The pen that was writing quickly paused, and Henypolis gasped: it was already a great honour to erect a statue in front of the administrative building, and it had been erected only by Mersis since the founding of Dionia, and after his death; The reason why Dionya was able to rise rapidly in a few decades mainly relied on a strong military, and the star-stellar generals were the pillars that supported this powerful force, but there had never been a legion or fleet named after a person, and if the First Fleet could finally be named, Sekrian would undoubtedly be the first person in the Dionian army, even if he was allowed to die immediately, perhaps he would be happy to accept it......

While Henipolis was distracted, Davers's words continued: "Appointed Midorades as the temporary commander of the First Fleet, Stefacas as the commander of the Second Fleet during the war, and the commander of the First Fleet of the First Fleet, Lamarcas, for his outstanding achievements, and this time assisted Sekerian to stubbornly resist the attack of the Persian fleet, and specially appointed him as the commander of the Third Fleet during the war, and Midorades took full command of the three fleets, continued to attack the Persian fleet, completely controlled the sea control in the eastern Mediterranean, and ensured the transportation safety of all fleets, Assist the army in its attack on Persia! ”

Henipolis kept writing by hand, but he was thinking in his heart: saying that he was taking over temporarily, it was just to make Sekerian and the crew of the First Fleet feel better, I am afraid that His Majesty did not think that Sekerian could be cured at all, but fortunately, the promotion of Ramacas of the First Fleet should make the crew of the First Fleet feel better.

"Write to Alexis and ask him to inform the troops to prepare for the attack! Write to the prefect of Naucratis and ask him to arrange a convoy of transports ready to set off for the east! ”

Davers stared at the ostriches running through the trees in front of him, and after a moment he turned to look down at Henipolis and said aloud, "Heni, are you ready, we are going to Persia!" ”

Henypolis immediately said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time, and the most glorious chapter of the biography I have written is there!" ”

His left hand pointed hard to the east.

In March, the news of the defeat of the Persian army in Asia Minor by the Greek coalition at Misia caused a great shock to the people of western Asia Minor, and many towns that had been in a wait-and-see state rioted one after another, driving out the local Persian garrison and openly declaring their support for Dionia.

Leoticides, while accepting their offering, demanded that they be supplied with food and grass. At the same time, after giving his troops a short rest, he soon advanced to Frisia, the stronghold of the Persian army.

The Persian army in Asia Minor was a makeshift patchwork army, and after suffering a crushing defeat, some demoralized regional armies refused to continue fighting, and some even led the remnants back to their areas without asking Fanabazos for instructions.

Faced with the rapid approach of the Greek coalition, Fanabazos, who had been drastically reduced, did not try to defend himself, but arrested Iason as a traitor after some conspiracy by his colleagues.

In a report to the king of Persia, Phanabazos argued that the sudden rebellion of the Greek mercenaries, who had been entrusted with the task of being the only one, was the main reason for the defeat of the battle.

The Persian commanders and generals used Iason as a scapegoat and wanted to escape the guilt of defeat, but it made the defeated Greek mercenaries panic, and several mercenary officers launched a rebellion under the banner of "avenging General Iason", although it confirmed the accusation that the Greek mercenaries were unreliable, but the situation in Phrygia was completely out of control, resulting in Fanabazos having to lead the remnants of the army to continue to retreat in a hurry.

The Greek coalition successfully occupied Gerdium, the center of Phrygia, and Leoticides did not continue to pursue eastward and inland, but after raising a lot of supplies in the local area, he left a force to garrison, and the main force turned south, and the front was directed towards Lydia, without encountering any effective resistance along the way, and by the end of May, the Greek coalition army quickly entered the area around the Lydian town of Sades.

Leoticid's rapid march thwarted the Persian garrison's attempts to divert the region's wealth, and the strong military strength of the Greek coalition frightened the defenders of Saddes, who surrendered the city.

After the capture of Sadders, the Greek coalition did not continue the attack, but repaired in the area, while Leoticides waited for the arrival of the men he had asked for from King Davers.

At the beginning of June, Leoticides led the generals of the coalition forces and some officials of the former Lydia out of the city to meet the Emissary of Theoria.

The Dionian emissaries were not one, but a group of people. At the head was an old man, although he was gray-haired and old-looking, but his expression was resolute, and his gestures were quite majestic.

"Lord Prosous, I'm sorry I'm late!" Knowing Leoticides' withdrawn character, the old man, after seeing him, took the initiative to say: "More than two months ago, I received an order from Your Majesty to come to Asia Minor to take over the regions you have conquered. However, as we had to wait for a group of officials selected by the palace administration to set out together, and we were about to land in Ilion, but we heard that you had captured Gerdium and were marching south, so we diverted to Eritrea (a seaside Greek city-state east of Caios, which had fallen to Dionya after the Greek coalition had defeated the Persian army), and hurried along the way, and although we encountered a little trouble, we finally met you in a relatively timely manner......"

When Leoticides heard this, he just said dryly: "It's hard work, Asia Minor is indeed a vast territory, and marching and fighting here is far more time-consuming than in Italy or Greece—"

Staff Officer Mukru hurriedly said, "Lord Kaps, we have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time!" With you in the rear, the Greek coalition forces will have no worries at all, and they can rest assured that they can boldly continue to advance eastward! ”

Cappus was originally a person who didn't like to talk much, but after serving as the district administrator for many years, there have been a lot of changes, coupled with his advanced age and more peaceful mentality, he is comfortable in the face of such an occasion, he said humbly: "I am a newcomer, I am completely unfamiliar with everything here, I need a period of familiarity, and I also need your help and support. But I can assure you that I and the officials behind me have come thousands of miles to enjoy it, but to follow your Majesty's instructions, and to do everything in our power to ensure the stability of the conquered territories, and to secure your logistical supplies, so that you can attack Persia with all your might! Because it is our common wish to defeat Persia, are you right? ”

The last question was addressed by Capuz to the administrators who had followed him.

"Lord Capuz is right, defeating Persia is the common wish of our Dionyas and our allies!" Officials responded in unison.

Leoticides showed a rare smile and said, "Lord Capus, please let me introduce you—this is the military governor of the Piosia League, Ipamironda. ”

"But General Ipamironda, who commanded the Theban coalition to defeat Sparta at the Battle of Leuctra?! Oops, it's an honor to meet you! ”

"I heard that Lord Capus was the hero of the expedition to Persia back then, and the reason why we dare to attack Persia today is also inspired by your heroic deeds!"

"Shame! Ashamed! I was just a soldier who followed His Majesty, and if it weren't for His Majesty's superb command, I am afraid that I would have become a white skeleton buried in this foreign land. ”

“…… This is the Athenian general Iphiclateus. ”

"Is it the Athenian general Iphiclates who pioneered light infantry tactics in Greece and defeated the Spartan army many times in the Corinthian War?! It's an honor to meet you! ”

"Lord Capus, you're complimenting! I have heard that you have been fighting the Persians with light infantry tactics as early as your conquest of Persia, and I have learned from the tactics of your Dionian army. ”

"Back then, it was His Majesty who forced us to start practicing light infantry tactics, and we were not happy at first, but later we found that the effect was very good! You were able to abandon the inherent Greek military traditions, take the initiative to learn, and be able to create light infantry tactics that were unique to Athens according to the actual situation in Greece, which is amazing! ”

“…… This is—"

"This one needs no introduction, I know, the chief general of the Arcadia Alliance, Lycomedes! Four years ago, when I returned to the Senate to report on my work, he happened to be visiting Turiyi, and we attended His Majesty's banquet together. ”

"Lord Cappus, I happened to be listening to your debriefing in the Senate, and I was very surprised! There were a large number of fierce and savage Gauls living in northern Italy, and Lord Capus served as the administrator there for many years, which not only kept those regions stable, but also allowed those backward Gauls to take the initiative to learn Greek civilization and actively integrate into Dionia, which shows the ability of Lord Capus! ”

"Mistress Lycoedes has praised me so much, and there are many district governors like me in Dioonia who are able to integrate the local natives into Dionia, such as Lord Shiros in Thessaly, and Lord Asistes in Egypt, who are very talented in this regard. May Hades bless the people here and work well with us to overthrow the tyranny of Persia and create a better future together! ”

……

After the introductions were made, Mukru led the group back to the city, with Leoticides and Capus at the front.
