At this time, Ferosanus said that Syracuse was willing to sign a peace agreement with Dionia.

In this regard, Davers was prepared, and he said very simply: "In order to sign a peace agreement with Dionia, Syracuse must agree to the following demands.

First, the Syracuse had waged this war, which had caused great damage to Dionysa and Great Greece, and Syracuse had to compensate Dionica with two thousand talentes for the restoration of Dionya and the other city-states of Greater Greece;

secondly, the Syracuse captured by the Dionian army, each of whom was the aggressor of this war, had the blood of the Great Greeks on their hands, and Dionya could not easily release them, but had to pay a ransom, the price of which was determined by the status of the captive;

Thirdly, Syracuse must dissolve the Sicilian League;

Fourthly, Syracuse must recognize the fact that Toannis, Leotini, Catanay, Sikuli, Naxos, and Tauromegnan joined the Dionian League, and must not infringe on the interests of these city-states;

Fifth, Messina ......"

The outspoken Philosanus was enraged by these harsh terms of peace talks, but a word from Davers made him resist the urge to leave immediately: "If you are not willing to accept these conditions, Dionysia can talk to Dionysius." ”

This was what Herrolis and others were most worried about, and in order to prevent Dionysius, who had been knocked to the bottom, from resurrecting, Ferrosanus had to negotiate with the Dionian officials led by Ansitanus, who were under Davers.

By the next day, the news that "Dionysius had raided Syracuse and would have almost succeeded without the help of the Dionian army" reached Siritin, and when Ferosanus learned of it, he realized the risk to Herolis, and the negotiations were quickened.

…………………………………

At the same time, the news of the surrender of the Syracuse expeditionary force to Dionya had also been learned by the people of Lokrie, and the people in the city were immediately panicked.

At this time, Shilos led 10,000 soldiers to secretly march from west to east, quickly passed through the mountain pass, approached Lockley, and used a dozen ballistas to shatter the defense camp temporarily built by the Lockley people at the exit of the mountain road, and broke the blockage of some of the Lockley troops with a rapid attack, invading its territory.

This bad news caused panic in the city of Lockley even more.

At this time, rumors were still circulating in the city of Lockley, such as: "The main army led by Davers has gone south, and it will reach Lockley in a day!" ”…… and other rumors, so that the ordinary people, as well as the nobles and politicians in Lockley City, can no longer remain calm.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Demordocas and his cronies fled to the harbor with their families in an attempt to escape from Greater Greece by boat.

However, the political opponents who had been suppressed by Demordocus took the opportunity to incite the people, declaring that only by capturing Demordocus and his cronies and offering them to the Dionians could Dionia's anger against Lockry be alleviated......

As a result, the people of Lockley, who usually strictly abide by the laws of the city-state and have a docile personality, launched an attack on Demordocus and others.

Blood stained the waters of the port of Lochry, and more than 200 people, including the elderly, women, and children, all of Demordocas, some of the generals, members of the council, and their families, all fell in a pool of blood, and none of them survived.

The brutality that followed the anger of the docile Lockley populace made the opposition of Demordocas secretly frightened and put everyone at risk. In order not to follow in the footsteps of Demordocas and the others, the Council of Lockry finally decided to agree to Dionia's harsh conditions and sent an envoy out of the city to contact Shiros.

At this point, the war in Greater Greece was over, and all the rival Greek city-states had been conquered by Dionia, with the exception of Tarantum.

The Tarantum people also learned of the news of the surrender of the Syracuse army to Dionia, and at this time they were already cowering in the city, surrounded by the Mepu United Legion, and the reason why they could still understand the situation in the outside world was because the sea route had not been blocked, but it was the credit of Dionia.

Since Dionia's fleet resolutely prevented the Meppu's combined fleet from entering Taranto Bay, the Mesapi and Puchetti did not dare to provoke Dionya at this moment, so they had to order the fleet to retreat, thus preserving the sea route for Tarantum to communicate with the outside world and the passage of supplies in and out.

A large number of Tarantum citizens were imprisoned by Dionys, and they had to rely on the old, weak, sick and disabled to resist the siege of the Mep coalition. The reason why the Tarantum people are still struggling to support and unwilling to agree to Dionia's request to become the "free city" of the alliance in such a dangerous situation is not only because of their self-esteem as a once powerful state, but also because of Sparta. They expected Sparta to get the greedy Dionians to abandon their attempt to annex Tarantum and free their loved ones to save Tarantum from precariousness.

At the beginning of March, the ship of the Spartan emissary Chrysopus sailed straight across the edge of the Gulf of Taranto, bypassing the land headland of Crotone and entering the port of Siritin.

Davers has been in charge of Ciliting for more than ten days, and there are so many things to do that he is busy every day from morning to night.

The first is the negotiation with the rebels in Syracuse, although he is not specifically involved in the negotiations, but he has to keep an eye on the negotiation process and control the general direction.

In the end, a peace agreement was reached, except for the amount of war reparations, the price of the ransom for the prisoners, and the addition and deletion of some small clauses, the agreement basically achieved Davers's goal of weakening Syracuse's power, reducing its influence in Sicily, and protecting Dionia's interests on the east-central coast of Sicily.

Ferosanus wanted to be able to return the Syracuse militia immediately to defend the empty city of Syracuse. Davos also wanted to send off the recently surrendered captives as soon as possible, otherwise so many people would be stranded in Greater Greece, which would cost a lot of food and be heavily guarded.

But the two sides disagreed on two issues.

The first disagreement was a few thousand mercenaries among the captives surrendered by Cilitin.

Ferosanus believed that they were all loyal lackeys of Dionysius and the object of Jerolis's preparation, and did not want them to return as a precaution.

But Davers said: "Before the surrender of the Syracuse army, he made a promise that he would not break his promises. In addition, Davers did not want to leave behind these mercenaries who had been with Dionysius for a long time, who had become accustomed to burning and looting, and who were like robbers, even if Dionia, whose territory had expanded rapidly, was in urgent need of population filling, he was afraid that leaving these mercenaries would ruin the good atmosphere of Dionia. Now that fierce fighting is raging in Asia Minor, in the Peloponnese, and full of Greek people who have been exiled by war, Dionya will not lack Greek refugees who want to acquire land and live in peace.

Therefore, he threatened Philosanus: even if they did not agree, he would send these mercenaries back, at his own peril.

Fearing that the willfulness of the Dionians would add to the uncertainty of Herolis and them, who already controlled the city of Syracuse, Ferosanus could only agree to pay a ransom for these former mercenary citizens and mercenaries, but demanded that Dionya must follow his arrangements when transporting them away.

Davers only cared about fulfilling his promise, and it was not his concern whether the captives would return to Syracuse as slaves or be executed.

The second disagreement was that Ferosanus wanted Dionya to release the Syracuse captured in the previous battle at the same time.

Davers refused, saying bluntly: "The war has caused great damage to the Dionians' homeland and degraded their population...... Dionya needed the captives to rebuild their homes before considering release a year later. ”

In fact, this is just a reason, and the more important reason is that Davers did not say it. He was even more worried that releasing all the captives back to Syracuse would allow Syracuse's strength to recover quickly, which would make the newly appointed Syracuse higher-ups have other thoughts. With these hostages in hand, within a year Dionya could gradually consolidate his rule over Greater Greece and the east-central coast of Sicily with relative confidence.

After several unsuccessful arguments, Ferosanus had to add a clause to the agreement: the health and safety of the captives must be guaranteed during the year.

Of course, the argument did not include the thousands of Syracuse captives that Dionya sold to Carthage, most of whom were Syracuse citizen soldiers, not the porters of the port who served as sailors.

While negotiating with the emissaries of Syracuse, Davers also met with people from Lockley and Hibernian, preaching to them the benefits of joining the Ionian League and reassuring them. At the same time, he is also observing the visitors and gathering some information for the future senators of these two places to be elected by the Senate.

In addition, Davers had to consult with the Senate by letter on the administration of the new territories already occupied by the chief executives of Madema and Ciliting.

At the same time, he will consult with your chief general, his father-in-law, Artiliclus, by letter about a "joint expedition to Messina".

Not only did Davers have no free time to rest, but the clerk Hennipolis also helped Davers write letters and copy documents every day, and his writing was weak.

It was at this time that the ship of Clethops entered the port of Cilitin.

The busyness of the harbor surprised Chrysops, who saw that every wharf was filled with thinly clad and empty-handed Syracuses, escorted by Dionian soldiers, aboard passenger ships. The passenger ships, laden with men, carefully sailed out of the harbor and, escorted by the Ionian ships, headed south......

Seeing this, Chrysops realized: the Great Greek War is over! ()
