At the beginning of the war, Castelon offered to send troops to participate in the battle, but was politely rejected by the Dionian Senate, because Diony's troops were strong enough, and Castron's soldiers were too small, which would affect the unified command of the army as a whole, so he only accepted Castron's warships and rations. Now Dionia, who is overstretched, has to ask Castro for help, no matter how small the mosquito's legs are, it is also meat.

"If the Syracuse don't land in full force to attack us, we have enough troops in Turiyi." "There are still 500 cavalry in the city of Turiyi, and the naval fleet of Sekrian is temporarily unable to go on the expedition, so some sailors can be drawn to serve as light infantry," Capus comforted them. Of course, it would be better to be able to get some heavy infantry from Castron City to replenish the army! ……”

Kunogorata stepped forward, solemnly saluted Kapus, and said in a deep voice, "Lord Kapus, Turiyi's safety is in your hands. ”

As soon as Kunogorata finished speaking, Cornerus and the other elders also wanted to salute Kaps, which was the first time that the traditional city-state elders had saluted the mercenary-turned-Kapus so solemnly, and he immediately felt pressured, and he returned a powerful military salute, and then strode out of the venue.

The worried elders look at me, I look at you, and the last of their eyes look at the empty seat in the front row in the center of the hall. Before, they were still a little entangled in their hearts about Davers becoming king, but now this emotion has disappeared without a trace, and there is only one thought in their hearts: Davers, when will you come back to save Dionia?!

……………………………

Syracuse's naval commander, Reptines, had no plans to land on the coast of Turiyi and attack the city of Turiy, but he knew very well that Turiyi was not Trina, it had enough men, and it was impossible for a simplely armed sailor to take the city with its high walls and strong defenses. Nor did he plan to send his ships into the Klatti, because the Syracuse did not occupy the Kratti side of the river, and the city of Turii was barrage, so if his ships were blocked and trapped in the river, they could easily be burned to ashes by enemy rockets......

Reptines, of course, was reluctant to put his ships and his experienced sailors in such a dangerous position, and he only sent a very small number of sailors to attack the outskirts of Turiyi, in order to force the Dionian fleet hiding in the Cratti River to come out for a decisive battle.

In contrast to the prudence of Reptines, the mercenary cavalry of Syracuse acted with great arrogance and no taboos. Although Crimesa had called on the people to hide in the city because of the persecution of the enemy's army, there were still a few who could not move into the city in time and were slaughtered by the foreign cavalry, especially the Celts who used their spears to pick up the heads of the Ionian people they had cut off, and even women and children, passed in front of the city with great force, which made the soldiers of the Sixth Legion stationed at the head of the city angry, but they were unable to attack because of the military orders......

The governor of Crimesa, Plotsilaus, was fidgeting in the town hall when he saw Olivers, the commander of the Sixth Legion, coming in, and hurriedly greeted him: "Lord Olivers, you are back!" ”

Olivers, who had just finished inspecting the defense of the port, saw the anxiety on Plotsilaus's face, and couldn't help but smile lightly: "Is the enemy attacking us?" Of course this is impossible, he has just finished his inspection, how can he not know.

"What's going on, you still have the heart to joke!" Plotsylaus hurried.

"What's wrong?!" Oliver retracted his smile and asked seriously.

"The families of the people you are holding behind have come to the town hall again, this time gathering hundreds of people and threatening, 'If they don't release their relatives, they will set up tents in front of the town hall and stay for a long time!' Teacher Plotsea said with a worried face that if he was made such a fuss by the people, he, the chief executive, would lose face and become a big joke in the entire Senate in the future.

"They dare!" Oliver sneered, knowing that when he led the Sixth Army to Crimesa before, he was blocked by a group of protesters outside the city gates, and it was he who detained him on the grounds of attacking the army and plotting a rebellion, so that the army could enter the city.

In the past few days, he has been busy arranging the defense of the whole city, and I don't know when some rumors began to circulate in the city: "The presence of so many soldiers of the Sixth Army in the city will only consume our small amount of food and water, and when the Syracuse people besiege the city, we Crimeans will be the first to starve to death......"

"Now the people of Syracuse are burning our fields and slaughtering our relatives outside the city. The soldiers of the Sixth Legion should go out of the city to drive them away and protect our relatives and property, instead of hiding in the city like rats......"

……

Oliver ignored these rumors and followed the established steps to improve the city's defenses. When he heard the news that the detainee's family had gathered in front of the town hall today, he remained calm, because after he entered the city, the intelligence service of Aristilas had quietly found him in Crimea, and he learned that during this time, the spies of Syracuse frequently came and went in Crimesa and colluded with some Crimean citizens, which made the situation in the city so chaotic.

At this moment, he said in a deep voice: "Lord Protesilaus, the woman who assassinated Lord Davers before is from Crimesa, Lord Davers is merciful, and for the sake of the stability of the alliance, he did not further expand the investigation. But today, it seems that the problem in Crimesa is very serious, and even with the military control, the situation in the city is still chaotic these days, and I am afraid that there are spies from Syracuse who are inciting trouble. If we don't take drastic measures, if the enemy attacks in a big way, we will defend the city, and there will be trouble in the city, and the city will be in danger! ”

Prottsilaus's face changed suddenly, and he asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Of course, he will be found out, and those who collaborate with the enemy and make trouble will be tried and executed in public!" Oliver's face was murderous, his palm was like a blade, and he swung it down hard.

Plotsilaus was shocked and became hesitant again: "It's too harsh to do this, they are all citizens of the Alliance!" ”

Oliver glanced at him with some contempt in his heart: the young Senator Amendora had always supported Davers when he was in the Senate, and he usually spoke quite positively. But when he took charge of political affairs on his own, he seemed to look forward and hesitate. So when Scombras was the chief executive of Crimesa, the political situation here was relatively stable; When it was his turn, not only was there an assassination, but the situation was almost out of control......

"Master Plotsi, you should know that you have served as a judge that our "Dionian Military Law" stipulates that 'those who flee seriously from the battle and rebels are beheaded.' The Laws of Ionia also stipulate that 'the maximum penalty for a traitor is the death penalty.' 'This is a time of war, and these people, in collusion with our enemies, who are trying to undermine our defense of Crimesa and even betray the alliance, should not be executed! Oliver snapped.

Teacher Plotsi thought for a moment and reluctantly said, "Okay, I agree with you. However, I hope that you will show the people hard evidence before they can be executed. ”

It's not simple. Oliver thought to himself, he immediately agreed, and after leaving the town hall, he quickly found the personnel of the intelligence service, and after their identification, led the soldiers to search the homes of more than a dozen suspicious people (all of them former citizens of Crimesa), and found a large number of silver coins and letters of the Four Drakmas, and even arrested two Syracuse spies hiding in their homes.

Prottesilaus had nothing more to say.

Olivers faced the people of the city in the square, showed evidence of the collaboration of a dozen citizens, beheaded them on the spot, and arrested and imprisoned the families of the troublemakers, and suddenly the chaos in Crimesa was greatly improved, and the people began to devote themselves to the defense of the city under Olivers' command......

…………………………………

In the past, the slave steward of Davers's mansion, Ribazzo, used to show his difference in status and demeanor from ordinary slaves with an unhurried pace, but today his legs spun like wheels, and in the blink of an eye he ran from the gate to the front yard to the backyard.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ......" he couldn't contain his excitement and knocked on the door.

The door was opened suddenly, and Asuna, who was watering the flowers, was carrying a amphora filled with water in one hand at the moment, and pulling the door with the other. Don't you know that Madame needs to recuperate during the time she just gave birth! You knocked on the door so loudly that the whole hill could hear it! If you wake up little Eunice and cry, and Madame blames her, I'll see what you do! ”

"I'm sorry, Asuna, I'm so excited! Because...... Because Master Davers...... Our master is going to be king! Ribazzo said excitedly.

"Really?!" Asuna covered her face with her hands in surprise, and the clay bottle fell to the ground and fell into several pieces, and she didn't realize it.

"What the patriarchs announced in front of more than a thousand people in the square, can there be a fake!" As soon as Ribazzo finished speaking, Asuna screamed and jumped, and ran behind like a madman with joy.

"Young people are really not stable enough!" Ribazzo muttered a few words, bent down, picked up the fragments of the vase, and showed a look of pity: "It's a pity, the best Athenian vase." ”

Asuna pushed open the bedroom door and heard Agnes' voice: "Arsuna, Eunice is still sleeping, you are too loud!" "Egnes has always been gentle, and speaking in such a tone already indicates that she is angry.
