Not long after, the content of everyone's chatting among the soldiers gathered in groups of three or three changed: "Do you know, I learned something amazing from Falba, the day before yesterday, the most trusted servant of Hiktas--"

"What amazing news?!"

"Shiktas secretly received the messenger sent by King Dionya in his living room!"

"What?!"

"Hey, shut your mouth and don't talk nonsense and slander Lord Hiktas' reputation!"

"This is true! I heard the drunk Falba tell me in the tavern, and he also said that the messenger of Dionys brought the promise of King Davers. As long as Lord Hiktas leads the people of our port area to the Kingdom of Dionys, we can immediately become citizens of the Kingdom of Dionys, have a fertile position, can be free from the constraints of the origin but to take office in various public offices of the Kingdom according to our ability, children can also enjoy almost free education, and we can also truly serve in the military (the Greeks are proud of serving in the city-state, but this mainly refers to cavalry and heavy infantry. For the poor and free people with low status, they can only serve as light infantry and sailors, without any honor), and can receive rewards based on their military achievements, and even be promoted to become generals..."

"Just like the Katanai people nowadays?!"

"Yes, by then we are citizens of the Kingdom of Dionia, just like the Katanai people, and naturally we have the same rights!"

As neighbors of Katanai, the people in the port area have not only witnessed the development of its ruins into a prosperous city over the past 10 years, but also learned from the maritime merchants that traveled to and from countless times. They have long been very envious. You should know that many of the citizens of Katanai were free people and even slaves living in the port of Syracuse.

They can all live such a wealthy life, why can't we?... The people in the port area were puzzled and unwilling more than once. Now it seems that the opportunity is in front of them, and the audience can't sit still.

"Has Hiktas agreed?!"

"Oh, if he agreed, we won't be here. But you haven't noticed that he has been in a bad mood these days?"

"Oh, no wonder I thought he was weird these two days. I met him on the road and said hello to him. He seemed to have not heard it, lowering his head and thinking about something..."

"Hey, I said we were citizens of Syracuse, and Dionyha was our enemy. Hiktas did not promise them that they were right! He should have arrested the messenger and sent it to the council at that time!"

"Yes, Hiktas is confused. If the other generals know this, he will not be able to explain it clearly. Maybe he will be punished and even the general will not be able to be regarded as a general!"

"Don't be self-righteous. When did those people in the city regard us as citizens of Syracuse? They took away the land that originally belonged to us and gave us only a few places to enter the council. Many proposals about our interests could not be passed!"

"That's right! That's right! Since the Syracuses don't welcome us, why do we still have to guard it here? Do you know that the lives of the people in our port were even more miserable, and they were oppressed by the people in the city. Not to mention owning land, they didn't even have the power to attend the citizen assembly, which was only a little better than slaves. It was with the help of the Dionians that the civilians at our port united and forced the Council to make some concessions and gain some rights, but did these satisfy us?!"

"If you want to live a life like the Katanai, now is a great opportunity! I heard that the Dionys had captured the Fortress of Yuriarus, and the people in the council were frightened. They had sent all the men in the city to defend against the attack of the Dionys, otherwise we would not have been transferred to the place regarded as the most sacred by the people in the city to serve as reserves. As long as Hiktas leads us to surrender to Dionys at this time, we can help Dionys, seize Syracuse, and truly become their citizens!"

...

Hiktas once thought that Artemis was the only one of the Dionys spies lurking into the city of Syracuse. In fact, he was wrong. Perhaps in the Afilica and Iberia region, the Dionys intelligence department was out of reach and arranged very few people. However, close neighbors with important strategic positions like Syracuse and have so many grudges with Dionys, how could Aristillas ignore it? For more than 10 people were arranged to lurk in the port area. Influenced by them, there were even more than 10 people in the port who had a good impression of Dionys. So once Artemis and others began to implement the plan, the soldiers in the entire square were soon talking about the "Tionian messenger talked with Hiktasmi."

The first thing he discovered was that the situation in the square was not Hiktas who had been thinking about problems on the platform, but his opponent Selekekus in the square. As one of the senior team officers of this army, he was shocked after hearing the conversation between the soldiers, but immediately realized that this might be a good opportunity for him. So he hurriedly invited several senior team officers who were also dissatisfied with Hiktas and walked onto the platform, questioning fiercely: "Shiktas, it turns out that you have colluded with Dionia and are ready to betray our Syracuse!"

Hiktas, who was in a daze, was startled by Selekekus' words, and after a while he came back to his senses, stared at Selekekus and others with bad faces, and said angrily: "Cellekekus, are you already confused for the position of this general? Collusion with foreign enemies is a serious crime of treason. If you slander me like this, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Selekekus was not afraid at all and sneered: "It's not that I'm slandering you. Listen carefully with your ears. What thousands of people are saying in this battle! They are all testimony to your verdict! You don't have to get angry at me, when the council sends people... Haha... there is a chance for you to get angry!"

Selekekus smiled freely and took the opportunity to vent his resentment that had been suppressed by Hiktas. He and Hiktas have been fighting for so many years and know him well. Just look at the change in his expression when Hiktas was suddenly questioned, he felt at ease: This matter is likely to be true!

After hearing this, Hiktas's face was unstable. Before he could defend himself, Selekekus, who had an answer in his heart, was not ready to argue with him anymore. He turned around and walked downstairs, preparing to return to the team he led, waiting for the Council to deal with Hiktas, and then he successfully took over the power he had long been looking forward to, but a group of people blocked his way.

"Zamoratis." Selekekus raised his head proudly and said disdainfully: "Your uncle is finished, and no one will protect you again. If you fight me again, don't think about staying in the port, get out of here!"

Zamoratis looked at him coldly: "I want to see who is in the port--"

Before he could finish his words, a person next to him suddenly rushed forward, took out the dagger hidden in his arms, and stabbed Zamoratis several times in the chest with quick movement.

Selekekus immediately vomited blood and couldn't speak, so he fell to the ground suddenly and stopped living when he saw it.

Zamoratis was stunned by the sudden change in front of him and had not yet reacted: "You...what are you doing?!"

Several senior team officials following Selekekus were even more panicked and screamed: "Kill! Kill!..." They wanted to turn around and escape, but were led by Artemis, who was prepared, and came forward and caught him one by one.

Then, Artemis patted the assassin's shoulder vigorously and praised loudly: "Well done! Today is your first contribution!"

The assassin smiled silly, and the blood splattered on his face and his dark skin were intertwined, looking a little scary: "Thank you, my boss!"

"Chriscus!" Zamoratis recognized the assassin at this time, very surprised.

This Chriscus was the port of Syracuse that he came to Syracuse two years ago. He claimed to be a refugee from Greece. He has been a laborer in the port for cargo. He is honest and honest. He always contributes the most, takes the least money, and is often bullied. After hearing this, he took the initiative to let his subordinates take him to the dock under his jurisdiction and treat him fairly... But he never expected that such an honest and honest person was such a fierce character, as if he was still Artemis's subordinate... Thinking of this, Zamoratis couldn't help but stand on his hair.

At this time, Artemis seemed to know what he thought and said to him seriously: "Only by doing this can you force your uncle to make up your mind as soon as possible!"

After saying that, he walked towards Hiktas with great strides.

Zamoratis hesitated for a moment and followed closely.

Hiktas had already understood the situation in the square and saw what had just happened. Facing Artemis who was approaching him, he seemed calm at this moment: "Did you arrange these?"

Artemis understood what he was referring to, and did not respond, but said: "Selekus has sent someone to the Council to report, and... look--"

Artemis Finger Square: Some soldiers led by Selekekus saw their team officer being killed and were angry and wanted to rush to the platform to seek justice, but were forcibly stopped by Zamoratis's men. The two sides had already clashed.

"You must make a decision immediately not only for yourself, but also for the people of the entire Syracuse port area!" Artemis said in a deep voice.

"Are the Dionians really caring about the people in the Syracuse port area?!" Hitax was designed by Artemis, and felt depressed and uncomfortable, and couldn't help but mock him.

"Uncle!" Zamoratis, who was beside him, couldn't help but speak.
