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

The council has actually taken action. General Gorkis led 1,000 soldiers to be deployed along the coast, always on guard against enemy ships on the sea. But after all, there are few villains in Castellon, unable to fully monitor the coast, and the cunning Castellon sailors often sneak over from the Dionian territories on both sides of Castellon's territory, making them impossible to guard against.

Today, several generals including Amiklis and members of the council are still holding an emergency meeting to discuss how to completely resolve the Syracuse naval attack.

"To the players of Dionia!" a member of the assembly exclaimed.

"Ask for help?! Dionia is hard to protect himself now, have you forgotten, they wanted to recruit sailors from us before!" Another councillor said dissatisfiedly.

Just as everyone was discussing, but at a loss, the guards pushed the gate of the meeting in a panic: "My lord, a passenger ship came from the port, saying that it was a messenger from Syracuse and brought Syracuse. A letter from General Dionysius, the plenipotentiary general, requesting...friendly...friendly talks with us."

As an alliance of Dionia, according to the covenant, Castellon is not allowed to conduct foreign affairs activities with other city-states, especially during the war, and is not allowed to conduct separate meetings and negotiations with enemy countries.

But when the guards finished speaking, there was a strange calm in the venue, and no one shouted angrily: "Kick out the Syracuse!"

All of them looked at each other with complicated expressions.

After a moment of silence, a congressman cautiously said: "I think... it's okay to see..."

There was a soft coughing and swallowing saliva in the venue, but no one spoke aloud.

The face of the chief general Amiklis, who was watched by everyone, was also uncertain.

At this moment, the gate of the venue was pushed open again.

The guard rushed in and exclaimed excitedly: "The Archon of Dionia Daves is back!"

………………………………

On the first morning of December, when the territory of Crotone was still rainy and the Syracuse people were still worrying about their camp, the area of ​​Turíy was sunny and the people swept away. The sorrows of the past gathered outside the north gate of Turri with expectation, and the team extended to the west. This huge crowd also included a group of senators such as Kunogolata and Cornellus.

It’s not because the weather is good and everyone is in a good mood, and they ran out of the city to gather, but because the Archons of the Alliance of Dionia, the military commander who led them to victory, and the descendants of Hades favored by Hades— —Davers is coming back soon, everyone is looking forward to it with excitement!

At this moment, a scout rushed from the west, shouting loudly: "Master Davos led the 1st and 2nd army is more than three miles away, they will be here soon!"

As soon as this statement came out, the Dionian people became excited. Many people couldn't help but follow the scout to the west, hoping to see the returning archons and relatives earlier.

When the sun in the east has escaped the temptation of the sea and began to show its own light, the sound of rumbling footsteps has already been heard from the west. The first thing that appears in the eyes of the people is the bright red Union flag, which is also in the alliance. The only red flag on the flag surface is the striking pattern of "black hair entwined with double-stranded crosses". The next thing that appeared in the eyes of the people was a military flag, but on the top of the flag was a huge golden statue of Hades, with a striking gold inscription on the black flag: Dai-Fu-Si.

One red and one black, the two flags are extremely dazzling in the sun.

The people began to boil, and the oncoming team also sounded the vigorous "Victory March"...

Along with the banner, there is a guard of 300 consuls, followed by consul Daves. Usually in the marching state, Daves is located in the center of the queue, which is convenient for understanding the status of the whole team in time, but after knowing the actions of the Dionian people in advance, in order to ensure that the advancement of the army is not hindered, he chooses to go. At the head of the team.

People rushed in like a tide, and the soldiers of the patrol couldn’t stop them. The guards immediately formed a barrier to protect Daves in it, and the people surrounded him again, and everyone held their hands high, as if Only by touching his body can I feel comfort in my heart of fear during this period of time.

"Master Daves, you are finally back. We have been waiting for you very hard!"

"Master Daves, did you know? The league was terrible during the time you were away!"

"Did you know?! We lost to the Syracuse in the battle, killing and wounding thousands of people!"

"Master Daves, the **** Tarantum betrayed the covenant, captured our allies, and looted our land. They destroyed the farmland of Amendorara!"

"Master Daves, we take care of the Bruti so much, but they betrayed us when we were most difficult! You must find a way to punish these rebellious Bruti!"

"Master Daves, I am from Crimea. The alien cavalry hired by Syracuse burned our village and massacred the people who could not hide in the city. They are a group of cannibal beasts. ! When will you drive them away and give Crimea peace and peace!"

"Master Daves, I live on the south bank of the Crati River. These days Syracuse’s fleet often landed on the coast and raid the village. Our village was too close to the coast and was looted by the Syracuse. , Many of my neighbors have died in the hands of the enemy... You must give us revenge!"

……………………………………

The call contains true feelings, just like a crying child's joy at the return of a loving mother; the call is full of expectation. It is the child in difficulty seeking help from the Yan father...

Daves listened, his expression heavier and heavier, tears gradually filled his eyes, he said affectionately, "People of Dionia, my brothers and sisters, follow me to the square. ! Go to the square, I will give you an answer!"

After listening, the people actually reminded each other "Stop making noise", and at the same time shouted in unison: "Go to the square!! Follow Master Davers to the square!!!..."

Thousands of people calmed down, no longer blocked the road, but followed the army into the city...

This is our Archon! Seeing this situation, Kunogolata was full of emotion: You must know that these veterans are also working hard for the alliance every day, but when they really encounter difficulties, the first thing the people think of and look forward to is the young consul in front of them! And Daves is also the only person who can soothe the restlessness and anger in the hearts of all the people. All the elders are covered by his dazzling light! From this point of view, it seems natural to let him be the king...

Kunogorata watched Daves approaching in a mixed mood.

"Master Kunogolata, Master Cornellus...you have all worked hard during this time!" Daves sat on the horse and thanked the elders sincerely.

"Lord Archon, thank you for repelling the Samonais. We all look forward to your return!" Kunogolata and other elders also respectfully responded.

In this situation, it is not convenient for both parties to say more, so they followed into the city together.

Although Daves led the two legions to a big victory, but at this moment is still in the war, the alliance is also at a time when the storm is precarious, the Senate did not hold a triumphal ceremony for them, and Daves did not apply. But when passing the first Arc de Triomphe, the soldiers raised their heads amidst the exciting music and straightened their chests.

And the people gradually discovered the anomaly in the army that returned triumphantly: in the center of the team there were more than a dozen panniers, loaded with spears, javelins, shields, armor... style and Dionysian The army of Asia is somewhat different. Behind the pack wagon, thousands of naked men were lurched forward by the soldiers, and their appearance was different from that of several races in the Dionian League...

This makes the people who feel uneasy about the current predicament and anxious hope that this army can protect them suddenly remembered: The army led by Lord Daves was defeated in the north, making the Lukanians feel terrified. And the large number of Samonais!

So the people's anxiety was temporarily relieved, and they began to cheer for the soldiers...

Davos was riding a horse, his mind was moving fast... In fact, when the troops walked out of the mountain pass last night, he learned of this period of time from the personnel sent by Aristras. Everything that happened in Dionia. Being elected king by the people was planned before he led the team. The assassination made him realize that the lives of himself and his family were seriously threatened, and he must provide his family with a stronger family. Protection is to get rid of the people, to sanctify yourself and become a superior royal family...

It's just that Davers didn't expect things to go so smoothly and so quickly, and all this is due to his mortal enemy Syracuse. Yes, Davos has paid enough attention to Dionysius, but he still underestimated the tyrant of Sicily. He devised a huge plan to keep Dionysian border wars and disperse Dionysius. The alliance was fairly strong, and he led his army all the way forward, almost putting Dionia on the brink of desperation.

Whether it is to let himself sit on the throne smoothly or to save the people in distress, Daves must quickly come up with a way to break the crisis created by the Syracuse people and give the people confidence!

In front is Victory Square.

Daves looked up at the stone pillar in the center of the square that pointed directly at the sky. The goddess of victory at the top of the pillar was holding a sword, spreading her wings and looking solemnly.

Davers looked at it, his frowning brow gradually stretched...
