Vol 6 Chapter 236: Dilemma

"After the riot began, no one saw him. According to the analysis of the report of my spy, he is likely to be imprisoned by Herolis," Hipparinus said.
"Damn Herolith! I should have cut his head and hung his body on the city to warn those who are ill-intentioned! This time I will kill his family and find the temple priest to curse his soul. Forever indulge in the Styx!...
Dionysius yelled loudly to vent his anger and annoyance: Without Phillips, it was like cutting off one of his arms and making him a lot The plan could not be implemented because he quietly returned to Syracuse and did not intend to make public appearances, so as not to be criticized by the public. Many things can only be carried out by Phillips. Now that Philiptos is not there, who can he rely on? !
"Herolis is outside, holding the army of tens of thousands of people in his hands. You have the ability to defeat him and kill him! What is the use of light here!" Hipparinus said coldly. Among these people, only he dares to face Dionysius in an upset, and Phillips sometimes criticizes, but he will never be as ugly as he is, just because he is not only Dionysius. Sri Lanka’s father-in-law, or a staunch supporter of Dionysius, was the most difficult time for Dionysius to do his best, to support Dionysius’s campaign, and to buy him a large number of citizens. Only then made him elected as the general of Syracuse, led the citizens against the Carthaginian army, and embarked on the path of the dictator.
Dionysius stared at Hipparinus with a sharp ups and downs in his chest, as if he would vent his anger at any time, and Calidmus was scared back a few steps. But Dionysius finally resisted. He snorted and turned his eyes to Megui Collis. He asked, "How about the defense of Ortigia?"
"Adults, the rebels once attacked the walls of the isthmus, but the casualties were heavy and they did not attack the city. They did not attack this place. Instead, they built a new wall at the exit of the isthmus and wanted to block us. Outside the city."

Have you tried to take the soldiers to attack the isthmus?

Megui Collis didn't talk, turning his eyes to Hipparinus.
"I let the mercenary of Mejikolis not attack!" Hipparinus said without hesitation: "The situation was dangerous and the situation was very chaotic. The first thing I want to guarantee is the island of Ortigia. Safety!"
This time Dionysius didn't get angry. He was silent for a while and said loudly: "Well... Heparinus, you are doing right! Megi Collis, thank you very much and the mercenaries for their efforts. On the island of Ortigia, let us have a place to live!"
"Adults, keeping Otija Island is our mercenary duty!"
"Is Masais now alive or dead?" Dionysius asked another drop of helper.
"According to the news of the spies' return, he led the squadron to escape to the villages and towns established by the former mercenary citizens outside the city, but when Herollis did not give him a chance to rest, he immediately sent tens of thousands of troops to the land. The former mercenaries were extremely aggressive in their homes, and Marcias was no match, leading his men to the western mountains." Hipparinus said with no expression.
"If you don't die, you can do it..." Dionysius couldn't think about the connection with Masias for a while, and his mind turned to another question: "What about our fleet?"
"The sailors in the port were involved in the rebellion. They imprisoned Palonisus and took the warship as their own. They also united with the insurgents of Herolis and defeated the thousand who guarded the gate. Mercenaries, but also responsible for mercenaries outside the city...but these sailors and the rebels in the city have had some quarrels."
"What quarrel?!" Dionysius felt a move.
"Listing to the return of the spy, it is said that the sailors in the port hope to obtain the entire land of the former mercenary citizens, and hope to gain more political rights, and they are opposed by Herolis..."
Dionysius wrote down this matter and asked another question he was most concerned about: "Where is the army of Dionia now?"
"They used to go to Tonys, assisted the rebels, took control of the city, and later seemed to go north again. Now Syracuse and the various channels in the north are blocked, and it is impossible to know more about the situation there." Hipparinu Said.
The Dionyns are quite cautious! When Dionysius thought of it, there was some urgency in his heart. After all, tens of thousands of Syracuses were thrown in the West Chamber by him, blocking the main force of Dionia for him if he could not be in Dionia. The people regained the city of Syracuse before the settlement of the West Riding, and once Dionia’s main cross-sea expedition, he was in danger!
"What are the city-states on the South Coast? Have you asked for help from them?!" Dionysius hurriedly asked, this is where he is most likely to get reinforcements, and his hopes.
"When we had a big riot in the city-states of Syracuse, Kataney, Leotini, and Tonys, there were also a lot of turmoil in the city-states on the south coast. The adults of Khalids had risked their lives. Going to Gera, Agrigento... for help, they were all rejected," Hipparinus said.
"Adults, these city-states have said, 'In order to help the adults attack the big Greece, many soldiers have been sent. In order to defeat the Diaonians who landed in Sicily, they have sent many young and middle-aged citizens, but most of them have not seen Come back, now the people in the city state are rioting and the political situation is unstable. They can't send reinforcements any more.'" Calledmus said helplessly.
"Withkamanina also refused to send troops?!"
In the face of Dionysius's cannibalistic eyes, Calidmus trembled and nodded: "Yes...Yes..."
"Damn!" Dionysius yelled: Other city-states can understand that the lord of Kamanlina is his brother Leptin, who personally supported him, and actually also to Syracuse. It’s indifferent to look at it, does this idiot think that I am down, he will be fine? !
Dionysius angered his short-sightedness, but there was a sense of powerlessness in his heart: the whole Syracuse rebellion, he lost many civic soldiers, and lost the support of the sailors, even the allies ignored him. The request, can only rely on these two thousand mercenaries to regain the power throne?
Dionysius was a bit stunned. He felt like a big fish stranded on the beach. He was very energetic, but he couldn’t keep up, and he was in danger of dying at any time.
At this time, the Kalids Ghost asked the god: "Adult, I don't know how the military of the expedition to Greece is going?"
Dionysius widened his eyes and looked straight at him.
It is clear to everyone that Dionysius is a deserter, so no reason has been mentioned in this matter, but Kelly Dess mentions the most taboo thing of Dionysius.
"I... I... I mean, if the army in the Great Greece can return, it will be able to recapture...recapture..." Under the cold eyes of Dionysius, Kalids’s teeth fight straight .
"What you said makes sense." Dionysius wood is expressionless and his tone is gentle: "In this case, I will send you to the West Chamber to negotiate with the new king of Dionia. I am authorized to give you any of his claims. The requirements can be promised, as long as the soldiers can be brought back safely as soon as possible, you better start now!"
"Ah! I?! Now?!--" Khalides is horrified, no matter how many times, to avoid the patrol of the Syracuse rebel ship, to break through the blockade of the Denia fleet, to reach the West Chamber... ...this is risking your life!
But Dionysius had not allowed him to say that Meguikolis and the guards were sandwiched between him and sent to Captain Laktinus.
Although Dionysius did not think that the savvy King of Dionia would make such a mistake, but in his heart, he still has such a trace of luck, after all, there are thousands of former mercenary elite soldiers in Xiliting. As long as he can return, he can easily recapture Syracuse!
"I took a two-day boat, some tired, go to rest for a while, keep secret about my return -" Dionysius rubbed his head with one hand, and some tiredly warned the people around him: "Not only It is to keep the rebels in the city secret, and the island of Ortigia must be kept secret, because the rebels have captured most of the official residences of the city hall, and their families on the island are worried!"
"Have a good rest, Tomaqi and the children need you to comfort, and they are scared these days!" Hipparinus sighed.
Dionysius turned back and looked at Filbidas, who had been silent for a while: "You are with me~EbookFREE.me~ I still have something to discuss with you."
"Good!" Fibidas answered very simply.
On the way to the palace, Dionysian said: "The situation in Syracuse and even the situation in Sicily is now understood. To be honest, this time the situation is more dangerous than the last time. Those rebels are likely to collude with the Dionyns, or they will not have riots on the entire east coast of Sicily on the same day, and happen at the most critical moment, what do you think?"
"It's very possible." Fibidas looked indifferently.
Note:
In history, Dionysius finally chose the son of Dionysius, the son of Mrs. Doris, who was born by Mrs. Lockley, as the heir to Syracuse, not to the daughter of Hipparinus. The two sons born to Aristo Markey are probably because they are indeed mediocre and misbehaving; on the other hand, they are also monopolized by the Greeks of Hipparinus. Worried, it may also be due to a kind of revenge against Hipparinus for years of insulting him. When he established his heirs, Hipparinus has passed away.
