Chapter 125 Covenant Chapter 3
Listening to the unanimous shouts from the audience, Davos turned to look at Kunogolata, Cornerus and the others. And these elders also looked at Davos, and no one spoke first...
However, the shouting in the square grew louder and louder, causing Kunogolata, Cornerus and the others to feel the entire platform shaking.
At this time, Davos said: "This is the voice of the people of Dionia!"
The elders understood that this sentence signified that Davos did not refuse the request of the people at all, just as he did not delay the people's request for him to be a life-long consul in Amendolara. With a little disappointment, after a brief confirmation by the elders such as Kuno Gorata and Kuno Gorata, all the elders stepped forward together. Firth, said slightly mockingly: "Congratulations, Lord Davos!"
Davos didn't avoid his eyes and smiled slightly.
Kunogolata grabbed Davos' right hand and raised it high.
The shouts in the square came abruptly, and both the people and the soldiers watched the platform intently, looking forward to the arrival of that sacred moment.
"After the strong request and election of the people of Dionia, the Senate, after careful consideration, decided to respond to your call and passed a new bill, and now I announce-" Kunogolata looked down at the densely packed square in the square The crowd suppressed the negative emotions in their hearts and said loudly: "Consul Davos becomes the king of the Dionysian city-state alliance!"
The square is full of cheers...
Zantiparis, the captain of the First Legion, looked at Davos, who held his right hand high and poised on the platform, and couldn't help but recall the young mercenary who was a blockbuster at the National Army Conference six years ago. The leader, in only six years, he has changed from an obscure lowly mercenary to the king of the powerful city-state alliance in the Western Mediterranean. Hades really loves this Greek too much!
And the two legion commanders, Antonios and Amyntas, as well as the soldiers of the first and second legions who had followed Davos from Persia to the present day mercenaries cheered wildly. They witnessed Dave with their own eyes. It is a miracle that Si has grown from an ordinary mercenary to the king of a powerful city-state alliance in the Western Mediterranean today, and they are all honored!
At this moment, the vast majority of people are excited and cheered that the alliance has a king, and their hearts are no longer worried and confused, and very few people are lost...
Davos's heart was also full of emotions, and he even felt like he was in a dream: King, just got it like this? !
An uncontrollable smile spread across his face,
He didn't even care that his hand was a little sore from Kunogolata's pinching, the long-awaited goal was successfully achieved, and he didn't allow others to vent!
Davos did not allow himself to be too complacent, he took a few steps forward, came to the edge of the platform, and was closer to the people in the square. After the cheers subsided a little, he said sincerely: "The citizens of Dionia! The people of Dionia! Thank you for your trust in me!
We all know that the Greeks hate royal government, because the king has supreme power and is above the law, and can oppress and humiliate the people of the city state arbitrarily, but I, the king, were elected by you, and my power was given by you, so I am The king will not regard the laws of the alliance as nothing, and I am not a king above, but a king of the people, and a king who must obey the laws of the alliance just like you! I'm here to make a promise with you..."
Davos slowly raised his right hand, palms outward, and said very cautiously: "As the king of Dionia, I will promise to do the following. First, we must ensure the safety of the alliance's territory and the people, not to Being bullied and invaded by foreign forces; secondly, we must ensure the improvement of citizens’ lives and prevent them from falling into poverty; thirdly, we must ensure the normal operation of the Union’s laws and not interfere with the law, even if I violate the law, I will also be punished. legal punishment.
Hades is above, if one day I no longer strive to maintain any of these three guarantees, then please don't take care of me! And you, the people of the alliance, don't have to support me as king anymore, this is the promise that I, Davos, made as king! "
At this moment, the soldiers and people in the square were moved by Davos's sincere words. They no longer just regarded Davos as the king as a kind of spiritual comfort and a way to obtain Hades' blessing, but the true heart of Davos. accepted the fact that Davos was king.
"King Davos is victorious!!!..." The cheers like a tsunami of mountains and tsunamis continued, expressing their mood at the moment.
Even the elders such as Kunogolata and Cornerus let go of their worries and losses. Davos still made such a promise when he obtained the greatest power in the league, which was beyond their expectations and made them feel Maybe they made the right decision. The new king of Dionia they proposed will be the most unusual king in the entire Mediterranean country!
………………………………
In the afternoon, Kunogolata and Cornerus left the city of Turii and came to the barracks to the north.
The originally empty camp was already overcrowded.
After Davos was elected King of Dionia, he neither celebrated nor stayed with the Senate to continue discussing follow-up matters, but on the grounds that the current situation was tense and the military should be the main reason, he really led the first and second The second legion left the lively and comfortable city and came to the simple and lonely military camp. Not only did the soldiers not go home, but Davos also did not go home to take a look, even though his mansion was not far from the Senate, even though his beloved wife had just given birth to a child. The strong self-control and endurance of the young Davos made Kunogolata, who has a long history in politics and countless people, amazed: it is no wonder that he can achieve this career!
After obtaining permission from the camp guard, the two walked straight to the center of the camp.
The soldiers chatting casually on both sides of the passage will greet them friendly. After all, the soldiers of the First and Second Corps are citizens of Turii and Amendolara, and they have done a lot for the two cities. The elders who have contributed greatly are very familiar with and respected.
"It can be seen that they are very relaxed!" Cornelus said while nodding to the soldiers in return.
"After all, they are the strongest troops in Dionia, and they also have the most powerful commanders in the whole of Greater Greece. If they are all nervous, the alliance will be really dangerous." Kunogolata said calmly.
"You're right." Cornelus sighed: "It's all down to Davos! But I have to blame him..."
Kunogorata was taken aback.
Cornerus laughed: "Six years ago, when I was imprisoned in the temple of Zeus and prayed to the gods, I never imagined that one day Amendolara and this alliance would become the overlord of the Western Mediterranean, Thera. An enemy that Kuza is bent on destroying."
This Cornelus, who only knows how to do things, actually made a joke, which shows how much Davos' return has affected everyone's morale. It made Kunogorata also think: If the alliance really wins Syracuse this time, what will Dionia's future development be like? !
Mersis came head-on, he was depressed, and when he saw Kunogorata and the others, he just nodded and said hello, without any interest in speaking.
Kunogolata could guess the reason why Mersis was so rude: after Davos returned with his army, in order to fulfill his promise, if he wanted to repel the strong enemy and restore Dionysian peace, he had to convene More troops, which means that the input of the national treasury and the consumption of food must be increased. How can Mersis, who depends on money as his life, feel better.
Even Kunogolata and Cornerus couldn't help but worry deeply: it was understandable to expand the army to repel the enemy. But what will happen if the war goes on for a long time, and what will happen to the alliance that is short of domestic labor and depleted of resources?
Then, the two of them saw several weapons merchants headed by Tios walking towards them, and their expressions were also solemn, but when they saw the two elders, they still respectfully saluted and said hello.
"Theos, what kind of weapons did Lord Davos ask you to make again?" Kunogolata recognized him, because he was mainly responsible for the overall equipment replacement of Dionia's army, although there were a large number of them. His equipment was traded in for new ones, but he also made a lot of money because of it, and he will continue to make it, because new citizens may buy new legion weapons and equipment in his weapon shop. However, he was clever and donated part of the money he earned to the public buildings of Dionia, which not only made himself a citizen of Dionia, but also won the favor of many elders and most of the people.
For this reason Kunogolata asked casually, but Tios looked embarrassed: "My lord, Davos... King Davos asked us to keep a secret, otherwise—" He cut his throat The action, the two elders froze in their hearts.
Cornelus asked hesitantly: "That should cost a lot of money, right?"
Theos and the other two businessmen were even more bitter: "King Davos let us advance the money first."
Hearing this, the two elders were relieved: fortunately, Davos still maintained a clear head and did not go to war.
Seeing the two businessmen leave, Cornaros reminded hesitantly, "Lord Davos has become the king of Dionia. Should we call him... should we change it?"
Kunogolata was stunned for a moment: Yes, even these businessmen cleverly changed their names. As the elders of the Senate, they kept calling 'Sir Davos'. It was not obvious to tell others, and I didn't want to admit it. New law?
