Vol 4 Chapter 44: Dionysius's concern and the funeral of King Sparta

The three men looked at each other.
Zandiparis was busy comforting him and said: "Agacia, you have not done anything wrong! We are all very grateful to you for saving us from the battlefield of death in Asia Minor! As long as we patiently stay in the alliance, we believe that we will eventually gain citizenship and Land, now only a little discomfort. As for Sparta, you have to believe me and Timothy, they will not have any hostile behavior against the Alliance for at least three or four years!"
The Greeks like to drink wine and like to water, think that it is not easy to get drunk and make stupid moves, but tonight, Agacia did not drink beer, the whole drink is not wine, and finally drunk.
Tima Song, they laboriously helped him back home.
When they came out, the three people were embarrassed.
Kryno pouted and said: "He regrets calling us to come to Greece, isn't it ready to help us again?!"
"Agacia is not such a person!" Zandiparis shook his head. "I think he is too stressed recently and wants to drink and relax. However, we really should constrain those who don't listen!"
The two argued for a while, but when they turned back, they saw Tima Song bow his head and walk slowly, thinking about something.
"Tima Song, what do you think?! We should go back to the dock!" Crianno shouted.
Tima Song looked at the two of them and said slowly and earnestly: "I still remember that Daves used to say a word, ‘depending on others is better than relying on yourself’!

Fibidas arrived in Syracuse and was warmly welcomed by Dionysius. He invited Fibidas and his entourage to his own palace, set up a banquet and personally accompanied him.
Looking at the seductive dance of the beautiful female slaves in the center of the banquet hall, Phibidas, who grew up in the military camp from a young age, also felt dry and dry, and he even poured a few mouthfuls of wine.
I heard that when Laishande lived in the small Asian city state he controlled, it was comparable to the princes of the East. It should be like this! Phibidas thought about it.
"Fibidas, I heard that you went to Diaonia, did you do it?" Dionysius was at the top, casually asking, the Spartan warship in the Gulf of Taranto. After a round, someone had already sent the news to Syracuse.
"Yes, but it didn't succeed." Fibida Stan, with a bit of appreciation in his tone: "The governor of the Dionysian Union and the veteran of the Senate are very tough, even if we face Sparta, Also refused to give in!"

Oh!
Dionysius said with a little surprise:
Does it sound good to them?

"Although the contact time is not long, I can feel that they respect war and victory, respect the capable generals and warriors, and the training is very frequent, similar to our Spartans!" Fibidas does not care for himself. Praise: "And this new alliance is developing very fast. I heard that it was only a small city state more than half a year ago. Now I have three cities and two affiliated allies. I believe that it will take a long time to become the dominant Greek. A powerful force!"
After listening to Dionysius, he put out a smile: "This is a good thing. At least the indigenous people of Great Greece met their opponents." That is to say, the wine glass he had originally picked up, "drink", drink On the table, he immediately turned his attention to the army he was about to attack on Carthage.
Phibidas looked in his eyes and a smile on his lips.
..............................
Returning to Sparta's route, Dorobissis asked for a long time: "Fibidas, why do you praise Dionya at the banquet?"
"My praise will make Dionysius sleepless!" Pybidas smiled proudly: "Since Syracuse's predecessor, Gloron, Syracuse is considered to be Sicily and big. The Greek lord. I remember the old man once said that Gron even sent troops to Campania in central Apennines to defeat the Etruscans who besieged Kumai... and Dionysius’s ambition is even greater. He used force to turn the Greek city-states in southeastern Sicily into a subsidiary of Syracuse. Will he allow a powerful force in Greater Greece to threaten the status of Syracuse?!...but he will immediately To attack Carthage, you can't take action against Diaonia in the short term..."
"Oh, that's it!" Dorobissis suddenly realized, but he immediately asked: "Since Dionysius is interested in Great Greece, then Dionys is probably not as good as Lijim and Crotone. The weight in his heart."
"Yes." Fibidas admits this: "Diagna's current strength is not comparable to these traditional big Greek powers, but its speed of development will cause the strong Sicilian's vigilance.

Dorobissis recalled the spectacular sight he had seen when he was invited to review his army by Dionysius. He couldn’t help but exclaim: "It’s amazing how Dionysius is, he can send five or six. The army of 10,000 people, there are two or three thousand cavalry to attack Carthage!"
"There are many people, but I don't see much soldiers who are really good warfare!" Fibidas said half of the facts, half of which is from the sour grape psychology, because even if it has become the Greek hegemon of Sparta, it can not be sent once. Such a huge army, the strength of Syracuse and its affiliated city-states can be imagined.
Let Syracuse, Carthage, and Dionya kill each other! Phibidas cursed in her heart.

In the new year (398 BC), Turij-Castellon Avenue has been fully built, and the thousands of Crotone captives of Dioria have returned because of the half-year deadline. Crotone.
For Davers, his mood is getting more and more tense and excited, because Christo's stomach is getting bigger and bigger, less than a month before the expected date of birth.
At this time, Niutum came to the news that Potentia officially announced its support for Akporu’s son Lusau to retake Grummantum and asked Cincinnag to return to Picosis, otherwise Potentine The Asians will send troops to participate in the war.
Cincinnati suddenly became nervous. He took the initiative to send messengers to the Grummentum tribes who occupied Nancheng. He said that he was willing to immediately implement the requests they had made before, as long as they could reunite and cope with the upcoming Potent. The army of Asia.
Cincinnag’s soft clothes made these tribal leaders very happy. They were also afraid that Lusau would take back Grummentum and would find them in the general ledger because they knew that Lusau, like his father, was also a must-see. .
Everyone thinks this way: external pressure forces the two forces in Grummantum to compromise and rejoin. But when the leaders came to the center of the city and Cincinnage to prepare for peace talks, they did not expect that Cincinnag had ambushed a large number of soldiers in advance, and violently attacked the leaders of the conference and launched a raid.
The tribes of Nancheng were killed by the princes and were neglected. As a result, the Picosis fighters suffered heavy casualties under the premeditated attack. Some of the soldiers surrendered and some escaped from Grummantum.
In the face of the military threat of Potentia, Cincinnag even unified Grummentum. Knowing this news, even Daves had to admire Cincinnack's decisiveness and enthusiasm. I don't know that Cincinnage could do this. Most of the experience was learned from the tragic memory of the Vige people who sneaked from behind. .
Soon, Seta sent a report to the Senate, saying that due to the killing of Cincinnati in Grummantum, some Lukarias fled to Niutum, plus Picoxi. Sri Lanka and Potentia are about to start a war. The small tribes sandwiched between the two forces are afraid of being involved in the war and fleeing south, causing the number of registered citizens registered in Niutum to increase to 8,000. Niutum has neither enough land allocation nor the ability to support so many people, and requires some Lukalians to move to Turui.
Daves and the veterans conducted repeated deliberations, especially during this period of Niutum's stability and the good performance of the Lucanias, which led to a final agreement: agree to the migration.

Fibidas returned to Sparta~EbookFREE.me~ His report to Dionya did not attract the attention of the Elder Council. One of the reasons is that he has always done what he wants, so that the Spartan elders who know him as a man have repeatedly stressed that "the Dionysian Union does not respect Sparta and is unreasonable and must be punished." He himself caused trouble and caused such a result. The more important reason is that the elders now have no energy to deal with this little thing, because Akis, one of the Spartan twins, has died.
Since the time of Homer, Sparta has practiced the rule of the two kings. The king of the direct descendants of Hercules, the king of Hercules, was born in two hereditary royal families: one is the Ajidai family in the center of Sparta. One is the Euglitas family from the south of Laconia. Akis was born in the Euglidian family. Although in this era, due to the rise of democracy, Sparta's royal power has been greatly restricted, but still enjoy many awards, especially when the death of the entire Sparta territory is preparing a funeral for Akis: The cavalry rushed around Laconia to announce the news of the death of King Akis; the women beat the iron pot and reported in the city of Sparta; after learning the news, each household must have two free men, one male. Women dressed in mourning and filial piety; the Pisces must also send a fixed number of people to attend the funeral organized by the Elder Council.
The funeral lasted for ten days. In these ten days, public affairs could not be handled. After ten days, the chief affairs of the elders was to elect a new king.
