Originally, Agosilaus planned to strengthen the defenses of the north and south sides, to completely keep the Dionian army out of the country, because of the lack of troops and had to adopt a passive military defense. Agosilaus knew very well that it could not last, and Sparta, which could only be beaten passively, would inevitably be spurned by the allies and lose its hegemony, so after the Persian reinforcements landed in Corinth, he saw a few opportunities to defeat the Dionian army, so he risked leading the main force north, and he was originally prepared to withdraw to defend once the battle failed, but it backfired......

When the Dionian army had built a camp in Arcadia, the soldiers of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade had infiltrated the northern part of Sparta's territory and had a preliminary understanding of Sparta's defenses in the north, so the two companies of the Seventh Army cautiously explored and advanced along the river valley.

As a result, when I arrived at the Spartan defense camp, I found that it was an empty camp! The company commander, puzzled and surprised, immediately took the camp, while the more curious division continued to probe south, just in time to bump into a fleet of infantry sent by Secreon to the north to give good news to the main force of Dionia.

Now Klotocatax saw this battle report, and his mood was a little complicated, he finally won a general battle, and soon was able to take the great glory of conquering Sparta into his arms, but he did not expect that this glory had been taken away by the First Fleet, although the First Fleet was nominally under his command.

As the chief of staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Printols did not care much about the issue of the army and navy and the attribution of military merits, and was more accustomed to considering the problem from the strategic level, he saw Klotockatus's thoughts, and comforted softly: "Judging from the battle report, the landing operation of the 1st Fleet was carefully and skillfully arranged, but even so they paid a lot of price, and it can be seen that the remaining Spartan army still has a lot of combat effectiveness.

According to the previous reconnaissance, the Spartans also had a tight defense in the north of the territory, and the mountains in the north were not conducive to the offensive development of our army, which was more convenient for the Spartans to defend. The situation in Greece is complicated today, and the further time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us.

Fortunately, Sekerian strictly carried out your orders and launched the landing operation in time...... This gave us enough time to take the challenges of the other Greek city-states in stride. ”

After hearing this, Klotockataks was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, and said calmly: "Lord Printors, I confess that I am a little jealous of the 1st Fleet's conquest of Sparta. But I don't think the success of the 1st Fleet has much to do with my orders, it is mainly due to the ability of Lord Sekrian, no wonder my father praised him as one of the best military commanders in the kingdom!

But you're right, the 1st Fleet was able to conquer Sparta so quickly, which is a good thing for our army and for the kingdom, so we should happily accept Seclian's invitation and rush to Sparta to deal with the aftermath of the war as soon as possible and meet the new challenge. ”

Printors was amazed at how quickly the young prince could change his mindset,

During this period of time with Klotocatax, this prince with a steady personality, unpretentious, tireless, able to listen to opinions with an open mind, and good at getting along with people, made a deep impression on Pryntors, but he was still a little surprised that the young prince was able to change his mentality so quickly, and was more optimistic about his future, and said to him: "I advise Your Highness to tell the soldiers this news now, although it will cause them dissatisfaction with the First Fleet, but when they reach Sparta, Probably, it has already been adapted, and there will be no clash with the soldiers of the First Fleet. ”

Klotocatax agreed to Printors' suggestion and immediately relayed the news.

It didn't take long for it to cause a commotion in the army, and despite the restrictions of military law and officers, which did not affect the march, the legionnaires scolded the 1st Fleet along the way, and also made Klotocatax deeply aware of the contradictions between the Dionian Sea and the soldiers' deep desire for honor for the first time.

Approaching the southern border of Tegeria to rendezvous with Tegetinos, the army was confronted by the councillors of the Arcadian League.

After the battle, Crotocatacs was too busy dealing with the aftermath of the battle to send anyone to inform the Arcadian Alliance. The Mandinian guides, in a hurry, hurried back to their home state, informed the council of the decision of the Dionian commander, and did not go to Maigalópolis.

On the second day, the councillors of the Arcadian League saw a huge crowd of people returning from Tegea and passing through the territory of Megalopolis, including the Dionian army and thousands of prisoners, and inquired that the Dionian army had fought a major battle with Sparta yesterday and had won the final victory.

Of course, they were also surprised to learn that the Tegurians had suddenly betrayed in the decisive battle between Dionya and Sparta, attacked the flank of the Dionyan army, causing them great trouble, so the enraged Diognans captured Tegea after the battle, captured the surviving people, and sent them back to Messenia.

The councillors of the Arcadian League were appalled by the cruel decision made by the Ionians, knowing that among them were three councillors from Tegea, and the Ionian soldiers in charge of the escort refused to release the prisoners, even though they repeatedly pleaded and protested. As a result, the Arcadian councillors, led by Lycomedes, had to rush to Tegea to intercede with the commander of the Dionian army, but they happened to meet them halfway.

Faced with the pleas of the Acadian councillors, Croto Kataks felt a headache. After the battle that day, he was too angry because of the war of Adores, and gave such an order, and after a day, his mood was relatively stable, and he regretted a little in his heart that the order was too cruel, but the order had been carried out, and it was welcomed by the soldiers, and any more arbitrary changes would only weaken his authority, so he could only admit it regardless of it, and now there was a bitter master chasing after him to ask for an explanation, which made him feel very embarrassed.

Printors saw his embarrassment and offered to represent him before the Acadia League councillors.

Klotockataks thanked him.

Printors rode out of the group and rushed to the side of the road in front of him, and when he saw the Arcadian councilors, his face was like frost, and he said angrily: "Arcadians, it was your request that won our trust in the first place, and the kingdom was allied with you, so when Mandinia was besieged, we sent a large army to the rescue.

On the way, we learned that another ally, Teguea, was also attacked by the Spartans and was in danger, so in order to rescue Tegea, despite the fatigue of the march, we fought a meeting with the Spartan army, who knew that it was a conspiracy!

Damn the Tegurans! They colluded with Sparta, set a trap, and also sent troops to attack the flank of our army in the battle, causing the army to pay a heavy price of more than 3,000 casualties! And, our great Majesty Davers's son, General Adoris, was killed in battle!

The Tegurans collectively betray the covenant and break the sacred oath, and of course they will be severely punished! It is not even known whether this punishment will appease His Majesty's anger because of his grief. Anyone who knows the history of Dionya in the past should know that we, the Holy Kingdom of Dionia, keep our promises, but we also hate betrayers! Now that Tegura has betrayed at a critical time, we have to express our deep doubts about whether your city-state will be able to fulfill its covenant! ……”

Printors' inquiring appearance surprised the councillors of the Arcadian League, who did not expect that Tegea's betrayal would have such serious consequences: more than 3,000 casualties, equivalent to the number of Ionian soldiers in one of their city-states' young population! There was even the son of the king of Dionya who died in battle!

Now that the Ionian army had defeated the Spartan coalition in the battle, it had shown them the power of Dionia, and the Arcadian councillors, who had begun to fear its force, were really afraid that the Dionian king would be angry with their city-state, and began to say: "We Mandinians are mortal enemies of Sparta, and we are also the initiators of this covenant, and we will never betray you Dionya like Tegea!" ”

We are the same with Fryos, the Spartan mercenaries destroyed our villages, destroyed our fields, our people hated the Spartans to the core, and it was impossible to cooperate with the Spartans! ”

"Since we, the Okomenus, have sworn in the name of the gods and signed an alliance agreement with Dionia, we will abide by this agreement within the time limit, and will never go back!"

……

The Acadian councillors, eager to defend themselves and prove their innocence, completely forgot the purpose of their trip, and only the Tegurans cried out loudly: "General, we admit that the Teguras have made great mistakes, but many of them are probably not voluntary, but have been coerced by the Spartans and the Pro-Spartan nobles of the Tigeas, and they have to do so!" I hope you will forgive them for their sins, and the Tegurans will be grateful and will do their best to assist the Dionian allies in the future! ……”

Printors looked at these Tegerian councillors with an unusually pitiful look, and said softly: "You don't know yet, before our army arrived in Tegea, the Tegerian pro-Spartan faction colluded with the Spartans and incited the people to kill all the anti-Spartans and their relatives in the city, and when we broke through the city of Tegea, we found only a very small number of survivors, they are the only ones who have not been punished, and they are currently being treated in the city, may Hades bless them, among them are your relatives......"
