After repeated requests to no avail, the Laos people tore off their disguised masks and brazenly launched an attack on the Rahe Fortress.
The Persianira River Fortress is located in a narrow area between the banks of the river and the mountains, and Laos is unable to take advantage of its many forces. But Taglu led more than 200 soldiers to defend stubbornly with a small but strong fortress.
In the afternoon of the **** battle, the Raos army still could not penetrate the fortress. After receiving a request for help from the Rahe Fortress, Nyutum Chief Executive Hemon led an urgently summoned reinforcement of nearly 2,000 civilian soldiers arrived in time.
The Laos people saw that the opponent was so powerful that they slowly receded...
…………………………………
At this time, there were beacon fires everywhere in Dionia, and the dark clouds of the war gathered more and more. The people of Turii were truly afraid. They often gathered in two places: One is the Temple of Hades, hoping to With the blessing of this powerful Pluto, the restless mood was comforted; the other place was the square in front of the Senate.
The people once again appealed to the Senate: Let the Archon Dafus become the king, because only in this way, Dionia can overcome this difficulty, Hades has already foreseen all this!
This time the public's outcry was obviously much greater than the previous two days. The senators in the Senate were panicked because of the continuous bad conditions, and the protests of the people made them even more confused about what to do. .
"Plessinus, see what you have done! Hurry up and stop your tricks, let the people of Turíy calm down, and restore order to Dionia, otherwise the Senate will not function properly. Everything It's going to be messed up!" Kunogolata finally couldn't help but angry at Plesinus.
"Master Kunogorata, be careful when you speak. This is an oracle from the **** Hades, a spontaneous appeal from the people, and it has nothing to do with me! Instead of arguing with me, you should be fine. Think about how to meet the needs of the people and calm their anger!" Plessinus, the priest in charge of the Temple of Hades, retorted boldly.
"My lords, it’s not a big deal to let Master Daves be the king. The position and role that Daves has assumed in the past few years is not playing the power of a king! That's just There is no name. Don’t you expect Master Davers to come back soon to help us defeat powerful enemies and save the Alliance?! In fact, since the establishment of the Alliance, Lord Davers has been us and the people outside. The greatest support! Now the brutal Syracuse people are approaching us, to make the Alliance the second Siritian, let us suffer the same sufferings as the Siritian people, Lord Daves who has Hades blessing is the only one of us What are you still hesitating about?" Mariji's seductive words shocked everyone's hearts.
Just when some elders were thoughtful and some wanted to refute, the gate of the venue was pushed open, and the captain of the guard ran in, with incredible excitement on his face: "My lords, Turi... Live here! Live in the picture!"
"What are you talking about...Turiy is alive? Speak more clearly!" Scombras yelled dissatisfiedly.
Kunogolata took a few steps forward, and asked in disbelief: "You mean that Tuli fountain is beginning to flow again?!"
"Yes, my lord! Just when the people shouted,'Let Master Daves be King', the Tuli fountain was resurrected, and now the spring water has flowed into the square!" The excited captain of the guard was not yet Forgot to add a sentence: "My lord, this is a miraculous sign!"
The veterans looked at each other and were shocked, including Mariji, Plessinas, and Kunogolata. We must know that in this age of worship, the most important thing for the Greeks is the omens. When praying to the gods, worshiping, coughing, windy, raining, thundering, etc., sudden abnormalities will be regarded as manifestations of the gods. After the well-known Turi fountain was burned down by the Crotones in the old city of Turiyi, it became a waste spring. Although most Greeks believe that the spring water is under the jurisdiction of the sea **** Poseidon, some people believe that the above-ground fountain should be controlled by Hades because it comes from the ground.
"Let's go, take a look!" Kunogolata couldn't hide the consternation and curiosity in his heart, and took the lead out of the Senate without hesitation, and the other elders followed.
The people who had gathered in front of the Senate’s door ran to the outer edge of the square to the left of the Senate, where the former site of the fountain in Tuli was.
The former Turiyi people attached great importance to the spring water that borrowed its name as the name of the city, and built a large pool for it. There are several vivid statues of spring goddess and fairy nymphs in the pool, clothes** , Splashing water and playful, fascinating, it has become a lively place for children to play in the water, old people to rest and relax, men to talk about politics, and women slaves to draw water. However, in a fire, not only the statues of the pool were destroyed, but the Turi Spring was also not gushing. There were rumors of free people that this was the punishment of the gods for treachery of the Turiyi people.
When rebuilding the city of Turiyi, as a nostalgia for the past, Heraclid asked the craftsmen to build a circle of stone walls to surround the spring, which looked like a well. Over the years, it has become the most inconspicuous existence near Victory Square.
Now, hundreds of people have surrounded the place, and the people who were worried about the safety of the alliance before are happy at this moment. Seeing Kunogolata waiting for the veterans to arrive, they immediately yelled: "Come and see, dear adults! The great Hades heard our call, and he responded!" /
"Even Hades agreed, let his descendant, our Daves, become king, what are you still hesitating!"
"Let Master Davos become king, we can get Hades's blessing, drive the enemy out of our homeland, and restore Dionia to peace!"
……
"Everyone, be quiet, let's take a look first!" Kunogolata said patiently and loudly.
The people quickly gave up a passage.
Kunogolata and they stepped on the water to walk in, and saw that the half-meter-high "stone well" had been filled with water, and the water continued to gush out of the well and flow to the Victory Square, forming a Long waterway.
Kunogorata reached in, the water was clear and bitter, and a strong upward force at the mouth of the fountain held up his palm.
Yes, the fountain in Tuli has come alive, this can't be a fake! Kunogolata retracted his hand and wiped it on his clothes.
"This spring water is really sweet!" Mariji took a sip of the water and praised it loudly, attracting other elders to follow suit.
Kunogolata looked at this quiet and clear spring water that could almost illuminate his own appearance, and his heart was really confused: Is this really the hope of the gods? !
But the people don't give the elders too much time to think. Looking at the eagerly anticipated eyes, the elders know that they must give them a clear answer today.
After a brief and intense discussion, Kunogolata announced to the people on behalf of the elders: "People of Dionia, the Senate has discussed and accepted your request to elect the consul Dave Siwei...is the king of the Dionian League, and of course, we have to ask for the permission of Daves himself!..."
The Kuno Gorata hasn't finished speaking, and the people have cheered: "King Daves will win!!!!..."
Back to the Senate, most of the senators were a little confused. Although Davos was the lifelong consul of Dionia before, after all, they are both senators in the Senate, and their status and status are similar. Now suddenly he is the king, and his status and status are much higher than those of their elders. This gap gives them a strong sense of loss.
Kunogolata coughed a few times and wanted to warn everyone to cheer up and have a serious discussion on the major issue of "Daves becoming king" and how to reasonably limit his power. But before he could say anything, the captain of the guard hurried in again.
Kunogolata's heart suddenly "cocked", and he heard him cry out anxiously, "My lord, some warships in Syracuse's fleet are docking on the coast north of Castellon. It is said that hundreds of people have landed, preparing to carry out a sneak attack on our coastal villages!"
Everyone was shocked, and the scene of the Crotone Fleet looting Dionia villages and towns back then was about to be staged again.
Fortunately, before this war, Daves considered the absolute superiority of the Syracuse fleet and thought that this might happen. Before he left, he ordered the Department of Military Affairs to do it according to previous experience. Some deployments have been made. For example, set up coastal observation posts on the east coast of Dionia, build simple defense facilities in each coastal village, and set up a small camp for reserve companies between several villages...
Before Kuno Gorata could make a decision, Capus stood up and said decisively: "I demand that the troops go ashore immediately to stop these Syracuses who have come ashore, so as to prevent them from causing damage to our people. Big loss!"
The elders had no objection to Capus’s request. In fact, he was the only one in the Senate at this moment who was familiar with Dionia’s unique tactics and was able to lead the war. At this point in the war, there were only a few senators in the Senate.
"It seems that we need to recruit freedmen again." Kunogolata's expression is heavy. At this moment, the source of Turrii citizens is almost exhausted. The only way to recruit freedmen in the port area is the number of freemen there. Except for the large number of sailors who served as the sailors of the Dionian fleet and the logistics of the army, there was not much left.
"We can also seek help from Castellon." Cornelus's reminder made Kunogolata's eyes light up: Yes, Castellon still has an army!
