Vol 5 Chapter 38: Daves' proposal

Flat, wide streets, neatly divided neighborhoods, neatly and orderly houses... all make the Devonians value health and order. WwW.suimeng.lā stands tall, elevated water bridge across the city, huge water wheel that rotates slowly, unique fountain, and turbulent water on both sides of the road... This shows the Diaonians as Greeks It also has its own characteristics and pursuits for architectural art and technology.
The most letting the messengers stop is the white and high-pitched Arc de Triomphe, the imposing Victory Square, and the grand and magnificent Senate House, which is clearly showing the ambition and pursuit of Dionia. If they saw this before, they might secretly ridicule Dioria's incompetence, but after the second Crotone war, they had to face up to this city-state alliance and they clearly realized this emerging. From the very beginning of its establishment, the city has shown its distinctiveness with other Greek city-states, as well as its extraordinary ambitions.
Don't say anything else, look at the Temple of Hades that is about to be completed in the distant hills. With Pluto as the patron saint of the city, all of Greece is only Dionya.
Just as the messengers carefully observed the center of this emerging city-state alliance, while heading west and rushing to the Senate, the people of Turui went out of their homes, rushing in groups and elated to the east. Row.
"I listen to what they say...allocate the land?" asked the West Chamber messenger curiously.
"Yeah, I heard it too." The Trina messenger asked more directly: "Do you want to distribute the newly occupied land to citizens?"
"You, the land that Dionia does not occupy, is based on the covenant and legal gains!" Plesinus, who came to greet them, immediately corrected it.
The messengers did not refute, but they were guilty.
"According to the "Dianian Military Law", the "Diaonia Citizenship Act" and the commitments made by the pre-war Senate, all citizens and reserve citizens who participated in this war will receive land." Plesinus Without concealing, he continued: "According to the achievements of the civic soldiers in the war and the actual situation of the land in Aspru Stum, Crimea, Croton, and the plains of the northern part of the country... The Ministry of Affairs and the Ministry of Military Affairs have done a lot of work. Today is the result of the announcement of the distribution of land. Not only the people of Turui, but also the people of Amendola and Niutum will come. Because there are too many people, they can only Held outside the city... If you are interested, please wait until the meeting is over."
"We still have to go to the Senate first to get things done. The people in our city-states are still looking forward to our news!" Seeing other messengers have some heartbeat, Sis Protus reminded loudly, taking the opportunity to cover up the inner shame, after all, The distribution of Dionynia was the land that Crotone was forced to cede.
..............................
Sis Protus knew that the trip would not be as easy as it was last time, but he did not expect that, in the face of the request of the four city-state messengers, the attitude of all the elders of the Dionysian Senate against sending troops was very firm.
... What "the war has just ended, the loss of Dionia is also very big, there is not enough money, and then to deal with another war!"...
... What "Dyonia citizens have just put down their shield spears, and they have just allocated the land, they are all ready to rest, and the spring is not over yet, so they can quickly grow wheat on the new land and catch up with the harvest. So there can be no fighting!"...
... What "Diagna does not need to be an enemy of Locke, thus provoke the powerful city-state of Syracuse!"...
In short, a thousand words merge into one sentence: Diaonia only wants to recuperate and does not want to gossip.
Thus, the messengers of Siriting, Trina, and Coulenania expressed their willingness to sign the "Defense Alliance Treaty" with Dioria, like Crotone, and they were strongly opposed by the Dionysian elders. Their reason is simple: because of the current strength of Diaonia, there is hardly any force in southern Italy to dare to provoke them, while Cullenia, Trina, and Silitine are occasionally exposed to Lockley and Brudy. Human invasion, if signed, would mean that the three city-states hired a powerful city-state alliance to protect their security free of charge, which was obviously beneficial to them, and did not benefit Dionya.
Negotiations in the Senate were deadlocked, and Sis Protus was anxious, but there was no way.
At this time, the Trina messenger said eagerly: "If I request to join the Dionysian League?"
The Trina messenger was not a whim. When he passed through Castellon, Amigris and others had treated them with hospitality. At the banquet, Castron’s lawmakers intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the many benefits Castelon had gained after joining the Dionysian League. At the same time, they saw the stability and prosperity of the people in the city of Castellón. They were somewhat touched by the messengers.
When Sisi Protis heard this, Huo was shocked and shouted subconsciously: "Sipros, do you know what you are talking about?!"
"Rescue Trina!" The messenger Cypress said with conviction: "We Trina people have always complied with the Covenant in the alliance, responded to your call from Crotone, paid the tribute on time every year, and which war we are not active. Sending troops to send food! Now it is the destruction of the Trillian territory by the Rocky people. Trina is a small state, but he lives in Hebernian (the city state in the Lockley League, in Trina In the crack between the South and the Bruti, if you can't beat Rocky as early as possible, and the Brutus can't come, the Trila people are afraid of starving!"
Sis Protus wanted to say: Trina had no food at the time, and Crotone could help.
But then he swallowed his mouth again. Crotone experienced these two wars with Dionia, and suffered heavy losses. Because of the blockade of the Lockley fleet, the people in the city also faced a food shortage crisis. It is also the main reason why Crotone is eager to agree to the three allies in his own alliance to ask for help from Dionia.
He warned loudly: "Don't you know that if you join the Dionysian League, you can't have any alliance with other city-states? If Trina withdraws from the Crotone League, Crotone will immediately retreat. Trina helps the defense of the Crotone troops, and there will be enemies in the future, and we will not give Trina any help!"
The words of Sis Protus are both for Trina and a reminder to the Silean, the Coordinator of Cologne, and even the Dionysian Senate. After all, at this time, the main force against Rocky in the South is Crotone. If it is not a good one, not only the other city-states will be bad, but also the obstacle to the plan of Dionia.
Therefore, the West Ridings and the Cologne messengers who had some thoughts were silent, and Trina's messenger Cypress was also riding a tiger at this moment.
Seeing this situation, Daves slowly said: "The city-state messengers from the Crotone League, if Dionya promised your request, sent troops to repel Rocky, then Lockley, even Syracuse It is possible to concentrate the anger of failure on our Dionya. No one sensible Diaonian will allow us to make such a stupid decision to help you and completely harm your own interests.

The words of Daphus made the messengers look dark.
Davers then turned the corner: "But as you just said, whether it is Dionia or Crotone, Cirto... because of conflicts and interests, conflicts, and even wars, it is our big Greece. Between the city-states. But as Syracuse collided with Syracuse in Sicily, and involved in the war of our great Greek city-state, it was undoubtedly a hungry wolf in the flock, threatening the entire Great Greece. The safety of the city-state, we must swear that Syracuse is busy with the Battle of Carthage, end the war with Lockheed as soon as possible, and not give excuses for the intervention of Syracuse, so the troops are still not sent out, we are the Diaonian veterans. The hospital feels very embarrassed! The people need a good reason for them to feel calm and they feel that they are not doing a meaningless battle for outsiders, and that Dioria does not want to be abandoned after helping you. enemy!"
The messengers are silent, and the meaning of Davers’s words has been very obvious.
Sis Protus was upset, and he remembered the warnings of Lucias before his departure: Dionia may not want the numerous gold, silver and materials promised by the city-states to promote it. It may or may not sign a defensive alliance treaty with various city-states. They may be more likely to want...
At this time ~EbookFREE.me~Davers once again said: "I have a proposal for you to consider."
At the moment he paused, each messenger raised his ears.
"Diagna, Crotone, Cirtin, Coleonia, Trina, our five city-states together form an alliance to jointly resist and attack and dare to invade our enemies, and the alliances do not infringe each other. Conflicts can be resolved through negotiation!..."
When I heard this, the messengers were all really looking like this, but the darkness on the face of Sis Protus was deeper, while others were obviously a little heart-stirring, especially the Trina messenger Cipros was once again active. Be the first to ask: "Excuse me, the governor, who is this alliance?"
When this problem came out, Sis Protuston was nervous.
Davers smiled: "While the equals and the size of the alliance, when it is difficult to reach an agreement, you can vote for a city state and vote for it..."
Davers’s answer was beyond the expectations of the messengers. He thought that Dionia proposed to form a new alliance, which was to gain the dominance of this alliance. In addition to Sis Protus, the other messengers’ eyes were bright.
