Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 121 Alliance with Turiri (1)

In the afternoon, at the meeting of the Senate, Davis' proposal to contact Turui and improve diplomatic relations was met with strong opposition from veteran citizens such as Estromboli.

Davos did not immediately implement the voting, but said with a long heart: "Masters, I urge you to consider this proposal calmly and seriously, don't just be blinded by hatred to your wisdom! You are the elite of the city-state. The people of the city-state create more lives and point out the right direction for the prosperity of the city-state! Does Friendship with Turiy improve the security of the city-state?! Friendship with Turii, does the trade with the city-state improve?! with Is it good for Turri to be good for the war between the city-state and Lucania?! Good or bad to be good with Turiy is clearly placed before you, as long as you are really for the city-state and for us For the sake of future generations, I believe you will make the right choice! Remember, individuals can have grievances, but there is only eternal interest between city-states!"

Daphus's words obviously touched Cornelius to a certain extent. Most of them bowed their heads in contemplation and stopped talking.

At this time, Scombrus stood up and said angrily: "Are we forgetting what Turri has done to us, but greeted them with a smile?! Davis, you are not us, You haven’t tasted the tragic experience of wives and sons. Of course, you can easily talk about what to do with Turiyi here..."

"I’m just talking about improving relations with Turiy, but I’m not saying that I should forget the hatred. There is a saying in the East called "Civil revenge, not ten years later." We used Turiy to strengthen ourselves until one day we were strong , Will make the Turiris swallow the bitter fruits of our hatred!" Davers argued.

"Then I don't know when to wait..." Scombrus muttered, his dissatisfaction dissipated.

The result of the final vote: In addition to Stromboli’s opposition, Scombras and Rafaias abstained, and the rest of the veterans voted in favor, and Davis’s proposal passed smoothly.

Daveus immediately began to act. He let Yasistes send people into the port of Turiri and brought a message to Burkes: Amendolara was willing to rebuild with Turiri.

General Turuli, who was at a stalemate in diplomacy, was overjoyed. In order to show their sincerity, they sent a messenger group led by the three generals of Kunogolata, Neonsis, and Ansitanos.

Out of equivalence in diplomatic etiquette, Amendolara also sent the ruling officer Davis, the city chief Cornellus, the ombudsman Antonios, and the business officer Mariji, the veteran of the veteran, Stronpoli (He himself strongly requested to participate) the head of the messenger group, at the same time made a special request: the Turiyi messenger group must not cross the Saraceno River, the two sides can hold talks on the southern bank of the Saraceno River.

The Turui Envoy, who had just left the city gate, received the news from the north side, as if they were in the first place, so that their happy mood was halved, and they agreed to this proposal in desperation.

In the morning, the two sides met on the banks of the Saraceno River.

With the exception of Kunogolata, other Turiris saw Davis for the first time.As the hero of the annihilation of the Lucanian tribal coalition, the big benefactor who saved Turui, and now the lifelong governor of Amendolara, although Daveus is still young, no one dares to underestimate him, on the contrary, except for respect In addition, there are a few fears.

The Kunogolata feels deeper.After all, when he met for the first time, he patted his shoulders like elders and juniors, and said something about caring and encouragement. At that time, Daveus seemed to have a gentle temper, even a little shy. Of course, Kunogolata did not treat him. In his eyes, he even doubted whether the Expeditionary Army was exaggerating.At this time, Davos was as gentle and friendly as the first meeting, but Kunogolata felt palpitations: a tens of thousands of Lukarias were wiped out in one hand, and at the same time, the people of Amendolara The young man who willingly chose him as his lifelong governor and completely controlled the power of Amendola can still maintain such a seemingly humble attitude, is this not terrible!

Ansitanos didn't think so much, he just thought: When the talks are over, you must ask Daveus to talk about their experience in Persia.

Under a shaded cowhide tent built by the soldiers, the main representatives of the two sides sat down on both sides.

"Before the talks, please allow me to say a few words." Kunogolata stood up and said emotionally: "This invasion of the Lukanians has caused huge damage to both Turiri and Amendolara. Disaster! The city of Amendola is occupied, the people are captured, and most of them die in abuse; and nearly 13,000 citizens of Turui died in this war. The whole city of Turiyi is surrounded by crying... Here, on behalf of the generals and council of Turiyi, I express my deep condolences to the people who died in the two cities..." After that, tears shed in the corner of his eyes, Turi The Iraqi messengers also grieved and bowed their heads.

Davies didn't expect the Turui people to do this, he couldn't help but stunned, hesitating whether he would also put on a sad expression, and there was a chuckle behind him: "If it's not your Turri's unreasonable request, Will our people in Amenorara suffer such a misery! Don’t act here, hurry up and talk about business!"

The sound of Stromboli broke the tragic atmosphere created by Kunogolata, making the Turiris at the venue look a little embarrassed, but Kunogolata was unheard of, and continued to look at Davers, thankful Say: "Fortunately, Lord Davos, you led the heroic mercenaries to repel the powerful Lucanias and save Turriy and Amendolara! You are the hero of Turrii's mind! I have not been able to invite you to Turiyi to attend the victory celebration, to accept the heartfelt gratitude of the Turiyi people to you. I and other generals and councils have all been protested and criticized by the people!" He said here, Niang Sith and Ansitano both nodded in agreement.

"I hope that the talks will be over and I will be able to invite you to visit Turi! This is the expectation of the entire city of Turi!" Kunogolata sent a sincere invitation.

Faced with this kind of kindness, Davers was really bad and refused immediately. Fortunately, Stromboli made a chuckle again: "Master Davis is now the lifelong governor of Amendolara. He visits other cities. It is no longer his own private matter, and needs to be discussed and decided by the Senate!"

"Okay, we are waiting for the decision of the Amendolara senate, but the Turui people will complain about us again." Kunogolata's expression of disappointment, then he said: "Now Turiri and Amen Dolara is actively doing post-war reconstruction, and as long as Amendorala has any need, Turiri is willing to provide all help!"

As soon as Kunogolata's voice fell, Stromboli stood up and said aloud: "Amendolara does not need any help from Turriy, because once accepted, he may pay more for Turrii next time. Big price!"

Kunogolata’s look remained the same, without looking at Stromboli, and said to Daveus: "Who is Amendolara in charge?"

Davers smiled slightly and said, "Let's start the talk."

The personnel of the Amendola Labrador Mission immediately rectified themselves.

Kunogolata looked in his eyes, his heart sighed.

Ansitanos said first: "Everyone, we all know that Turiri and Amendolara have an alliance of forty-one years. The last alliance agreement has not yet expired. Of course Tururi and Amendolara should Continue to maintain our previous alliance relationship."

Stromboli wanted to speak again, and Cornelius immediately held him and shook his head seriously.

Stromboli held his breath and spit on the ground.

"Amendolara also agreed to renew the alliance with Turri -" Antonios remarked, and the Turrii were all happy: "But there is a condition that it does not harm the interests of Tarantum. That is to say, if there is a war between Tarantum and Turiri, Amendolara will stand on the side of Tarantum."

As soon as Antonios had finished speaking, the Turui envoy was in an uproar.

"You have violated the oath you made to the gods! Please remember that the alliance agreement between Turiri and Amendolara has not ended, so your private contact with Tarantum and the signing of the agreement is already a violation of the alliance agreement. Considering our friendship with Amendolara for many years, we are not going to propose it at this meeting for the time being. You actually think that we are weak and deceitful, and even make such a shameless request!" Neonsis stood up and shouted loudly.

"Please also remember Turiyi. When Turiyi disobeyed the oath and did not send reinforcements to immediately rescue the fallen Amendolara, the former Amendolara died on the day occupied by the Lucania! The new Amendolalars in front of you, if you owe Turiyi in the past, I believe that the people of Amendolalar have paid off in more than half a year of captivity, but Turiyi owes Amendolalar, Did you pay it off?! At the time when Amendolara was the most difficult, Tarantum gave Amendolara the greatest help! Therefore, Amendolara had nothing to offer but could only dedicate our greatest sincerity! What has Yi given to Amendolara? Except that the city pool of Amendolara was trapped and the people were imprisoned!!" Daphus' words stabbed Neonsis like a sharp dagger.

Stromboli shouted: "I said long ago, don't ally with these selfish Turiris, they will never think of others except for their own self! If you insist on coming to Daphus, I will not Will meet these bastards. They are not satisfied, I am most happy! They want to teach us, I am more happy, the spear of the citizens of Amendora is already ready!"
