lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
On this day, the people ransacked Kunogolata’s home like a mob: one of his sons was killed, another daughter was defiled and committed suicide, many tribesmen and slaves were injured, most of the family’s belongings Was snatched away.
The next day, the heartbroken Kunogolata was unable to go to the ground because of his injuries, so his servant sent a letter to the city hall, expressing his willingness to resign as general. However, the people were still uncomfortable, and at the same time they were worried that Kunogolata would retaliate for what they did yesterday, so they continued to rally in front of the city hall to protest, demanding that a citizens' assembly be called immediately, and General Neonsis and others were "helpless." agree.
Subsequently, the citizens' assembly was quickly held at noon, and the first topic was: the people proposed to expel Kunogolata. Most citizens drew "agree" on the pottery, and the proposal was passed. Thus, Kunogolata, who served as the chief general for several consecutive years after the Peloponnesian War, helped Turri, who was clearly labeled as the League of Athens, escape the liquidation of the new Greek hegemon Sparta and its allies. , But was expelled from Turei by the "pottery expulsion method" invented by the Athenians.
The second issue of the citizens’ assembly was the re-election of the "Nine Generals". In the end, Neonsis was elected as the chief general, Burkos was elected as a general because of the successful hiring of the Daves expeditionary army, and Ancitanos was elected because of the popular siege. While blocking the city hall, he defended Kunogolata, but was abandoned by the people and lost the election.
Kunogolata heard the news at home, was silent for a long time, and let out a long sigh. Originally, according to the “Pottery Expulsion Law”, he could return to the city state after ten years of absence, but he was determined to leave this sad city. After obtaining the consent of his wife, children and tribesmen, he began to clean up that afternoon. Luggage, and sold the house and fields at a very low price. During this period, only Ancitanos visited him once.
One day later, Kunogolata took his family, some of his clansmen, and nearly a hundred slaves loyal to him, carrying packages, and drove a pack cart, ready to leave the city.
After hearing the news, the people of Turiyi came one after another, not to see them off, but to insult and vent their undissipated grievances, and even threw debris at Kunogolata and his family, and the people accompanying them. They were all scared and hung their heads. Only Kunogorata, who was lying on the carriage due to his injury, faced countless angry gazes, with a calm expression: a few years ago, he also expelled the Athenian Turian citizen in this way. It's retribution to fall into this situation today!
He also thought of the Axicurodox family who had been expelled because of the defeat, and the Aboriginal people of Subaris who had been expelled or even killed on a large scale soon after the city was built...
Is this democracy in Greece? Suddenly he had a doubt, until the youngest son Dika Okrat next to him woke him up: "Father, where is Neonsis!"
He looked in the direction of his son's fingers: Neonsis was standing on the front of the city gate and looking down.
Kunogolata, who has been in politics for many years, knew who the real manipulator was when it happened. When his eyes met at this moment, he did not arouse more hatred in his heart.
He watched quietly until he exited the city gate, looking back at the mother country that gave birth to him, with a sad expression on his face.
He suddenly said in a deep voice: "Neonsis drove the beast of "public opinion" to deal with me. This time I underestimated him, but he might not be able to control this beast with his ability, sooner or later. Something will happen..."
Dika Okrat said faintly: "Will this bad guy be kicked out of Turey?!"
"Who knows?..." Kunogolata turned around, stroked his son's head with one hand, and looked at the unpredictable north, and said nervously: "Let's go, as we discussed before. That way, go to Amendorara first..."
…………………………
When Kunogolata and his party came to the Saraceno River, they saw Amendorara Archon Daves leading several senators and a team of guards waiting on the other side.
After Kunogolata heard about it, he hurriedly asked the slaves to drive the carriage to the front of the team.
Seeing Kunogolata lying on the carriage, Daves said in a loud voice: "Master Kunogolata, I am glad you chose to come to Amendorara! Hearing the news that you are coming, our veteran After urgent consultation, the court decided to grant you citizenship of Amendorara. Are you willing to accept it?"
After all, Kunogolata was only driven out of the city-state, but his Turrii citizenship was not deprived. After ten years, he will be able to return to Turri. In these ten years, he only needs to live in another state. , Amendorara's move may just be affectionate.
But when Kurograda heard this, his slightly uneasy mood finally recovered. He immediately thanked Daves and said sincerely: "I am very happy to be the same as Master Daves. Citizens of the State!"
The tribesmen also breathed a sigh of relief. Although Turri and Amendorara had just signed an alliance agreement, with the terrible relationship between the two cities, they were really afraid that Amendorara would refuse to accept them.
In fact, because of this issue, Daves did not welcome Kunogolata with much fanfare, for fear of causing dissatisfaction among the old citizens. Regarding Kunogolata's people, Daves has only contacted him twice and didn't know much, but the only two contacts made him feel that Kunogolata's political ability is not low, and he knew from the news. During his tenure as the chief general, Turyi was able to maintain political stability and trade prosperity, which shows that his governance level is good. Unfortunately, due to his military ability, he lost the chief general and was eventually expelled from Turyi, but This is in line with Daves' taste, and from the expulsion here, Daves vaguely felt something, so he would actively welcome Kunogolata.
On the way to Amendorara, both sides avoided talking about Turri.
"There are still some vacant houses in Amendorara that can be loaned to you and your family. However, I suggest that you still buy them because the price is not high. As for your tribesmen, they will pay them back temporarily. They can only be rented because they are not citizens of Amendorara." The financial officer Melsis didn't care that Kunogolata was a new arrival guest. A pair of brothers set the balance and gave him a serious introduction. .
Kunogorata expressed understanding and said: "I heard that the city-states recently passed an "Immigration Law". I don't know if they meet the requirements? Can they apply to become Amendorara citizens?"
Has this incident started to circulate in Turiyi! Daves was very happy to hear the news. He immediately explained in detail: “Of course they can apply. This matter is handled by the household registration officer Raphaas. I think that after the review, there should be no problem in registering. However, according to the "Immigration According to the Law, it takes a long period of investigation, usually two years, familiar with the laws and customs of Amendorara, without breaking the law and discipline, before becoming a prospective citizen, and then you can enjoy the part of the city state. Right, it takes two to three years before you can become a full citizen..."
"In other words, it will take five to six years to become an official citizen of the city-state of Amendorara?!" Kunogolata was a little surprised. They are responsible for their lives in the future.
Of course, Daves heard that he had objections to this, so he emphasized: "Because according to the new laws of Amendorara, the official citizens of the city-state are to be allocated'partitions', so we can't be careful!"
Kunogolata thought he had heard it wrong, and looked at Daves in surprise, but saw that he looked serious, not like a lie. You must know that giving citizens the right to “allot” is only available when the city-state was first established. Turri’s land is much larger than that of Amendorara. Since its establishment, new citizens have not been allocated any “shares”. ', Amendorara has a much longer history of building a city than Turiyi, and there is less land than Turiyi. Where can the extra land be allocated to the new citizens? ! List this as a city-state bill? ! Kunogolata wanted to question Daves very much, but if he wanted to be a newcomer, there was no need to be honest with the young consul at the beginning. It made people feel that he was not easy to get along with. You can ask about these things slowly in the future. So he changed the subject: "I also heard that the slaves of your city-state can easily become free citizens, and they also have the opportunity to become city-state citizens."
"There is such a thing, but they are in a special situation. If you want your slave to become an Amendorara citizen, the conditions to be met may be more difficult." Daves said truthfully.
"As long as there is a chance, I will do my best to make them citizens, in order to repay them for their loyalty in protecting me and my family in Turei!" Kunogolata finally said something that involved this matter. However, his expression was very calm, as if he could see through the world.
This is very different from the Kunogolata that Daves knows about. Is this incident a rare lesson for him? ! Some people grow up in frustration, and some people give up in frustration. If Kuno Gorata is the former, then it is really fortunate for Amendorara. Davers thought of this, and exclaimed: "These slaves have you as the master, but they are really lucky!"
Kunogorata immediately responded: "Amendorara has you as the consul. Unprecedented changes have taken place. It is also the city's luck!"
"It won't work if it doesn't change!" Daves said with no humility, and said firmly: "In today's troubled times, if you don't change, you will die, and if you change, you will survive!"
After listening to Kunogorata, he pondered this sentence silently, and walked to the foot of Amendorara Mountain. When he saw the Lucanian slaves who were busy on the construction site, Kunogorata stopped with an expression. After watching complicatedly for a while, he said in surprise: "I can't believe that these Lucanians are so obedient! There are probably more than a thousand people here, and there are not many soldiers guarding them. They are doing so hard. !"
"Because the city-state did not cut their lives because of the crimes they committed, but gave them hope!" Daves said meaningfully.
"Hope?!"
"Why do the Greeks and Lucarias have to kill to the death?! Why can't they live peacefully together in a city-state?!" Because he saw some gratifying changes in Kunogolata, Dave Si decided to reveal something in advance.
Daves' words blew up in Kunogolata's heart, and he suddenly looked at Daves with an incredible expression on his face.
