Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Artili Cruz pondered for a long time before raising his head, staring at Daphes, and said: "I promise you, Li Jim will hand over the fleet to you, Dionia, and give full support at the meeting of the South Italian League. Dionysia’s proposal. Of course, you have to understand that this is not because you are my son-in-law, but because the heavy hit of Syracuse is what the Lijim people have always wanted to do!"

After sending away Attila Cruz, Daphes brought in an old friend of Dionysian, and now he was elected as the chief general of Trina Cipros.

When Daphes sought support from Cipros, he readily agreed.Not only because Trina and the Dionysian Union are now very close, but also have close business ties with the city of Knapetia and Bruti not far away, but also Trina’s need for its own security , Cypress said to him this way: "Master Davis, in fact, you are not used to get the support of Trina in advance, and your proposal will easily get the support of the city states of the Southern Italian League, because Crowe Tony, Silitine, Kaurnia and our Trina and Lockley alliance have been the enemies of life and death for decades. Over the years, they have become the biggest problem that haunts our several city-states. If we can solve him this time , We are too happy to be too late, how can we object?"

Sure enough, as Cipros said, next in this hotel next to the senate dedicated to receiving other city-state envoys and VIPs, a temporary emergency meeting of the South Italian League was held in the hotel. The other city-states agreed: When there was a war between Niya and Lockley, the Confederation of South Italians will form a large army to fight against it, and at the same time they are all ready to fight against Syracuse.

At the end of the meeting, it was already late at night. The generals of the city-states sent Daveus away and were preparing to go back to the hotel. He heard Lucias shouting, "Look at the sky!"

I saw a bright silver line drawn in the night sky in the southwest, and it was extremely dazzling on the dark sky.

General Pretinis of Silitine opened his eyes wide and took a closer look. He said disapprovingly: "Such a night view happens many times a year, nothing special."

"But that happened in July and August, and it was rarely seen in September." Lucias said

"It's really rare in this season." General Folinis of Kaurenia said solemnly.

"This is a good omen!" Ciprous shouted excitedly: "Perseus is the hero Perseus. He beheaded the murderous and sinister Medusa. Now we are finally determined to dictate the tyrannical Di Onusius declared war to eliminate this tyrant who has threatened the safety of the great Greek city-state and the people for more than a decade. Isn't that what the hero Perseus expected?"

"Cyprus is right. As long as our Southern Italian alliance is united, its strength surpasses Syracuse, and we can, like Perseus beheaded Medusa, hit Syracuse and restore Sicily to Greece. The independence and freedom of the city-state!" Artili Cruz inspired.

Some other city-state generals were thoughtful and nodded, as if they would reduce the tension of a possible war with Lokri and later Syracuse...

…………………………

Daveus was very tired when he got home, but after hearing the arrival of Aristilas, he was still struggling and met him in the study.

"Adult, the person who booked the room for McGallis, we have found out that it is a businessman in Lockley, who often goes to Turri to buy wine, so the owner and waiter of the hotel are very familiar with him. However, it is a pity that he had left Turrii nine days ago and returned to Lokri." Aristilas reported.

"The Lockley businessman... hum, it really didn't injustice it." Daveus sneered.In fact, if you think about it, you will understand that Lockley is very suspicious.This is because since the Polyx case, the Turiris and even the entire Dionysian people have been vigilant against the Syracuses who entered their territory.On the contrary, the attitude towards Syracuse ally Lokeri is good.

"Is there any progress in the investigation about that woman?" Daveus asked again.

"It has been investigated clearly. She was a concubine of a former Crimea nobleman who was sentenced in the case of Polyxes not long ago, and she came to Turui with several convicts from the previous case. Family. Lord Matonis has sent someone to find them and arrest them."

Crimea again!Daveus felt that he should write a letter to the Chief Executive of Crimea, Protsilaus, to let him strengthen the management and rectification of the Crimea's original inhabitants.

At the same time, he was thinking about whether to propose an additional inspection department for the Senate to lead and coordinate the patrols of various cities, increase the maintenance of urban order, and arrest criminals...that is, increase The status of the patrol makes it more professional, rather than always let the civics take turns.

Thinking about this matter repeatedly in his mind, Daveus came to Christoya's bedroom unconsciously. When he noticed it, he hurriedly gestured to the outhouse and prepared to exit lightly.

At this time, Kiritoya's voice came from the back room: "Is it Davos?"

"Why don't you sleep at this late hour? It's not good for you and the children in your stomach." Davers murmured softly.

"This happened today. If you don't come back, how can I fall asleep!" Kristoa's sly tone revealed a deep concern: "I want you to sleep with me tonight."

"Okay! Okay..." Daveus walked into the back room and sat down beside the bed: "Do you think I'm fine?"

Azuna hurriedly lit the candle, and then went to heat the hot water, washing Dave's face and feet.

Christoia moved her round belly carefully, leaning on Davos, arms around him tightly: "I heard you were attacked by... an assassin, but it really scared me and Agnes. Alright! Thanks to Hades’ blessing!"

"Yeah, thanks to Maltius! He's still lying in the hospital, unconscious!" Daveus sighed and said in hate: "So this time the senate decided to deal with Lockley and Thira Kuza retaliates!"

"That means... there is war again, and it is with Syracuse..." Kristoa heard this, her body shivering, and said with some concern, arms crossed Daphes more tight.

Daphes gently stroked her spine, comforting her and saying, "Don't you know me yet! When did I lose to war! ... But then, when you have children, I'm afraid I can't Is by your side."

The loss on Christoya’s face disappeared in a flash, but instead he comforted Daveus softly: "You don’t have to worry about me, there are Asuna, Aegis, and your students ( (Refers to Helps and they) come over regularly for consultation, I will give birth smoothly, just like last time. But you have to protect yourself, in case you if you... you let me, Agnes, Xiaoke Luo, Cynthia, Adores, and the children in the belly, all the people who love you and depend on you?" "Here, her voice choked.

Daphes can only hug her and comfort her softly and say, "Relax, I have Hades's blessing, and there will be no danger! And this time the Senate has added another hundred to me for my safety. Guarding, the defense will be more strict. Only in this way, our family will not be able to go to the Turiyi market easily. You remember the last time we..."

Christosia's snoring sounded softly, and she didn't know when she was asleep. Daphes lay her flat, gently covered the quilt, staring at her slightly wrinkled face, depressed in her heart. An idea is expanding rapidly at the moment...

……………………………

The second day was the beginning of the Dionysian Football Finals. Turui did not stop because of yesterday’s events. It was still held on time as usual, and the people sat the stadium early.

As the hustle and bustle began to fill the huge arena, the people saw that they were worried that the consul appeared in the VIP seat overnight, and waved to the surroundings with a smile, all the rumors were unbreakable.

The people cheered loudly, and the entire arena began to boil.

……………………………

While the Dionysian people in Turui cheered for the opening of the rugby finals, the emissaries sent by the senate, Frog Leone, had already taken a boat to Lockley.

At this time, Frau Leone was already a mid-level judge of Dioria. He had just stepped down from his position in Amendolara and was waiting for a new appointment in Turri.The senate appointed him as a messenger to go to the office of Lockley, it was because he was not weaker than Aristotle's eloquence and speculation. At the same time, he was smoother and more experienced in doing things. The time in Dionysia's public office was longer than that of Biarrish Docrates.

Frog Leon is willing to obey, not that he does not know the danger of this trip, but it is also a great opportunity to show himself and attract the attention of the elders, especially the governor Daveus.Intermediate judges are already the highest positions that coalition citizens who are not veteran elders like him can hold in the public office of the judges, senior judges can only be held by veteran elders, while higher-ranking judges are consuls. Davers serves concurrently.Next, he will continue to serve as an intermediate judge in other cities or transfer to other positions. It will be possible for him to enter the ranks of the elders who are elected to prepare for elders five years later.Through his excellent performance, he must increase the possibility of becoming a veteran of the senate.

Locri is located in the southern part of Italy closest to the "toes", next to Ligim.It neither occupies a fertile flat plain such as Subaris and Crotone, nor does it have a great geographical location, but it uses its relatively favorable position near the main trade channel of the Strait of Messina. The west coast of this Italian toe established the two colonial cities of Mdema and Hippion, which happened to be on the trade route to Central Italy, the most prosperous trading center in the Tyrrhenian Sea region. .Lockley opened an ancient road, connecting the east and west coasts, and through decades of devoted operation, he finally made himself a famous maritime city in the Western Mediterranean, and then became a powerful state in Great Greece.
