Plesinas truly when entering the Taranto port, has not seen usually in several Taranto warship divisions of inshore patrol. For all this, he continues to request to Council of Taranto brazenly: Even if only sends several warships to go to Thurii also good. 普莱辛纳斯确实在进入塔兰图姆的大港时,没有看到平时在近海巡逻的几支塔兰图姆战船分队。尽管如此,他还是继续厚着脸皮向塔兰图姆元老院请求:哪怕只派几艘战船到图里伊去也行。 In his heart is being the calculating: In situation that Crotone in battles with Theonia, does not dare to provoke Taranto again, even if only then several Taranto warships to act as the facade in the Theonia east coast patrol, can still play the role of shock and awe, can thus assure Theonia the basic safety of coastline. 他心中打着小算盘:克罗托内在与戴奥尼亚交战的情况下,绝不敢再招惹塔兰图姆,因此即使只有几艘塔兰图姆战船在戴奥尼亚东海岸巡逻以充当门面,也可以起到震慑的作用,从而能保证戴奥尼亚的海岸线的基本安全。 How however Council of Taranto still Plesinas persuaded, actually firmly refuses, making insensitive him fly back without any results. 但是塔兰图姆元老院仍普莱辛纳斯怎样劝说,却坚决拒绝,让厚脸皮的他无功而返。 Plesinas just returned to the Thurii harbor, the Crotone fleet arrived, the Thurii seaborne commerce route shuts off immediately, the harbor falls into scared. 普莱辛纳斯刚回图里伊港口,克罗托内的舰队就到了,图里伊的海上贸易航路立刻被切断,港口陷入恐慌中。 Olivos leads lots of patrollers to rush, helping Marigi keep the order. 奥利弗斯带着大量巡逻队员赶到,帮助马里吉维持秩序。 Davos knew after decision of Taranto, pondered a meeting, said to clerk Yaris Dockwra bottom: „I remember probably that Sparta envoy had gone to Taranto?” 戴弗斯得知塔兰图姆的决定后,沉思了一会,对身旁的书记员亚里斯多克拉底说道:“我好像记得那个斯巴达使者曾经去过塔兰图姆？” „Yes, Aristias reported to say at that time, ‚the Sparta person hopes Taranto abolishes with our union, acts to take the lead in resisting us, but was rejected by Council of Taranto.’” “是的,阿里司提拉斯当时汇报说,‘斯巴达人希望塔兰图姆废除与我们的同盟,出面带头对抗我们,但遭到塔兰图姆元老院的拒绝。’” „But it had an effect.” Davos sighed, immediately sneered: Taranto, this is to sit mountain Guanhu to fight! Also good, this war must depend on us eventually! “可是它还是起作用了。”戴弗斯叹了口气,随即冷笑:塔兰图姆,这是想坐山观虎斗啊！也好,这场战争终究要靠我们自己！ „You told Aristias, regarding that Crotone scout, can draw in a net.” “你去告诉阿里司提拉斯,对于那个克罗托内探子,可以收网了。” „Yes!” “是！” ........................ …………………… Theonian closed the harbor, in Tela Tus's expected, he beforehand with aiding the Crotone express steamer reached an agreement: Every night gains his information in the specific sand beach in Crati river estuary. 戴奥尼亚人关闭了港口,在特拉图斯的意料之中,他事先早已经与接应的克罗托内快船商量好了:每晚在克拉蒂河入海口的特定的沙滩上获取他的情报。 In he in starting to write the confidential letter, the gate was hit suddenly, wells up 45 people. 就在他又在开始写密信时,门突然被撞开,涌进来四五个人。 He startled, subconscious grasps the paper volume in the hand, just shouted one: „Who you are-” person who was flushed pushing to the ground the hand that he pinches tightly also broke off, the paper that has not torn into shreds was also taken away, immediately his complexion big change. 他惊慌之下,下意识的将莎纸卷抓在手中,刚喊了一句:“你们是谁-”就被冲进来的人给按倒在地,他捏紧的手也被掰开,还未撕碎的莎纸也被拿走,顿时他脸色大变。 „This afternoon, Thurii about 10,000 people moved into the military compound fully-armed, the harbor also had 1000 heavy infantries, it is said Amendolara citizen soldier on coming the Thurii road, Nerulum-” a clear sound resounded above his top of the head: „Tela Tus, I have to acknowledge that your power of observation and computational ability are really good, writes tallies with the fact to the Crotone information very much, no wonder Crotonians will send you to come to Thurii, and here stayed for a half year, how doesn't know you to here impression?” “今天下午,图里伊约有一万人全副武装入驻军营,港口也驻扎了一千名重步兵,据说阿门多拉腊的公民兵已经在来图里伊的路上,尼乌图姆-”一个清晰的声音在他的头顶上方响起:“特拉图斯,我不得不承认你的观察力和算数能力真是不错,写给克罗托内的情报跟事实很相符,难怪克罗托内人会派你到图里伊来,并且在这里呆了半年,不知道你对这里的印象怎么样？” Hears this saying, a Tela Tus's heart sank, he has understood oneself whereabouts in grasping of Theonian. 听到这话,特拉图斯的一颗心沉了下去,他已经明白自己的行踪早在戴奥尼亚人的掌握之中。 When he was put up, front he sees is standing a look elegant thin and tall middle-aged man, is visiting him interestingly. 当他被架起来时,他看到面前站着一个相貌文雅的瘦高个中年男子,正饶有兴趣的看着他。 „How do you think me?” Tela Tus throat dry asking in a low voice. “你们想把我怎么样？”特拉图斯嗓子干涩的低声问道。 Thin and tall has not spoken, received a thing from others hand, attains in front of Tela Tus: That is carves very much coarse devil wood blade. 瘦高个没说话,从旁人手中接过一物,拿到特拉图斯面前:那是一把雕刻得很粗陋的小木刀。 Tela Tus actually stares the big eyes immediately, the facial expression impressively, makes an effort to struggle shouting: „You my child how?! You held my child, is?!! He is only seven years old! Hera on, asking you to forgive him!! Forgave him!! Let me make anything to be good!!......” He is imploring urgently, in the end chokes with sobs. 特拉图斯却顿时瞪大双眼,神情赫然,使劲挣扎着喊道:“你们把我孩子怎么了？！你们抓住了我的孩子,是不是？！！他只有七岁啊！赫拉在上,求你们饶了他吧！！饶了他！！让我做什么都行！！……”他苦苦哀求着,到最后泣不成声。 Thin and tall serious-looking saying: „Your wife and child still in the Crotone city, however under the surveillance of our person, introduced oneself, I called Aristias, intelligence officer of archon Sir Davos( although Davos complied to give him this position, but he now or freeman, but also was not government official), gave you a choice, was Theonia works. If rejects, not only you die, the wife who you are sick because without money will die of illness, the son will also degenerate into the slave ; If you agreed, you will become the Theonia preparation citizen, we will rescue your wife and children with every effort, and makes the doctors of alliance treat an illness for your wife, you are know that the medical skill of our alliance is stronger than Crotone!” Aristias stops, sees Tela Tus to lower the head, on face Yin clear uncertain, therefore the sinking sound said: „Is lives dies, yourself choose.” 瘦高个神色冷峻的说道:“你的妻子和孩子还在克罗托内城,但是在我们的人的监视之下,自我介绍一下,我叫阿里司提拉斯,执政官戴弗斯大人的情报官(虽然戴弗斯答应给他这个职位,但他现在还是自由民,还算不上是官吏),给你一个选择,为戴奥尼亚做事。如果拒绝,不但你死,你患病的妻子会因为没钱而病死,儿子也会沦为奴隶;而如果你同意,你将成为戴奥尼亚预备公民,我们会尽力救出你的妻儿,并让联盟的医生为你妻子治病,你是知道我们联盟的医术比克罗托内还要强的！”阿里司提拉斯停顿一下,见特拉图斯低着头,脸上阴晴不定,于是沉声说道:“是生是死,你自己选择吧。” ........................... ……………………… Dusk the time, Crotone chief general Milo received the confidential report from Thurii: This afternoon, Thurii starts to assemble the citizen soldier, about 4000 cities the citizen in the Nike square set, outside the city various villages in the mobilization, has not seen large numbers of citizens to enter the Thurii city. Thurii has sent out approximately 1000 soldiers to enter the harbor, and sends out many cavalries to inspect the coast, Amendolara and Nerulum has not seen the army to arrive now. 黄昏时候,克罗托内首席将军米隆接到了来自图里伊的密报:今天下午,图里伊开始集结公民兵,据悉约有四千城内公民在胜利广场集合,城外各村庄尚在动员中,还未见有大批的公民进入图里伊城。图里伊已经派出约一千士兵进驻港口,并派出不少骑兵巡视海岸,阿门多拉腊、尼乌图姆现在还未见军队到达。 Crotone in the half year as well as understood from released soldier there through Tela Tus's information the situation, chief general Milo had known about Syria, treating Theonia is also very vigilant, therefore has prepared beforehand early, after helping Krimisa eliminates the mercenaries, conducts the war mobilization immediately. This time in order to defeats Theonia thoroughly, Crotone and attached Aprustum assembles all military that they can assemble: Crotone 20,000 people, Aprustum 3000 people ; Crotone allied country Scylletium is a big city, but previous time in the surprise attack of Theonia alliance, its loss is most serious, but to take revenge, it still squeezed out 2000 military ; Also sent out 1000 people close to Bruttians Terina, this Crotone has not rejected ; Only had Caulonia, Crotone rejected its reinforcement, because of the Caulonia south, but Crotone foe Locri union, although it did not have the too big change in recent years, but Crotone knows that Locri has eyed covetously to the north, when oneself and Theonia battled, Locri attacked suddenly, was attacked and occupied Caulonia by it, then it can smooth take Scylletium that was shorthanded again, pressed up to rear void Crotone......, therefore, to the vigilance and defense of Locri cannot relax absolutely. 克罗托内这半年来通过特拉图斯的情报以及从被释放的士兵那里了解到的情况,首席将军米隆对戴欧利亚是有所了解,对待戴奥尼亚也十分警惕,因此事先早有所准备,在帮克里米萨消灭雇佣军之后,就立刻进行了战争动员。这一次为了能彻底击败戴奥尼亚,克罗托内及其附属阿斯普鲁斯图姆集结了他们所能集结的所有兵力:克罗托内两万人,阿斯普鲁斯图姆三千人;克罗托内的盟邦西里庭本是一个大城,但上次在戴奥尼亚联盟的突袭中,它的损失最严重,可为了复仇,它仍然挤出了两千兵力;靠近布鲁提人的特里纳也派出了一千人,这一次克罗托内没有拒绝;只有考伦尼亚,克罗托内拒绝了它的增援,因为考伦尼亚的南面可是克罗托内仇敌洛克里同盟,虽然近年来它没有太大的异动,但是克罗托内知道洛克里对北方一直虎视眈眈,如果自己与戴奥尼亚交战之际,洛克里突然出击,被它攻占了考伦尼亚的话,那么它就可以顺利再拿下缺兵少将的西里庭,直逼后方空虚的克罗托内……因此,对洛克里的警惕和防御是绝对不能放松的。 Meanwhile must start with the battle of Theonia as soon as possible, cannot wait for the Theonia army to be in attendance attacks again. Therefore, a Crotone anti- Greece city-state consistent dilatory pre-war preparatory work, these seems specially efficient time, not only completes building up in one day, allied country's reinforcements also step up to hurry along urged by him. 同时与戴奥尼亚的会战也要尽早开始,不能等待戴奥尼亚的军队都到齐了再进攻。因此,克罗托内一反希腊城邦一贯拖沓的战前准备工作,这一次显得特别高效,不但在一天时间内完成集结,盟邦的援军也在他的催促下加紧赶路。 In fact, Locri was knowing that Crotone and Theonia erupt the news of war to be joyful exceptionally, its powwow after the discussion, sending out the envoy to go to Theonia, who knew Crotone not only blocked on the land route went to the northern path, but also the Magna Graecia east coast always had the Crotone warship to patrol toward the northern sea level from Ricse cape, forcing the Locri envoy to change the direction, planned to make passenger ship shift to southwest side Sicily, the booklet disembarked to northeast Taranto again, takes the land route to circle a great-circle. 事实上,洛克里在得知克罗托内与戴奥尼亚爆发战争的消息欣喜异常,它的议事会经过商议,派出了使者前往戴奥尼亚,谁知克罗托内不但在陆路上封锁了去北方的道路,而且大希腊东海岸自阿利切海角往北的海面上始终有克罗托内战船游弋,迫使洛克里使者不得不改变航向,计划让客船转向西南面的西西里,再折向东北的塔兰图姆下船,走陆路绕一个大圈。 ........................ …………………… Davos is analyzing the Crotone military intelligence with general of regiment, discussed the meeting the enemy countermeasure, Yaris Dockwra bottom came, with his whisper several, Davos nods, said: „Makes them come.” 戴弗斯正与军团的将领们分析克罗托内的军事情报,商量应敌对策,亚里斯多克拉底进来,同他耳语了几句,戴弗斯点点头,说道:“让他俩进来吧。” He turns around to say to general: „Brothers, Xanticles and Tolmides came.” 他转身对将领们说道:“兄弟们,赞提帕里斯和托尔米德来了。” Also immediately a silence in living room of argument. 还在争论的客厅里顿时一片寂静。 Xanticles and Tolmides anxious walks hurriedly, never expected that in the living room will have so many people, at that time was also shocked. 赞提帕里斯、托尔米德面带忧色的急匆匆走进来,没想到客厅里会有这么多人,当时也愣住了。 At this time, Davos smiled was saying: „Is preparing to call you, never expected that you poured first come. We are just about to start to discuss how to cope with Crotonians, you came to say your views quickly.” 这时,戴弗斯微笑着说道:“正准备去叫你俩,没想到你们倒先来了。我们正要开始商议如何对付克罗托内人,你们快进来说说你们的看法。” Xanticles and Tolmides looked at each other one mutually, then the single knee kneels down, saying of face apology: „Sir Davos...... also has...... fellow allies, we are really...... are unfair to you! Brought the war to Theonia, brought troublesome to you! Timasion and Kerry Hanno they a while ago continuously frequent contact mercenary, had once asked our opinion repeatedly, we have thought they want to leave here, has not thought of...... us-” 赞提帕里斯与托尔米德互相对视了一眼,然后单膝跪下,一脸歉意的说道:“戴弗斯大人……还有……各位战友,我们真是……对不起你们！给戴奥尼亚带来了战争,也给你们带来了麻烦！提马宋、克里安诺他们前段时间一直频繁接触雇佣兵,也曾反复问过我们的意见,我们一直以为他们只是想要离开这里,没想到……我们-” „Timasion their matters have nothing to do with you!” Davos interrupts their words, look serious and earnest saying: „Everyone has own idea and has liked the life, you and other mercenaries chose stayed behind, but has not left, explained that you approved the system of Theonia, liked living here, is willing to become the Theonia citizen. Then come, fights with us together! Before the Crotone army, tests your times arrived! Counter-attacks others 's questions with your heroic performance, to the Theonia people showed that we had not misread the person initially, showed that you pledge to fight to the death to guard the determination of Theonia, making the Theonia people open to surround voluntarily welcome you!” “提马宋他们的事跟你们无关！”戴弗斯打断他俩的话,神色严肃而认真的说道:“每一个人都有自己的想法和喜欢过的生活,你们和其他雇佣兵选择了留下而没有离开,说明你们认同戴奥里亚的制度,喜欢在这里生活,愿意成为戴奥尼亚的公民。那么来吧,跟我们一起战斗！在克罗托内的大军面前,考验你们的时候到了！用你们的英勇表现回击其他人的质疑,向戴奥尼亚民众证明我们当初没有看错人,同时也证明你们誓死捍卫戴奥尼亚的决心,让戴奥尼亚民众自愿的张开环抱欢迎你们！” „Davos said right! Xanticles and Tolmides, making us fight together, defeat Crotonians! They revenge for Timasion!” “戴弗斯说得对！赞提帕里斯、托尔米德,让我们一起战斗,击败克罗托内人！为提马宋他们报仇！” „Good, we can fight finally together!” “太好了,我们终于又可以在一起战斗了！” ...... …… Amintas and Antonios they expressed to Xanticles and Tolmides warm welcome, making them feel relieved. 阿明塔斯、安东尼奥斯他们纷纷对赞提帕里斯、托尔米德表示了热烈的欢迎,让他俩如释重负。 Note: When Crotonians assembles the army prepares to attack the Theonia alliance, vol. 4 of this book had reached the last act. To know that Theonia can fortunately survive under the ferocious attack of Crotonians? Also can reverse wins? Please look at the next volume: south intent overlord 注:当克罗托内人集结大军准备进攻戴奥尼亚联盟时,本书的第四卷已经进入了尾声。想知道戴奥尼亚能否在克罗托内人的猛烈进攻下幸存？又能不能逆转获胜？请看下一卷:南意霸主 I remember one novel «from city-state to Empire» in the preparation starts to write «south intent Overlord» this volume stops writes, so many years pass by, in the heart is a regret, these rewrites here time, finished the long-cherished wish. 我记得上一本小说《从城邦到帝国》就是在准备开始写《南意霸主》这一卷时停写的,这么多年过去,一直在心中是个遗憾,这一次重写到这里,也算是了却了夙愿。
