Before Sedorum could finish speaking, Felicius interjected: "There is still the Ninth Legion stationed in the Apulia region, and because of His Majesty's reminder, the Ministry of Military Affairs specially let the Ninth Legion stay in Oudière, and did not follow Alexis on an expedition to the Samonai Mountains, just to prevent such a thing from happening, I believe that the Commander of the Tegetinos Legion will easily defeat the incoming enemy." ”

"I believe that our legions can easily defeat the rabble, but I fear that the return of these fugitive chieftains of Mesapi, Puchetti, and Dauni to Apulia will cause turmoil in the region, just like Bruti during the Southern Italian War." Sedorom had mixed feelings about the past: the chaos in the Bruti region gave him the opportunity to show his talents, laying the foundation for his current position as the rotating president of the Senate, but the turmoil and riots also led to the entire Bruti region being plunged into war, the population was greatly reduced, and many tribes disappeared.

"Rest assured, my lordship, that it has been almost 10 years since the Pucetti region was incorporated into the kingdom, and that the people there live freely and prosperously, and are proud of the citizens of Dionia, and it is impossible for them to be instigated by these lost dogs, whom they have long forgotten, to start a riot and return to the poor times when they were ruled and controlled by kings and chieftains, but they will cooperate with the kingdom's army to drive out these thugs who are trying to take away their happiness!"

The person who spoke was none other than Torrex, the head of the Silvim tribe in the former central town of Puchetti and the future father-in-law of Prince Adoris, and the Puchetti senators were not only headed by him, but he also had considerable prestige among the Puchetti people, so his words reassured the senators present.

Immediately afterwards, Appirosia, another important senator in Mesapi (who was also the father-in-law of the court clerk Henipolis), also stood up and said loudly: "We, Mesapi, have been incorporated into Dionya for a longer time, and I can assure you here that the people of Mesapi will only regard these former Mesapi people who have landed in Apulia as outsiders, as thugs who want to destroy their peaceful life, and the people will fully support the kingdom army to defeat them!" ”

The speeches of Patriarch Puchetti and Messapi made the eyes of the other patriarchs unconsciously focus on the other patriarch - Rugosenbron.

This veteran from Daoni is not trivial, he is the former king of Daoni, in the war of Dionya to conquer Daoni four years ago, he surrendered early in Kaesong, Lusenia, so that Alexis successfully conquered the Daoni region. In order to appease the people of Downey and stabilize the hearts of the people, Rugosenbron was warmly received by Davers, and was entertained with a banquet, and soon became the senator of Dionia, and he became the youngest senator of the Senate (he was only 27 years old at the time, and now he is only 31 years old).

After joining Dionia, the weak and unconvincing former King Dauni has always been quiet and not too keen on politics, and attending the regular meetings of the Senate has always been a routine, rarely speaking and arguing, but devoting his energy to the sport of football, not only practicing regularly, but also spending money to form a team to participate in the football matches in the Turiyi region, so he is nicknamed "Football Veteran" by the Turiyi.

It was rare for him to receive such attention in the Senate, and he was inevitably a little nervous, and said in a snort: "You guys...... You don't have to worry about Dawny, because ...... Because not many Dawneys had fled. ”

What Rugosenbron said is the truth, the conquest of Daoni in the Apulia region took the shortest, only a battle of the Ovanto River, plus a siege of West Pentum, and then the towns and tribes of Daoni surrendered one after another, of course, the surrender of Rugosenbron played a great role in this.

After his reminder, the patriarchs suddenly felt more stable in their hearts.

"Once these thugs have landed in Apulia, I suggest that the three Lords Torrex, Appirosia, and Rugozhenbron go to Puchetti, Mesapi, and Dauni respectively to assist the Governor of the region in pacifying the population and organizing the defense......s," Sedorum said aloud.

Most of the senators agreed to this proposal, and Torex and Amperosia did not object, only Rugosenbron was very reluctant, but in such an atmosphere, he did not dare to refute it, so he could only accept it silently.

"Since the whole of Apulian is going to prepare for the game, doesn't it take the cities and towns of Apulia to participate in this rugby final?" Lucias asked.

"Don't!" Torex immediately objected, and he reminded with a serious expression: "Even if those remnants of the fleeing forces attack the Puchetti area, it will not cause panic among the people, but if they are not allowed to participate in the rugby finals, I am afraid it will really cause turmoil in the entire region!" ”

"It's the same with the Mesapi region." Apirosia went on to say: "People have seen the rugby finals as a big holiday and they will never allow their town's team to be absent. I think the enemy had chosen to attack Apulia at this time, and the populace would be even more angry to fight back against the thugs who had ruined their appreciation of the game. ”

"I've heard for a long time that the people of Apulia are obsessed with rugby, but it doesn't seem to be a rumor!" Lycias sighed and retracted what she had said.

The Mesapi and Puchetti are more fierce races, after being conquered by Dionia, the people are still unwilling, and the rugby finals have become the best place for them to express their indomitability and resistance, so in the first few years, their players are not skilled in rugby, and the tactics are simpler, but relying on the tenacious spirit of not admitting defeat, they have repeatedly staged a reversal victory over the strong team of Greece in the finals, and after the winning team returns to the city, the players will be sought after by the people, which promotes the development of rugby in the local area. Although this antagonism has ceased in recent years with the full integration of the Apulian population into Dionia, rugby has become the most popular sport in the region, even more so than Turriyi.

Just as some of the senators, who did not know much about the Apulian region, listened curiously to the senators, who had served as the governors of the towns in the region, whispered about the reasons why the Apulian people liked rugby, Sedorum suddenly asked Shiros: "Do these Apulian remnants have the support of Sparta to attack us?" If so, did the Spartans also send troops to participate? ”

Many patriarchs were nervous.

Shilos said with a smile: "The rebels led by Vadalka were able to gather an army in the Peloponnese, and it must have been agreed by the Spartans. However, there is no information that Sparta or other Peloponnesian city-states have joined it, and I think one of the most important reasons, as you should know, is that the Spartans are now busy fighting against the new alliance formed by Athens and Thebes. ”

When Wesper heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said in a loud voice: "That's good, that's good!" ”

An elder in the venue joked: "Lord Weisbah, don't worry, Lord Bagul is not satisfied, I'm afraid he still wants to catch a few Spartans in Udière!" ”

As soon as laughter rang out in the hall, Antaoris stood up and said hatefully: "Sparta is in a difficult situation now, and it has not forgotten to cause trouble for us, and it seems that its hostile attitude towards the kingdom has not changed. When we settle Carthage, we must let the Spartans know that we are powerful. ”

These words were echoed by the patriarchs.

After the regular meeting of the Senate, instead of accepting Hermon's invitation to have a few drinks and chat at Christoya's restaurant in the city, Vespa went straight 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 have ended much later than usual, are you tired?" ”

Wesbah glanced at her and said naturally: "There are many topics today, and everyone's debate is more intense, and one of them has a lot to do with Bagul. ”

"What's the matter?!" Andrea asked immediately.

"When the kingdom conquered Apulia, the Mesapi, Puchetti, and Dounie Dauri who had fled to Greece had already assembled an army......," Vesbah told Andrea what should have been a secret without hesitation.

Even though the Kingdom of Dioonia is more tolerant of women, it rarely allows women to participate in politics, and the tradition of Lucania is even more so, Andrea is an alien daughter-in-law, and Veesbah was initially more demanding of her, but now the reason why there has been a drastic change is that his superiority as the leader of Lucania no longer exists, Dionya is getting stronger and stronger, and there are many new people in the Senate, which makes him constantly have a sense of crisis. On the other hand, Andrea, as the right-hand man of Queen Christoya, has been greatly trained over the years, and Bagul has been working outside the home for many years, and many times Vespa has to rely on his daughter-in-law to analyze the situation for him and follow her advice.

After hearing this, Andrea did not show the same concern as Veesba when she first heard it, but comforted her: "Father, don't worry, since the Ministry of Military Affairs has made full preparations, and your Senate has made careful arrangements, there will be no chaos in Apulia, and Bagul will be safe there, 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." ”

Wesba looked at his daughter-in-law's calm and confident face, and was stunned for a moment before muttering, "Yes, yes, you are right......"
