Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Davos smiled slightly and said loudly: If you understand the history of the founding of Dionia, you will find that Dionia has never actively invaded the territories of other city-states and races, usually other forces invaded Dio first. Dionia, and even some city-states violated their promises, suddenly tore up their covenant with us, brazenly invaded Dionia’s territory, and killed the people of Dionia, which caused our Dionia’s anger, angrily counterattack, destroy it.

It can be seen from this that we Dionia are not the Romans of the past. We are not tyrannical or greedy for the land of other countries. On the contrary, we love peace and are willing to live in harmony with our neighbors. Here, in the Latium area, Dionia will continue to uphold our usual diplomatic attitude. For any force that wants to have friendly exchanges with Dionia, we will live in peace with it, and even sign some friendly agreements to carry out Wider trade exchanges, cultural exchanges, and even mutual aid...

I want to make a solemn promise to you here. Dionia came to Latin dance not to bring more wars to this land where wars are often frequent, but to eliminate wars and bring peace and harmony. Prosperity, not only for the Romans and Latins under Dionysus, but also for you who are neighbors of Rome and who are equally willing to be friendly with us!

Although some forces had obtained similar assurances in their contact with the messengers sent by Dionia before, when King Dionia said these words personally, it undoubtedly reassured the messengers.

Then, the Sabine messenger asked: Can we Sabines also be allied with Dionia?

Of course! Davos said with a smile: As long as you Sabines are willing to be friends with Dionia, of course Dionia is willing to form an alliance with you! When the banquet is over, you can find our diplomats. Officer Tapirus, negotiate an alliance.

Davos said while pointing at Tapirus who was sitting in the banquet.

Tapirus stood up at once and greeted the Sabine emissary with a smile.

The Sabine messenger responded quickly, with a long sigh of relief in his heart: Dionia occupied Rome and Phedyne, and Crustaum surrendered to it, and Dionia's sphere of influence bordered the Sabine territory. Now, among all the surrounding forces, Sabine has become the closest force to Rome, the central town of the Kingdom of Dionia in Latinum. The Romans have been suppressing Sabine for more than 10 years. A Dionysia stronger than Rome made them even more terrified. Now that they have King Dionia's promise to form an alliance, they can be said to be completely relieved.

Not only the Sabines, other forces also have this kind of fear more or less, so the messengers also expressed their willingness to form an alliance with Dionia.

Davers agreed.

Your Majesty King Dionia, I have a question. The envoy of Marcy asked loudly: If there is a war between the two allies of Dionia...for example, we Marcy have formed an alliance with Dionia. In the future, the conflict with the Herniki people led to a war, and they all asked Dionysus for help. Did Dionia help the Herniki people who are more closely related to you? Or help the newly allied Masi ?

We Herniki people are busy rebuilding our homeland, how could we conflict with the Masi people who helped us! Although Nemeli was complaining, he, like the other messengers, was looking forward to Davos' answer.

Central Italy has many forces and complex relationships, and conflicts and wars occur from time to time. It is only because of the strong and rapid expansion of Rome in recent years that the surrounding forces have to temporarily unite due to pressure. Davos smiled slightly. , his voice was not loud, but he said in a firm tone: I have said just now that Dionia is here for peace and prosperity. We will first stop the ongoing war, and gather both sides to deal with the cause of the conflict. Discuss and find a solution to the conflict, so that the two sides can finally restore peace.

I believe that people of all races yearn for a peaceful life, and do not want to be involved in a lifeless war. If there is such a race that lives by war and looting, then it will be our common danger and must be We will meet with our common crusade! Are you right?

Your Majesty, you are right! If Wolsey has a conflict with another race one day, we are willing to listen to the Dionysian messenger to help us resolve the dispute! Catemantaros first expressed his position.

We Herniki are also willing to obey any decision made by the Dionysian messenger! Nemeri also rushed to say.

The messengers of other races, including the Masi, had heard it: King Davos was to establish a new order centered on Dionia in central Italy, and to make other races and forces follow.

For them, this is actually not a bad thing, because as far as they know, the Dionysian army did not pay too many casualties, and destroyed the Rome that they were afraid of, since King Dionia promised If they don't use such terrifying force and settle disputes through negotiation, they will feel more at ease, so they all agree with Davos' decision one by one.

At this time, someone said loudly: Your Majesty King Davos, the Celts in the north are the terrible forces that you call looting, and they invaded the Latham area 20 years ago, and now they are again Began to be active in the north, it is said that the former Celtic king Brennus had been obsessed with his failure in Rome before his death, and repeatedly told the leaders around him to avenge his shame. Maybe a few years later, the Celts There will be a comeback, and I am afraid we all need to prepare for it, what do you think about it?

As soon as these words came out, the messengers present were quiet. Although the Celtic invasion occurred 20 years ago, because the war lasted for a year, all the forces of Ladum were affected to some extent, so they were very impressed.

Davos looked at the prestige, and the person who spoke was a messenger from the city of Fufluna. Fufluna was one of the Twelve Etruscan city-states, this time on behalf of the northern Etruscan city-states that were not allied with Dionia, and came to Rome because of these northern Etruscan city-states. Between the city-state and the Latium territory controlled by Dionia, the southern Etruscan city-states such as Tarcuna and Walch that had just allied with Dionia were separated. What is the conflict of interest, Davos has been speculating about their intentions, and now he finally realizes it.

As I said just now, no force must destroy the peace and tranquility of this land! Davos said without hesitation: As long as the Walters dare to invade the territories of Walch and Tarchuna, Dio will Nia will surely gather an army, cross the Tiber, help the Allies, and repel the Celts!

The messenger of Fufluna was stunned and blurted out: What about northern Etruria? The Celts attacked northern Etruria. If Dionia ignores it, the situation will be very bad! Etruria The terrain of the sub-region is flat. In recent years, the northern Etruscan city-states have only relied on the continuous mountains on their northern border to barely contain the Celts' invasion. The city-states are hard to resist, and once the Celts gain a firm foothold in the north, its attack on the south will be easier and more violent! At that time, the brutal Celts will once again attack Rome , to attack Ladrum and avenge their old king Brennus!

Davos looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: What you said is very reasonable, but Dionia has no diplomatic connection with your northern Etruscan city-state, even if Dionia wants to rescue, Do not dare to bring troops into your territory, lest the Etruscan people think that the Dionysians, like the Celts, are also invaders.

The messenger of Fufluna heard what Davos said, stood up immediately, saluted Davos respectfully, and said: As long as Dionia is willing to help us Etruscan defend against the Celts, we will The northern Etruscan city-state is willing to form an alliance with Dionia!

Davos nodded lightly and said loudly: The northern Etruscan city-state is willing to form an alliance with Dionia. This is a very good thing, and I welcome it very much! After the banquet is over, you can also cooperate with other Just like the messengers, negotiate an alliance with our diplomat Tapirus. As I said, Dionysus is here to make friends, and we are very willing to join forces with the Latinum region, the Etruscan region, the Etruscan region, And new friends from other regions join hands to defend against foreign enemies! Let’s defend the peace of our homeland together!”

Your Majesty, what you said is very good! Catemantaros of Wolsey raised his glass, stood up again, and said aloud excitedly: I propose that we honor King Dionia together and thank him Bring us peace!

Catemantaros' proposal was immediately answered by the other messengers.

Davers smiled and toasted with them.

After drinking this glass of wine with Tapirus, he was quite excited. Although he would be very busy in the future, this busyness reflects the value of a diplomat. After coming to the Latium area for half a year, he can finally Great show.

After the messenger of Fufluna sat down, he let out a sigh of relief.

What he just said is not completely true. Since the Celts invaded the south 20 years ago, the strength of the Etruscan city-states has been greatly weakened, and the northern city-states are even more serious, because these years the Celts Although people no longer assembled a large army to go south, small-scale invasions were frequent. At first, the northern city-states helped each other and jointly defended, but after repeated failures, they could only fight on their own and try their best. So when Rome attacked the southern Etruscan city-states, the northern city-states could only watch them being forced to surrender to Rome, because they were too busy to take care of themselves, and there was no room for reinforcements in the south.
