"Shut up! Drag this Lucalia traitor down, chop it up and feed the dogs!" Cincinnagar shouted angrily, he must not let Hmon trumpet the benefits of the Greeks here, which may disintegrate the tribe. Fighting spirit.

"Kill me? Good! Dionysian consul Davos is the most protective of calves! When you attacked his camp, he annihilated the Lucanian coalition! The Crotones invaded his territory , he will capture all the Crotone people as prisoners! You kill me, a citizen of the Dioria Alliance, believe it or not tomorrow the army of the Diorian Alliance will be killed under the city of Grummentum!" Hmon let the soldier come up to hold his hands and shouted fearlessly.

Cincinnager's face twitched a few times, and then he changed his mind and said, "Get him... get him out of me!"

Hemon sneered inwardly, he had long heard that the big leader of Picocis was a softie who bullied the soft and feared the hard, and it was true, if it were Akpiru, he would not have dared to offer himself to die: "Don't you want to listen to it? Listen to my good news?!"

The hand that Cincinnager swung out was fixed in the air.

"What good news?!" the leaders asked anxiously.

Hermon pushed the guards away and said loudly, "As an envoy of the Dionysian Alliance, I was assigned by the Senate to discuss the possibility of peace with Grummentum and Pixis!"

Hearing this, Cincinnagar was shocked.

"The Greeks won't attack us?!"

"Great! We don't have to give up Grummentum!"

"Can't trust the Greeks! Why do you want to occupy Niutum if you want peace?!"

There was a sense of relief in the heated debate among the leaders.

"Stupid Picosses, have you forgotten the old saying of our Lucanians. 'If you have a big stick in your hand, you are not afraid of wolves.'" Hermon laughed: "If the Diorian Union does not Occupy Niutum, will you be willing to sit down and negotiate with the Alliance?! The Greeks who love the sea are actually not interested in the land of Lucaria, there are mountains everywhere, the land is barren and the roads are bad, whether it is Doing business or traveling is very difficult, if it weren't for the fact that the Lucanians always attacked Turii through Niutum, the Alliance occupied Niutum in order to protect the territory from infringement, blocking your way to the south. …”

After thinking about it, the leaders did not speak.

Cincinnagar asked again uncertainly: "The Greeks really intend to negotiate with me?!"

"Of course it's true! Otherwise, why am I here?!" Hermon said angrily.

Cincinnage felt relieved. He leaned back in his chair and said, "Is Niutum still in a mess, afraid that I will take the opportunity to attack?"

"Big Chief, are you saying the opposite?" Hermon sneered.

Cincinnagar coughed awkwardly and said, "Okay, let me hear the conditions of your Dai... Dioria Alliance."

… … … …

Both sides have the will to make peace, and naturally the negotiation went well.

A day later, the agreement was reached: the defile between the two rivers was used as the boundary between the Dionian city-state alliance, Picocis, and Grummentum, and the two sides would not invade each other, and the two sides could open the market at the junction; Dio The Nia Alliance must not support the enemies of Picocis, and there are small tribes or wandering mountain people who are not under Picocis' rule to take refuge in Niutum, and Picocis must not stop...

The term of the agreement is one year. Originally, Cincinnager hoped for a five-year period, but Hermon refused. His reason was that many people in the league doubted whether the Picosses could abide by the agreement. The good performance won the trust of the Dionian League veterans, then the next contract renewal period will be extended.

Cincinnagar was angry, but he couldn't, because he needed this peace agreement more than the Greeks, so that he could deal with the hostile tribes in Grummentum City without any worries, and then deal with the acceptance of Lusa. Potentia of U, as for the Dionian League, that was at least after he became the leader of the Lucarians...

… … … …

Before the Dionian League signed with Cincinnagar, Avinogis of Laos had reached a new agreement with the League: 1. Laos agreed to build Turii-Neutum-Lao and is willing to provide a large number of laborers (there used to be a large number of Greek slaves in the city of Laos, mainly the descendants of Sybaris, and now they have become free people, but Avinogis could not let them acquire land, and could only sell them labor. Also, the Lucarians in the former city of Laos were either killed or turned into slaves). At the same time, Avinogis also intends to provide all the funds for the road construction. On this one, Davers politely declined his good intentions, and finally proposed to share it equally by both parties.

Second, without the permission of Laos, the Dionysian Alliance shall not turn the Laos who entered or escaped into the Alliance into citizens of the Alliance, and shall be responsible for returning them.

At the southernmost tip of the Peloponnese, there is a land called Lacidia in ancient times, but now a region called Laconia. The land is surrounded by some natural barriers, facing the sea to the east and south, the gloomy and terrifying mountains to the north, and to the west lies the tall and desolate Tigertos Mountains, whose five peaks rise like sharp claws, even if It is often covered with snow in the hot summer. The small plains protected by these dangerous terrains are run through from north to south by the turbid and turbulent Eurotas River. Among the red giant rocks on the cliffs at the mouth of the sea is the man who once stunned Greece and caused the decade-long Trojan War. Helen's tomb, and along the mouth of the river, there is a city without walls on the bank of the middle of the river, its name is Sparta.

This is a rather rustic city, although it seems to occupy a large area, except for the temple, other buildings are low and simple, but there is a kind of peace and tranquility unique to the countryside, without the noise of market vendors, nor The frolic of a theatrical actor. In the early morning, people in the city would get up early one after another. Heroth went to farm in the fields, housewives took care of housework at home, and some men went out to participate in military training and others to participate in political affairs.

The Council of Elders and the Overwatch Council are the two major authorities in Sparta. On this day, both institutions were dealing with matters concerning Asia Minor at the same time. For the powerful Overwatch Council, Tiburon's rhetoric to Cleethorpes in Ephesus is destined to be a joke. The evidence of his dereliction of duty is conclusive, not to mention that the messengers of the allies in Asia Minor are still waiting in Sparta. As a result of the trial, no one dared to intercede for him, and he hardly even had a chance to plead, so he was fined and sentenced to exile.

At this point, Tiburon will be driven out of Sparta.

In the council of elders, except for King Akis who was seriously ill and was unable to attend, and entrusted his younger brother Agesilaus to attend on his behalf, the other twenty-nine elders all attended the meeting on time, and they first discussed the aftermath of the city-state of Alice. .

The city-state of Elis, located near the Olympia region of the Peloponnese, has been backed by Sparta to win the Olympia Games from another city-state, Pisa. Who knows, during the Peloponnesian War, it took refuge in Athens, and also prevented the Spartan king Akis, who had sacrificed to the Temple of Zeus in Olympia because of the Oracle of Delphi the year before...

These things finally angered the Spartans. Six years after Athens surrendered, they declared war on Elis and sent the once humiliated king Akis to invade Elis, if not for the earthquake that made Athens Keith thought it was not a good omen and took the initiative to withdraw. Then the war was over at the beginning of the year. Under the urging of the inspector, a few months later, Akis led the troops to successfully invade the territory of Alice again, burning and looting, destroying fields and buildings, and capturing a huge number of livestock and slaves, and finally arrived in Alice. - This city, which was also not protected by a city wall, trembled under the threat of Sparta's powerful force, and the people rioted because of fear. Although the riot was finally suppressed, the national strength of the city-state of Alice was greatly damaged.

Archis did not take the opportunity to capture the city of Alice. After all, this is an ancient Greek city-state. As the host country of the Olympia Games, it enjoys a reputation among the Greek city-states. Akis withdrew his troops and returned home, but soon fell ill.

After discussion, the elders agreed that if Alice, whose strength was greatly weakened, did not want to be attacked by Sparta again next year, he would definitely come to peace talks. Sparta must force Elise to allow the towns of Frixa, Eptalion, and Epeon to become independent from their affiliations, further weakening their power and making it no longer capable of resisting Sparta. If Ellis agreed, Sparta also granted it the right to host the Olympia Games and jurisdiction over the site of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia.

The reason why the Spartan elders were reluctant to return the right to host the Olympia Games and the jurisdiction of the Temple of Zeus to Pisa (because Olympia and the Temple of Zeus were already within the territory of Pisa), it was because they believed that Pisa had been destroyed by the city a hundred years ago. After Sparta separated the Olympia region from the territory of Pisa, they had always held grudges against the Spartans, and the Pisa people had always had a good relationship with Argos, Sparta's mortal enemy.

After dealing with Alice's matter, elder Lysander stood up and said, "Elders, I believe everyone has read the report from Kelishorpes in Ephesus. The Overwatch Council hopes that we can come up with one as soon as possible. deal with comments."

An elder muttered dissatisfiedly: "The Overwatch Council is too domineering now, and it actually commands us!"

Everyone present didn't seem to hear it, only King Paulsonius said abruptly: "It's not because of Lysander's support!"

Lysander didn't even hear it.
