Listening to the shouts of the audience, Davers turned to look at Kunogorata and Cornerus. And these patriarchs also looked at Davers, and no one spoke first......

However, the shouts in the square grew louder and louder, making Cuno Gorata and Cornerus feel that the entire platform was shaking.

At this time, Davers said: "This is the cry of the people of Dionia!" ”

The senators understood that this was a sign that Davers had no intention of resigning the people's request, just as he had not postponed the people's request to be a consul for life in Amendora. With a little disappointment, after a short period of confirmation among the elders of Kunogorata and Kunogorata, all the elders stepped forward together, and Kunokorata walked in the front, he looked at Davers with a complicated expression, and said with a slight mockery: "Congratulations, Lord Davos!" ”

Davers didn't avoid his gaze and smiled.

Kunograta grabbed Davers' right hand and held it high.

The shouts in the square rang out, and both the people and the soldiers stared intently at the platform, hoping for that sacred moment.

"After the strong demand and election of the people of Ionia, the Senate, after careful consideration, has decided to respond to your call and pass a new law, and now I declare—" Kunogorata looked down at the dense crowd of people in the square, suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, and said in a loud voice: "The consul Davers has become the king of the Union of Dionian city-states!" ”

The square was full of thunder......

The captain of the First Legion, Zantiparis, looked at Davers, who was calmly holding his right hand high on the platform, and couldn't help but recall the young mercenary leader who was a sensation at the all-army conference six years ago, and was still a little young, and it only took six years for him to change from an obscure lowly mercenary to the king of a powerful alliance of city-states in the Western Mediterranean, Hades really favored this Greek too much!

The two captains of the Legions, Antonios and Amyntas, as well as the soldiers of the First and Second Legions, who had fought with Davers from Persia to the present day, cheered wildly, and they witnessed the growth of Davers from an ordinary mercenary to the king of a powerful alliance of city-states in the Western Mediterranean today.

At this moment, the vast majority of people cheered with excitement that the alliance had a king and no longer worried and confused, and a very small number of people fell into a lost ......

Davers's heart was also surging, and he even felt as if he was in a dream: King, this is it?!

An irrepressible smile filled his face, he didn't even care that his hand was pinched a little painfully by Kunogorata, and the long-awaited goal was successfully achieved, and he didn't allow others to vent!

Davers didn't allow himself to be too complacent, and he took a few steps forward to the edge of the platform, closer to the people of the square. When the cheers had subsided, he said in a sincere voice: "Citizens of Dionia! Citizens of Dionia! Thank you for believing in me!

We all know that the Greeks hate kingship, because the king has supreme power, is above the law, and can oppress and bully the people of the city-state at will, but I am the king elected by you, and my power is given by you, so I, the king, will not regard the laws of the alliance as nothing, and I am not a king on the high, but the king of the people, a king who must obey the laws of the alliance like you! I'm here to make a pact with you......"

Davers slowly raised his right hand, palm outward, and said with great caution: "As the king of Dionia, I will promise to do the following. First, it is necessary to ensure the security of the territory and the people of the alliance from bullying and aggression by external forces; Second, it is necessary to ensure that the lives of citizens are improved so that they do not fall into poverty; Third, I must ensure the normal operation of the laws of the alliance and not interfere with the law, even if I violate the law, I will also be punished by the law.

Hades, if one day I don't try to maintain any of these three guarantees, then please don't have to look after me! And you, the people of the League, no longer have to embrace me as king, this is the promise that I, Davers, have made as king! ”

At this moment, the soldiers and people in the square were moved by Davers's sincere words, and they no longer just chose Davers as a spiritual comfort and a way to obtain Hades's protection, but truly accepted the fact that Davers was king.

"King Davers wins!! ......" The tsunami-like cheers of the mountains were long-lasting, expressing their mood at the moment.

Even the senators such as Kunograta and Cornerus let go of their worries and frustrations, and it was beyond their expectation that Davers still made such a promise when he obtained the greatest power in the alliance, and it also made them feel that maybe the decision they made was not wrong, and the new king of Dionia they proposed would be the most unusual king in the entire Mediterranean country!

……………………………………

In the afternoon, Kunogorata and Cornelus left the city of Turiyi and came to the barracks to the north.

The camp, which had been empty, was already overcrowded.

After being elected king of Dionia, Davers did not celebrate, nor did he stay with the Senate to discuss the follow-up, but on the grounds that the current situation was tense and should be mainly military, he really led the First and Second Legions out of the lively and comfortable city and into the humble and lonely barracks. Not only did the soldiers not return home, but neither did Davers, even though his mansion was not far from the Senate, even though his beloved wife had just given birth. The young Davers's strong self-control and endurance made Kunogorata, who has been in politics for a long time and has read countless people, also amazed: no wonder he can achieve this career!

After obtaining permission from the camp guards, the two walked straight to the center of the camp.

The soldiers chatting on both sides of the passage would greet them in a friendly manner, after all, the soldiers of the First and Second Legions were citizens of Turii and Amendolara, and they were very familiar with and respected these two veterans who had made great contributions to the two cities.

"You can see that they are all relaxed!" Cornerus said as he nodded back to the soldiers.

"After all, they are the strongest troops in Dionia, and they also have the most powerful commander in all of Greater Greece, if they are all nervous, the alliance will be really dangerous." Kunograta said calmly.

"You're right." Cornerus exclaimed, "It's all up to Davers! But I have to blame him......"

Kunogorata was stunned.

"Six years ago, when I was locked up in the temple of Zeus and prayed to the gods, I never imagined that one day Amendolara and this alliance would become the enemy that the overlord of the Western Mediterranean, Syracuse, was bent on destroying. ”

This Cornerus, who only knows how to do things, actually made a joke, which shows how much Davers's return has affected everyone's morale. Kunograta can't help but wonder: if the alliance does defeat Syracuse this time, what will happen to Dionia's future development?!

Mersis came up to him, he looked depressed, and when he saw Kunograta and them, he only nodded and said hello, and had no interest in speaking.

Kunograta could guess the reason why Mersis was so rude: after Davers returned with his army, in order to fulfill his promise, if he wanted to repel a strong enemy and restore the peace of Dionia, he had to gather more troops, which meant that the input of the treasury and the consumption of food must be increased.

Even Kunogorata and Cornerus couldn't help but worry deeply: there was nothing wrong with recruiting more troops to repel the enemy. But what will happen to the alliance that is short of labor and depleted of resources if the war drags on for a long time?

Then, they saw several weapon merchants led by Tios approaching them, and they also looked solemn, but when they saw the two elders, they still saluted respectfully.

"Theos, what weapon did Master Davers ask you to make?" Kunograta recognized him, because he was mainly responsible for the replacement of the equipment of the entire Dionian army, and although a large amount of the equipment was traded-in, he also made a lot of money from it, and will continue to make it, because new citizens may buy new legion weapons and equipment in his weapon shop. However, he was clever enough to donate part of the money he earned to public buildings in Dionia, which not only made him a citizen of Dionya quickly, but also won the favor of many elders and most of the people.

For this reason, Kunogorata asked casually, but Tios looked embarrassed: "My lord, Davers ...... King Davers told us to keep it a secret, or else—" He made a throat-slitting motion, and the two senators felt a pang in their hearts.

Cornerus hesitated and asked, "That should be a lot of money, right?" ”

Theos and the other two merchants were even more bitter: "King Davers asked us to advance the money first. ”

Hearing this, the two patriarchs were relieved: fortunately, Davers still kept a clear head and did not use military force.

Seeing the two merchants leave, Cornaros hesitantly reminded: "Lord Davers has become the king of Dionia, do we call him...... Should it be changed? ”

Kunograta was stunned: Yes, even these businessmen have changed their names obediently, as the senators of the Senate, they still call 'Master Davers', this is not clear to tell others, they do not want to recognize the newly promulgated law?
