"It seems that Daves, who is blessed by the gods, has created another miracle!" Archita sighed sincerely. There is no jealousy in his eyes, but more curiosity: "I want to know how Daves won Turiyi’s!"

Marigi told them briefly about Amendorara's battle, and emphasized that Amendorara was a night attack, and the Crotones were too proud and defenseless. Not only did they fail to build the camp seriously, they were also drunk and so on. To alleviate their surprise.

But the veterans of Tarantum were still shocked by Daves’ military talent. Obviously, the young archon defeated the Lucanians last time not by fluke, nor did they rely mainly on Tarantum. Reinforcements.

The elders of Tarantum became more cautious about the messenger from Amendorara.

Yomakas, one of the consuls, said: "Amendorara, now that you have won, what are you doing in Tarantum? Is it to show off your record?"

"The Amendoras have always respected Tarantum, who once saved us! I never dared to think about it!" Mariji saluted respectfully, and then said: "I came this time because I lost my home. The Turyic people formed an alliance with Amendorara, so they must revise their covenant with Tarantum."

"What did you say?!!!" There was an uproar in the Senate: "The Turyi formed an alliance with you? What alliance?"

"Couldn't it be your Amendorara who seized Turri's land by force? Just like the mercenary leader who seized Amendorara!" a Senate veteran said loudly.

"I protest this lord's statement!" Mariji exclaimed angrily: "You said this not only is an insult to our consul! It is also an insult to Amendorara! I can hardly believe this is from The mouth of Amendorara’s closest ally!"

"Master Diomilas, what you said is wrong! On the day Amendorara held the citizens’ assembly, I was there and saw the people of Amendorara warmly inviting mercenaries to become Amendorara. The scene of a citizen!" Achita took the initiative to stand up and defend Amendola.

Although Achita endorsed Amendorara, Diomilas still retorted strongly: "If it weren't for Amendorara's coercion, why would the Turei people choose to alliance with the weak and poor Amendorara? Instead of the rich and powerful Tarantum?"

"Diomilas was right. If it weren't for the threat of force from Amendorara, the Turyes would definitely choose Tarantum!" Many elders immediately agreed.

Tarantum people feel so good about themselves! Mariji sneered in his heart, and immediately wanted to refute, being pulled by Ansitanos, he stood up and said gently: "Dear veterans of Tarantum, my name is Ansitanos, originally from Turri. General, I have visited Turey many times, some of you should know me, like Lord Umarcas, Lord Dixitimas..."

The elders named by him had to nod their heads.

"As a Turiyi, I can swear to Apollo that Amendorara did not threaten Turiyi with force! On the contrary, when Turiyi was captured by Crotone, the Turiyi even had When he thought that he was abandoned by the gods and gave up the fight, only the weak Amendorara did not succumb to the powerful Crotone. Even if the enemy army pressed the land, he still adhered to the covenant with Turri! When Turri was killed! Burned, the Tury lost their homes, the threats of injury and hunger, and the Amendoras came in time and selflessly helped us! Seeing the brutal Crotones commit the burning city-this kind of in Greece Unheard of crimes in human history, snatching all the supplies that the Turyians depend on without any punishment. When they left, no city-state in Great Greece came out in time to stand up for justice. Only the weak Amendorara dared to attack and fight. The mighty Crotone, our enemy of Tury, also avenged the Tury!

Which other city-state can do all that Amendorara did to Turri? ! The Turyis regard the Amendoras as their heroes to save them, and they also regard the Amendoras as their relatives. Therefore, they are willing to have a consul and a Senate together with the Amendoras from the bottom of their hearts. , To share the rights and obligations of citizens, just like brothers in a family, regardless of you and me, this is a natural choice of us Tuliyi people! ……"

After listening to Ancitanos's affectionate words, the Tarantum Senate fell into silence, and some people even felt ashamed.

After a while, the governor Umakas said in a cold voice: "Amendorara and Turriy have become an alliance, and their strength is much stronger than before. The prestige of Amendorara alone can make other city-states. Don't dare to infringe, it doesn't seem to make much sense to talk about alliance with Tarantum again."

Mariji put on a sincere face and said, "Before I came, Master Daves told me again and again,'Tarantum reached out to help when Amendorara was the most difficult. It was Amendo. Lara’s great benefactor! Amendorara will have any changes in the future, but the gratitude to Tarantum will never change. I hope to be a long-term alliance with Tarantum, always friendly, and have the opportunity to return in the future. This kindness!'"

The Tarantum Senate became quiet again.

The other consul Dixitimas stood up and said: "Now, please leave the two envoys from Amendorara and Turiyi temporarily. We will discuss the alliance."

…………………

"Everyone, it is said that Daves, the Archon of Amendorara, is a very young man. Young people are often energetic and full of ambition. He was a mercenary leader more than half a year ago. Now he is two. The city’s life-long consul, such a fast promotion and expansion rate, is very similar to the man in Syracuse, Sicily! So I don’t trust him very much!” Diomilas expressed his worry: “ I'm afraid that Tarantum will form an alliance with them today, and one day they will turn their heads back and deal with our Tarantum!"

The words of Diomilas caused the elders to laugh: "Diomilas, you are too timid! Only the three or four thousand citizens of Amendorara, and Turiyi The remaining thousands of people may not add up to 10,000 people. Tarantum will be afraid?!!! Are you really a Tarantum?!"

"Whether Amendorara and Turri can survive Tarantum's anger is a question. They still have time to think about other things?!"

Amidst the ridicule of the elders, Diomilas sneered: "Everyone, when Turriy was founded, our ancestors in the Senate of Tarantum were ridiculing like you do today. What was the result? I was defeated twice by the Turiyi people in a row! But it seems that we who have suffered a loss have not learned our lesson!"

The veterans heard what Diomilas said, and some were thoughtful, while others looked calm, cursing: "The original Turii had strong support from Athens, otherwise the ultimate winner would be Us! The current Amendorara and Turri are far from being compared with the former Turri, Diomilas, if Tarantum even has to worry about this, then we are still here. What are you doing, it is better to emigrate as soon as possible!"

"I’m reminding everyone that Tarantum needs to be vigilant against Amendorara! Amendorara has such a terrifying consul with military talents, and now it has merged with Turri, and it will develop in the future. , It is very likely to become a strong state in the northern part of Great Greece and cause trouble to Tarantum. In order to prevent such a situation from appearing, we do not need to support it, but intentionally restrict its development!" Diomilas Persuaded patiently.

Achita stood up immediately and said loudly: "Since Lord Diomilas is afraid of Amendorara, then he should form an alliance with them, because Dafus always keeps his promises, no matter if it is from the past. When Iraq hired, Turri was defeated horribly and faced the danger of being surrounded by the Lucanians. He still led the mercenaries to stay and turned defeat into victory; it was the Tarantum army that forced them to the city and still did not give up the alliance with Turri. All this shows that once an alliance with Amendorara’s new alliance is formed, Daves, as the life-long consul, will not only harm Tarantum, but they will lend a helping hand when Tarantum encounters difficulties one day! "

At this time, Dixitimas said in a deep voice: "Achita is right, elders, don’t forget what is the biggest threat to our Tarantum? It’s not Amendorara or Turie. , But the Mesapis who surrounded Tarantum! The Mesapis were difficult to deal with. The **** Athenians taught them heavy infantry tactics and armor making. Now they are getting harder to deal with each year. Look at how many people they kill and destroy our farmland every year! Our roots and temples are here, not in Amendorara, not in Turei! You know there is only one city in Tarantum, and the Mesapi people However, they occupy most of Apulia. If they are allowed to develop in this way, I am afraid that in the future, the Tarantum people will lose all the land outside the city and be trapped in the city. This is the past few years we have advocated the establishment of The real reason for the Great Greek Defense Alliance! Amendorara and Turriy became an alliance, which is a good thing! In the future when we encounter difficulties, they can give us more help! So, why not align with them? What?!"

The veterans had a long silence, and most of them looked serious.

Therefore, the proposal of "Tarantum and Amendorara-Turie Alliance to form an alliance" was finally passed. When the two sides concluded the alliance, although Tarantum promoted this new alliance to an ally of relatively equal strength, he still proposed that Tarantum would take the lead in future joint military operations.

Marigi and Ansitanos raised no objections, so an agreement was reached.
