Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Yes, after Abenirum became the free city of Dionysia, we can not only freely participate in regional rugby and football games, participate in the celebration of Hercules, but also freely enter and exit Dionysia’s All towns, to trade the food and other goods we want... Later, when Abenirum encountered danger and difficulties, just like last year's drought, Dionia can also help Potentia Help us at any time..." Myonny also said excitedly.

Guerny was stunned, which was completely different from what he expected. He asked doubtfully: "You... don't you worry that Abenirum will no longer be our Abenirum in the future?"

"Boss, what's so worrying about! Looking at Potentia, it's been more than ten years, it's still that Potentia, but the people there are much richer than us! You know, more than ten years ago, there The Lucanians are poorer than us!..." Myonni said with emotion.

His words were recognized by others.

Guerny suddenly understood: In recent years, Dionia has repeatedly invited the Abenerum people to participate in the Dionysia Football Finals and other celebrations, which has broadened the horizon of the people who were trapped in the mountains. While enjoying the warm hospitality of the Dionysians, they also saw the wealth and strength of this southern neighbor, which not only let them release their guard, but also produced a yearning.Compared with the exclusion and oppression of Beneventum and other tribes, they are more willing to choose the Kingdom of Dionysia which is not of the same race.

Guerny thought of this, and he felt fortunate that he had made this decision in time, and he was somewhat lost. He quickly picked up his mood and said in a deep voice: "Myone, you immediately go to the messenger of Dionysia, to He explained that Abenirum was willing to become the Kingdom’s Free City and was willing to implement Dionysia’s plan immediately. But once the plan is implemented, I believe that other Hippini tribes will soon contact us to ask for their redemption People, so you have to negotiate with him, how to implement the next plan."

"Uh, there's--" Galney looked directly at Meyoni and solemnly reminded: "You must remind Dionysian messengers not to disclose the news that we have become the free city of Dionys because of this It will prevent us from attracting other Hippini tribes! And, we need military support from Dionia to defend against Benaventum and other tribes!"

"Leader, I remember, I will do it now." Myone got up and walked out.

……………………………………………

Quinduk is the leader of the tribal union of the Kautini tribe in the Naconia region. He has been sitting in this position for more than two decades.More than ten years ago, he led the Nakonian warriors under the orders of the then chief of the Cautini, and participated in the aggression against Potentia. As a result, he was defeated and captured, and he stayed in Dionia for two years. Many were eventually released home.

However, unlike what happened to Guerney, he still had the support of the chief, and soon again took the position of the tribal joint leader of the Naconia region.But a few years later, he was originally the most promising successor of the Cautini. He lost to Segowani and failed to become Cautini's new chief. It was mainly because Segovani used the wave Tentia's fiasco and the spread of "rumors" against him caused many tribes to give up their support.

Quinduk has been strengthening his contacts with Dionysia on the one hand because he has seen the power of Dionysia and believes that Cautini, and even the entire Samone, cannot match it; on the other hand, he He always has a grudge about his failure to be elected chief.Since then, he has never been to the city of Kautim, nor has he seriously executed any orders of Segowani.

With the establishment of the small town of Papania in Enona, the exchanges between Naconia and Dionia have become more and more frequent, not only in trade and employment, but also in cultural and religious exchanges. This has brought great benefits to the tribes in the Naconia region. The people can eat and eat without having to risk their lives every year. They are sick and give birth with the help of Hadith’s priest and Dionysian doctor. , Don’t just rely on praying to the gods...

The other Cautini tribes need to invade the Campania League from time to time to ensure the survival and development of the tribe, while the Nakonian tribes only need to develop silently. After seven or eight years, their population has increased greatly and food is sufficient. , With better weapons and equipment (Dionia did not prohibit the trade of iron and weapons with Naconia), thus becoming one of the largest towns in the Kautini region, no less than Kautim.

Therefore, the guilty Quinduk has repeatedly attacked Segovani’s risky practices of violating the Dionysian Covenant and looting the Campania League, and has never allowed Nakonian tribes to participate in this This kind of looting was not because he really wanted to make friends with the Kingdom of Dionysia and the Greeks. In fact, he never responded to Dionysia's participation in the Rugby Finals and other celebrations from Naconia. At the invitation, the Hades priest sent by Enona to the Naconia region was also secretly restricted, because he just wanted to regain the position of the chieftain, so he opposed Segovani everywhere and destroyed his prestige.

And the opportunity finally came.

Segowani once again invaded the Campania League, and was defeated by the Dionysians and captured himself.When the tribes of Kautini fell into shock and sorrow, Quinduk then jumped out and asked to immediately elect a new chieftain to help the entire tribe of Kaoutini overcome the difficulties.

However, the tribe headed by the leaders of Kautim, such as Usibic, did not want to allow the Naconians who had close ties with the Dionysians and even began to believe in alien gods. They first gave power to other tribes. For help, the meeting of the four major tribes was quickly held in Kautim, and secretly received the promise of the chiefs to "declare war on Deaulia and rescue the captive people".

Then, Usibic, together with the high priest and some other regional chiefs, made a statement: All the tribes of Kautini should now save their own people as the first task, and the election of the high chief should be backed out.

The quirky Quinn Duque could not see the response of other tribes, so he had to temporarily halt the flag and watch the developments.

The messengers sent by Caoutini to the peace talks were rejected by the Dionysians, which made Quinduk happy.But a few months later, the surprise attack on the Dionysian Downey area by the Samone surprised him.The news that Dionia agreed to exchange prisoners (including Segowani) made him even more angry.

But then the successive defeats of the Samonaite made him laugh again. On the one hand, he publicly announced: "Since the captive people have been put back, should the election of the chieftain be put on the agenda"; on the other hand He also quietly sent people to various regions to spread the news, saying, "The reason why Cautini suffered the previous defeat was because of the incompetence of Segowani's command... A person who has been captured is also eligible to serve as a major The leader?"... He applied the same tricks Segovani had against him.

Finally, this time the tribes responded to Naconia's proposal, began to discuss the matter of re-election of the chief, and finally set the location of the tribal gathering in Nola.

Quinduk is happy about this, because in the past, the location of the Kautini tribes was often located near Kautim in the eastern mountains, because it was the birthplace of the Kautini tribe, but Quinduk did not Too relieved, after all, it is too close to the location of the tribes ruled by Segowani and Usibic, and Lola is located in the western plains, close to Nakonia, which is more beneficial to him.

He was excited that this was the result of his efforts, but it was finally realized, which just shows that after experiencing repeated failures, the Cautini tribes have realized that they can no longer fight against Dionia, and The importance of his good relationship with Dionia is highlighted.

Realizing that he had secured the victory, Quinduk led the leaders of the other tribes of Naconia to Lola.

Since the leaders of the entire tribe of Kautini gathered with the guard to Lola, the city could not accommodate so many people, and most of them camped outside the city. Therefore, the Lola area has tents, cattle and sheep, and many people. And mixed, frequent conflicts not only made the Lola people feel headache, but also made the neighboring Campania League nervous. They strengthened their security while seeking support from Dionia.

In order to avoid accidents, the Lola people shortened the process of the large assembly. On the third day after Quinduk's arrival, the ceremony for selecting the chief leader officially began.

More than 100 leaders and tribal representatives (since the leaders of some tribes of Kautini are leading the intra-clan fighters to fight the Dionysians in the east of the mountain of Samone, unable to rush back in time, they can only send representatives) to the city Square.

Surrounded by order-keeping warriors, a wooden platform was set up in the center of the venue, where two people were seated, one was Signani, the joint leader of the tribe of the Lola region, and the other was Sego, the chief of the Kautini who had just been released. Wani.

Quinduk has been watching Segowani since he came to power. He has not seen Segowani for ten years. Compared with the arrogant image of Segowani when he was elected as chieftain ten years ago, this At that time, his face was old and thin, and his head was dragged down, and he seemed to be mentally decadent... It seems that he did not suffer less while he was a captive, which made Quinn Duke feel happy.

At this time, Signani stood up and said aloud to the audience: "Dear leaders, welcome to Lola! Today we are here, it is...for the sake of all of us Cautini A very important event! Let’s invite the chief of Segowani to announce!"
