Before the Dionian army could completely encircle Jerusalem, the high priest of Judaism took the initiative to go to the Dionian camp and humbly expressed to King Davers that "the Jews are willing to submit to the Dionian kingdom".

Davers was more cautious about this special race in the Mediterranean world that believed in one God, and he quickly accepted the surrender of the Jews, and also made a promise and admonition: "As long as the Jews are loyal to the Holy Kingdom of Dionia, then the Jews may have the right to live according to their own laws and religions, but at the same time the Jews must not affect the rights of other races under the rule of the Holy Kingdom of Dioonia because of their own customs, otherwise Dionya will intervene!" ”

The next day King Davers was greeted at the gates of Jerusalem by the high priest in the scarlet robe and the thousands of Jerusalemites he led.

The crowd cheered, and the Jewish priests bound Nehemiah, the governor of Canaan appointed by Artaxerxes and who had worked hard for the reconstruction of Canaan, and his subordinates, and put them at his disposal.

Instead of severely punishing the Persian governor, who was also a Jew, Davos took him back to the camp and kindly asked Nehemiah that if he was willing to serve the kingdom of Dionia, he would be sent to govern Canaan when he was familiar with the Dionian system and legal system.

Nehemiah apparently inherited the Jew personality of the Jews, and he fell to his knees before Davers as he would not only survive by surrendering to Dionia, but also fulfill his long-cherished wish to rebuild Jerusalem and seek revenge on the Jewish priests who had betrayed him.

With Nehemiah as a guide, the Dionian army quickly conquered the entire Canaanite region, and then under his leadership, they successfully invaded the Samaritan region east of Jerusalem, quickly captured many towns, and also captured the governor of the region, Samballat, which was also a great relief to Nehemiah.

The conquest of Canaan and Samaria by Ionia made Gaza a Persian enclave of seclusion.

The Persian defenders panicked, desperate to leave this dangerous place and return to their homeland.

At the urging of the soldiers, the defending generals had to leave Gaza City quietly with plenty of water and drink and march northeast in an attempt to bypass the area occupied by the Dionian army and pass the trade route on the edge of the desert to Damascus in the east.

Unbeknownst to him, the Dionian army had been keeping a close eye on the movements of Gaza City, and soon discovered the attempts of the Persian defenders.

On the second day, the four Dionian cavalry legions and the Numibian hussar corps caught up with the Persian defenders on the march, and the hussar legions harassed with bows and javelins, and the cavalry corps launched a charge, quickly crushing the Gaza defenders, and Gaza City fell into the hands of the Dionian army.

After completely stabilizing the rear, Davers led his army north, and soon entered the Phoenician area.

It can be said that the first enemy of Dionya in these regions attached to Persia was the Phoenicians, when the Phoenicians made the decision to send a fleet to support Carthage, I am afraid that one day the Dionian army would come to the city, and the first city that the Dionian army wanted to attack was the advocate of the year - Tyre.

After Phoenicia surrendered to Persia, successive Persian kings promised to allow the Phoenicians to live in their original ways, as long as the Phoenicia paid a certain share of gold and silver each year, and their fleet was at their disposal.

It is true that the Persian kings rarely intervened in the administrative affairs of the Phoenicians for a hundred years, and one of the important reasons was that the high mountains of Lebanon separated Phoenicia from inland Persia, and the land transportation was very inconvenient, and this terrain also had a great impact on Phoenicia, they did not have vast and fertile arable land, could not support a larger population, and could only devote all their efforts to the sea, so as to become rich and prosperous because of the sea trade. However, due to the conflicting commercial interests of the various Phoenician city-states, although they established a coalition of Phoenician city-states early on, they were never able to form a unified state.

Therefore, the king of Persia was more satisfied with the fragmented state of the Phoenician city-states, and the Phoenician city-states also took advantage of the favor that Persia had always given them, and made a lot of profits in trade with the interior, so they were more loyal to Persia.

Tyre was the most powerful of the Phoenician city-states, and its cities were built on an island about eight miles off the coast, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the history of the previous life, the Macedonian king Alexander, who had successfully attacked Persia, suffered a setback here, and it took more than half a year. It was precisely because of this memory that Davers was very cautious when he led his army to approach Tyre, and was ready to lead his generals to carefully survey the defense of Tyre in a warship, and then consider whether to attack the city directly or force it to surrender through a long siege first.

But before he could set out, Tyre's messenger arrived first.

The messenger of Tyre was still an acquaintance, the former Carthaginian Sufi Tepanrako.

After meeting Davers, not only did he not reveal the arrogance and hostility towards Dionya that he once had, but even some flattery, so the atmosphere of the whole meeting was relatively relaxed.

Davers asked about the current situation of Hanno and the others, and Typanlaco's expression became a little heavy.

It turned out that after Dionya forced Carthage to expel the Hannonites, most of the people chose to settle in their former mother state Tyre, and Tyre accepted them, but the power of Hanno and others in Carthage could not be recreated, and the high-level officials of Tyre also deliberately suppressed them, making it difficult for them to gain some power. The people of Tyre, who once admired Carthage's wealth and power, now often despise these lost dogs, and although they have no worries about food and clothing (Ocleton, who took refuge in Dionia, out of guilt, persuaded the Carthaginian parliament to allow them to take a part of their property), their lives were more depressing, especially Hanno, who could not bear such loneliness at all, and died of depression within a few years.

However, after Dionya declared war on Persia, the Tyre higher-ups began to pay attention to Typanrako, not only often asking them about Dionia, but also electing Typanrako and several others as councillors to discuss how to deal with the attack of the Dionian army in Parliament.

The reason why he sent Typanrako as an emissary was also because he was familiar with the Dionians, and was more easily accepted by the Dionians.

The purpose of Tepanlako's mission was to surrender to Dioonia on behalf of Tyre.

Davers did not appear happy about this good news, but was a little cautious, because in his memory when Alexander led his army to Tyre, the Tyrs also took the initiative to give in, but when Alexandria proposed to go to the temple of Melke in the city of Tyre to worship Hercules, Tyre immediately refused, it turned out that they had just chosen to surrender in the face of military pressure, and wanted to wait for Alexander's army to have a final battle with the Persian army before making a final choice.

So Davers made the same request, and Typanrako said that he could not make a decision and that he needed to consult the Tyre Council before replying.

As soon as he left by boat, Davers reminded the generals to prepare for battle and not to be fooled by the surrender of the Tyrians.

In the afternoon, Tepanrako returned to the Dionian camp and made a sincere message to Davers that the Council of Tyre was ready to welcome King Davers.

Davers did not refuse, and on the second day, he led an elite army to the island, and the people of Tyre greeted him respectfully.

Hercules was one of the most popular gods in the sacred kingdom of Dionia, so Davers worshipped his idol here in a more solemn manner, and the people of Tyre were always very peaceful throughout the sacrifice, which made Davers believe in their sincerity.

Based on what he observed in Tyre, Davers analyzed the reasons why the Tyre people made the opposite choice from the history of their previous lives.

That's because although Alexander in the previous history won a series of battles in land battles, his navy was very weak, and even disbanded his already weak fleet at one time, so that the Persian fleet harassed the rear of his conquest many times, causing him a lot of trouble, Alexander could only conquer the Persian towns on the Mediterranean coast in turn to finally gain dominance of the Eastern Mediterranean, which was no way. Because of this, the Tyrians bullied him for not having a navy, and it was difficult for them to conquer their city in the middle of the sea, so they dared to delay time by deceiving him. In fact, Alexandria, due to the lack of a navy, did encounter great difficulties in attacking Tyre, and even if the surrender of Cyprus later provided him with a fleet, it took him more than seven months to capture Tyre, which was time-consuming and laborious.

However, the Holy Kingdom of Dionya was different, it had a strong navy in its own right, and defeated the Persian fleet twice at Samos and Cyprus, not only establishing absolute superiority at sea, but also completely controlling the Near Eastern Seas. Not long ago, the troops that landed in Cyprus have conquered the whole island, and the First and Second Fleets have been stationed in the Cypriot military port, which is very close to Tyre, and can blockade and attack Tyre at any time, posing a great threat to the city of Tyre.

In addition, although the Macedonian army in the previous life was very strong, its number was only 4-50,000 people, which was too different compared to the Persian army, so the Tyrs were not confident that Macedonia would eventually defeat Persia.
