But the Samos never expected that under the orders of Seclien and other fleet commanders, about 80% of the crow warships in the Dionian fleet docked on the nearby beach. The fleet infantry came down from the warships and gathered nearly 15,000 people to surround the city of Samos.

The Samos on the top of the city were shocked to see the densely packed and fully equipped soldiers outside the city.

At this time, Seclien sent a messenger to enter Samos City and threatened the Samos in a fierce manner at the council: surrender to Dionia immediately. If they dared to let go of the Asia Minor fleet, even if they surrender, they would be punished!

The threat of the messenger scared Samos's MPs, reminding them of the rumors that Dionia destroyed Tega in the Greek War, so they did not dare to fight back against the arrogance of the messenger. Instead, they politely stated that the Council needs time to discuss this important issue before making a decision.

After learning from the messenger about the performance of the Summers Council, Seclian also consulted with Midolades and Stefakas, and reached an agreement: he led the First Fleet and the 15,000 Fleet infantry to continue to surround Samos; and the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet immediately headed north to Milia.

Before nightfall, Seclian even made a decision: tow all warships on the beach and only sent the fasteners to stare at the port of Samos in turn.

This was a very bold decision. The Asia Minor fleet could take advantage of this favorable opportunity to rush out of the port and quickly escape back to Halicarnasus.

In fact, the generals of the Asia Minor Fleet did make a request to Samos to leave the port, but the Samos Council was still arguing about the daytime request of the Dionian messenger and did not reach a unified opinion. How dare I let the Asia Minor Fleet leave and bring disaster to itself, so I found various reasons to shirk it. The generals of the Asia Minor Fleet themselves also had different opinions and did not have strong demands to leave immediately at night, so it was temporarily left alone.

Early in the morning of the second day, Secrean led the First Fleet warships to re-block the port, and the troops on the shore cut down trees on the island under the leadership of Sesefidorus, the commander of the First Fleet infantry, and some were used to build camps and some were used to build siege equipment, and pose as if they were ready to siege at any time.

The Samos militia who was in the city bidding camp felt even more uneasy when they saw all this.

The generals of the Asia Minor fleet were also uneasy, who were once again making a request to leave the port quietly at night, and their attitude was very firm.

Therefore, after the Samos wanted to be perfunctory but it didn't work, their attitude became tough: they refused to open the water gate of the port and let them go.

The two sides almost clashed.

Compared with the riots that almost occurred in the city, Seclian outside the city was also not easy, because the rations carried by the crew members had already eaten, and the dinner was the fish that the fleet crew had spent a lot of effort fishing offshore and fish soup that they cooked from the sea these two days, barely satisfying their hunger.

But Secrean was full of confidence in victory. He not only trusted Midolades and Stefacas, but also fought side by side with Leoticides. He firmly believed that the Greek coalition commander would seize this opportunity to win and come to help in time.

For this, he spent the whole evening visiting various tents, encouraging the crew and fleet infantry to persevere.

Early in the morning of the third day, the hungry crew of the Dionian crew still drove warships to sea to block the port of Samos. If the Asian Minor fleet rushed out of the port at this time and fought to the death with the First Fleet of Dionian, the outcome was still unknown, but the Asian Minor fleet was afraid that the number of enemy warships was greater than that of themselves, so they chose to continue to huddle in the port.

The Samos' delay was more like handing over their destiny to the gods, and of course they hoped that Persian reinforcements would arrive in time.

But at noon, a huge fleet sailed from the north, completely letting the Samos' expectations go unsuccessful.

Leoticides not only sent a fleet of food transporters, but also allowed the second, third and fourth fleets to carry the entire tenth legion. For a time, thousands of warships gathered in the waters near Samos, not only shocked the Asia Minor fleet in Samos Port, but also showed its powerful naval strength to coastal city-states such as Ephesus.

8,000 soldiers of the 10th Legion and the remaining infantry of the fleet all boarded Samos. Nearly 30,000 Dionian soldiers were scattered across most of the mountains and fields of Samos, not to mention the amazing crossbows.

The Samos were completely desperate. He had never faced such a powerful enemy since its establishment. Athens, which had attacked it, could not compare with it. Therefore, before the soldiers of the Dionians began to attack the city, they quickly made a decision - to surrender.

The generals of the Asian Minor fleet at the port learned that the Samos had betrayed Persia, and immediately led the crew to launch a riot at the port, trying to seize the water gate, so that the fleet warships could rush out of the port and make the final desperate attempt, which was better than being captured directly without fighting.

Unexpectedly, after the self-knowledge of Samos surrendered to the Dionys army, they immediately invited the Dionys army into the city and asked them to personally deal with the tens of thousands of Asian Minor fleet crews entrenched in the port.

Not long after, the riot launched by the Asia Minor fleet was crushed by the 10th Army of Dionia that arrived quickly. At this point, the Dionian army and fleet suffered almost no losses and captured the entire Persian Asia Minor fleet. This was an exciting victory. It not only meant that Dionia temporarily gained maritime dominance in the western part of Asia Minor, but also changed Persia and Dionia, which were originally of roughly equivalent naval strength, and Dionia and its allies began to gain an advantage.

The demise of the Persian Asia Minor fleet and Samos surrender had a great impact on the Greek states in western Asia Minor. They suddenly realized that they had lost their naval protection, and most of the Persian garrisons in various regions went to Phrygia. The amazingly powerful Dionian fleet could land and attack any western coastal city-state. So Ephesus, Milidu, Kaisus... and even many other Greek city-states in Asia Minor changed their previous distant attitude and sent envoys to express their friendship to the Dionian fleet and the landing Dionian army. Some even asked them to release some of the crew members of the Asia Minor fleet. After all, most of the crew members of the Asia Minor fleet came from these Greek city-states.

Leoticides led the generals of the coalition forces, including Seclian and several commanders of the Dionian fleet, as well as the Athenian naval general Cabrias, held a military meeting in Irion. After discussion, it was decided that as long as the Greek city-state of Asia Minor regularly provided a certain amount of military rations to the Dionian and the Greek naval and land coalition forces, and opened ports to the coalition fleet, then Dionia and its allies would promise not to attack these cities and release crew members from these cities...

In the notice given to the Greek city-state envoys of Asia Minor, there was no requirement to surrender to Dionia, because Leoticides, Seclien and others knew very well that only by completely defeating the land army of Asia Minor, these fence-bearing plants could completely turn towards Dionia!

In the early morning of early January 364 BC (30 years of the Kingdom of Dionia), the people of Turiine, who had just finished the New Year, got up early and cleaned the road in front of their houses. After breakfast, some people flocked to the river port pier in the city, and some people were waiting next to the road near the houses. When it was bright, the road from the foot of the Hill of Kings to the inner city pier was already full of men, women, and young.

Just as everyone was looking forward, cheers of "Come! Come!" came from the front, and the people were excited. Everyone pushed and squeezed each other. If it weren't for the soldiers on the road to maintain order, it would probably cause a lot of riots.

After a while, a group of palace cavalry appeared in the middle of the road. They were wearing black breastplates, purple cloaks, red crowned helmets, and majestic horses. They were all majestic and marched forward in an orderly line.

After them, Davers, King of Dionia, appeared before the people. He wore a golden crown and a gorgeous armor engraved with Hades' waving double forks. He was wearing a thick wool burqa outside and rode a black horse. Although his hair was gray, his back was still straight, and his eyes were sharp, and he looked energetic.

Side by side with him is his eldest son, the current kingdom consul, Crotokataks. His achievements in Turiyi in recent years are obvious to all, especially when the Dionian Games were successfully held last year, his governing ability has been fully recognized by the Turiyi people. This is why they did not have much concern when they learned that King Davers was going to personally conquer Persia, a great power in the East.

Following the two was King Davers' second son Apox, who was already a famous scholar in the kingdom and was promoted to the vice president of the School of Mathematics of the Dionia Academy last year. He was famous for his wisdom among the people of Turiyi, but because he stayed in the academy for a long time, it seemed mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people.

Next to Apox is King Davers' third son Antbres. Among Davers's children, he is the most popular among the people of Turiyi, not only because he is a rugby star, but also because he is an active personality and willing to contact civilians, and he is very down-to-earth.

Next to Antbres is King Davers' second daughter Eunice (although Cynthia is only Davers' adopted daughter, and she is gentle and virtuous, and she is still recognized by the people of Turiyi, who regards her as Davers' eldest daughter). As a woman, she should have traveled in a carriage like her mother and sisters, but she insists on riding a horse and loves sports competitions. She has a similar personality to men and is also loved by the people of Turiyi, especially for the merchants of Turiyi. She has taken over the Cristoya Chamber of Commerce in recent years and is sought after by them with her capable and decisive style.
