Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 177 The Arrival of Avignon

Then Daveus asked the veterans' concerns: "Is there anything going on in Grummentum to the north?"

"On the second day of the capture of Nyutum, Grumentum's spies entered the'fertile land between the mountains' and were found by the soldiers of the fourth brigade, and quickly fled." Sestah replied.

"They knew that Niutum had fallen so quickly?" Daveus asked in confusion, because the previous report from the Senate said: No one escaped after Niutum was captured.

"Uh... uh, this is the case..." Sesta saw Dave's expression a little wrong, and he quickly explained: "My analysis with Bagul later, it should be when Niutum was attacked, there were people in the city. Grazing in the mountains, and after seeing the city fall, he fled directly to Grumentum... Since that time, Grumentum's spies have never appeared again. We sent a team of Ezham to scout At the same time, through the information obtained from the Lucanias who came from the north, they learned that after the occupation of Grummentum, the chief of Picoxis, Cincinnagar, had relations with the tribes who betrayed Lusau. It was so stiff that the tribes did not follow Cincinnati’s orders at all, because he did not honour his previous promises to them. Now, each side occupies half of the city and is full of guards against each other. Probably for this reason, Grummentum did not take any action against our occupation of Niutum!"

The improvement of the situation in the north did not make Davers feel better. On the contrary, he looked serious and asked: "Why did no one report these things to the Senate in advance?! The Senate will not interfere with your governance of Niutum, but we manage Throughout the coalition, every accurate intelligence and news determines the strategy of the senate to make the next step. Is it a war against Grumentum? Do you need war mobilization of the whole coalition?... wait, don’t you think Can a Niutum alone carry the attack of the Lucania army?!"

Davos's blunt criticism said that Sesta couldn't raise his head, and Yasisters felt even more guilty: originally, he was going to report to Davos, but Sesta said,'wait to figure out the situation Besides, we asked the elders for instructions at every turn.'Out of the young man's nature, he agreed.When I figured out the whole thing, I happened to hear Daveus they were coming, so I put it aside for a while.It turned out that Davers would have such a big temper.

"Master Sesta, you violated the order of the senate before and committed suicide to kill the prisoners! Only the lord of the consulate interceded for you, the senate did not seriously pursue it! Now you are making your own claims, concealing the information and not leaving the senate In the eyes, don't you think that with a two-year term, the Senate will not impeach you?!" Scombras criticized loudly.

Then one elder after another expressed dissatisfaction with Sesta's approach.

Sesta was flushed, but cleverly kept silent and did not argue for himself.

Of course, Davers will not let the chief executive and assistant of Niutum recommended by him continue to be criticized, so he came out to round the field: "Your achievements are still the main ones! But I hope you learn this lesson and feel free to work with the Senate Keep in touch so that we can keep abreast of the situation in Lukalia..." Daveus said in his mouth, and he had decided in his heart: after going back.It is necessary to increase investment in the private intelligence organizations that he owns, and urge Aristilas to expand the scope of his intelligence collection.

"Is there anything else you have forgotten to report?" Finally, Daveus reminded again.

"My lords!" Yasisters blushed and said with courage: "The day before yesterday, a Lucaria came to complain and said,'Her daughter married a Greek, and this Greek was prepared again. Citizenship, and after renting the allocated land, she started to treat her daughter badly, beat and scolded every day, and said that she wanted to divorce.'After our verification, what he said was basically true. We warned the name The Greek said,'If he dares to divorce, we will cancel his citizenship and expel him from the Union!' But I think this kind of thing is probably not the only case, I hope it will attract the attention of the Senate!"

"You are doing right! However, such a shameless person, I think I should be punished as a warning!" Scombras said angrily, although he did not wait to see Lucaria. People, but do not like to take advantage of legal loopholes and play smart people."

"It seems that it is necessary for us to investigate the living conditions of the free people after they married the Turiyi woman, and to modify the previously issued marriage laws to add additional requirements, such as no divorce within five or eight years, otherwise... …" Daveus thought.

His words aroused the approval of the elders and discussed the amendment of the marriage bill.

That night, after the crowd left, Yasisters admitted to Daves alone and sincerely. He did not criticize him, but praised his performance in Niutum beyond his expectations and hoped that he Can continue to play a greater role in Niutum, and can stick to his own views, not to be swayed by the opinions of others...

……………………………………

The next morning, the expectations of the Dionysian veterans did not fail. Avinojis of Laos drove a large number of cattle and sheep, loaded with animal fur, and jewelry (mainly amber, traded from Masseria Come) and ten Talente silvers as Laos thanks to Dionya for their help.This time, the Dionysian veterans had no complaints and immediately held a simple but grand banquet for the arrival of Avignon.

The banquet was held at the Chief Executive Mansion in Nyutum.Daphes and the veterans of the veteran's hospital, including Sesta and Bagul, all attended, while Laos only had Avinogis and his 17-year-old son, Genipolis.The banquet for his father and son was arranged first on the left under Davers.

Avinogis is about 40 years old and has a solid figure. He looks more like a Lucalia than a Greek. He looks honest and simple. Although he wears a Bolton in Greece, he behaves unnaturally. Cross less.But his son's weak and delicate show, his clothes fluttering, very elegant style of the Greek aristocracy.

Although Daveus was very young, Avinogis was very respectful of it. When he followed Daveus into the living room, he was always half a position behind, always using the respectful title.Instead, as soon as Henripolis was seated, he directly asked: "I heard that the Greeks always lie down and eat at a banquet. Why is this different?"

Avinogis winked at him, and the opposite Scombras smiled: "Young man, do you know the Greek way of life very well."

"Of course, I'm Greek!" Hernípolis responded unkindly.Perhaps because of his rudeness, Avignons tapped him.

"After research in our alliance's hospital, eating lying down is not conducive to absorbing food, and it is easy to gain weight (in fact, Daveus instructed Helps to do the research and then preached among the patients who came to see the doctor). Food can reach the stomach and intestines smoothly, which is good for health. For the elderly like me, this is very important. Of course, we must choose the correct diet." Scombrus said with a smile, out of Greek tradition For the young handsome boys, the elderly are always very forgiving.

"Even in our remote Laos, there are often people who praise the superb medical skills of the Dionysian Union doctors, of course they are very correct!" Curiously interjected: "I heard that the doctors of your alliance got the guidance of Pluto, is this true?"

"I don't know this clearly." Daveus said with a perfunctory smile: "If you have the opportunity, you can go to Turriy in person and ask the director of Turrii Hospital, Helps."

Who knows, Hernipolis nodded vigorously and said: "Well, I will go to Turri immediately, and I will ask the one you just said...um...Herpes."

Everyone listened and looked at each other.

At this time Avinogis said: "Master Davis, I have a request!"

"Please say it!"

"I want my son to live with you in the league."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised.

"Sir Avinokis!" Davos believed that the leader of Laos was worried that Dionia would cross the river and demolish the bridge, so he solemnly said: "The alliance established by the alliance and Laos was established under the witness of the gods Sacred covenant! Unless Laos defaults, our Dionysian alliance will not break the oath under any circumstances, you can rest assured!"

"The story of Lord Davos's commitment to the promise, who in the whole of Greece doesn't know, I certainly believe it! I said this, not because I was worried about the covenant, but..." Avinogis smiled bitterly: "Ah... my children grew up Weak and sick. At the beginning of this year, I went to Asi almost because of the high fever... I went to hell... I heard that the alliance’s medical skills are superb, and my son has been longing for Greek culture since I was a child, so I made this decision for the alliance. Added trouble, but as a father, I hope the alliance will agree to my request!"

Avinogis said so sincerely, after eye contact with Daphus and the elders, he also made a decision: "In this way, on behalf of the Union, I welcome Genipus to Turri for a long time as a guest! and Give him the greatest care in medical and education, so that he can live a healthy and happy life in the Union, so that he can come back to Laos in the future and inherit your family business from Lord Avinogis, because he is your only son!"

As soon as the words fell, Hernipolis cheered: "Great! I can go to Turi!"
