Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 843

[Chapter 189 Stolo’s Annoyance]

Davos expressed his gratitude to the legion commanders who came to the stage one by one. When it was the fourth legion commander Olivers’ turn, he looked down at the silver scepter whose shape and length were different from the previous ones, and joked: “Your Majesty , Since the drought, our treasury has been strained, and I am also worried that there will be no rewards to receive at the Triumph.”

Davos replied solemnly: “Rome has enough gold and silver, and there are very good craftsmen. Of course, you If

you care so much about the treasury, you can donate it to the finance department!”

“The finance department doesn’t look down on this small piece of silver.” Olivers said with a smile, but clenched the scepter tightly in his hand.

Sextus stood on the platform following the legion commanders, listening to the thunderous cheers of the soldiers and the people in the audience, feeling both excited and nervous.

Davos came to him and said seriously with a smile on his face: “Sextus, thank you for your contribution to the Kingdom of Dionia! I feel very much for the kingdom to have such an excellent citizen as you. Glad

!”

Davos said, handing him the silver paper scepter.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Sextus expressed his gratitude excitedly, then took the scepter cautiously, looked and looked at it, and couldn’t put it down.

“I look forward to a day when the triumphal ceremony is held for you!” Davers encouraged again.

Davos’s words and this situation made Sextus feel proud. He imitated the other legion commanders. Onia military salute.

“Your Majesty!” The last general who came to power gave Davos a military salute.

Davos saw him with a hint of apology on his face: “Izam, this scepter should have been given to you long ago!”

Izam was also straightforward: “As long as Your Majesty can always think of our mountain reconnaissance in the future Brigade, forget about our mountain brigade before.”

Davers laughed and handed him the scepter.

Izam waved his scepter in the direction where the soldiers of the mountain brigade stood under the stage, and when he saw the soldiers cheering, he said to Davos: “This honor belongs to the soldiers of our entire mountain reconnaissance brigade. . However, I think Printols is more suitable for sitting on the carriage than me.”

Davers

said lightly: “I remember all the achievements of Printols, so don’t worry about him anymore.”

After the generals and soldiers on the platform received the cheers from the square, Davos walked to the front of the stage. Half of the 20 voice transmitters behind him were Latins who were proficient in Greek.

Davos shouted loudly: “Whether it’s the soldiers of the Dionysian Legion or the Roman soldiers who have joined Dionia, it is because of your heroic battles that you have won one victory after another, and you will have today. Triumph! The kingdom thanks you, heroic citizens of Dionia!”

“Won Victory!!! Victory in Victory!!! Victory in Victory!!!…” There were continuous cheers from the square.

“We traveled long distances and fought bloody battles in Latium, mainly to make this place like the rest of Dionia, where every citizen could own land, every citizen had equal rights, every citizen Every citizen can lead a good life with their families! You have sacrificed a lot to achieve this goal, and this war is far from over, and more sacrifices will be made in the future, Dionysus Citizens of Asia, will you be afraid?! Will you back down?!”

“No!!! No!!! No!!!…”

Davos nodded, and

he shouted emotionally: ” As long as we work together and are not afraid of challenges, any enemy will be crushed by us, and Rome will surely become a peaceful and prosperous place like southern Italy! At that time, your achievements will be engraved on stone tablets and written into history books for The people pay their respects! And you will also receive the richest reward in the kingdom!”

Having said that, Davos couldn’t help shouting: “Wan Sheng, the warriors of Dionia!” The

excited soldiers immediately replied Continued cheers, including many Roman civilian soldiers: “The Kingdom of Dionia is victorious!!!…”

“His Majesty King Davos is victorious!!!…”

This

cheers echoed in the city of Rome, making countless noble families overshadowed, and also the god Stolo, who was standing in front of the window with a cane and looking out at the square. Feeling dignified.

At this time, his wife Konya came over and hugged him tightly.

Feeling a slight tremor in her body, Stolo knew that his wife was afraid: these days, she had been worried that she would be escorted on board by Dionian soldiers, like other Roman noble men, and escorted to some unfamiliar place, Leaving her alone in this hostile city…

Not only did his wife think so, but Stolo himself once thought that he would be captured by Dionian soldiers and sent elsewhere.

Because after the temple assassination, some people who resisted Dionia were arrested one after another. As one of the masterminds, he thought he would suffer the same fate, although the number of soldiers patrolling his neighborhood increased. , but no one has ever broken into his house.

As Stolo became cautious and stopped interacting with others, he kept thinking: Why is this happening?

Of course he wouldn’t know that Davos had considerable interest and respect for him because he was a well-known historical figure.

He believed that the Dionians must have known about his special origin and were waiting for him to surrender like other Roman commoners.

But he will not give in, because his father-in-law is still standing on Capitoline Hill, his father is fighting outside Rome, and if he surrenders, where will his relatives be!

“Stolo, there have been rumors in the city these days that our army has been… defeated, is this true?!” Konya asked with a trembling voice.

Stolo came back to his senses, and immediately comforted her, saying: “That’s an army of 70,000 people, much more than the Dionian army, and led by the dictator Camillous himself, even if there are really one or two This defeat will not have much impact on the entire army! This is just a rumor, it wants to shake our confidence and make us surrender…”

“But…” Konya was still worried: “The rumor that Wei Ai and Kesreira City were occupied should be true. I have seen many Wei Ai people pass by the door in the past two days.

” Love and Casereira were really occupied by the Dionysians, and there is nothing to worry about.” Stolo continued to comfort his wife: “In those days, the Celts occupied more towns, and in the end they were not given to us. Are you repelled! As long as our army is still there, and Lord Camillous is still there, we can definitely… finally drive out the Dionysians!”

Having said this, Stolo quickly changed the subject: “Today What’s for lunch? I’m a little hungry.”

“Since the house’s barn and cellar have been looted by the goddamn Dionians, what else is there to eat! That little flour is distributed every day according to the number of people. And a few dry fruits…” Konya said loudly, her resentment towards the Dionysians was palpable.

“By the way, those Dionysians brought some river fish over this morning, and finally saw some meat, but the fish smell is too fishy, it’s inedible if it’s not cooked well, I have to go to the kitchen and tell me Servant…” After Konya finished speaking, she hurried out of the room.

Stolo’s face was heavy again, and he stared out the window.

At the end of the triumphal ceremony, the Roman people scattered from the square are returning to their new homes in groups. Mount Silio is the area where the most Roman civilians have been resettled. , even Stolo, who lives on the mountainside, can hear it clearly.

Whether arguing about the difference between the two triumphs, lamenting that Sextus and Varelius became one of the protagonists of the triumphs, or talking about King Dionia’s speeches on the triumphs… Stolo learned from these The same emotion could be heard in the words – excitement.

Compared with the occupation of Rome and the defeat of the army, this is what worries him the most – the Roman civilians are identifying with the Kingdom of Dionia.

“To turn Rome into a fair, prosperous, and peaceful city?!…” Stolo whispered these words: this was his ambition as an adult, but he knew he had to realize it. How difficult is this goal, yet now the enemies of Rome are using it to win the approval of Roman civilians, which the barbaric Celts never imagined!

Seniors above, do you know that what you have been trying to prevent all this time is now becoming a sharp weapon to pierce your chest!

Stolo looked at the outline of Capitoline Mountain far away to the southeast, and slammed his fist on the windowsill in annoyance.

……………………………………

The Roman elders at this time, like Stolo, looked at the Roman Forum from the Capitoline Hill, because Capitoline Hill was the highest in the city and was only a short distance from Rome. The square is not too far away, so they can see more clearly, and they can even vaguely see the priests, idols, bands, generals in carriages, soldiers marching in the procession…

Although they can’t hear the sound, they can’t hear the sound of Dionysian. The Kingdom of Asia Knows More The Roman elders knew what the Dionians were doing: they held a triumphal ceremony in the city of Rome!

What made them even more angry was that they saw that among the soldiers participating in the triumphal ceremony, there was a general wearing Roman armor and many Roman soldiers, and in the end, with the cheering from the square, they could still Hearing the shouts mixed with Latin, before the triumphant ceremony on the square ended, many elders had silently left the top of the cliff.

The only thing that the elders felt fortunate was that a few days ago, they had already sent soldiers to block off this area where the Roman Forum could be seen the most clearly, prohibiting any public from entering.
