v9 Chapter 151： Bad news

There was a glimmer of hope in everyone's dim eyes.

However, Agassilaus sighed in his heart: Even if they finally retake Sparta, will those Piriasi and Black Laos who have tasted the sweetness be willing to accept their rule again?

………………………………………………

In the evening, Davers dragged his tired body back to his mansion.

Dinner was originally the busiest time for the Daves family, but Daves did not speak much today. Even though Eunice took the initiative to provoke the subject of her father several times, his answer seemed perfunctory.

After the meal, Daves called Christia and Agnes to the master bedroom on the second floor.

"Your Majesty, did something happen to Croto?!" It's rare for Christia to see Davers showing such an ugly look, plus she has been worrying about Croto Kata who is on the expedition these days. X, so there was a violent anxiety in my heart.

Daves sighed: "It's not Croto, it's Adoris... he has gone to Elysee..."

The first sentence made Kristia breathe a sigh of relief, and the next sentence made her worry again: "Adoris?! How could it?! He has always been so reassuring, and he is so strong that he has become a man again. Captain...what--"

Daves sighed again, and said in a heavy tone: "Crotto led his army in a decisive battle with the main Spartan army. The Spartans attacked fiercely, and the group led by Adoris was the focus of the attack. He eventually suffered multiple war wounds..."

Kristia was dumbfounded for a moment, and suddenly cursed, "What is Croto doing! As the military commander, why didn't he take care of his brother? Did he forget Adoris all these years? How did you care about him! —"

"Sister!" After all, Agnes came in late, and coupled with her indifferent personality, she didn't have a deep feeling for Adoris, so she could keep calm when she heard the news. Holding her trembling hand, softly comforted: "Crotto and Adoris have a deep friendship. It's impossible not to take care of his brother. I'm afraid this is an... accident, right?"

Daves nodded and said in a low voice: "Spartan King Agsilius is a cunning opponent. He formulated a sinister battle plan, which once caused the First Army to fall into chaos, and almost caused our army to fight. The entire battle was defeated. Fortunately, Croto dealt with it properly and finally won the battle...The entire brigade led by Adoris was almost completely destroyed. This is the biggest loss of this battle!"

"But... how should I face Cynthia, face Aiduy and the child!" Kristonia said with sobbing tears: "Since Adoris went out of independence, I haven't paid much attention to him. I am not a good mother..."

Davers lightly pressed his wife’s shoulder, and said emotionally: "No, you have always been Adoris’s good mother, and you have carefully raised him...but it’s me, I have never really accepted him. For my own child, I was too harsh on him, now that I think about it... I really regret it!"

Kristia looked at her husband with tears in her eyes, wiped her tears, and comforted her: "Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself. It is our women's business to teach our children. Your affairs are so busy..."

Kristia’s words did not relieve Daves’ guilt. He shook his head, stood up, and said: "Agnes, you are here to accompany Kristia, I’ll go out for a walk. go."

"It's so late, where are you going?" Agnes asked with concern.

"Stand on the cliff and look at the Craty River."

Daves really stood on the hill, overlooking the Craty River in the evening. He still remembered that when he moved to this hill ten years ago, it was dark at night, and the surface of the river where the whirlpools appeared constantly reflected the moonlight, which looked extraordinarily deep, plus the sound of rumbling waves from upstream, it always gave people a kind of Feeling of palpitations.

But now, not only are the lights on both sides of the Krati River gleaming like stars in the sky, but the lights in the river are also connected into a piece, shaking the river surface, which are the ships entering the river port under the guidance of the lighthouse, and some Dioni Asian merchants deliberately used custom-made cruise ships to make restaurants on the river... The bustle and hustle and bustle replaced the desolation and loneliness of the past. This is the result that Davers has created with the efforts of these decades, and it is also his change to the world.

Thinking of this, a feeling of pride rose from the bottom of my heart, dispelling Davers's original guilt.

The news of the "Dionian army conquering Sparta" quickly spread throughout Greece, which shocked many city-states and at the same time prompted some city-states to speed up their joint resistance.

Because the Corinthians were active participants in the war between Dionian and Sparta, they even attacked merchant ships in the port by the Dionian fleet. Therefore, the enraged Corinth was the first to join the anti-Dionian alliance. One of the city-states, now it is very likely to be the next target to be attacked by the Dionian army.

The anxious Corinthians made emergency military mobilizations while appealing to their friends for help.

Argos has been hesitant during this war. In addition to not wanting to help his mortal enemy Sparta, another important reason is that Dionian envoy Carrias once proposed to the Argos Council, "As long as they support Dai Oonia, after the war, Dionia will take the Taitia (not the Taitia in Arcadia, but the northeast corner of the Spartan territory) that they had taken by Sparta a hundred years ago. A small town adjacent to the territory of Argos) returned to Argos."

The Argoss were moved, but soon they were shaken again under the persuasion of the eloquent Athenian envoy. Later, as a close neighbor of Sparta, the Argos discovered that the Dionians had occupied Sparta and completely abolished Sparta’s original government, and changed both the Piriasi and the Black Ros. Become a new citizen of Sparta... Sparta has not changed except that piece of land, everything else has changed.

This made Argos, who was also an oligarchy, panicked. They finally decided to join the anti-Dionian alliance to strengthen border defenses while reinforcing the friendly ally Corinth.

The Athenians were already conducting military mobilization. After learning that the Dionian army had completely occupied Sparta, the Athens Council felt more urgent and urged its allies and sub-states overseas to send reinforcements and supplies to Athens as soon as possible. Generals such as Callistratus knew: Under the conditions of the fall of Sparta and the strong performance of Dionia, if Athens does not come forward and raise their arms, many city-states with unstable will are likely to be Fall to Dioria.

Therefore, Athens quickly formed an army of 10,000, led by Ifetrax, and went all the way to support Corinth with great fanfare.

Thebes and his allies strengthened their determination to remain neutral after learning that Dionia had captured Sparta. The city-states of Phokis and Locris to the west were influenced by the priests of Delphi and actively responded to the call of Athens. A total of 6,000 soldiers were sent to join the Athenian army.

Sparta was completely defeated, and Pisa had no strong support. Even without the previous promise, it was inevitable that it would eventually depend on Ellis in the same area. Ellis, who was hostile to Dionia before, began to hesitate. Undecided, because with the occupation of Messenia and Sparta by Dionian, the Arcadian Alliance became the alliance of Dionian, Ellis located in the northwestern corner of the Peloponnese It was already completely surrounded by Dionia and its allies, so when other city-states that joined the anti-Dionia alliance were actively acting, it was a bit dead.

After the Dionian army donated Tygya to Mandinia, other city-states of the Arcadian Alliance hoped that Mandynia would return the Tygya territory and worked with them to persuade the Dionian army Forgive the captured Taigeya people and let them return home.

How were the Mandinians willing to spit out the fat they swallowed in their mouths? In the face of the surging public opinion, Lycomides, who initially expressed his opposition, eventually changed his course to defend Mandinia's interests.

The two sides quarreled endlessly, and some city-states even threatened to "leave the alliance". At this moment, the news came that the "Dionian army occupied the whole territory of Sparta", and the dispute between the Arcadian alliance soon stopped. , And quickly reached an agreement: send an envoy to Sparta to congratulate the allied state Dionia and understand its handling of Sparta.

In Thessaly, North Greece, Jason declared in Fasalus that as a member of the Greek city-state, the UU Reading Thesalians would never sit by and watch foreigners invade the land of Greece and bully Greece. Fellow! He, Targus of Thessaly, will lead all the warriors of Thessaly, drive away the invaders, and help the compatriots in the south to take home the garden! "

After he issued a military mobilization, the races in the city-states and surrounding mountainous areas in Thessaly sent troops to gather in Fasalus...
