Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Oh, no wonder such a handsome! If I had a daughter, I would marry him!"

"Don't dream! That is His Majesty Davis's eldest son, the future king, and you want to be the prince's father-in-law in your capacity! Prince Crotocatax's future wife must be the most precious lady in our kingdom. Or a princess from a foreign country!"

But obviously, the girls of Laos do not agree with this. Dionysian women are different from other Greek city-state women. They have always been known for their passion, openness, and boldness in the Greek world, and Laos is more ethnically mixed. The living environment made the girls more unrestrained and enthusiastic. They took the initiative to throw petals at the young prince and even shouted his name intimately.

The first time Croto Kataks experienced such a scene, it was a little embarrassed and shy, which made the girls cheer with excitement.

"Your Majesty, Prince Kloto is more popular with the Russian people than you!" the accompanying Tolmed quipped.

Dave Haha smiled, but did not respond, but instead made Croto Catax more embarrassed.

At this time, some of the people on the roadside asked in doubt: "Who is that fierce looking old man beside His Majesty Dapheus?!"

A vicious old man?!Tolmed's face is not good-looking, he feels that he is in his fifties, and he is still very young, not to mention that there are not two scars on his face, how can he be considered a vicious look?!

Henripolis gave a rare laugh.

Some of the people in the crowd said: "That was Tolmid, the staff officer of the Kingdom's Military Department, the hero who had followed His Majesty's expedition to Persia!"

Tolmed can be sure that the person who said this must come from the early establishment of the Dionysian team officer, or even a former mercenary comrade, otherwise how could ordinary people know that the status in the kingdom is not prominent, also He rarely showed up in front of people, and as far as he knew, there were records in the staff of the staff that some retired military team officials chose to settle in Laos.

He immediately looked at the crowded people on the roadside. For a while, he did not see a familiar face, but he heard someone shouting, "Who is the general who is with his face mask and his face clear?" it's wired!"

Tolmid "haha" twice, it was his turn to watch the excitement.

At this time, some people in the crowd shouted loudly: "Citizens of Laos, do you remember who gave up the privileges of a lifelong governor and offered to merge Laos into the kingdom to make us free from oppression? Life?!"

"It's kind Lord Hanipolis! Don't forget, most of the arenas, baths, and libraries in Laos City were built by him with donated money!" another voice shouted.

At that time, when discussing the incorporation of Laos into the kingdom in the Senate, it was considered that Leshan was once the private property ruled by the Hippopolis family, and it was also the first initiative to request the incorporation of Dionysia, which was given to other allies. As a reward, the Senate passed a bill: 2% of Laos’ annual tax was given to Genipolis (of course, Davis played a certain role), but Geni Polis donated all this money to Laos for public works to repair and build to make up for his mistakes.

"Yeah, I remember when Lord Henripolis was the governor of Laos, he wanted to give us more rights and freedom, but his uncle led a group of nobles and leaders against him. He almost murdered him..."

"We should have thanked Lord Henripolis for a long time, we owe him too much!"

"I heard Lord Henripolis was the clerk of His Majesty Davis, should he also be in the team?!"

"Master Henripolis!"

"Master Henripolis!!"

"Master Henripolis!!!"

...

The cheers from the roadside gradually converged into the same voice.

Hernipolis's mood fluctuated sharply, and she looked at Davos gratefully: "Your Majesty, thank you!"

After following Davos for so long, he can of course guess that the people of Laos will eventually show such a consistent scene, and there must be an intelligence department to promote it.

"This is what you deserve!" Daveus said earnestly: "Even if I did not do this, the people of Laos have never forgotten what you have paid for them. It is time to forget the mistakes of the past and see your hometown People in order to better communicate with and help them in the future!"

What Daveus said gave Genipolis courage. He nodded, took a deep breath, and took off his mask and helmet.

"It's Lord Henripolis!!"

"Master Henripolis wins!!!"

...

Greater cheers erupted around.

In the cheers, Daveus said softly to his son: "Ordinary people are easy to be satisfied. As long as you have done good things to them, they will always keep in mind and ignore the mistakes you have made... "

Cloto Katax listened to his father's teachings and watched the surging crowd on the roadside, his eyes sparkling with envy...

"Your Majesty, Ariandos is here!" Martius, the court's chief guard, hurried over, reminding him.

Daveus looked forward, and saw that the city's chief executive, Eleandos, led a group of officials, walking against the marching army, and hurried towards them.

"It seems that we are moving too slowly, and Alliandos waiting at the city gate can't wait." Daveus turned his head to look at Henripolis and smiled: "Or maybe he wants to see it earlier You, Heny."

Ali Andos, the native general that Avinojis trusted at the time, was the most loyal minister of Tornado, and Henipolis.After Laos was incorporated into Dionysia, in order to stabilize his political situation, the Senate also elected him as a veteran. According to a special act of the senate at the time, "Elders of the newly joined city of the kingdom should not immediately serve as the chief executive of the mother city. "This aspect is to avoid suspicion, and also to better manage the city and allow the city to integrate into the kingdom more quickly.Until ten years later, Laos has been confirmed by the Senate that its people have been fully taken care of, and the city is located in the hinterland of the Kingdom. There is no danger and its development is very smooth. This lifted the ban on Laos. , Ariandos was able to successfully serve as the chief executive of Laos, of course, Hipolis also contributed a lot.

Henipolis also recovered from the excitement and said with a smile: "When we haven't set off, Eliandos wrote to tell me that he heard that Your Majesty is coming, both excited and nervous, Officials who want to lead Laos to hold a grand welcome banquet for you, but fear that you will refuse to criticize him..."

"Eleandos continued the policies of his predecessor and made some improvements. Laos has developed very well in the past two years. This is also inseparable from the efforts of Laos officials. I’m tonight’s banquet Will definitely participate, but don't be too extravagant and wasteful." Daveus smiled and gave a positive answer.

Although the "Dionysia Military Law" stipulates, "Don't hold or participate in banquets during the army's expedition." But Davies is very clear: he is not only the army commander, but also the king of Dionysia. For some political tasks, whether it is to commend the achievements of Laos officials, or to show the affinity of the royal family and win the hearts of the people, he must attend.And since he became King of Dionysia, he has never officially inspected other cities in the kingdom. Laos is the only kingdom city to enter on his expedition to Latham. He participates in banquets and enjoys with officials and citizens. It is very meaningful for many ordinary officials and people who have not seen the king to put forward some of their expectations for the kingdom, officials and citizens.

…………………………………………

Just as Daveus led the army to Laos, some soldiers of the 3rd and 2nd Cavalry Corps who had been ordered had already taken a passenger boat, left Naples, and sailed into the port of Selsche, an important town in Walsey.

The high-ranking Walsey executives who saw him saw a ship full of soldiers docked at the pier, as if they had given a strong shot to the Romans who had been worried about the offensive of the Romans. They all said: "It seems that the Dionysian Army What Chief Amintas said is true, they are really ready to attack Rome and save us Walsey!"

As a result, they were even more enthusiastic about the soldiers of the Diorian Legion who landed.

Amintas, the head of the first legionary army who received the news, also came from the legionary station to greet his comrades.As soon as Lizaru, the head of the Third Army, landed, he greeted him eagerly.

"Head of the Armintas!" Lizaru saw him and quickly marched.Although the military positions of the two are now at the same level, when he first joined the Dionysian Army, Amintas was already a senior team officer of the Legion. Not only are he senior, but he is also outstanding in the Dionysian Army. His prestige is far from what he can compare, so no matter how reckless he is, he also shows due respect.

"Finally, I'm looking forward to your coming! This period of time is really worrying about me!" Amintas threw a punch in Lizaru's chest excitedly, grinning: "Finally, the war is about to begin! Lizaru!" , Hurry up to gather your legion and follow me to the barracks. Let's discuss and discuss how to fight the next battle."

"Okay." This is in line with Lizzaru's temperament, he did not like to entertain, and he managed to deal with the senior Walsey senior who came to greet him. He led the Third Army and some soldiers of the Second Cavalry Corps. Mintas went to the barracks station.

During this time, as the Romans focused their attack on the Helnikians to the east, the Roman army that had originally been in the territory of Walsey retreated, and the war between Walsey and Rome temporarily subsided.After that, because Walsey sent troops to rescue the Helnikians, the entire territory was empty, and after discussing with the leader of the First Army of Dionysia, Amintas, the Argentas agreed to the camp Move north to bring more Wals villages under its protection.At present, the Dionysian Barracks are located in the northwest of Setia, only 20 miles away from the city of Satnikum where the Roman heavy troops are stationed.

Therefore, Amintas asked Lizaru to lead the Third Legion and the Second Cavalry Legion to march as fast and secretly as possible, not to be discovered by the Romans on the opposite side.To this end, he also sent people in advance to inform the First Cavalry Corps to drove out the Roman scouts and spies in order to block the camp's news.
