Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Although I have not become a legionnaire, I am a citizen of Dionysia, and it is our duty to donate to the Alliance to defend our homeland!"

"My husband died in Bruti. Several children are still too young to join the army, but my family has always been taken care of by the soldiers' committee. Today is the time for me to return them!

"I’m just a freeman, but I like the Dionysian Union, because only here will give us the poor opportunities and hope, so although I don’t have much savings, I am willing to donate part of it to the Union, hoping that it can defeat the enemy , Always exist!"

...

On this day, whether it is a man, a woman, an old man, a child, or a citizen, a freeman, or a slave, people of different identities come together for a common purpose and form several long dragons from east, west, south, and north Move in four directions to the center of the alliance-Victory Square and the Senate...

"Brother, you're back!" Kunatolata's youngest son Dika Okrat watched Sostatus, who was recruited into the Seventh Army and the company captain, walked into the house and couldn't help but be very happy. Excited to catch up and said: "Brother, your 7th Legion annihilated the Tarantum. This battle was so beautiful! You tell me the details of the entire battle!"

"I don't have time now, I will talk about it later, will you?" Sostatus stepped in and asked, "How about my father?"

"He went to the square and donated."

"I knew it would happen, and this old man didn't wait for me. At least two of them went together and could donate less." Sostatus complained, but the smile on his face was more like Ridicule.

Although his brother's previous answer disappointed Dika Okrat, in his mind the brother who had always got into the eyes of money just made him curious: "Brother, are you going to donate too?!"

"Of course!" Sostatus replied affirmatively: "Everyone else has donated, and I don't donate, which is too conspicuous! And, since you want to donate, you have to donate more, so as to cause His Majesty and his father. The attention of the elders. Brother, you know, if we win this war, there will be a large area of ​​land in the south waiting for us to occupy, and the prosperous commercial market of Syracuse will be taken by us..."

Looking at the excited and illusory Sostatus, Dika Okrat knew that the man in front of him was still the big brother he knew. He never changed, and the donation was just to get more benefits.

After talking about his vision for the future, Sostatus asked, "What about your sister-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law should be in the house..." As soon as she mentioned the sister-in-law, Dika Okrat's words became respectful, of course not because Sostatus' wife was very virtuous, but because--

"How did you come back, Sostatus?! Wouldn’t you be a deserter?! I heard from my father, but he wanted to beheaded when he was a deserter in our alliance! You hurry back to the barracks! I let your father and my father Let's plead with His Majesty Dapheus together!" This was a Lucania woman who came out of the main building and shouted in surprise when he saw Sostatus.

"I'm not a deserter, I'm--" Sostatus hurriedly defended.

Unexpectedly, his wife did not listen to his elaboration and strode forward, holding his ear with one hand: "You are going to lie to me again, aren't you?"

Sostatus immediately howled like a pig: "Oh! Pain! Pain! Tap..."

Dika Okrat couldn't help laughing when he saw this familiar scene.

After Kunogolata returned to Turiri, since his eldest son Sostatus was almost 30 years old and still single, he had been thinking about finding a relative for his elder son.

Just when he was still looking for a daughter-in-law, Sostatus knew his father’s plans and finally told him: He wanted to marry Hermon’s second daughter Krina.

Kunogolata was surprised, but he still obeyed his son's opinion.After all, intermarriage with Lucania was always promoted by the governor, Davis, and enjoyed many alliance benefits, and Hermon was the veteran of Lucaria, and the marriage between the two parties was also a good match.

Kunogolata was not a conservative person, so he quickly came to the house to raise relatives. Hermon could climb the powerful Greek veteran Kunogolata in the league. Of course, it was very desirable. Sostatus successfully married K Rina is a wife.

Krina’s good looks are not the main purpose of Sostatus to marry her. He valued Hermon’s influence in the Lucania region to facilitate his future business in the Lucania region.

According to Greek tradition, newly married couples should go out to live independently after they get married, but Kunogolata, who was once traumatized, now highly values ​​the family and does not allow Sostatus and his daughter-in-law to move out.

After getting married, Sostatus suddenly found that his wife was far more powerful than other Lucanian women, with a spicy personality and decisive work, which caused him to suffer from "wife fear".

In this regard, Kunogolata was happy to see the success, because the daughter-in-law not only handled the affairs of the family in an orderly manner, but more importantly, was able to get rid of this character and some traitorous elder son's obedience.

"I swear to God Asinu that I am not a deserter! It is His Majesty Daphus who brought us home. You can ask others!" Sostatus was anxious to explain, and in a hurry, he said the wrong thing.

"When did you believe in God Asinu?! Want to lie to me again, don't want to live anymore!" Krina's fingers pressed harder.

"Ouch! Pain! Pain!..."

Dika Okrat was so funny when he saw the couple's troubles that he stepped forward and persuaded: "Sister-in-law, it is indeed His Majesty Daveus who brought them back, because the soldiers also wanted to donate property to the Alliance."

In the face of the young uncle, Krina's attitude was much better. She let go of her hand and asked uncertainly: "You really want to donate, Your Majesty Davis made you come back?"

"Of course!" Sostatus rubbed his red ears and complained loudly: "Dare to doubt your husband's words!"

Krina ignored him at all and continued to ask: "How much are you going to donate?"

Although Sostatus wanted to donate more, he knew that his wife was even more courageous in doing things. At the moment when he hesitated, Krina had made a decision for him: "Then put you in Kris Donated all the money from Toya Bank."

Sostatus listened, jumped three feet tall, forgot his fear of his wife, and immediately cursed: "You prodigal woman! My money is nearly six Talent! Is it easy for me to make money?" You donate it all so easily!"

"What are you talking about?" Krina Liu raised her eyebrows, raised her hand, and immediately screamed again in the house...

The leader of the Second Army, Melisanda, was on his way to his home.His home is not in Turriy because he no longer lives with his mother and Phyllis. He is married and goes out independently.There is a twisty story about this marriage.

When Alsinis died in the Battle of Bruti, his will stored in the Temple of Hades was taken out (Since the establishment of the Temple of Hades, Plycines, on the proposal of Daveus, let the temple This function has been opened up, with the public's trust in the god and the power of the god, so that they can completely rest assured that the content of the will will not be leaked. Since Dionia is mainly a coalition formed by immigrants, there are fewer elderly people, so far The soldiers before the expedition had the most wills in the Temple of Hades. They did not know when they would die, so they wrote their wills before the expedition and stored them in the temple. They transferred the functions assumed by the army’s battalion to the temple. ).

Since Alcinis had no relatives, in his will he gave half of his inheritance to his newly married Lucania wife, and allowed her to divorce and remarry, and gave the other half of his inheritance to his friend-Meli Shanda, and hope that he can take care of her wife more before remarrying.

When Melissanda received this will, he cried into tears.

But what Alsinis did not know before his death was that his wife had just become pregnant before he went on expedition. Out of nostalgia for friends and fulfilling his will, 18-year-old Melisanda decided to take care of his wife He Puna, let her give birth to the Alsinis child.In frequent contact, Melissanda and Hepna, who are not much younger than him, had an affair with each other and finally joined together.After the marriage, Melissanda lived in the house where Amsinarala gave him to him.

Melisanda and the comrades of the Second Army, who also lived in Amendolara, talked and walked northward. After crossing the Sisno River, the sight that caught his eyes shocked them: the burned village, Deforested forests, ruined farmland, and clogged canals... Remnants of the scourge of the Tarantum soldiers can be seen everywhere. The soldiers all scolded the Tarantum people, and even regretted that they were too lenient in the war of yesterday. Instead, they should be killed one by one to relieve their hatred.

Fortunately, in the city of Amendola Lang was not damaged by any war. After entering the city, Melisanda said goodbye to his comrades and pushed open his door.

"Master, you are back!" the slave girl shouted excitedly.

"Where is your mistress?" Melisanda's eager gaze passed through the atrium and looked at the main building.

"The lady is praying for the master at the Altar of Hades! After you go out, these days the lady prays every day!" the slave girl said with a respectful expression.

Hepner was particularly concerned because her ex-husband Alcinis died on the battlefield.When Melisanda went on the expedition, she opened a special room in the courtyard as an altar for Hades, praying for her husband's peace every day.

"Oh, the old lady is here too. She has lived here all the time," the slave girl added.
