Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

I have heard. Sextus also sighed: The tomb of the Romans! It is said that the name on this tombstone was given by King Davos, and the ashes of Camelus were also included. Buried in it, I think... Although the name is simple, it is just a compliment to them...

After saying this, there was a sudden silence between the two for a while, and Sextus realized that what he said just now was wrong: praise these people who desperately resist, then what are those who surrender themselves?

So, he hurriedly changed the subject: The temples of Jupiter and Juno were also burned down, what a pity! If you want to build them again, I don't know when it will be!

Rebuild?! Stolo shook his head and turned his eyes to the open space in front of him. There was a bit of pain and reluctance in his eyes, but also a trace of hatred. He said faintly: There will be no more Jupiter, The temples of Juno and Janus, I heard the Dionians say they will build the temple of Diana here, and the Dionian temples of Hades and Hera , Jupiter... gave up Rome, and I think it won't be long before he will be abandoned by the Romans...

Sextus was full of surprise, and then looked at the open spaces on the top of the mountain in dismay, but said nothing: the Temple of Diana was originally the temple that the Roman commoners loved to worship, and he followed Dionys. During the runner-up's battle, the Dionysians often praised Hades with their mouths open and shut. He was also influenced by them, believing that he was a powerful god who paid great attention to mortals. He had heard from his father that Hades was also popular among Roman commoners.

As for Hera, he only knew that this was a Greek goddess in charge of marriage and family, and it would not be too bad.

I heard... you will soon follow the Dionysian army south to fight the Carthaginians. Stolo asked suddenly.

Before returning to Rome, King Davos announced this to us. Did you know it so quickly? Sextus was a little surprised.

I am temporarily in the city hall, assisting the Dionysian officials, and the current Roman administrator, Asisters, also specifically asked me about the weapons and equipment of our Roman citizens, how much ration we have a day, and whether they can adapt to sitting The ship and the weight of the march... I asked very detailed questions, so I guess you might have to go south. Stolo said confidently.

Because the soldiers had already returned, he believed that the news of the expedition would spread soon, so Sextus had nothing to hide, he said calmly: King Daphus has publicly promised that he will not put the Roman army into the It was a tough battle. However, after returning from victory this time, the soldiers received a lot of rewards, and some soldiers who performed well were also promoted immediately, so many people told me that they were worried that they would not be able to catch them after going south. I won't be able to get more military exploits, I hope I can take the initiative to fight...

Stolo sighed: Dionia is still very different from Rome.

For civilians, they have more chances to rise!

What, are you excited?! Sextus said half-jokingly and half-seriously: Let's join the Roma Reserve Brigade now.

I have a lot of business now, I'm too busy, and I'm afraid the city hall won't let me go. Stolo complained with a bit of self-satisfaction: And I'm also taking the time to familiarize myself with Dionia's laws and prepare Pass their assessment and become the judge of this kingdom.

May Diana bless you with early success! Sextus sincerely wished: I hope we can one day enter the Dionysian Senate and win more rights for us Romans!

After hearing this, Stolo was refreshed, and his face became a little more excited: Let's work hard together!

The two of them were full of ambition and looked at the city of Rome at the foot of the mountain: Rome under reconstruction is also full of vitality, but it has a different pattern from the past...

………………………………

At noon on the second day, Davos held a banquet again, but this time the guests were the envoys of the Latin allies and several Etruscan allies.

At the banquet, Davos re-emphasized the responsibilities and obligations of all allies in the Dionysian Alliance, and also solemnly promised that Dionysus would never interfere in their internal affairs, and would fully protect their territorial security .

Rome was completely destroyed, how could these city-states dare to be halfhearted?

Since then, a huge alliance system with Dionia as the leader, Latin city-states and southern Etruscan city-states as subordinates, and Volsi and Herniki as strong assistants has replaced Rome and stood impressively in central Italy. Deter surrounding forces.

That night, Davos hosted Asisters and Geogris again in the house where he temporarily lived.

I heard that this is the residence of the largest clan patriarch in Rome, Comineneus Marugineensis. Although the location of the residence is good, the interior decoration is very ordinary. It can be seen that the nobles of Rome do not advocate luxury. Davers took a sip of wine and said casually.

Your Majesty, you underestimate Malujinsis, he has several residences in the city, this is just one of them, and he has a larger residence outside the city, with more than 600 acres of land, and It's all the land along the river, and there are hundreds of slaves... Asisters briefly introduced the property of Malujinsis.

Davos didn't think it was a pestle, but laughed instead: It is precisely because these Roman nobles extorted and extorted the anger of the Roman civilians that it was easier for us to win the hearts and minds of the Roman civilians, and even they even gave us a chance to surrender these people. The decision of the nobles to forcibly relocate is applauded, and I really thank these nobles for this.”

Your Majesty, are you really going to let these surrendered Roman noble soldiers follow you to fight in Sicily? Asistes asked with concern.

Yes. Davos restrained his smile and said sternly: Even if the Roman army surrendered due to the plague, many people died, and excluding the wounded soldiers who lost their combat effectiveness, there are still more than 7,000 people left. , this is a lot of power! I'm afraid that after I led the army to leave Rome, they suddenly regretted it, did not want to leave Latium with my family, and even launched a rebellion to destroy the new order that we spent a lot of efforts to establish here. , this is always an unstable factor! And I use a larger army to guard them, so they don't dare to mess around!

But they are not soldiers of the Roman reserve after all. Those people have basically surrendered to the kingdom, but they have resentment in their hearts, and this time they are going to Sicily. Rome and Carthage are allies, in case they collude... Asisters voiced his concerns.

Davos smiled slightly: Don't worry, I have a way.

Because of his ability to consistently convince Davos, Asisters stopped persuading him.

Davos looked at him and praised: Assi, it has only been a few months since you became the chief executive of Rome, and the political situation in Rome is stable and orderly. As a result, the Roman people gradually recognized Dionia and began to abide by the various laws of the kingdom... The achievements you have made have exceeded my expectations!

Your Majesty. Asisters said humbly: There are still many problems with the governance of Rome, and there are two most important problems. One is the lack of language, which reduces the efficiency of the execution of orders; Conflict between the citizens of Dionia and Roman civilians, which is also the reason for the increase in conflict in the city of Rome during this time.

Davos nodded lightly and said ponderingly: Language barriers and contradictions between old and new citizens... These are the most common problems we encounter when conquering a new race. You are in Neutum, Knapetia, Mesagne and Heinona have both held positions one after another, and they have achieved excellent political performance. I believe that you have a lot of experience in this area and will eventually solve it very well. Moreover, Giorgris will give you a lot of help.

Ah! Me? Georgius, who was quietly tasting the food, felt a little surprised when he heard this.

This time, the fifth legion you led stayed behind in Rome, not only to be ready to put out any possible riots at any time, but also to ensure the rule of the kingdom here. Davos looked at him and said with a serious face: Because the war here has just begun It's over, order hasn't been fully restored, and it's impossible for the Ministry of Military Affairs to send military training officers right away to avoid unrest when the citizens are brought together. However, with the Fifth Legion as a guarantee, you can use the slack time after the autumn harvest to bring Roman, Citizens from towns such as Wei Ai, Gabi, Kesreira, Phedina... all gathered to conduct military training, and try to mix the migrated Dionia citizens with the newly joined people of other races. Let them gradually develop camaraderie through rigorous training and intense ball games, and learn simple Dionian languages ​​through frequent contact...

This is a really good idea! Asistes interjected excitedly: Your Majesty, do you remember?! At first, we and the Lucanian tribal warriors in Bagule mainly adopted this method to get them to agree with us. , and finally fight side by side with us!

Yes, of course I remember. Davers said with emotion: That was almost 20 years ago!

Asisters had an idea and immediately said: I propose to build Ladrum's barracks to the south of the river port and the granary, so that the barracks will not only be located in the center of these towns, but also solve the problems of the river port and the granary by the way. safe question.
