"Since Dionysius wanted to make peace, what were the conditions he gave?" Davers asked calmly, as if the words that Damocles had said before had never happened, but instead made Damocles feel pressured.

He bowed and said, "Lord Dionysius' proposal is, 'Return to Sicily the army of Syracuse and return all the lands and towns of Greater Greece that they occupied, as well as the captives.'" But the South Italian Alliance must also make a guarantee that there will be no war with the Lockley League......"

"What?!" When Henipolis heard this, he could not hold back, and shouted again: "Are you fools for us!" Killed so many Ionians, turned the territories outside Crimesa and Asprarustum into ruins, and provoked civil strife in the Bruti region...... Now that you have been defeated and trapped in the Xili Court, we are about to settle the blood debt with you, but you want to escape back to Sicily smoothly by relying on a peace negotiation, it is not so easy! ”

This time, Damocles did not turn a deaf ear, he looked at Davers, and said seriously: "The peace talks are not up to our Syracuse side, you can also put forward your conditions." ”

Davers pondered for a moment and said slowly: "You can come back tomorrow, I need to seriously consider this matter, and I also have to discuss it with Trina and Ciliting." ”

When Damocles heard this, he looked at the tangled look on Davers's face, and immediately rejoiced in his heart: It seems that this time the peace talks are really promising!

After Damocles left, Henipolis finally couldn't hold back and asked with a look of surprise: "Your Majesty, are you...... Do you really want to talk to the people of Syracuse?! ”

"Do you think it's possible!" The calm expression on Davers's face suddenly became fierce.

"But you just ...... Just now—" Henipolis seemed to realize something.

"The words of the envoy of Syracuse just now reminded me that even if we destroy the enemy here, Syracuse may still be able to cobble together another large army and continue to fight against us, so-" Davers looked at the lively camp in front of him with blazing eyes, and said in a resolute tone: "Our eyes cannot only be fixed on Great Greece, there is a good saying, 'If you don't die if you fight a wolf, you will be injured by a wolf.'" We must do everything we can to kill this wolf of Syracuse! ”

Henipoliston: "Your Majesty, are you preparing to attack Sicily?!" ”

Davers nodded, considering that this young man would be his confidant in the future, and he also revealed a hint of tone: "Aristiras's men are already operating in Sicily, and with the victory in this battle, we need to increase our strength-"

At this time, Tolmid came to report with a happy face: "Report to Your Majesty, Sekerian has sent a messenger whose fleet has landed on the coast of Hibernian with 5,000 Lijim soldiers and has surrounded the city of Hibernian!" ”

Davers had heard Shiros talk about their plans before, but he was not much surprised, he touched his chin with his hand, pondered for a while, and then gave the order: "Tolmid, you go and call Shiros, Antonios, and Hieronymus." ”

"Yes." Thormid turned to leave.

"Heney, I dictate, you record, write a letter."

"Okay." This was the first time that Henipolis had accepted a task as a clerk, and he replied excitedly. At this moment, the big tent had not yet been built, so he looked left and right, and soon found a wooden plank, cut off a piece of papyrus, lay on the grass, and asked, "To whom is the letter written?" ”

"Lord Artilicrus, the chief general of Lijim."

"Oh." Henipolis's eyes rolled, and he knew it was Davers's father-in-law.

…………………………………

It didn't take long for several generals to arrive.

Davers didn't say much to them, but said bluntly: "Time is urgent! Ligem's army landed on Sekerian's ships and besieged the city of Hibernian, and the garrison of Medmar is likely to come north to the rescue, and I ask that you lead your forces to Hebernian at once, repel the reinforcements of Lockley, and take the city of Hibernian, and I will send you an additional siege camp. ”

Davos spoke, his gaze swept over the faces of his trusted generals, and finally fell on Shiros: the capture of Kraos, the rapid march to Trina, and the decisive march north to cut off the return of the Syracuse army...... The series of military operations taken by Shilos during this period of independent leadership amazed Davers.

Therefore, he said slowly: "This operation will be carried out by Shilos as the commander of the army, and you must all follow his orders!" ”

When Ryders heard this, he had no objections, the cavalry had always been a subordinate of the infantry, and there were few independent military operations, besieging and attacking the city of Ciliting, the cavalry was useless, and it was enough for him to be able to send it out to fight.

Hieronymus frowned and did not speak. I think back then, when he was in Persia, he was a mercenary general, Shiros was just a squad leader, his qualifications were much more than Shiros, but now he has to listen to Shiroth's command, and it is impossible to have no idea in his heart, but as long as Hieronymus can be valued by the commander and have a place to show his talents, he has little desire to fight for power. What's more, in the past few years in Greater Greece, Shiros's performance is obvious to all, whether it is military or government affairs, he admires it.

Antonios felt uncomfortable. After all, Shilos was still his subordinate before, but now he has to listen to Shilos's command, and he feels very awkward. What's more, he thought that his ability was not inferior to Shiros, and he led the most powerful First Legion in Dionia, and those proud soldiers would probably make a fuss if they heard about it.

Thinking of this, he was about to speak.

Shilos had already preemptively said: "Your Majesty, I think Lord Anton Ríos is more suitable to be the commander of this military operation, he is not only experienced, but the First Army under his command is also the most reliable force in this operation!" As a commander, he was able to make all his brothers willing to obey the command! ”

Antonios glanced at him, then turned to Davers.

Davos smiled slightly, and after a few years of training, Shilos even became much more tactful in speaking.

Davers shook his head lightly: "Antonios cannot be the commander of the attack on Hibernian, and the First Army he leads has more important tasks to perform!" ”

Antonios listened to the doubts in his heart: Is there anything more important than attacking Siriting and attacking Lokry?!

"General Hieronymus, Captain of the Rydes Legion, you two will fully assist Shiros in repelling the Lokley and take Hibernian as soon as possible!" Davers clenched his fists and waved vigorously: "Then go in and force Medmar, take it if you have the chance, and leave the Lorkry people without a foothold on the west coast of Great Greece!" ”

Hieronymus and Ryders immediately expressed their willingness to obey the command of Hiros with all their might.

"Just now it was just my suggestion, and the specific actions have to be flexibly formulated by you according to the situation on the battlefield, and you don't need to ask me for instructions, I believe that the results you have obtained will exceed my expectations." Davers encouraged the three of them, and then said to Shiros: "This time to Hibernian, it involves cooperation with the Lijim army, and you have to deal with them. ”

"I will, Your Majesty." Shilos nodded cautiously.

"But you don't have to worry too much, the commander of the Lijim army is called Fei Dun, and I heard that he is a brave and good fighter, and he is very easy to get along with, and knows the overall situation." Davers reassured him.

Then he looked at Antonios and said solemnly: "After the First Legion has come to Hibernian and assisted Shiros in repelling the reinforcements of Lokri, if it is easier to capture Hibernian, then the First Legion will participate in the siege; If the siege had taken a long time, the First Legion was not to stay in Hibernian for a long time, and Sekerian's fleet was docked on the shores of Hibernian, and all the soldiers of the First Legion were on board and headed for Ligem. ”

"The First Legion to Lijim?!" Antonios was a little surprised.

"Yes, go to Lijim." Davos took a letter from Henipolis, handed it to Antonios, and earnestly instructed: "You give this letter to Lord Artiliclus of Lijim, and if he provides you with military rations and other aid, as the letter says, then the final destination of the First Legion will be Sicily." If he refused, then the 1st Army would have to return to Hibernian. ”

"Sicily" - when the word came out of Davers's mouth, the generals present were shocked.

"What? Scared?! Davers looked at Antonios teasingly.

Originally, Antonios was still a little dissatisfied with Davers's choice of Shilos as the commander of the expedition, but now he learned that he would lead his army out of Great Greece and cross the sea to Sicily alone, he couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure, but Davers's agitation made him bite the bullet and say: "The First Army...... Willing to travel to Sicily. ”

"The 1st Legion was the most powerful of the Dionian Legions, and many of its soldiers were old brothers who had participated in the Persian expedition and had a wealth of experience in fighting in enemy territory. Therefore, if none of the First Legions is able to implement this battle plan, it is even more unlikely that the other Legions will gain a foothold in Sicily! Davos said to Antonios expectantly.

Antonios squeezed out a smile in response.

"You don't have to be too nervous, although most of Sicily is now under the control of Syracuse, Syracuse relies on the use of military force and tyrannical killings to intimidate the originally independent Sicilian city-states and force them to submit. Dionysius raised tyrants to help him rule these city-states, and levied high tributes to maintain his huge army, and the Greek people of Sicily, and even the people of Syracuse, were already very dissatisfied with Dionysius! ”
