Faced with Gellney’s expectant gaze, Daves did not hesitate. He nodded immediately and said firmly: "For allies who are really friendly with us, Dionia will never Let them be wronged! Guerney, rest assured, I will send an envoy to Beneventum to publicly declare my support for you. Any tribe that wants to disadvantage you will be the enemy of Dionia! And also Will condemn Silpine, Cavutini, and Penteni for their secret boycott of the covenant over the past few years!" Davers said as he motioned to the clerk to record the incident.
Gerney was overjoyed and repeatedly expressed his gratitude, finally letting go of the stone in his heart.
But I heard Dafus say again: "What I am worried about is that the Silpine Tribal Alliance knows that your relationship between Abeni Rum and Dionia is very good, and it is still held when the agreement is about to expire. For celebrations that are unfavorable to you, don’t worry about causing Dionia’s dissatisfaction and defending you. Could it be that Lescuk has no plans to renew his contract?"
Gerney's heart was shocked. During this time, Daves was worried about the problem, but he would rather convince himself: This is a strategy of Lescuk, and he wants to pass Abenirum. To try pressure on Dionia in order to gain the initiative to modify some treaties when renewing the contract. After all, Dionia’s strength is obvious to all. Before offending it, any power must first weigh its own weight. Can you withstand Dionia's anger?
Davos saw Gailny's expression a little nervous, and smiled: "In fact, for us Dionia, Silpinei's willingness to renew the contract has no impact or loss, but for the Samonais— -" Davers showed a compassionate expression and sighed: "You love living in the mountains. This is a long-standing tradition. But living in the mountains has difficulties in the mountains. There is not enough arable land to grow food. Animal husbandry is feasible, but We must beware of wild animals, and we must pray that the winter is not too cold, otherwise it will be difficult for livestock to survive. Just like the situation in the previous two years, the winter in the mountains is much colder than in the coastal areas. As for hunting, there is not much to feed. People, so ten years ago your father joined other Samona tribes to launch an attack on Potentia, not only because of the instigation of the Syracuse, but also because of your needs for survival, to get more Land to feed your growing population..."
Davers' words made Gailny feel sad: ten years ago, he was still a brave warrior, fighting under the protection of his father, Veronica...
"But war is not the only way for the Samona tribe to survive. Strengthening friendly trade with other forces will not only get more food, but you don't have to worry about the defeat of the war and the sacrifice of the people. You Abenirum This is the best example. As far as I know, your life is much better than that of other Shillpini tribes. Even more children were born and survived in recent years than other tribes. If this continues, another ten years will be passed. Aberum will once again become the largest town in Sirpine!..."
Gerney's heart is surging, Daves is talking about what he thinks, an important goal in his heart is to regain the position of the leader of Shilpini who once belonged to Abeni Rum return.
"Sufficient food and good medical skills are the most important conditions for the survival and growth of the tribe!" Daves said in a heavy tone: "The forces around Campania and Lucania around the Samona were afraid of not I am willing to communicate with you so that you have to rely on plunder to solve the problem of survival. Now Dionia is the only country willing to have friendly contacts with Samona, but the Samoni people reject our kindness and say something blasphemous. Only?! Regardless of the difficult life in the mountains, the priests of Hades have spent many years in Abeni Rum. How many sick Samonas have been rescued free of charge! How many difficult Samonas have been helped! To you Say, Hades is an alien god, so what! I can say that the main gods of the Greeks were once alien gods, and it was the Greeks who had long-term contact with the surrounding forces such as Egypt and Persia. Eventually became our own deity, and now some Campania people even worship your **** Savoni to bless their livestock. And the priesthood that Hades is in charge of is the same as that of you Samonaes. The gods do not conflict with each other. You didn’t have a **** who masters death and **** before! Why don’t you try to accept it?!..."
Davos's sincere words made Gailny very uneasy. In fact, he was forced to contact Dionia at first because of helplessness. In fact, there was resistance in his heart. Listening to Davers's words at this moment, I have benefited a lot, and I feel a little guilty of wanting to explain.
Davers waved his hand and said: "Other Samona tribes are actually unwilling to accept Dionia's kindness. We don't force it, but I have to worry about Abenirum!"
Gerney was taken aback, and soon his eyes widened: "Your Majesty, what you said is that Lescuk will start a war against Abeni Rum?!"
"Once Shilpini no longer renews his contract with Dionia, he is likely to retaliate against Abeni Rum who disobeyed the decision of the Horde Alliance. You and Lescuk have been contradictory, don’t use me Let's talk more." Daves looked at him and said solemnly: "At that time, Dionia will support you again, and it may cause the second war between the kingdom and Samona! With Samona The war in China is not what I hoped for, and the Senate may also have difficulty making a decision to support you!"
Gerney was a little anxious when he heard this: "Does Dionia let Lescuk lead his troops to attack my Abeni Rum? Don’t forget that Abeni Rum is because he has been with Dionia. Friendly, will be abandoned by other Shillpini tribes!"
Davers looked calm, saw Gailny waving his hands excitedly, and slowly said: "This is just a guess from us. The Silpini Alliance headed by Beneventum may also be reluctant to take the risk. I chose to renew the contract because of the danger of losing the ally of Dionia. But no matter what, for your Abenirum, the danger is always there. There is a way...but it can make Abenirum completely The safety of--" At this point, Daves stopped talking.
Gerney immediately asked: "What is the solution?"
Daves did not answer directly, but instead asked without haste: "You Abenirum should have had a lot of contact with Potentia. Do you think that today's Potentia is related to ten years? How is it different from the previous one?"
What's the difference? ...Gerney's mind flashed past impressions of the Potentians: the biggest difference is probably the attitude towards the Samonais. In the past, the Potentians were afraid of the Samonais, but now they are not afraid of them. , On the contrary took the initiative to contact the Samonais, just like the Potentian Genat who they met when they came, and wanted to trade with Abenirum. In the past, Potentia was as poor and backward as Samona. If there were no major events, there was very little contact between the tribes. However, when they passed Potentia some time ago, they saw a vibrant town with many tribes. There are temporary bazaars or permanent small markets between the settlements. The reason is that the Dionians helped build some roads, which made the communication between the Potentia tribes quick and convenient...
Gerney was silent for a long while, with a certain alertness on his face, he whispered hesitantly: "Your Majesty, you want Abeni Rum... to become the "free city" of Dionia ……"
"Becoming a free city, except that it belongs to Dionia in name, Abeni Rum will not change anything, and it will get a lot of benefits, just like Potentia."
Davos spoke seductively lightly, while Gellney remained silent.
"Of course, this is just a suggestion of mine." Daves smiled and did not continue to push: "You can go back and think about it. In fact, it is not only Abeni Rum who has encountered such trouble, Laco. Nia also encountered the same problem, and we also gave them this advice."
Laconia? Gherny felt that the name was quite familiar, and he thought about it carefully: it seems to be a town in Kautini, which is located in the mountains to the north of Enona...
Gerney was surprised, but his mood relaxed a little: it turned out that Abeni Rum was not alone in facing the predicament against Samona’s tradition...

In the Territory of Delnia in Sicily, although the Ministry of Military Affairs has only organized one army here (the Eighth Army), there are two army camps: one in Tauromegnan, and more often as one. The fortress, because it cannot accommodate too many soldiers; the other is located on the northern edge of the Catania Plain, between the cities of Catana and Sikuli, where the real camp of the Eighth Army is.
At this time, the camp of the Eighth Army was full of people, and it was no longer the deserted scene of the past.
Galadmus led the pack into the barracks. Although there were soldiers coming and going on the road, and the soldier quarters of similar sizes and styles lined up on both sides, these did not affect him to where he wanted to go. After all, Before he was transferred to Naxos, the Ministry of Military Affairs transferred his military affiliation to the Eighth Army. He has trained in this barracks many times, and it can be said that he is very familiar, although he is only a reserve soldier.
Galadmus was walking on the slightly crowded passage, and he seemed to hear someone calling his name. He followed the reputation and saw a familiar figure.
Diocasis rushed to his side with a smile: "The blessing of the goddess of luck, let me see you here too."
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have shipped the newly harvested wheat here." Galladmus complained.
"What does it have to do with me?" Diocasis looked back at the long caravan and asked puzzledly.
