Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 917

[Chapter 264 The Safety of Apulia]

Before Sedorum could finish speaking, Philisius interjected: “There is still the Ninth Legion stationed in Apulia. Before, because of His Majesty’s reminder, the Ministry of Military Affairs specially asked the Ninth Legion to stay in Udier, and did not Expedition with Alexis to the mountains of Samona is to prevent such a thing from happening. I believe that the commander of the Tegtinos army will be able to easily defeat the incoming enemy.”

“I believe that our army can easily defeat the rabble. , but I am worried that these former fugitive leaders of Messapi, Puchetti and Downey will return to Apulia and cause unrest in the region, just like Bruti during the South-Italian War.” When Dorom talks about the past, his mood is a bit complicated: the chaos in the Bruti region gave him the opportunity to show his talents and laid the foundation for him to become the rotating chairman of the Senate, but the turmoil and riots also caused the entire Bruti region to fall into chaos. During the war, the population was greatly reduced, and many tribes disappeared as a result.

“Please rest assured, my lords, it has been almost 10 years since the Pucherti region was incorporated into the kingdom. The people there live free and prosperous, and are proud of the citizens of Dionia. It is impossible for them to be instigated by these bereaved dogs, whom they have long forgotten. Start a riot and return to the poor period ruled and controlled by kings and chiefs, on the contrary, they will cooperate with the kingdom’s army and drive away these thugs who are trying to take away their happiness!”

The person who spoke was the former Puchetti Regional Center. The leader of the large tribe of Sylvim in the town and the future father-in-law of Prince Adoris, Torrex, the elder Pucherti is not only headed by him, but he is also quite prestigious among the Pucherti people, so his words are It made the elders present at ease a lot.

Immediately afterwards, another senator, Apirocia, who had played a major role in Messapi (he was also the father-in-law of the court clerk Henipolis), also stood up at this moment and exclaimed: “We Messapi is incorporated into Dionysus. ya longer and I can assure you here that the people of Messapi will only see these ex-Messapis who landed in Apulia as outsiders, as thugs who want to destroy their peaceful lives, the people will Fully support the kingdom army to defeat them!” The

successive speeches of the elders Puchetti and Messapi made the eyes of the other elders unconsciously focus on the other elder, Lugosembronn.

The identity of this veteran from Downey is no trivial matter. He is the former King of Downey. In the war of Dionysian conquest of Downey four years ago, he surrendered early in the city of Luceria, which made Alexis. Sri Lanka conquered the Downey region.

In order to appease the people of Dawney and stabilize the hearts of the people, Lugosembronn was warmly received by Davos and hosted a banquet. He soon became the elder of Dionia, and he became the youngest elder in the Senate. (I was only 27 years old then, and I am only 31 now).

The weak and unconvincing former King Downey has always been quiet and self-disciplined since he joined Dionia, and he is not too keen on politics. Attending the regular meetings of the Senate has always been a routine matter, rarely speaking and arguing, but instead. He devoted all his energy to the sport of football. Not only did he practice regularly, but he also spent money to set up a team to participate in football matches in the Turui region, so he was dubbed the “football veteran” by the Turui people.

It was rare for him to receive such attention in the Senate, and he was inevitably a little nervous, and he said in a murmur, “You…you don’t have to worry about Downey, because…because not many

Downeys escaped back then.”

It is a fact that it took the shortest time to conquer Downey in the Apulia region, and only fought a battle on the Ofanto River, plus a siege of West Pentum, and then Downey. All the towns and tribes surrendered one after another. Of course, the surrender of Lugosembronn played a great role in setting an example.

After his reminder, the

elders suddenly felt more stable in their hearts.

“Once these thugs land in Apulia, I suggest that the three lords of Torrex, Apirosia, and Rugo Gimblon can be sent to Puchetti, Mesapi and Downey respectively to assist the administrator of the region. Appease the people, organize defenses…” Sedorum said his opinion aloud.

Most of the elders agreed to this proposal, Torrex and Ampiroxia did not object, only Lugosembronn was very reluctant, but in such an atmosphere, he did not dare to refute, only Accept silently.

“Since the entire Apulia region is going to prepare for the competition, is there no need to notify the Apulian towns to participate in the rugby finals this time?” Lucias asked.

“Don’t!” Torrex immediately objected, and he reminded with a serious expression: “Even if the remnants of the fleeing forces attack the Puchetti area, they will not cause panic among the people, but if they are not allowed to participate. The Rugby Finals, I’m afraid it will really cause turmoil in the entire region!”

“The same is true in the Messapi region.” The team in my town will not be allowed to be absent. I think the enemy chose to attack Apulia at this time is a wrong idea, the people will be even more angry to fight back against these thugs who spoil their appreciation of the game.”

“I heard that a long time ago.

The people of Puglia are obsessed with rugby games, it doesn’t seem to be a rumor!” Lycias sighed and retracted what he said before.

Mesapis and Puchetti are relatively fierce races. After being conquered by Dionysus, the people were still unwilling, and the Rugby Finals became the best place for them to express their indomitable and resistance, so the initial In the past few years, their players have not been proficient in football skills, and their tactics are even simpler, but relying on the tenacious spirit of not admitting defeat, they have also repeatedly staged the drama of reversing and defeating the great Greek teams in the finals. After the winning team returned to the city, the players They will be sought after by the people, which further promotes the development of rugby in the local area.

While this antagonism has ceased to exist in recent years as the Apulian population has fully integrated into Dionia, rugby has become the most popular sport in the region, even more so than Touri. Yi.

Just when some elders who didn’t know much about Apulia were curiously listening to the elders who had served as chief executives of towns and cities in this area, they whispered about the reasons why the Apulian people like rugby. Hiros asked: “Do these remnants of Apulia attack us with the support of Spartans? If so, did the Spartans also send troops to participate?”

Many elders were nervous.

Hiros said with a smile: “The rebels headed by Vadarka were able to mobilize troops in the Peloponnesian region, and they must have obtained the consent of the Spartans. However, there is no information yet that there are Spartans or other The army of the Loponnesian city-state joined it, and I think one of the most important reasons, as everyone should know, is that the Spartans are now busy fighting against the new alliance formed by Athens and Thebes.”

Vespa heard After saying this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said repeatedly: “This is good, this is good!”

Some elders in the venue joked: “Lord Weisba, don’t worry, Lord Bagule is not satisfied, I am afraid he There are still a few Spartans who want to be arrested in Udière!”

As soon as laughter broke out in the venue, Antaoris stood up and said with hatred: “Sparta is in a difficult situation now, and don’t forget to cause trouble for us. It seems that its hostile attitude to the kingdom has not changed. When we solve Carthage, we must let the Spartans know how powerful we are.”

This was agreed by the elders in unison.

At the end of the regular meeting of the Senate, Vespa did not accept Hermon’s invitation-go to the Cristoia restaurant in the city for a few drinks and chat, but went straight back to his mansion.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I met my daughter-in-law Andrea.

“Father, you’re back!” Andrea greeted her and asked with concern: “Today’s senate meeting seems to end much later than usual, you are exhausted!”

Vespa looked at

She glanced at it and said naturally: “Today there are more issues, and everyone’s debate is more intense. One of the issues has a lot to do with Bagul. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com”

“What is it?! ‘ Andrea asked immediately.

“When the kingdom conquered the Apulia region, the Mesapi, Puchetti, and Donidori who fled to the mainland of Greece had assembled an army…” Vespa didn’t hesitate to put what should have been classified as a secret. The matter was told to Andrea.

Even though the kingdom of Dionia was more tolerant towards women, it seldom allowed women to participate in politics, especially in the tradition of Lucania. More demanding, the reason for the earth-shaking changes now is that on the one hand, his sense of superiority as the leader of Lucania no longer exists, Dionia is getting stronger and stronger, and the new people in the Senate have produced him constantly. sense of crisis.

On the other hand, Andrea, as the right-hand man of the former Queen Cristoia, has been greatly exercised over the years. Bagule works abroad all year round. Many times Vespa relies on his daughter-in-law to analyze the situation for himself. , follow her advice.

After Andrea heard it, she did not show the same worry as Weisba had when she first heard it, but comforted: “Father, you don’t have to worry, since the Ministry of Military Affairs has made full preparations, your Senate has made careful preparations. There will be no trouble in Apulia, Bagul will be very safe, and I think this is a good thing, the kingdom can take the opportunity to wipe out these fugitives, so that the Apulia region can be completely stabilized. Weisba

looked at his daughter-in-law’s calm and confident face, stunned for a moment, and then murmured: “Yes, yes, you are right…”
