Vol 8 Chapter 329: Carthage wants to negotiate?

Daves said in a righteous way: "Diagna and the Phoenician region in the east have never had any hatred. They have sent the fleet, and they have come to attack the fleet of Dionia from a long distance. It is a sin to suffer destruction! If they are I am very welcome to send troops. Recently we have just got a lot of mines and we are missing slaves."
El Akra’s glimpse, but he had to continue on this topic, because the East Phoenicia United Fleet was wiped out in the sphere of influence of Carthage, and if the Carthaginians did not remedy, they would have no Yan went to see the Phoenician compatriots in the Eastern Mediterranean who provided great assistance to Carthage.
"We want to redeem the Phoenician crew from the Eastern Mediterranean who are captured by you. What do you need to pay?" El Accra's tone softened.
Davers looked at him and said with a slight sarcasm: "When your army occupied Agrigento, Echium, and Gera, you originally had the opportunity to redeem it by exchanging prisoners. But the army led by Margo killed all the people in the city!"
El Akra was silent and said softly: "If Carthage is going to stop with your Dionya?"
Davers suddenly heard this, and he was a little surprised. He blinked his eyes and said, "I shouldn’t have got it wrong? Carpathi, the overlord of the Western Mediterranean, actually stopped this game for these captives. A huge war?!"
El Akra, through the captives of the captives, finally said this sentence, can't take the ridicule of Davers, and continued to say: "The king is right, this is indeed a huge consumption for both sides. The war! I mean if - if you and I have a truce, will these captives be released?"
This time, Davers did not make another joke, but said with a serious look: "Since the armistice has been reached, of course, the prisoners will be released. However, you have tore up the covenant! You have provoked this war! Now you want to To end the war! You want to go to war, we can't control it, but you want to end it, it's not that easy!"
"So... what conditions do you need to accept the truce?" El Accra asked in a positive color.
Daves did not answer directly. He said faintly: "The armistice negotiations are a very important thing for both you and us. Of course, you and us must come together to negotiate and decide. Just like trade and business, you need a The long process of bargaining..."
"But as the most distinguished person in the Kingdom of Deonia, you must have some of your own requirements for the truce?" El Accra continued to ask if he did not give up.
"To tell the truth, from the outbreak of the war to the present, I have been running around, I really didn't think about the truce. After you mentioned this, I have a doubt now." Davers said, intentionally paused. A bit.
"What doubt?" El Accra asked subconsciously.
"If... If your Carthage Senate wants to talk to us about the armistice, will your military commander Marge agree?"
El Accra hesitated a little and then immediately replied: "March will certainly agree, because Carthage is different from Diaonia, we don't have a king, but there is a Senate. The important affairs of the city are from the Senate. To decide."
Davers immediately smiled and raised his glass. He said: "The war is really a headache. It is a good thing to be peaceful to you and the people of both sides!... Welcome to today's arrival, come and do this!

El Accra thought that he understood the words of Davers, and quickly toasted with a drink, and then no longer asked any questions.

After sending El Accra, Henipolis couldn’t wait to ask: "Your Majesty, are you really ready to talk to Carthage?"
Davers smiled: "I want to talk to Carthage, but they may not be able to agree to my conditions."
"What conditions?" Henipolis asked directly without any fear.
This time, Daves did not avoid answering: "At least Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia must belong to the kingdom, and then hand over part or all of their southern Iberia..."
Henipolis listened and listened, unconsciously widening his eyes. For a long while, he barely said: "I think the Carthaginians may not be able to agree to your conditions..."
Davers looked at him and said leisurely: "I didn't say these conditions to the messenger, I was afraid of causing the Carthage people to be alert. In fact, I don't want to have an armistice with Carthage at this time. Because it is difficult to form a favorable situation of closing the dog, how can you waste this great opportunity, then reopen the door and let the dog escape again... unless the dog is completely killed, maybe When I propose these conditions."
Henipolis suddenly realized, but he also worried a little worried: "Your Majesty, if the Phoenician region of the Eastern Mediterranean sends reinforcements, even Persia really sent reinforcements..."
Daves said without hesitation: "Persia transported the reinforcements from thousands of miles away and fought with us. It was also separated from his enemies in Egypt and the Greek city-states that could become his enemies at any time. This is a very big risk! The defeat of the Athenian army in Siracusa was a lesson. The Alta Xerxes might not have such great strength, and according to the information obtained, the Persians are still preparing to attack Egypt again, and the Dukes are in the Persian hinterland. There was a riot... The current Persian has neither the ability nor the ability to send troops to thousands of miles to help a foreign city state that has no close relationship with them.
As for the Phoenicians in the east, as far as I know, their strength is much worse than that of Carthage. The only thing worth mentioning is the navy, and we are all wiped out. What are we worried about?

After listening to these words, Henipolis came down.
"Right, the Sicilian fleet caught a lot of Phoenician crews in the Eastern Mediterranean yesterday. You asked Martius to bring a few Greek-speaking prisoners. I have to ask them about Persia."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Henipolis walked out and said to himself: "In fact, the Eighth Army also captured many Numidians in the previous Minoa War, but the Carthages I came to discuss the redemption, but I never mentioned them. It seems that I completely forgot them."
An aura flashed through Dave's mind, and he immediately said, "Heni, where are the captives of Numidia?"
"Your Majesty, they work hard in Katane."
Daves remembered this time, when Prosuous had reported to him, but he had just landed at the time, and there were so many things, he didn't care too much.
"Send someone back to Katanay to inform Sipros and let him send these Namibia captives to Minoa!"
In the heart of Henipolis, he asked: "Your Majesty, you are going to-"
Daphus's mouth is slightly cocked: "Since the Carthaginians do not regard the Numidians, let us care for these poor Numidians."
.............................................
El Accra went out of Minoa and did not go directly to Carthage, but took a boat to Mazara, then to the Carthage camp outside the city of Serenus, and met the Carthage military commander. brother.
"You didn't come to see me specifically?" When he met, Ma Ge asked directly, El Accra had just left the front door as the messenger of Carthage, and the back foot Preta Kuba sent the Clippers to Sicily and informed. he.
"Does Margot know that Hadrumentum City was raided by the Dionysian Navy and burned?" El Akra asked.
"Yes, I just heard about it." Ma Ge said calmly: "Diaonia is a strong country, fighting with them, it is difficult to avoid such a situation, the Senate should not blame Morbar I think he is much better than Annobas. It was not long before he took office to solve the problem of food transportation for this army. He also won a naval battle. This old man is really not easy!"
"But he made a suggestion to the Senate that he wants to talk to Dionia. What do you think of Ma Ge," El Akra looked directly at him and asked this important question.
Ma Ge double-browed Yang, Shen Sheng said: "Malbar has just joined the war~EbookFREE.me~ I still know too little about the whole situation. He only knows that we are not as good as Dionia in the navy, but in On the Army side, we are stronger than the Dionyns. I firmly believe that Carthage will eventually win this war!"
"Since we are stronger than the Dionyns in land warfare, why did Margots not attack the Dionyans? The news we heard in Carthage is that you are leading the army to continue to withdraw! Isn't this because of fear of Dionya's offense?" El Akra asked unceremoniously.
"Afraid of the Dionys?" Marge snorted and then said helplessly: "Hasdruba defeated the Daedian army of the same number in the battle of Gera. In the field we are not afraid of the Dionysian army! But the Dionysian Navy controls the coast of Sicily. Our food supply is difficult. In order to prevent the soldiers from collapsing because of hungry, I have to retreat to the west. I hope that I can defeat the main force of Dionia through a battle, but the King of Dionia apparently knows that it is not as good as us in the land war, so he refuses to fight and leads his army to arm the Minoa Mountain, of course. Will not lead the troops to attack the enemy defending in the mountains, which will cause the soldiers to suffer heavy casualties..."
"Don't you have been confronting the Dionyns like this?!" El Akra couldn't help but ask.
