On January 5th, the New Hellenic Alliance Conference was officially held. It was hosted by Cloto Kataks, assisted by Hiros, and nearly 200 city-state envoys participated. Under the circumstances that the framework of the large alliance agreement has been established, The messengers still had a heated debate on some small details.

On January 11th, the final alliance agreement was established, the main content of which is:

First article 1 is Dionia, Athens, Sparta, Thebes, Argos... the Greek city states voluntarily established the New Greece Alliance, and voluntarily elected Dionia as the permanent leader of the alliance. Person;

After the establishment of the new Greek Union Parliament, each city-state recommends a citizen of the city-state to become a member of the Union, which is changed every three years, but the member of Dionia will always serve as the chairman of the Union;

The members of the alliance must not start wars with each other, otherwise the alliance will form an army, led by Dionian, to crusade against the initiators of the war;

If the members of the alliance have conflicts, they must be submitted to the alliance assembly, and Dionia is responsible for forming an investigation team to discuss and resolve;

If a member of the alliance encounters an invasion by a foreign enemy, the alliance will form an army, led by Dionia until the foreign enemy is repelled to ensure the safety of all members of the alliance;

If the members of the alliance want to launch a war externally, they can make a request to the alliance council. If the alliance discusses and approves it, they will provide help. If it fails, the alliance will not guarantee the security of its territory, and Dionia has the right to veto one vote;

If other city-states want to join the alliance, they must be discussed and approved by the parliament, but Dionia has a veto;

……

In addition, under Dionia's deterrence and strong insistence, the New Greece Alliance also confirmed the sphere of influence of the main members of the alliance:

The territory of Athens is recognized as the entire Attica Peninsula, including Aegina and Salamis;

Recognize that Sparta’s territory is Lagnia, including Kythira (because at the end of the Greek war, Argus surrendered in time, and actively sent troops to assist the Dionian army, Dionian generals Bada had occupied Taitia for hundreds of years and gave it to Argos. The Spartans, who were still worried about their fate at the time, had no intention of opposing it);

It is confirmed that Thebes has established the Piorcia Alliance led by Thebes, which encompasses the entire Piorcia region, including Oropus;

(Thebes, as the only strong Greek power that did not oppose Dionia in the Greek War, and supported Dionia in the later period of the war, leading to a faster victory. Of course, Dionia must give the allies In return, it fully satisfies the dreams of Pelopidas, Ipamirunda and other Thebes executives that have been pursuing.

But for the transfer of Oropus to Thebes, the Athenian envoy led by Callistratus was firmly opposed to it. They believed that the Oropus people had always been close to Athens and looked upon Thebes. As an enemy, Oropus has always been considered a part of Attica and should be assigned to Attica instead of Peosha...

Because Pelopidas also had a strong argument, the issue was controversial in the process of drawing up the covenant. In the end, Cloto Catacs conducted mediation, and he proposed to occupy Egypt by Dionian. Ina was returned to Athens, while Oropus was placed under the Piotsya League. Aegina is obviously more important to Athens than Oropus, Calistratus finally agreed, and Pelopidas also fulfilled his wish.

For Dionia, since Athens has become an ally, it is only natural for Aegina to return Athens, which happens to kill two birds with one stone. )

It is confirmed that Mandinia established the Arcadian Alliance with Mandinia as the mainstay, and that the territory of the original Tygea belonged to Mandinia (this was given by Cloto Catax in the war Mandinia, who has always firmly supported Dionia’s greatest return, has also fulfilled his previous promises. Hilos even threatened other Arcadian city-states that opposed this issue, claiming that “if they If you don’t agree, then Dionia will come to calculate with them the account of betraying Dionia in the war. Taga will be their role model.” The envoys of the Arcadian city-states finally did not dare to object. );

It is confirmed that Olympia is under the jurisdiction of Alice, but Alice has no right to prevent the city-states of the New Hellenic Alliance from offering sacrifices to Zeus or cancel their right to participate in the Games (It can be said that Alice will finally regain control of Olympia. Thanks to the intercession of Ionikus, who has joined Messenia, and other former Ellis citizens, and the full strength of the Ellis when Cloto Katax sent troops to surround Olympia to threaten its priests. Cooperate);

……

On January 12, the envoys of the city-states signed the covenant one after another, and then the covenant and its signature were all inscribed on a three-meter-high, one-meter-diameter copper pillar by a famous Greek engraver, and then the city-states The messenger will face this bronze pillar full of words in turn, and solemnly swear in the name of the twelve gods of Greece: its city-state will abide by the covenant and never betray!

Finally, this sacred copper pillar will be transported to Turii and erected in front of the gate of the new Greek Union Parliament that is being built.

On March 1, a grand triumphal ceremony was held in Turíy, the capital of the Holy Kingdom of Dionia.

When the news of "conquering the mainland of Greece" reached Dionian territory, the people of Greek descent were ecstatic, knowing that most of them are either refugees from the Eastern Mediterranean or from the Greek city-states. The descendants of immigrants, even if the country is rich and the people are strong, there is still a trace of colonial humbleness deep down in their hearts, and now those Greek city-states once regarded as their mother state have bowed their heads to Dionia, so the proud pride is eloquent. . They sprinkled flowers and sang and danced to welcome the soldiers who had been waiting for this triumphal style for months.

On the platform in front of the Assembly Hall, Daves was as happy as the people, especially when he saw his son who strode up, his eyes never stopped looking.

When Croto Kataks came to him, his feet "slammed, and he delivered an unusually powerful military salute, shouting loudly: "Your Majesty, the Greek Expeditionary Force Commander Croto Catax, salute you! "

At that moment, Hades Daves, who has experienced countless winds and waves and has been in power for more than 20 years, was a little excited. His voice was slightly trembling and said: "Child...you have lost a lot of weight, but you are more energetic. You did a good job and you did not live up to my expectations of you!"

Father's kind words dispelled the perseverance that Croto Kataks had exercised for more than half a year. He suddenly reddened his eyes and said softly guiltily, "Father, please forgive me, I didn't take good care of my eldest brother!"

Daves comforted softly: "It’s not your fault! Your mother and I didn’t blame you, and Cynthia and Aiduy didn’t blame you either! After the triumphal ceremony is over, we will go home together to Addo. Worship in front of Reese’s grave!"

He patted Cloto Kataks **** the shoulder, handed the golden scepter into his hand, and said encouragingly: "But now you have to cheer up and join the people of the kingdom to celebrate this cause. A great victory in exchange for the blood of countless soldiers!"

Clotokatax nodded, tried to squeeze out a smile, and Daves turned to face the thousands of soldiers and people in the square, and raised his scepter high.

Suddenly, the cheers were wave after wave like a turbulent ocean.

One month later, Davos appointed Cloto Catacs as the consul of the Holy Kingdom of Dionia, and together with the six ministers to handle the state affairs.

In the Attica territory of Athens, there is a Mount Aegalius. To its east is the city of Athens. At the foot of the west, there is a small town called Selesia. Due to the high-quality clay on the nearby river bank, Therefore, it is famous all over Greece for its pottery industry.

There are many pottery houses and kilns in the small town, and countless plumes of smoke rise here every day, day and night, shrouding the whole town in smoke and dust. Outsiders who see this situation often worry about the residents of the small town, and at this time the Athenians will calmly tell them: This is a good thing, which means the prosperity of the pottery industry in Athens!

In fact, this is true. Even after the establishment of the New Greece Alliance and Dionia became the new hegemon of Greece, the concerns of the Athens pottery merchants did not appear. Not only did the Athens pottery industry not decline, but the orders were far superior. in the past.

Early in the morning, Hesklaus took a pack from the outskirts of Athens and rushed to Selesia.

A large house near the town gate in the western district of the small town was his pottery field. As soon as he entered the courtyard, the foreman in charge of the entire pottery factory immediately reported to him that the last batch of pottery was coming out of the kiln soon.

He immediately rushed to the kiln. The kiln had just been opened. In the hot air filled with black ash, the pottery pieces that were burnt red appeared before everyone's eyes: they had all kinds of shapes, but all Different from the traditional style of Athens pottery.

Everyone present is accustomed to this, because these pottery is custom-made by the buyer, and these styles are also provided by the buyer, and the buyer is a Turiyi merchant.

Be aware that when Hesklaus first handed over the new patterns provided by the buyer to the potters specializing in making embryos and shaping, these highly skilled Athens potters refused to make them, thinking that these patterns were rebellious and indiscriminate. design. Hesklaus fired one potter after another. The collective resistance of the potters once put his pottery business in a desperate situation, but later more than half of the pottery workshops in Selesia received from Dionia. Potters who had to dress and eat eventually chose to give in.

While waiting for the temperature of the pottery to drop, Hesklaus went to the bottle painting room next to him. He would like to express his gratitude to the painter Oniximos and his assistants who painted the pottery works. Great remuneration.
