Hearing this, many people in the Turiyi envoy were shocked.

Kunogolata had no choice but to propose: Turri first had to discuss this issue privately before making a decision.

Davers nodded in agreement. Seeing the Turiyi envoys go far away, he turned his head and gave Stromboli a thumbs up: "Master Stromboli, you just said so good!"

"I'm telling the truth!" Stromboli stared.

"All I want is the truth!" Davers laughed.

Stromboli also laughed, and he finally let out a bad breath in front of the Turyee today!

……………………

"Everyone, it seems that Amendorara has reached an alliance agreement with Tarantum, and Amendorara must have obtained Tarantum’s consent before putting forward such a condition. If we do not agree to this Conditions, this talk can no longer be discussed." Kunogolata said solemnly.

"Then let’s not talk about it! Anyway, the Lucanian threat has been resolved, we don’t need to be **** off by Amendorara!" Neonsis said angrily, thinking about a year ago, Amen Dorara treated the envoy of Turíy with respect, and in a blink of an eye he dared to yell at General Turíy. This disparity in attitude made Neonsis unbearable. He said with hatred, "Damn it. Tarantum, he thought they were really sincerely helping Turey, but he didn't expect to trick him in secret!"

Ansitanos was a little helpless: "Who made us defeated! It is impossible for a weak city-state to be respected. This is the law of history. We have all received news that the Brutis have stopped communicating with Krishna In the war in Rotone, someone in Crotone’s council mentioned “the issue about us trespassing on the old city of Subaris”. This must arouse our vigilance. Once they attack, we will be hostile behind us. Amendorara, our situation will be very dangerous! In addition, we also know that the Lucanians are very vengeful. After this war, we don’t know when they will recover, but once they recover, they will invade again and stand in the way. We are still at the forefront. Can we beat them? Don’t we need Amendorara’s help..."

Ansitanos said something that made the others worried, Neonsis snorted again and again, but did not speak any more.

"In fact, the key to this question lies in whether Tarantum has been involved in our Turriy ambitions." Kunogolata reminded everyone that he seriously analyzed: "I think Tarantum should not have this. Attempt. Otherwise, they will not try their best to advocate and establish the Great Greek Defense Alliance to jointly deal with the indigenous people. If they want to get in touch with Turii, I am afraid that the city-states such as Crotone and Siritim will unite with us to oppose them. The alliance will collapse, and their efforts over the past few years will be in vain. And even if they occupy our city-state and support the puppet government close to them, they will not be worth the loss, because they will face three powerful enemies, Mesa in the southeast. The Pi people, the Lucanians in the northwest, and the Allied States of Crotone in the southwest. Once the Lucanians or Crotone invade, Tarantum, the "mother state", will not be Just send one or two thousand people to Turei to deal with it. So I think Tarantum did this only because we have defeated them, and they want a little revenge. Since ours The ancestors can make Turye a great power in Greece in just a few years after the city was built more than 40 years ago! As long as we forbearance temporarily and work together, we will surely be able to regain Turye in a short period of time. Rise! The humiliation given to us by Amendorara and Tarantum, we will definitely return them again, just like our ancestors did!"

"Master Kuno Gorata is right!" Kuno Gorata's words lifted everyone's spirits and boosted their confidence. Back at the negotiating table, the Turyee readily agreed to the first condition put forward by Amendorara.

Looking at Kunogolata opposite, Daves knew that this gloomy-looking old man played a big role in it.

At this time, Antonios stood up again and said: "In early April, our consul Daves signed an employment agreement with Turri. The main content of the agreement was'to assist Turri to defend and attack. Retire Lucaria’s period is six months. During this six months, regardless of whether the mission is completed or not, Turiyi will regularly pay the mercenaries salary and a certain amount of grain. This is the original agreement."

Antonius handed the sheepskin scroll to the opposite Ansitanos: "According to the agreement, even if the Lucanians have been repulsed, Turri must continue to pay the mercenary salaries and supplies, and The mercenaries will continue to implement the requirements of the agreement,'defend Turri until the end of the six-month period.' Now it’s time for you to pay the salary and grain."

Kunogolata nodded, just about to answer.

Neonsis quickly stood up and said: "Turiy is not going to implement this employment agreement!"

Not only was the Amendorara messenger group in an uproar, but the Turiyi people were also surprised. They discussed this matter before coming, and believed that it was necessary to continue to implement this agreement, because Daves has become the life-long consul of Amendorara, and hiring Daves is equivalent to hiring Amendorara. First of all, this can satisfy the poor self-esteem of the Turiyi people. The most important thing is that the strength of the current Turiyi is greatly weakened. In fact, it really needs the protection of the mercenaries with strong combat effectiveness led by Daves, so that it can survive and recover safely. Expect. At that time, Neonsis had objected on the grounds of the emptiness of the treasury, and was finally persuaded by Kunogolata. Unexpectedly, at a critical time, Neonsis would actually regret it again and caught the Turrii envoy by surprise.

Under Kunogolata's cold gaze, Neonsis trembled in his heart and hurriedly avoided. He was forced to the edge of the cliff because of impulse, and he bit his head and continued: "First of all, back then The object of Turri’s contract is mercenaries. Now the mercenaries have become citizens of Amendorara, and the identity of the signing party has changed. However, hiring a citizen soldier from a city-state involves more complicated interests and procedures, not this. A simple employment agreement can be resolved; secondly, you should note that the last name of the agreement is General Ferris, who originally let Burcos be responsible for recruiting mercenaries. When this agreement was brought back to the Turiy Town Hall , Most generals expressed opposition to the content of the agreement. In the end, Ferris passed the agreement by force in the name of the chief general. Because he said that he would be responsible for preparing half of the salary and supplies, the agreement was signed by him alone. Name, and now he and his family have almost died on the battlefield, so..."

"Yeah! Turiyi people are not only selfish, but they are not trustworthy and shameless. Even the old people who fought for Turiyi to the death will slander!..." Stromboli scolded again, letting Amendo The Lara people relieved their anger and put the Turiyi people ashamed.

Daves saw Kunogolata eagerly pulling Ansitanos and whispering something, and hurriedly turned around and winked at Mariji. Mariji immediately stood up and said, "We agree to your proposal and discard it. This employment agreement! But not because we listened to your explanation, but because we don’t want Turri to increase special taxes because of the empty treasury, which will make the already grieving Turri people even more painful! After all, Amendorara and Turiyi has been an ally for many years!" Maliji had a compassionate expression.

The Amendoras including Stromboli are serious, which makes the Tury even more ashamed.

Kunogorata looked at Neonsis coldly, and Neonsis did not have any sense of accomplishment in arguing about success.

"Amendorara and Turri should not only defend their common enemy militarily, but we should also strengthen cooperation in trade..." Mariji continued to talk openly, tactfully turning down the terms previously discussed with Daves Speak out.

Turiyi people out of guilt, most of them agreed, not only out of the psychological guilt for canceling the employment agreement, but also some clauses are also conducive to solving Turiyi’s difficulties, such as: the port in the city of Turiyi Because of the long-term influx of freedmen, foreign merchant ships and sailors, it has become overcrowded, accommodation is difficult, and costs have increased. There have been many complaints. But the last time, in order to win the battle with the Lucanians, the city hall decided to recruit free people to fight out of the city, and verbally announced that “free people who participated in the war will be given citizenship of Turii”. As a result, the battle ended. Riy was defeated and the freedmen suffered heavy casualties. At the very end, the Lucanian tribal coalition forces were annihilated. The living freemen who participated in the war demanded the Turri City Hall to fulfill their promise, but the generals of Turri and the council discussed it. , Believes that the repulsion of the Lucanians was entirely due to the mercenaries and the reinforcements of Tarantum, and the freedmen did not participate in the subsequent annihilation war. On the contrary, in the previous wars, the freedmen were the first to retreat, leading to the defeat of the entire battle. Therefore, the freemen had no reason to claim citizenship.

Turiyi’s refusal made the freedmen feel dissatisfied. A tense atmosphere began to permeate the port area. Provocations, fights, and disturbances gradually increased. The city hall had to increase the number of patrols in the port to deter those dangerous elements. The problem is that there are no more than 3,000 young and middle-aged citizens in Turiyi, while there are many more free citizens in the port area and the city. If it causes riots, it will be a disaster. Therefore, the construction of warehouses and hotels in Amendorara will help to disperse the crowded flow of people in the port of Turiyi and alleviate conflicts, which is beneficial to Turiyi.

The two parties finally reached an alliance agreement, but they have not yet signed it. Because Amendorara respects Tarantum, he must first submit the content of the agreement to Tarantum’s consul and Senate for review and confirmation. The final signing can only be completed after Tarantum's interests are not harmed.
