Hearing this, Ocliton immediately wanted to refute, but Haka raised his voice again and said sharply: "Now, the Magonides family has paid a heavy price for that war, and you Hannonites have been punished?!" At least not yet!

Especially after Esyaruba's death, you Hannonites have taken full control of the Senate, and many neutral senators have had to switch to you, just the year before last you actually called that person 'Great Hanno'! What a ridiculous thing this is! A culprit who led to the defeat of the war, a sinner who reduced the once mighty Carthage to the ordinary city-state that it is now looking up to, has the face to call himself 'great'! ”

Haka let out a contemptuous laugh, and Ocliton remained silent.

Haka looked at him and said in a deep voice, "It seems that you still have an opinion on Hanno's shameless approach. Now God has given me the right to give those who have done wrong the punishment they deserve! I said you were lucky to have met me! If my brother Hasdruba had been here, he would have killed all the patriarchs of Carthage in order to get rid of his resentment at the defeat; If Dido was here, she had always thought that the death of her father Margo, and all the people of Carthage, would not escape responsibility, and she would like to let everyone be punished! ”

At this point, Haka paused deliberately.

When Ocliton heard this, he was really worried: he didn't think Haka was scaring him, Dido and Hasdruba were important members of the Magonid family, and Ocliton certainly had a deep understanding of them, and their possible revenge on Carthage was indeed very consistent with their personalities, even if they were not in Turriyi now, one became the commander of the Dionian legion and regained the right to lead troops, and the other was the only prince and concubine of the current Dionian royal family, and gave birth to two little princes, Naturally, they would be loved by the royal family, and if they had always had a hatred for Carthage, it would be a terrible thing indeed.

"And I—" Haka said firmly, "I only ask the Carthaginian Senate to send the principal leaders of the Hannoites like Hanno and Taipanrako...... When these men and their families are expelled from Carthage, and let them also taste the pain that we endured back then, then I can guarantee that our brothers and sisters will be erased from the grudge with the Carthaginians! By the way, you are not included among these people, because Your Majesty thinks you are not bad. ”

Ocliton was not happy that he was able to escape punishment, but said with a solemn expression: "I'm sorry, the Carthaginian Senate can't expel several high-prestige senators because of your threats-"

"They will!" Haka said confidently: "When all the people of Carthage find that the attacks of the East Numibians are becoming more and more frequent, and that the Carthaginian merchants cannot enter the territory of the Kingdom of Dionya and its allies to trade, and when they know that all this is caused by the Hannonites, do you think they will collectively protest to the Senate and drive out these black sheep?" Just like when they collectively protested against our Magonid family! ”

Although the water in the pool was getting hotter and hotter, Okriton's heart was getting colder and colder, and he made a final struggle inwardly: "You...... These actions of yours are a violation of the peace agreement......"

"I didn't break it." Hakka looked at him with confidence: "As long as Carthage expells Hanno and joins the kingdom of Dionia, I can assure you that the Carthaginians will live a better life than in the past, and this is what our family wants to see!" ”

As the elder of the Carthaginian Senate who was good at diplomacy, Ocleton felt for the first time that he was so powerless that everything was out of his control, which made him feel very flustered, he lowered his head, looked at the steaming pool in front of him, and whispered: "After meeting King Davers, I will consider your suggestions." ”

Haka chuckled: "Lord Ocriton, don't you understand, Your Majesty will not meet you at all, he has already given me full authority to handle Carthage's foreign affairs. ”

Ochliton was shocked, and once again looked at Haka with a look of despair but more pleading, and he opened his mouth with difficulty, but said nothing.

Haka showed a sympathetic look and said softly: "I know that it will be difficult for you to make these decisions, but no matter how difficult it is, in order for the Carthaginians to survive better, and for your family to continue to live in that land you are familiar with, you must make a decision as soon as possible, because time waits for no one, and as soon as September passes, the north wind that represents the arrival of winter will blow......"

Ocriton's heart suddenly went cold.

Watching Ocriton leave in despair, Haka's heart felt an indescribable joy, he poured himself another glass of wine, held it high, and said sincerely: "Thank you Your Majesty for giving me a chance to take revenge!" ”

After saying that, he drank it dry.

………………………………………………

For the next two days, Ocleton tried to get the opportunity to meet King Davers through various channels, but there was no doubt that he failed. Although the celebration was about to begin, he still had the heart to stay in Turii, so he returned to Carthage by boat in a hurry, and began to secretly consult with someone to discuss countermeasures.

On September 9th, the Hades Celebration began.

People from all the towns of the kingdom crowded on both sides of the main road of the city of Turii, offering flowers and cheers to the soldiers who marched from the barracks to the north to be paraded in Victory Square, they were the outstanding soldiers and officers who had participated in many battles and made great achievements in the various regiments, fleets, and cavalry, and proudly carried the flags of their regiments, brigades, and companies to pass through the three triumphal arches of Turriyi.

The triumphal arch is carved with images of the most important battles of the Crotone War, the Southern Italian War, and the Western Mediterranean War, and also represents the three most critical moments that Dionia has experienced since its establishment: the battle for the alliance, the battle for the founding of the state, and the battle for the great power.

The procession of legionnaires passed below them, meaning that it was this powerful army of citizens that enabled Dionia to grow from weak to strong and eventually to a powerful kingdom.

Behind the army was followed by a procession of people from more than a dozen regions of the kingdom, who were very loose but more lively than the neat procession of soldiers, and their enthusiastic interaction with the people on the side of the street made the atmosphere of the celebration more lively and joyful.

The whole team of the game fluttered colorful flags and cheered continuously, until they entered Victory Square.

On the podium in front of the Senate Hall, Davers led the important ministers of the kingdom, the main senators, dressed in costumes, standing upright, smiling as the procession passed by the stage.

On the viewing platforms on both sides, the invited envoys and dignitaries of allies and friends witnessed this unprecedented grand celebration with different expressions: some genuinely rejoiced in Dionia, such as the Walsey, the Helnikians, etc.; Some were glad that they were able to join the Dionian League in time, such as the Etruscans, the Samone, etc.; Others are worried and afraid, such as the Sidisinites.

After all, when the entire procession filled Victory Square, and the square was surrounded by an equally dense crowd of spectators, the center of the city of Turiine was completely transformed into a sea of people, with seventy or eighty thousand people, more than the number of a city-state and a large race, and this was only a drop in the bucket of the huge population of the kingdom of Dionia.

The square was full of people and suffocating.

But as Davos walked to the front of the podium, silence quickly returned to the inside and outside of the square, with only the voices of Davers and the microphone echoing over the square:

"Citizens of the Kingdom of Dionia, we are gathered here today for the celebration of Hades. In the past 20 years since the establishment of Dionia, we have encountered many difficulties and setbacks, but under the protection of Hades and our concerted efforts, we have overcome one difficulty after another.

Today we can puff up our hearts and declare to the whole world that Dionia has become a powerful kingdom, that we will not be afraid of any enemy challenge, and that we will support and protect any nation and power that wants to befriend us!

The god Hades was so pleased with all the achievements of Dionya that he sent an oracle that would not only continue to bless the people of the kingdom, but also allow the name of the kingdom to be given a holy name, and that any enemy who dared to offend the kingdom would be punished and cursed by him as if he had directly violated the territory of the great god!

Citizens, thank you to the great Hades! Rejoice to the Divine Kingdom of Dionia! ”

As soon as Davers finished speaking, a tsunami of cheers erupted inside and outside the square: "Merciful Hades wins!! ”

"The Divine Kingdom of Dionia's Victory !!"

……

There was a frenzy on the faces of every citizen who raised their arms and shouted, and henceforth they were convinced that they had something to live and die on, and that they were no longer afraid of any hardships and difficulties, because they were already the people of the earth of that great god.

In a frenzied atmosphere, the officers of the patrol department who maintained order began to arrange for the gradual exit of the procession. This was followed by the beginning of large-scale theatrical performances, "The Birth of Hades", "The Establishment of Dionia...... One after another, traditional kingdom plays are staged in the square.

The actors in the square played very hard, and the audience outside the venue also watched extremely attentively, bursting into applause and cheers from time to time.

By the time the last play, The Battle of Sicily, came to an end, the sun had risen in the middle of the sky.
