Vol 4 Chapter 53: Fallen


"So we don't have to worry about Crotone, and the most worrying thing is whether Dionia will accept our occupation of Crimea and become their alliance?" This is the most concerned issue of Kryano.
"I don't know..." Tima Song thought for a moment and still couldn't be sure: "If it is another city-state, I am afraid I will not accept things like this kind of occupation of the city. After all, it is a big Greek, and we are employed outside. The army is full of vigilance. However, Diony is different after all. Davers has got their current status in this way. If we want to succeed, we can only take risks to gamble! If we want to be safe, we should not wait. In the Union of Dionia!"
At this moment, Tima Song is uplifting himself, but Kyrian is looking at the success and is suffering from a bit of loss: "I hope that Agarcia can convince Davis!"
"If Crotone is actually sending out reinforcements, tomorrow we can pretend to be the army of Dionia, and delay the time!" Tima Song’s biting teeth, anyway, has deceived Diony once, and does not care. The second time. Pointing to the messy scene in front of the street, he said anxiously: "No matter what decision Made by Dionia, Crotone will send out reinforcements. We must first do our own thing and capture the whole city as soon as possible. The people of Rimisa sent out whistle to detect the movements in the south, so that the brothers can prepare for the defense! The scene like this must end as soon as possible, otherwise it will always be worrying!"
"Forcibly give orders, prohibit robbery and murder, or military law disposal..." Criano said helplessly: "That is the practice of Daves. He did this in Persia. We can't learn... and attack the city." When the brothers died more than two hundred people, and there were many injuries, they had to let them vent their vents. Tima Song, don't irritate them, let's take it slowly..."
"To tell the truth, in Persia, we also laughed at Davers's practice and said that he was a fool... Today, I know that what is really stupid is us!... I... I have to admire Daves, consider things always. It is a long-term...When we settle down, we must clean up the military discipline!!" Tima Song sighed and made up his mind.
He immediately sent a commander to look for the team officers and let them try to gather the troops. And he and Crianno rushed to the Acropolis of Crimea with the guards and sent people to surrender in front of the city.
The Crimean’s reply was:
Never!!!

So, the two sides met in the afternoon.
Seeing more and more enemies around the besieged city, and began to prepare for siege equipment, the Crimea people who are trapped in the Acropolis are more and more desperate. They realize that the enemy is attacking and many people are starting to cry. Anta Orris, they look tragic and ready to die with the Acropolis.
At this time, there was a commotion in the quiet enemy camp.
........................
"Crotone's army has approached the North Gate?! How is this possible?!" Kryno was like a thunder, and he was so scared that he believed that the news was true.
Toricus was both flustered and confused: "Our spies are in the south... Didn't the Crotones be found in the south?!"
"The leader, yes... is true!! The Crotones are out of the city, and immediately... they are about to attack the city!!" The Tiema Song Guard, who is in charge of the North City, shouted anxiously.
Tima Song is still barely calm, and if he is convinced, how can he not believe it, think a little, then change: "Oops! We are negligent, they may come by boat like us!"
"There are... how many people?" Kryano asked nervously, hoping that the captain spit out a relaxed number.
"I am afraid there are four or five thousand people..." The words of the captain of the guards shattered everyone's luck, and everyone's eyes were concentrated on Tima Song.
At this critical moment, Tima Song asked one sentence: "Brothers, are we going to withdraw?"
"I...I..." Kryno looked at the Acropolis in front, and only struggled for a moment, and immediately reluctantly shouted: "We are not Cremesa! We can block them by the wall! Stick to tomorrow! Just stick to tomorrow... Tima Song, you said that if you want to be the master of Crimea, we can only take the risk to gamble! Bet on life to gamble! Even if I die, I don’t want to Go back to the Dionysian League and make them laugh!!"
"Me too, there is no death, what is so scary! We can block the Crotones by the wall!" Toricos looked stunned and he said the voice of most team officers and soldiers.
"Yes, we are fighting with Crotone!" Everyone immediately echoed.
Tima Song no longer hesitated, staring at the soldiers present, the powerful command of the voice: "Kryano! Toricos! And you quickly go to gather the soldiers scattered in the city, and quickly take them to the city wall!

"Yes!"
"Pasas! You lead two hundred people and watch the Acropolis! The Cremesa people just dare to come out and kill them!"
"The leader, give it to me, you can rest assured!"
"The rest of the people went to the North Gate with me, let the Crotones taste our power! Never let them take our city!" Timarson clenched his fists and roared.
"吼!!!" The mercenary screamed and revived morale.
........................
Tima Song was an excellent commander. In the case of the initial attack, he was able to calm down and command the army, cleverly mobilize the enemy and break the city of Crimea in the shortest possible time. But as a low-level warrior, his eyes that were blinded by shackles and sorrows only saw that a weak and neutral city-state in Crimea, Greece, was able to seize their power, and lacked the qualities of a politician. Take into account the relationship between the major Greek city-states, especially Crotone's attitude towards neighbor Crimisa.
Before the absence of Dionya, Crotone had not paid much attention to Crimea, on the one hand because of the agreement with Athens, and on the other hand, Turui did not pose a threat to Crotone. But after they lost to the Union of Dionya, the situation has changed dramatically. Diaonia has captured Niutum, Laos joined the Dionysian League, and Dionia has opened up the land-based commercial roads on the east and west coasts... …and many more. Dionya quickly became strong and prosperous, and Crotone was fidgeting. They began to feel the threat of the emerging power of the North. The strategic position of the buffered Crimea became extremely important, so in this half year. In the time, Crotone is stepping up to win the Crimea.
This is why, as soon as the Crimea heard an enemy attack, the first thing that came to mind was the reason for asking for help from Crotone. At the same time, when Crotone heard the attack of the enemy from the north by Krimisa, the first reaction was that
the Diaonians finally started attacking!
, so the Crotone conference was almost immediately The proposal to dispatch reinforcements was adopted. At the same time, it is considered that there may be the Diaonians, who are asking for help to say that "only two thousand enemies", they also cautiously sent 10,000 civic soldiers.
Just when Timothy thought that Crotone’s reinforcements were all in the north, because there were usually a lot of 5,000 people who were sending reinforcements between the city-states, he sent almost all the troops to defend the North City. Taking care of both sides of the East and West, but never wanting another fleet to enter the mouth of the Wembley River, breaking into the almost empty port, forcibly landing, 5,000 Crotone soldiers quickly occupied the South Gate, and easily defeated the Passas Two hundred people, after meeting the Crimeans in the Acropolis, continued to attack north.
Mercenaries are not only disparate in strength, but also in danger of being attacked by the North and the South. Failure is a foregone conclusion. After learning that "a large number of Crotone soldiers broke into the city from the south", the mercenary lost their fighting spirit, and Timothy and Kryano were also helpless at the moment.
When the Crotones were killed from the south, the mercenaries were only slightly resisted, and they fled.
Tima Song was in the city and saw the mercenaries fleeing under the city being driven and slaughtered by the Crotones like cattle and sheep~EbookFREE.me~ Just like what they did to the Crimea before, the goddess of vengeance The anger came to the mercenary's head so quickly that his heart was full of desolateness.
"Tima Song, go! We will go out to the north!" Kryano anxiously shouted.
Tima Song shook his head, and he looked up at the north, showing a smile that was relieved: Davers, the final contest was that I lost...
He did not hesitate to take out the saber and cut his neck.
Kryno had no time to sorrow. He took a few people out of the city with rope hooks and wanted to escape.
But the Crimea people hated them for burning, looting and looting in the city. The Crotones are good things to do in the end, but also to hunt down. The mercenaries were in the midst of encirclement, so except for a few people who escaped, most of them were either killed or arrested. Kryano, Toricos and others eventually surrendered because they were surrounded, but they were angry. The Cremisa dagger...
Through the trial of the descendants, Crotone and the Crimea people know that these fierce enemies are mercenaries, from Asia Minor and Ionia, who have fought with the Dionian Archon Daves. Persia, who lived in Dionia for more than two months, this attack on the Crimea was a premeditated separate action by these mercenaries.
Although it seems to have nothing to do with Dionia, Crotone's generals and members of the council believe that they have found the best excuse: unless Crotone is willing to maintain peace with Diaonia for a long time, he will be allowed to wear Dior. The rapid development of Niia is undoubtedly a huge threat to Crotone, only to launch a war on the occasion of Devon's wings, destroying this emerging alliance!
The resolution passed by the main warring faction council was very smooth. Even the moderate Lucias did not resolutely oppose it. Obviously he also realized the threat of Dionia.
