Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 25: Dionian City-State Alliance

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

Sybaris! Although it has now become a joke of the Great Greeks and a negative example of the city-states, it is undeniable: more than a hundred years ago, it was a city that straddled the east and west coasts of Apennines and ruled many cities. With local races such as Bruti and Lucaria, the largest state in Greece with amazing wealth, Syracuse at that time was just a small city-state, and Tarantum and Crotone could only Look forward to it. The elders cherish the memory of the past glory of Subaris, revel in the vision for the future, and cheer again with excitement. Some elders even shouted excitedly: "Fight the Sinni River, capture Grumentum, and retake us. Poseidonia!"

When did Poseidonia become ours! Davers smiled in his heart, he was happy to see this happen.

At this time, Weisba stood up and asked with concern: "How is the situation of Master Daves, Grumentum and the other Lucarias?"

"Because our attack was very successful, no one escaped. It is estimated that the Lukaria people in the north have not received the news. Sesta is seizing the time to stabilize the situation in Niutum. All efforts in Bagul With assistance, a large number of Lucarians and slaves in Niutum are willing to become Union citizens. Sesta and Asistes are busy registering, allocating land, and allocating cattle for these converted Lucanians. Sheep and other matters, while strengthening the city defense... In addition, Asistes is also building the Rahe Fortress, and will be able to return in two days. Even if the Lucarians in the north get news, they will not be able to attack Niutu for the time being. In the information we have received before, we all know that Picsis just had a battle with Grumentum. Due to the rebellion of some of the leaders, Ake occupied the city of Grumentum. Piru’s son Lusau was defeated and led the tribe to flee to Potentia, and Potentia accepted him. Obviously even if Cincinnag of Picosis occupied the city of Grumentum, he still You have to be careful about Potentia’s intervention, so now Niutum is safe for the time being!"

Daves' words relieved some elders' worries, and the scene became more enthusiastic.

Cornerus said loudly: "My lords, there is an important issue that urgently needs to be resolved by the Senate!"

Most of the veterans were taken aback: What are the big problems in these days of victory?

"Before we owned two cities, Amendorara and Turri, so it was called the Tua Alliance. It is simple and clear, and the public understands its meaning as soon as they hear it. But now there is another Niutum, if It's not quite right in the original name-the Tua League!" Cornelus said seriously.

The carefulness of Cornelus made the elders realize that it is indeed inappropriate: This is tantamount to excluding Niutum. What will the people of Niutum think in the future? In addition, from the perspective of development trends, in the future, Niutum will mainly be composed of Lucanians. Now, how much effort has been spent and a lot of bills have been formulated to include Lucarians into the alliance. This is the veteran. The veterans of the hospital gradually reached a long-term plan. Because of a name problem, it may lead to discord and division, and make the long-term efforts of the alliance vanish! This is indeed an important issue that needs to be resolved immediately!

"Then it's called Turri-Amendolara-Niutum Alliance!" Amintas' answer was simple and clear, but some elders couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh, it’s very convenient to call it that way. But what if we get Grumentum next time? Let’s continue to name Tury-Amendola-Niutum-Gru The Mentum League?! If this continues next time...every time the official name of our league is mentioned in the future, it will take a lot of time!" Melses joked exaggeratedly.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Amintas couldn't hide his face, and said angrily: "Mercis, you can give me a better name!"

"It's not difficult. Since we are going to restore the glory of Subaris and regain its amazing wealth..." At this point, I feel that Merses' saliva is about to fall: "Just call the new Subaris!"

As soon as the words came out, Kunogolata shook his head and expressed opposition: "This name is not good! It can easily intensify the relationship with Crotone, and it will also make neighboring city-states feel uneasy!"

Ansitanos agreed: "Yes, when the trade of Sybaris was prosperous, there was competition with many city-states in Great Greece, and the relationship was not very good, even Campa in the north of Lucaria. The League of Nia (ie the League of Naples) is also hostile to Subaris. We can’t get into a stalemate with neighboring neighbors just because of a name!..."

As a historian, Ansitanos' words naturally won the attention and recognition of the elders. Many veterans have already thought of names, but may cause dissatisfaction with neighboring countries, swallowed back again, such as the "Greater Greece League" taken by Antonios. At this time, the veterans found that the name was really not easy to pick. It was necessary to make it contain a certain depth, but also to represent all the cities in the alliance. At the same time, it was necessary to consider the future development and the relationship with neighboring countries. Some veterans thought and whispered, some simply cast their eyes on Davers...

"It's not easy to choose a name, I will say a name, and you will all feel good!" Someone said loudly and confidently.

Everyone saw it was Plaisinus.

"Hurry up and listen!" At the urging of the veterans, Plessinas slowly said, "It's called the Dionian City-State Alliance!"

While elders with no culture like Amintas were still pondering the meaning of the name, many elders once again turned their meaningful eyes on Daves.

Davers was surprised. He did ignore the issue of the name of the alliance before. When everyone was thinking about the name, he was also thinking about it, but he did not expect that Plycinus would repeatedly give him unexpected surprises: the meaning of Daves’s name is "Son of God". Some people think that the name of the consul is granted by the gods, otherwise, how could his parents know that his child will become Hades's patron or his blood in the future (in error)! "Dio" refers to the gods, and the name "Dionia" means the land of gods, so the two names "Dionia" and "Davos" are closely related.

Daves hasn’t expressed his opinion yet, Mariji has already exclaimed: "Good name! Good name! The Greeks have the tradition of naming city states with **** names, like the Poseidonia you mentioned earlier. There is the well-known Athens... Our league has been blessed by Hades many times, so that we can win more with less and win with weak. So fast development in a short period of time! To thank Hades, the symbol of our league is Hades , The banner of our army is Hades, and we have to build a temple for him, but this is not enough! The people of the entire alliance deserve his blessing, so the name Dionia is just right! I believe that with it, The development of our alliance will be even faster!......"

Let a Persian talk a lot about the gods and graces of the Greeks. Outsiders seem a little weird, but the veterans here are listening very carefully. Some people have already nodded in agreement. Because the troops are out, There are few former mercenary veterans who firmly support Davers, and without these people booing, the scene is a little cold.

Davers looked around at the crowd, his gaze fell on Cornellus and Kunogolata: "Two city chiefs, what do you think of this name?"

Cornerus lowered his head and said, "I have no objection."

Kunogorata glanced at Plycinus, and then at Daves, he said: "I agree completely, this is a good name!"

"Then call Dionia City-State Alliance!" Daves calmly made the final decision.

…………………

At the end of the meeting, Davers walked out with the House of Representatives, but never deliberately talked to Plycinus.

When I went out, all the elders were stunned: in front of the senator of Amendorara, there were densely standing people, stretching down the mountain. Among them were the wives who lost their husbands in the hands of the Lucarias, and The elderly who lost their children, the children who lost their fathers, the hundreds of Turyes who were suffering from phobias due to Lucaria, and the Amendorara who worried about the battle on the front line (almost all the families of the soldiers on the expedition) Amendorara)...At this moment, they are all standing quietly. Seeing Daves and the others come out, I don't know who first shouted, followed by a tsunami-like cheering: "Wansheng, Tua Alliance!!! "

"Wansheng, Senate!!!"

"Wan Sheng, Master Davers!!!"

"Thank you!!! Thank you..."

Everyone was cheering to their heart's content, with tears of excitement gleaming in their eyes... That was the release of years of humiliation! That is a kind of pleasure but hatred! That is a joy that has never been afraid!

The Tua Alliance led by Davos captured Niutum and solved Turri’s years of troubles in one fell swoop. The people are sincerely grateful to all the senators in the Senate. At this moment, they felt the pride and pride of being the veteran of the Tua Union Senate, just like Davers said: We must lead the people to create a prosperous and powerful Dionian city-state alliance! Let the Dionians, no matter in any city-state in the Mediterranean, can proudly claim that they are Dionian citizens, and no foreigner would dare to invade them!

Tratus naturally saw this spectacular and touching scene. No matter how emotional he was, the message sent back to Crotone City Hall was still short: the Tua Alliance has captured Niutum, and Raos became its alliance.

The generals and council members such as Miron and Lycias of Crotone were surprised by this. After Daves and his mercenaries arrived in Greater Greece, less than a year later, the battle winning rate under his command was The height has made them feel a little scared.
