Chapter 53 Election of District Chief Executives (7)

But there was no clue in Davers' calm face.

Just as some veterans were considering whether to support Tolex, another person stood up: "The person I recommend is Antrapolis!"

There was a huge commotion in the venue, which surprised them both by the recommender and by the recommended person.

Antonios, formerly the wartime governor of Doni and the newly appointed Chief Executive of the western Sicily region, was once deposed for a while because of the Raodisian incident, but his rise was also very fast and his influence in the kingdom's politics was still huge.

Antrapolis, a veteran who turned from an intelligence department to a political arena, made many veterans stay away from him because of this special identity.

"Mr. Antrapolis, responded to His Majesty's call and resolutely headed to the Latinum area..." Antonios's tone was somewhat familiar, which made Lucias subconsciously look at Davers again.

"...After assisting Ascesters in stabilizing the order in Rome, Lord Antrapolis resolutely volunteered to His Majesty to serve as the Chief Executive of the City of Satneycomb. What a brave act! You all should know that there was a plague in the city of Satneycomb during the war. It was less than half a year since Antrapolis bravely took on the burden of rebuilding the City of Satneycomb. He was not afraid of the danger of infection with the plague. In the past 20 years of the kingdom, which veteran has done such a crazy but admirable thing! Only Antrapolis!

Five years have passed, and under his governance, Satneycomb not only rebuilt, but also flourished more than before! So I think Lord Antrapolis is the most qualified to become the Chief Executive of the Doney Region!"

Antonios finished speaking with great emotion. The venue, which had been talking continuously, suddenly had a moment of tranquility. Then, the priest of Hades's scepter, Presinas, began to applaud, and gradually the audience burst into applause.

Antrapolis had to stand up with a humble look on his face and salute to express his gratitude to the surroundings.

Antonios looked at the elders applauding around him and sneered in his heart: Maybe some of you would think that the reason I recommended Antrapolis was because when I conquered Syracuse, I received the help of Antrapolis, and now I am repaying his love... You are wrong, I am just executing Your Majesty's orders. A group of fools really took what His Majesty said, "You will decide this time, and I will not interfere...", and in fact, he has been controlling the entire election from morning to now, but he has not used Marigi and Presinas as you know...

As he thought about it, Antonios couldn't help but look at Davers, but after touching Davers' deep gaze, he quickly moved away. To be honest, if he had admired Davers's command ability and long-term gaze in the past few years, he had been completely intimidated by His Majesty's terrible political control.

But Antrapolis was thinking about what his brother Aristillas said to him a few days ago: "You don't have to worry that no one supports you when the election is recommended. Your Majesty will not forget those who have made great contributions to the kingdom in the most difficult times. He will never let these important positions be occupied by those who do not work hard at critical moments and come to pick apples afterwards..."

My brother is right, I have a great chance of becoming the Chief Executive of the Doni Region!...Antrapolis was ecstatic. He had decided to accept Antonios's love and completely erase the incident of "he slapped him in the face".

As it turns out, with Davers' secret support, the election will be very smooth.

Antrapolis was elected with a high vote. When he had to stand up again and salute the elders, he felt very moved: From today on, he is no longer the newcomer who has just entered politics and is despised, but an important official in the kingdom! In order to achieve the goal he made at the beginning, he worked tirelessly and even took risks several times, and finally got what he wanted!

"The next thing to choose is the Pucheti area!"

"Mr. Ansitanos!" The name shouted from the etiquette officer shocked everyone and was curious: this famous scholar in the kingdom and a respected foreign minister, who usually focuses on foreign affairs and academic research, and rarely has close contacts with other veterans. Who would he recommend?

"I recommend Apirosia." Ansitanos stood up, said slowly, and then kept silent.

The reason why Apirosia was able to become the leader of the Mesapi Elders was not only because he surrendered to Dionia the first time, but also because he was indeed capable, brave in doing things, and good at judging the situation. The Senate's evaluation of his political achievements was above good, but more importantly, he also had a good son-in-law - Heniporis, the Clerk of the Court.

Henipolis joined Dionia with a dowry (Laos). It is said that his development prospects in the kingdom's political arena should be very good. As a result, he chose the inconspicuous position of the court clerk. He worked for more than ten years and did not like to interact with other veterans, except for his former subordinate, Ariandos. But none of the veterans dared to underestimate him because he was King Davers's confidant, and was said to be someone who could joke in front of His Majesty the King who was sitting in the center of the venue.

Although Henipolis did not give much help to his father-in-law, this relative relationship alone made Apirosia more prestige in the Senate. Except for the stubborn Prigules, other Mesapi elders were willing to take him as the leader. The person who could invite Ansitanos to recommend Apirosia was naturally his student Henipolis.

When Henipolis, who was sitting in the venue, felt Davers' gaze projecting, he shrugged helplessly and said in his heart: If this damn old man had not touched his wife, muttered in my ear every day, I was so annoyed that I wouldn't want to do this! You must know that in order to invite Teacher Ansitanos, I promised him that I would collect a lot of precious historical materials for him next.

There are several veterans competing for the Chief Executive of the Pucheti region, and they are not weak in strength. However, the recommender of Apirosia is too special.

Ansitanos really did not form cliques, but he was a good person and had a high reputation. He had a good relationship with mercenary veterans, Vesba, Hmön, Lucias, Sedorum and others who had joined the kingdom very early. Everyone was naturally willing to give him a face without conflict of interest.
