The original Syracuse soldiers were informed by the team officials in the morning: Dionysius was infected with a fever and was in bed at the house, and was temporarily unable to patrol.
However, the words of the Diaonians have a nose and eyes. "Dionysius flees alone" has caused them to be confused. "Syracuse City was attacked" but they even shocked them. Not only the soldiers were terrified, but they couldn’t sit still with the officials. Therefore, many Syracuse civic soldiers and free people gathered in the West Square, discussing these rumors nervously...
In the end, they decided to see Dionysius to prove the true and false of the rumors. Thousands of people have squandered the temporary house of Dionysius.
At this time, in the mansion, Faxi Pesas, Leptignes, Andros Tini, and several generals were just as eager to turn around like the ants on the hot pot.
When Faxi Pesas heard these rumors, he was shocked: the news that Dionysius left was only known to the people who sat, how would the Diaonians know? ! Is there someone inside Dionya? ! Secondly, Dionysius said that he was driven back to Syracuse because the Dionyns landed in Mayalo. But the Diaonians now say that they have occupied many Sicilian city-states and are attacking the city of Syracuse. Although the enemy's words can't be trusted, but now I want to come, even if the Dionyns landed in Sicily, Masias can handle it completely, and Dionysius is so rushed, is it really possible... After all, the Diaonians are accurate It tells the story of Dionysius’s departure.
Faxi Pesas thought a thousand turns, and the rest of the people also had their own thoughts. The atmosphere in the room was condensed, but the outside was a shocking day.
"Everyone, the soldiers are incited by the Dionyrian rumors, they must see the face of Dionysius, what can we do to calm the chaos?!" Faxi Pesas asked anxiously, first to break Quiet.
"Of course, they can't let them in. If they let them know that Dionysius is indeed gone, it will definitely cause chaos!" said one general.
"But how can we stop them from coming in?!" Faxi Pesas said with concern: "There are thousands of soldiers outside. Once they lose patience, the guards cannot stop them!"
"It is better to send people out and swear to them in the name of God." The adults of Dionysius did not leave at all, but they were seriously ill. Their entry would affect the treatment of adults. After the adults recovered, they would naturally meet them. ''The probe probe Andros Tini suggested.
"This is a good idea!" Faxi Pesas brightened his eyes and then looked around and asked: "Who wants to convince the soldiers?"
Everyone didn't talk, and their eyes didn't look up, they looked down, they didn't touch the eyes of Huaxi Pesas.
"Andrews Tenny?" asked Faxi Pesas, who was in a hurry to go to the hospital.
"I am just a small person responsible for collecting information from Dionysius. If you say it, how can the soldiers believe?" Andros Tini shrugged and euphemistically refused.
As soon as Faxi Pesas thought about it, he turned his eyes to the younger brother of Dionysius beside him: "Lepttines?"
The straight Leptinis hurriedly shook his head and said directly: "I will never do this false oath in the name of the gods!"
Faxi Pesas immediately suffered, thinking: As a younger brother of Dionysius, you are not willing to do it, is it that others will be willing to do it! This is a god!
When Faxi Pesas turned his attention to other generals, the generals said that they were impatient: "General Faxi Pesas, when Dionysius was away, gave you the power to rule this army. You don't want to convince the soldiers, don't you let us go?!"
"Yeah! Yeah! Now you have the most power in the city of West Riding, and the prestige among the soldiers is the highest, except that you have no better candidates!"
Several generals said with a slap in the face, and Faxi Pesas’s heart screamed, and in the words of his peers he felt a thick shackle.
At this time, Androstini and Leptinies also agreed. They agreed so quickly because they knew very well: this is a dangerous errand! Use lies to deceive tens of thousands of Syracuse citizens and free people. Once one day, the executors will cause anger in the Syracuse people. He will not only be excluded in the city of Syracuse, but even It may be punished by the people who demand the power of the people with the blasphemy...
Of course, Faxi Pesas is also very aware of the interests of these people. They look at the people who are quickly united and isolate themselves, giving him a feeling of sadness... once a common Syracuse Citizen's ability to become a trusted general of Dionysius is based on his vision, wrists, and ability to adapt to the situation. It is not only flattering to Dionysius, he can always make it at a critical time. Conducive to their choice.
Under the eyes of everyone, Faxi Pesas was silent for a while. He repeatedly considered it in his heart and finally made up his mind. His face remained calm and stood up and said, "Okay, I went out to convince the soldiers. We."
Everyone smiled and looked at Faxi Pesas and walked out of the house.
Is it not so good?
Lep Tinies said with some intolerance.
Everyone else ignored him.
Suddenly, there was a louder buzz outside the house, so that they could all be heard clearly.
"We want to go home!! We have to go back to Syracuse!!!..."
What happened outside? ! Andros Tini felt uneasy.
At this time, the guards came in and panicked and said: "You adults, Faxi Pesas... General Faxi Pesas announced to the soldiers, 'Deaniusius has left the West Chamber, he will lead The Sicilian reinforcements are coming back soon!'"
"what?!"
"Damn Fascissas! How can he tell the truth!"
..........................................
"Russell Creton, bypassing this sea otter, Crotone is coming soon!" the captain shouted.
Oklahoma nodded and said that he understood. As the veteran of the Carthage Senate, Oklahoma was the confidant of Hanno, this time with the order of Hanno to come to consult with Dionia.
Dionya, the Greek city-state alliance that was not in the eyes of the Carthage people, was unexpectedly out of the Carthaginian accident in this South Asian war. It not only defeated at sea or on land. Dionysius of the First World also sent troops to Sicily... The news continued to pass to Carthage, and the people were in a state of utter dismay, especially when they saw the merchant ship of Carthage transported hundreds of tons of grain and returned thousands of The name of the Syracuse prisoners is even more encouraging.
Compared with the good influence of the Carthage people on the Union of Dionynia, the veterans are talking about the sudden changes in the situation of the Great Greece and Sicily. Hannover sent Critton to make Dionia a hope: to explore the tone of the city-state alliance that had just had a friendly agreement, to see if a covenant could be reached to guarantee the interests of Carthage in Sicily, Convenient Hanno has reason to propose in the Senate "to withdraw the post of Governor of Sicily".
Oklahoma learned from the messengers of Carthage who had previously accompanied the grain ship to Turai, that the army of Dionia was besieging the Silit, and that the new king who could truly be the master was also in the army, so Oklahoma also canceled his intention to travel to Turui, preparing to go directly to the Dionya camp in the West. However, the port of Cirtin is in the hands of the Syracuse. If the beach is forcibly landed on the nearby beach, so that the valuable Bolton is soaked by the sea, Oklahic believes that this is really detrimental to the image of a great city-state messenger, so he decided Let the ship stop at the port of Crotone, and take a look at what is happening now in the famous Greek city-state of Crotone after suffering the blood wash of the Syracuse.
By boat bypassing the sea otter, Oklahoma saw seven or eight three-story paddles in front of the sea lined up in a double column, sometimes charging, sometimes reversing, sometimes hovering, and the columns cooperate with each other, often by parallel It became staggered... Obviously, this is the training of the Dionysian fleet.
Oklahoma looked at it for a while and did not find the rumored "crow" warship that defeated the Syracuse fleet.
When the boat was about to turn into the port, a Clipper approached and stopped them.
O'Reilly noticed that the other side of the sail also painted the "Diagnostics of the twinkling fork" of the Dionysian Union logo, and he was shocked: Crotone was dependent on this degree to Dionia. Www.EbookFREE.me~ Is the port patrol all responsible for the Diaonian fleet? !
After the patrol boat asked about the intention of the Russian Clifton, he voluntarily navigated in front.
When he entered the port, he knew why the Devonian fleet was patrolling the waters of Crotone. I saw that most of the docks on the wharf were burned down. The beach was full of wreckage of the ships. There were still a lot of blackened ship boards floating on the sea. The land was full of broken walls and darkness...
Oklahoma witnessed all this and couldn’t help but recall the tragedy caused by the Syracuse’s attack on Motiya. He couldn’t help but cursing:
Damn Dionysius! Such tyranny, Will sin against him!"
There are not many boats in the port, mostly from the merchant ships of Dionia, carrying some of the necessities that Crotones urgently need: olive oil, tar, pottery, furniture, ironware...
The boat in Oklahoma was docked at a relatively good dock, and the Carthage Herald was on the shore, following the captain of the patrol boat.
Although the houses were all ruined, there was almost no rubble on the streets. From time to time, we can see old people and women cleaning up the in the city, and at the same time picking up some useful items in the ruins of the house...
