Vol 6 Chapter 235: Division of power (continued)

From the map, Dionya's territory in Sicily is the smallest among the three parties. In fact, Davers played a small trick, he did not encircle the entire Catania plain, and the eastern part of the plain was actually under the control of Antrapolis.
"Other city-states, like Agrigento, Gera, Tindares... are neutral city-states, as buffer zones for Carthage, Syracuse, and Dionia." Click on the icons on the map and say seriously.
Oklahoma looked at the map carefully and suddenly said something in his mouth: "Do you also include Messina in these neutral city-states?"
Although Messina is not a large territory, its location is important, so it is also a relatively important city-state in Sicily.
"Of course not included!" Daphus said without hesitation: "The citizens of this new Messina are all colonists from Lockley and Medma. They are the accomplices of Dionysius, this time. In the war, Syracuse was assisted in blocking the Strait of Messina, and he also attacked the port of Lijim many times. Lijim made a suggestion to us, and decided to attack Messina to protect his safety. The hospital has already agreed to their request for joint troops..." Daphus once again concealed the fact that "Diaonia and Lijim decided to jointly manage Messina."
Carthage is not a Greek city-state. Its two most important waterways do not need to pass through Messina, so they don't care much about it. Looking at the map, O'Creton thought about the suggestion that Daves had just mentioned. For a long time, he looked up and said: "The respected King Davers, the Carthage Senate sent me, originally wanted to rewrite Dyiao. The friendly treaty signed between Nia and Carthage, and how Dioria’s next war against Syracuse was carried out. I didn’t expect... I didn’t expect you to give me such a big one... um... ...surprise! However, this is beyond my authority. I must bring your proposal back to the Senate and let them decide whether to accept it."
Davers said that he understood, but he said at the same time: "I hope Carthage's reply can be faster, because the Syracuse people in the city of Sirikit may not be able to persist for a few days and should surrender." Davers confidently said that the words were valid. The news that "Dionisius fled" has been leaked. The soldiers in the city have panic, and the Syracuse people have to send people to discuss. And Daphus took the opportunity to tell the messenger about the latest situation in Sicily. Whether he believes it or not, there will be a greater storm in the city of Siriting.
When O'Creton heard this, his heart was shocked. He understood the meaning of Daves, and the surrender of the Syracuse in the city of Siriting meant the end of the South Italian war. At that time, Carthage and the Dionia, which had already slowed down, negotiated. The conditions may be different.
....................................
Sending away the Carthage messenger who left in a hurry, Henipolis was busy asking: "Your Majesty, will the Carthaginians agree with your suggestion?"
"From the performance of the messenger and the situation of Carthage that we investigated during this time, the city of Carthage is indeed very war-weary, even though the situation in Sicily is very favorable to Carthage, in the Carthage Senate. Many people may not agree to launch a war..." Daphus recalled a lot of information about Carthage that he had seen before, saying: "Things that can be obtained through negotiation, the efficiency of the Carthaginians How could it be stupid to use force to solve it. Moreover, Carthage should understand that occupying the whole Sicily is not only good for it, but has great harm."

Why?
Henipolis asked curiously.
"If you think about it, you can understand why."
"...hey... is it because of this that will provoke the entire Greek world to anger it?"
"Not bad. Carthage all occupied Sicily, not only our big Greece, but also the Greek natives will be directly threatened by a different ethnic group. How can this situation be accepted by the Greeks! Carthage and Siracusa in the past In the war, you should be able to feel this. It is not only fighting with Syracuse, but also with the Greeks of Greece and the Greeks of Greece..." Daves said meaningfully.
"Oh, a city-state of Carthage certainly cannot defeat the power of the whole of Greece. In any case, it will eventually fail."
"Herni, your teacher has recently been interested in Carthage and has collected a lot of information about it. Have you seen it?" Daves turned a topic and asked.
"Your Majesty, you don't know, I have been in Raos before, how can I have time to visit the teacher." When Henipolis mentioned Raos, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"I have read this information and discussed it with Ansitanos. I realized that the Phoenicians had many colonies in the Western Mediterranean and that the colonial time was much earlier than our Greeks, but why do we only know one? What about Carthage?"
"Yeah, why?" Henipolis asked with interest.
Daphus explained in detail: "Because the Phoenicians colonized in a different way than our Greeks. The Greeks colonized because they had fewer people, could not feed more people, and were forced to colonize in order to survive. The land, can survive... Phoenician colonization... No, it should not be called colonization, but a commercial act. The Phoenicians are going to make high profits and venture to the Western Mediterranean hundreds of years ago. Exploring, they found the silver mines on the Iberian Peninsula, the precious metal mines in Sardinia... In order to collect these precious metals and transport them back to the basic soil of Muni, they built a lot on the coast of Africa and the western part of Sicily. Merchant stack.
Please note that it is a business stack, not a town! Most of the Phoenicians in the stack are engaged in metal processing and transshipment trade. In order to meet their daily needs, they must trade with neighboring indigenous people and our Greek city-states, so the Phoenicians are the most in the Western Mediterranean. A race that blends in with the local environment and lives in harmony with the surrounding people. Even if there was a royal battle in the basic soil of the monks and nuns, some of the royal family members of the Thai family fled to Carthage, which led to the rise of Carthage, replacing the mother-in-law of the basic soil of the monks and nuns, and becoming the new trade center of the Phoenicians in the western Mediterranean. The Carthaginians and the Greeks live in harmony -"
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty. The Carthaginians are full of malice against the Greeks of Sicily. They have repeatedly committed to the Greeks, and they also sacrificed children and acted ugly!" Henipolis slammed Daves's words. Said with an angry look.
Daves didn't care, he smiled softly: "Carthage sacrifices children is their custom, I don't comment. But according to your teacher's view, the conclusion is, 'Exactly our Greeks The second initiative to attack the ally of Carthage led to its counterattack.'
A hundred years ago, Prince Sparta Dollys declared that the land near Heraks in western Sicily was once the resting place of his ancestor Hercules, so it was necessary to build a city there. Erlux, but the Carthaginian religious center in Sicily, how could the sinister Spartans build the city, so Carthage launched a war and drove away the Greek coalition brought by Sparta.
A few decades ago, the army of Syracuse’s lord Dillon’s commander launched an attack on Carmel’s friendly ally, Himalah, before it brought in Carthage’s reinforcements. After Dillon defeated Carthage, he turned the war into a great victory for the Greek coalition to defeat the Persians.
In recent years, most of the horror images of the Carthaginians have been intentionally spread by the Syracuse people, forcing the other city-states of Sicily to unite around it..."
"Your Majesty, you mean that this is the trick of the Syracuse people?!" Henipolis was astonished.
"The Carthaginian mothers of Tyre and Sidon cannot provide new immigrants like the Greeks. The Carthage who are not too populous may be alert to the Greek immigrants from the Eastern Mediterranean. The heart of the west of Sicily, so they have to show their force from time to time to shock the greed of these people..."
After Davers’s correct color, Henipolis
snapped
and laughed:
Your Majesty, you are talking like this, and you feel like you are not a Greek.

Daves said with a face: "Only on the standpoint of the neutrals can you realize the true feelings of the Carthaginians. I think Carthage will be happy to accept a friendship from a strong neighbor of Greece!" What Daevus said in his mouth, what he thought was: At this time, Diaonia still can't afford Carthage with strong war potential, don't wake it up, or let him rest assured to continue business, trade, Run a farm.
.................................
Dionysius's boat used the familiarity of the east coast of Sicily to bring the chasing Dioria Clippers into the reef area, thus freeing them from chasing. When passing through Tonys, the boat circumvented the closure of the Dionysian fleet and eventually reached the island of Ortigia.
The island of Ortigia is surrounded by the sea on three sides, with cliffs and cliffs, and walls on it. The defense is quite strict. It also has its own small port, but unless it is allowed by the people on the island, it will stop the boat and not get to the island~EbookFREE.me~ But for Dionysius, this is not a problem. .
When Dionysius first went to the island, Hipparinus, Calidmus, and mercenary leader Meji Collis arrived.
"Apollo is blessed! Dionysius, you are finally back! When you were not there, Herolis launched a rebellion, he moved..."
After listening to the narrative of Minister Kalidems, Dionysius’s heart sank to the bottom of the valley. When he saw the Dionya fleet near the sea in Tonys, his heart was very bad. Premonition, now the hunch becomes a reality, he did not think that the situation in Syracuse would be so bad: the coalition led by Masias was defeated by the Dionysian army, and almost all the city-states north of Syracuse were rebellious. Out of the control of Syracuse. In addition to Ortigia Island, the entire city of Syracuse has become the insurgent world...
The more he listened, the more annoying he couldn’t help but scream: "There is so much nonsense! Don't say it!"
Calidmus was immediately stunned.
Dionysius stood in the air and gasped, smoothing up the disordered thoughts and looking up at his father-in-law: "Where is Phillips?!"
