In this way, the camp can be used as a campsite and military food storage area for the Dionysian army in the Arcadia region. It is also to protect the camp and defend the Spartan army from the north or the south to avoid their threats. To the new city of Megalopolis. "
Speaking of which, he looked at Lycomedes and solemnly said, "It will take at least three days to build the camp. After the camp is basically completed, His Royal Highness Klotokatax will lead the main force to continue eastwards, passing through Taglia , Go north to rescue Mandinia, defeat the Spartans..."
His remarks caused a commotion among the members of the Arcadia. Everyone whispered for a while, and they all agreed with the Dionysian plan and thought that they considered it more thoughtfully.
The first person to respond was Luke Medes, because he understood why the other party looked at himself and said immediately, "We Mandinians are confident that we can stick to at least one month!"
Then someone said, "When our soldiers are assembled, we will rush to Mandinia as soon as possible to fight with you Spartans."
Prentals responded with a serious face, "Our soldiers are very happy to have the opportunity to fight alongside Arcadian citizens! But according to the current situation, I have a suggestion for your reference... Here is your alliance There are many villages around the center, but there is not enough protection. Although we will build camps in the east to stop the Spartans from invading, we are not familiar with the geographical environment here. I don’t know if the Spartans will Will cross the mountains, bypass the camp, and raid Megalopolis...so I suggest that the army you formed should be stationed here, together with our army staying in the camp to defend against the Spartan raids..."
When Prentals made this suggestion, Crotocatax was surprised because it was a bit different from the plan they had previously discussed, but he suppressed his doubts and did not raise an objection on the spot.
But Prentals' words made the Arcadia MPs feel a little emotional. After a brief discussion, they agreed.
At this time, their attitude towards Croto Kataks changed a lot and became more enthusiastic. After all, the Spartans invaded the Acadian territory, but now they are Dionysian. The army was completely in front, avoiding too many casualties of the Arcadians, they inevitably feel guilty.
After Kloto Kataks bid farewell to the Arcadia congressmen and rode on the horse to chase the army, Prentals took the initiative to explain to the young commander, "His Royal Highness, please forgive me Advocate, changed the previously agreed plan."
The previous Dionysia’s military plan was for the Arcadia Alliance to send an army to fight alongside the Dionyan army. This will not only enhance the friendship between the two sides, but also have the Arcadia army as a guide, which will undoubtedly allow Dai The Onia army quickly integrated into this unfamiliar theater.
"I think Lord Prentals must have an important reason to do this," Crotokatax said mildly.
The reason why Prentals dared to make advocacy and change plans temporarily was because after this period of time, he had a deep understanding of his character, which he used to think of others, when he got along with Croto Kataks. Croto Kataks let him take a heart-warming pill at the same time, but also made him determined to help the young prince.
Prentals picked up his spirit and said seriously, "Your Highness, although you did not affect our alliance with the Arcadia Alliance, you did not pursue the assassination very generously, but even if the assassin came from Olympia, How did they know that we will meet with the Arcadia Union MPs today? How did they wear the Bolton of the same color as the Arcadia MPs, avoid the inspections of the Arcadia soldiers, and get into the ranks ?... None of this can cause us to think deeply, because it will affect our next battle with the Spartans?"
"You mean..." Crotocatax thoughtfully. "Which of the Arcadia MPs are spies?"
Prentals further reminded that "The Arcadia alliance was just established, but the alliance between these Arcadia city-states and Sparta lasted for decades, and it was the last of all the alliances in Sparta. The oldest and strongest relationship, although they have betrayed Sparta now, but I think there is no shortage of people close to Sparta in their country..."
Crotocatax thought for a moment, and then hesitantly said, "You are worried that when we fight with the Arcadians, they will... suddenly become friends to enemies? So you proposed to let Ah The Cartier army stays at Megalopolis, will they not join us?"
"His Royal Highness." Prentals said sincerely. "In the previous wars of the Kingdom, His Majesty has wisely countered the enemy many times, thus shortening the time to win the final victory. Because of this, we must be more careful of the enemy. Apply this strategy to us, especially now that we are going to fight the powerful Spartans with all our strength. If the allies on our side suddenly attack us, the consequences will be unimaginable...so for insurance For the sake of it, it is safer for us not to let the Arcadians participate in the frontal battle.
What's more, with the strength of our army now enough to deal with the Spartans, without the drag of the Arcadian army, we will command the army more smoothly and fight more resolutely! "
"I see, thank Master Prentals for reminding me, I agree to implement the new plan." Crotocatax also seemed a little suspicious. "It's just... without the help of the Allied forces, we will follow How can you get help from the local people during the battle? They are not regarded as enemies?"
"His Royal Highness, not all Arcadia city-states have ever been closely related to the Spartans."
Printols’s reminder gave Croto Kataks an eye, "You mean Mandinia! ... It seems that while we were building the camp, we had to send someone to have a good talk with Luko Medes, Hope he can send us some Mandinians as guides."
"Yes, Your Highness." Prentals said respectfully. This was not contrived, but from the heart. In his view, although the young prince lacked military experience, he was not only good at listening to his subordinates, but once he dialed it, he could quickly make an analogy. It was definitely not a puppet that could be fooled. Bloodline.
At this point, they had already caught up with the march.
The soldiers who have been marching for a long time have already sung the "Song of the Legion" under the command of the team officers. Kloto Kataks immediately rode close to the marching column, regardless of their identity, singing with the soldiers, even singing When excited, he shook his head, not only did not make the soldiers feel funny, but also made them feel friendly.
The heroic song washed away the fatigue of the soldiers, and also echoed among the hills and mountains, allowing the members of the Arcadia to stop and listen. Although the lyrics were not clear, it did not affect them. Morale is high!"
"Not only the morale is high, you look at their equipment, look at their march, this is a well-trained army, they are fully capable of confronting Sparta!"
"Is it just confrontation?! You and I have fought against the Spartans many times. The Spartan soldiers are indeed well trained, but how many are they! Look at this Dionysian army for so long I haven’t seen the tail of the team! The number that General Dionysia said is probably correct. Their soldiers are more than 30,000, and the sparse Spartan soldiers are probably not their opponents!"
"Can you see the combat strength of the army just by marching? I think in the end, we will only know the strength after the two sides actually fight!"
"Anyway, with Dionysia as a ally, we will feel very at ease!"
"Don’t forget, the former powerful Spartan as our ally, but why do we need to form an alliance? Hey! I’m afraid to drive away an old wolf king and usher in a new wolf king!"
"The key is that this new wolf king is not quite the same as our belief, but they think Hades is the master of all gods! Otherwise why did the Olympians assassinate the commander of Dionysia! Don’t forget , Zeus is also the patron saint of our Arcadia Alliance!"
As soon as the words came out, there was silence around them.
Luke Medes quickly said aloud, "You~EbookFREE.me~ Our covenant with Dionysia made it very clear that both sides respect their religious beliefs and will never slander and interfere with each other... Everyone is completely in this regard Don't worry! Now that the Spartan army is attacking, it is related to the survival of the alliance. We need a strong ally Dionia to help us repel the enemy. This is what we should do at this time. Other things can be done. Don't worry about it for now!"
"Lu Kemedes is right!" Some congressmen agreed loudly, but some congressmen remained silent.
Lu Kemedes is a little helpless. This is the status quo of the league. He has spent too much energy to convince them these days. Now he feels a little tired...

At the Ipamironda mansion in Thebes, Peropidas just visited.
"Ipamironda, what are you doing these two days, you disappeared as soon as every meeting ended, why are you hiding at home?" Peropidas saw Ipamironda, He put on a look to ask the teacher to blame.
Ipami Lunda knew his best friend and said lightly, "The quietness of the house will help me calm down and think."
