Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 621

[Chapter 40 Advice to Abenerum]

Facing Gellney’s expectant gaze, Davos did not hesitate, he nodded immediately and said firmly: “For allies who are really friendly with our Dionia, Dionia will never let them suffer. Grievance! Don’t worry, Garni, I will send messengers to Beneventum to publicly declare my support for you. Any tribe that wants to go against you will be an enemy of Dionia! And I will condemn Xi The secret boycott of the Covenant by Alpini, Cautini, and Pentney over the past few years!” Davers said, motioning for the clerk to record the matter.

Gellney was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly, and the stone in his heart was finally put down.

But I heard Davos say again: “What I’m worried about now is that the Shirpini Tribal Alliance knows that you Abenerum and Dionia have a good relationship, but when the alliance is about to expire, the holding of the alliance is not good for you. Don’t worry about causing Dionia’s dissatisfaction and defending you, doesn’t it mean that Leskuk is no longer planning to renew his contract?”

Gellney was shocked, and Davers said this paragraph of the question. He was worried about time too, but he preferred to convince himself that it was a tactic of Leskouk, who wanted to test Dionysus through the Abenirum affair in order to gain the initiative and Modify some treaties. After all, Dionia’s power is obvious to all. Before any force offends it, it must first weigh its own weight and whether it can withstand Dionia’s anger.

Davos saw Gellney’s expression a little nervous, and smiled: “Actually, for us Dionia, whether Shirpini is willing to renew the contract has no impact or loss, but for the Samonais—” Dai Firth showed a sympathetic look and sighed: “You love living in the mountains, this is a long-standing tradition, but living in the mountains, there are difficulties in the mountains, there is not enough arable land to grow food, although animal husbandry is feasible, but beware of wild animals It is also necessary to pray that it will not be too cold in winter, otherwise it will be difficult for livestock to survive. Just like the situation in the previous two years, the winter in the mountains is much colder than that in the coastal areas. As for hunting, it cannot support many people at all, so It was only ten years ago that your father joined the other Samone tribes and launched the attack on Potentia, not only because of the instigation of the Syracuses, but also because of your survival needs, to get more land to support Your growing population…”

Davos’s words made Gellney’s heart feel sour: ten years ago, he was still a fierce warrior, fighting under the protection of his father Veroni…

“But war is not for the survival of the Samonai tribe .

The only way is to strengthen friendly trade with other forces, not only can you get more food, but you don’t have to worry about losing the war and the sacrifice of your people. Your Abenerum is the best example. As far as I know, your current Life is much better than other Shilpini tribes, and even more children were born and survived in the past few years than other tribes. If this continues, in another ten years, Abelum will once again become the largest Shilpini tribe. Town!…”

Gellney’s heart was surging, and Davos was saying exactly what he was thinking. An important goal in his heart was to make Shirpini, who once belonged to Abenirum, the chief leader. Take it back.

“Sufficient food and good medical skills are the most important conditions for the survival and growth of the tribe!” Davos said in a serious tone: “In the past, the forces around the Samone people, Campania and Lucania, were

unwilling to be with you because of their fear.

Communication makes you have to rely on looting to solve the problem of survival. Now Dionia is the only country willing to have friendly relations with Samone, but the Samona people reject our good intentions, saying what blasphemy?! Regardless of the difficult life in the mountains, the priests of Hades stayed in Abenirum for many years. How many sick Samonites have been rescued for free! How many difficult Samonites have been helped! For you, Hades is an alien god, so what! I can say that the main gods of the Greeks were once alien gods. Our own gods, some of the Campanians now even worship your celestial god, Savoni, to keep their livestock safe. And Hades presides over the same priesthood as your Samonaite gods now It’s not a conflict, you didn’t have a god who mastered death and hell before! Why don’t you try to accept it?!…”

Davos’s sincere words made Gellney very uneasy. Taking the initiative to contact Dionia was out of frustration, but in fact there was a conflict in her heart.

Listening to Davos’ words at this moment, I benefited a lot, and I wanted to explain a little guilty.

Davos waved his hand and said, “The other Samonai tribes are unwilling to accept Dionia’s kindness. We don’t force it, but I have to worry about Abenerum!

” Eyes widened: “Your Majesty, what you said is that Leskuk will start a war against Abenerum?!”

“Once Shirpini no longer renews his contract with Dionia, it is very likely that he will fight against him.

Abenerum, who obeyed the decision of the tribal alliance, will take revenge. You and Leskuk have always had a conflict, so I don’t need to say more.” Davos looked at him and said solemnly: “When the time comes, Dionysus If Ya Zai supports you, it may lead to the second war between the kingdom and Samone! The war with Samone is not what I hoped, and it is difficult for the Senate to make a decision to support you!”

Gale Hearing this, Ni was a little anxious: “Did Dionia let Lesguk lead his troops to attack me Abenirum, don’t forget that Abenirum was killed because he had always been friendly with Dionia. Abandonment from other Shilpini tribes!”

Davos looked calm, saw Gellney’s excitedly waving hands as nothing, and said slowly: “This is just one of our guesses, Hill headed by Beneventum It’s also possible that the Pini Alliance would be reluctant to risk losing Dionia as an ally by opting to renew. But either way, the danger is always there for your Abenerum, and there’s a way… but It can make Abenerum completely safe—” Having said that, Davos stopped talking.

Gaerney immediately asked, “What can I do?”

Davers did not answer directly, but asked in a slow manner: “You Abenerum should have had a lot of contact with Potentia, do you think? How is Potentia today different from what it was ten years ago?”

what’s the difference?

…Gerny’s previous impressions of the Potentians flashed in his mind: the biggest difference is probably the attitude towards the Samonais. In the past, Potentians were afraid of the Samonais, but now they are not afraid of them. , but took the initiative to contact the Samonais, just like the Potentian Ginat they met when they came, and wanted to trade with Abenerum.

In the past, Potentia was as poor and backward as Samonay. If there were no major events, there would be very little communication between the tribes. When they passed by Potentia some time ago, they saw a vibrant town with many tribes. There are temporary fairs or permanent small markets between settlements. The reason is that the Dionysians helped build some roads, which made communication between the Potentia tribes quick and easy…

Gale Ni was silent for a while, with a bit of vigilance on his face, and hesitantly said in a low voice: “Your Majesty, do you want to make Abenerum… become Dionia’s ‘free city’…”

“Become Free City, apart from the fact that it belongs to Dionia in name, Abenirum will not change anything, and will get a lot of benefits, just like

Portentia.” Davos said the temptation easily. Sexual words, Gellney was silent.

“Of course, this is just one of my suggestions.” Davos smiled and did not continue to press: “You can go back and think about it, in fact, it is not only Abenilum who has encountered such trouble, Laconia also Encountered the same problem, we also gave them the same advice.”

Laconia?

Gellney felt that the name was quite familiar, and after thinking about it carefully: it seemed to be a town in Cautini, which is located in the mountains north of Hainona… While Gellney was

surprised, he was relieved: it was not Abe. Nerum alone faces the predicament of fighting the traditions of the Samonei

……………………………………

In the territory of Dernia in Sicily, although the Ministry of Military Affairs has only one legion (the Eighth Legion) here, there are two barracks: one in Tauromenian, which is usually more of a fortress, because It could not hold too many soldiers; the other was located on the northern edge of the plain of Catania, between the cities of Catana and Sikuli, where the real camp of the Eighth Legion was .

At this time, the barracks of the Eighth Army Corps were already full of people, and it was no longer the deserted scene of the past.

Galademus led the pack team into the barracks. Although there were soldiers coming and going on the road, and soldiers’ quarters of similar size and style were lined up on both sides, these did not prevent him from going where he wanted to go. After all, he was transferred here. Before Naxos, the Ministry of Military Affairs transferred his military affiliation to the Eighth Legion. He has trained many times in this barracks, and he can be said to be very familiar, although he is only a reserve soldier.

Galademus was walking on the slightly crowded passage and seemed to hear someone calling his name. He followed the sound and saw a familiar figure.

Dio Cassis rushed to his side with a smile on his face: “The blessing of the goddess of luck, let me see you here too.”

“If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have brought the newly harvested wheat here. .” Galademus complained.

“What does it have to do with me?” Diocassis asked in confusion as he looked back at the long pack team.
