Zamoratis is the son of Tescitis. Tescitis was originally an old sailor in the port area of ​​Syracuse. He was respected for his excellent ship skills and rich sailing experience. During the Southern Italian War, he and several others, with the help of the Syracuse people, united the people of the port area and helped Girolis overthrow the tyranny of Dionysius. Later, during the first rule of Girolis to Syracuse, he was elected as a general.

However, Teagenis, Falekus and others plotted to drive away Giloris and also canceled some of the policies implemented during the reign of Giloris, which involved many interests of the people in the port area, such as: allowing the people in the port area to return the land of the original mercenaries they obtained... Teagenis was very angry after hearing this and rushed to the council and argued with Teagenis, Faleks and others. As a result, they had a big fight and returned in anger. After returning home, they fell to the ground and died of depression.

At that time, Zamoratis was still young, but because of this, he hated people like Teagenis and Falekus. Because Tessic usually talked about the help the Dionians had given them from time to time at home, Zamoratis always had a good impression of the Dionians in his young heart.

Tessitis died for the benefit of the people of the port, how could the people of the port forget that after the situation in Syracuse returned to stability, the people of the port area gained some rights, so they elected Tessitis' younger brother Hiktas as general, and Zamoratis, who had grown up, gradually gained popularity in the port area because of Tessitis.

At this time, Zamoratis reminded loudly: "Did you forget how my father died? Have you forgotten how they dealt with you? Selekekus, a despicable villain, was able to enter the council because of the support of Teagenis, but he slandered your reputation by constantly fabricating facts and promoting himself. As a result, he became a hero in the hearts of the people who did not know the truth!

Which of these senior team officials has not received the benefits of Falekus and others? They always oppose your proposal in the council, so your proposal is always impossible to pass in the council, which makes the people in the port area think you are incompetent and can't do anything!

There are also the soldiers who were desperately rushing up. Why are you so willing to follow Selekekus and the others, but you can't command it? Because only their fertile land has not been deprived of the Council, Teagenis and others did this on purpose to prevent the people of our entire port area from uniting, hating each other, and fighting each other... If this continues, all your hard work will be in vain. We will lose everything and become the poor people of the port area that had nothing before, and will be completely at the mercy of their people in the city!

Uncle, we can't go on like this anymore. We have had enough of Syracuse's sinister and hypocritical rule. We want to be Dionians and live a brand new, wealthy life!"

Zamoratis's words hit Hiktas' heart. His eyes turned to his nephew from the initial pain and solemnity to the gentleness. He said with emotion: "Zammoratis, you have really grown up, and your father will feel very relieved!"

After saying that, he strode to the platform, faced the chaotic square, pointed his right hand at the soldiers rushing towards the platform, and shouted with a serious expression: "Brothers of the port, I am your commander Hiktas! These soldiers are traitors of our port people! Now I order you to take up your weapons, launch an attack on them, and take them all down!"

Hittax served as a general for several years on behalf of the people in the port area. Although he was suppressed and isolated by the democrats and neutrals in the parliamentary committee, some people in the port area were dissatisfied with him and misunderstood him, he is still the most prestigious person in the port area. Many people still believe in him and follow him.

What's more, the soldiers who shouted, "Hitax is killing people! He is a traitor! He wants to betray Syracuse!..." Most of the soldiers who wanted to kill on the platform and rescue the captured senior team officials were deliberately taken care of by the deliberate committee. Their lives were pretty good. The gap in wealth and the difference in enjoying political rights made them naturally feel superior in status when facing their former companions, and arrogance and contempt led to a deeper and deeper barrier.

Hitax's order gave the soldiers with inferiority to the opportunity to retaliate. In addition, Artemis's subordinates deliberately guided them. More than half of the soldiers waved their spears and short swords to attack the "enemy" pointed to by Hitax.

These soldiers who were eager to snatch their team officers were basically gathered under the platform. When they heard Hitax's words, some soldiers felt something was wrong and wanted to turn around and escape; some soldiers instead increased their attacks, wanted to rush up to the platform, seize Hitax and resolve their own crisis; some soldiers even boldly threw javelins at Hitax.

Because they were in the center of the front of the square, the other soldiers responded to the call and quickly surrounded them all and launched an attack on them from all sides. The soldiers on the platform also threw javelins at them from a high position. They were unable to organize effective defenses without the command of senior team officials, and the surging offensives made them even more frightened. Not long after, the sound of demanding surrender continued to sound in the encirclement, but the killing port soldiers did not stop attacking. They kept stabbing their weapons at their former companions who were showing off their power. The shrill screams lasted for a long time...

"Uncle!..." Even Zamoratis, who had previously requested to rebel from Syracuse, felt a little unbearable.

"Since we have decided to surrender to Dionia, we need a group of soldiers who are willing to follow us and are very united, so it is very necessary to kill them!" Hiktas was indecisive and hesitant before, but once he made a decision, he seemed to have become a different person. After saying this coldly, he hugged his hands silently and watched.

Zamoratis listened and thoughtful.

At this moment, the guards beside him suddenly shouted: "Sir Hiktas, look! The Council has sent someone!"

Hitax quickly turned his head and saw two white Burtons appearing on the edge of the south side of the square, followed by a small group of soldiers.

"Zamoratis, take a team of people and catch them all!" Hiktas said immediately.

Zamoratis took the order and left.

Although the people sent by the council were blocked by the dense crowd in front of them and could not see clearly what was happening in the square, the screams came into their ears clearly, so they felt something was wrong and turned around and fled without stopping.

When Hiktas saw the failed arrest on the platform, his face became even more gloomy. He turned around and said in a deep voice to the guards: "Let the soldiers speed up the attack!"

More than 10 minutes later, the sound of fighting and screams in the square gradually subsided, and corpses lay under the platform, and blood flowed into a river.

The soldiers held spears in their hands and looked at the corpse of their former comrades. The fighting spirit in their eyes gradually turned into confusion.

At this time, Hiktas on the platform said loudly: "Brothers, we have no way out! Follow me and we join the Kingdom of Dionia! More than ten years ago, Tessitis and your fathers won us dignity through battle. Today we also want to win a new future for us through battle!"

As soon as the words were finished, someone from the audience responded loudly: "Xictas, we are willing to follow you and fight those damn people in the city!"

"Defeat the people in the city and take back everything we have lost!"

"Join Dionia, we want to live a Katanai life!"

...

The atmosphere in the square boiled again, and the soldiers' emotions became fanatical again.

Hiktas took advantage of the situation and shouted: "Follow me, let's go back to Dagang first!"

The soldiers responded loudly.

But Zamoratis was a little confused: "Return to Dagang? Why not just kill the city?!"

"You don't understand." Hiktas said seriously: "Although it seems that there is no extra force in the city, the Council has not recruited citizens over 50 years old before. Most of these citizens have participated in the Southern Italian War and the subsequent civil unrest. Although their health is not as good as before, they are experienced and most of them are heavy infantry. The Council has discovered the changes here. I'm afraid they have begun to recruit these citizens. In the main city, they can call at least 3,000 people, and look at us..."

Zamoratis subconsciously looked at the square. At this time, the square was much empty than before, and the number of soldiers was reduced by about half, including more than 500 soldiers killed, and some people who did not agree with Hiktas and did not want to betray Syracuse and ran away quietly. Most of the soldiers left behind were light infantry.

Seeing Zamoratis silent, Hiktas continued: "When we returned to the port, there were many sailors willing to follow us, we could block the attack of the Council by relying on the inner walls, and we could also contact the Syracuse army outside the city through ships - what do you think?"

Hiktas' last question was not about his nephew, but about Artemis. Although he still had some resentment in his heart to use this method to force him, he now had to respect him to improve the bad impression that the Dionians might have caused by his indecision.

The plan has been successful!... Artemis was happy and his attitude became humble: "Mr. Hiktas, you are the commander of this army and you know the situation in the city best. Everything is up to you. If I need to contact the army outside the city, I am willing to execute your order."
