Chapter 124 The Return of the King Continued

Davos even took a leisurely look at the gushing spring on the southwest side of the square from a distance. It can be said that this spring that Davos had never seen before was on his way to becoming a king. It played a key role. An underground spring that had been depleted for five years suddenly came back to life at such a special moment. Such a miraculous thing made Davos think: Is there really a god in this world? !

His eyes couldn't help looking at the white Hades temple on the hill behind the northwest side of the square...

Standing on the platform in front of the Senate building, overlooking the neatly arranged First and Second Legions in the square, and the people standing in order on both sides of the Legion, even though these Dionian people are eager to know the answer, but They remained relatively calm under the command of the patrol, and the habit of abiding by the social order developed in the Dionysian Union over the years was quite fruitful.

Davos sighed in his heart, and then shouted loudly: "First, the warriors of the Second Legion! You have traveled thousands of miles to fight against the invading Samonais in the unfamiliar mountains with dense rocks and difficult roads. There are more Samonites than us, far more fierce than our former enemies, you have no fear, you fought bravely, completely defeated them, and ensured that the northwest frontier of the alliance will not be sabotaged for a long time in the future. The Monet threat, the Alliance should thank you! The Senate should thank you! The people should thank you too!

After a series of battles, you should have gone home and repaired, but now you can't! You should all know that when we were far away in Potentia, the army of the Syracuses boldly invaded Greater Greece and defeated the southern Italian coalition in the battle. Many soldiers of the Fifth and Fourth Legions were killed. Captured, Siridium fell, Trina was captured, Corenia surrendered, and the front of the Syracuses had reached Asprustum and Crotone.

The alien cavalry they hired has invaded the Croton Plain, burned and looted our land, and brutally cut off the heads of women, children and children...

The vast fleet of Syracuse roamed the Ionian and Tyrrhenian seas, cutting off our trade routes, ramming our ships, blocking our ports, landing on our shores, slaughtering our people, burn down our village...

Our former ally Tarantum also betrayed us when we were in trouble, not only captured our ally Metapontum, but now he is attacking Heraclea, and also sent soldiers in Amendolara, our Burning and looting on the land...

There are also the elders of the Senate, Petaru, Kadulke, and Bergam, who were secretly bribed by the Syracuses (in fact, there was no such thing, it was these three who had long been opposed, and Davos asked Syrah to Kuza took the blame), when we were in the most difficult time, we actually deceived a part of the Bruti people into rebellion..."

When Davos said this, the soldiers who were listening intently in the square finally had a commotion. Many soldiers also learned something during the process of entering the city, but they did not expect the whole situation of the alliance to be so bad: even the elders of the Senate There has been betrayal! !

Daves looked solemn,

He shouted again: "Brothers, after the hard battle, you should have gone home to rest and reunite with your family, but in the face of countless Union people who have lost their relatives and homes, can you stay at home with peace of mind?! "

"cannot!!"

"We don't want to rest, we have to keep fighting!!"

"When all the enemies are repelled, we will repair it!!"

...

The soldiers shouted excitedly.

Davos nodded, with tears in his eyes, and said with some choking: "There is a saying, 'You can only know who the hero of the city state is in danger.' After the failure of the battle in the south, in order to protect the other comrades to retreat safely, he personally broke the back and was finally seriously wounded and captured... The evil Syracuse tried to humiliate him under the city of Aspurustum to attack the fourth and fifth legions The morale of Drax for the safety of the Alliance... Drax... slammed into the ground and died..."

The soldiers in the square and the people couldn't believe their ears when they heard the news, especially the soldiers of the Second Legion, where Drakes had served as the commander of the legion, shouted: "Lord Davos. , is this true?! Captain Drax died?!"

"Commander Drakes, how could such a strong guy... be dead?!"

The soldiers shouted, tears were already streaming down their cheeks, and there were cries in the square.

Davos wiped his tears and continued to shout loudly: "Commander Drakes shouted before he died, 'Long live the Dionysian Legion! Avenge me!' This is what he expects of us! I , as the supreme commander of Dionia, give orders to all of you who are warriors, and never withdraw troops until the enemy is killed!"

"Vengeance for Captain Drax!!!"

"Fight to the death with the Syracuses!!!"

...

The soldiers in the square were excited. They drew out their short swords, slapped their long shields, and made a huge sound of "Boom! Boom!", and all the roars finally turned into the same voice: "Vengeance! Revenge!! Revenge!!!... …”

This cry from the bottom of my heart is like a rumbling thunder, condensing the anger and sadness of the soldiers, resounding every inch of the land ravaged by the enemy...

Even the elders such as Kunogolata and Cornerus, who were standing silently in front of the Senate, couldn't help shouting "revenge", and Davos even more so. Shaking his right fist and roaring with the soldiers.

After a long time, Davos withdrew his fist, and the soldiers gradually returned to quiet.

Davos swallowed his saliva to moisten his hoarse voice and prepared to continue his speech, but this time his target was the people on both sides of the first and second legion arrays: "The people of Dionia! The alliance has grown from a small Amendolara to today's vast Dionia. Although it has only been four or five years, we have experienced many dangers and faced many threats from powerful enemies. We are united as one. , In the end, they all defeated the enemy, overcame the difficulties, and broke through, and there will be today's Dionia.

And today an even stronger foe stands in our way, Syracuse, jealous of our rapid rise, will kill us all to prevent our alliance from growing into a nation capable of threatening its hegemony. You must understand that this is no longer a question of whether we stop fighting, surrender or not, but the key to survival of "either you die or I live"! So the Syracuses mobilized all the troops they could mobilize, spent a huge amount of money and resources, and launched this massive war. It's going to wipe out our alliance, take over our lands, and turn us and our children into slaves, just as they destroyed Sirius! "

Davos paused for a moment, the death-like silence in the square, both the soldiers and the people looked pale and shuddered when they thought of the tragic scenes that Davers had described.

"People!" Davos's voice softened a little: "I know that in this war that has just begun, some of you have lost your relatives, some of your friends, some of you have lost your home, some of you have lost. Lost land...and we may lose more. But we have no choice, in order not to suffer such a tragic fate for us and our children and grandchildren, we must fight bravely against the tyrannical Syracuses In the end! As long as we are united, at this difficult time, the people who have food and food help the hungry people, the people who have housing help the people who have no housing, and everyone helps each other like a family to get through this difficult time together! I , Davos, the consul of the alliance assures you that you will soon hear the news of one victory after another! There must be light after the dark night, and after this difficulty, what awaits the Dionysian alliance will be even more brilliant tomorrow!!"

Davos' final promise made the depressed people excited again.

"Lord Davos, we will never be slaves, we will fight with you to the end!"

"Lord Davos, as long as you are here, I believe we will win!"

"That's right, Lord Davos is a favored one, and with the blessing of Hades, we will not fail!"

...

"Everyone, don't forget the oracle that Hades gave us!" In the excited shouts of the people, a voice suddenly reminded everyone: "Pluto said, 'Only Lord Davos is king, we can get the final Victory!'"

"Yes, he also used divine power to revive the spring water to urge us to realize this oracle!" Another voice shouted

...

The legionnaires were a little dazed as they listened to the excited expressions of the people on both sides saying something like "The Oracle... Lord Davos becomes the king".

Antonios vaguely guessed something, and he looked up at Davos on the platform ahead.

Davos, on the other hand, looked calm and looked down at the plaza that had become a little boiling.

The elders behind him, such as Kunogolata and Cornerus, were all nervous.

At that moment, a word that shocked them shouted in the mouths of countless people: "Let Lord Davos... be the king!"

"Let Lord Davos be the king!"

"King Davos!"

"King Davos!!"

"King Davos!!!"

...

The reason why the shouting was getting louder and louder was because the soldiers also joined the team one after another. Although they still didn't understand the reason, they let their beloved consul and victorious commander Davos be the king. , continue to lead them to victory, seems to be a matter of course.
