Chapter 111: The Voice of the People and Herney's Request

Just as Hironimus raided the Petalu tribe, the Senate held a meeting early in the morning and had a heated discussion on how to deal with the three defected veterans.

First, Sedolum raised objections: he believed that even if the three of them ran back to Bruce without reporting to the Senate, they were not sure that they were going to defect.

This statement that was obviously defending them was immediately refuted by Scomblas, Terry Toddmoth, Stromboli and others, but they really couldn't provide evidence to confirm that "Petaru and the three were traitors", and in the end the discussion turned into a quarrel.

It was not until Kosenza's messenger arrived, reported on the capture of Kadurke, and presented his subordinates and slaves to confession that Sedorum had nothing to say.

But at this time, Scomblas, Terry Todmos, Stromboli and others had been quarreled and proposed to sentence these three people to death, and said with a stern word: The "Dionian Law" stipulates that the highest punishment for treason is the death penalty. When the Dionysian League was in crisis, as the veterans of Dionys, Petalu, Kadurke and Burgam did not think about how to lead the people to defeat the enemy, but instead took the lead in inciting the people to rebel from the alliance, putting the country into a huge dilemma, and bringing huge danger to the alliance. Such traitors are not enough to calm the anger of the public, and not killing is not enough to shock those with dissent!

The Senate passed the proposal of "Bergam, Petalu, and Kadurk to be executed" with a high vote. Knowing this result, Sedolum, Bajilipi and other Brutis were worried, while Scomblas, Terry Todmos and others also began to be wary of these Brutis.

At the critical moment when the army of Syracuse was approaching, the veterans of Dionys should have worked together to overcome difficulties, but at this moment they had suspicions and barriers between each other, which made Kunogolata and Cornerus see it and anxious. However, they had no better way to do this, and they could only hope that Davers, who could eliminate the differences and unify everyone's understanding, would return soon.

………………………………

The news that "the elder Bruti led the tribe to rebel" reached the people of Turiyi, which caused an uproar.

The people just heard the bad news that "Tarantum army approached Amendorala" yesterday. The panic in their hearts had not yet dissipated. Today, they heard such bad news again. Since the war started, one bad news after another has come one after another, and finally the people can no longer maintain their surface calm. They gathered and protested loudly in front of the Senate's Grand Seminary Hall: they asked the senators to take effective measures immediately to repel the enemy as soon as possible and restore peace to Dionia.

But such a request was not so easy to achieve. When the elders of Kunogorata were in trouble to appease and calm the anger of the people, the messenger from Lukalia arrived in time.

After reading the battle report he brought, Kunogo Lataton felt relaxed. He stood on the steps in front of the Senate gate, holding up the battle report in his hand, and shouted excitedly to the noisy people under the steps: "This is the battle report from Potendia. Lord Davers has completely defeated the Samonets and is on his way back to Turiyi!"

In an instant, the noisy sound under the steps disappeared, and deafening cheers burst out.

"Mr. Davers wins!!"

"Wansheng, Dionia!!"

"I have said earlier that Hades' oracle has already shown that only Lord Davers can defeat the enemy and ensure the peace of Dionia!"

"You are right! Lord Davers is a descendant of Hades, and he has received Hades' blessing!"

...

Amid the people's cathartic cheers, a voice suddenly broke out: "Let Lord Davers be the king!"

The elders were all confused when they heard the shout.

The shouts from the people's door did not stop, but eventually merged into thunderous calls, echoing in the ears of the elders: "Take my blood as king, keep the alliance safe!!!..."

………………………………

When the Turiyi people shouted to "Davers be the king", Davers was leading his army to the Dara River Fortress.

Yesterday evening, when he entered Niutum, his chief executive Hemon told him: The Southern Italian Alliance failed to block the Syracuse army from advancing north and was forced to fight against the Syracuse people in Silitung, and eventually suffered a crushing defeat. Now, except for Crotone, Lijim, and Taorina, the city-states of the Southern Italian Alliance have fallen...

After hearing these news, Davers was very surprised. He did not expect that under the clever and flexible mobilization of Dionysius, the Syracuse army was surrounded by one after another, both fierce and vicious. He led the team to leave Turiy for less than a month, and the situation south of the Dionysian territory was so festered!

Dionysius was not simple, but he underestimated his enemy! After realizing this problem, Davers blamed himself while also rejecting Hemon's evening banquet and locked himself in the bedroom to think about the next solution for Dionyya, so that he didn't sleep well all night.

Early the next morning, he led the army to set off again. After all, Hemon told him the situation of the war two or three days ago. With Dionysius's ability and the Syracuses' advantage, it was enough to direct the war to a situation that was even more unfavorable to Dionya, so he had to lead the main force back to Turiyi as soon as possible.

Along the way, he deduced the situation in his heart and looked for a way to win.

After entering the Lahe Fortress, he stopped a little and rested for a while.

At this time, he called Henipolis and asked with concern: "Heni, are you really sure you won't come back, but you want to follow me to Turiy?"

"Sir, I have decided! Dionia is in danger now. As an ally, Laus should lend a helping hand to help Dionia defeat the powerful enemy!" Henipolis looked passionate: "I also want to send someone to notify my uncle Arobumas and send more soldiers to fight side by side with the Dionia Legion!"

Hearing this, Davers narrowed his eyes, and he knew that Henipolis was willing to go to Turiyi, and another reason: the young man was tired of living like a cage in Laus and could not make any decision.

Davers pondered for a while and said, "Okay, follow me, but you don't have to let Laus send troops anymore. After all, Trina is lost, and Laus needs enough soldiers to guard it to prevent the Syracuses from raiding the port of Laus from the sea."

As long as Davers can agree to his follower and whether to send troops again, Henipolis actually didn't care much. He said happily: "Mr. Davers, I have one more thing to ask for your permission."

"What's up?"

"I... can I serve as your wartime clerk, writing orders and collecting information..." Henipolis asked in a low voice.

"Uh? Davers looked at him in surprise: "How could you have such an idea?" The consul of a city-state actually wanted to serve as the clerk of the commander of another city-state alliance. This was too valuable. People who didn't know the inside story saw it and thought he was humiliating his allies.

"Sir, look... the last time in Poseidonia, you asked me to lead the army to intercept the escaped Samonets. When I saw those who were coming to us with a fierce face, my legs were trembling... If it weren't for Izam's help, I would have run away..." Henipolis told his embarrassing attitude without any concealment: "So now I understand... I'm different from you, you, I don't have the ability to lead the army at all. I like to read books and write things, but like my teacher Ansitanos, I read a lot of information and spend a lot of time thinking... This method is too boring.

And staying by your side, I can not only help you, but also learn more in detail how you defeated the Samones and how you will defeat the Syracuse people in the future... Such a brilliant process not only makes me want to know, the people of Dionia... no! The people of the entire Great Greece want to know! And if I write them out, it will definitely be very popular!..." The more Henepolis said, it becomes more and more excited.

Davers looked at him in surprise: This little guy wants to be a biographer!

However, Henipolis' request made him a little moved. As far as he knew in his previous life, special scholars followed him during the expedition of Alexander and wrote monographs about him; when Hannibal invaded Italy, some scholars followed him, proposing for him, saying that he was the liberator of Italy; since Caesar crossed the Rubicon River, some scholars followed him, and even continued to write "The Legend of the Spanish War" for him... So, why can't I have it?

Thinking of this, Davers smiled and said, "Herney, I agree to you as my wartime clerk--"

"Great, thank you sir!" Davers just agreed, and Henepolis immediately shouted with dancing and roaring.

"Don't be too happy too early, I still have requirements. If you want to write a book about me in the future, the content must be reviewed by me, and I agree that you can publish it when the book is published publicly. Can you agree?!" Davers said with a serious face.

"Yes, yes." Henipolis nodded repeatedly.

"And...you serve as my clerk, who will take care of your Lausian troops?"

"Ariandos, he is usually managing the army." When Henipolis said this, a person's image immediately emerged in Davers' mind: Ariandos was Avinogis' right-hand man and had good military capabilities. He led the Lausian army to march and camp along the way, in an orderly manner, and it was obvious that he was loyal to Henipolis.
