After repeated requests to no avail, the Laos tore off their disguised masks and brazenly launched an attack on the fortress of the Lahe River.

The fortress of the Naira River was located in a narrow section of the river bank and the mountains, and Laos could not take advantage of the large number of troops. And Tagru led more than 200 soldiers to defend stubbornly with small but strong fortresses.

After a bloody battle until the afternoon, Laos's army was still unable to storm the fortress. After receiving the request for help from the Lahe fortress, the governor of Niutum, Hmong, led by Hemeng, the governor of Niutum, and urgently summoned nearly 2,000 citizen soldiers to reinforce the army in time.

Seeing that the other party was strong, the Laos slowly retreated......

…………………………………

At this time, the flames of Dionya were everywhere, and the dark clouds of war were gathering thicker, and the people of Turiyi were truly afraid, and they often gathered in two places: one was the temple of Hades, hoping to be blessed by the powerful Hades and to comfort their uneasy feelings; The other is the square in front of the Senate.

Once again, the populace appealed to the Senate to let the consul Davers be king, because only in this way could Dionya survive this difficult situation, which Hades had already foreseen!

This time the uproar was much louder than the previous two days, and the senators in the Senate were already panicked by the constant reports of bad conditions, and the protests of the people made them even more unsure of what to do.

"Plesinus, look what you've done! Hurry up and stop your tricks, let the people of Turii restore calm, and let Dionya restore order, otherwise the Senate will not function normally at all, and everything will be in chaos! "Kunograta finally couldn't help but get angry at Plescinas.

"Master Kunogorata, be careful what you say, this is the oracle of the god Hades, it is the spontaneous appeal of the people, and it has nothing to do with me! Instead of arguing with me here, you should think about how to meet the needs of the people and calm their anger! Priest Plesinus, the head priest of the Temple of Hades, retorted resolutely.

"My lords, it's not a big deal to have Lord Davers as king. Isn't the position and role that Davers has assumed in the past few years the power of a king? That's just a lack of a name. Don't you hope that Lord Davers will come back sooner to help us defeat the powerful enemy and save the Alliance?! In fact, since the establishment of the Alliance, Master Davers has been our greatest support and that of the people outside! Now that the brutal Syracuse is approaching us, they want to make the alliance a second Siriting, and let us suffer the same suffering as the people of Siriting, and Lord Davers, who has the blessing of Hades, is our only reliance, what are you waiting for! Mariji's seductive words shook everyone's hearts.

Just when some of the elders were thoughtful and others wanted to refute, the door of the venue was pushed open, and the captain of the guard ran in with an incredible excitement on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, Turi...... Turi is alive! Turi is alive! ”

"What are you talking about...... Is Turry alive? Let's be clear! Scombras shouted dissatisfied.

Kunogorata took a few steps forward and asked in the same disbelief, "You mean that Turi fountain is starting to come out again?!" ”

"Yes, my lord! Just as the crowd was shouting, 'Let Master Davers be king,' the Turi Fountain was resurrected, and now the water had flowed into the square! The excited captain of the guard did not forget to add: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a divine omen!" ”

The patriarchs looked at each other in shock, including Marigi, Plecinas, and Kunogorata. You must know that in this age of godliness, the Greeks valued the omen the most. When praying to the gods and worshipping the gods, coughing, windy, raining, thundering...... and so on, sudden anomalies will be regarded as divine manifestations. And what a miracle it is that the well-known Fountain of Turri, which became a waste spring after the old city of Turriy was burned down by the Crotonnes, dried up for many years, and this time began to regain its water! While most Greeks believed that the springs were under the jurisdiction of Poseidon, the god of the sea, there were others who believed that the above-ground fountain was under the control of Hades because it came from underground.

"Let's go, let's go!" Kunogorata could not hide the consternation and curiosity in his heart, and without hesitation, he took the lead out of the senate, followed by the other senators.

The people who had gathered in front of the Senate ran to the outer edge of the square on the left side of the Senate, where the Turi Fountain was located.

In the past, the people of Turiyi attached great importance to the spring water that borrowed its name as the name of the city, and built a large pool for it, and there were several vivid statues of the goddess of spring water and the nymph fairy in the pool, dressed **, splashing water and playing, provoking reverie, and it became a lively place for children to play in the water, the old people to rest and relax, the men to talk about politics, and the women and slaves to draw water. However, a fire destroyed not only the statues of the pool, but also the spring of Turri, which was rumored by the freemen to be the punishment of the gods for the treachery of the Turii.

When rebuilding the city of Turiyi, as a nostalgic nostalgia for the past, Heraclid had craftsmen build a stone wall to enclose the mouth of the spring, which looked like a well. Over the years, it has become the most inconspicuous presence in the vicinity of Victory Square.

Now, hundreds of people have surrounded it, and the people who had previously worried about the security of the Coalition are dancing with joy. Seeing Kunogorata and the other elders coming, they immediately shouted: "Come and see, honorable adults! The great Hades heard our cries and he responded! ”

"Even Hades agreed, let his descendant, our Davers, be king, what are you waiting for!"

"Let Lord Davers be king, so that we can be blessed by Hades, drive the enemy out of our homeland, and restore peace to Dionia!"

……

"Let's take a look first!" Kunograta said patiently and loudly.

The crowd quickly gave way to a passage.

Kunogorata and they stepped on the water and walked inside, only to see that the half-meter-high "stone well" had been filled with water, and the water was still gushing out of the well and flowing to Victory Square, forming a long waterway.

Kunogorata reached in, the water was bone-clear, and a strong upward force at the mouth of the spring lifted his palm.

That's right, the Turi fountain has come to life, and this can't be faked! Kunograta withdrew his hand and wiped it on his clothes.

"This spring water is so sweet!" Mariji took a sip of water and praised it loudly, causing the other elders to follow suit.

Kunogorata looked at the crystal clear water that could almost illuminate his face, and his heart was really confused: is this really the expectation of the gods?!

But the people would not give the senators much time to think, and looking at the eager eyes one by one, the senators knew that today they had to give them a clear answer.

After a short but intense deliberation, Kunogorata announced to the people on behalf of the senators: "O people of Dionia, the Senate, after deliberation, has accepted your request to elect the consul Davers ...... For the king of the Dionian League, of course, this has to ask for permission from Davers himself! ……”

Before Kunogorata could finish speaking, the crowd was already cheering: "King Davers wins!! ……”

Back in the Senate, most of the senators were a little stunned. Although Davers was a lifelong consul of Dionya, after all, he was also a senator of the Senate and was similar in status, but now he was suddenly a king, and his status was much higher than that of these senators, and this gap gave them a strong sense of loss.

Kunograta coughed dryly, and wanted to warn everyone to brace themselves and have a serious discussion on the important issue of "Davos becoming king" and how to reasonably limit his power. But before he could say anything, the captain of the guard hurried in again.

Kunogorata's heart suddenly "chuckled", and sure enough, he shouted anxiously: "My lords, some of the warships of Syracuse's fleet have docked on the coast north of Castelón, and it is said that several hundred people have landed and are preparing to carry out a sneak attack on the villages along our coast!" ”

Everyone was shocked that the scene of Crotone's fleet plundering the villages and towns of Dioonia was about to be repeated.

Fortunately, before this war, Davers, considering the absolute superiority of the Syracuse fleet, had already thought of the possibility of such a situation, and before he left, he ordered the War Department to make some deployments based on previous experience. For example, coastal observation posts were set up on the east coast of Dionia, simple defenses were built in each coastal village, and a small camp of reserve companies was set up between several villages......

Before Kunogorata could make a decision, Kapus stood up and said decisively: "I demand that I immediately lead the troops to stop these Syracusets who have come ashore, so that they do not inflict greater losses on our people!" ”

The senators had no objection to Cappus's request to fight, and in fact, he was the only one in the Senate at the moment who was familiar with the unique legion tactics of Dionya and could lead the troops into battle. At this time of the war, there were only a dozen senators left in the Senate.

"Looks like we need to recruit the freedmen again." Kunogorata's expression was heavy, at this moment the source of the Turi'i citizens was close to exhaustion, and the only way to go to the port area was to recruit the freedmen, and the number of freedmen there was not much left, except for the large number of sailors who served as sailors for the Dionian fleet and the transportation of the army's logistical baggage.

"We can also turn to Castelon for assistance." Cornerus's reminder made Kunogorata's eyes light up: That's right, Castelon still has an army!
