"We might as well build another one..." Phoebedas suggested.

Agsilous's eyes lit up, and then he thought of something. He raised his head and smiled at Phoebidas with a self-deprecating smile: "Now we support Dionysius or support the Syracuse rebels, we can no longer decide whether to support Dionysius or the Syracuse rebels."

Phoebedas was stunned and said subconsciously: "Who will decide?" Then he understood.

Agsilous looked at him and said with a serious expression: "Dioniafu defeated Syracuse and caused Syracuse to suffer such heavy losses. It has become the leader of Great Greece and eastern Sicily...

Moreover, as you said just now, Dionia now has at least 50,000 troops, and the military organization they call the "legions" is very powerful, and they also have a huge fleet that can defeat the Syracuse Navy!... How can such a powerful force rise in the rear of Sparta, not worry me!

What's more, Crithops had visited Turiy before, and the new king of Dionia was quite dissatisfied with our Sparta helping Syracuse invade Great Greece! Dionia, who was hostile to Sparta, ended the war with Syracuse, if... join the war in Corinth, to us Sparta..."

Although Agsilous did not finish his words, from his eyes that had lost his sharp light, Phoebidas could feel the hidden fear of the Spartan king towards Dionia: Yes! At this time, Sparta, restrained by the war in Asia Minor and the Corinthian war, had no ability to stop tens of thousands of troops from landing on the coast of Sparta under the leadership of a powerful fleet!

But Phoebidas felt aroused, and he hurriedly said, "When the Dionys siege the army of Syracuse in Silitun, I had met the Dionys King Davers. He said in a vague manner, 'As long as Sparta is not an enemy of Dionys, Dionys has no intention of being an enemy of Sparta'."

"Really?! Tell me in detail about the situation when you met!" Agsilous came to his spirits.

After listening to Phoebidas's narrative, Agsilous pondered for a long time and sighed: "Dionia probably wants to be the second Syracuse, but it is indeed a Syracuse that is not bound by Sparta, which makes us feel very difficult... Phoebidas, do you know that Tarantum sent an envoy to Sparta yesterday and hopes to get our help because Dionyya wants to incorporate Tarantum into its alliance."

"What?! Dionia wants to annex Tarantum, this is absolutely not allowed! Tarantum is our sub-border!" Phoebidas was shocked and expressed his opposition without thinking.

"The young new king of Dionia is very ambitious, but no Greek city-state can stop him now!" Agsilous seemed a little helpless, and he fell into deep thought again.

Finally, Agsilous made up his mind. He held his left leg with one hand and supported the wooden table with the other, and said to Phoebidas with a serious expression: "Now we must first stop the Dionians from further suppressing and even occupying Syracuse and its allies! Tomorrow, I will propose at the Elders' Council... Since Dionysius has lost control of Syracuse, we can only temporarily support the rebels and quickly restore Syracuse's strength to fight against Dionia's power in the Western Mediterranean. At that time, you will go to Syracuse as a Spartan envoy to resolve its civil strife as soon as possible!"

"I understand!" Phoebedas nodded immediately.

"In addition, since the new king of Dionia has expressed no hostility towards us, we will send Kerithops to Greater Greece and have a good talk with him, hoping to make a deal that can restrain Dionia and reassure us!"

Phoebidas felt a little uneasy when he heard Agsilous's words. He wanted to remind him, but he didn't know where to start.

Agsilous did not notice Phoebidas' expression, and he was still immersed in thinking: "...ah, our war with Persia...and the war between Corinth, Thebes, Athens, and Agos has lasted for too long! If this continues, it will only weaken our Spartan power and reduce our prestige in the Greek world, and will benefit forces like Dionia! We have to find a way to end this meaningless long war!"

After the failure of the siege, Hilos summed up his experience, rebuilt siege equipment, and formulated a siege plan.

Two days later, Hilos launched another attack on Medema City, fighting fiercely until the city broke in the afternoon, and the Dionys-Lyjim coalition occupied Medema City.

According to Davers' order, Hilos was not ruthless this time. He captured the Medema people in the city, demoted them all to slaves, and sent troops to take them back to Turiyi.

This move of killing chickens and scaring monkeys shocked Locre and Tarantum, especially Locre. The loss of Medema means that the army of Dionia on the west side can no longer be blocked and can enter Locre territory through the mountain road, and Locre will also face two sides of the attack between Dionia and Coulentlia.

What made Lockley even more worried was that through the understanding of the battle situation in the north during this period, they sadly discovered that Syracuse's expeditionary army was still in danger of being protected, and it was impossible for Lockley to bring any hope!

Under the pressure of most members of the Council, Chief General Demodokas had to decide to betray his brother-in-law and sent an envoy to Silitun to ask for peace from Dionia.

However, how could Davers easily spare Locre when he had an absolute advantage? He put forward two conditions: First, Demodokas and his confidants must be expelled; second, Locre must be incorporated into the Dionian League.

The news came back to Locre, and the people were in an uproar.

Davers had no intention of taking care of Locre, who had been aroused by his words, and he was about to accept the surrender of the Syracuse army in Silitung City.

Initially, Fasce Pesas sent an envoy to the camp in Dionia, just to make a truce.

However, Davers flatly refused, and he unquestionably suggested to the envoy: the Syracuse army in Silitung City must surrender unconditionally, and Dionia will protect their lives!

Of course, he made a promise that Dionia would send them back to their hometown safely within no more than three months, but this did not include the mercenary cavalry who killed countless Dionian people!

At the same time, Davers also took the initiative to introduce the current situation in eastern Sicily to the envoy, and showed him the letters written by the city-states such as Katanai, Sikuli, and Leotini, asking for dependence.

The messenger's heart was shocked and he returned to Xiliting in a daze.

As soon as he entered the city, he was stopped by the soldiers and couldn't wait to inquire about the negotiations.

Facing the soldiers who surrounded him three layers inside and three layers outside, the messenger finally revealed the negotiations truthfully.

The soldiers never expected that they had fought thousands of miles away, but there was already a riot in their hometown. No wonder Dionysius left them and fled back to Sicily alone!

Compared with the remaining Fasci Pesa and other generals of Syracuse who were skeptical about the news brought back by the messenger, the soldiers were completely panicked. They gathered in front of the commander's mansion again, shouting the slogan "Agree with the request of the Dionians, we must go home." They even injured the guards several times, trying to forcibly break into the house, which made Fasci Pesa and others frightened.

At this time, the Numibian cavalry, who learned that they would not be spared by the Dionians, attempted to escape from Silitung in order to survive, and suddenly launched an attack on the unprepared soldiers of the Syracuse defending city.

At the same time, Reputinis, who realized that the situation was not good, led more than 20 warships willing to follow him and sailed away from the port, and was intercepted by the Dionian fleet, who had prepared in advance.

After a sea chase, seven warships fled, and the rest were either captured or sunk, including Leptenez's ship, who was rescued from the sea by the Dionian sailors and became a prisoner.

On this day, the city of Xiliting was in chaos and hustle and bustle.

Outside the city, the Dionia Scouts, could hear the fighting and screams in the city a hundred meters away from the city wall.

They immediately returned the news to Davers.

Davers took no action.

The turmoil in the city lasted for a day.

The next day, the gate of Siliting opened wide, and generals such as Fascies and Pesaas led the soldiers who took off their armor and threw away their shields, as well as more than 30,000 people, including free people and slaves, to surrender to Dionia. At the same time, they also presented the heads of hundreds of Numibians who caused chaos in the city yesterday and were eventually surrounded and killed.

The entire Dionia camp was filled with joy, and after several months of bloody battles, the invading army of Syracuse was finally completely eliminated!

Davers ordered the detention of these tens of thousands of prisoners, and led his troops to the city of Silitung, and arranged for manpower to re-clean and repair the city that was ruined by the Syracuse army.

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

The rebel envoy of Syracuse, Ferosanus, originally planned to land in Crotone and then come to the camp of Dionia, but unexpectedly, the sea near Silitine was intercepted by the Dionia fleet.

Only then did he realize that all the Syracuse troops had surrendered to Dionia, and he was shocked. He originally wanted to negotiate with Dionia by relying on the "persuading the Syracuse troops to surrender", but now it has been lost.

He was uneasy and came ashore at the port and soon met Davers.

Davers had heard of this famous Sicily poet in Ansitanos, but he obviously did not have the pleasure of reciting poems and wrote directly to Ferrosanus, who wanted to return to Syracuse and captured, saying: Dionya and Syracuse are in a state of war, so Dionya cannot release them at this time, so that they can take the shield and fight Dionya after they go back!
