MTL - Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece-v9 Chapter 180 Delphi Surrender
"I promised those big people to send you safely to Delos. Although I, Stolus, always speaks for words, don't make trouble for me, otherwise I will be annoyed by me, so I will send you to the sea to feed you. Fish!" The owner said viciously while paddling.
"I don't like people pointing fingers at me!" The man suddenly said sharply, "Tell you, I won't go back to lying down in that smelly boat! If you are not happy, you can take me now Push down into the sea."
The man spoke with a sense of majesty, and the owner of the ship did not dare to make contact with his sharp eyes, muttered a few words in his mouth, and then immersed himself in paddling.
After a while, he saw the man staring at the shore motionlessly, and couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked: "Hey, who are you? Why are you Callistratus, Effie? Kratus...These generals are all coming to the dock to see you off?!"
"Because... I am their creditor!" The man said angrily, and then another meaningful sentence: "Also because I am Dionia's mortal enemy!"
This is indeed the case, because this man is Jason. After he fled into the city of Athens, the generals of Athens treated him with courtesy, hired the best doctors to treat him, and vacated a luxurious house for his wounds, but they hoped that he would take command of the mercenaries. Temporarily handed over to the General Executive Committee.
Under the low eaves, people had to bow their heads. Jason, who was like a bereaved dog, could only agree. As a result, these nearly 8,000 mercenaries became the main force to resist the attack of the Dionian army and suffered heavy losses. That was the elite force that Jason spent many years of hard work and countless money to cultivate, and he was very loyal to Jason.
However, after Jason learned of the result, he did not show any complaints. On the contrary, it made the top Athenians a little embarrassed. Therefore, when Athens decided to surrender to Dionia, Calistratus talked with Jason. Talked about it and made it clear: willing to take the risk to help Jason escape from Athens, because once Athens surrenders to Dionian, the Dionian is likely to demand this Cesaretagus.
Regardless of whether the Athenians were guilty or unwilling to create a little trouble for the Dionians, Jason knew that he had no more choices.
At this moment, Jason stared at the coast constantly beating by the waves, remembering that his life's hard work had been ruined, and even being forced to stay away from his homeland, with unparalleled regret and regret, he couldn't help but want to go crazy. Suddenly he knelt down, put his hands on the side of the boat, and stuck his head directly into the sea...
The owner was startled, and hurriedly threw down the oars, ran over to pull him up, and shouted: "Get up, don't be stupid, don't jump into the sea!"
Jason supported his hands and stood up abruptly. The cold sea water temporarily extinguished the anxiety in his heart. He struck his head and face vigorously with his hands, and then threw the seawater in his hands towards the owner of the ship.
Seeing the owner dodge in embarrassment, he laughed, then looked up at the rising sun, and said viciously: "Hurry up and row, I'm going to the east!"

The surrender of Athens is like toppling the dominoes, so that all the Greek city-states who are still waiting and watching no longer have a fluke. Ellis, Phokes, Locris, Arcadian city-states, and the Ionian city-states that originally belonged to the Athens Maritime Alliance... have sent envoys to the Dionian military camp in Attica to Croto Kataks expressed goodwill and offered to join the New Greece Alliance.
Under such a trend, the city-states of Achaia, Euboea, and even Crete, which have remained neutral since the beginning of the war (Crete was forced by the Diorian 2nd Fleet, under the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs) Below, Midolades led the Second Fleet, sailing around Crete every day)...and also made a gesture of willingness to hold Dionia as the leader.
In this way, Delphi, who has not had any movement, is particularly eye-catching. Many people speculate that Delphi, as the holy land of the entire Greek world, may have to fight to the end with the heretical Dionia.
But in fact, the priests of Delphi were already in a panic, because there were rumors that Dionia was preparing to send troops to destroy Delphi and take away all the gold and silver from the Holy Treasury.
Therefore, when they received a definite news: when the prince of Dionian Cloto Catacs was coming to Delphi to visit under the **** of the army, all the priests and people of Delphi felt that a catastrophe was imminent. Some have packed their packages and are preparing to flee abroad, while others have made the determination to protect the Temple of Apollo and sacrifice their lives...
The eyes of all the people of the local Greek city-states are focused on Croto Kataks, and they are also worried.
After the distinguished Prince Dionia entered Delphi, although he violated the traditions of Delphi due to security issues, he led the court guard up the mountain and entered the temple, but he did not meet the priests. He was kind, not only solemnly worshipped Apollo, but also offered to build a holy library in Delphi to store the gold and silver donated by Dionia.
The priests of Delphi temporarily put down their guard and began to negotiate with Klotokatax.
Klotokatax made a promise to the priests: After Dionia became the leader of the new Greek alliance, Delphi's status among the native Greek population will not change! Moreover, the Dionysian Kingdom will not only guarantee Delphi’s status as the "most sacred oracle place" in the Greek world, but also make it the greatest oracle place in the entire Dionian Kingdom. The regions conquered and controlled by the Asian Institute will also implement this promise!
This big pie suddenly smashed from the sky made the Delphi priests ecstatic. You must know that since the rise of the Kingdom of Dionia, fewer and fewer city-states and people have come to Delphi to worship and ask for oracles. Today Delphi’s sacred status among the Greeks has fallen far short of before. This promise made by Dionia not only allows Delphi to regain its former glory, but also allows Delphi to rely on Dionia’s strong strength. Fiji's influence extends beyond the Greek world to the vast Mediterranean.
Just when the priests were overwhelmed with joy, Cloto Catacs made a request: But Delphi must approve the content of the "Hadith" promulgated by the main temple of Hades in Dionian, Recognize that Hades is the head of the Greek gods and accept the jurisdiction of the main temple of Hades in name.
The priests were stunned, but on the one hand it was the Dionian army sharpening its swords in the territory, and on the other it was a brighter future. Delphi had no more choices.
The priests accepted the request made by Cloto Kataks, and soon began to act, they held a grand sacrificial ceremony, all Delphi people were asked to participate, and then Cloto Katak In front of everyone, Si asked the temple of Apollo for an oracle.
The old Pythia danced for a long time in the oracle filled with sulfur, and almost fainted. After coming out, she declared in public: she saw the great Apollo driving a golden car, jumping out of the mountains to the west, sitting in the car With the black-haired Hades holding a double-stranded fork, he was talking cordially with another young man wearing a crown, and the golden car turned into an extremely dazzling white light after it rose to the sky, illuminating the entire land and ocean...
All the people present immediately made their own interpretations of this oracle. It didn't take long for a version of the oracle interpretation that everyone agreed with gradually spread in the Greek mainland: "Western Mountains" refers to the Italian peninsula and Dionia. Kingdom, because Italy in the west of the Adriatic Sea is indeed a peninsula traversed by the towering Apennines, and the native Greek people often mock the Dionians as barbarians, and barbarians are often mountain races; “Italian Leap” means that Apollo’s identification with the Kingdom of Dionia, not to mention that he is still driving for Hades, which is already implying that Apollo has changed its flag and will be based on Hades; as for the other in the car. The young man is undoubtedly King Dionia, because it has long been widely circulated in the Western Mediterranean that King Davos is a descendant of Hades, and Delphi publicly acknowledged this statement on behalf of the Greek mainland; and finally The scene in which metaphors the Kingdom of Dionia will create unprecedented glory, and Hades and Apollo will also share the glory...
It can be said that the oracle made by Pitya is very thoughtful, but this oracle has set off a spiritual storm in the minds of the native Greeks. UU reading www. Compared with uukanshu.com, Delphi’s next announcement made the people more acceptable: Delphi recognizes the sacred name of the Kingdom of Dionian, and it is the unquestionable Kingdom of Greece, which will become the Holy League. An important member and fully qualified to participate in the Pythia Games.
In any case, Delphi was saved, and it was a happy ending, and the Greek people were relieved. Of course, some city-states will be disappointed and annoyed, but to no avail.

Cloto Kataks achieved a satisfactory result in Delphi. He did not take a rest, and then publicly announced that he would visit Olympia.
It was the Olympian's turn to feel nervous.
Unlike Delphi, Olympia has never been an independent sacred place. For hundreds of years, it has been falling back and forth between Ellis and Pisa. Argos, Sparta, and Athens also often criticized it; it also The lack of Delphi's huge influence among the people may be because the moody, lustful and lustful personality of Zeus, the **** king, did not appeal to the Greek people.
