Vol 9 Chapter 134: The debate at the Athens Civic Conference (1)


"This...this..." Carisenos was shocked, and was captured by the young commander's momentum, but he didn't dare to say a word of dissuasion.
"So what if this fertile land empties out?" Crotocataxe looked at Carisenos and said solemnly: "I think Mandinia is on the Peloponnesian peninsula. Dionysia’s most loyal ally, so I decided to donate the land of Tegoya to you, Mandinia."
Calicenos was beating heartily, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and he couldn't help but asked aloud: "You... you mean to give us the territory of Taglia?"
No wonder he is overjoyed. The territories of Tegoya and Mandinia are the only plains in the Arcadia region. It is narrow in east and west, long in north and south, and low in south and high in the north. Most of the land in the small plains, and Mandinia is located in the north. The river floods every rainy season. The Mandinians have eaten enough of the floods, and they are thinking about expanding the land to the south, so they follow the Tegeans. The conflict is constant.
It was only because Tegya was fully supported by Sparta, and the Mandinians were scrupulous and did not trigger a major war. Who knew that before the Corinthian War, the Spartans invaded Mandinia, and with the help of the Teagues, they blocked a river in the north of the plain and used water attack to destroy the city of Mandinia. The Dinians have always suffered. And now that Mandinia has the opportunity to own the entire plain, not only can it obtain more fertile land to enhance its strength, but also the long-term worries will be completely resolved. How can this not make Carisenos overjoyed.
"I hope Mandinia will give me an answer tomorrow! After tomorrow, I can only see you Mandinia abandoning this land, so that it will be used as a Dionysian military base in Peloponnese ."
"Please rest assured, General Klotokatax, I will rush back to Mandinglia. Tomorrow we will give you a definite answer to Mandingia!" Carisenos said quickly.
"Okay, I'll wait for your reply." Crotocatax nodded.
Carisenos turned his horse, gripped the reins, clamped the horse's belly firmly, urged the war horse, and hurried towards the north.
"His Royal Highness, hand over the territory of Tegoya to Mandinia. I am afraid that the other city-states of the Arcadia Alliance will be dissatisfied with Mandinia." Prentals only reminded at this time.
Croto Kataks said firmly: "Although the Arcadia Alliance has become our alliance, the internal situation of the alliance is too complicated. The Tagya mutiny and Okominus are lobbying... and How can such an alliance cooperate with us!
It’s better to strengthen the relationship with Mandinia, who is truly willing to cooperate with us. It was originally one of the stronger city-states in Arcadia. Now, if the territory of Tigeria is merged, the strength will increase. Become the absolute leader of the Arcadia Alliance.
Moreover, once Mandinia annexed the Territory of Taqya, not only the city-states of the Arcadia Union were dissatisfied, but other city-states on the mainland of Greece might also want to interfere. In a few years, they will be re-supported by the Qiu family's Qiu family), Mandinia can only rely more on us Dionysia! "
"The Lycomedes of Mandinia looks smart, and I am afraid I might not agree."
Crotocatax smiled: "He is now in Megalopolis. After the Mandinians have made their decision, I am afraid he doesn't know about it yet. Even if he knows it, facing With such a great interest, he alone cannot convince all the people of Mandingonia."
Kloto Kataks was very thoughtful, and Prentals had no doubt. At the moment, he trancely felt that he was facing King Davers, and even unconsciously, his tone of speech became Congratulations: "I see."
At this moment, Ketisus came over holding a crock solemnly, and said in a low voice: "This is the ashes of Ador...
Klotokatax took it cautiously, and when he held it in his arms, tears came out again...
..................................................................
Carias kept looking around, suddenly feeling very nervous, because this is not the General Athens Executive Committee, nor the 500-member Parliament of Mount Ares, but the civic assembly on the hill of Punix, the highest in Athens. The authority, look at these stacked, surging heads, and listen to these noisy, heart-pounding murmurs. The Athenians declared, "When they hold civic conferences, the number of people often exceeds 5,000." Virtual words.
At this moment, he saw that the chief general of Athens, Calisstratus, came to the center of the venue, raised his right arm high, and the voice was loud and penetrating: "Citizens of Athens, the civic conference officially started!"
Gradually, the surrounding citizens of Athens stopped talking, and the whole venue became quiet.
Kalistratus continued: "In the last meeting we discussed the problem of the Dionysian army invading Peloponnese for no reason. Today the Dionysian messenger also rushed to Athens. This question is communicated to us, we first listen to what he said."
When Callistratos pointed his finger at Carrias, the tension in his heart disappeared at that moment. He stood up and walked towards the center of the venue step by step...
In the past years, Sparta, Corinth, Thebes, Megara, Argos... Almost all the Greek city-states of the world have had messengers standing here, facing the discerning Athenian citizens. According to their city-state's claims, it was a war, or an alliance, or a trade, or just a city-state citizen who broke the law in Athens...
Numerous celebrity scholars from Athens have also delivered exciting speeches here, Solon, Demosthenes, Aristotle, Dimitroskli, Kemeng, Pericles, Asibid, Su Grady...
Whether in the Dionysian Academy or in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Carias has studied many articles about the Athens speech with his teacher Anistanos. Over the years, he has traveled back and forth in the various alliances and tribes in the Western Mediterranean. Although the day in Thebes got a fairly satisfactory answer-Thebes will remain neutral, but Carias understands that it was the people of Thebes who wanted to do this, not his credit, and finally arrived today It's time he really used force.
Carrias stood in the center of the meeting place, glanced at the indifferent face around him, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.
He took a deep breath, feeling the full breath flowing between the chest, throat, mouth, and nose, and then uttered: "Citizens of Athens, I represent 2 million citizens of the Kingdom of Dionysia (excluding women and Children), sincere greetings to you!"
His first sentence caused a stir in the surrounding Athenians: "2 million citizens?! Really fake? Counting overseas territories, Athens will not exceed 15,000 citizens. A dozen times that of Athens?!"
"I first have to correct a typo in Lord Kalistratus. Dionysia sent troops to Peloponnese to fulfill the covenant and help Thebes fight the Spartan army.
In this respect, I admire you Athenians. When the city of Thebes was occupied by Spartans and the Democrats of Thebes were in danger, you bravely reached out to help them;
The Thebes recaptured the city, but faced the attack of the Spartan army, and you were not afraid of the Spartans in such a bad situation, and formed an alliance with Thebes, not only to provide them with Material assistance, and also sent a fleet directly to the war, threatening the Spartans rear. The Thebes can persevere to the present and win the Battle of Ruktra, which is absolutely inseparable from your selfless help.
Although Dionysia formed a late alliance with Thebes, we Dionysia detested Sparta, the culprit who continued to provoke war on the mainland of Greece and caused the entire Greek people to be unable to obtain a peaceful life! We Dionysia also continued to bully Sparta after the Peloponnesian War, even invading your territory, killing and looting villages near the port of Piraeus during the King’s contract The people and the disgusting incident without repentance after the event felt the same!
Therefore, even if Athens is with a new contract, you should be optimistic about Dionia’s beating Sparta..."
Callistratus noticed that the citizens' faces had softened, UU read www. uukanshu.com immediately deliberately interrupted Carias’ words: "Thank you for your wonderful speech, but I will first correct one of your mistakes. You can call me by my name, but you cannot call me "adult" , Because the citizens of Athens are equal, regardless of size, if I dare to call myself an adult, I am afraid that my compatriots today will use pottery to drive me out of the country."
There was a burst of laughter in the venue.
Kallistratus continued: "However, it is no wonder that you will make such a mistake, because I heard that in the Kingdom of Dionysia, the people in the country are subdivided into many levels, from the king to the minister, down to The people at the bottom, with a strict class, cannot be called by any name, otherwise they will be punished. No wonder you will be more cautious when you come to Athens."
Carrias smiled slightly: "I call you "adult", not only a respect for you, but more respect is the power given to you by the citizens of Athens, it is a concentrated expression of the wishes of all citizens of Athens. As for you Speaking of us Dionysia, I would like to ask Lord Calisstratus, have you been to any town in Dionysia?"
