For a time, everyone remained silent and no one responded.
Demo Dokas was shocked: he knew that during his time he was under the command of Dionysius, relying on the strong army of Syracuse to support the alienation and fight against political opponents in the city of Rocky. The bill was directly executed without the vote of the council and the citizen assembly, and it was almost the sole responsibility of Locke. But now it seems that many people are resentful and ready to give him embarrassment when they find opportunities!
Just when he secretly regretted that such a meeting should not be held, his confidant Pantipabes finally stood up and said: "This is actually very simple. We can transfer the troops stationed in Medma back and fight back. Nia people!"
"It's so easy, what about Medma?!" Metlovinis asked.
"It is reported that Medma has more than 2,000 civic soldiers, able to defend against the enemy's attack, and we don't have to worry about it for the time being." Pantipac Pace responded with ease.
"Don't worry?!" Metlow Finnis sneered: "Before the messenger of Medma had said that more than 10,000 soldiers of the Devians who defeated our army, plus the Lijim of Taurina. People, I am afraid that the number of soldiers in the enemy exceeds 20,000! More than two thousand Medma civic soldiers want to resist the attack of 20,000 people?! The army of Dionia is not the general Greek army, but they have great power. Guns!..."
Metrophonis anxiously reminded everyone: "Once Medma falls, the huge army of Dionia and Lijim can be killed from the west, and then the army of Coulenania, we are Locke It’s dangerous!”
The words of Metrophonis let the people of the council listen, and all of them were nervous. Someone couldn’t help but shouted: "I see... we are still in peace with Dionya!"
When this was said, it was actually accompanied by many people.
"Idiot!" Demodoccas finally couldn't help but slam the exit: "The Crotones, Trina, and Cologne of the Nanyi League are our deadly enemies for decades. They are in this war. All the losses are heavy. Think about your pig's head. What kind of price do we have to pay to smooth the anger in their hearts?!"
"The so smart chief general must have a way to repel the coalition attack of Coulania, Dionia and Lijim!" Some people screamed sullenly and screamed, and many people snickered.
Demo Dokas looks pale, if in the past, who would dare to talk to him like this! The defeat of Syracuse has changed the minds of the members of the Rocky Council!
Demo Dokas felt a chill in his heart. He loudly reminded: "Syracuse suffered a more fierce defeat in the war with Carthage, but the final victory still belongs to Syracuse! Nowadays, Syracuse, which has more than half of Sicily, has failed to fight. It still has abundant resources and wealth, and a large population. This is far from being comparable to the city-states of Dionia, Crotone and Trina. The final winner must be Syracuse! And we are here to discuss with the enemy alone, you think about it, Dionysius will forgive the betrayers after the victory!"
Demodoccas scorned everyone, precisely because of the close relationship between Rocky and Syracuse, the Rocky talents understood the horror of Dionysius, even if Demodocus called "Syracuse "Winning" is just a hypothesis. They don't dare to take risks because they are hypothetical, so they avoid the eyes of Demodokas.
The performance of the people made Demo Dokas breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at Metlow Phoenix a few times and said with a firm voice: "What we have to do now is to stick to it! Hold on to Rocky City! Until the final victory. Arrival! By then, the land of Coulania and even the West Chamber will be owned by Locke!"
In the end, the Lockley Council made the decision to “return the army of Medma and defend the territory” and reached the goal of Demodokas convening the council to share the responsibility, avoiding the possibility of suffering because of his own decision. The blame for "abandoning the allies." But the future of the battle has also made Demodokas feel uneasy. As a relative of Dionysius, he has to do more preparations.

Just as Hilos led his army to Hibernian, the First Corps had embarked on the fleet of Sekleian and headed south.
In the afternoon, the ship entered the port of Lijim and was once again warmly welcomed by the Lijim people.
At the same time, the head of the First Army, Antonios, met Lijim’s ruler, Daphus’s father-in-law, Attilius, who brought in the “Lorick’s main force in Hibernian because of Lijim-Dae’s The good news of the surprise attack by the Nigerian coalition forces made Atily Cruz and the members of the council present excited.
Many people even claimed that "Phadun did a good job!", but forgot tonight last night, when they learned that Feidun took most of the troops of Taurus and took the boat north, he was panicked and complained of anger: "Philippines arbitrarily mobilized the troops, causing Lijim to be in danger. It is necessary to take him back to Lijim and accept a severe trial!"
Then Antonios offered a letter from Daves to Attilus. After reading it, he smiled and read it in public at the council. The letter begins with Daves’ respect for his father-in-law. Greetings, as well as talking about the pregnancy of Aunt Grace.
When I heard this, the lawmakers began to like Adily Cruz, and complimented him: "I found a good son-in-law!" In fact, the same is true. As the war continues, the two great powers of Greece The strengths of Rotonet and Lockley were greatly weakened. Even the land and navy of the Syracuse invasion was hit hard. The Lijim suddenly realized that if there were no big accidents, the post-war Dionya The forces will surely have a greater expansion. I heard that Davers is now the king of Dionia, so the identity of Attilis is even more precious!
For this reason, how can the Lijim people let go of the opportunity to flatter.
Attilis Cruz smiled and he was glad that he had made a very correct decision and married his daughter to the low-lying "upstart" Daves.
In the letter, Daves went on to mention: ... Although Dionia defeated Syracuse, but the war is far from over, Syracuse has the rich resources of Sicily, and may send new military reinforcements at any time. Therefore, in order to end the war as soon as possible, it is necessary to lead the war to Sicily, disturb the order there, destroy the territory of Syracuse, and capture the alliance of Syracuse, in order to better weaken the power of Syracuse and force it to take the initiative. surrender! To this end, Dionia hopes to receive the full support of the Allied Lijim...
The lawmakers who had just rushed to congratulate the chief general heard this and did not speak. They admit that Davers is right. Attacking Sicily is the best way to defeat Syracuse, but Li Jim is fully supported. The business habits of the merchants must be carefully considered: full support means providing the fleet, Providing the army, providing material transportation, and supplying military supplies... For Lijim, who also supports the troops and Locke, this will be another huge contribution! And who knows when the upcoming Sicilian war will end! ......
Attilis looked at the contrast of the crowd and smiled in his heart. He continued to read loudly: "...After the end of the war with Syracuse, Dionia will surely take Messina and will Co-manage with Lijim! Managing an important strait checkpoint city, Diaonia has no experience and needs to rely on Lijim's great assistance..."
"I didn't get it wrong?! Daionia wants to have Messina together with us!"
"You didn't understand it?! It's mainly because we manage Messina, we can finally get it, and completely monopolize the Straits!"
......
Members of Parliament are excited to discuss.
"You, about the allies of the United States, we need our assistance..." When Attilis revisited this matter, the people did not hesitate and expressed their support.
"As long as Master Daphus realizes the promises in Thaksin after the war, Li Jim should fully support Dionia to attack Sicily!"
"If you want to get Messina, Syracuse must be defeated! So we will support Dionya!"
"Now the port is open and the route is open. As long as the number of soldiers sent to Sicily by Dionya is not too much, I think we should be able to supply two or three months of military food..."
......
Attilusus couldn’t help but sigh: When he was advised by his son gave up the idea of monopolizing Messina and wrote a letter to advise Daves to take Messina from Thira. Kuza took it in his hands and didn't expect Daves's appetite to be greater. In exchange for Messina, Lijim's support for Dionynia's foothold in Sicily!
....................................
On the second day, Dionysius of Siriting was angry with the unreasonable demands of Davers, and urged the craftsmen to speed up the construction of the irons, while secretly sending people to bury the two days because of serious injuries. The body of the Asians sneaked out quietly, put down the first level, let the messenger take the Dainian camp, perfuse Daves, and continue to negotiate with Davis on the peace talks.
In Hibernian, Dionya - Lijim coalition team set off and marched to Medma.
The Medma people were angry and upset because of the withdrawal of the Rocky army, but Locky’s reminders and warnings made them have a illusion about the Syracuse, so they decided to stay on the sidelines.
After the failure of the persuasion, Hilos decided to attack the city of Medma with Filipino, Hieronymus and Ledes.
The troops began to build camps, and the engineering camp continued to build siege equipment.
