Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 804

[Chapter 150 Roman Hero Marcus]

At the same time, the guards roared in unison.

Faced with murderous intent, Publius Manlius didn’t feel nervous at all, and put on a blank expression that didn’t understand Greek.

Davos watched this guy with a soft round face and a little festive look pretending to be stupid, and couldn’t help laughing: “We have already interrogated your slave, you are proficient in Greek, don’t pretend any more. ”

Publius’ face changed immediately, and he said coldly in Greek: “Occupying our city, and wanting us to express our gratitude, I think only a fool would have such a ridiculous idea!”

“You— —” Henepolis was so angry that he was about to refute, but Davos waved to stop it.

The Roman patriarch deserves to be the elite among the Romans, there is no coward!

Davos, who knew some of the history of the Roman Republic in the previous life, sighed, and then said slowly: “The Manlius clan is a famous clan in Rome! Someone told me that when the Celts occupied the city of Rome, they saved Rome. One of the heroes of ——Marcus Manlius Capitolinus should also belong to your Manlius clan, I wonder if he is your brother?”

Pubrius’s face changed, Loudly said: “No, I have nothing to do with him!”

Davos looked directly at him and said in a serious tone: “Marcus Manlius Capitolinus used to be your Manlius clan. The patriarch, how could you have nothing to do with him?! I’m afraid you can’t get rid of him if you can sit in the position of the Roman patriarch!”

Publius seemed to be insulted, ignoring the deterrence of the guard next to him, stood up, He emphasized loudly: “Marcus’ attempt to implement a dictatorship in Rome is a disgrace to our Manlius clan. He has been removed from the genealogy and has nothing to do with us!”

“Oh, dictatorship?!” Davos smiled playfully: “You have abolished the king in Rome, how much ability Marcus dares to rashly implement dictatorship when the Roman people have long recognized the current Roman system of government?! Is it because he once repelled the surprise attack of the Celts on the Capitoline Hill and saved Rome?! Or is it because he has repelled the attack of the Aiqui people a few times?! Or is it because he fought bravely and won more than 40 The honor of topping the laurel crown?!…I think Marcus, who has served as the consul of Rome many times, should not be a lunatic, he is not so stupid to joke about his own life!”

Pubrius was a little surprised, he didn’t To think that an alien king knew so much about Marcus.

“But he was still killed in the end, and was even charged by your Senate for ‘attempting to dictatorship’, why?” Davos asked in a deep voice with eyes like a knife.

However,

Publius did not make eye contact with him, and was even more silent.

Davos smiled slightly and said softly, “It’s not because he supports the commoners, demands the abolition of debts, fights for rights for commoners, and damages the interests of your nobles, so he is regarded as a traitor and will be killed!

” The words got into Publius’ ears, and he was shocked. He didn’t expect that the king of Dionia knew so much about the past, and he couldn’t help but feel uneasy: what did he want to do?

“But in my opinion, Marcus Manlius Capitolinus is a real Roman hero. He can disregard his aristocratic status and sincerely help the commoners, so that Rome can relieve the nobles. The fierce conflict with the commoners has allowed your city-state to develop better, but unfortunately the greedy and short-sighted Roman nobles not only brutally killed him, but also

shamelessly

framed him, which is really unbearable!”

The look of indignation, giving the impression that he was not a Dionian king, but a Roman citizen worried about state affairs, puzzled Publius.

At this time, Davos said in a deep voice: “So I decided – in front of the Roman people tomorrow, to clear up the injustices of this real Roman hero, pay him back his innocence, and declare the realization of his ideals, abolish the debts of the Roman commoners, Allocate land to them and give them an equal opportunity to hold public office in the state…”

Hearing this, Publius exclaimed in a hurry: “No, you have no right to do that!”

“Of course I have the right, because Rome The city is in my hands! Do you think the assembled army of over 60,000 led by Camelus will be able to capture this fortified city guarded by my elite Dionysian army of 50,000?! He will soon taste To the taste of failure!” Davos looked straight at Publius with sharp eyes, his voice pierced into his brain like a nail: “And you – Publius Manlius will tomorrow Appear with me in front of the Roman people. As the cousin of Marcus, you have to show your support for the orders I issued. I think you will be supported by countless Roman people!”

“No! Even if you kill me , I will never appear in front of the people with you!” Publius refused on the spot without hesitation.

“This is an order! You must be present! Otherwise—” Davos raised his eyebrows sharply, his tone was firm, he reached out to the guard for the dagger, and then slammed it down, only to hear a “bang”, a table on the wooden table The horn was completely cut off.

The triangular corner of the table bounced a few times on the ground, making a “clanging” sound, which shocked Publius, and what shocked him even more was Daversson’s cold voice: “You and your family. All of them will be executed! Anyway, I still have a few prisoners of the Manlius clan in my hands, and someone will agree. I will give you a little time to think about it, Publius Manlius, the current Patriarch.” At the end, Davos smiled at him.

In Publius’ eyes, this smile was as terrifying as a demon. When he was taken out by the guards, his legs were almost weak, but he kept cursing in his heart: Marcus, you have harmed us Manlius. Isn’t the clan not enough, and now we are going to be buried with us!

If it weren’t for you, how could I keep a low profile in the Senate all these years!

And it was because the other elders were alienated from our clan that they forgot to notify us to evacuate in advance. When we packed up and wanted to go to Capitoline Hill, the entire square was blocked by civilians… Marcus!

Marcus…”

“Your Majesty, will he agree?

Henipolis asked curiously.

“He doesn’t agree, and there are other Manlius.”

Even if all Manlius disagreed, it wouldn’t have much effect on our plans.

Davos returned the short sword to the guard, and then said easily: “With them, it just makes our actions more convincing.”

As long as the benefits to the Roman commoners are real, I don’t believe they won’t be tempted.

”

Actually, this Pubrius didn’t realize that he did what you said, His Majesty, how much benefit it would bring to him in the future.

Henipolis laughed.

“Then he can only regret it in hell.”

Davos said lightly, and then reminded Henepolis: “Go and call Valks in.”

”

Valquez walked into the Roman Senate for the first time. Although he was very curious, he did not stop to look carefully, because the king of Dionia was waiting for him in front of him

. Taking revenge and getting out of the predicament, he chose to help Dionia, an outsider, against his former mother state. Now he is really full of awe for Dionia: in one day, he captured Rome, the largest city-state of the Latinum, What a powerful military force this is! Can other forces here really compete with this mighty kingdom?!

Valks was deeply suspicious, so he came to King Davos uneasy.

Davos was kind Said to him: “I remember your name is Valks, don’t be nervous, do it first.

”

“Yes… yes…” Valks responded repeatedly, but still stood cautiously.

Seeing him like this, Davos said in a gentle tone: “This time we were able to capture the city of Rome. You have made a great contribution. In recognition of your achievements, I will grant you a Dionysian citizen in advance. Your

identity.”

“Thank you… Your Majesty… Your Majesty!” Valks said hurriedly.

Davos smiled and said: “Also… now we have the city of Rome, and you are the first Roman to become a citizen of Dionia, in order to facilitate the management of this city, I have decided to appoint you as the city of Rome. Administrative Adjutant!”

“Administrative Adjutant?!” Valks wondered about the meaning of the unfamiliar word.

“It’s similar to the city officials in Rome, and the actual power is greater than that of the city officials.” Henipolis, who has done some research on the Roman polity, explained on the side.

The Roman mayor, as the name implies, manages the government affairs of the city of Rome, but in fact Rome is a country, and the decisions of the big and small are decided by the Senate. The government affairs of the city of Rome are in charge of the two consuls. The magistrate is in charge. The city official is actually just one of the subordinates of the consul, responsible for some insignificant affairs in the city of Rome, so it is only a mid-level official position in Rome.

The administrative adjutant of Dionia is different. Since the city administrator is the top manager of a city in Dionia, he can manage the city according to his own ideas without violating the laws of Dionia. As the assistant of the chief executive, the administrative adjutant is responsible for the specific affairs of a certain aspect of the city, and has a pivotal right to speak and execute in this aspect. Although it is only a mid-level official position of Dionia, it is It is a transition to a senior official position, and the Dionian officials who have been promoted to the elders in the past ten years have served as administrative adjutants before, so the position of administrative adjutants has also become a vane for promotion to the elders.
