Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Aprius was carried away by the guards, still struggling and shouting: "Don't lie to yourself anymore, Rome is over! This is Camillus' fault! Jupiter is on, save Rome! It’s all Camillas’ fault..."

After Aprius was taken out, the temple was silent.Some people clenched their clothes with both hands, and fear was hidden in their eyes; some people looked down at the ground to cover his red eyes...

Portitus and Maru Guinness looked at each other, and a feeling of powerlessness rose in his heart, but he suppressed this negative emotion, and said softly: "Ambustus, please continue what you just Issue."

…………………………………

After the triumphant end, Daveus prepared to convene a military meeting to discuss the next army's attack plan, but before the meeting, he first met a person.

"Sit down, Publius."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Pubrius was respectful and spoke fluently.

Publius is not the veterans on the Capitolin Hill. These days he has witnessed the sincerity of the civilians in the city of Rome, the escape of a large number of civilian soldiers, and the lovers and Etruria who came to Rome. The envoys of the city-states learned from the mouth: Wei Ai and Keslera were indeed captured by Dionysian, several Etruscan city-states allied with Dionysian, and then Surwater and Xhosa Surrender...even he learned that the Roman army that had fought in Ostia was eventually disbanded.

As the patriarch of a large Roman clan, he has been keenly aware that the Dionysians have established a foothold in the Latium area, and it is difficult for Camulus to recapture Rome.

In terms of feelings, although this made him a little frustrated, it was good news for the Manlius clan that had been forced to join the Dionysia side.

So, at the moment in the eyes of Daveus, Pulius sat very well, posing a gesture of obedient listening.

How much did he grasp the mentality of Pullius at this time, Davers smiled slightly in his heart and said: "I heard the Roman Chief Executive Asistes said that during this time you actively assisted the city hall and made Dionia The governance of Rome is more targeted, more efficient, and smoother."

"Master Yasistus praised me too much, I just made some suggestions, after all, I know Rome better." Puglius said modestly.

Daveus looked at him and suddenly said bluntly: "I think you, as the patriarch of Manlius and the veteran of Rome, whether you know this area or the ability to handle government affairs, are far better than Valks. , But he is now the administrative lieutenant of Rome, and you are idle, do you feel unwilling?

Pubulius jumped in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, my family and I are just your captives, and you can be forgiven. Thank you very much. Where else dare to look forward to other things!"

"You have joined the Kingdom of Dionysia and are becoming a citizen of Dioria. I want to use your savvy to understand the political system of Dionysia these days." Davers tapped the table with his hand. Looking at him, he said: "The elders of Dionysia gather elites from various cities and races of Dionysian. They can help me make laws and decision-making for the whole kingdom in the elders, or they can leave any city, Even the chief executive of a region alone manages the administrative affairs of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. While dedicating their dedication to the kingdom, they are also trying their best to protect the rights of the regions and races they are from. Rome is such a big city To be incorporated into the kingdom, of course, an elite who can represent the Roman people also needs to enter the senate and shout for their rights..."

"Your Majesty..." Pueblius was thrilled. He knew that the reason why Dapheus said this to him must have been expecting him, so he boldly asked, "How can I become Dionysian?" Where are the elders?"

"First of all, let go of your Roman nobility, no matter what kind of administrative positions you hold, try your best to serve the civilians in the city and win their recognition...I want to have the foundation laid by Marcus, which you can easily reach "Daveus said seriously: "Second, you have to give enough credit to the kingdom to be recognized by the Dionysian elders, so that when they are recommended, they will not be at least met by most of the elders. Against."

After listening to Publius, he immediately took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty wants me to do something, please order, I will try my best to complete!"

Sure enough, he is a smart man!Daveus greeted each other's eager gaze, Shen Sheng said: "Now there is a very important thing that you need to hurry up to do. The Etruscan city-state has allied with us, the Roman colony on the north has been completely cleared, we The north side is safe. Although the army led by Camillus has been disbanded, he still has a lot of soldiers and the support of the Latin allies. I don’t intend to fight them directly.

I need to send a messenger, while the Roman army is still in Satnikum in the southwest, go to the various Latin city-states in the south, and try my best to persuade them to leave the Latin alliance, sever ties with Rome, and ally with the kingdom. To further weaken the power of the Roman remnants..."

Daveus had not sent messengers before, but the effect was not good. The Latin city-state was still full of distrust to the outsider Dionysia, just like the previous Etruscan city-state, so Daveus Brought Pueblyus.

In recent years, Rome has maintained a strong position in the Latium region, the Latin city-states breathed their breath, and their high-level ties with these large clans of Rome often, and some even became relatives.

With a little calculation in mind, Pbulius asked: "What are the terms of negotiation?"

It seems to be a play!Daveus deliberately pondered and answered after a moment: "Our alliance treaty with the Etruscan city-state can be used as a model. Herney, you will show the content of the alliance agreement to Pullius in a moment."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Henripolis responded immediately.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to envoy the Latin city-state to the south." Puglius no longer hesitated.

"Very good!" Daveus smiled: "With you as the messenger, I believe that the negotiation with the Latin city-state will be much smoother. Let's go tomorrow. If there is anything you need to prepare before you leave, you can tell Geniperis. , Let him help you out."

Henipolis immediately nodded at Pubrius.

Puglius also hurriedly put a friendly smile on Genipris.

"There is one more thing." Daveus continued: "When we entered the city of Rome, the remnants of some Roman nobles occupied the Capitolin Hill. We have not yet attacked, mainly because we were busy stabilizing the order in the city at the same time. To take care of the emotions of the people in the city (in fact, the main reason is that Davies had to keep the enemies on the Capitoline Hill to attract Camillus’ army to attack the city of Rome. As a result, Camulus was not fooled, and His army was finally disintegrated, and his remnants were retreated to Satnikum to rest and watch his situation, and he could no longer threaten the city of Rome in a short time).

Now that the city of Rome has stabilized, capturing Capitoline Hill can save our troops and better manage the city of Rome.It is not actually because our Dionysian army cannot attack.The Kapitolin Mountains are densely populated. I just need to order the soldiers to use ballistas to throw the burning asphalt tanks at the top of the mountain without interruption.

Daveus spoke in a dull tone, but he made Pubrius hear the hairs upside down. Before, he had seen the terrible scene when the ballistas attacked the city on the west side of the city. He did not doubt its power. Hesitating whether to dissuade Daveus.

But listening to Daveus sighed and said with pity: "I heard that there are many women and children on the mountain, and there are many temples... Therefore, this is the last resort. I am going to send a messenger first Go up the mountain to persuade the surrender."

Daveus said that, but his eyes looked at Pulbius.

Puglius hesitated and asked with courage: "Your Majesty, if these people on the mountain surrender... what shall we do with them?"

Daphes knew what he was worried about: after the capture of the Roman aristocracy by Daonia, the main reason was to imprison, leave Rome, and become a slave...If such a disposal method is adopted, it is impossible for the Romans on the mountain. Surrender, because most of them are Roman elders and nobles.

Daphes smiled and tapped the back of his chair with his finger, saying, "I can assure you that as long as they are willing to surrender and become citizens of Dionysia, although they will be sent away from Rome, they will not be demoted. They are slaves, but they are dispersed and placed in other Dionysian territories, enjoying the same rights as other citizens of the kingdom."

Pueblius fell into thought, he was still hesitant.

At this time, Davers again said: "If you become a veteran of Dionysia, your immediate family will be allowed to stay in Rome, think about it, this may be the only Roman family left here!"

Publius was tempted again: "Your Majesty... Could you allow me to persuade the surrender after leaving the Latin city-state?"

Publius said that because of his consideration. He knew that these veterans and nobles on the Capitolin Hill were the most determined group of people who resisted the will, and would never surrender easily, leaving them sleepy on the hill. God, maybe it will reduce the difficulty of persuasion.

"Of course." Daphes promised, and said happily: "These two important things, you have boldly assumed the past, which makes me feel a lot easier! Next, let's talk casually. The elders of Rome, who grew up here since childhood, can you tell me in detail your views on these city-states and forces around the city of Rome?"
