"Shut up! Drag this traitor of Lucaria down, chop it up and feed it to the dogs! Sincinag shouted angrily, he must not allow Hemon to trumpet the benefits of the Greeks here, which might break the morale of his people.

"Kill me? All right! Davers, the consul of Dionia, is the most protective of calves! When you attacked his camp, he annihilated the Lucanian coalition! When the Crotoneians invaded his territory, he took them all captive! Kill me, a citizen of the Diorian Alliance, and believe it or not tomorrow the army of the Diorian Coalition will be under the city of Grummentum! Hmon let the warrior come up and hold his hands, shouting fearlessly.

Sincinag's cheeks twitched a few times, and he changed his words: "Take him ...... Get him out of here! ”

Hemon laughed secretly in his heart, he had long heard that the great leader of Pikosis was a soft guy who bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard, and sure enough, if it was Akpiru, he would not dare to take the initiative to recommend himself to die: "Don't you want to hear the good news I brought?!" ”

Sincinag's outstretched hand was fixed in the air.

"What's the good news?!" The leaders asked urgently.

Hermon pushed away the guards and said loudly: "As the emissary of the Dionian Alliance, I have been appointed by the Senate to discuss the possibility of peace with Grumentum and Pixis!" ”

When Sincinag heard this, his heart was shocked.

"The Greeks are not coming to attack us?!"

"Great! We don't have to give up Grummentum! ”

"Can't trust the Greeks! If you want peace, why occupy Niutum ?! ”

……

There was a sense of relief in the fierce arguments of the leaders.

"Foolish Picosians, have you forgotten the old words of our Lucanians. With a big stick in his hand, he is not afraid of wolves. Hermon laughed: "If the Daioria Alliance does not occupy Niutum, will you be willing to sit down and negotiate peace with the Alliance?!" The Greeks, who love the sea, are not at all interested in the land of Lucaria, which is full of mountains, barren land, and poor roads, and it is very difficult to do business or travel, if it were not for the fact that the Lucanians always attack Turiy through Niutum, the alliance in order to protect the territory from infringement, occupied Niutum and blocked your way south......"

The chiefs thought that this was indeed the case, and stopped talking.

Sincinag asked again uncertainly: "The Greeks really plan to make peace with me?!" ”

"Of course it's true! Why else am I going to do it?! Hermon said angrily.

Sincinagton felt relaxed, he leaned back in his chair, and said, "Is it that Niutum is still very messy, afraid that I will take the opportunity to attack?" ”

"Great Chief, are you saying the opposite?" Hemon scoffed.

Sincinag coughed awkwardly and said, "Okay, let me hear about your ...... Conditions of the Deoria Alliance. ”

…………………………

Both sides have the will for peace, and naturally the negotiations are going well.

A day later, an agreement was reached: the union of Dionian city-states and Picosis and Grumentum were bounded by a pass between the two rivers, and that they would not invade each other, and that the two sides could open a market at the junction; The Dionian League was not to support Pikosis' enemies, and Pikosis was not to be intercepted by small tribes or wandering hill people who were not under Pikosis' control to Niutum......

The term of the agreement is one year. Originally, Sincinag wanted a five-year term, but Hermon refused, citing that many in the league were skeptical that the Picosis would be able to keep the agreement, and if Picosis won the trust of the Dionian League elders with a good one-year performance, the next renewal would be extended.

Sincinag was furious, but could not help it, for he needed this peace agreement more than the Greeks, so that he could deal with the hostile tribes of Grumentum without any worries, and then against Portentia, who had accepted Lusau, and as for the Dionian League, at least after he became the leader of the Lucalians......

………………………

Before the Dionian League signed a contract with Sincinag, Avinogis of Laos had reached a new agreement with the Alliance: First, Laos agreed to build the Turiyi-Niutum-Laos Highway and was willing to provide a large amount of labor (Laos had a large number of Greek slaves in the city, mainly descendants of Sibaris, who were now freedmen, but Avinogis could not give them access to land and had to sell their labor to make ends meet). In addition, the Lucalians in the previous city of Laos were either killed or turned into slaves). At the same time, Avignogis intends to provide all the funds for the construction of the road. On this point, Davers politely declined his kindness, and finally offered to share it equally between the two parties.

2. The Dionian Coalition shall not convert the Laos who have entered or fled into the Coalition into citizens of the Coalition without the permission of the Dios, and shall be responsible for their return.

At the southernmost tip of the Peloponnese, there is a land that was called Lassidimon in ancient times and is now called Laconia. The land is surrounded by natural barriers, facing the sea to the east and south, with dark and terrible mountains in the north, and the desolate and tall Tegetos Mountains to the west, with its five claw-like peaks, often covered with snow even in the heat of summer. Protected by these treacherous terrains, the small plain is crossed from north to south by the turbid and turbulent Eurotas River, whose mouth is home to the tomb of Helen, who once fabulated Greece and caused the Trojan War of the Decade, and up the mouth of the river, to the middle of the river, where there is an unwalled city called Sparta.

It is a rather rustic city, and although it seems to be large, with the exception of the temple, the buildings are low and shabby, but there is a quiet and peaceful peculiarity of the countryside, without the noise of market vendors and the frolic of theatrical actors. In the early morning, the people of the city rose early, and the blacks went to the fields to work in the fields, the housewives took care of the household at home, and the men went out for military training and political affairs.

The Council of Elders and the Overseer were the two major powers of power in Sparta. And on this day, both institutions were simultaneously dealing with matters concerning Asia Minor. Tibulon's wild remarks to Christopus in Ephesus were nothing more than a joke to the powerful Inspectorate, and the evidence of his dereliction of duty was conclusive, not to mention that the emissaries of the allies of Asia Minor were still awaiting the outcome of the trial in Sparta, and no one dared to intercede for him, and he was fined and sentenced to banishment without even having a chance to defend himself.

At this point, Tiblon would be driven out of Sparta.

At the Council of Elders, except for King Akis, who was unable to attend due to a serious illness and entrusted his younger brother Agesilaus to attend on his behalf, the other twenty-nine elders all arrived on time to discuss the aftermath of the city-state of Ellis.

The city-state of Alice, located near the Olympia region of the Peloponnese, had long had the support of Sparta to win the Olympia Games from another city-state, Pisa. During the Peloponnesian War, it took refuge in Athens, and the year before it prevented King Achilles, the king of Sparta, who had gone to Olympia to offer sacrifices to the temple of Zeus because of the Oracle of Delphi......

These events finally angered the Spartans, and six years after the surrender of Athens, they declared war on Alys, sending the humiliated king Archis to invade Alys with an army, but if it were not for the earthquake, Archis thought it was not a good omen and withdrew his army. Then the war was already over at the beginning of the year. At the urging of the procurators, a few months later, Archis led his troops to invade the territory of Ellis again, burning and looting, destroying fields and buildings, and capturing a huge number of livestock and slaves.

Archis did not take the opportunity to capture the city of Ellis, after all, it was an ancient Greek city-state, and as the host country of the Olympia Games, it had a reputation among the Greek city-states. Akis withdrew his troops and returned home, and soon fell ill.

After discussion, the elders unanimously agreed that if Ellis, who had suffered a great loss of strength, did not want to be attacked by Sparta again next year, he would definitely come to peace talks. Sparta had to force Ellis to allow the towns of Frixa, Epitarion, and Epion to become independent from its subordination, further weakening it and making it no longer able to resist Sparta. If Alice agreed, then Sparta also allowed it the right to host the Olympia Games and jurisdiction over the location of the Temple of Zeus in Olympia.

The reason why the Spartan elders were reluctant to return the rights to host the Olympia Games and the jurisdiction of the Temple of Zeus to Pisa (because Olympia and the Temple of Zeus were already within the territory of Pisa) was because they believed that Pisa had always held a grudge against the Spartans since Sparta separated the Olympia region from Pisa territory a hundred years ago, and that the Pisians had always had a good relationship with Argos, Sparta's sworn enemy.

After dealing with Ellis, Elder Lysander stood up and said, "Elders, I believe you have all read the report sent by Christopus in Ephesus. The Supervisory Yuan hopes that we will come up with a disposition as soon as possible. ”

An elder muttered dissatisfiedly, "The Supervision Yuan is too domineering now, and it actually commanded us!" ”

Everyone present didn't seem to hear, only King Pausanias said coldly: "That's not because of the support of Lysander!" ”

Lysander was also unheard.
