Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

So, as soon as Aristotle had asked a question, he co-operated to tell the truth about his interaction with Polyx at the order of Dionysius.

Of course, Polyxes refused in every possible way, but the mood of the people who were not calm had erupted like a volcano.

"traitor!"

"Guess the traitor!"

"Hang him! Then let his soul accept harsher criminal law in hell!"

...

Not only was the common enemy behavior of Pollux made the people angry, but also because of the contempt for the ordinary citizens and the degrading of the foreign citizens in his letter, the people were angered. The whole square was suddenly lifted up like a calm sea. The storm, the monstrous waves came head-on, to destroy the temporary court.

Not only did Polexis and others tremble under such a powerful voice, but even Senior Judge Trito de Moss was nervous, because under the Law of Dionysia, Polyxis’ violations The death penalty is not enough. After all, Syracuse is not the enemy of Dionysian, and it is not in a state of war. As a veteran of the Senate, Polyxis has the legal right to propose a bill to convene a civic conference. After the jury declared its "guilty", in light of yesterday's trial, Trito Demos faced the anger of the people under the stage and even dared not make a final judgment. Instead, he frequently interacted with the assistant judge and public prosecutor Aristotle. Crates negotiated in a low voice.

At this time, the loud horn sounded.

The people followed the prestige one after another: I saw the gate opening of the senate, and the veterans headed by Davers stepped out of the parliament hall.

Under the guard's sanitation, Daveus walked down the steps and onto the wooden platform (because the wooden platform was built beside the steps).

Trito de Mos was busy approaching to salute, and was stopped by Daveus: "This is the court, you are the master here, I just came here to solve a little trouble for you."

Trito de Mos immediately understood what he said, and gratefully said, "Thank you for your help!"

Daveus looked back and saw Aristotle's respectful salute to him, so he patted his shoulder intimately and praised, "Aristotle, I didn't expect you to do so well!"

Then he saluted the members of the jury and thanked them for their hard work.

Then, his eyes glanced over a group of people on the dock. Compared with the dreaded and pleading eyes of Orifis, Marcy Sakus and others, Polyxis was completely broken in the jar, in the eyes of despair Pointing at him with a fierce light, he cursed and said: "Daveus, you are afraid that I will fight for more rights for the citizens and fabricate false evidence to frame me. One day people will find out who you are and you can't escape The fair trial of Hades!"

Deverus completely ignored his presence, and walked to the wooden platform. He stretched out his hands and pressed down virtually. A miracle appeared: the original "sea" that was screaming and the waves were returning to calm gradually...

At this time, he said: "Citizens of Dionysian! Dependents of Dionysian citizens! I am very happy to see so many people come here to participate in the public trial! This shows that you love Dionysian Alliance, caring about Dionysia’s legal system! Here, on behalf of the Senate, I would like to thank you all who have worked hard in front of the court for two days!"

After that, he seriously bowed to the people.

The people gave warm applause to Daveus' encouragement and compassion.

"The law is sacred, especially in the Dionysian Union, because Hades oversees what we do below!" Daves pointed to the ground: "We know that the citizens of the Dionysian Union come from All parts of the Mediterranean, from all races, because of different customs and cultures, there will inevitably be conflicts. The law gives Dionia the order and unites everyone together, so don’t protest the verdict made under the Union Code, Because if the verdict will be changed because of your anger, then one day, this kind of injustice may fall on you or your loved ones..."

The long-spoken words in Davos aroused people's deep reflection.Some people originally thought that Davos came to power to put pressure on Trito de Moss in order to aggravate his political opponent, Pollux, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Taking advantage of the calm of the square, Trito de Moss issued a verdict: Polyxes was guilty of several crimes, deprived of Dionysian citizenship, confiscated illegal property, and sentenced to 30 years in prison; Orifis, Massisaku Although veterans such as Sri Lanka accepted bribes from the Syracuse, there was no clear evidence that they had further links with Syracuse, plus the crimes convicted yesterday, they deprived them of their citizenship, confiscated illegal property, and imprisoned them for 20 years; Anilus, Euripps and other veterans were found no evidence of contact with the Syracuse, and based on the crimes sentenced yesterday, they deprived them of their citizenship, confiscated illegal property, and sentenced them to 10 years in prison...

Daveus's previous words worked. The people heard booing when they heard the verdict, but there was no further radical action.

However, at the moment, Polyxes suddenly broke free of the soldiers' control and shouted to the audience: "I am for you! For the freedom of the citizens! One day you will regret today's judgment!..."

His behavior was like pouring a pot of oil into the nearly extinguished stove. The anger of the people suddenly burned up again, and the screams hit the wooden platform again, and some people even spit on the platform.

The guards hurriedly drove Pollux and other prisoners to the wooden platform. When passing by Daphes, En Anilus did not dare to look in that direction until he got off the wooden platform and stood under the steps of the parliament hall of the Senate , Looking at the elders on the steps, Enanilus' heart was filled with endless remorse: just because of the moment of greed, he had more than ten thousand people, and the noble elders became the prisoners of everyone's swearing...

At the end of the public trial, a group of people such as Trito de Moss, Aristocratic, and members of the jury were evacuated from the wooden platform, but the people under the platform did not disperse because Davos on the platform also did not leave. They knew that the consul must still have something to say, so compared with the end of yesterday, the square gradually returned to calm.

Faced with thousands of expectations, Davos knew in his heart: What do the people of Dionysia want to talk to now?What do you want to get?

But first he wanted to start with another topic: "Polykes said just now that he did everything for the citizens of Dionysia. If he did not commit crimes such as illegal land occupation and restrictions on civil liberties, I would be very Glad to hear this sentence, because it is the duty of a qualified Dionysian veteran."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience, expressing their contempt for Pollux's ugly behavior of "saying a set, making a set", which diluted some of the impact of the previous cry of Polluxs.

"I am also very grateful to Lord Dionysius of Syracuse. In addition to the fierce battle with the Carthaginians, I also took the time to care about the political life of the people of Dionysia. I heard that the life of the people of Syracuse Not too wealthy, he didn’t need to waste a lot of money here. If it can be used on the people of Syracuse, it might make their lives better! The most important thing is-"Daveus sneered. , Said aloud: "He, Dionysius, the tyrant of Syracuse, the feces on his buttocks have not been wiped clean, what qualifications are there to dictate to our Dionysian Union, and disrupt the normal order of Dionysian! "

The ironic remarks of Davers made the people laugh.

"The Senate will send a messenger to Syracuse, to protest to Dionysius, ask for an explanation, and apologize! You may worry that this will attract Syracuse's hostility? I I can tell you clearly that Syracuse is indeed strong, but we are equally strong in Dionysia. Since the establishment of the alliance five years ago, we have not failed in a foreign war! Dionysius of Syracuse Sri Lanka is already struggling to deal with the strong enemy Carthage in the south. Is it possible to dare to risk us being caught on both sides and provoke the powerful us! Citizens, the Dionysian Corps composed of you is the real Dionysian The steel city wall is another extremely sharp sword. You are armed enough to dispel any city-state's ambitions for Dionia!"

Dave's words aroused the resonance of the people, and even aroused their courage and honor.

"Sir Daffers is right, our First Army is invincible, and not afraid of any enemy attack!"

"Our Second Army is not bad. As long as the Syracuse dare to set foot on the southern land, we will rush them to the sea to feed fish and shrimp!"

"In the mountains, no one can beat the Third Army, where we are the strongest!"

"Know that in the Dionysian Army, our Fourth Army is the only one with strong attack on enemy cities. We are the strongest in siege!"

"We not only have a strong legion, we also have an invincible commander! Under the protection of Hades, the Syracuse dares to come and fight us, it's simply a broken head!"

"Dionysian Legion wins!"

"Commander Wansheng!"

The quarrel at the beginning turned into a tsunami-like cry. At first I heard that the shadow of my heart caused by "the Syracuse was actually making trouble in it" seemed to be swept away.

Daveus pressed his hands down again, and when the cheers fell silent, he said quietly: "This time Poles, Enanilus and other veterans committed such a large crime and invaded Dionysia. A lot of public property, and a considerable number of Union public officials involved in this case, not only shocked me and the Senate, but also the people present, and even the entire Dionysian Union! This is me The dereliction of duty! The dereliction of duty of the Senate! You should be angry and blame the Senate! But after the anger, what we have to think is, how to avoid such bad incidents from happening again?"

Note: In the past few days, the brothers are discussing the problem of the population of Syracuse. According to the information I collected, Syracuse was at its peak, that is, in the middle of the reign of Dionysius, he not only won the majority Sicily also controlled Great Greece. In addition, it established a number of colonial city-states and indirectly controlled the Adriatic Sea. At that time, its population was about 2.2 million. Considering that Syracuse in the book is still in Dionysius In the early days of Slovakia, I halved it. After all, Sicily was his base and had the largest population. Historical data records that the population of Guangxi Syracuse is about 200,000.
