Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Although the bath is a little crowded because of too many people, it does not make people feel dull, because except for the thick and tall stone walls around the bath, the bath has no roof, which is conducive to the circulation of air, and even some people like to take a bath when it rains.

Polyxes looked at the crowded baths in the front, and said with some envy: "It is estimated that five or six thousand people come here to take a bath this day, but Daves made a lot of money!"

"Who did you not join when the governor raised the money?" Enanilus grinned at him, then dropped Bolton, took off his shoes, gave it to the slave, stepped on the smooth marble floor and strode forward Hot spring pool.

Polyxes hurried to keep up.

Enanilus slowly sat in the pool water. The proper water temperature let him breathe out comfortably. He picked up the spring water and completely wet his head and face.

The silhouette of people walking around in front of them blocked people's eyes. No one would notice that the two elders sat naked among them.

Enanillus closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the pool, seeming to be asleep, causing Pollux to swallow a few words to his mouth.

After soaking in the large hot spring pool for more than ten minutes, En Anilus came to a small pool next to it. The water was not deep, and the bottom of the pool was covered with sea sand.The other small pool is covered with pebbles, and another small pool is covered with river mud.

Enanilus simply lay down and rubbed his back with soft, fine sand... for another ten minutes or so, until his skin was flushed, he went out of the pool and called a bath slave to massage himself whole body.

It took another ten minutes before Enanilus got up, and after the slave paid the massage fee, he dragged his soft body and wobbled to a corner where no one was sitting on a bench by the window wall Go on, close your eyes and rest.

Polyx came to him and sat down, stretched out a lazy waist, and said, "It's really comfortable to take a hot spring bath! Don't even say, the bath built by Daveus really brought a lot to the Turiris. Great benefit! Why didn't we think of doing this in the past? Worthy of being a lord of God!"

Enanilus opened his eyes slowly, glanced at him, and said slowly: "Since you all know the power of Daveus, you still often take the lead against him in the Senate. Polyxis, I remember you did not So bold!"

Seeing that En Anilus finally spoke to himself, Polyx was relieved in his heart, but said with aggrieved face: "Of course I know that without Davers, the Dionysian Union would not have the status it is today. I also want to do something with Daveus, but he doesn’t give me a chance at all! He only values ​​his mercenaries who can only talk with their fists, so that they don’t know the word! The more brutal barbaric leaders, with an unpleasant smell, sat in the senate courtyard every day, shouting in Greek, which no one understood, and shouting! There was also Amendolara who was driven by us People wear the so-called "primitive citizen" badge every day and deliberately show off in front of us... and we are the real masters of the city of Turui, but now we can only stand by the side in the Senate! Me, Ophelis, Marcy Sakus...just wore the coat of the elders and showed them to the Turiris, in fact, there is no difference from ordinary citizens!..."

N'anilus glanced around, no one noticed the difference between them in the noisy and crowded baths, he reminded in a deep voice: "You are too excited, be quiet! Polyxis, you just haven't got on the wheel, Maybe next year, you will be the chief executive of a certain city."

Pollux sneered: "En Anilus, you don't need to comfort me, you don't even believe what you say. You think about it, a Persian can sit in the important position of commercial officer. I haven’t used rotation and selection for many years. Is my ability worse than him? I also served as the'Ten General' of Turrii many times. Even because I was idle in the Senate, sometimes it was sometimes Dave Spartan went to help this alien and was driven by him! Is the Dionysian Union the place where we, the real old Turuis, stay?!"

N'anilus opened his mouth and said nothing.

"Of course you might say,'You and Burcos, Ansitanos, and Placinas are all heavily used by the Senate.'" Pollux sneered: "How can Placinus compare with us!" He is nothing more than a civilian, and now he is completely a dog of Daveus. Daveus used him to make him bite. And Anthanos put all his thoughts on the book he was going to write. No matter what, in fact, he does not have any power. Burcos has been serving as an agricultural officer, but dealing with peasants and slaves every day, how many times can he return to the city of Turui in a month?! Sometimes even important senate meetings cannot be attended , Said to be a veteran, I look more like an ordinary Union public official. As for you-En Anilus, you are in control of the navy, but -"

When Polyxis said this, he paused deliberately.

Enannilus turned his head and asked, seemingly inadvertently, "What is it?"

Polyxes chuckled and said, "In recent years, Davos has allowed Gentiles to build shipyards in Turui, breaking your family's monopoly on shipbuilding. I don't know what you think?"

Enanilus frowned, slowly saying, "That's because... Dionysia's territory is too wide, and more warships are needed to protect our coast, and my family... can't produce as much in a short time. Warship..."

"Oh, you really care about the Alliance!" Pollux said sarcastically, looking at him sharply: "Unfortunately, Davis didn't seem to thank you. For the family of his second wife You get more warships than yours. What do you think of this?"

En Anilus was silent, and the embarrassment of his face was covered by the hot skin of the hot spring water. He was very clear: due to the monopoly of his own shipbuilding in the past few years, it led to the slack in management, which caused the completed warship to appear many times. Quality issues.To this end, Davers also talked to him separately a few times, so it was only afterwards that the Senate passed the bill "Allow merchants of the Confederate city-states to build shipyards in Turi" proposed by Davis...

"And... for the hero who captured the city of Bisinia, the flag bearer in the triumph, and Sekerian with his statue in the Hall of Heroes, a normal sailor quickly became you in just a few years. The commander of the squadron under his command often goes in and out of the Dave's mansion. What do you think of this?" Polluxs' ensuing question changed Enanillus' look.

"Daveus made you the commander of the navy because he had to use you. He has no men who understand naval warfare. But now he seems to have found it, and looks much more trustworthy than you seem! Enanilus, you Do you think that Davis still needs you, the original Turui noble who is out of step with his rude mercenaries?!"

Polyx's words biten Enanillus's uneasy heart like a serpent.

Polyxes kept watching Enanillus' face, and he sighed a long way: "If the old people in Turriy don't want to do anything, I'm afraid they can really only be the spectators in the elder's courtyard. Do nothing until you die, unwilling!"

Enanilus shook his fist and shook his head, saying: "Polykes, you don't understand the power of Daphes! Even the sailors composed of reserve citizens and freemen in the Dionysian Navy under my control I all regard the young man as the true commander, and I am only an executor. Not to mention the soldiers and generals of the Dionysian Army—"

"En Anilus, what are you thinking! I thought I was plotting to overthrow Daveus!" Polyxes interrupted him, shaking his head with a smile: "No! No! No! I'm not so stupid!" We must admit... Davos’ great contribution to the Dionysian Union. Without him, Turiri would have long ceased to exist. We are only asking for some rights for the citizens of Dionysian, while limiting Dai Firth has a little power and doesn't want him to casually neglect and dispose of us, the old men of Turui!" Pollux pointed to the men in the bath with a little excitement. "Do you think they don't want to participate in the civic conference? What is flowing in the blood of the Greeks is the enthusiasm to love politics and participate in politics, but the glory of Daveus has temporarily forgotten them, as long as someone keeps reminding them, like I have always done, then The situation will change a lot! Doesn’t the protests in the cities of Turiy, Crimea, etc. indicate that the situation has changed!......En Anilus, for ourselves and for Daioni Asian League, are you willing to join me in the Senate to continue to insist on'convening a civic conference' to make Dionysia's power distribution more fair?!"

Hearing the inflammatory words from Pollux, Enanillus' face changed, and he hesitantly said, "But... there are too few veterans who support this proposal in the Senate!"

"Actually quite a lot, I have already got support from some people..." Polyxes whispered into Enanilus' ear.

Enannilus looked in shock: "Really?"

"Like the last time I told you how to use liberation slaves to get more land, when did I deceive you!" Polyxis reminded.

Enanilus squeezed his hands in and out, and finally clenched his fists.

………………………………

"Dear veterans, I have a proposal." Pollux stood up in his seat.

Others saw this situation, suddenly a helpless expression of "again".
