lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

Although Daves and Achita did not participate, the victory celebration of Turri was still held, and the whole city suppressed their grief for the time being and celebrated the hard-won victory.

Especially the banquet held by the generals lasted until late at night. Ansitanos, who had no idea how many jugs of wine, slept until three poles in the sun. It was almost noon when he was out of the city, and he came to the empty camp of Daves. shocked. Fortunately, they saw the Tarantum reinforcements still stationed in the mercenary camp, only to know that all the mercenaries had gone to Amendorara.

The mercenaries have taken down the city of Amendorara! This shocking news shocked Ancitanos and Burcos again.

The group of them immediately accelerated to the north, eager to see Daves, and halfway, Ansitanos suddenly stopped the team: "We will go back immediately."

"Why is this, General?" Burcos asked puzzledly.

Ansitanos calmed down and sighed: "The mercenaries were so anxious that they captured Amendorara last night, and today even their slaves and luggage moved into the city of Amendorara. This What's the problem?"

Burkos let out an "Ah" and cried out in surprise: "Could it be... Do they want to occupy Amendorara?!"

Ansitanos nodded, and said melancholy: "More importantly--Achita also went to Amendorara. What does this mean?"

Burkos was reminded by Ansitanos and immediately woke up, and shouted in surprise again: "Does Tarantum support the mercenaries to occupy Amendorara?!"

"Maybe it’s just Archita’s personal wishes..." Ansitanos was comforting Burkos as well as comforting himself. He smiled bitterly and said: "If Tarantum really supports the mercenaries, we Turriyin can Reject? Tarantum and the mercenaries are the heroes who rescued Turey..." Ansitanos sighed again with worry on his face: "Ah... but from then on, Tarantum's forces can Just cross Heraclea and approach the Subari Plain!"

"Then...then what shall we do now?!" Burks asked anxiously.

"Of course I will go back to discuss a good solution, and come again..." Ansitanos said. From his helpless look, he obviously didn't think Turri would do anything to the mercenary's occupation of Amendorara. Method.

On the way back to the city, he has been muttering to himself lonely: "Oh... only half a year later, Turey has become like this... or the teacher is right, "War is about changing the rise and fall of a city-state. The fastest way', and what Turey lacks now is military talents like Daves and Aceta!..."

Hearing this, Burks remembered that he hadn't had time to invite Daves to join Turriy before. Now it seems that Daves would not agree even if he said it. He remembered again that his confidant slave Meadows led Davers to explore the scene of Amendorara. I am afraid that at that time, Daves had the idea of ​​this mountain city! Before the situation became clear, he actually started planning Amendorara and finally realized it. Is this luck? Do not! The victories in these two battles were won by his leading the mercenaries, and they were finally realized by his own step-by-step efforts!

Although the mercenary's act of occupying Amendorara violated Turri's interests, it was not clear to Burkos whether it was more resentment or more awe...

……………………

Daves is accompanying Archita on a tour of Amendola.

Achita listened to Daves's account of the attack on the mountain city last night, and at the same time checked the mercenary's attack route on the spot, and enthusiastically tried how to use the rope hook.

After entering the city gate, Achita saw most of the bloodstains along the way except for the three-step one post, five-step one post mercenary soldiers, their faces were filled with the same excitement as Daves And pride, he hesitated again and again, and decided to make a suggestion to Daves: "Daves...I think if your mercenaries want to successfully take control of Amendorara, it is best to get the consent of the citizens of Amendorara."

"Good! Good!" Daves responded.

Achita saw his perfunctory behavior, he thought about it, and he was ready to persuade him: "If a city-state wants to have a good order, it must not only have strict laws, but also have to abide by it. It will take a long time. The law will form a good tradition of the city-state, become the natural cornerstone of the city-state order, bring stability to the people, and bring development to the city-state. If it is destroyed from the beginning..." Achita stopped and pointed to the **** of the hill. Looking at the strangely-growing pine tree, he said meaningfully: "It's like this tree, which grows crooked at first, but later, even if it grows desperately, it can't become a towering tree."

Of course, Daves understood the metaphor in Aceta’s words, which made him fall into contemplation: Chinese historical tradition emphasizes results. No matter what method is used to succeed in the end, then everything he did before will be forgiven and finally That’s why there are popular expressions such as "the winner is the king and the loser" and "the power is urgently needed." But Daves, who graduated from the University of Political Science and Law in the previous life, knew that in the Roman Republic, known as the "son of law," hundreds of years of inheritance made its laws and traditions restrain the radical behavior of those in power later, even if there were continuous turmoil. As for causing great upheavals in the country, for example, Caesar who crossed the Rubicon did not let the army enter the city of Rome because it was a tradition; Antony, who loved Cleopatra, did not agree to her request and merged the Jewish kingdom into Egypt because Not prejudice to the interests of Rome is the duty of every Roman citizen. This is a tradition; Octavian, who holds the power, did not turn the Roman Republic into an empire all at once, because the Senate and the Civic Assembly are deeply rooted in the rights of Rome. He can only slowly change Rome’s power structure for decades like a day... But it was out of public intentions to be a guard commander and assassinated the extreme Roman emperor Ka, whom he had been guarding since he was a child. Ligula, in the end, has since established the bad tradition of frequent assassinations of Roman emperors by the Guards...

If Daves is just a leader who only cares about immediate interests and is happy for a while, but his ambition is not limited to a small Amendorara, Archita's advice is like a shock to wake him up: hire What the army does is not only to consider the feelings of the people of Amendorara, but also to be conducive to future rule; it also needs to consider the mercenary as an outsider rooted in Great Greece, and the feelings of surrounding city-states. The behavior of is obviously unwelcome, and it is extremely easy to be isolated.

Davers decided to change his previous practice of eager for quick success and quick gain. At the same time, this time of deep thinking also changed his later behavior and things, and began to think about the problem from the perspective of a real Greek.

"Akita, thank you for reminding!" Out of gratitude to Achita, Daves decided to put one of his ideas into action immediately: "I heard that the Pythagorean school of Not good."

Achita heard the words, his face darkened, and his expression complex said: "Yes. The people of many cities in Great Greece did not agree with the ideas of our school, and used various means to suppress the members of the school, making most of the disciples have to leave. In Greater Greece, I went to settle in Frios on the mainland of Greece. Now only Tarantum remains tolerant of the school."

"I agree with your school’s philosophy of'all things are counted'. I think that if you use'number' to manage city-states, it will be more refined and more efficient. And your school encourages self-control, abstinence, Purity and obedience, I also very much agree. At the same time, you dare to break the world and involve women in learning. That is a pioneering work!" Daves said sincerely: "If a mercenary becomes the master of Amendorara, I Members of the Pythagorean school will definitely be invited here to train students, establish colleges, and be funded by the city-state."

The reason why Achita confessed to the current situation of the Pythagoras school is because the Pythagorean school is well known in Great Greece, and Daves also expressed his favor with the school before. But I didn't expect Daves to have such a good impression of the school. For a while, I couldn't believe it: "You are true?"

"Should I swear to the gods?"

"On behalf of the school, I thank you for your support! I will tell the members of the school of your proposal as soon as possible!" Aceta said excitedly.
