Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

At this moment, the guards outside the gate shouted loudly: "The leaders of Numbia are here!"

Then dozens of poorly dressed Numisbians walked into the compound uneasy.

The generals knew why there were so many tables.

Daphes stood up and said with a smile, "Welcome, new friends of the Kingdom of Dionysia! Please sit down!"

As soon as Dapheus finished speaking, the next Genipolis immediately translated aloud. He did not speak Numbian. He spoke Carthage. Over the years, he assisted King Daphes to study about Carthage. Ji’s information began to learn the language of Carthage by himself, and now he speaks fluently. The Numbians have been under the rule of Carthage for a long time, and most leaders speak Carthage.

After Henripolis finished the translation, Daphes immediately began to applaud, and the officers applauded successively under his leadership.

The leaders of Numbia felt the kindness given by the Dionysians, and were slightly relaxed in their hearts, and each seated under the guidance of the soldiers.

After seeing everyone sitting down, Daphes picked up a glass of wine and said aloud: "Today is a very commemorable day! Under the excellent command of our generals, under the heroic battle of our soldiers, With the cooperation of our new friends in Numbia, we completely defeated the army of Carthage! From now on, we will no longer defend, but attack! Attack again! So for this glorious victory, we did This one!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

...

All the generals were excited, holding up the wine glasses, even like Matonis and Olivers, they also knocked on the table with their hands, loudly noisy.

After listening to the translation of Genipolis, the Numisbian leaders also raised their glasses.

Everyone swallowed it.

Daveus immediately filled another glass, and then said: "This second glass of wine, we want to respect the new friends of Numbia. In the past, Dionia and Numbia were very strange to each other because they were so far apart. Before this war, we both fought each other many times. Of course you were under duress from the Carthaginians and you had to do it. But there is an old saying in the east called'Don't fight and don't know each other'. The two of you in the war finally came together. In the case of no cooperation in the past, you trusted us unconditionally, took great risks, and successfully implemented the plan in today's battle, which made our victory come. It's easier, and there are fewer casualties! I thank you all on behalf of Dionysia!

And I assure you in the name of Hades that I promised you that your promise will not change!Dionysia is going to be a long-term ally with Numbia, and for this we have a cup!"

After listening to these words, the leaders of Numibia finally let down their hearts and stood up with their wine glasses excitedly, and said with a trembling voice: "Okay!...Okay!..." Finish.

Daphs then picked up another glass of wine and said seriously: "Although we have won a big victory this time, Carthage is still a powerful city-state, neither we onionia nor Numbia. To relax our vigilance, we should continue to strengthen cooperation, continue to launch offensives, and defeat the Carthage completely, in order to ensure the safety of Dionysia and the freedom of the Numisbians will no longer be taken away! , We did this!"

Everyone at the meeting held up a glass of wine and swallowed it.

Daveus couldn't help but hiccup a wine burp, wiped off the wine foam around his mouth, looked around the people, and said with a smile: "Today is a day of great joy, I wanted to respect everyone a few more glasses of wine, but I fear you criticism I said,'I have been fighting for a day, my stomach is hungry, how can I drink enough to drink'. So then you open up to eat, due to the short time, the conditions are limited, the dishes are not very rich, but there is Carthage Let us do the military food transportation, we have no limit tonight!"

The officers understood the ridicule in Daveus's words and laughed.

Hernipolis worried that the Numisbians would not understand when translating, and also added his own instructions, so that the Numisbians would also laugh heartily.

In order to let the Numisbians relax, Deverst told Henripolis in advance: Do not add water when preparing wine.

So Turi wine is very sweet and delicious in the mouth, but the three large glasses of wine are drunk on an empty stomach, and many people are already a little drunk. The previous restraint tension is gradually thrown behind the head, plus it is really hungry, one Grabbing the food on the table, eating and drinking.

There was a chewing sound in the courtyard, and the atmosphere began to warm up.

Although Davers is also a bit hungry, he has been paying more and more attention to body care in recent years and has been chewing slowly.

After a while, a Numisbian stood up, braved his drink, and said aloud in Carthage: "Honor... Honorable King Dionia, we believe in your commitment to us, let us The Numisbians can regain their independence! But...but we have completely betrayed the Carthages, they must hate us very much, and the greedy Carthages have always coveted our land, even if this Once I chose to retreat because of the defeat, but our tribes in Numibia are still very weak compared to Carthage. When Carthage recovers from the defeat, they will definitely revenge us. By then, Dai What can Onia do for us?"

His words aroused the resonance of some Numbian leaders, and they responded one after another.

After listening to Henripolis's translation, Daphes didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically: "Are you from East Numbia or West Numbia?"

"I come from the Salmu tribe in East Numibia, and I am the chief's son Krieger."

Daveus nodded. This time he asked Geniporis and Tolmide to invite the Numbians who participated in the banquet to be either tribal leaders of West Numbia or among the tribes of East Numbia. Influential figures.

Daphes was very clear: Carthage had a tighter control over East Numbia than the West Numbia, and the oppression was deeper. This also made the East Numbia be very afraid of Carthage. When sending spies deep into the Carthage Battalion and attempting to unite the Numbians, the West Numbians acted more aggressively, and today they are the first to launch a rebellion. Although the East Numbians have a larger number, they Not much response, of course, also related to their different establishments in the Carthage army. Finally, I saw the main force of the Carthage army-the Iberian army was completely defeated, and the soldiers of the Dionysian army were killed. When he arrived, he started the rebellion hurriedly, more like a helpless move to save himself.

Davers understands this relatively well, and he said gently: "By this cooperation, both of us believe that we already know each other's sincerity, and we have a common enemy, so why don't we continue this cooperation , Let Dionia and Numbia become a long-term alliance?! Whether one year or five years later, as long as there are other forces who dare to attack one of our two parties, the other party will take the initiative against that force. Declare war, the two sides work together to defeat the enemy, how do you feel?"

"Building a long-term alliance?" Krieger thought for a moment and smiled with relief: "This is a good suggestion! In this way, we have nothing to worry about!"

"It's good to be a long-term alliance! I agree!"

"agree!"

"When are we allied?"

...

Many Numbians expressed their excitement in agreement.

At this time, another East Numibian stood up and raised the question: "Dear King Dionysia, we East Numibian live in the interior of Afrikaans, and the coast is carthage and Phoenicia. The Cypriot state is in control, and you Dionysia are far away in Italy and Sicily. Once the Carthaginian army invades our territory, we will not be able to tell you the news in time, and when you know it, I am afraid it has already Many tribes have been captured and destroyed by Carthage, so it seems that becoming an ally has little effect."

The excitement on the faces of the Numbians was quickly fading, especially the East Numbians. The words of this fellow made them suddenly realize that becoming an alliance with Dionysia does not seem to relieve the danger they face .

Dave Haha smiled and said aloud: "You don't have to worry, after destroying the Carthage army on Sicily, Dionysia is not going to stop there. We are also going to log in Afrika and attack Phoenicia of Carthage. Kemeng and finally attacked Carthage.

Only by completely defeating Carthage will this greedy city-state sign an agreement to return your land and release your fellow men enslaved by them.

At the same time, we in Dionia will also build several towns on the coast of Afrikaans, so that we can monitor the Carthage nearby, strengthen ties with you, and at the same time conduct fair trade with you. Improve your life..."

Speaking of which, Davers found that these Numbians were staring at themselves, and their faces looked excited again.

The surrounding Dionysian officials were all surprised. After all, Davis's plan was not disclosed to others except for part of the notification to Hepolis.However, people like Amintas and Matonis also have bright eyes, because this means that even if the war in Sicily ends, the war will continue and they will have more opportunities to make contributions.

Daveus immediately said: "Of course, our Dionysian army is completely unfamiliar with Afrika, and you need the full assistance of Numbia, working together to finally force the Carthaginians to surrender!"
