Chapter 117 Thunderbolt Means
When the war started, Castro took the initiative to send troops to participate in the battle, but was politely rejected by the Dionia Senate. Because Dionia's troops were strong enough and Castro's soldiers were too small, it would affect the overall unified command of the army, so it only accepted Castro's warships and military rations. Now, Dionia, who was short of troops, had to ask Castro for help. No matter how small the mosquito's legs were, it was still flesh.
"If the Syracuses did not land in full to attack us, our troops in Turiyi would be sufficient." Cappus comforted them: "There are still 500 cavalry in Turiyi, and Secrean's naval fleet cannot go on expedition for the time being. Some sailors can be drawn as light infantry. Of course, it is better to be able to come from Castron to enrich the army!"
Kunogorata walked forward, saluted Caps solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Sir Caps, I will leave Turiyi's safety to you."
As soon as Kunogorata finished speaking, Cornerus and other veterans also wanted to salute Capps. This was the first time that traditional city-state veterans saluted Capps, who was born in mercenaries, solemnly made him feel pressured. He returned a powerful military salute and then strode out of the venue.
The worried elders looked at me, I looked at you, and their last eyes looked at the empty seat in the front row of the center of the venue. Before, they were still a little confused about Davers becoming the king. At this moment, this emotion had disappeared without a trace. There was only one thought in their hearts: Davers, when will you come back to save Dionia?!

Syracuse Navy Commander Leptines did not land on the coast of Turiyi in large quantities, and he knew very well that Turiyi was not Trina, it had enough personnel, and with his simple equipment, it would be impossible for him to take down the city with high walls and thick defenses. He did not intend to send warships into the Krati River, because the Syracuse people did not occupy one of the river banks of Krati, and Turiyi City had iron chains. Once his warships were blocked and trapped in the river, they would easily be attacked by enemy rockets and burned to ashes...
Of course, Leptines was reluctant to put his warships and sailors with rich experience in boat handling in such a dangerous situation. He only sent a very small number of sailors to attack the outskirts of Turii in order to force the Deonian fleet, who was hiding in the Krati River, to come out to fight to the decisive battle.
Compared with Leptines's caution, Syracuse's mercenary cavalry was very arrogant and had no taboos. Although Crimesa had called on the people to hide in the city due to the oppression of the enemy army, there were still a few who were slaughtered by alien cavalry because of the failure to relocate into the city in time, especially the Celtics used spears to pick the heads of the Dionian people they cut. Among them, there were even women and children who passed by the city of Crimesa with their might, which made the soldiers of the Sixth Army stationed at the city angry, but were unable to attack due to military orders...
Chief Executive of Crimesa Protesilous was restless in the city hall. When he saw Olivers, the commander of the Sixth Legion, coming in, he hurriedly met: "Sir Olivers, you are back!"
Oliver, who had just inspected the port defense, saw Plotsilous's face full of anxiety, couldn't help but smile easily and said, "Is the enemy here to attack us?" Of course, this is impossible. He had just finished inspecting, how could he not know.
"What's going on? You still have the heart to joke!" Plotsilous said anxiously.
"What's wrong?!" Olivers asked seriously with a smile.
"The families of the people you detained came to the city hall again for trouble. This time they gathered hundreds of people and threatened, 'If their relatives are not released, they will set up a tent in front of the city hall and live for a long time!'" Mr. Protsi said with concern. If the people make such a fuss, his face as the chief executive will be ruined, and it will become a big joke for the entire Senate in the future.
"They dare!" Olivers sneered. You must know that when he led the Sixth Legion to Crimesa, he was blocked outside the city gate by a group of protesters. He detained him on the grounds of attacking the army and conspiring to rebel, so that the army was able to enter the city.
These days he was busy laying out the defenses of the whole city. From then on, some rumors began to spread in the city: "So many soldiers of the Sixth Legion settled in the city, which would only consume a lot of our stockpile and water. When the Syracuse people siege the city, we Crimesa people were the first to starve to death..."
"Now the Syracuses are burning our fields outside the city and slaughtering our relatives. The soldiers of the Sixth Legion should go out of the city to drive them away and protect our relatives and property, rather than hiding in the city as timid as a rat..."
...
Oliver ignored these rumors and improved the city defense in accordance with the established steps. He still remained calm when he learned that the detainee's family gathered people to make a fuss in front of the city hall today, because after he entered the city, the intelligence department of Aristillas had quietly found him. He realized that during this period, the spies in Syracuse frequently entered and exited Crimesa and colluded with some Crimesa citizens, which made the situation in the city so chaotic.
At this moment, he said in a deep voice: "Master Protesilous, the woman who assassinated Davers before was from Crimesa. Davers was kind and did not further expand the investigation for the sake of the stability of the alliance. But today it seems that Crimesa's problem is very serious. Even if military control is adopted, the situation in the city will remain chaotic these days. I am afraid that there are spies from Syracuse who are inciting trouble. If strict measures are not taken, once the enemy attacks, we will defend the city at the top of the city, and there will be trouble in the city, and this city will be dangerous!"
Protesilous's face changed suddenly and he asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Of course, he was found out, colluded with the enemy, and those who caused trouble would be executed in public!" Olivers looked murderous, his palm was like a blade, and he waved his force down.
Protesilous was shocked and hesitated again: "It's too rigorous to do this. They are all citizens of the alliance!"
Orivers glanced at him and felt a little despised: the young Amendorala Senate always supported Davers when he was in the Senate, and he was very active in his speeches. But when he was alone and dealing with political affairs, he seemed to be hesitant and hesitant. Therefore, when Scomblas was the Chief Executive of Crimesa, the political situation here was relatively stable; when it was his turn, not only was the assassination incident, but the situation was almost out of control...
"Mr. Protesi, you should be clear that our "Dionia Second Law" stipulates that 'Those who escape severely at the last minute will be beheaded by the rebels.' The "Dionia Law" also stipulates that 'the highest punishment for traitors is the death penalty.' Now is the war period, and shouldn't these people who collude with our enemies and attempt to destroy our defense against Crimesa and even betray the alliance? Shouldn't they be sentenced to death!" Olivers shouted loudly.
Teacher Protesi thought for a while and said reluctantly: "Okay, I agree with you. However, I hope you can show the people conclusive evidence to execute them."
This was not simple. Olivers thought to himself, and he immediately agreed. After leaving the city hall, he quickly found personnel from the intelligence department. After their identification, he led the soldiers to search the residences of more than a dozen suspicious people (all citizens of the former Crimesa), found a large number of four drakma silver coins and letters, and even caught two Syracuses hiding in his home.
Protesilous had nothing to say anymore.
Olivers faced the people of the city in the square, showing evidence of collusion with more than a dozen citizens, executed them on the spot, and arrested and detained their families. Suddenly, the chaos in Crimesa was greatly improved, and the people began to devote themselves to the city's defense under Olivers' command...

Ribazo, the slave manager of Davers's mansion, used to show his identity and demeanor in the front yard with a slow pace, but today his legs were spinning like wheels, and in the blink of an eye he rushed through the front yard and came to the front yard in front of the back yard.
"Dong!Dong!Dong!..." He couldn't help knocking on the door with excitement.
The door was suddenly opened. Asuna, who was watering the flowers, was holding a pottery bottle filled with water in one hand and holding the door with the other. When she saw that it was Ribazo, she had a bad face, and cursed brows with her eyebrows. "Uncle Ribazo, you are still a supervisor! Don't you know that your wife needs to rest well during the time she gave birth! You knocked on the door so loudly that everyone on the hill could hear it! If you wake up Little Eunice and cry, the lady blamed her, I see what you should do!"
"Sorry, Asuna, I'm so excited! Because... because Lord Davers... our master is going to be the king!" Ribazo said excitedly.
"Really?!" Asuna covered her face with her hands in surprise, and the pottery bottle fell to the ground and fell into several pieces, and she was unaware of it.
"The elders announced in the square that more than a thousand people can still be fake!" As soon as Ribazo finished speaking, Asuna shouted and jumped, running back like a madman.
"Young people are really not steady enough!" Ribazo muttered a few words, bent down, picked up the pieces of the pottery bottle, and showed a look of regret: "What a pity, the best Athenian pottery bottle."
Asuna pushed open the bedroom door and heard Agenis's voice: "Asuna, Eunice is still sleeping, you are too loud!" Agenis has always been gentle to others, and speaking in such a tone already means that she is angry.
