with Sri Lanka) this afternoon. Bada Territory is adjacent), we will build camp there, and try to make the camp eastward, blocking the access to Taigea.
