Hearing this, Okriton immediately wanted to refute, but Hakkar raised his voice again and said sharply: "Now, the Magonis family has paid a heavy price for that war, and you Hanno Has the pie been punished?! At least not now!
Especially after the death of Aisi Yaruba, your Hannos have completely controlled the Senate, and many neutral senators had to switch to you. Just the year before, you actually called that person the ‘Great Hanno’! What a ridiculous thing! A culprit that led to the defeat of the war, a sinner who turned the once powerful Carthage into an ordinary city-state now admired by others, actually has the face to call himself ‘great’! "
Hakkar laughed contemptuously, and Okriton remained silent.
Hakkar looked at him and said in a deep voice, "It seems that you still have an opinion on Hanno's shameless behavior. Now the gods have given me the right to make people who do wrong things be punished. I said that it was your luck to meet me! If my brother Hasdruba was here, he would want to kill all the elders of Carthage, in order to shed his anger that he was defeated in the past; if it was Dido Here, she has always believed that her father, Marge, died in battle and that all the people of Carthage could not escape responsibility. She wanted to let everyone be punished!"
Speaking of this, Haka paused intentionally.
When Okriton heard this, he was really worried: He didn’t think Hakkar was frightening him. Dido and Hasdruba were both important members of the Magonyd family. Okriton Of course, they have a deep understanding of them. The possible revenge they may have against Carthage is indeed in line with her two personalities. Even though they are not in Turriy now, one becomes the commander of the Dionian army, They regained the right to lead soldiers, and the other is the only prince and concubine of the Dionian royal family. They also gave birth to two little princes. They will naturally be loved by the royal family. If they have always held hatred against Carthage, this It is indeed a terrible thing.
"And I--" Haka said firmly, "I only ask the Carthage Senate to remove the main leaders of Hannoism like Hanno, Tepanrak... etc. And his family were expelled from Carthage, so that they will also experience the pain we endured back then, so I can guarantee that the grievances between our brothers and sisters and the Carthaginians will be wiped out! By the way, these people do not include you, because your majesty I think you are pretty good."
Oklidon was not happy because he was able to escape the punishment, but solemnly said: "I'm sorry, but the Carthage Senate cannot expel a few people with high prestige because of your threats. The veteran——"
"They will!" Haka said confidently: "When the entire population of Carthage found out that Eastern Numibian attacks were becoming more frequent, Carthage merchants could not enter the kingdom of Dionian and When their allies traded, when they knew that all this was caused by the Hannos, would you say that they would collectively protest to the Senate to get rid of these black sheep? Just like when they collectively protested against our Magoni Like the German family!"
Although the water in the pool is getting hotter and hotter, Okriton's heart is getting colder and colder. He is making the final struggle inwardly: "You... your actions are against the peace agreement..."
"I did not violate." Hakkar looked at him straightforwardly: "As long as Carthage expelled Hanno and joined the Kingdom of Dionian, I can assure you that the Carthaginians will live longer than they used to. Better, and this is what our family hopes to see!"
As a diplomatic veteran of the Carthage Senate, Okriton felt for the first time that he was so powerless and that everything was not under his control. This made him feel very flustered. He bowed his head. Looking at the steaming pool water in front of him, he whispered: "After meeting with King Daves, I will consider your suggestions."
Hakkar chuckled lightly: "Master Okriton, don't you understand? Your Majesty will never see you. He has given me the right to handle Carthage's foreign affairs."
Okliton was shocked. He looked at Hakkar again with despair but more pleading in his eyes. He opened his mouth with difficulty, but said nothing.
Hakkar showed sympathy and said softly: "I know it’s difficult for you to make these decisions, but no matter how difficult it is, in order for the Carthaginians to survive better, and for Your family can continue to live in the land you are familiar with. You must make a decision as soon as possible, because time is waiting for no one. Once September is over, the north wind that represents the arrival of the cold winter will blow..."
Okliton's heart suddenly became cold.
Looking at Okriton's desperate departure, Hakkar felt an unspeakable indulgence in his heart. He poured himself another glass of wine, raised it high, and said sincerely: "Thank your majesty for giving me An opportunity for revenge!"
After speaking, he drank in one gulp.
………………………………………………
In the next two days, Okriton was still trying to get the opportunity to meet King Daves through various channels, but they all failed without a doubt. Although the celebration was about to begin, he still had the intention to stay in Turei, eagerly returned to Carthage by boat, and began to secretly discuss countermeasures with someone.
On September 9, the Hades celebration began.
People from various towns in the kingdom crowded on both sides of the main road in the city of Turiyi, sending flowers and cheers to the soldiers who marched from the military camp in the north and went to the Victory Square for inspection. They were from various legions and branches. Outstanding soldiers and officers drawn from the fleet and cavalry, who have participated in many battles and made great achievements. They proudly hold the flags of their corps and companies, and pass through the three triumphal arches of Turri one after another.
The Arc de Triomphe is engraved with the most important battle pictures of the Crotone War, the Southern Italian War, and the Western Mediterranean War. It also represents the three most critical moments that Dionia has experienced since its establishment: the establishment of an alliance. The battle of the war, the war of founding a nation, and the war of a powerful nation.
A parade composed of legionaries passed below them one after another, which means that it is this powerful army formed by citizens that enables Dionia to grow from weak to strong and eventually become a powerful kingdom.
Behind the army followed a parade composed of people from more than a dozen regions of the kingdom. Compared with the uniform soldiers, their queues were very loose, but they were more lively. They were excited and enthusiastic with the people on the street. The interaction makes the celebration atmosphere more lively and joyous.
The whole team of the game fluttered with flags and cheers, and they walked into the Victory Square.
On the podium in front of the Grand Chamber of the Senate, Daves led the important officials of the Kingdom, the main elders, dressed in costumes, stood upright, and watched a team pass by with a smile on their faces.
On both sides of the observatory, the invited allies, friendly envoys and distinguished guests witnessed this unprecedented grand celebration, but their expressions were different: some were really happy for Dionia, such as Wolsey People, Helnikians, etc.; some are fortunate to be able to join the Dionian League in time, such as Etruscans, Samonis, etc.; some are worried and scared, such as the Sidicinis Wait.
After all, when the entire parade filled the Victory Square, and the surrounding square was also densely populated by spectators, the center of Turriyine City became a sea of people, with a total of 70 or 80 thousand people, more than one. The number of city-states is equal to that of a big race, and this is just a fraction of the huge population of the Kingdom of Dionian.
The sound of people in the square is suffocating.
But when Daves walked to the front of the podium, the inside and outside of the square quickly recovered tranquility. Only the voices of Daves and the speaker reverberated over the square:
"Citizens of the Kingdom of Dionia, we are gathered here today to worship the celebration of Hades. Since the establishment of Dionia, we have encountered many difficulties and setbacks in the past 20 years. , But under the blessing of Hades, under our concerted efforts, we have survived one difficulty after another.
Today we can stand up our chests and declare to the whole world that Dionia has become a powerful kingdom. Not only will we not be afraid of any enemy’s challenge, but we will also help any country that wants to make good friends with us. The forces provide support and protection!
The **** Hades is very satisfied with all the achievements Dionia has achieved. He sent an oracle, not only will continue to bless the people of the kingdom, but also allow the kingdom of Dioria to be crowned with sacred Name, any enemy who dares to offend the kingdom is like a direct infringement on the territory of this great god, and will be punished and cursed by him!
Citizens, thank the great Hades! Cheers for the Holy Kingdom of Dionia! "
As soon as Davers's voice fell, cheers like a tsunami erupted from inside and outside the square: "The benevolent Hades wins!!!"
"Sacred Kingdom of Dionia is victorious!!!"
……
The face of every citizen who raised his arms and shouted was filled with fanaticism. Since then, they have firmly believed that they are supported by life and death, and no longer fear any dangers and difficulties, because they are already that great god. Only the people on the ground.
In the frenetic atmosphere, the personnel of the inspection department who maintained order began to arrange for the parade to leave the venue gradually. Then large-scale theatrical performances began, "The Birth of Hades", "The Establishment of Dionia"... one after another traditional kingdom plays were staged in the square.
The actors in the square acted very hard, and the audience outside also watched extremely intently, bursting into applause and cheers from time to time.
When the last play "Battle in Sicily" was drawing to a close, the sun had risen to the center of the sky.
