Vol 9 Chapter 143: Leotichides' new mission

"Yes." Aristilas responded. He had already reminded him of what measures King Daveus would take afterwards, which was not something he should care about.
"By the way, did the Macedonians join this alliance?" Daveus suddenly remembered Cesari's neighbor, the legendary kingdom in the history of the previous life, and couldn't help asking casually.
"Oh, I heard that Athens also sent a messenger to Macedonia, but King Marston was seriously ill and heard that he could not get out of bed, so he refused the request of the messenger of Athens. Now the situation in Macedonia is a bit chaotic, and there is Cesari in the south. Human threats. In this case, the King of Macedonia did not dare to risk the army to fight south."
"At this time, Macedonia is still a weak country..." Daveus sighed in exasperation.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Henripolis stood at the door and said, "Your Majesty, Prosius is here."
"Your Majesty, then I will go down first." Aristilas said immediately with interest.
"It's hard work! After going back, continue to pay close attention to the dynamics of the Greek city-states and report to me at any time." Davers said seriously.
"Yes!"
After the Kingdom Intelligence Director left, Deverster sorted out his grooming before saying to Henripolis: "Heny, you personally pick him up."
"Okay." Henripolis nodded deliberately.
As Leo Titchides entered the office, Davers greeted him warmly.
"Your Majesty." Although he was not wearing armor, Leotichides had a very formal salute.
After Daveus returned the salute, he begged him to sit down, and then he sat on the wooden chair opposite him and asked with a smile, "How have you been resting these days?"
"Too busy to panic, I still hope something can be done." Leotichides still had a hint of pleading on some of his blank faces.
"Actually... I don't care about your past identity, neither me nor the Ministry of Military Affairs. There were many people who were once kings of a certain power, chief generals of a certain city-state, and leaders of a tribe in the veteran's house. Many of them were once enemies. Now they are citizens of Dionysia, contributing their own strength to the kingdom, not to mention that you have made a lot of contributions to the kingdom over the years!"
After sighing, Dafus smiled and said seriously: "But you have been concealing your true identity, and this concealment has had a great impact on this military operation. This is what I decided to tell you The reason for the transfer and the temporary suspension of the Ministry of Military Affairs."
"It's indeed my fault to keep concealing my true identity. I have no opinion on the punishment given by the Military Department." Leo said equally earnestly.
"Now there is a problem." Daveus patted the armrest gently: "I'll call you Prosius in the future? Or Leotichides?"
Leotichides did not hesitate and immediately responded: "Lertichides has become a thing of the past. I am now a citizen of Prosius and Dionysia, and Prosius will also serve as the surname of my family. , Keep passing on."
A smile appeared on the corner of Davos's mouth, saying: "Two days ago, the messengers of Egypt came to Turri and told me a message,'Persian troops are gathering in large numbers in East Phoenicia, and some have invaded Egypt. Attempt'. Egyptian pharaoh Tanis hopes that when the Persian army invades Egypt, we will send reinforcements to Egypt..."
Leotichides heard this and subconsciously grabbed the armrest.
Sure enough...Daveus looked at him and said slowly: "Egypt is our ally. During the Western Mediterranean War, it was selfless to assist us with a lot of food, so that we can survive the most difficult times. Now that they are experiencing difficulties, we should certainly lend a helping hand and give our full support.
In addition, Persia regards Dionia as an enemy and sent reinforcements to help Carthage during the Western Mediterranean War. In the past two years, it has instigated the Greek city-states to unite against us... so assisting Egypt and fighting Persia is a double benefit. Good thing.
The Council of Ministers of Administration of the Kingdom has passed the resolution of
Rescue Egypt
. After discussing with the Ministry of Military Affairs, I think that you are the most suitable person to serve as a commander of reinforcements. Are you willing to accept this appointment and go to Persia to fight? "
Leotichides, who has been idle for a while, of course is willing to accept this appointment, but he still suppressed the impulse in his heart and asked first: "Your Majesty, do not know which legions the Kingdom will send as reinforcements?"
Daveus applauded Leotichides’ ability to remain calm under such circumstances. He said aloud: "At present, we are considering three Sicilian legions as the main force of the reinforcements, and the second fleet provides assistance at sea. In addition, considering that the territory of Egypt is vast and flat, which is conducive to the cavalry, and is planning to let the African cavalry corps participate in the expedition, considering that the Persian army is mainly projected, we will also recruit 2,000 Balearic troopers...how are you? Is this arrangement satisfactory?"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to accept your appointment." Leotichides responded decisively.
"Persia is not our Dionysian. Their military mobilization will not be so fast. It may take some time to really attack Egypt. You don't have to worry too much. Go to Sicily first and get familiar with the legions you will command.
Among these troops, the Eighth Army has the strongest combat effectiveness, and you are the old chief of the Eighth Army. It has led it to win many honors. I believe that if you take over this support army, you will get the support of the soldiers faster...
However, you should not first gather troops on a large scale to avoid premature consumption of military food. After all, the army in Peloponnese also consumes a lot of military food. "
Hearing this, Leotichides couldn't help but ask: "When I lead the army to Egypt, what will happen to this military food supply?"
"The Egyptian pharaoh Tanis has made a promise in his letter that all the military supplies for the reinforcements will be supplied by him." Daveus said unhurriedly: "Egypt has always been the main granary in the Mediterranean, and its political situation has been relatively stable in recent years. It is said that the grain reserves are sufficient, so you don’t have to worry. Of course, the military department will also send you some supplies as supplements in due course."
Leotichides nodded and said nothing for a while.
Daveus looked at him but went on to say: "I heard that when you left Mesenia, you reminded Crotokatax,'Don't let your guard down on other Greek city-states outside Sparta, They are always fickle...'.
Now, your worries have become a fact. Many Greek city-states headed by Athens are forming an alliance against Dionysia, which will undoubtedly bring great difficulties to our strategy of controlling the Greek mainland, and our If the war cannot be ended in a short period of time, the reinforcement of Egypt will be added here, and you will undoubtedly fall into the dilemma of fighting on both sides...You know more about Greece, what do you suggest? "
Listening to Daveus, Leotichides thought about this problem in his mind. Of course, he had become a commander. He certainly did not want to affect the reinforcement of Egypt because of the war in Greece.
A moment later, he said: "Your Majesty, the Gauls of Italy were regarded as flood beasts by the races of Etrunia and Latin in the north a few years ago. They are numerous and fierce and aggressive. Even the kingdom is regarded as a serious trouble.
But your majesty, you summoned 100,000 troops at once, and it took only a few months to defeat the Gauls, and now their territory has been merged into the kingdom. "
Leotichides briefly mentioned the conquest of the Gauls. After all, he was the commander of the North Gaul at that time, and there was no doubt that there was too much to boast.
"The war on the mainland of Greece is actually similar to the Gaul War. It looks like a lot of city-states and complex situations. It seems that its citizens are also very good at fighting. But in fact, the Peloponnese, plus Central Greece, Northern Greece, and even The upper Ionian islands have a land area that is far less than the vast territory of the kingdom, and the population is much worse, not to mention weapons and equipment, logistics supplies...
His Majesty can completely conquer most of the army in the kingdom like the Gauls, and attack it with military force far beyond the native Greece. It will certainly complete the conquest of the native Greece in a short time. "
"Um..." Davers stroked his jaw, thoughtfully.
After sending Leotichides away, Davos asked Henripolis to take a wooden board map of Greece, facing the map by himself, and lost in thought.

Asidamas walked into the main residence of Philae and saw Tagus Yiasong of Thessaly pacing back and forth at the entrance of the living room. He stepped forward and asked: "Master, UU reading books www.uukanshu.com you What's the matter with me?"
Yiasong recovered from his contemplation, put the arm of Asidamas more respectfully, and walked into the living room. After he sat down, he said solemnly: "I just received the news, Dioni The Asian army defeated the 30,000-strong army formed by Sparta with the support of Persia in Tagya!"
"Spartan suffered another defeat in the battle again?!" Asidamas was shocked by the news. For a politician who spent most of his life in the era of Spartan domination, it was a bit Difficult to accept.
"Yes, I heard that the Dionysians not only defeated the Spartan army, but also occupied the Spartan camp, captured many soldiers, and drove the Spartan soldiers into the mountains. They also took the opportunity Captured Taglia... Jason said emotionally.
Asidamas sighed softly and said with some sighs: "This shows that even with the support of Persia, the Spartans cannot be the opponents of the Dionysians, and decline is inevitable... Master, what are your plans?"
Jason sat down in the chair next to him and said, "I want to hear your suggestions first."
