Chapter 175 The Proud Quinn Duke
"Yes, after Abenerum becomes a free city of Dionia, we can not only participate in regional rugby and football games, participate in the celebration of Hercules, but also freely enter and exit Dionia. towns, to trade the food and other goods we want... Later, when Abenirum encounters dangers and difficulties, like last year's drought, Dionia can also help Portentia Help us at any time..." Maione also said excitedly.
Gellney was stunned. This was completely different from what he expected. He asked suspiciously: "You... Aren't you worried that Abenerum will no longer be our Abenerum in the future?"
"Leader, what's there to worry about! Look at Potentia, it's been more than ten years, it's still the same Potentia, but the people there are much richer than us! You must know that more than ten years ago, there The Lucanians are poorer than us!..." Maione said with emotion.
His words were shared by others.
Gellney suddenly understood: In recent years, Dionia has invited Abenerum people to participate in the Dionysian Rugby Finals and other celebrations many times, which has broadened the horizons of the people who were originally trapped in the mountains. While enjoying the warm hospitality of the Dionians, they also saw the wealth and power of this southern neighbor, which not only made them let go of their guard, but also aroused their yearning. Compared with the exclusion and oppression of Beneventum and other tribes, they prefer to choose the kingdom of Dionia, which is not of the same race.
Thinking of this, Gellney felt fortunate that he had made this decision in time, but also felt a little disappointed. He quickly picked up his mood and said in a deep voice, "Meyony, you immediately go to see the messenger of Dionia, and ask for help. He explained that Abenerum is willing to become a free city in the kingdom, and is willing to implement Dionia's plan immediately. But once the plan is implemented, I believe that other Shirpini tribes will soon contact us and ask to redeem them The ethnic group, so you have to discuss with him how the next plan should be implemented."
"Uh, and—" Gaerney looked directly at Meyoni, and solemnly reminded: "You must remind the Dionysian messenger not to disclose the news that we have become the Dionysian Free City for the time being, because this It will prevent us from wooing the other Shilpini tribes! Also, we need the military support of Dionia to defend against the retaliation of the Beneventum and other tribes!"
"Boss, I remember, I'll do it right now." Maione got up and walked out.
…………………………………………
Quindok is the head of the Kautini tribe's union in Nakonia, a position he has held for over twenty years. More than ten years ago, he led the Nakonian warriors and participated in the invasion of Potentia under the orders of the then chief Cautini, and was defeated and captured, and stayed in Dionia for two years. Many were eventually released home.
But unlike what happened to Gellney, he still received the support of the big chief, and soon took the position of the joint chief of the tribes in the Nakonia region again.
However, a few years later, he was the most optimistic successor of the Kautini people, and he lost to Segovani and failed to become Kautini's new chief chief, mainly because Segovani used the wave The fiasco of Tentia spread "rumours" against him, causing many tribes to give up their support for him.
The reason why Quinn Duke has been strengthening his contacts with Dionia is that on the one hand he has seen Dionia's power and thinks that Cautini and even the entire Samonay can't match it; on the other hand, he He has always been bitter about not being elected as the leader. Since then, he has never been to Kautim City, nor has he seriously carried out any of Segovani's orders.
With the establishment of the Papania town of Enona, the exchanges between Nakonia and Dionia became more and more frequent, not only in terms of trade and employment, but also cultural and religious exchanges. This has greatly benefited the tribes of Nakonia. The tribes were able to eat without risking their lives every year to loot, and the priests of Hades and the doctor of Dionysus helped in sick and childbirth. , and don't just rely on prayers to the gods...
Other Kautini tribes need to invade the Campania alliance from time to time to ensure the survival and development of the tribe, while the tribes of Nakonia only need to develop silently. After seven or eight years, their population has greatly increased and food is sufficient. , with better weapons and equipment (Dionia did not prohibit the trade of iron and weapons with Naconia), which made it one of the largest towns in the Kautini region, no less than Kautim.
Therefore, the emboldened Quinduc repeatedly strongly criticized Segovani's risky practice of violating the Dionysian Covenant and looting the Campania Alliance, and never allowed the tribes of Nakonia to participate in this. This kind of looting, not because he really wanted to befriend the kingdom of Dionia, and the Greeks, and in fact he never responded to Dionysian's calls to Nakonia for the rugby finals and other celebrations. Invitation, the Hades priest sent by Enona to preach in Nakonia was also secretly restricted, because he just wanted to regain the position of the chief leader, so he opposed Segovani everywhere and destroyed his prestige.
And the opportunity finally came.
Segovani invaded the Campania League again, only to be defeated by the Dionysians and captured himself. When the Kautini tribes fell into shock and grief, Quinduck then jumped out and demanded that a new chief be elected immediately to help the entire Kautini tribe tide over the difficulties.
However, the tribes headed by Usibek and other Cauteim leaders were reluctant to let the Nakonians, who had close ties with the Dionysians and even began to believe in alien gods, take power. They first turned to other tribes. Asking for help, the meeting of the four major tribes was soon held in Kautim, and secretly obtained the promise of the chief leaders to "declare war on Dioria and rescue the captured tribes".
Then, Usibek and the others joined the high priest and some other regional leaders to make a statement: The Kautini tribes should now take the rescue of their own people as their first priority, and the election of the high leader should be taken back.
Seeing that there was no response from other tribes, Quinduk, who was alone, had no choice but to temporarily shut down and peep at the development of the situation.
Quindok was delighted that Cautini's messenger for peace talks was rejected by the Dionysians. But a few months later, he was surprised when the Samone raided the Dionysian Downs area. The news that Dionia agreed to exchange prisoners (including Segovani) made him even more infuriated.
But then the successive fiascoes of the Samonai made him happy again. On the one hand, he publicly announced: "Since the captured people have been released, should the re-election of the chief leader be put on the agenda?" On the other hand , he quietly sent people to various regions to spread the news, saying, "The reason why Kautini suffered before was the result of the incompetence of Segovani's command... A person who has been captured is still qualified to serve as a commander." Chief?" ... He still applied the tricks that Segovani had done to him back then.
Finally, this time, the tribes responded to Nakonia's proposal, began to discuss the re-election of the chief leader, and finally set the location of this tribal gathering at Lola ().
Quinduk is happy about this, because in the past the place where the Kautini tribe met was often near Kautim in the eastern mountains, because that was the birthplace of the Kautini tribe, but Quinduk was not. It is too reassuring, after all, it is too close to the seat of the tribes ruled by Segovani and Ussibek, and Lola is located in the western plains and is close to Nakonia, which is more beneficial to him.
What he was excited about was that this was the result he strived for, but he was able to achieve it in the end, which just showed that the tribes of Kautini had realized that they could no longer fight against Dionia after experiencing repeated failures. The importance of his relationship with Dionia is highlighted.
Realizing that he was in a position to win, Quindok led the other chiefs of the tribes of Naconia happily to Lola.
Since the leaders of the entire Kautini tribes brought their guards together to Lola, the urban area could not accommodate so many people, and most of them camped outside the city. Therefore, the Lola area was full of tents, flocks of cattle and sheep, and many people. And the mixed, frequent conflicts not only caused headaches for the Lola people, but also made the neighboring Campania allies nervous. They strengthened their vigilance and sought support from Dionia.
In order to avoid accidents, the Lola people shortened the process of the great assembly, and on the third day after Quindok arrived, the ceremony of electing the great leader officially began.
More than 100 chiefs and tribal representatives (because the chiefs of some tribes in Kautini were leading the civil warriors to fight against the Dionians in the east of the Samona Mountains, they could not return in time, and could only send representatives) gathered in the city. the square.
Surrounded by soldiers maintaining order, a high wooden platform was built in the center of the venue, and there were two people sitting in it, one was the co-leader of the Lora region, Xi Nani, and the other was the Kautini leader Sego who had just been released. Varney.
Quinn Duke has been watching Segovani since he came to power. He hasn't seen Segovani for ten years. Compared to Segovani's arrogant image when he was elected chief ten years ago, this At that time, his face was old and thin, his head was drooping, and his spirit was decadent... It seems that he suffered a lot during his captivity, which made Quinn Duke feel a burst of joy.
At this time, Sinani stood up and said loudly to the audience: "Respected leaders, welcome to Lola! Today we are gathered here, it is... to concern all of us Kautini people. A very important event! Next, let the chief of Segovani announce it!"
