Antonios looked at the wounded soldiers behind him and said with concern: "Our medical battalion will arrive soon, please allow them to treat the wounded soldiers for your army then." ”

"That's great! I've heard that Dionys's medicine is the best in all of Great Greece! Fei Dun smiled even more happily.

The two sides greeted each other and introduced themselves, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

At this time, the commander of the navy, Sekerian, also arrived. If it had been before the war, when the Dionian navy was first established, Secrean had not commanded the navy to achieve any decent results, and even if he had been valued by Davers, the commanders of these regiments would not have really valued him. Now the victories in the two naval battles, and the attack on Hibernian, had been brought about by him, so that the army respected him and spoke to him on an equal footing.

In the meantime, talking about yesterday's thrilling battle, Fei Dun and Seklian yearned for it, and they couldn't wait to be there.

"General Sekrian." At this time, Antonios took out a papyrus scroll from his bosom and said seriously: "This is an order from Your Majesty to you. ”

Secrean immediately opened the scroll of paper and looked at it, with a look of surprise on his face: "Your Majesty wants me to obey your command and transport the First Legion to Sicily?!" ”

Antonios nodded solemnly.

Fei Dun, who was on the side, heard it and immediately asked, "You want to attack Sicily?!" ”

Antonios nodded again and said, "We don't know anything about Sicily, and we still need your help, General Fitun. That's why he took out this paper order on this occasion.

Fei Dun did not refuse, but said enthusiastically: "Lord Davers has made a correct decision!" We, the Ligims, because of our proximity to Sicily, are well aware of how powerful Dionysius was in Sicily. It is not enough to destroy his army that invaded Great Greece, only by weakening his power in Sicily can he eradicate his threat to Great Greece! I have a deep understanding of the Greek city-states of eastern Sicily and would love to share this information with you. ”

Antonios immediately thanked him, and he began to talk eagerly with Fitun and Secrean on the subject.

Shiros and Hieronymus were not idle, for it was getting late, and they regrouped their forces, escorted the captives, and were invited by Sipros to return to Trina to rest and attack the city of Hibernian the next morning.

By this time, they were all aware that Lockry had been battered by this, and that Hibernian, who was empty, was no longer able to resist the attack of Dionia.

Therefore, Shiros sent messengers to report the situation to Davers and to him for instructions on what to do with Hibernian.

………………………………

Dionysius in Cilitine was slightly relieved when he was rewarded by Damocles. In his previous research on Davers, he found that Davers did not like to kill everything, and often left some leeway for his opponents, and he used to despise this kind of woman's kindness, but now he hoped that Davers could still do the same.

"Davers is still young!" Upon this satisfactory result, Dionysius could not help but say sarcastically, as if this verbal pleasure could temporarily counteract the fear of this young man that had begun to grow in his heart: what a terrible military command ability that the new king of Dionya was able to turn the whole situation around in a terrible situation! As long as he is willing to make peace!

Dionysius had even begun to envisage what harsh conditions the Dionyas would put forward in the peace talks tomorrow. He had already considered it, and as long as the terms of the peace talks proposed by Dionya were not too difficult, he decided to accept them. As long as he can return to Sicily with these tens of thousands of soldiers, and also release all the captured soldiers, just like Dionia did when he treated Crotone, then there will be no great loss of Syracuse's power, his tyranny will not be obviously threatened, and Sicily's hegemony will still be maintained! As for the peace agreement with Dionia...... When Syracuse's strength is restored, it's just a piece of waste paper! Dionysius had no intention of keeping it at all, so he wouldn't be like Davers, who foolishly kept his promises in pursuit of a good name!

But...... Davers's military command ability is too strong, and it seems that he has to find a way to deal with him from other aspects...... Dionysius pondered, his long, narrow eyes shining with a daunting, gloomy light.

At this time, the attendant came in and reported: "Your Excellency, the ships and sailors are ready, just waiting for your order." ”

"Let them wait until it is dark and make sure that there are no enemy ships outside the harbor, and then set off quietly." Dionysius said with a solemn expression: "Tell them that the lives of the citizens of Syracuse are entrusted to them, and I hope that they will return home without fear of hardships and dangers under the protection of Apollo!" ”

Although Dionia's fleet began to blockade the port of Siriting after the Syracuse retreated, it was impossible for it to completely blockade it 24 hours a day, especially at night, when the sailors needed to go ashore to eat and rest, and the ships needed to return to the port of Krotone and be towed into the dock for repairs, drying, and maggots, otherwise the ship's solidity would be difficult to guarantee. Even if the detachments were sent to blockade in turn, they did not dare to disperse too much for fear of losses, after all, there were more than 30 Syracuse warships in the port of Siritin, and for these reasons, the Dionian fleet could not completely blockade the port at night.

Therefore, in the middle of the night, it is estimated that the defense outside the port of Cilitin is relatively lax, and the ships sent by Dionysius should be able to get out smoothly. It's just that sailing in the dark is much more dangerous, and storms, reefs, deviating from course, and maybe even encountering the fleet headed south by Dionya can kill these clippers.

But Dionysius could only believe that one of the few clippers he sent to be piloted by the most experienced helmsmen and sailors in the navy would eventually return to the great port of Syracuse, so that Felistos could understand the difficult situation of the Syracuse army in Greater Greece.

Although the treasury of Syracuse was now extremely depleted, most of the young and middle-aged citizens were already in Greater Greece, and it was impossible to build new warships in a short time, Dionysius still believed in the ability of Felistus, and believed that he could raise an army of no less than 20,000 men, a warship of no less than 100 three-tiered ships, and prepare a reserve of military rations for 50,000 men for two months...... Of course, this was another preparation made by Dionysius to deal with the failure of the peace talks, and as for how things were carried out, he could only hope for Apollo......

Watching the squire leave the hall, he couldn't sit still and decided to go to the blacksmith shop in the city.

He sent people to the peace talks, and another purpose was to stall for time: the most pressing problem of the Syracuse army now was not military rations (due to the drastic attrition of the battle, the Siliting had enough food to last them for more than a month), but weapons and equipment.

Because after the defeat of the battle, the soldiers in order to flee for their lives, along the way helmets, round shields, and even some even breastplates, spears, and sabers were thrown, and the enemy was of course throwing equipment in order to catch up with them, but the victors were Dionians, and when they cleaned up the battlefield, they could pick them up, while the Syracuse soldiers fled into the Cilitin empty-handed and embarrassed, fortunately, there were thousands of weapons and equipment in the city that they had collected when they sacked the Cilitin City. But that wasn't enough, and he had to ask the blacksmiths who were on the army to repair their weapons to use the city's blacksmith shops to hurry up and start crafting weapons and armor again. To this end, he also ordered his men to search the entire city for iron ore and scrap ironware.

He was now going to inspect and see how that important work was going.

Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something, stopped again, and turned in the other direction—the residence of Phoebedas. At the beginning of the war, the role of Phoebedas, a military adviser, was not very large, but as a Spartan, he could play his own unique role in peace negotiations.

…………………………………

Early the next morning, Phoebidas and Syracuse's messenger Damocles arrived at the camp that Dionya was building.

This time, Davos did not come out to receive him personally, but sent Clerk Hennipolis as the head of the negotiations.

And as soon as Henipolis met, he gave Damocles a dismissal: "Yesterday, His Majesty Davers, after consulting with the commanders of the legions, decided that in view of the bad past reputation of your general plenipotentiary, Dionysius, you need to do one thing to show the sincerity of your peace talks, so that our peace talks can begin. ”

When Damocles heard this, he immediately protested: "Dionians, you are an insult to General Dionysius! ”

"So what!" Henipolis raised his head and said with great arrogance: "Can Dionysius send another army to threaten us Dionia?!" Oh, I forgot, he already tried, and unfortunately he failed! Now you are asking for peace! ”

Damocles was speechless for a while, silent for a while, and said aggrievedly: "What do you want us to do?" ”

Henipolis sneered in his heart, and said with hatred: "The Numibians and Celts you hired are looting and killing outside the cities of Asprarustum and Crimesa of the Ionian League, even the old people and children are not spared, and we Dioonians hate to eat their blood!" Eat their meat! Since you want peace talks, please first cut off the heads of this group of 'beasts' who owe countless blood debts to the Great Greeks, and send them to us before we talk! I think after the battle the day before yesterday, they shouldn't have much left. ”()
