Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 824

[Chapter 170 Sextus]

“Sir! Wake up! There’s something big!! My lord…”

Camelus was pushed awake by the adjutant, and his heart suddenly tightened: “What happened?!”

“There is a riot in the camp! Some soldiers attacked the camp. Guards, occupied the camp gate…”

“What?!!…”

……………………………………

Davos let some Roman civilians out of the city, purely out of “there is no date or no date” He didn’t hold much expectations, because he stood on the top of the city and carefully observed the camp built by the Roman army, and it seemed that its defense was still good. It’s not bad, and Camelus ruthlessly refused to accept his family…

Davos lamented that the Roman dictator was worthy of being called the “Father of Rome” in his previous life, but he also did not think that this hard-hearted , The cool-headed Roman dictator will let these people enter the camp and disturb the morale of the army.

However, various coincidences made the result of this event far beyond Davos’s expectations.

When he was awakened by Martius in his sleep and learned that there was chaos in the Roman camp, he couldn’t believe it was the result of the old men who were released in the afternoon. The Mintas sent soldiers to select a few Roman soldiers and people who had escaped into the city through the east gate and brought them to the Senate. After inquiring, Davos knew that the chaos in the Roman camp was caused by thousands of people who wanted to flee the camp. Caused by Roman civilian soldiers.

“Is this true? Or is it Camelus’ trick to lure the enemy?” Davos looked at the dark night outside the window, not sure.

On the one hand, he ordered the various legions to gather troops, and on the other hand, the intelligence department immediately conducted separate interrogation of the soldiers and the people who entered the city.

Finally, when he made up his mind to take action, the commotion in the Roman camp was a little quieter than at the beginning, but he still sent the second and fifth legions out of the south gate to try to attack the Roman camp, and sent the first The legion went out of the east gate, responded to the Roman civilian soldiers and people who fled later, and repelled the pursuers.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, on this night, Camillous and the generals devote their main energy to stabilizing the army and calming the riots in the camp, and they have no energy to resist the attack of the Dionians, let alone the attack of the Dionysians. Said to send more troops to counter the Dionian army.

And Davos did not prepare carefully in advance. Attacking the Roman camp in the dark was an adventure, and he was also worried that the Roman civilian soldiers who fled into the city of Rome would become unstable and cause chaos, so this night battle did not How long does it last.

But for the leadership on both sides,

there are many thorny issues that need to be resolved urgently.

……………………………………

A dozen candles illuminated the Roman Senate, Davos paced back and forth in the center of the venue, bowing his head and thinking, behind him were Henepolis and Klotoka Tux was with him.

At this time, the Roman administrator Asisters strode into the venue.

“What happened to the Romans who fled into the city?” Davos asked immediately when he saw him.

Asisters immediately said: “Your Majesty, as a result of our emergency statistics, a total of 1,275 Roman soldiers and 213 Roman citizens fled into the city, and the administrative adjutant Tonix organized 100 people who have applied for Dionia. The Romans of the citizens screened them and found out the diners of two nobles and seven nobles. The other Romans have all been identified as civilians. Now they are all temporarily controlled in the military camp of the First Army, waiting for His Majesty. Your next instructions.”

Davers was delighted that the newly established city hall could have such efficiency, and he asked in a soft tone: “What do you think should be done with them?”

“When I came, I had the registrar Porotax preach to them the special laws that your Majesty made for the Roman civilians, and persuaded them to apply for Dionysian citizenship immediately, and all Romans who have applied for Dionysian citizenship Soldiers could immediately allocate land and housing to them, and then let them go home. For those Roman soldiers who did not want to join our kingdom, they temporarily put them in the barracks for a period of errands, citing a ‘shortage of manpower’. It’s easy to take care of…” Asisters talked eloquently, obviously planning for this.

“Assi, you are very thoughtful!” Davos first praised, and then said confidently: “These Roman soldiers ventured out of the camp late at night and returned to Rome. It can be seen that most of them are willing to become Dionys. Asian citizens, even if there are a few people who haven’t figured it out for the time being, don’t be too cautious, just let them all go home, and usually let the patrol team pay more attention. Even if some people have other thoughts, in the current Roman city they Can’t make any waves!”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Asistes responded immediately.

Davos looked at him and suddenly smiled: “I see, are you ready to put them all home?”

“Nothing can be hidden from your eyes, Your Majesty.” Asisters respectfully answer.

“You, you!” Davos tapped him with his hand. He wanted to criticize a few words, but he swallowed the words, reached out and patted his shoulder hard, and said sternly: “I appointed you as Rome. The Chief Executive believes that only you can turn the city of Rome into our city of Dionia, so you can govern it with confidence, and boldly issue an order to implement your governance of the city, and don’t take me into account!”

“Yes…!” The answer was the same, but this time, Asisters’ tone was a little excited, he took a deep breath, and then said seriously: “Your Majesty, there is a Roman soldier who has strongly requested to see you. , he said he had something important to report to you…and this man was the only Roman squadron commander of all the Romans who had fled into the city. According to others, the Roman civilian soldiers were able to escape the camp this time, mainly He was planned and led by him.”

“Oh?!” Davers asked interestedly, “What’s his name?”

“Lucius Sextus, I have brought him here, he is waiting outside the door.”

“Then let him in.” Davos said with interest.

……………………………………

As a Roman citizen, Sextus entered the Roman Senate for the first time. Of course, he had heard others tell about the layout of the Senate many times since he was a child. And the many stories that happened in the venue, I also imagined many times that one day I would sit in this sacred place wearing a red-trimmed white robe, discussing the future of Rome.

However, at this time, it was not the Roman soldiers in red helmets and red armor who guarded the entrance and exit of the venue, but the Dionian guards in black helmets and black armor.

The ring-shaped venue that should have been quarreling is now empty, but there should be enough space for the elders to give speeches with a long table and a lot of wooden chairs in the center of the venue.

Under the illumination of candlelight, three people sat in the center of the venue.

It seems that the Dionysians transformed the Holy Roman Senate into an ordinary place of discussion!

Sextus felt that he should have felt angry, but the power of anger could not flow in his heart. Instead, there was an indescribable feeling that made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Under the guidance of the palace guard Martius, he walked to the center of the venue, and the middle-aged leader who had been watching him said angrily: “Please sit down, Sextus.”

Sextu Sitting down bluntly, he asked bluntly in Greek, “You are the king of Dionia?”

“I am.” Davos smiled slightly.

“We Romans finally abolished the king’s government a hundred years ago because of the cruelty of the king, and adopted a republican form of government, and made all citizens swear that no one will ever be king. As far as I know, many of your city-states in Greece They have all changed from the previous monarchy to a democratic system, but Dionia is the monarchy, do you think we Romans will accept the rule of a king?”

Davos smiled again and said, “If you Roman commoners Satisfied with the Roman system, why do you constantly fight against the nobility, even refusing to vote for consuls at the Citizens’ Assembly?”

Sextus obviously thought about this, and he quickly replied: “The republic in Rome has problems, but it is better than the previous royal system.”

“In my opinion, UU Reading www.sonicmtl .com Whether a city-state’s government is good or not depends not on what kind of government it is, but how many citizens it can benefit from!” Davos said with emphasis: “Rome’s system made Roman civilians, who accounted for about half of the total population, feel strongly about it. I am dissatisfied and continue to fight; and although the kingdom of Dionia implements the royal government, every citizen in the kingdom owns land and can use the public land of the kingdom fairly, and every citizen is in debt and can smoothly It pays off, every citizen has the opportunity to serve as an important minister and elder of the kingdom, and every citizen must obey the law, whether it is a commoner or a noble, as long as he violates the law, he will be punished…

Even if I am a king, I must abide by the same The laws of the kingdom made by the senate, so I don’t see which citizen’s wife is beautiful and take it for himself (the last king of Rome was expelled because the citizen’s wife was humiliated by the royal family and finally triggered), because that would be punished by the law, the most severe death penalty; nor would I see a rich citizen and forcibly plunder his property, then I would be guilty of theft; even less likely that I would look at someone If it was not pleasing to the eye, he ordered him to be arrested or even killed, because the judges would refuse to execute it, and the Senate would protest…”

Hearing this, Sextus said in disbelief: “You put Theo The royal government of Nia is very well said, is it really carried out like this?” ()
