"You mean that the Black Rous in our territory will rebel if it is affected?!" Achidams' expression became solemn: There is no precedent for the Black Rous rebellion. This is how the Second and Third American Wars happened.

"Father, after you go back, you should propose to the Council to strengthen the control of Hei Rox and implement several more hunts if necessary to achieve the purpose of deterrence."

Achidames said it as easy as slaughtering cattle and sheep about the random massacre of Black Rous. Agesilous didn't feel anything unusual, but nodded in agreement.

Agsilous continued: "On the way to the dock, I also saw the Dionians transporting supplies into the camp. Not only were there a large number of carts and laborers, but some soldiers, team officials and craftsmen. They were mainly responsible for escorting, commanding and maintaining. Although the entire transportation team was large, it was very orderly and there was no chaos... I had heard that the Dionian army was specially equipped with a transport team, and this time it was seen with my own eyes-"

"Father, it's nothing great to have a special transport team in the Dionian army. Didn't the Persians have it too? We have been defeated many times! (The soldiers usually brought their own rations in the Greeks. During the war, if the rations are almost finished, they either plundered the local food or the commander came forward to open a market near the station. Merchants from all over the country would bring food and supplies to facilitate the soldiers to purchase)"

Archdams said disapprovingly: "Look at what my father said, it is a hospital and a transportation team. I think the Dionians have provided so well with the logistics of the army. Can their soldiers still endure hardships? You must know that the victory of the war will eventually be known on the battlefield. Only after hard training and the army that is not afraid of death can achieve the final victory!"

Achidams was obviously confident about the combat effectiveness of the Spartan warriors. Agsilous had to say in a deep voice: "I say this to tell you that the Dionian army is different from the other Greek city-state troops we encountered before. We must be cautious. Sparta can no longer withstand a failure... cough... cough..."

"You are right, I understand. You have just been injured. You need to have a good rest and don't talk more." Archdy Dams reminded him a few times, turned around and walked towards the bow of the boat.

Agsilous sighed helplessly. He saw his son's perfunctory behavior. This is why he is in his 60s, weak and sickly, and has to lead the army to fight everywhere. He is not very relieved about Achidams!

He looked at the coast in the distance, thinking about the situation he saw in the military camp of Dionia before, and the worry on his face became even heavier, and the thought in his heart arose again: If Leoticides could really return to Sparta...

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Mukru returned to the camp and entered the military tent. He found Leoticides still sitting in the main seat, motionless, as if he was thinking about something.

He walked forward and whispered: "Mr. Commander, that... Spartan envoy is fine after the treatment of the medical camp, he has left on a boat..."

Leoticidus seemed to have come to his senses at this moment, looked up at him, and asked, "What did you say?"

Mukru coughed lightly: "The Spartan messenger has been sent away."

Leoticides nodded, without saying anything, and was immersed in thought.

Although Leoticides often fell into deep thought during the war, Mukru, who had worked with him for many years, still felt that he was a little wrong at this moment, not as uncomfortable as before. He remembered that he had joked about Leoticides about this matter, saying that Leoticides was always thinking about how to defeat the enemy, but this momentum affected the people around him.

Could it be that now he was thinking...his uncle... just as Mukrufu was thinking, Leoticids' voice sounded in his ears: "Get me paper and pen."

After Mukru hurriedly brought it, he asked, "What order should be issued?"

Leoticidus looked at him, and his calm tone became more firm: "There is no order, I want to write a letter to His Majesty."

Mukru, who was a little uneasy, did not ask much and walked out of the tent.

The papyrus was already spread on the table, and the pen was stained with ink, but Leoticidus had not started writing for a long time. In his mind, the scene of his mother's suicide and Agesilous kneeling in front of him alternately appeared. It can be said that Agesilous's visit caused him a lot of trouble, not because he completely believed Agesilous's words, but Agesilous's kneeling and admitting his mistake and the sword that cut Agesilous had already made his hatred disappear for many years. At this moment, his heart was empty, and the scenes of life in Sparta were also churned out from the depths of memory...

In fact, in Dionia for so many years, Leoticides has always maintained his pride as a Spartan warrior. Now this pride suddenly turns into a complex attachment to his hometown, which makes him lose the desire to continue fighting here. He also knows that after this incident, other generals and soldiers have become more suspicious of him. In such a state, it will probably be very bad to lead such an army to fight!

Leoticids took a deep breath and resolutely lifted the pen.

After the messenger of the Arcadia Alliance asked Athens for help but was rejected, he had to turn to Thebes. At this moment, the news that "Dionian army captured Mesenia" spread throughout the Peloponnese and quickly spread to Central and Northern Greece.

Jason, who had been paying close attention to the situation in the south, soon learned the news and was very surprised. He had heard of the newly emerging Western Mediterranean forces in the past, but he was not deeply moved. After all, the country had little influence on Greece, but this time it dared to declare war directly on Sparta and gained an advantage, making him realize that the strength of Dionia is probably not a false statement, so he suspended the military operations he was preparing to carry out and decided to observe the development of the situation in the south first and then make plans.

He sent many spies to the Peloponnese Peninsula to find out the news, and tried his best to collect information about the Kingdom of Dionia. He spent most of his time at Phila's mansion and his subordinates analyzing the situation in the south based on the constant information obtained, thus reducing the number of inspections in the military camp outside the city, so he safely spent the day he was assassinated and killed in the previous life in the city.

For the government of Thebes, the request of the Arcadia Alliance messengers made them embarrassed. Whether it was following the practice of "the enemy of the enemy is a friend" or from a strategic perspective, the establishment of the Arcadia Alliance was a great thing for Thebes. It greatly weakened the power of Sparta. As long as Thebes and the Arcadia Alliance could unite, they could completely suppress Sparta in Peloponnese.

However, Thessali in the north was preparing for war, and news about "Jiasson was going to lead a large army south" was rampant. Even Thebes, who had an alliance with Jasson, felt great pressure and sent an envoy to Philip to find out what was going on, but Jasson was always perfunctory and did not give a clear reply, which made Thebes more alert.

Even Peropidas and Ipa Mironda insisted on sending reinforcements to support the Arcadia League, but was strongly opposed by the rest of the Council. Their reasons were very good: the citizens of Thebes who had suffered a pain in the city without ensuring the safety of Thebes would never agree to join the army and leave the Piosha area, and other Piosha city-states that were allied with Thebes would not agree to send reinforcements for the same reason.

In his previous life, Thebes hesitated about this matter for a long time. It was not until Jason was assassinated and the civil strife in Thessali that Thebes decided to reinforce the Arcadia alliance. In this life, Jason was safe and sound. Although the military mobilization in Thessali stopped, the pressure was always there. How could Thebes dare to be careless?

But when the news of "Dionia conquering Mesenia" came, the people of Thebes were overjoyed and deeply felt that compared to the ally in the north, the newly-aligned kingdom in the west, it was undoubtedly more reliable.

After the Battle of Liuquetra, the Thebes, led by Ipa Mironda, wanted to take advantage of this victory to expand the outcome, but due to Jason's obstruction and other reasons, he had no choice but to sign a ceasefire contract with Sparta. He was actually very unwilling to accept it. Now Dionia directly gave Sparta's lair a heavy blow, and the Spartans would inevitably turn the center of the attack to the Dionian army. The military pressure on the south and north sides of Thebes suddenly faced was greatly alleviated. The excited Thebes decided to send envoys to Mesenia to condolence to the Dionian army.

Ipa Mironda volunteered.

At the same time, Peropidas solemnly told the Arcadia Alliance envoy: Although Thebes could not support the Arcadia Alliance for the time being, Thebes sympathized with the Arcadia situation, was willing to recognize the Arcadia Alliance, and were willing to form an alliance with it. He would also send an envoy to Mesenia to persuade the alliance Dionia to assist the Arcadia Alliance to repel the upcoming invasion of the Spartans.

The Arcadia's messenger group was excited when they heard this, and the entire messenger group was immediately divided into two parts: some stayed in Thebes to discuss alliance matters, and some followed the Thebes messenger group south to Mesenia.

"I really didn't expect that Prosous was actually the Prince of Sparta!" In the palace chamber, Davers patted a stack of letters, all from the army far away in Mesenia, secret reports from intelligence departments, letters from commanders such as Olivers, and letters from military judges... The top letter was written by Leoticides himself.
