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

Aprieus was carried out by the guards, and he kept struggling and yelling: "Don’t lie to yourself anymore, Rome is over! It’s all Camilos’ fault! Jupiter is on it! , Save Rome! It's all Camilos' fault..."

After Apreus was taken out, there was silence in the temple. Some people clenched their clothes with hands tightly, with fear hidden in their eyes; some people looked down to cover up his red eyes...

Portitus and Marugineensis looked at each other, a sense of powerlessness surged in their hearts, but he suppressed this negative emotion and said softly: "Ambustus, please continue Your topic just now."

…………………………………

After the triumphant ceremony ended, Daves was going to convene a military meeting to discuss the next army's offensive plan, but before the meeting, he first met with one person.

"Sit down, Publius."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Publius was respectful and fluent.

Pubulius is not the elders on Capitoline Hill. These days he has witnessed the sincerity of the civilians in Rome, the escape of a large number of civilians and soldiers, and the Uygur and Iraqi people who came to Rome from the past. The messengers of the Trurian city state learned that Weiai and Kesreira were indeed captured by Dionia, and several Etruscan city states allied with Dionia, and then Survotem, Kesrera Sa also surrendered one after another...Even he learned that the Roman army that had fought in Ostia was finally disbanded.

As the patriarch of a great Roman clan, he has keenly sensed that the Dionians have established a foothold in the Latham area, and it is difficult for Camilos to take Rome back.

In terms of feelings, this made him a little frustrated, but for the Manlius clan who had been forced to join Dionia, it was actually good news.

So, in Davers's eyes at this moment, Publius is sitting neatly, assuming a submissive listening posture.

Somehow grasping the mentality of Publius at this time, Daves smiled in his heart and said: "I heard Rome’s chief executive Asistes said that during this period of time, you have actively assisted the city hall so that Dai Onia’s governance of Rome is more targeted, more efficient, and much smoother."

"Master Asistes praised me too much. I just made some suggestions. After all, I know Rome better." Publius said modestly.

Davers looked at him and suddenly said straightforwardly: "I think you, as the patriarch of Manlius and the patriarch of Rome, are far better than your understanding of this area or your ability to handle government affairs. Valks, but he is now the administrative adjutant of Rome, and you are left idle. Do you feel unwilling?"

Pubulius' heart jumped, and he said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, my family and I are just your captives. I am very grateful for your forgiveness. Where can I dare to expect other things!"

"You have joined the Kingdom of Diornia and are becoming a citizen of Dioria. I think with your shrewdness, you should have understood Dioria's political system these days." Daves tapped with his hand. Looking at the table, he said: "The Senate of Dionian gathers elites from all the cities and races of Dionian. They can help me make laws and decisions for the entire kingdom in the Senate, and they can also serve as The chief executive of a city or even a region alone manages the administrative affairs of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. While they are dedicated to the kingdom, they are also trying their best to protect the rights and interests of the region and race of their origin. Rome is so If a big city is to be incorporated into the kingdom, of course, it is also necessary for an elite who can represent the Roman people to enter the Senate and shout for their rights..."

"Your Majesty..." Publius was moved. He knew that the reason Daves said this to him must be expected of him, so he boldly asked: "How can I become Dai Where is the patriarch of Onia?"

"First of all, let go of your Roman aristocratic prestige, no matter what administrative position you hold, do your best to serve the civilians in the city and win their recognition... I think the foundation laid by Marcus, you still It’s easy to achieve.” Daves said seriously: “Secondly, you have to make enough credit for the kingdom to get the recognition of the Dionian veterans, so that when you get the recommendation, at least you won’t get a big deal. Some veterans objected."

After listening to Publius, he immediately took the initiative to say: "What does your Majesty want me to do, please do not hesitate to order, and I will try my best to complete it!"

Sure enough, he is a smart man! Davers met the eager gaze of the other party, and said in a deep voice: "Now there is a very important thing that you need to take time to do. The Etruscan city-state has formed an alliance with us, and the Roman colony to the north has been completely cleared. The northern side of the city is safe. Although the army led by Camilos has been disbanded, he still has a considerable number of soldiers and the support of the Latin Allies. I do not plan to fight them head-on for the time being.

I need to send an emissary to go to the Latin city-states to the south while the Roman army is still resting in Satnikum to the southwest, trying to persuade them to leave the Latin alliance and sever ties with Rome, and Make alliances with the kingdom to further weaken the power of the Roman remnants..."

Daves did not send an envoy before, but the effect was not good. The Latin city-state was still full of mistrust in outsider Dionia, just like the previous Etruscan city-state, so Dave Only then will Pubulius be found.

In the past few years, Rome has maintained a strong presence in the Latin area, and the Latin city-states are admiring its breath. Its high-level officials often communicate with these big clans in Rome, and some even become relatives.

Pubulius made some calculations in his heart and asked, "What are the negotiation terms?"

There seems to be a show! Daves pretended to ponder, and after a while he replied: "Our alliance treaty with the Etruscan city-state can be used as a model. Henney, you will show the contents of the alliance agreement to Publius in a moment." /

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Hernipolis who was on the side responded immediately.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the Latin city-states to the south." Publius no longer hesitated.

"Very good!" Dafus smiled: "With you as a messenger, I believe that the talks with the Latin city-states will go smoothly. Let's set off tomorrow. If you have anything to prepare before your mission, you can tell He Nepolis, let him solve it for you."

Henipolis nodded to Publius immediately.

Pubulius also hurriedly cast a friendly smile on Hernipolis.

"One more thing." Daves continued: "When we entered Rome, some remnants of Roman nobles occupied Capitoline Hill. We haven't attacked yet, mainly because we were busy stabilizing the order in the city. At the same time, it is necessary to take care of the emotions of the people in the city (in fact, the main reason is that Daves had to keep the enemies on Capitoline Hill at the time to attract Camelus’s army to forcefully attack the city of Rome. As a result, Camelus did not He was fooled, and his army was eventually disintegrated, and the remnants of it retreated to Sartnikum to rest. Observing the situation, he could no longer threaten the city of Rome in a short time).

Now that the city of Rome is stable, taking Capitoline Hill can save our troops and better manage the city of Rome. In fact, it is not because our Dionian army cannot attack. Capitolin Mountain is densely populated. I only need to order soldiers to throw burning tar cans with ballistas to the top of the mountain without interruption, which can cause countless deaths and injuries..."

Daves’s tone was flat when he spoke, but Publius’s ears were stubborn. He had seen the terrible scene of a ballista attack on the west side of the city before, and he had no doubt about its power. , I was hesitating whether to dissuade Daves.

But Daves sighed and said in a compassionate tone: "I heard that there are many women and children on the mountain, and there are many temples... Therefore, this is the last resort. I am going to send An emissary went up the mountain to persuade the surrender."

Daves said this, but his eyes looked at Publius.

Pubulius hesitated and asked boldly: "Your Majesty, if these people on the mountain surrender...what will happen to them?"

Daves knew what he was worried about: because before Dionia captured the Roman nobles, they mainly imprisoned, escorted Rome, and became slaves... If you follow this approach, it is impossible to let the mountain go The Romans surrendered because most of them were Roman elders and nobles.

Davers smiled, tapped the back of the chair with his finger, and said: "I can assure you that as long as they are willing to surrender and become Dionian citizens, although they will be sent out of Rome, they will not Relegated to slavery again, but scattered and placed on other territories of Dionia, enjoying the same rights as other citizens of the kingdom."

Pubulius was lost in thought, but he still hesitated.

At this time, Daves said again: "If you become a Dionian patriarch, your immediate family will be allowed to stay in Rome. Think about it, this may be the only Rome left here. Family!"

Pubulius was tempted again: "Your Majesty...can you allow me to persuade me to surrender after going to the Latin city-state?"

Pubulius said so, it is his consideration. He knows that these elders and nobles on Capitoline are the most determined group of people who will resist and will never surrender easily and let them be on the mountain. A few more days of sleepiness may reduce the difficulty of persuasion a little bit.

"Of course." Daves promised, and said happily: "You have boldly assumed the past for these two important things, which made me feel a lot easier! Let's talk casually. , You were a veteran of Rome and grew up here. Can you tell me in detail your views on these city states and forces around Rome?"
