Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 264: Safety in Apulia

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

Before Sedorum’s voice, Felicius interjected: “There is still the Ninth Army stationed in the Apulia area. Because of your majesty’s reminder, the Ministry of Military Affairs specially asked the Ninth Army to stay in Udia. , Did not follow Alexis on the expedition to the Samona Mountains, just to prevent such a thing from happening, I believe that the commander of Taigtinos will be able to easily defeat the incoming enemy."

"I believe our army can easily defeat the mobs, but I am worried that these once runaway leaders of Mesapi, Pucciti, and Dawni will cause turmoil in this area when they return to Apulia. , Just like Bruti during the South-Italian War.” Sedorom felt a bit complicated when talking about the past: the chaos in the Bruti area gave him a chance to show off his talents, which helped him become the rotating chairman of the Senate. However, the turmoil and riots also led to the entire Bruti area falling into chaos, the population was greatly reduced, and many tribes disappeared.

"Please rest assured, adults, that it has been almost 10 years since the Pucheti region has been incorporated into the kingdom. The people there live freely and prosperously, and they are proud of Dionian citizens. It is impossible to be lost by these bereaved dogs that they have long forgotten. Instigated and launched a riot, and returned to the impoverished period ruled and controlled by kings and leaders. On the contrary, they would cooperate with the kingdom’s army to drive away these thugs who tried to take away their happiness!"

The speaker is the former leader of the Silvim tribe in the central town of Puchetti, and the future father-in-law of Prince Adoris——Torex. The elder Puchetti is not only headed by him, but also he It is also quite prestigious among the Puchetti people, so his words relieved the veterans present a lot.

Immediately afterwards, another veteran of Mesapi, Apirosia (he is also the father-in-law of the court clerk Hernipolis), also stood up at this moment and said loudly: "We Mesapi merged into Dionian’s time is longer, and I can assure you here that the Mesapi people will only regard these former Mesapi people who landed in Apulia as outsiders, and treat them as thugs who want to destroy their peaceful lives. , The people will fully support the kingdom’s army to defeat them!"

The successive speeches of the elders of Puchetti and Mesapi made the eyes of the other elders unconsciously focus on the body of another elder-Lugosembrun.

The identity of this veteran from Dawney is very important. He is the former king of Dawney. In the war that Dionian conquered Dawney 4 years ago, he surrendered early in Lucenia, making Alexis successfully conquered the Dawney area. In order to appease the people of Downey and stabilize the people's minds, Rugosembrun was enthusiastically received by Daves and was given a banquet. He soon became the senator of Dionia, and he became the youngest senator in the Senate. (It was only 27 years old then, but now it's only 31 years old).

After joining Dionia, this weak and unconvincing former King Dawney has always stood by himself and is not too keen on politics. Attending the Senate’s regular meetings has always been routine, and rarely speaks or argues. Instead, he devoted all his energy to the sport of football. Not only did he practice regularly, but he also spent money to form a team to participate in football matches in the Turiyi region, so Turiyi was dubbed the "Football veteran". .

It is rare for him to receive such attention in the Senate, and he is inevitably a little nervous, and he whispers: "You...you don't have to worry about Dawnies, because...because there were not many Dawnies who fled back then."

What Lugosembronn said was the fact that the time spent conquering Dawney in the Apulia region was the shortest, only one battle on the Ofanto River, plus a Xipentum After the siege war, the various tribes of Dawney towns and tribes surrendered one after another. Of course, the surrender of Rugosembronn played a very important role as an example.

After his reminder, the elders suddenly felt more stable in their hearts.

"Once these mobs land in Apulia, I suggest that three adults, Torreques, Apirosia, and Lugojebron, can go to Puchetti, Mesapi and Dawni respectively to assist the area. The Chief Executive of the People’s Republic of China reassures the people and organizes defenses..." Sedorum said his opinions aloud.

Most of the elders agreed to this proposal, Torex and Ampirosia did not object, only Lugosembrunn was very reluctant, but in such an atmosphere, he did not dare to refute , Can only accept it silently.

"Since the entire Apulia region is preparing for the game, do you not need to notify the cities and towns of Apulia to participate in the football finals?" Lycias asked.

"Don't!" Torex immediately objected, and he reminded with a serious expression: "Even if the remnants of the fleeing forces harass the Puchetti area, they won’t cause panic among the people, but if they don’t Let them participate in the rugby finals, I am afraid it will really cause turmoil in the entire region!"

"The same is true in the Mesapi area." Apirosia also said immediately: "The people have regarded the Rugby Finals as a major holiday, and they will never allow the teams in their towns to be absent. I Seeing that the enemy chose to attack Apulia at this time, it was a wrong idea. The people will be even more angry to counter these thugs who disrupt their appreciation of the game."

"It has long been heard that the people of Apulia are obsessed with rugby games, it does not seem to be a rumor!" Lucias sighed and took back what he had said before.

The Mesapi and Puchetti are relatively fierce races. After being conquered by Dionia that year, the people were still unwilling, and the rugby finals became the best place for them to express their indomitability and resistance. So in the first few years, their players’ rugby skills were not yet adept, and their tactics were simpler. However, relying on the tenacious spirit of not admitting defeat, they also repeatedly staged a reversal and defeated the great Greek teams in the finals, and the winning team returned to the city. After that, the players will be sought after by the people, which has promoted the development of rugby in the local area. Although in recent years, with the full integration of the Apulian people into Dionia, this antagonism has ceased to exist, but rugby has become the most popular sport in the region, and its enthusiasm even exceeds that of Turi. Yi.

While some elders who don’t know much about the Apulia region curiously listened to the elders who served as the chief executives of towns and cities in this area, they whispered about the reasons why the people of Apulia like rugby. Rum asked Hiros: "Do these remnants of Apulia have the support of Spartans to attack us? If so, did the Spartans also send troops to participate?"

Many elders felt tight.

Silos smiled and said: "The rebels headed by Vardarka must be able to convene troops in the Peloponnese area with the consent of the Spartans. However, there is no intelligence to show that there is a Spartan. Or the armies of other Peloponnesian city-states joined it. I think the most important reason is that everyone should also know that the Spartans are now busy fighting the new alliance formed by Athens and Thebes."

Hearing this, Weisba took a long sigh of relief and said repeatedly: "This is good, this is good!"

An elder in the venue joked: "Master Visba, don't worry, Master Baggul is not satisfied, I am afraid he still wants to capture a few Spartans in Udia!"

As soon as laughter broke out in the venue, Anta Auris stood up and said with hatred: "Sparta is now in a difficult situation and has not forgotten to add chaos to us. It seems that its hostility to the kingdom has not changed. Wait until We have solved Carthage, and we must let the Spartans know how good we are."

This was unanimously approved by the elders.

The regular meeting of the Senate was over, and Weisbah did not accept Hermon's invitation-went to the Kristia restaurant in the city for a drink and a chat, but went straight back to his mansion.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I ran into daughter-in-law Andrea.

"Father, you are back!" Andrea greeted him and asked with concern: "Today's Senate meeting seems to have ended much later than usual, you are exhausted!"

Weesba took a look at her, and said naturally: "Today there are many issues, and everyone's debate is fierce. One of the issues has a lot to do with Baggul."

"What's the matter?!" Andrea asked immediately.

"When the kingdom conquered the Apulia region, the Mesapi, Puchetti, and Donidori people who fled to the mainland of Greece had assembled an army..." Weisba did not hesitate at all. Things that should be classified were told to Andrea.

Even though the Kingdom of Dionia is more tolerant to women, it rarely allows women to participate in politics. This is especially true in the tradition of Lucania. Andrea is an alien daughter-in-law, and Weisba initially treated her The requirements of is more demanding. The reason why he has changed drastically now is that, on the one hand, his superiority as the leader of Lucania no longer exists. Dionia is getting stronger and stronger. Constantly produce a sense of crisis. On the other hand, Andrea, as a right-hand man to Queen Christoya, has been greatly tempered over the years. Baggul has been working outside the country all year round. Very often, Weisba has to rely on his daughter-in-law to analyze the situation for himself. , Follow her suggestions.

After listening, Andrea did not express the same worry as Weisba first heard. Instead, she comforted: "Father, don’t worry. Now that the Military Affairs Department is fully prepared, your Senate is again With careful arrangement, there will be no trouble in Apulia, and Baggul will be very safe, and I think this is a good thing. The kingdom can take the opportunity to wipe out these fugitives and let the Apulia region be completely destroyed. Stabilize."

Wesbah looked at his daughter-in-law’s calm and confident face, was taken aback for a moment, and then murmured: "Yes, yeah, you are right..."
