Ferosanus said at this time: Syracuse is willing to sign a peace agreement with Dionia.

Davers was prepared for this, and he said simply: "To sign a peace agreement with Dionia, Syracuse must agree to the following requirements.

First, the Syracuse people launched this war, causing serious damage to Dionia and Great Greece. Therefore, Syracuse must compensate Dionia for two thousand tarantes as the restoration of Dionia and other city-states of Great Greece;

Second, the Syracuses captured by the army of Dionys, each of them, as the invaders of this war, had their hands covered with the blood of the Great Greeks. Dionys could not easily release them, and they had to pay the ransom, and the price of the ransom was determined by the identity of the prisoner;

Third, Syracuse must disband the Sicilian League;

Fourth, Syracuse must recognize the fact that Taunis, Leotini, Katanai, Siculi, Naxos, and Tauromenian join the Dionian League and shall not infringe on the interests of these city-states;

Fifth, Messina…”

Ferrosanus, who was straightforward, was angry by these harsh terms of peace, but Davers's words made him suppress the urge to leave immediately: "You don't want to accept these conditions, Dionys can talk to Dionysius."

This is exactly what Gloris and others are most worried about. In order to prevent Dionysius, who has been knocked down to the bottom, Ferrosanus had to negotiate with the officials of Dionia led by Ansitanos.

On the next day, the news that "Dionisius raided Syracuse, if it were not for the help of the Dionysian army, would have almost succeeded" was sent back to Silit. After Ferrosanus learned about it, he realized the risks faced by Gloris and the others, so the negotiation process accelerated.

…………………………………

At the same time, the news that the "Syracuse Expeditionary Army surrendered to Dionia" has been learned by the people of Locre, and the people in the city are suddenly panicked.

At this moment, Hilos led 10,000 soldiers to secretly march from west to east, quickly approached Locre, and used more than a dozen crossbows to smash the defensive camps temporarily built by the Locre people at the exit of the Locre people, and used a rapid attack to defeat some Locre troops' blockades and invade their territory.

This bad news made Rockley even more panic.

At this time, rumors were spreading in the city of Rocky from time to time, such as: "The main army led by Davers has gone south and can reach Locre in one day!"... and other rumors have made it impossible for ordinary people, nobles and politicians in the city of Rocky no longer maintain peace.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Demodokas and his confidants ran to the port with their families, trying to escape from Greece by boat.

However, political enemies who were suppressed by Demodokas took the opportunity to incite the people and declared that only by capturing Demodokas and their confidants and offering them to the Dionians can Dionians reduce his anger towards Locre...

Therefore, the people of Locre, who usually strictly abide by the city-state laws and docile in Locre, attacked Demodokas and others.

The blood stained the sea water at the port of Locre. Demodokas and some generals, members of the council and their families, including the elderly, women and children, all fell in the pool of blood, and none survived.

The tyranny of the docile Lockley people after the anger made Demodokas' opposition secretly shocked and everyone was in danger. In order not to follow Demodokas and others, the Lockley Council finally decided to agree to the harsh conditions of Dionia and sent an envoy out of the city to contact Hilos.

At this point, the war in Greater Greece has ended, and except for Tarantum, the other hostile Greek city-states have been conquered by Diony.

The Tarantum people also learned about the news that "Syracuse's army surrendered to Dionia". At this time, they were already huddled in the city and surrounded by the Map Alliance. The reason why they could still understand the situation outside was because the sea route had not been blocked, which was Dionia's credit.

Because the Mesapi fleet firmly prevented the Mep joint fleet from entering the Taranto Bay, the Mesapi and Pucheti did not dare to provoke Dionya at this moment, so they had to order the fleet to retreat, thus retaining the sea route and material access for Tarantum.

A large number of Tarantum citizens were imprisoned by Dionya, and could only rely on the elderly, weak, sick and disabled to fight to the death to resist the siege of the Map coalition. The reason why the Tarantum people were still struggling to support in such a dangerous situation is unwilling to agree to Dionya's request and become the "free city" of the alliance. In addition to being a former strong state, it is more important because of Sparta. They look forward to Sparta being able to make the greedy Dionya people give up their attempt to annex Tarantum and release their relatives to save the precarious Tarantum.

In early March, the Spartan Messenger Kerithops' boat rowed straight across the edge of Taranto Bay, bypassing the land cape in Crotone, and entering the port of Silitine.

Davers has been in charge of Silitung for more than ten days, and his affairs are so numerous that he has been busy from morning to night every day.

First of all, the negotiations with the Syracuse rebels. Although he did not participate in the negotiations specifically, he must always pay attention to the negotiation process and control the general direction.

In the end, the peace agreement between the two sides was reached, in addition to the amount of war reparations, the price of the captive ransom changed, and some small clauses were added and deleted. The agreement basically achieved the purpose of Davers' attempt to weaken Syracuse's strength, reduce its influence in Sicily, and protect Dionia's interests on the eastern and central coasts of Sicily.

Ferosanus hoped to send back to the Syracuse militia immediately to defend the empty city of Syracuse. Davers also hoped to send away the newly surrendered prisoners as soon as possible, otherwise so many people would stay in Great Greece, which would consume a lot of food and send heavy troops to guard them.

But there were differences between the two sides on the two issues.

The first disagreement was the thousands of mercenaries among the captives of Siliteng's surrender.

Ferrosanus believed that they were all loyal lackeys of Dionysius and the objects that Gloris and others were preparing to clear them. In order to prevent accidents, they did not want them to return.

But Davers said: "Before the Syracuse army surrendered, he made a promise and was unwilling to break his promise." In addition, Davers did not want to leave these mercenaries who had been following Dionysius for a long time. They were used to burning, killing and looting, and were like robbers. Even if the territory expanded rapidly now, Dionyya urgently needed population filling, he was afraid that these mercenaries would be left to ruin the good atmosphere of Dionyya. Now in Asia Minor, fierce battles were in full swing in the Peloponnese Peninsula, and Greek people were in exile due to war everywhere. Dionyya would not lack Greek refugees who wanted to obtain land and live peacefully.

Therefore, he threatened Ferosanus: even if they disagree, he would send these mercenaries back, and he would bear the consequences at that time.

Ferrosanus was worried that the willfulness of the Dionians would add variables to the Herolis who already control the city of Syracuse, and could only agree to pay ransom for the former mercenary citizens and mercenaries, but asked Dionia to obey his arrangements when transporting them away.

Davers only cared about fulfilling his promise. As for whether these prisoners returned to Syracuse to become slaves or executed, it was not a matter of concern.

The second disagreement is that Ferosanus hopes that Dionia will release the captured Syracuse people in the previous battle at the same time.

Davers refused, saying bluntly: "The war has seriously damaged the homes of the Dionians and the population has dropped sharply...Dionia needs these prisoners to serve as laborers to help the people rebuild their homes, and only consider the possibility of release after a year."

In fact, this is just a reason, and the more important reason Davers did not say it. He was more worried that releasing all the captives to Syracuse would quickly restore Syracuse's strength, thus allowing the newly appointed Syracuse senior executives to have other thoughts. With these hostages in hand, within a year, Dionia could be more at ease and gradually consolidated its rule on the eastern and central coasts of Greater Greece and Sicily.

Ferosanus had failed several disputes and finally had to add a clause to the agreement: During this year, the physical health and safety of the captives must be guaranteed.

Of course, the content of the dispute between the two sides did not include the thousands of Syracuse prisoners sold to Carthage by Dionyya. Most of them were Syracuse militias, rather than the poor in the port area where they served as sailors.

During the negotiations with the Syracuse Messenger, Davers continued to meet with people from Locre and Hibernian, to preach to them the benefits of joining the Dionysian League and to resolve their anxiety. At the same time, he was also observing visitors to collect some information for the senators who will elect these two places in the future.

In addition, Davers had to consult with the Senate through letters on the management of the new territory that the candidates for the Chief Executive of the Medema and Cialis had occupied.

At the same time, he would also discuss through letters with your chief general and his father-in-law Atelic Cruise about the "joint troops to Messina".

Not only did Davers not have any spare time, but the secretary, Henepolis, also helped Davers write letters and copy documents every day, and wrote softly and irritating.

At this moment, Kerithops' boat entered the port of Silitung.

The busyness of the port surprised Kelithops. He saw that every dock was covered with thin clothes and empty-handed Syracuse people, escorted by the soldiers of the Dionians, boarded passenger ships. These passenger ships, filled with people, carefully sailed out of the port and headed south under the escort of the Dionian warships...

Seeing this, Kerithops realized that the Great Greek War was over!
