After half a day of discussion, they quickly re-determined the negotiation conditions and allowed Kerithops to return to Greater Greece.

In the end, Dionya and Sparta signed the famous "Two Kings Peace Treaty" (that is, the King of Dionya and Sparta finally signed the peace treaty), and the content of the peace treaty was roughly: First, Sparta and Dionya maintained peace, non-aggression, and had friendly exchanges;

Second, with the Adriatic central line and north and south as the boundary, Sparta regarded the Western Mediterranean as the sphere of influence of Dionia, and shall not send any army or warships to enter, and shall not send envoys to form alliances with any city-state in the Western Mediterranean, or incite and support other city-states to engage in hostilities against Dionia; Similarly, Diona regarded the eastern region of the Adriatic as the sphere of influence of Dionia, and shall not send any army or warships to enter, and shall not enter, nor shall they enter, nor shall they enter, or shall incite and support other city-states to engage in hostilities against Dionia;

Third, considering that Syracuse is still an allied state of Sparta, Dionyha promised not to infringe upon Syracuse's territorial interests and not to force it to join the alliance of Dionyha. However, Tarantum of Great Greece has no covenant relationship with Sparta, and the conflict with Dionyha is an internal affairs of Great Greece. According to the second principle of the contract, Sparta will not intervene;

fourth……

...

The term of the friendly agreement is ten years. After the expiration, if both parties have no objection, they will renew the contract.

The agreement signed by Dionia and Sparta was not announced to the public. After all, both sides regarded other city-states as nothing, and privately divided the Mediterranean was too sensible. It was too exciting to hear that it would be of no benefit to both sides.

However, after signing the agreement, Kerithops went to Tarantum and announced Sparta's decision to his council: Sparta will not interfere in Tarantum's affairs.

The generals and members of the Council of Tarantum were as if they were lost when they heard this, and the Council of the Council was filled with wailing.

Two days later, Tarantum sent an envoy to Dionia, expressing his willingness to accept Dionia's conditions and become the "free city" of the alliance.

After signing the agreement to "Tarantum incorporate into the Dionys League", the Turiyi Senate began to release the Tarantum captives in batches and for a long time in accordance with Davers' instructions. Why was it not released at once? Davers mainly considered that Tarantum had a precedent for destroying the alliance, and was afraid that it would benefit, he would suddenly regret it. Dionys' main force was temporarily in charge of Silitung and worked with Davers to deal with some post-war affairs in Greece, and could not return in time to deal with it. At the same time, Davers also wanted Tarantum to suffer a little more, and would correct their arrogant personality and facilitate future management.

After Dionysius failed to raid the city of Syracuse, he retreated to Otigia Island again. Gloris begged the First Legion of Dionyya not to leave for the time being and let it be stationed at Hexamen so that they can get their assistance at any time. At the same time, Gloris reorganized the order in the city, formed a new defense force, and asked the First Legion dispatch officer to guide the Syracuse civilians to defend the isthmus wall.

Dionysius's failure made the people in the port area no longer remain neutral and sent troops to the city to accept the command of Gloris.

Ten days later, the new leadership of Syracuse, led by Greelis, who signed a peace treaty with Dionia, welcomed the first batch of Syracuse militias who returned to Sicily from Great Greece. The people were so excited that they shed tears, and Greelis became more confident.

Dionysius sent ships to take a team of mercenaries to land on the coast of Syracuse for harassment.

Seven or eight days later, the Spartan messenger Phoebidas arrived in Syracuse, formally recognized Syracuse's new government and reiterated the covenant with Syracuse.

The new Syracuse regime, which was supported by Dionia and Sparta, made the Greek city-state on the south coast of Sicily, which had been hesitant, finally decided to cut off contact with Dionysius, and instead sent envoys to Herolis and others to convey their kindness.

Dionysius is now completely isolated and helpless. Although the "rebels" cannot break through the strong barriers and enter the island of Ortigia, his hope of regaining Syracuse is basically impossible. What makes him even more worried is that the food on the island is being consumed rapidly, which is only enough for more than a month.

At this moment, Phoebidas made a bold move. He entered Otigia alone regardless of danger and had a candid conversation with Dionysius.

Finally, with Phoebidas's assurance, Dionysius agreed to lead his family and his supporters, as well as the more than a thousand mercenaries, leaving Otigia Island and heading to Sparta. At the same time, the Syracuse Council also agreed to provide ten three-layer oar warships free of charge, so that Dionysius could leave Sicily as soon as possible.

………………………………

Phylistos saw Dionysius standing on the pier trek and staring at the island of Ortigia behind him for a long time. The entire fleet was ready and was waiting for him alone. So he got off the boat and persuaded him: "Dionisius, let's go."

"Felistus, my best friend." Dionysius stood in front of him, but his voice seemed distant: "I understand... The Syracuse people, whether in peacetime or in war, were always constantly... constant internal strife, consumed their energy, and could not fully use their power to expand their territory and seek more benefits for Syracuse himself!"

"Yes, Dionysius, this is why I support you with all my strength." Phylistos said with emotion, casually expressing the reason why he followed him.

"So I don't think that Herolis can correct this bad habit of the Syracuse people..." Dionysius continued to say quietly.

"Gerolis is a man who pursues ideals too much, often self-righteous, easy to go to extremes, but lacks courage and ruthlessness. He cannot control Syracuse!" When Phylistos talked about this friend who deceived him and imprisoned him, his tone was calm as if he was talking about a stranger.

"In this chaotic world, we must use blood to shock the people and conquer the enemy with our strength! Gloris will not understand, and fortunately he will not understand!" Dionysius showed a cold smile on his face, and he pointed to the north of Otigia Island: "Without me, my common enemy, I dare to swear to Apollo that within half a year, Syracuse will inevitably have civil strife, and then it will be the time for us to come back!"

"The people are forgetful. When Syracuse loses the status of Sicily overlord and the Syracuses are despised by the Gentiles, they will soon feel the cruelty of reality and they will miss you again! I even think that at that time they will not only not resist you, but will also warmly welcome you into Syracuse!" Phylistos agreed with Dionysius's words, and he said seriously, which is one of the reasons why they are willing to leave with Dionysius.

"Hahaha, Apollo will bless us, just as he has blessed us many times before!" Dionysius turned around with a smile, and suddenly he remembered something, and his face became gloomy again: "But Dionya is a big trouble, we still need to specifically target it and discuss some countermeasures..."

The two discussed in a low voice and boarded the ship.

The trumpet sounded, and wooden oars hit the sea, and ships sailed away from Ortigia Island and headed east.

The news of "Dionisius left Sicily" quickly spread throughout Syracuse, and the people in the city were thunderous.

The big stone that had been pressing in his heart was moved away, and Gloris felt light and brisk. In the future, he would lead the people to restore the prosperity of Syracuse. He was full of confidence in himself.

In the center of the fleet heading to Sparta was a large passenger ship, with Dionysius, his followers, and his family on it.

At this time, Dionysius, Phylistos, Hiparinus and Phoebidas were chatting in the cabin.

"It seems that Dionyha threatened to attack Locre, probably because he wanted to lure us, Syracuse, to send troops to land in Greater Greece as soon as possible." Dionysius said with sighing.

"Listen to you, did you lead your army to invade Greece or were you tempted by the Dionians?!" Phoebidas showed a hint of disdain.

"Conquering Great Greece is indeed one of my goals!" Dionysius, who was already an exile, seemed very frank at this moment: "But I overestimated the strength of Syracuse and underestimated Dionia, especially Davers! I thought I had valued that young man very much, but his military command ability was still beyond my expectations. I didn't expect that he could quickly repel the Samonet army incited by me, return to Turiyi quickly, and defeat my army at sea and on land with unique tactics!...Felistos, I really should listen to you, don't be too anxious to attack Great Greece, but should spend a few years to consolidate Syracuse's overlord position in Sicily, so that the people who are already a little tired of war can get a full rest! Then even if the Great Greece war fails, we can defend Sicily!..."

"What's the use of saying this now? We have all been driven out of the Western Mediterranean!" Hiparinus said angrily.

"Of course it's useful!" Dionysius experienced the frustration he had when he first left, and now he has regained his confidence: "Learn from the lessons and avoid making the same mistakes next time. Wasn't we the same thing back then? Every time we encounter setbacks, we become stronger and stand higher next time, so in the end, Syracuse became the overlord of Sicily!"

Phoebidas watched Dionysius not concealing his ambitions at all and did not intend to speak. Unexpectedly, Dionysius focused on saying to him: "Phoebidas, when we attacked Greece, what do you think we should do to defeat Dionyya and avoid the ending today?"
