Sipros gave a detailed and comprehensive review of the Dionyrian army at the Trina Council: "...I am impressed that the Diaonian civics have strong discipline and obedience to orders. Different from the other allied forces I have seen, including ourselves. It is said that the Dionysian Union has specially developed a military law to constrain the behavior of soldiers and military training, marching, camping, etc. There are strict regulations, and there are military judges in the army to supervise the execution. The soldiers are punished for violating the military law. There is no obvious contradiction and resistance, but they are ashamed...

I learned from the soldiers of the Dionysian citizen that they must train every five days during the slack season. This is already a number of surprises for our Trina people, and they seem to be very happy to train, not to complain because of training. Wasteland... So they can use the shield spears, bows and javelins in their hands, and maintain a complete formation in the march. The construction of the camp is not only serious, but also has a clear division of labor and high efficiency, so it can be built in a short time. A guarded camp that surprised me...

In addition, there is another obvious difference between the Dionysian army and other city-states. Their commanders and team officers at all levels are not temporarily identified after the mobilization of the war. Instead, they have always held positions in the military, so they not only fight. He is experienced and familiar with every soldier under his jurisdiction. Therefore, when the marching camp is built, the soldiers are very smooth, and they have a tacit understanding. The duties between the superior and the subordinate are clear, and there are very few shouts and self-decisions when executing orders...

What surprised me even more is that these soldiers are not afraid of fighting and are eager to fight. This reminds me of the Spartans in Greece. Although I have not seen the situation of their fighting, but can beat Crotone with less wins, enough to prove the combat effectiveness of the Dionyrian army. In short, in my eyes, the Dionysian army is like a terrible war weapon that is finely crafted and works well! ......"

After listening to Cipros, the Trina Council will make a decision: to give Daionia the greatest support in the Nanyi League without affecting its own interests.

After a few days of negotiations, the peace talks agreement was finally reached: Lockeley compensated for a certain amount of gold and silver in Cologne, Trina, Xiliting, Crotone, and the two sides achieved an armistice...

........................

On the occasion of the restoration of peace in South Italy, a major war broke out in the Lukaria region of northwestern Dionia in early March.

The army of Potentia was besieged and attacked Grummentum, not for ten days. Panacis's Gennanet led the army and slammed the rear of the Potentia army, and Cincinnag met with the reinforcements in the city and led the attack in time. Potentia was attacked before and after. Quickly retreat. The Picosis and the Grumman Tum were chasing after the end, and the Potentia lost the camp and fled.

Picosis and Grummentum stepped into the Potentia camp before and after, and saw groups of cattle and sheep, piles of food, and many other tribe women captured along the way. A large number of slaves, where there is still a mind to pursue the enemy, the two sides began to rob the camp property and women, and there was a conflict.

The Pixus believed that they defeated the Potentia army, and these spoils should be owned by them; and the Grummentu people believed that most of these belongings belonged to Gru, outside the city of Potentia. The tribal income of Mentum should be returned to Grummantum.

The beginning of the quarrels and conflicts quickly became a battle, especially the Grummantum who was the best in the Lukania League. During this time, not only many leaders were killed, but also by the Pecosians. And the pessimism and instigation of the Picosis people, which made them feel lost and humiliated, plus the Pixsis soldiers who followed Cincinnage in the city of Grummentum, they The resentment accumulated in the heart has finally broken out. The Grummen Tummen gathered together and madly attacked the Pixus in the camp. The two sides began to fight and the scene was completely out of control.

Cincinnage couldn’t stop it. When he finally decided to destroy these capricious Grummantums together, Potentia’s leader, Polett, led the reorganized part of the warrior to kill again. The Pythosis who were killed by the Lumen Tum were attacked by the enemy, and eventually they were defeated. The father and son of Cincinnag took the remnants, and even the city of Grummentum did not dare to return. They fled directly into the mountains and finally fled back to the skin after several turns. Cossis.

In the end, the Potentias occupied Grummantum.

........................

At the same time, after two months of siege and hard work, Tarantum finally captured the small town of Brindisi, east of Tarantum and on the Adriatic Sea, since the city of Tarantum. A major breakthrough in the expansion of the territory.

The people will praise the leading generals, Diomeras and Achta. Achita is really not happy. This time, the attack on the Mesapi people was supported by the city-state. Although the original plan of the council was negotiated, the land of Tarantum and the Adriatic was opened. Going up the road and cutting off the connection between the Mesapi and the north, and blocking it in the peninsula, but the price paid is also very high, and the casualties of the Tarantum Citizens are as high as 4,000.

The fierceness of the Mesapi is famous in southern Italy. In the Greek colonial era hundreds of years ago, southern Italy established many Greek city-states, but on this "heel heel" peninsula, there was always only one Tarantum. While other colonial city states are attacking and assimilated nearby indigenous peoples and expanding their territories, the unique Tarantum people are lamenting their misfortunes. Their neighbors, the Mesapi people, are not only fierce, but also numerous. And the Mesapi people are not completely barbaric indigenous people. According to their own claims, they are from the Illyrians of northern Greece near the Adriatic Sea. They have cultural traditions similar to those of the Greeks (the Greeks never recognized them. They still regard them as barbarians, making it impossible for Tarantum to advance inland for hundreds of years. Especially in the past few decades, Tarantum supported the mother of Sparta in the Peloponnesian War, which caused the hostility of Athens, so Athens supported the Mesapi and Tarantum. The Sapi people’s invasion of Tarantum began to increase and the people suffered.

This time, if not stimulated by the rapid rise of Dionia, the Tarantum Senate may not be able to attack the Mesapi, but Acheta knows that although the city is temporarily victorious, the Mesapi will never give up. The war with them will probably last for a long time.

The mourning of the wounded soldiers outside the city is intertwined with the screaming screams of the crows who are eating the corpses.

Achta stood on the low wall of Brindsey, staring at the western side of the sun-stained red blood, full of worries about the future...

In April, the army of Syracuse continued to march westward, and the city-states such as Errox and Halusier all surrendered to the city. The only one that remained loyal to Carthage was the siege.

In the middle of the year, Dionysius's army arrived at the western end of Sicily, facing the island in the bay, and also the important base of Carthage in Sicily, Motiya.

Motiya ruined the causeway connecting the land and prepared to be on the sea.

Dionysius commanded the army to rebuild the causeway. At the same time, he led the troops to conquer the nearby areas. However, Sellinstadt repelled Syracuse’s offensive and forced Syracuse to continue to besiege it.

In May, the causeway was completed, and Dionysius led the army back and prepared to attack Motiya.

At this time, Carthage is also preparing to send troops to rescue this precarious sea city. They first adopted the strategy of Wei Wei Zhao, sent a warship to Syracuse, broke into the port, destroyed the port vessels, and attempted to draw Dionysius back, but Dionysius was unmoved.

Carthage General Himilco had to lead the army to directly rescue Motiya, and a large number of Carthage ships circumnavigated the Cape of Palermo and drove into the bay in an attempt to destroy the Syracuse ship that was resting on the beach.

Dionysius had been waiting for a long time. He laid down dozens of new weapons on the beach of the ring peninsula - a cannon, and a round stone with a large bowl of shots flew out. To the Carthage warship in the bay...

Daves carefully looked at the silver-white coin in his hand: it has a weight of four grams, very close to the standard circle, and on one side is a long-haired Hades head, engraved with the letters of the "Diaonia Union", another On one side is the leafy poplar tree (the sacred tree of Pluto), and the letter "www.novelhall.com" of the "95th Olympic Games in the third year" is located in the middle of the image, depicting subtle, obscure, letters Clear.

Davers throws up the coin, catches it again, squats in his hand and asks: "How much is silver?"

Trito Des Moss went forward and said: "According to your proposal and through the Senate's Coin Act, we have made a Delakma silver coin with a purity of more than 95%, with Athens." The Owl is of the same purity (known as the all-Greek famous Laurel silver coin), but--"Trito de Moss said with anxiety: "We don't have the big silver mine in Athens. The Treasury's income is mainly trade and tax revenue. There will be no small loss in the issuance of such high-purity silver coins."

Daves nodded and patiently explained: "We really will suffer some losses, but I explained it very clearly during the meeting of the Senate. Now Dionya’s monthly treasury income is nearly 50 Tarant, according to Mariji’s analysis, after we have more close ties with other alliances of the South African Alliance, this number will increase... Therefore, we can afford this loss. What's more, we have a market management office in every city and every market. It can accurately determine the purity of silver coins in each city's trade, as well as the bank's exchange, plus additional handling fees, which can partially compensate for the losses caused by the coalition because of the coinage..."
