"Miron, the Crimeans are now citizens of the Dionysian Alliance!" Lycias sighed softly.
Miron's roar stopped. Breathing heavily, he kicked over the wooden chair by the window and strode out of the room.
…
Miron's anger quickly reached Antaoris' ears, and he didn't care. Before, when the people they sent to contact Dionia brought back Davos' request, the generals of Crimesa were hesitant to join the Dionysian Alliance, and the decisive Antaoris insisted. , and finally persuaded everyone to agree to Davos' request.
"Euricopus, take a hundred civic soldiers to guard the temple and prevent Crotone's soldiers from looting our treasury when they retreat!"
"Pleades, you too, bring a hundred civic soldiers to guard the granary!"
"Me and the others went to Lycias to see if we could get the next part of what the Crotones had piled up in the port. After living in Crimea for so long, the Crotones had to pay The cost of accommodation!" Antaoris said fiercely.
"What about the people? Crotone soldiers may also come to their house to make trouble!" Someone asked anxiously.
"Hasn't Davos already announced that Crimissa was incorporated into Dionia! Let every family inscribe the words 'I am a citizen of Dionia now' on the wooden door and see which Crotone People dare to rob the citizens of Dionia at the risk of another war!"
After Antaoris finished speaking, the faces of the surrounding people were embarrassed and fell into silence. Crimea, which has been independent for decades, will be merged into the Dionysian Alliance, and Dionia will manage the city of Crimea in a direct way, which means that most of the original Crimea will be Council members will lose power, if not forced by the situation, they will not be willing. In fact, some of the Crimeans had already responded to Lycias' call and were willing to retreat to Crotone with the army. It's just the promises made by Davos and the rapid rise of Turii and Amendolara after their decline, which made most of the Crimesa citizens, who had been oppressed by the big states, reluctant to do so. Living such a life, he chose the winner of this war, the Dionysian League.
"Everyone, please cheer up and work hard to do these things well!" Antaoris saw this situation and cheered them loudly: "We do this, not for others, but for ourselves, as long as we can make a complete , The city of Crimesa, which is rich in materials, was successfully handed over to the Dionysian Alliance, so that they fully realized our sincerity and ability, and more people may be selected to enter the Dionysian Senate. Rimisa strives for more benefits!"
…
In the afternoon, the first ships full of Crotone soldiers began to leave the port of Crimea.
Compared to the excited soldiers, Miron's expression was bleak. When the city of Crimea disappeared from his sight, he turned back and said to Lycias: "The covenant you signed is to hand over the position of the great Greek overlord to Dionia! From then on, Crowe Tone is going to see Dionia's eyes and act!"
Lycias was silent for a while, then said, "Who caused all this?"
Miron's mouth twitched, and his face was bitter.
"You'd better think about it, how to deal with the council's questioning when you go back." Lysias sighed.
…
While Crotone's army left Crimea by boat, Davos entered the city of Crimea with his army. Originally, he only wanted to bring some people in symbolically, but he was opposed by his generals. For the sake of safety, he let him bring half a legion, Antaoris, Eurycopus, Pleades... etc. Those who remained from the Rimisa Council went outside the city to meet them.
Dionysian camp rang out with bugles and snare drums. When the Crimeans were attracted by the music they had never heard before, the Dionysian soldiers were dressed in neat uniforms. , marching to the rhythm of the melody, forming a four-column long dragon with a neat pace, and marching towards Crimea city without any hurry.
At the forefront of the team is Martius, the captain of the Davos Guard. The flag he holds high represents the supreme commander of the Dionysian army, and the statue of Hades, the Hades, is dazzling and dazzling. Followed by a band composed of the trumpeters and drummers of the whole army, followed by a team of thousands of outstanding soldiers drawn from the First Army, Second Army, and Third Army. Flags and company flags, one of which is held high in the air every short section of the team, makes the entire long dragon flag fluttering and shining, and the soldiers are all smiling and arrogant, giving the Crimean a feeling, as if The Dionysians did not come to show off their power and assert their sovereignty, but to marry, otherwise the music would not be so cheerful and the colors would not be so bright, and even the Crimeans noticed that the Dionysian soldiers were all Not carrying a shield and spear, which surprised them, but also moved a little, because this is the Dionian people's trust in Crimea!
Davos and the other legion commanders and Avinogis did not ride horses. They walked in the middle of the line, surrounded by guard soldiers wearing red capes, so they were more conspicuous.
The procession stopped in front of the city gate of Crimea.
Antaoris and the others came up, and Davos and the others also walked out of the team under the escort of soldiers.
Antaoris went straight to Davos, not because he had seen Davos before, but because the news that Davos, the consul of Dionia, was a young man had spread throughout Greater Greece, and among these senior generals It is clear at a glance who is the youngest among them.
"Lord Davos, Antaoris, the former chief general of Crimea, and the former members of the Council of Crimea welcome you!" After he finished speaking, he saluted respectfully, and some people behind him followed suit. is to stand silently.
Davos immediately returned the gift seriously and said, "Thank you for your trust and support to the Dionysian Alliance! Facts will prove that your choice is absolutely correct!!"
"Oh, yes?! So what would be the benefit of our full support for Crimissa to join Dionia?!" someone chimed in.
"Of course there is!" Davos ignored the weirdness of his tone and said loudly: "Be a citizen of Dionia, no matter where you go to any city-state in Greater Greece, you will be respected! Anyone who dares to violate you will be respected! Acts of power, the alliance will seek justice for you, whether you are a noble or a commoner! You are brave and good at fighting, and you can continue to gain land by virtue of your military exploits! Respect! Even if you are an ordinary citizen, you will enjoy the convenience of the Dionysian Union for your life, the cheap and highly skilled hospitals provide citizens with health protection, and smooth roads and bridges for citizens The travel and business provide fast travel, the agricultural officer provides technical assistance for citizens to do farming, the commercial officer can apply for low-interest loans for your business, and we also have battle-hardened and strictly trained citizen soldiers to ensure the safety of the territory... So when you get acquainted with the life of Dionysian and understand the institutions and laws of Dionia, you will know how different it is from other city-states, and you will be a citizen of Dionia for yourselves And proud!" At this moment, Davos was obviously a little boastful and complacent.
Antaolis, Eurycopus and the others' eyes flickered, and they seemed to be greatly moved, while others were thoughtful.
"Oh... Since Dionysus is so good, do we have the chance to become consuls in the future?!" Someone said at this time.
As soon as these remarks came out, Capos, Drakes, Hieronymus, and Avinogis all widened their eyes, feeling that the speaker was malicious, and clearly aimed their criticism at Davos. .
Most of the Crimea people also changed their expressions, lest they anger Davos and would be detrimental to Crimea.
Davos looked calm, which is undoubtedly what Dionia was most criticized by other Greek city-states. He knew very well that Crimea was different from Amendolara and Turii after all. Both cities were saved by Davos when they were about to perish. The people were grateful to them and needed strong protection at the same time. , so there is not much opinion on Davers becoming the life-long consul of the alliance. In addition, Davers has always abided by the law and discussed everything with the members of the Senate. He seldom acted arbitrarily. The public debated and advocated the battle of Crotone, and finally won the battle, so over time, the people also accepted it readily. Not to mention Niutum, the Lucanians originally believed in power and would not have any objections.
Only Crimesa, who was once an enemy, was conquered by Dionia's power, and there will always be people who will be unwilling and open their eyes to pick on Dionia, so of course Davos will not be polite: "Dionia can In a short period of time, it has rapidly developed into a strong state of Great Greece, and even defeated Crotone, because we have a different political system from other great Greek city-states. I heard that there are already some Crimeans Suike The Rotone people leave. If there are people who don’t like Dionysian, they can leave now. Those who stay and become citizens of Dionia should adapt to Dionia’s system as soon as possible and abide by Dionia. the law!"
The implicit sharpness in Davos's words made some Crimesa people who still wanted to raise objections to stop talking.
"Look, this is Dionia's — um." The person who spoke just now wanted to attack Dionia again, but was covered by the two guards sent by Anta Ornis.
"Lord Davos, it is our fault to keep Dionia's soldiers waiting here for a long time, please enter the city together!" Antaoris said apologetically.
"Okay!" Davers gave him a meaningful smile.
