Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Meteorphoenix believes that the Dionysian Senate deliberately procrastinated and fooled himself. In fact, he had already prepared the peace talks with Crotone, and in vain, he rushed to Turri... The coalition just established by Onia dare to deceive and despise Lockley!

Therefore, he dragged his frail body to participate in the triumph.Because he was an emissary of Lockley, he was arranged by the Senate to live in a hotel not far from the Senate Hall of the Senate. He lived in the city and was a VIP. He was naturally allowed to watch the triumph.Originally, he also wanted to meet the Dionysian consul at the end to vent his dissatisfaction, and at the same time, on behalf of Lockley, express a proper threat to Dionyssia, who had just formed an alliance with Crotone, to force them to do Make some changes that are beneficial to Lockley.But after watching this magnificent and lively army triumphant ritual he had never seen before, he was deterred by Dionysia's huge strength, high morale and the zealous atmosphere of the people, making him aware of this It is a coalition that advocates heroes and militants from the elders to the civilians. No one can be ignored, and I am afraid that it will not be easily compromised, so I kicked back...

Sending the last freemen team, the people poured into the square, and Davis' speech delivered a successful ending for this triumph: "People of the Dionysian Union, I thank you on behalf of the Senate!

When a strong enemy invades, you have no fear, no retreat, but work together and fight bravely!The soldiers fought bravely in the front, fearing sacrifices and fighting for heroes; while you are arduously transporting supplies in the rear, you must avoid the surprise attack of the enemy fleet, tolerate the grief of losing your loved ones, and support the battle in front of us!

Today we won.This is the result of the joint efforts of all citizens, reserve citizens, free citizens and their families of the Dionysian Union!We will use this victory to comfort the warriors who died on the battlefield, and hope that their heroes can reach the Elysee Paradise in Hades!I, Archon Daves, will also use this victory to tell you that the days of the Dionysian League’s insults are over, and you will have a better tomorrow!Dionysian Union wins!..."

"Dionysian Union wins!!!"

"Dionysian Senator Wansheng!!!"

"Daveus Consul Wansheng!!!"

"Daveus Wansheng!!!"

...

At that moment, cheers rang from the square, and the whole city of Turiyi became a sea of ​​joy!

…………………………

After the sacred day of the Spartan King Akis, after a period of preparation, the Spartan Council of Elders finally decided to elect a new Spartan king to avoid the long standing of the throne and lead to domestic political turmoil.

On this day, 29 elders in the parliament of Sparta City entered the venue early, and two other candidates for the king were present. They were the son of former Spartan king Akis, Leotizides, and Agis's brother-in-law Agassius.

The rotating speaker Kleostida announced: "The sacred meeting of kings begins! The candidates will first state their reasons for being kings."

The young and vigorous Kleostida stood up first and said loudly to his uncle: "Oh Agsi Laws, the ancient law clearly stipulates,'The king should be the son of the king, not him. Brother. If the king happens to have no heirs, it may be his brother’s turn to succeed.'If you don't want to lose face, leave early."

Agsilaus did not face his nephew, but faced everyone with a respectful attitude and a low tone, but said affirmatively: "Dear elders, the one who succeeds to the king should be me, the only pro Brother Agsilaus!"

Leotizides jumped his feet and roared to interrupt his uncle’s words: "Agsi Laws, don’t think you are a lame, you can act as stupid! Listen, the holy Spartan law has already stipulated, as I, the only son of Achilles, deserves to be a king, don’t stop fooling around!"

Agassius turned his head and looked at the angered and corrupted Leotichides, with some contempt on his face: "Yes, the law is so regulated, but the prerequisite is that you are indeed the son of Akis! But I heard more than once that the person you called his father said,'You are not his son!'"

"You bullshit!" From small to large, there are always similar rumors that spread to Leotichides' ears, becoming a nightmare that troubles him, and also becoming a counterscale when he grows up, at this time his face swelled instantly Red, jumped up from his seat, rushed over, grabbed Agassius, and shouted angrily: "Damn lame! Don't think you are my uncle, I won't beat you!"

He tried his best to restrain the anger, and his teeth bite "giggling": "Listen, my mother knows the truth better than my father! Until today, she still said,'I am the son of the king! I am the son of Achilles! '..."

"Quiet! Quiet! The Senate Hall is a sacred place, no fights are allowed, otherwise you will be expelled!" Speaker Kleostida warned.

Agsilaus lifted his nephew's hand, his expression was calmer, he solemnly said: "Dear elders, you may remember the earthquake that occurred in Sparta that year, Achilles left his wife and led the guard It’s been almost a year since I went to the disaster relief. Poseidon’s anger filled the Spartans with awe, and the mystery also made the strongest testimony that Leotizides was not the son of Achilles! Time! Leotizides was born ten months after Achilles left his wife!"

As soon as he said this, if the elders thought about it, some people's expressions became solemn.

"You bullshit!" Leotizides jumped like a thunder again and was stopped by the guards who were already prepared. He could only roar with a force.

"Well, the candidate's statement ends here." Speaker Kleostida said quickly: "Do you have any words for the elders?"

Diopetis stood up and said, "You, as you know, before this meeting, I had been authorized by Paul Sanias to rush to Delphi on behalf of the Council of Elders and ask Apollo After taking the oracle, he warned us,'The Spartans want to beware of the king becoming lame!'. So I think Apollo has given us a warning, if you make Agsilaws king, you will definitely give Sparta Dar brings danger!" After he finished, he showed the sheepskin roll to everyone, and some elders nodded while watching.

Diopetti glanced triumphantly at Leshand, who was sitting in front of him, and then made a placating gesture toward Leotizides.

Agsilaus's face managed to maintain calm, but his hands were clenched behind him, because he occasionally glanced at his feet from the elders, and he subconsciously retracted his left foot.

At this time, Laishande stood up, his influence was big, and he focused on everyone's eyes at once: "As everyone knows, the oracle of Delphi Apollo has always been esoteric. If you only understand it literally, often The wrong conclusion was drawn!" Laishande looked around the crowd and said aloud: "At that time, King Lydia received the oracle of'a great country will be destroyed', thinking that Persia will be defeated, and instead his kingdom will be destroyed; Athens. Before the Persian invasion, if we really build a wooden wall according to the literal meaning, it is impossible to defeat Persia in naval warfare...so we should understand this oracle more deeply! If we choose The king is not the real blood of Akis, so we are proud of the double king system, the sacred blood lineage inherited from Hercules, don’t you lack legs!"

It should be said that Laishande's words were thought-provoking, and his influence caused the elders to whisper and talk.

Leotizides glared at Laishande, but he dared not yell at Agsirous as he did before.Although a few years after the end of the Peloponnesian War, his power was deliberately weakened by the council of elders, he is still a hero of the Spartan people, and his appeal is so amazing that he can be bullied by an heir to the throne.

Another Spartan king, Paul Sanias, has no obvious bias towards the two heirs of the Akis, but he is very hateful and wary of Laishande who once wanted to shake the "double king regime", so all Laishande supported He often objected.But in the election of the new king, according to tradition, another king can attend, but does not have the right to suggest and vote, because the reason why Spartan is a double king, is to achieve mutual checks and balances, so the king must avoid suspicion, Paul Sanias can only signal to an elder Hripidas he trusts.

The elder had to stand up in a hurry, and said stutteringly: "Sparta is now the Greek overlord, but if... King Sparta is... well... a person with a physical disability, it will only cause other Sparta's smirk secretly, thereby reducing their awe of Sparta, not to mention that Sparta has never had an unhealthy king! Never!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Laishande immediately answered: "Yes, Agsilaus is a lame. But he fights bravely and is upright. He has always been respected by our elders and the people. It is a traditional and pure. The Spartan warriors did not insult the reputation of the royal family! But please take a closer look at Leotizides, who do you think he looks like?"

Leotizides is strong and handsome, and looks more inherited from his mother, but under the guidance of Laishande's words and the influence of rumors, the elders look at him more and more like the handsome and athenian- Yasibid.

Seeing other people's sudden expressions, Diobetis was anxious and hurriedly said: "The rumors about the birth of Leotizides are just rumors that some people spread for their own purposes, and there is no conclusive Evidence! And... and in history our honest Spartans have never let false heirs cause the heir who has the first inheritance to inexplicably lead to the throne!"
