At this moment, hearing the number that Priintols spit out and seeing the army of Dionia that was marching continuously in front of him, the Arcadia MPs felt that even if the numbers mentioned by the other party were moisture, there should not be much difference.

Therefore, the MPs' attention to Dionia has been raised to another level, and some people have temporarily suppressed other thoughts in their hearts.

"General Crotokataks, I will introduce to you the members of our alliance." Lucomedes' voice broke the brief silence that suddenly appeared.

"That's great!" Crotokatax nodded with a smile.

"This one is Meretus of Mantinia..."

"Nice to meet you!"

...

Crotokatax had a sincere expression, earnest words and elegant manners, which left a good impression on the members of the introduction and the whole atmosphere became friendly.

At this moment, a small commotion suddenly broke out among the MPs, and then a complaint sounded: "Hey, don't rush forward, you two will be introduced to you later."

Lucomedes was stunned and looked back, wanting to know who was so rude and embarrassing the league.

Suddenly a shout rang in his ear: "Your Highness, be careful!"

Then, he saw Commander Dionia in front of him suddenly snatch the guards on both sides of the left and right sides of the front. At the same time, the two MPs beside him were pushed down hard and also brought him down. Someone rushed out from behind and was stepping on his hand when he landed on the ground, and it hurt to the bone.

But he endured the severe pain and shouted anxiously: "Beware, there are assassins!!"

The two people who rushed out of the crowd held bright daggers and rushed towards Crotocrotokatakus fiercely.

Two palace guards had already blocked his body, and drew their swords and stabbed them at the other side.

One of them was immediately stabbed, and the other burly assassin turned slightly to avoid the vital points, and forced himself to withstand the sword. Then, with the inertia of rushing forward, he knocked away the guards blocking the front.

At this moment, Printols on the side kicked his ankle, and he immediately threw himself forward. The dagger stuck in his sternum touched the ground and pierced his chest. The assassin immediately lost his breath, and the dagger in his hand also fell to Crotokataks' feet.

Crotokataks had experienced several assassins like this, but these were more dangerous and he looked calm. He picked up the dagger and looked at it, then pushed away the long shield that the guards blocked him, thanking the guards and Printols who intercepted the assassin.

"I was born in the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade when I was young. It is rare to have a chance to fight against the enemy in recent years." Printols said deliberately jokingly, wanting him to relax.

Crotokataks quickly stepped forward and helped Lucomedes up. In the process, the court guards in the rear rushed up, holding swords and shields, and surrounded dozens of Arcadia's condolence members in panic.

After Lucomedes got up, he had no time to thank him. Regardless of the pain in his right hand, he ran towards the two assassins who were lying on the ground, but was stopped by the guards.

"Let me see them! Let me see them!" Lükomedes shouted anxiously.

Crotokataks nodded and agreed.

Lucomedes first looked at the assassin who was stabbed through the sword, and then went to see the assassin who was cut off his neck and bleeding.

The assassin was almost in a coma and kept murmuring in his mouth.

Lycomedes ignored the blood that stained Botton, and listened closely: "The Lord of the Gods... Zeus is above... the great and loving... Zeus blesses... the Lord of the Gods... Zeus is above..."

Since the assassin was almost dying, he did not dare to ask loudly, but frowned and pondered for a while, then turned around and said to Clotokatax with a serious face: "Please believe us! Our Arcadia Alliance will never have just formed an alliance, and at this critical moment, I will send someone to assassinate allies!"

Crotokatax looked at the panicked Arcadia MPs, walked forward without any hesitation, and said seriously: "I believe you - the allies of Dionia! This is probably because some forces are afraid of seeing us form an alliance, so they will take this despicable way to make us who have just formed an alliance suspicious of each other!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the palace guards immediately put away their swords and shields and began to retreat, but there were still guards on both sides of Crotokatax.

Lucomedes breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, then looked at the MPs and shouted: "Aguirus, come here and see if you recognize these two assassins. I just heard their accents and felt like people from the west of you."

"This is absolutely impossible!" Aguirus walked out of the crowd and looked at Lucomedes angrily, but he walked quickly to the two assassins to identify carefully, then lay on the ground and listened. Finally, he stood up and said to Crotokatax very confidently: "These two assassins are definitely not people of Ocomemenus! But I can roughly guess where they come from!"

"Where did you come from?" Lucomedes asked anxiously.

Agirus said with a slightly complicated expression: "It should be near Olympia, where the people there respect for the god Zeus is a bit different..."

"Oh, I remembered it when you say that!" Lucomedes suddenly realized. He hesitated for a moment, and then said to Crotokatax: "These two assassins are probably sent by the Pisa people, because they are loyal allies of the Spartans, but they may also be the Olympians' own actions..."

Although Lucomedes did not finish his words, Crotokatax already understood the meaning of his words: because Dionys regarded Hades as the kingdom of the kingdom and regarded him as the Lord of the Greek gods, this is obviously completely different from the Greek view of gods, especially for the most magnificent Temple of Zeus, the grandest sports meeting in Greece to worship Zeus, and the Olympian people who have the most devout Zeus believers in Greece, they undoubtedly hate the faith of the Dionys!

Crotokatacus subconsciously looked at the Temple of Zeus in the new city of Magalopolis, which was still under construction. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to promote the Kingdom of Dionys' attitude towards treating all kinds of beliefs and religions equally. He had done such a thing in Rome, but after thinking about it, he still gave up his mind and said, "Now everything has been clear. Pisa and Olympia sent people to assassinate me in an attempt to destroy the alliance between Dionys and Arcadia and prevent our Dionys' army from reinforcements to Arcadia. We must not let their conspiracy succeed! We must repel the invading Spartans as soon as possible, and then turn back to settle the score with the Pisa!"

"You are right! Mantiniana is now being besieged by the Spartans and they need rescue in urgent need of rescue!" A Mantinian parliamentarian said anxiously.

Other members of the parliament also rush to agree, and everyone wants to get out of this strange and awkward atmosphere.

"How is Mantiniya now?" Crotokataks looked at Lucomedes. He had had two days of alliance agreement negotiations with the leader of Mantiniya. He was impressed by his steadfastness and vision, so he was more willing to believe what he said.

Lucomedes looked at his fellow Mantinians and said in a heavy tone: "We Mantinians have learned the lessons of the last time the city was destroyed. The new city designed and built should be said to be very strong and not afraid of the long-term siege of the enemy. However... we did not expect that Spartans would hire so many soldiers and were well-equipped. If the Spartans continued to launch a fierce attack, we were very worried that Mantinians would not be able to resist for a long time, and this situation is likely to happen, because the Spartans now hate our Mantinians very much! Once Mantinians fall, I am afraid that the whole city will be massacred by the Spartans this time!"

Crotokatax nodded in empathy and was about to speak, when Printols next to him asked first: "How many Spartan troops are there siege of Mantinia?"

"Combined with the reports of the messengers who took risks to report the news in the city, the number of soldiers in the Spartan army was about 20,000, and the heavy infantry was no less than 6,000, and they also had more than 1,000 cavalry..." Lucomedes replied.

Printols compared what he said with the information found by the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade, and felt roughly clear in his heart, and then signaled to Crotokatax with his eyes.

Crotokataks had calmed down at this time. Because he almost made some promise because of impulse, he felt a little guilty and made a gesture to say something.

Printols immediately asked again: "What kind of plan does your Arcadia Alliance have to deal with the Spartan invasion?"

"After receiving the news of the Spartan invasion, our alliance has begun to mobilize the entire region." Lucomedes said with a serious expression: "But the Spartan mercenaries came from the northeast of Arcadia, and the southeast of Arcadia is adjacent to Sparta. Therefore, the citizens of the city-states in the entire eastern region must first guard their cities. It is estimated that the alliance can concentrate only more than 3,000 troops, and it will take at least four or five days to gather together. Then we will lead this army to rescue Mantiniya, but compared with the Spartan army, our number is too small... So in order to repel the Spartans, we urgently need your help!"

"It is not only the issue of rescuing Mantiniya, but if Spartan's own army also attacked from the south, it may directly threaten here! The words of another MP resonated with everyone.

Printols looked at the worried Arcadia Alliance members and shouted: "Dionia's reinforcements are moving eastward, and are expected to arrive at the border of the Tegea region this afternoon (which is adjacent to the Spartan territory). We will build the camp there and try to build the camp eastward to block the access to Tegea.
