Vol 8 Chapter 29: Samona Tribal Conference

Just as Tapirus sprouted, the Roman official finally appeared. He vaguely remembered that the man who was coming to him was the Roman veteran named Paulus.
"Your Roman elders are harder to see than our king of Dionia. This ten days have not appeared, and we are not allowed to go out. I thought that you Rome would imprison us here. I almost couldn't help but want to Sending people to Turui for help." When Tapirus saw him, he spoke with sarcasm and threats, and did not care that the timidity in his words hurt his face.
Paulus said unmoved: "The distinguished messenger of the Dayonia, you have seen the chaos outside the hotel, we are also here to protect your life. In these ten days, the Senate has been There have been repeated and heated debates on the proposal of Dionia, and there has been no clear result, so I have not notified you."
"So, is there a result now?" Tapirus looked light.
"Yes." Paulus said solemnly: "Wolsey is a feud with us in Rome. When we were still weak in Rome, the Welsh people have been screaming strong and constantly encroaching on our Roman land. Killing the people of Rome... The citizens of Rome made up their minds that in this war they must eradicate this enemy of life and death, Wolsey, so at the emergency civic meeting, they passed the majority of the support votes. I am sorry for the proposal to continue this war."
Tapirus did not feel disappointed or shocked. In fact, before leaving Turui, King Davers had implicitly expressed his hope that Rome would reject the proposal.
The main task of Tapirus is to go deep into the city of Rome and learn about the political, military, social and other aspects of the city. Although they are restricted from going out, the slaves and the ground staff in the hotel. They have already been bought by them and have learned a lot.
At this moment, Tapirus asked with a smile: "Sounds... Do you still hold a citizen assembly?"
"Because the Senate has been arguing, it has to resort to the citizen assembly to solve it." Paulus said solemnly.
"Well, I can only bring your decision back and tell the king." Tapirus regrets, and the real heart has long been eager to leave this ghost place.
"This time, letting you stay in the hotel all the time, it is a grievance to you! In order to apologize, this is a gift from our Senate on behalf of the Roman citizen to the messenger and your entourage." Paulus waved, accompanied The soldiers carried two boxes.
When you open it, it is full of silver coins. It is estimated that there are at least two towers in total.
If the previous delay was to allow Rome to occupy as much of Wolsey's land as possible, to increase the weight of the negotiations against Dionia. Then, after yesterday’s clear support from the Allied Carthage, the courageous Rome did not want to war with it after rejecting the proposal of the Kingdom of Dionia, because even with the help of Carthage, The war with Dionia will definitely cause some damage to Rome, and it can be avoided as much as possible. Therefore, they use money to bribe the Dionysian Herald and hope that he can go back and say something good.
Tapirus blinked and said, "Thank you." He accepted it without any resignation.
Of course, he does not want to use this money as his own, because according to the bill promulgated the previous year, accepting foreign gifts is a kind of bribery. If he sees money, I am afraid that it will not take long before returning to Turui. He was charged with reports of those followers in his messenger group. He just wanted to bring back the money donated by Rome and hand it over to the Finance Department. It was also a small contribution he made to Rome.
As for saying good things to Rome, that is impossible! Tapirus will only tell King Davers one of the things he saw and heard in Rome.
For the safety of the Dionian Herald, the Roman Senate even arranged a patrol to them to the port of Ostia.
When Tapirus walked out of the hotel, countless Romans shouted to them fiercely: "Dyonia, Rome does not welcome you! Get out of Rome like a dog!"
"The Romans dare to use war to threaten us and want to steal our land! Tell you, the Romans are not afraid of war, how much you will come, how much we will kill!"
......
Not only did they yell, but they also throw debris at the Dionysian Herald, but most of them were blocked by patrol soldiers with long shields.
Patrol captain Cassius even apologized: "I am sorry, these guys are rude and ignorant people, but they are very brave fighters, I hope you don't mind!"
Is this an apology? Tapirus's eyes became a seam, and he said a little: "I heard that in Rome, there are many rude and ignorant civilians. When they are going to face the fierceness of the enemy and use it against the Roman nobility, I am afraid. You are also uncomfortable."
Cassius listened, his face was a bit unsightly.
In the afternoon, the Dionysian corps left the port of Ostia by boat.
..........................................
The news of the fiasco of the Kautini tribe spread throughout the Samona area, causing a great shock.
At the request of the Kautini people, the four major tribal alliances of Samona immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss how this should be done.
The meeting was held in Kautim.
"The great lords of the dear, the Dionyns violated the covenant and sent troops to ambush the people of Kautini who went out to plunder the plains of Campania. In the absence of precautions, we are Cauti. Nie’s great leader Segowani and more than 2,000 warriors were captured, more than 3,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, and all tribes suffered serious losses... After the fighting, I Kautini immediately sent people to Campania. The Dionyans negotiated, but they refused to release our captive tribes and big lords, but they arbitrarily warned us that we must stop all hostile activities.
Now, the army of Dionia is stationed in Tesala, threatening the west side of Kautini like a hungry wolf, Lola, Sesara, Capua, the tribes living around these towns because Fear of being destroyed, and moving to the mountains, now the entire Kautini area is in chaos...
I urge all the great leaders to see that we are all descendants of the Savoni, and together we will stop the aggression of the Daonians and revenge for the dead Kautini people! "The request of another big tribe leader in the city of Kautim, Uzziq, is tearful."
"When I entered the city, I think you have already seen the horrors in Kautim. You can't let the Dionyrians go wild anymore, otherwise Kautim's today is our tomorrow!" Karačny The big leader, Contruck, stood up in anger.
The Kalashini tribe lives in the middle of the mountains. It is surrounded by Pentini, Hilpiny, and the so-called Samona branch, the Florentine. It has the fewest people, the smallest territory, but also the most brave. The ancient tradition of the Samonet.
"I said it ten years ago, don't be afraid of the Diaonians, even if they kill more of our warriors, we will fight them as the descendants of the wolf Savoni!" Contruk has More than half a hundred years old, but the sound is like a bell, he pointed to the great leader of Puntini, Badani: "You kneel to the enemy for your captured father and tribe. As a result, your father died after committing suicide because of shame. Don't you want to take revenge?!"
"And you -" Contruk pointed his finger to the head of the Sempini, Lecco, and rebuked: "The war that was killed ten years ago, the warriors of the tribes were the most dead, and they lost Copsa. Enona and other large land, as a big leader, you don't want to avenge them, recapture the territory, but like a dog to please the enemy, the result?! The Diaonians did not give you any benefit, but insidiously separated you. The friendly relationship between the tribes has caused the Abeniyarums not to obey your orders, but to be better with the Dionyns. This is a shame!"
"And you Kautini!" Contruk pointed his hand at Uzziq: "If not your great leader would support the two fools to sign a covenant with Dionia, he would not become today. Capture the enemy! Look at your current area such as Nuceria, where the people have given up their faith in the great wolf and worshipped the gods of the aliens. This is a betrayal of the ancestors! This is oh!! You have today's fiasco~EbookFREE.me~ is Savoni's punishment for you!"
Lexuk, Badani, and Uzbek were bitterly criticized by Contruk, and they were ashamed. Because Contruk is the chief of Samonah who has been in office for nearly 30 years, the oldest and the most prestigious in the tribal alliance, they are not refutable despite their dissatisfaction.
At this time, Rong Ni, the high priest of the four great tribes of Samona, also screamed: "The insidious and deceitful Dionyns have a sinister intention to us, they not only want to destroy our people, I also want to replace our great gods with evil gods, to destroy our traditions, and to make our Samonians completely their slaves! We can no longer hold on to them, we must take up arms and fight them to the end! Drive out of the mountains, recapture our land and restore our traditional beliefs!"
"It is not enough to drive out of the mountains. We must give them a heavy blow so that they don't dare to come to violate our Samonet!" Contruk stressed again.

Reinventing Diaonia?! Ha, it’s so easy!
Young Badani couldn’t help but retort: ​​
Do you know how big the Kingdom of Dionia is?! How many people?! They can Easily organize a 100,000-strong army, and can we make up 40,000 fighters?!"
