The two former Greek leaders looked at each other for a moment, and sighed lonelyly at the same time.

At this moment, they heard the voices of people around them: "Hey, I tell you, I know that old man who is lame. He is Agsilous, the king of Sparta. I saw him with my own eyes when I went to Corinth to do business more than ten years ago!"

"I know the person who talks to him, too, the chief general of Athens, Kalistratus!"

"What's the matter! I've seen Ipa Mironda, the military commander of the Piosha Alliance! Why do you think the leaders of these Greek city-states suddenly came to us Phila?"

"You don't know yet?! We, Dionia, informed the heads of Greek city-states to come to Larissa to attend the formal establishment ceremony of the New Greek Union, and they came."

"We Dionya? Humph, Euclis, you traitor, Dionya is the invader, but you are willing to be their lackey!"

"Isn't it good to rule Thessali by Dionys? The taxes have been significantly reduced, but the port trade has been significantly enhanced, and our income has increased... Lazy dogs! Humph, aren't you enjoying such benefits too? You are so embarrassed to say this! If you have the ability, you leave Thessali, who was ruled by Dionys!"

"I'm from Philare, why should I leave!"

"I said Euclis, there is a little benefit to rule Thessali by Dionyya. You have not mentioned that the people in the south used to regard us as barbarians. Now, in a word from Dionyya, their noble generals must come here obediently. I think who dares to look down on us Thessali!"

"Yes, even King Dionia is also our Thessalians! Now the Peleus people are trembling. It is said that they will raise funds to build a luxurious cemetery for King Dionia's dead parents."

"That's right, even the Larissa people became arrogant when they talked to us. Who said that the Governor of Thessali appointed by Dionia was originally a Larissa, and he actually changed the center of Thessali to Larissa with his own selfish intentions!"

"That was not Governor of Thessali but was called the Chief Executive of the Regional of Thessali."

"I think it's no different, not much different from our Tagus, except that there is a king on it. Alas, why among the important officials of the Kingdom of Dionia, there is no one from our Philadelphia, otherwise we can take care of us Philadelphia."

...

The previous quarrel between Kalistratus and Agsilous attracted curious attention and heated discussion among the Philae people, completely ignoring the identities of these two people.

The two of them did not dare to stay for too long. Agsilous was supported by his entourage, and both speeded up and breathed a sigh of relief when they walked into the hotel.

The entourage went out to check in, and Kalistratus, who was resting beside him, couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that Davers was actually a Thessalian!"

"I have known this for a long time. The Spartan generals who led them back from Persia also proposed to the Elders Council to invite Davers to serve Sparta, but were rejected by the Elders Council. Now it feels regretful when they think about it!" Agsilous looked annoyed.

"Even if your elders' council agrees, I'm afraid Davers will refuse." Cabrias interrupted.

"Who knows, he was still young at that time..." Agsilous was still obsessed with it.

"No wonder the Dionians conquered Thessali so quickly!" Kalistratus said with a complicated expression: "It seems that the alliance ceremony was held in Larissa, and Dionians also showed the purpose of showing the Thessali people their strong strength."

"This is beyond doubt." Agsilous sighed. Although he could no longer lead the army to fight, the strategic vision trained by decades of battlefield conquests still exists: "Thessali has fertile plains, a large population, powerful cavalry and light infantry. Jason had already scared us before. Now if it was Dionys to control it, it would be like a huge rock pressing on our heads. Once there is any abnormal movement in each city-state, Dionys does not even need to send troops from Italy. Thessali's army can quickly go south and enter the heart of Greece through the hot spring pass... Alas, Dionys' strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the Greek city-states have no possibility of resisting Dionys!"

The three of them fell into silence, and finally Cabrias couldn't help but whisper: "And Persia..."

It was a sensitive topic, and Kalistratus immediately changed the topic: "King Agsilous--"

Agsilous interrupted him: "I forgot to remind you just now that Sparta has no king anymore, so I will call my name directly from now on."

Kalistratus was startled, looked at Kalirius, and immediately asked with concern: "Agsilous, can you tell me what Sparta is like now?"

Agsilous was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "I think you will know in a short while. The Spartans are all living hard like you Athenians..."

Can he tell these Athenians that after Dionia conquered Sparta, liberated Hellosh, and made Hellosh and the Piriassi become citizens of Novosian Sparta and separated the land that should have belonged to the Spartans!

He could tell these Athenians that when the Greek coalition entered the Peloponnese and the main force of the Dionian army was defending in northern Mesenia, the Spartan soldiers attempted to rebel. If he had not tried his best to dissuade them, would it be unimaginable to fight a huge gap in force with the gathering of Black Rous and Piriassi soldiers?

Can he tell these Athenians how desperate the Spartans were when the news of the Greek coalition defeated Athens surrendered to Sparta reached Sparta, and a few even chose to commit suicide. He and Xenophon were drunk and cried with their heads in their arms!

Can he tell these Athenians that this time, after receiving a notice from the Dionians, the Nova Spartan government sent not only him, but also three messengers of Black Rous and Piriasi. He was ashamed to join the two and set out later to come to Phile!

No!...Agesilous only has one belief in his heart: as long as he is still alive for one day, he will always shoulder the burden of the survival of the Spartans silently!

Kalistratus and Cabrias looked at the old Agsilous and were helped upstairs by their entourage, and a feeling of unspeakable heaviness appeared in their hearts...

The next day, after the Athenian emissaries had breakfast, they left the city with Agsilaus and headed to Larissa. On the way, they met many emissaries from Greek city-states, including the Thebes whom they hated.

Now these envoys no longer have to look at the eyes of the former powerful Athens and Sparta. They walked together according to the interests of their respective city-states.

For example: the Messenger of the City-State Fokis and the Message of the Lochris, the Message of the Thebes and the other Message of the Piosha, the Message of the Essay, the Message of the Achaean city-State, the Message of the Mantinian city-State, and the Message of the Message of the Nova Sparta, as well as the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Message of the Mess

They were either happy, excited, silent, or worried, but the most frightened should be the messengers of the Arcadia Alliance. They first formed an alliance with Dionya and then chose to betray them. There were rumors that "Dionia hated the betrayers the most and would give them severe punishments", so no messengers from other city-states were willing to approach these unlucky guys.

Although the envoys of various city-states gathered together in the east and gathered together in the west, a long team formed on the road to Larissa, which was undoubtedly quite eye-catching, and made the news that many Thessalis who witnessed this scene spread the news that "Dionia ordered Greek city-states to come to Larissa to discuss matters."

The messengers also passed through the new military camp that Dionia was building, and saw more than 20,000 Dionian troops training, and were secretly alert in their hearts.

After Athens surrendered, more than 100,000 troops and thousands of warships of Dionia returned to the Western Mediterranean, leaving only three legions to station in Thessali. One was to continue to stabilize the order of Thessali and strengthen Dionia's rule here, and the other was to prevent the invasion of surrounding indigenous forces. Of course, in the planning of the Ministry of Military Affairs, these regular legions will be replaced by the reorganized border legions in a few months. With the development of military training in the Thessali region and the establishment of its own legions, Thessali has sufficient defense capabilities.

The military camps seen by the Greek envoys were only one of the constructions of the Dionys soldiers in Thessali. After all, Thessali is vast, and one barracks cannot meet the requirements for military training or security defense. Therefore, in the southern plains of Thessali, near the edge mountains, another barracks are also being built, so that the southern towns such as Fasarus and Akea and the citizens of Lamian on the south side of the mountain can participate in military training in time. The military camp originally established by Jason outside the city of Phila is in the northeast corner of the territory of Thessali, which is too remote and abandoned.

The messengers entered Larissa one after another and conducted diplomatic mediation. The ones responsible for this alliance ceremony were Prince Crotokataks of Dionia and Hilos, the Chief Executive of Thessali Region. They both showed a positive attitude, met them, and listened carefully to their opinions.

Note: In history, the rebellion in Asia Minor was a major event in the late period of Artaxerxes' rule. The rebellion lasted for several years and greatly weakened the national strength of Persia. When the rebellion occurred, the Persian army was attacking Egypt, which also led to the failure of Artaxerxes' plan to recover Egypt again. At that time, in order to resist the attack of Persian army, Egyptian pharaoh hired many Greek soldiers, and Agsilus, who had experienced the failure of the Battle of Luketra, was in order to

He prepared funds, formed an army, and fought against the already powerful Thebes. In his seventies, he accepted Egypt's invitation and became the main leader of the Greek mercenaries. However, because he was not valued, he turned to support the rebels in Egypt and drove away the original Pharaoh. Due to the internal struggle of Egypt, Egypt's plan to counter Persia and support the rebellion in Asia Minor was cancelled, which also gave Artaxerxes a buffer, and the rebellion in Asia Minor was finally put down.
