Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1112

[Chapter 61 Dionysian Holy Kingdom]

Hearing this, Okridon immediately wanted to refute, but Haka raised his voice again and said sharply: “Now, the Margonid family has paid a heavy price for that war, and you Hannoites are punished. Is it?! At least not now!

Especially after Ace Yaruba died of illness, you Hannos have completely controlled the Senate, and many neutral elders had to turn to you, just the year before you actually called that person’ Great Hanno’! What a ridiculous thing! A culprit who led to the defeat of the war, a sinner who turned the once mighty Carthage into an ordinary city-state that is now revered, has the face to call himself a ‘great’!”

Hakkar let out a contemptuous laugh, and Okredon remained silent.

Haka looked at him and said in a deep voice: “It seems that you still have an opinion on Hanno’s shameless practice. Now the gods have given me the right to make those who do wrong be punished they deserve! I said It’s your luck to meet me! If my brother Hasdrubal is here, he would like to kill all the elders of Carthage in order to shed his resentment of defeat; if Dido is here, She always thought that the death of her father Margo and all the people of Carthage could not escape the responsibility, and she wished that everyone would be punished!”

Having said this, Hakkar paused deliberately.

When Okriton heard this, he was really worried: he didn’t think Haka was frightening him, Dido and Hasdruba were both important members of the Margonid family, and of course Okriton treated her to her. The two have had a deep understanding, and the revenge they may have carried out on Carthage is indeed in line with the characters of the two of them, even if they are not in Turii now, but one becomes the commander of the Dionysian Legion and has a new possession. Leading the military, the other is the only prince and concubine of the Dionian royal family today. She also gave birth to two little princes, so they will naturally be loved by the royal family. If they have always hated Carthage, this is indeed a problem. Terrible thing.

“And I—” Hakkar said firmly: “I only ask the Carthaginian senate to appoint the main leaders of the Hanno faction, such as Hanno, Taipanlako… and their families. If we drive them out of Carthage and let them experience the pain we suffered back then, then I can guarantee that the grievances between our brothers and sisters and the Carthaginians will be written off! By the way, you are not included among these people, because Your Majesty thinks that you still good.”

Okleton was not happy because he was able to get rid of the punishment, but said solemnly: “I’m sorry, the Carthaginian Senate can’t expel several highly prestigious elders because of your threats— -”

“They will!” Haka said confidently: “When the entire Carthaginian people found that the raids of the Eastern Numibians became more and more frequent, the Carthaginian merchants were unable to enter the territory of the Dionysian Kingdom and other When the allies trade, when they know that it’s all caused by the Hannoites, do you think they will collectively protest to the Senate to expel these black sheep? Just like when they collectively protested against our Margonides The family is the same!”

Although the water in the pool is getting hotter and hotter, Okriton’s heart is getting colder and colder, and he is doing his last struggle inwardly: “You… your actions are against the peace agreement… ”

I didn’t violate it.” Haka looked at him righteously: “As long as Carthage expels Hanno and the others and joins the kingdom of Dionia, I can assure you that the Carthaginians will live better in the future than in the past.” , and this is what our family wants to see!”

As a veteran of the Carthaginian senate who is good at diplomacy, for the first time, Okredon felt that he was so powerless and that everything was out of his control, which made him feel so powerless. He felt very flustered. He lowered his head, looked at the steaming water in front of him, and said in a low voice, “After meeting King Davos, I will consider these suggestions from you.”

Hakkar chuckled lightly: ” Lord Okriton,

don’t you understand? His Majesty won’t see you at all, he has already handed over to me the full authority to handle Carthage’s foreign affairs.”

Okleton was shocked and looked at Haka again. There was despair in his eyes, but more pleading, he opened his mouth with difficulty, but said nothing.

Haka showed a look of sympathy and said softly: “I know that it is difficult for you to make these decisions, but no matter how difficult it is, in order to allow the Carthaginians to survive better, and for your family To be able to continue living in the land you are familiar with, you must make a decision as soon as possible, because time waits for no one, as soon as September passes, the north wind that represents the arrival of the cold winter will blow…”

Okriton’s heart suddenly A piece of ice.

Seeing Okredon leaving in a state of despair, Haka’s heart was filled with indescribable joy, he poured himself another glass of wine, raised it high, and said sincerely, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me a revenge. chance!”

He drank after he finished speaking.

………………………………………………

In the next two days, Okridon was still trying to get the chance to meet King Davos through various channels, but there was no chance Undoubtedly failed.

Although the celebration was about to start, he still had no intention of staying in Turii, and anxiously returned to Carthage by boat, and began to secretly find someone to discuss countermeasures.

On September 9, the Hades Celebration begins.

People from various towns and cities in the kingdom crowded on both sides of the main road in Turiyi City, sending flowers and cheers to the soldiers who marched in line from the north barracks and went to Victory Square to be reviewed. The outstanding soldiers and team officers selected by the cavalry, who have participated in many battles and made military exploits, proudly hold the flags of their respective regiment brigade and company, and have to pass through the three Arc de Triomphe in Turii one after another.

The Arc de Triomphe is engraved with the most important battle scenes of the Crotone War, the Southern Italian War, and the Western Mediterranean War, which also represent the three most critical moments that Dionia has experienced since its establishment: the battle of the alliance, The battle for the founding of the nation and the war for the mighty nation.

The parade of legionnaires passed under them one after another, which meant that it was this mighty army of citizens that allowed Dionia to grow from weak to strong, and eventually to a mighty kingdom.

Behind the army was a parade composed of people from more than a dozen regions of the kingdom. Compared with the uniform soldiers, their formation was very loose, but more lively. They were excited to interact with the people on the street and warmly interacted with them. The atmosphere of the celebration was more lively and joyful.

The entire team of the game fluttered with colorful flags, cheered continuously, and walked into the Victory Square.

On the podium in front of the Senate House, Davos led the important officials of the kingdom, the main elders, dressed in full costumes, stood upright, and watched a group of teams pass by with a smile.

On the viewing platforms on both sides, the invited allies, allies and dignitaries witnessed this unprecedented grand celebration, but their expressions were different: some were sincerely happy for Dionia, such as the Wolsey, Heath Some were glad that they could join the Dionysian League in time, such as the Etruscans, Samonais, etc.; some were worried and fearful, such as the Sidishenians.

After all, when the entire parade filled the Victory Square, and the surrounding area was also crowded with crowds of spectators, the center of the inner city of Turi was completely transformed into a sea of people, with a total of 70,000 to 80,000 people, more than a city-state, The number of a large race is comparable, and this is only a drop in the number of the huge population of the Kingdom of Dionia.

The crowd in the square was suffocating.

But when Davos walked to the front of the podium, the inside and outside of the square quickly recovered, and only the voices of Davos and the speaker echoed over the square:

“Citizens of the Kingdom of Dionia, today we gather in Here, the celebration of the sacrifice of Hades. Since the establishment of Dionia, we have encountered many difficulties and setbacks in the past 20 years, but under the blessing of Hades and our concerted efforts Under this, we have passed through difficulties one after another.

Today we can stand up and declare to the whole world that Dionia has become a powerful kingdom, and we not only do not fear the challenge of any enemy , and we will also provide support and protection for any country and force that wants to befriend us!

The god Hades is very satisfied with all the achievements of Dionia, and he sent an oracle, not only will he continue to bless The people of the kingdom, and the name of the kingdom of Dioria is allowed to bear the holy name, and any enemy who dares to offend the kingdom will be punished and cursed by him as if he directly violated the domain of this great god!

Citizens , thank the great Hades! Cheers for the Dionysian Holy Kingdom!” As soon as Davos

finished speaking, a tsunami of cheers erupted inside and outside the square: “The merciful Hades is victorious!!!”

“The Holy Kingdom of Dionysius is Victorious!!!”

…

The faces of every citizen who raised their arms and shouted were filled with enthusiasm. Since then, they have firmly believed that they have something to support in life and support in death, and they no longer fear any hardships and difficulties, because they are already the land of the great god. the people.

In the frenetic atmosphere, the staff of the patrol department who maintained order began to arrange for the parade to gradually withdraw from the venue.

Then came the large-scale theatrical performances, “The Birth of Hades”, “The Founding of Dionia”… One after another, traditional kingdom plays were staged in the square one after another.

The actors on the plaza performed very hard, and the audience outside the venue also watched with extreme concentration, bursting with applause and cheers from time to time.

By the time the final show, “Battle in Sicily,” came to a close, the sun was already in the middle of the sky.
