Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 87: The Xilu tribe’s request for help
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
Polyxis' words addressed the concerns of most Senate senators. The elders who were born in Turriy and Amendorara, including Kunogolata, have all suffered the disaster of destroying the city, so they have a sense of fear of war deep in their hearts. Anta Auris, Euricpus, and Pleades of Crimea supported their decision because they were newcomers and were closer to Corneros and Kunogolata.
Because the veterans of the main battle faction were not sent by Daves to other cities to hold important positions, such as Hilos, Sesta, Butler, etc.; they followed him to Tarantum, like Capus, Dera Kos, Antonios, Alexis, etc.
Only the military officer Felicius and the commercial officer Mariji decisively stated: We should support the Xilu tribe, stop the annexation of Cosenza, and not make the Bruti tribal alliance stronger.
Even Daves's other confidant, Melsis, was wavering because of fear of the outbreak of war and the consumption of a lot of money and material.
On the contrary, Weisba and Hermon, who were born in Lucania, expressed their support for the Xilu tribe based on similar experiences back then.
In general, there are few people who support the Xilu tribe, and most of the elders are opposed to interfering in Bruti’s internal affairs, so as not to cause war.
Polyxis is proud that his opinion has received the support of the majority in the Senate for the first time, and it is about to be passed.
At this moment, Plycinus stood up: "Dear elders, I remember that Master Daves briefly mentioned Bruty's thing before leaving. He worriedly said, "Bruty may become A big hidden danger for us Dionia!'. Therefore, any decision involving Bruti, I think it must be known to the Archon Daves, and he will make the final decision, especially when we cannot reach an agreement. When it comes to comments."
Plessinus is not an ordinary veteran. As the chief priest of the Hades Temple, he spends most of his energy on temple affairs, training young priests and saints, and perfecting various aspects of the temple. System and supervision of the construction of temples in other cities... It can be seen that Daves, the high priest, valued him very much and let him do things. Plycinus also rewarded Daves with his outstanding performance Trust, the fact that Hades’ beliefs can be accepted by people in other cities in Dionia in such a short period of time is inseparable from his efforts. Therefore, not only did he have a certain reputation among the Dionian people, but he also had weight in the Senate.
With his utterance, others will have to reconsider the true intention of what he said, after all, Daves is standing behind him.
Philipsius and Merses are also Daves' confidantes, but the two are focused on military affairs and obsessed with money, and they are not politically sensitive. Mariji is no stranger to politics. Unfortunately, he is a citizen of Persian origin. When Daves is not in the Senate, most of the elders in Turei and Amendorara tend to ignore his opinions intentionally or unintentionally.
Polyxis thought that Precinus was deliberately sabotaging his good deeds, and couldn't help but stand up again, and said angrily: "Daves! Daves! Isn't there Daves, the Senate? Can’t decide anything, can’t do anything!!"
Plessinus pretended to be surprised and said: "Master Pollux, in your eyes, don't we have anything to do?! Master Cunogolata and Master Cornellus serve Turri every day. , The prosperity and stability of Amendorara exhausted their energy! Lord Burks traveled all over the cities and villages of Dionia, supervising the people's farming of the fields! Lord Wisba and Hermon paid close attention to the tribes in the Lucania region Circumstances, please go to resolve their conflicts at any time! Master Stromboli created for Dionia a silver coin of our own alliance comparable to the Owl! Master Ancitanos is creating for the cities of Dionia New school! Master Helps is said to be calling on the cities of Great Greece to hold the first medical seminar in Greece! Master Protsilus will propose new bills every once in a while to improve the laws of Dionia ! The Union Public Service Management Committee headed by Lord Tritodemos is concerned about the appointment and performance of each city official every day! Lord En'anilus oversees the construction of the warship and trains the navy hard! Scone! Lord Mbras..."
Plessinus will salute that person respectfully every time he tells the story of a veteran’s work, and the elder whose name is mentioned will also respond with a smile. Most of the elders have said once: "The reason why we have so many things to work out and enjoy in it is that it is because of the talented leadership of Lord Daves that we can have today's powerful Dionia and let We don’t have to worry about being invaded by other city-states, and we can safely govern the increasingly large alliance territory! Who of us has better military talents than Master Daves? Have better leadership skills? Have a stronger understanding of the situation Judgment?..."
"No one!" Although it was only Melses's answer alone, all the elders were silent, and more or less agreed with this sentence in their hearts.
"In this case, when encountering such a major event related to the safety of the Dionian League, even if Lord Daves is not there, we should listen to his opinions before making a decision. Because no one can do better than him. Make the right judgment!" Plessinus's words left a very small group of senators who were mainly Pollux and dissatisfied with Davers's excessive control of the Senate. It is true that there is nothing wrong with the decisions Daves has made so far, and Dionia will develop so fast.
At this time, Kuno Gorata stood up and supported the proposal of "determining the issues of the Xilu tribe to Daves".
The elders of Amendola, headed by Cornelus, and Ansitanos, Burcos, Enanilus, Massissacus, the elders of Turei, all agreed to this matter. It was confirmed.
After the meeting, Plessinas and Helps walked out of the meeting room together. The two were discussing whether some Hades believers, freedmen and Gentiles, could be treated by the hospital first because they had no money to treat their illness. , And then advanced by the relief fund just established by the Hades Temple (this money is also donated by the Dionian people when they come to the temple to pray).
"Priest in charge!" Plessinas heard someone calling him, and when he looked back, Mariji hurried to catch up: "If it weren't for you just now, the Xilu tribe's request for help would probably be rejected! "
After two years of training in specific government affairs, Plessinus has become much more mature and stable than before. He immediately said modestly: "I actually didn't do anything. Regardless of Pollux’s screaming, his persuasive ability is actually very average."
"Yes, Pollux has been very active recently!" Mariji said intentionally.
"Don't worry, he can't do anything." Plesinas replied immediately.
"This Pollux is so annoying, why did he get him into the Senate in the first place?!" Helps, who doesn't care about medicine and doesn't care much about politics, interjected.
Plessinus coughed a few times.
At the beginning, Daves led his army to repulse Crotone’s army and wanted to take control of Turiyi, in order to appease and stabilize the people of Turiyi, but also to attract useful talents. Some people who survived the burning of the city People of fame, status, and talent were recruited into the Senate, including Plycinus, who had fought against Davers. Facts have proved that this method is very effective. Not only did the people of Turiyi quickly accept the Amendorara headed by Daves, but also a lot of talents, such as Burkos, Plessinas, Ansitanos, Admiral En'anilus...
Helps's unthinking words embarrassed Plessinas, and Mariji stepped forward to relieve the siege: "Master Felicius is going to hold a banquet tonight. Is Master Plessinas interested in attending? "
Plessinus' eyes lit up. He knew that although he was valued by Daves, Daves trusted the most with the former mercenary veterans and citizens with whom he was born and died, and these people are more united. , Is the most powerful political force in Dionia, especially in the military. Does an invitation to myself now mean that I am recognized by this group?
………………………
The next day, when Daves, Diomilas, Eumarkas, Trifias, and Tudpres discussed the army’s next action plan, they diverged again.
Trifias believes that although the coalition forces won the "victory" in this battle, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties and should not continue the attack. Instead, they should withdraw to the city for repairs and wait for the Maple coalition forces to attack again when they invade.
Diomilas is inclined to this opinion from the heart, but as the commander of this Tarantum army, the civilian soldiers suffered such heavy casualties and few results. When the people knew the situation, they would pour out their anger on him. There must be a decent record to prevent him from being impeached by the Citizens' Assembly. Therefore, he suggested: take a rest, continue to the north and attack Brindisi. If Maple's coalition forces stop, then fight with them. This time it was fighting on the plains, where the Greek heavy infantry and the Greek phalanx were useful, while the Cavalry of the Maple coalition had already suffered heavy losses. Therefore, although the number of the Greek coalition forces in this battle was small, they would definitely have the upper hand. If Maple’s coalition forces avoid the war, they will capture Brindisi, rescue the captured Tarantum people, obtain the spoils, and take the indigenous people in the city as captives, return them to Tarantum, and turn them into slaves to please the people. Make up for it.
Yumakas had similar ideas, but Tudpres had too many casualties due to Metapontum’s soldiers, and this time he clearly supported Trifias’s opinion.
