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

"The highest authority in Athens and Amendorara is the citizens’ assembly, which allows all citizens to participate and decides on the city-state’s legal, military, diplomatic and other important affairs; Athens has a system of'ten generals', and Amendorara has The two consuls manage the internal affairs of the city-state in peacetime, and serve as military commanders in wartime. They are elected by the citizens' assembly every year; Athens has a meeting of 500 people, and Amendorara has a 100-member Senate, and its members are also held by the citizens' assembly every year. Select, propose bills, be responsible for the implementation and trial of city-state laws, assist the consul in managing the city-state, and general foreign affairs. It also has an important task of reviewing and providing candidates for the consul.

Originally, the election of the consul was held in June every year. I applied for it, nominated by the Senate, and elected by the citizens' assembly. But now, Amendorara has gone through wars and is waiting to be rejuvenated. It is urgent to elect a consul and lead the people to rebuild their homes, so an exception is held today. I would like to invite the former mercenary leader Daves and the main team officers to come to the stage to discuss together and list the candidates for the consul first. "As soon as Cornelus spoke, the new citizens (former mercenary soldiers) in the audience became a little impatient.

"What candidate to choose! The consul of Amendorara can only be our leader of Daves!" Someone shouted loudly in the crowd, and the new citizens immediately agreed.

"Yes! Except for the leader of Daves, we will not choose anyone else!"

"Only Daves can lead us to continue to create miracles!"

"The Daves leader is a victorious commander. With him, we don't have to worry about failure!"

"Head Daves becomes the Archon!"

"Davers!"

"Davers!!"

"Davers!!!"

……

Thousands of nearly 3,000 new publics in the venue shouted Daves's name unanimously in a spectacular manner.

Cornerus encountered this situation for the first time, and he couldn't help but panicked, and immediately cast a glance at Davers in the audience for help.

Davos smiled and said to Asistes, who immediately ran to the back of the square.

Soon a high-pitched brass trumpet sounded over the square, immediately causing these former Daves mercenary soldiers to immediately restore silence, and other mercenaries gradually stopped yelling.

Corneiros was secretly surprised by Davers’ powerful appeal: It seems that Davers is definitely a consul, so another consul should be from the original Amendorara citizen Election is appropriate.

Cornerus was thinking anxiously about how to speak. At this time someone in the crowd shouted: "Brothers, although we have elected Chief Davos as the governor, don't forget that he has to talk to Another person shares the power and will elect a new consul next year. Who else can be better than Chief Davers! Who can perform miracles better than Chief Davers! Who else can be better than Davers! The leader is more able to direct the battle! Who else can be more favored by the gods than Daves!"

"No one!!"

"No!"" The new citizens clamored again.

"Are you willing to let a stranger and incompetent person rule you?!" another person shouted.

"No!" This is exactly what the mercenaries worry about.

"Brothers, think about it. Is democracy really good? Think about Athens, once the most powerful city-state in Greece, but it was destroyed by a group of incompetent politicians. Think about us again. The city-states that Nemesis passes through are also democratic systems, and their governance of the city-states is very bad. An army must obey the command of a wise general in order to be able to win the war. If a city-state wants to be strong, of course it should also follow This is the truth. Brothers, in the past year, we have experienced a lot of difficulties, but we have also gained a lot of knowledge. We have seen the vastness of the Persian land, the hegemony of Sparta, and Turiyi because of it. Being bullied...Are you willing to enjoy freedom under a democratic system while being bullied to live, or are you willing to grow stronger under the leadership of Davos?! Soldiers, tell your choice!" Looking at the crowd Olivers raised his arms and shouted, Daves nodded imperceptibly.

"Daves is king!" There was a loud shout from the crowd, and Cornelus and the other five people on the stage, as well as the original citizens of Amendorara, were shocked.

Sesta and Adrianx both turned to look at Daves not far away, and the high-ranking mercenary team officers such as Antonios, Capus, and Amintas around him. The look is calm. If they are more familiar with Daves, they will find that the people who lead the soldiers on the square are Hilos, Matonis, Olivers and other people from the Hiros squad. Sesta and Adrianx looked at each other, and then fell silent.

With that loud shout, the entire square fell into a terrible silence, but soon the new citizens also began to shout: "Daves is the king." The more magnificent.

Cornerus looked at each other with five others. One of the old people wanted to rush out, but was held back by the left and right, and finally he gave up. Facing the crowd of thousands of people in the audience, no one dared to summon the courage to greet him and shout: "You are wrong! Amendorara will never allow anyone to be elected king! Amendorara’s laws are not Allow! The citizens of Amendorara will never allow it!!" The reason why they were able to live until now, instead of being killed in the hands of the Lucanians like other citizens of Amendorara, is because they were not brave enough. , Which is why Davers picked them. Most of the original citizens of Amendorara in the audience were old, weak, sick and disabled, and were neither willing nor able to confront mercenary soldiers.

Cornerus suddenly regretted that he had agreed to let the mercenaries join Amendorara, but the current situation no longer allowed him to think about it. He once again turned his pleading gaze to Daves.

Davers sees that the time is ripe. Walking on the stage without hurriedly, the new citizens saw his figure appear on the wooden stage and became more emotional, shouting in unison: "Daves is king!"

"Davers, King!!!"

"King Daves!!"

……

Cornerus gave Daves a complicated look, and walked away from the middle position.

Daves faced the dark crowd in the audience, the boiling voice almost burst his ears, his hands pressed down with a calm expression...

The square gradually returned to calm.

"Soldiers, no, you should now be called citizens of Amendorara! When I left Byzantium, I said to the team officers,'I will let you become citizens of the city and own your own land. "In less than two months, my promise was fulfilled. You have won today with your sweat and blood, and your fearless fighting spirit! This is what you deserve. Congratulations-Amendorara’s new Citizens!!!"

"Wansheng!"

"Wansheng!!" The new citizens in the audience cheered excitedly, and some even shed tears.

"Thank you very much for your trust and to elect me to be the king of Amendorara. For me, being king does not mean that I have great power to oppress citizens and gain for myself Interests. It means that I have to take on a greater responsibility to let the citizens of Amendorara live a happier life, and make our city-state stronger and free from being humiliated by others! Although I have the confidence to do so. , But—" Daves paused for a while, and Cornelus's heart was so nervous that he was about to jump out of his throat.

"I still want to apologize to you, I can't be this king." As soon as this was said, the others on the stage breathed a sigh of relief, and the new citizens in the audience were in an uproar.

"Why?!" The new citizens asked questions.

"Because almost no city-state in Greece today adopts the royal government system, even Sparta has a dual-king system (not counting Macedonia, the Greeks did not regard it as a Greek city-state). Wang government is not affected at this time. Welcome to the Greek city-states. If I became the king of Amendorara, then Amendorara would be rejected by the great Greek city-states. For Amendorara to develop, it would need to trade with other city-states; Amendorara would To be strong requires alliances with other city-states; and once Amendorara is isolated and has no allies, all good ideas will fall to nothing. Even more frightening is that Amendorara will be attacked by the Greek city-states that hate the royal system. So for the sake of Amendorara, I cannot be the king!"
