Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Daveus expressed his gratitude to the heads of the regiments. When it was Oliver’s turn, he bowed his head to look at the silver scepter, which was different in shape and length from the past. He also joked: "Your Majesty Since the drought, our treasury is tense, and I am worried that there will be no rewards for triumph."

Daveus's serious answer: "Rome has enough gold and silver, and there are very good artisans. Of course, if you care so much about the treasury, you can donate it to the finance department!"

"The finance department can't look down on this small piece of silver." Olivers said with a smile, but clasped the scepter tightly in his hand.

Sextus followed the regiment leaders on the platform, listening to the thunderous cheers of the soldiers and the people, and his mood was both excited and tense.

Daphes came to him and said with a serious smile: "Sextus, thank you for your contribution to the Kingdom of Dionysia! I feel very much for the Kingdom to have an excellent citizen like you Pleased!"

Daveus said, handing him the silver paper scepter.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sextus expressed his gratitude with excitement, and then took the scepter carefully, looked at it again and again, quite a little put it down.

"I look forward to the day the triumph is held for you!" Daveus encouraged again.

Daveus' words and this situation made Sextus's pride rise, he learned the other legion chiefs, with his feet together, holding the scepter in his right hand, and slammed his left chest vigorously. Onia military salute.

"Your Majesty!" The last general who came to power gave Daveus a military salute.

Daveus saw him with a trace of apology on his face: "Izam, this scepter should have been given to you already!"

Izam was straightforward: "As long as your majesty can always remember our mountain reconnaissance brigade, forget about our mountain brigade before."

Dave Haha smiled and handed him the scepter.

Ezham waved his sceptre in the direction of the soldiers standing in the mountain brigade under the stage, and when he saw the soldiers cheering, he said to Davers: "This honor belongs to our entire mountain reconnaissance brigade soldiers. . However, I think Prentals is more suitable for sitting in a carriage than I am."

Daveus said lightly: "I can remember Printors' achievements, so you should stop worrying about him."

After the generals and soldiers on the platform accepted the cheers on the square, Davis walked to the stage. Half of the 20 speakers behind him were Latin-speaking Greeks.

Daveus shouted loudly: "Whether it is a soldier of the Dionysian Legion or a newly joined Roman soldier of Dionyssia, it is precisely because of your heroic battles that you have won one victory after another. Held in triumph! The Kingdom thanks you, the heroic Dionysian citizens!"

"Wansheng!!! Wansheng!!! Wansheng!!!..." The cheering continued from the square.

"We traveled long distances and came to the bloody battle of Latium, mainly to make it the same as the rest of Dionysia, every citizen can own land, every citizen has equal rights, every Citizens can lead a good life with their families! To achieve this goal, you have made a lot of sacrifices, and this war is far from the end, and more sacrifices will be paid in the future, Dioni Citizens of Asia, are you afraid?! Will you shrink?!"

"No! No!!!! No!!!!"

Daveus nodded, and he shouted passionately: "As long as we unite and cooperate, not fearing challenges, any enemies will be crushed by us, and Rome will surely become a place of peace and wealth like South Italy! By then, Your merits will be engraved on the stone tablets and written into history books for the people to admire! And you will also receive the richest reward from the kingdom!"

Speaking of which, Davers couldn't help shouting, "Wan Sheng, the warriors of Dionysia!"

The excited soldiers immediately returned with continuous cheering, which also included many Roman civilian soldiers: "The Kingdom of Dionysia wins!!!!!!"

"Your Majesty King Davers! Victory!!!!!!"

...

This cheering echoed in the city of Rome, which made countless noble families listen overshadowed, and let Storo look at the square with a cane and standing in front of the window overlooking the square.

At this time, his wife Konya came over and hugged him tightly.

Feeling a slight tremor in her body, Stolo knew that his wife was afraid: these days, she had been worried that she would be escorted to the boat by Dionysian soldiers and escorted to a strange place like other Roman noble men. Leave her alone in this hostile city...

Not only did his wife think so, even Stolo himself once thought he would be caught by Dionysian soldiers and sent elsewhere.After the assassination of the temple, some people who resisted Dionysia were arrested one after another. As one of the planners, he thought he would suffer the same fate, although the soldiers patrolled the block where he was. , But no one has ever broken into his house.

Stolo has been thinking carefully and no longer interacting with others, and has been thinking: why is this happening?

He certainly wouldn't know that Davis maintained considerable interest and respect for him because he was a well-known historical celebrity.

He thought that the Dionysians must have known his special origin, waiting for him to surrender voluntarily like other Roman civilians.

But he will not succumb, because his father-in-law is still standing on the Capitolin Hill, and his father is fighting outside the city of Rome. If he surrenders, where will his relatives be placed!

"Stolo, there have been rumors in the city these days, our army has... lost, is this true?!" Konia asked with a trembling voice.

Stolot recovered, and immediately comforted her: "That was a large army of 70,000 people, much more than the Dionysian army, and it was also led by the dictator Camulus himself, even if there were really one or two. This failure will not have much impact on the entire army! This is just a rumor, want to shake our confidence, let us succumb..."

"But..." Konya was still worried. "The rumours of the occupation of Victoria and Casellera should be true. In the past two days, I have seen many Victorians passing by the door."

"Even if Wei Ai and Kesi Leila are really occupied by the Dionysians, there is nothing to worry about." Stolo continued to comfort his wife: "At that time, the Celtics occupied more towns, and in the end it was not the same. Was it repulsed by us! As long as our army is still there and Lord Camillus is still there, we will definitely be able to... finally drive away the Dionysians!"

Speaking of this, Storo quickly turned to the topic: "What do you eat at noon today? I am a little hungry."

"Since the barn and cellar at home have been ransacked by the damn Dionysians, what else is delicious! Every day, according to the number of people, so a little flour and a few dried fruits..." Ke Nia said aloud, her resentment towards the Dionysians was overwhelming.

"By the way, in the early morning, the Dionysians sent some river fish to come, and finally saw some meat, but the river fish is too smelly, and it is impossible to eat it. I have to go to the kitchen to tell A servant..." Konya finished and hurried out of the room.

Stolot's face was heavy again, and he stared out the window.

The triumph is over, and the Roman people scattered from the square are returning to their new homes in droves. Silio Hill is the most populated area of ​​Roman civilians. Even Stolo, who lives on the mountainside, can hear clearly.Whether it is arguing about the difference between the two triumphs, feeling that Sextus and Valerius have become one of the protagonists of the triumph, or talking about the speech of the king of Dionysia on the triumph... The same emotion was heard in the words-excitement.

Compared to the occupation of the Roman city and the defeat of the army, this is what worries him most-Roman civilians are identifying with the Kingdom of Dionia.

"Turn Rome into a fair, prosperous, and peaceful city?!..." Storo whispered this sentence: This is his ambition to become an adult, but he knows how difficult it is to achieve this goal, However, the enemies of Rome are now using these to win the recognition of the Roman civilians, which is simply unthinkable by the barbarous Celtics!Senior veterans, you know what you have been trying to stop, and now it is becoming a weapon to pierce your chest!

Stolo looked at the outline of the Capitolin Mountains in the far southeast, and an annoyed punch hit the window sill.

……………………………………

At this time, the Roman veterans, like Stolo, looked at the Roman Forum on Capitoline Hill. Because Capitoline Mountain is the highest in the city and not too far from the Roman Forum, they saw it more clearly, even You can also vaguely see the priests, idols, bands, generals in carriages, and soldiers marching in line...

Although no sound could be heard, the Roman veterans who knew more about the Kingdom of Dionysia knew what the Dionyans were doing: they even held a triumph in Rome!

What made them even more angry was that they saw a general wearing Roman armor and many Roman soldiers among the soldiers participating in the triumph. And in the end, in the cheering cheers on the square, they could still Hearing the Latin shouts, so before the triumphant end of the square, many veterans have silently left the cliff top.

The veterans were only fortunate: as early as a few days ago, they had sent soldiers to block off the area where the Roman Forum is best seen, and no people were allowed to enter.
