Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The pen that was writing quickly stopped, and Henipolis took a deep breath: erecting a statue in front of the administrative building is already a great honor. Since the establishment of Dionysus, only Merses has this honor. , and it was erected after his death; the rapid rise of Dionia in a few decades mainly relied on a strong military, and the star-studded generals were the pillars supporting this powerful force, but There has never been a name for a legion or a fleet after a person. If the First Fleet can finally be named successfully, Cykrian will undoubtedly be the first person in the Dionysian army. Even if he were to die immediately, perhaps he would be happy. take it...

When Henepolis was distracted, Davos' words continued: Appoint Midorades as the temporary commander of the First Fleet, Stefankas as the wartime commander of the Second Fleet, and the first fleet of the First Fleet. Squadron commander Lamarcas has made outstanding military exploits. This time, he assisted Cycrian to defend the Persian fleet's attack stubbornly. He was specially appointed as the commander of the third fleet during the war. Suppress the Persian fleet, completely control the sea in the Eastern Mediterranean, ensure the transportation safety of each fleet, and provide assistance for the army to attack Persia!

Henipolis kept writing, but he was thinking in his heart: Saying he took over temporarily, it was just to make Cycrian and the crew of the First Fleet feel better. I am afraid that His Majesty does not think that Cycrian can recover at all. The promotion of Lamarcas in the First Fleet should make the crew of the First Fleet feel better.

Write a letter to Alexis and ask him to inform the troops to prepare for an attack! Write a letter to the administrator of Naukrates and ask him to arrange a convoy of convoys and be ready to set off east at any time!

Davos stared at the ostriches running through the trees in front of him. After a while, he turned and looked down at Henipolis, and said aloud, Heney, are you ready, we're going to Persia!

Henipolis immediately said excitedly: Your Majesty, I have been looking forward to this day, and the most brilliant chapter in my biography is there!

His left hand pointed to the east.

……………………………………………………

In March, after the news of the Greek coalition defeating the Persian Asian Minor army in Misia spread, it caused a huge shock to the people in western Asia Minor. Many towns that were in a wait-and-see state rioted one after another, drove out the local Persian garrison, and publicly announced their support for Dionia. .

While accepting their surrender, Leoticides demanded food supplies. At the same time, after letting the troops rest for a while, he soon advanced to Frisia, the stronghold of the Persian army.

The Persian army of Asia Minor was originally an army that was put together temporarily. After suffering a fiasco, some regional troops with low morale refused to continue fighting, and some even led the remnants back to their areas without asking Phanabass for instructions.

Facing the rapid approach of the Greek coalition, Phanabaszos, whose troops had been drastically reduced,

He did not try his best to defend himself, but after some conspiracy by his colleagues, he arrested Jason in the name of a traitor.

Jason, who finally escaped back to Phrygia, was executed before he could defend himself. In his report to the Persian king, Phanabazos argued that he was hired by the Greeks who were only responsible for the battle with the Greek coalition. The army suddenly turned against each other, which was the main reason for the failure of the battle.

The Persian commanders and generals used Jason as a scapegoat and wanted to escape the guilt of their defeat, but they panicked the Greek mercenaries who returned from the defeat. Several mercenary officers called General Jason to avenge The rebellion was launched under the banner of the flag, although the accusation of the unreliable Greek mercenaries was confirmed, but it caused the situation in Phrygia to be completely out of control, and Fanabazos had to lead the remnants of the army to continue to retreat.

The Greek coalition successfully occupied Gerdium, the center of Phrygia, and Leoticides did not continue to pursue eastward and inland. Heading south, the soldiers pointed directly at Lydia, and they did not encounter any effective resistance along the way. By the end of May, the Greek coalition forces quickly entered the area around the important Lydian town of Sades.

The Leoticid-style rapid march thwarted attempts by the Persian garrison in the area to divert the wealth of the area, and the powerful military force of the Greek coalition frightened the defenders of Thaddes, who voluntarily surrendered the city.

After the Greek allied forces occupied Thaddes, they did not continue to attack, but repaired the area, while Leoticides was waiting for the arrival of the men he had requested from King Davos.

At the beginning of June, Leoticides led the generals of the coalition and some officials of the former Lydia out of the city to meet the Diorian messenger.

The Dionian messengers are not one, but a group of people. The leader was an old man. Although he had gray hair and an old face, his expression was resolute and his gestures were quite majestic.

Lord Prossius, I'm really sorry, I'm a little late! Knowing Leoticides' withdrawn character, the old man said after seeing him, I picked up Leoticides more than two months ago. By His Majesty's order, come to Asia Minor to take over the areas you have conquered. However, it took some time to wait for a group of officials selected by the Royal Palace Administration to set off here. We were planning to land at Irion, but we heard that You have captured Gerdium and are marching south, so we diverted to Eritrea (a seaside Greek city-state east of Chios, fell to Dionia after the Greek coalition defeated the Persian army), Hurry up and hurry along the way, although I encountered a little trouble, I finally see you in time...

After listening to Leoticides, he just said dryly: Thank you, Asia Minor is indeed a vast territory, and marching and fighting here is far more time-consuming than in Italy or Greece—

Staff Officer Mukru hurriedly said: Lord Kapus, we have long been looking forward to your arrival! With you at the rear, the Greek coalition will have no worries at all, and can continue to advance eastward with confidence!

Capps was originally a person who didn't like to talk too much, but he has been the chief executive of the district for many years and has undergone a lot of changes. In addition, he has become older and has a more peaceful mentality. Facing such occasions, he is humble. I'm new here and I'm completely unfamiliar with everything here. It takes a while to get acquainted, and I also need your help and support. But I can assure you that I and the officials behind me have come here thousands of miles away. , not to enjoy, but to follow His Majesty's instructions, do your best to ensure the stability of the conquered areas, and do your best to ensure your logistical supply, so that you can attack Persia with all your strength! Because defeating Persia is our common wish, you said right?

The last question was what Capps said when he turned around to the executives who were following him.

Lord Capus is right, defeating Persia is the common wish of our Dionia and allies! The officials responded in unison.

Leoticides showed a rare smile and said, Lord Capus, please let me introduce you - this is Ipamironda, the military commander of the Pioxia Alliance.

But General Ipamironda, who commanded the Thebes coalition to defeat Sparta in the Battle of Leuctra?! Oops, it's an honor to meet you!

I heard that Mr. Caps was a hero in the expedition to Persia. The reason why we dare to attack Persia today is also inspired by your heroic deeds!

Ashamed! Ashamed! I was just a soldier who followed His Majesty back then. Without His Majesty's superb command, I would have long since become a bone buried in this foreign land.

...This is the Athenian general Ifikrates.

Is it General Ifikrates, the famous Athenian general who pioneered light infantry tactics in Greece and defeated the Spartan army many times in the Corinthian War?! It's an honor to meet you!

Lord Capus, you are so complimented! I heard that you already used light infantry tactics to fight the Persians when you fought in Persia, and I also learned from the tactics of your Dionysian army.

Back then, it was His Majesty who forced us to start practicing light infantry tactics. We were unhappy at first, but after practicing it, we found that the effect was very good! You can abandon the inherent Greek military traditions, learn actively, and according to the actual situation in Greece, Creating a light infantry tactic unique to Athens is amazing!

……Who is this--

This one needs no introduction. I know him, the chief general of the Arcadia Alliance, Lucomedes! Four years ago, when I returned to the Senate to report for work, he happened to be visiting Turii, and we attended His Majesty's banquet together. .

Master Capps, I happened to be listening to your debriefing in the Senate at the time, and I was very surprised! There are a large number of fierce and savage Gallic people living in northern Italy. Those areas have remained stable, and they have also allowed the backward Gauls to take the initiative to learn Greek civilization and actively integrate into Dionia, which shows that Lord Capus has the ability!

Lord Lucomedes praised me too much. In Dionia, there are many regional administrators like me who can integrate the local aborigines into Dionia, such as Lord Hiros in Thessaly, and in Egypt. Lord Asisters has outstanding talents in this regard. I hope Hades will bless the people here and cooperate well with us to jointly overthrow the tyranny of Persia and create a better future together!”

...

After everyone introduced each other, Mukru led everyone back to the city, with Leoticides and Kapus walking in the front.
