Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Avinojis touched his son's head lovingly, with a bit of reluctance in his eyes.After a moment, he thanked Davers.

After this, the relationship between the two parties was obviously much closer, and the banquet became lively.

After averaging a few glasses of wine, Avinogis said aloud: "Master Davis, we Laos are going to implement a lifelong ruling system like the Union. Can you see it?!"

The veterans were a little surprised, and Daveus looked calm and smiled: "Our covenant makes it very clear that the alliance will not interfere in the internal affairs of any alliance city-state, we only ask the alliance to advance and retreat militarily and maintain diplomacy Consistently, strengthen economic exchanges..."

Avinokis was very happy, and he heard Daveus say: "But -" Suddenly he started to get nervous again.

"I have a little suggestion for Laos, I hope you can always guarantee the stability of the city-state, otherwise there will be riots, and when you can’t solve it, we will send troops to help you restore order in Laos. It’s hard work that costs money and effort, are you right?!” Daveus said half-jokingly and half-seriously, and the elders echoed.

Avignon Giston was relieved. In fact, he did not want to be a lifelong governor. The Laos were not used to the Greek government. He just wanted to be the chief of the city of Laos, just to prevent Daioni The Asian League felt that Laos was an indigenous town, and he chose to become a lifelong consul because he felt that the position was very similar to that of a chief.At this moment he said happily: "I am very honored to be an ally of the Diorian Alliance! I assure Lord Davos and all the veterans that I will try my best to ensure the stability of Laos. And will always be the best ally of the Diorian Alliance!"

"Okay!!!" Everyone claimed praise.

"I want to dance a dance for the honorable Master Davers and all of you, and express my sincere gratitude!" In the applause, Avignogis also came to interest, he sipped the wine in the toast, big Walking to the center of the hall, by Jiu Xing, he began to shake his shoulders and sing: "

High mountains,

That is the residence of Asinu,

We are grazing cattle and sheep under the mountain,

The beautiful girl flashed in the mountains,

The happy figure is like a jumping deer,

Attracted my attention,

..."

Weisba and Bagul began to sing along with loud accompaniment. Although Daphes and the other elders couldn't understand what they sang, they all beat and hummed softly...

For decades, Avinokis had been bearing the burden of humiliation and being cautious, and was swept away in the heroic singing and stiff dance, leaving only the heart free of joy, the comfort he could not express in his heart.

When he took his seat, there was endless applause.

Scombras stood up with a ruddy face, hiccupped, and said: "Uh... guests from Laos performed a dance... uh... our union should also respond, I sing for you A carol of Zeus...

"Okay! Okay!!!"

………………………

A few days ago, Cincinnati was in ecstasy. He defeated Akapi’s son, Lusau, to occupy the city of Grumentum. With two large cities, he could become the new Lucania overlord.

But a series of things that happened afterward made him realize that it was not an easy task to replace Akpiru.

Because he was reluctant to distribute most of the captured Akpiru tribe's belongings to the tribes who betrayed Lusau, he was even reluctant to divide most of the land owned by the Akpiru tribe to the Grummentum tribe. On the one hand, his personality is stingy, on the other hand, the tribes who follow him in Picos City also need to receive rewards, of course, who is close to who is sparse, he certainly can distinguish clearly.

His breach of contract naturally aroused the anger of the Grumentum tribe. They united to occupy the North City, refused to allow Cincinnati’s men to enter the area they controlled without permission, and threatened to drive Cincinnati out of Grumman. Tum.

Cincinnati was furious. He already regarded himself as the master of the two cities of Picos and Grummentum, would he allow someone to damage his majesty?Under his orders, the Pecosis warriors had engaged in several small battles with the Grumentum tribes in the city.At the same time, he again used tricks to try to disintegrate these tribes who united against him by buying, but failed, because no Grummantum leader was willing to believe his promise again.

Cincinnati was racking his brains to clean up these Grumentum tribes who betrayed him. A worse news came: Niutum was captured!

He immediately urged the Lucanian herdsmen who had fled to Grumentum. Hearing their words: "Seeing countless Greek soldiers entering the city of Niutum", Cincinnati was scared for a long time. He couldn’t believe this fact: He was captured by the Greeks!

How can this be?!Since the Lukarias went south from the central Apennine peninsula more than a hundred years ago, they have always occupied the land of other tribes, and there is no record of oversized towns being captured by other tribes!With a skeptical attitude, Cincinnati sent spies to scout.

Although the northern part of Nyutum city is heavily guarded, the Lukalia are after all a race mainly based on grazing and hunting. The spies infiltrate into the mountains within the control range of Nyutum city and get from the population of Nyutum grazing uphill Accurate information: Niutum has been ruled by the Dionysian city-state alliance, and this alliance is ruled by the Greek Daveus who defeated the Lucanian tribal alliance.

When Cincinnati heard these news, it was like a thunderstorm, and he was overwhelmed with horror. His first thought was to immediately flee back to Picos, away from the Greek who defeated the powerful Akpiru!

Then he wanted to reach a compromise with the tribe of Grummentum to jointly deal with the possible attack of the Greeks.But the vulnerable Grummentum tribes thought it was a great opportunity to force Cincinnati to make concessions, and they put forward the conditions of letting Pecosis withdraw from Grummentum...etc.This made Cincinnati simply unacceptable.

Cincinnati, who had strong enemies outside and worries inside, was unwilling to withdraw from the city of Grumentum, which had spent countless efforts and sacrificed talents of countless ethnic groups. After a few days of hard work, he finally decided: risking losing his skin The risk of Corsis city, once again mobilize more of the soldiers of the city of Pecos to come to Grummentum to meet with themselves, first of all to defeat these hostile tribes, and thoroughly master the central city of Lucania.

Just as he was about to get the herald soldiers to rush to Picos and send the order to Ginanet, who was guarding the city of Picos, the guard came in and reported that there was a Luca who claimed to be the messenger of Nyutum The Niahs asked to see the chief.

Cincinnati was taken aback, he hesitated for a moment and decided to receive.

When Hermon was brought into Grummentum’s Chief’s Chamber of Deputies, he was always looking left and right: at the entrance of the hall stood two rows of sturdy fighters, Cincinnati sat in front of the middle of the hall high above, three steps down Sitting on either side were the leaders of the Pechosis tribes...

Hermon looked at this magnificent hall, and it was rumored that Akpiru wanted to be the king of the Lucania, at least from the distinguished tribal chief’s chamber, he might have This plan is just a pity...

Hermon was thinking about how Cincinnati said above: "I didn't expect Niutum's messenger to be you! I heard that your city was occupied by the Greeks, but is it true?"

Before being annexed by Nyutum, Hermon's tribe was also very influential in the "fertile soil between the mountains", so his tribal leader was also well-known in the Lukaria region.He respectfully saluted, and then said: "Dear Chief Cincinnati, Niutum is now part of the Dionysian city-state alliance, and Laos also became Dior under the leadership of Avinogis. The Confederate States of the Union of Nations—"

"What?! Laos surrendered to the Greeks too!!!!"

"I have long said that Greek hybrids are unreliable!"

"What should we do now?! Without the control of Laos, the Greeks can attack us with confidence!!"

...

Hermon's words were like a thunderstorm that panicked the sitting leaders.Cincinnati originally liked this high seat, which can reflect the nobility of the chieftain. At this moment, he only hates the seat is too conspicuous, so that his fears can not be hidden. He tightly held the armrest of the seat, see Hehe Standing there with a smile on his face, a good-looking expression turned his fear into anger: "Damn Niutum! You forgot the teachings of Asinu and surrendered our enemies! Does it appear that my dagger is not sharp enough?!"

"You are wrong, chieftain. I did not surrender to the Greeks, but became a citizen of the Dionysian Union! Not only can I continue to sacrifice to Asinu, as long as I have enough silver coins, I can also be in Turri , Amendolara, etc., and other Dionysian Union territories built the temple of Asinu without interference. The sheep fighting competition continued to be held in Niutum every autumn. Customs haven’t changed...Lukarias in Niutum, like me, voluntarily became citizens of the Dionysian Union, but we are also Lukalia, but we have more freedom and have More land and cattle and sheep, but only a small tax!" Hermon proudly declared the benefits of becoming a citizen of the Dionysian Union.

The leaders and soldiers in the hall felt incredible: "Can the Greeks be so good to us Lukalia?"

"Dapheus, the consul of the Diorian Union, the man who defeated Akpiru once said,'Dionia is not only a Greek alliance, but also a Lucania alliance!' Do not believe it, you can ask the leader of the Mai Linuo tribe Wesbah and his son, they became citizens of the Dionysian Union earlier, and now they have become the veterans of the Dionysian Senate! Ready to continue—"
