Before the army of Dionys surrounded Jerusalem in full, the Judaism high priest took the initiative to go to Dionys camp and humbly expressed to King Davers the willingness of "the Jews were willing to surrender to the Kingdom of Dionys."

Davers is more cautious about this special race that believes in the only God in the Mediterranean world. He quickly accepted the Jews' surrender and made a promise and warning: "As long as the Jews are loyal to the Holy Kingdom of Dionys, the Jews can have the right to live according to their own laws and religions. At the same time, the Jews cannot influence the living rights of other races under the Holy Kingdom of Dionys because of their own customs and habits, otherwise Dionys will inevitably interfere!"

The next day, King Davers was greeted by the high priest in purple-red robe and the thousands of Jerusalem people he led at the gate of Jerusalem. Davers followed Cyrus of that year and read out his promises and warnings in public.

The people cheered, and at the same time, the Jewish priests tied up the Governor of Canaan appointed by Artaxerxes, Nehemiah and his subordinates who worked hard to rebuild the Canaan region, and pushed them to Daphs and handed them over to him.

Davers did not severely punish the Persian governor who was also a Jew in public. On the contrary, after he brought him back to the camp, he asked Nehemiah in a gentle manner: If he was willing to serve the Kingdom of Dionia, he would be sent to govern the Canaan region after he became familiar with the political system and legal system of Dionia.

The Jewish people had a broad personality but were not conservative and stubborn. Nehemiah obviously inherited this characteristic. Surrendering to Dionia not only allowed him to survive, but also possible to fulfill his long-cherished wish to rebuild Jerusalem and seek revenge for the Jewish priests who betrayed him, so he happily fell to Daphs's presence.

With Nehemiah as his guide, the army of Dionys quickly conquered the entire Canaan region, and then under his guidance, he successfully invaded the Samaritan region east of Jerusalem, quickly captured many towns, and captured the governor of the region, Sambala, which also made Nehemiah breathe a sigh of relief.

Canaan and Samariah were conquered by Dionia one after another, making Gaza a Persian enclave isolated.

The Persian defenders were panicked, and they were eager to leave this dangerous place and return to their hometown.

Under the strong demands of the soldiers, the defenders had to let the soldiers bring enough water and quietly leave Gaza City and march northeastward, trying to bypass the area occupied by the Dionian army and go to Damascus through the trade road on the edge of the desert to the east.

Unexpectedly, the Dionian army had been closely following the movements of Gaza City and soon discovered the attempts of Persian defenders.

On the second day, the four cavalry corps of Dionia and the Numibian light cavalry corps caught up with the marching Persian defenders. The light cavalry corps raided with bows and arrows and javelins. The cavalry corps launched an attack and quickly defeated the Gaza defenders. The city of Gaza successfully fell into the control of the Dionian army.

After completely stabilizing the rear, Davers led his army to continue northward and soon entered the Phoenician area.

It can be said that the Phoenicians were the first to be enemies of Dionia among these areas affiliated to Persia. When the Phoenicians made the decision to send a fleet to support Carthage thousands of miles, they probably never expected that one day the army of Dionia would come to the city, and the first city that Dionian troops wanted to attack was the advocate of that year, Tyre.

After Phoenicia surrendered to Persia, the successive Persian kings promised that as long as Phoenicia paid a certain share of gold and silver every year, their fleets were ready to be dispatched at any time, they would allow the Phoenicians to live in their original ways.

For a hundred years, the Persian kings did rarely interfere in the administrative affairs of the Phoenicians. One of the important reasons is that the mountains of Lebanon separated Phoenicia from the inland Persia, and land transportation was inconvenient. This terrain also had a great impact on Phoenicia. They did not have a vast and fertile arable land and could not raise more people. They could only do their best to develop on the sea, thus becoming rich and prosperous due to maritime trade. However, due to the certain conflicts in the commercial interests of various city-states in Phoenicia, although they established a Phoenician city-state alliance very early, they were unable to form a unified country.

Therefore, the Persian kings were quite satisfied with the state of being independent in the Phoenician city-state, and the Phoenician city-states also took advantage of Persia's favor to them and made a lot of profits in trade with the inland, so they were relatively loyal to Persia.

Tyer is the strongest among the city-states of Phoenicia, and its city is built on an island about eight miles away from the coast, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Alexander, the king of Macedonia who was smoothly attacking Persia in his previous life, suffered setbacks and took him half a year. It is precisely because of this memory that Davers was very cautious when he led his army to approach Tyer, and was ready to lead the generals on a warship to carefully investigate the defense of Tyer, and then consider whether to directly attack the city or force him to surrender through long-term siege.

But before he set out, Tyre's messenger arrived first.

Tyre's messenger is also an acquaintance - the former Carthage Sophite Typanrako.

After seeing Davers, he not only did not reveal his former arrogance and hostility towards Dionia, but even a little flattering, so the atmosphere of the entire talks was relatively relaxed.

Davers asked about Hannover and others' recent situation, and Typanraco's expression became a little heavy.

It turned out that after Dionyya forced Carthage to expel the Hannover factions, most people chose to settle in their former mother country, Tyer, and Tyer accepted them. However, Hanno and others' power in Carthage was not only unable to be reappeared, but the top leaders of Tyer also deliberately suppressed it, making it difficult for them to gain some power. The people of Tyer once envied Carthage's wealth and power, but now they often despise these stray dogs. Although they had no worries about food and clothing (Ocreton, who defected to Dionyya, persuaded the Carthage parliament out of guilt and allowed them to take away part of their property), their lives were relatively depressed, especially Hanno. He could not bear such loneliness and died of depression within a few years.

However, since Dionia declared war on Persia, the top leaders of Tyer began to pay attention to Tepanrako and others. Not only did they often ask them about Dionya, but they also elected Tepanrako and others to become members of parliament, and discussed together in the parliament how to deal with the attack of Dionya's army.

The reason why Tepanraco was sent as an envoy was because he was familiar with the Dionians and was more easily accepted by the Dionians.

The purpose of Teppanraco's mission was to surrender to Dionia on behalf of Tel.

Davers did not seem happy about this good news, but was a little cautious, because in his memory, when Alexander led his army to Tel, the Tels took the initiative to surrender. However, when Alexander proposed to go to the Meerke Temple in Tel to worship Hercules, Tel immediately expressed his refusal. It turned out that they chose to surrender in the face of military pressure, and wanted to wait for Alexander's army to fight against the Persian army before making the final choice.

So Davers made the same request, and Tepanraco said that he could not make a decision and needed to ask the opinions of the Tyre Council before he could reply.

After he left on a boat, Davers immediately reminded the generals: be prepared for battle and not be confused by the surrender of the Thiels.

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Tepanraco came to Camp Dionya again and sincerely stated to Davers that the Tyre Council was ready to welcome King Davers' visit at any time.

Davers did not refuse, and led an elite soldier to the island on the second day, and the Thiels greeted him respectfully.

In the Holy Kingdom of Dionys, Hercules was one of the most popular gods, so Davers solemnly worshipped the statue of his god here. The Thiels were always at peace throughout the sacrifice, which made Davers believe their sincerity.

Based on what he observed in Tyre City, Davers analyzed the reasons why the Tyres made a completely opposite choice from the history of his previous life.

That is because although Alexander in the previous history won consecutive battles in the land war, his navy was very weak, and even disbanded his already weak fleet for a while, causing him to harass the rear of his conquering many times, causing him to have a lot of trouble. Alexander could only gain dominance in the Eastern Mediterranean by capturing one Persian towns along the Mediterranean coast in turn. There was no way. It was also because of this that the Tels bullied him without a navy and it was difficult to conquer their cities in the sea, so they dared to delay time by deceiving surrender. In fact, because of the lack of a navy, Alexander did encounter great difficulties in attacking Tel. Even though Cyprus surrender later provided him with a fleet, it took him more than seven months to capture Tel, which was time-consuming and laborious.

However, the sacred kingdom of Dionia is different. Its naval power is strong and it defeated the Persian fleet twice in Samos and Cyprus. It not only established an absolute advantage at sea, but also completely controlled the Near East waters. Not long ago, the army landed in Cyprus had conquered the entire island. The first and second fleets had entered the Cyprus military port, which was very close to Tel. It could block and attack Tel at any time, posing a great threat to Tel.

In addition, although the Macedonian army in his previous life was very strong in combat, its number was only 40,000 to 50,000, which was too disparity compared with the Persian army, so the Thiels lacked confidence in Macedonia to eventually defeat Persia.
