Chapter 111 The Voice of the People and Heney's Request

At the same time Hieronymus raided the Petaru tribe, the Senate held a meeting early in the morning, and there was a heated discussion about what to do with the three defecting elders.

First, Sedorum objected: he believed that even if the three had run back to Bruch without reporting to the Senate, it was not certain that they were about to defect.

This apparently defending their statement was immediately refuted by Scomblas, Terry Todmos, Stromboli, etc., but they really could not produce evidence to prove that "the three Petaru" It's a traitor", and by the end the discussion turned into a quarrel.

Until Cosenza's messenger arrived, reported the capture of Kadulke, and presented the confessions of his subordinates and slaves, Sedorum had nothing to say.

But at this time, Scomblas, Terry Todmos, Stromboli and the others had already been quarreled, and they all proposed to sentence these three to death, and said in a righteous manner: "Theo Dio" The Law of Nia stipulates that the highest punishment for treason is the death penalty. When the Dionysian Alliance was in danger, as the elders of Dionia, Petaru, Kadulke, and Bergam did not think about how to lead the people to defeat the enemy, but instead took the lead in inciting the people to defect from the alliance and plunged the country into a huge The predicament of this situation has brought huge danger to the alliance. If such a traitor does not kill, it is not enough for the common people to be angry, and if he does not kill, it is not enough to deter those who harbor dissent!

The Senate passed the proposal to "execute the death penalty for Bergam, Petaru, and Kadurke" with a high vote. Knowing this result, the Brutian senators such as Sedorum and Bachilippe were deeply concerned. And Scomblas, Terry Todmos and others also began to be wary of these Bruty elders.

At the critical moment when the Syracuse army was under pressure, the Dionian elders should have worked together to overcome the difficulties together, but now they have mutual suspicion and estrangement, which makes Kunogolata and Cornerus see In the eyes, in the heart. But the two of them had no better way to do this. They could only hope that Davos, the only one who could eliminate differences and unify everyone's knowledge, would return as soon as possible.

…………………………

And the news that "the elders of Bruti led the tribe to rebel" spread to the people of Turii, which caused an uproar.

The people just heard the bad news yesterday that "the army of Tarantum is approaching Amendolara", and the panic in their hearts has not dissipated, and they heard such bad news again today. Since the start of the war, one after another bad news has followed, and finally the people can no longer maintain their apparent calm. They gathered and protested loudly in front of the Grand Chamber of the Senate: Demanding that the senators take immediate and effective measures, as soon as possible Repel enemies and restore peace to Dionia.

But such a request is not so easy to achieve. When the elders of Kunogorata were struggling to appease and quell the anger of the people, a messenger from Lucaria arrived just in time.

After reading the battle report he brought,

Kunogola Taton felt relieved. He stood on the steps in front of the Senate, holding up the battle report in his hand, and shouted excitedly to the noisy crowd under the steps: "This is the battle report from Potentia. , the army led by Lord Davos has completely defeated the Samonais, and is on the way back to Turii!"

In an instant, the noisy sound under the steps disappeared, and a deafening cheer erupted immediately.

"Lord Davos is a great victory!!"

"Wan Sheng, Dionia!!"

"As I said earlier, Hades' oracle has stated that only Lord Davos can defeat the enemy and ensure the peace of Dionia!"

"You are right! Lord Davos is a descendant of Hades, and he is blessed by Hades!"

...

Amidst the cathartic cheers of the people, a voice suddenly burst out: "Let Lord Davos be the king!"

When the elders heard this shout, they were all a little stunned.

And the shouts of the people's gate not only did not stop, but finally merged into a thunderous cry, which echoed in the ears of the elders: "My blood is the king, and the alliance is safe!!!..."

…………………………

When the people of Turiyi shouted "Davos to be king", Davos was leading his army to the fortress of the Dara River.

Yesterday evening, when he entered Niutum, its chief executive Hermon told him: The South Italian Union failed to stop the Syracuse army from advancing north, and was forced to fight with the Syracuses in the Siridium, and finally failed miserably. . Today, except for Crotone, Lijim, and Taurena, which remain independent, the rest of the South-Italian alliance city-states have fallen...

Hearing this news, Davos was very surprised. He did not expect that the Syracuse army, under the ingenious and flexible mobilization of Dionysius, would attack one after another, both ferocious and vicious. Less than a month after he led his team away from Turii, the situation south of Dionysian Territory was so festering!

Dionysius is not easy, but he is a little underestimated! After realizing this problem, Davos, while blaming himself, also declined Hermon's evening banquet, and locked himself in the bedroom to think about Dionia's next countermeasures, so much so that one night he was devastated. Did not sleep well.

Early the next morning, he led the army to set off again. After all, what Hermon told him was the situation of the battle two or three days ago, and the ability of Dionysius and the advantage of the Syracuses were enough to lead the war to a situation that was even more unfavorable to Dionia, so he The main force must be led back to Turii as soon as possible.

Along the way, he deduced the battle situation in his heart, looking for a way to win.

After entering the Lahe Fortress, he stopped a little and rested for a while.

At this time, he called Henepolis and asked with concern: "Heney, are you really sure you won't come back, but will follow me to Turii?"

"My lord, I have made up my mind! Dionia is in danger now. As an ally, Laos should lend a helping hand to help Dionia defeat the powerful enemy!" Henepolis looked impassioned: "I Send someone to inform Uncle Arobmas, and send more soldiers to fight alongside the Dionysian Legion!"

Hearing this, Davos narrowed his eyes, he knew that Henepolis was willing to go to Turii, and there was another reason: this young man was tired of living like a cage in Laos, and he could not do anything. call the shots.

Davos pondered for a while and said, "Okay, you come with me, but you don't need to let Laos send troops. After all, Trina falls, and Laos needs enough soldiers to be stationed to prevent The Syracuses raided the port of Laos from the sea."

As long as Davos agrees with him to follow, whether to send more troops or not, Henepolis doesn't really care, he said happily: "Lord Davos, there is one more thing I want to ask for your permission."

"What's up?"

"I... Can I serve as your wartime secretary to help you write orders and collect information..." Henepolis asked in a low voice.

"Uh? Davers looked at him in surprise: "How could you have such an idea? "The consul of one city-state actually wants to serve as the secretary of the commander-in-chief of another city-state alliance. This is too expensive. People who don't know the inside story see it and think he is humiliating his allies.

"Lord, look... the last time you were in Poseidonia, you asked me to lead the army to intercept the fleeing Samonites, and when I saw those fierce-looking Samonites who came to us, my legs were smashed. I'm shaking... If it wasn't for Izam's help, I'd probably have run away..." Henepolis told his embarrassment without concealment: "So I understand now... I'm different from you, my lord. , I don't have the ability to lead a war at all. I like to read books and write things, but like my teacher Ancitanos, I look up a lot of materials and spend a lot of time thinking... This method is too boring.

And by staying by your side, my lord, I can not only help you, but also learn more about how you defeated the Samonites, and how you will defeat the Syracuses in the future... Such a brilliant process, not only I think You know, the people of Dionia... no! All the people of Greater Greece want to know! And I'll write it all out, it's sure to be very popular! ..." Henepolis said more and more excitedly.

Davers looked at him in surprise: This little guy wants to be a biographer!

However, Henepolis' request made him a little moved. According to what he knew from his previous life: when Alexander was on his expedition, there were special scholars who followed him and wrote monographs about him; when Hannibal invaded Italy, there were also scholars who followed him and wrote articles for him, saying that he was the liberation of Italy After Caesar crossed the Rubicon, there were also scholars who followed him, and even continued to write "The Spanish War" for him... Then, why can't I have it?

Thinking of this, Davos smiled and said, "Herney, I agree with you as my wartime secretary--"

"That's great, thank you sir!" As soon as Davos agreed, Henepolis immediately danced and shouted.

"Don't be too happy, I still have requirements. If you want to write a book about me in the future, the content must be reviewed by me, and I agree that you can publish the book when you publish it publicly, can you agree?! " Davos said with a serious face.

"Well, yes." Henepolis nodded again and again.

"And...you serve as my secretary, who will be in charge of your Laos troops?"

"Eriandos, he usually manages the army." When Henepolis said this, an image of a person immediately appeared in Davos' mind: Eriandos was Avinogi at the time. His right-hand man, his military ability is not weak, he led the army of Laos to march and camp along the way, in an orderly manner, and it is obvious that he is more loyal to Henepolis.

Davers expressed his approval: "Okay, go and explain to him, come to me tomorrow to report, and don't sleep late!"
