Polyxis's words echoed the concerns of most senators. The patriarchs who were born Turii and Amendolara, including Kunogorata, all of whom had suffered the destruction of the city, had a deep fear of war. Anta Orris, Eurikpus, and Preades of Crimesa supported their decision because they were new to the city and were closer to Cornerus and Cuno Gorata.

Since the elders of the main battle faction were not sent by Davers to other cities to hold important positions, such as Shiros, Sesta, Butler, etc.; It was to follow him to Tarantum, like Capus, Dracos, Antonios, Alexis, etc.

Only the military officer Phellisius and the commercial officer Marigi decisively stated that the Siru tribe should be supported, the annexation of Cosenza should be stopped, and the Bruti tribal alliance should not be allowed to become stronger.

Even Mersis, another of Davers's henchmen, wavered for fear of the outbreak of war and the consumption of a lot of money and materials.

However, Vesba and Hermon, who were born in Lucania, expressed their support for the Xilu tribe based on similar experiences at the beginning.

In general, there were few supporters of the Silu tribe, and most of the senators were opposed to interfering in the internal affairs of the Bruti so as not to provoke war.

Polyxis was complacent that his opinion had for the first time in the Senate with the support of the majority, and was about to be adopted.

At this time, Plesinas stood up: "Ladies and gentlemen, I remember that Master Davers briefly mentioned the matter of Bruti before leaving, and he said worriedly, 'Bruti may become a great danger to our Dionia!'" ’。 Therefore, I think any decision involving Bruti must be made known to Lord Davers, the consul, and he will make the final decision, especially if we cannot reach an agreement. ”

As the chief priest of the temple of Hades, Plesinus devoted most of his energy to the affairs of the temple, training young priests and holy women, perfecting the temple's institutions, and supervising the construction of temples in other cities...... It can be seen that Davers, who served as the high priest, valued him very much and let him do it, and Plesinas also repaid Davers's trust with an outstanding performance, and Hades's faith was accepted by the people of other cities in Dionya in such a short period of time, which was inseparable from his efforts. As a result, he not only had a certain prestige among the Dionian populace, but also had the weight of his words in the Senate.

As soon as he spoke, the others had to re-weigh what he really meant, after all, there was Davers standing behind him.

Philicus and Mersis are also Davers' henchmen, but one of them is focused on military affairs and the other is obsessed with money, and they are not too politically sensitive. Mariji was no stranger to politics, but he was a citizen of Persian origin, and when Davos was not in the Senate, most of the patriarchs of Turiyi and Amendolara tended to ignore his opinions, consciously or unconsciously.

Polyxis thought that Plesinus was deliberately destroying his good deeds, and for a moment he couldn't help but stand up again, and said angrily: "Davers! Davers!! Wouldn't it be possible for the Senate to decide and do nothing without Davers!! ”

Plesinus pretended to be surprised and said, "Lord Polyxis, in your eyes, are we not doing anything?!" Mistress Kunogorata and Mistress Cornerus exhaust their energy every day for the prosperity and stability of Turiyi and Amendolara! Lord Bulks traveled to the cities and villages of Dionya to supervise the cultivation of the fields! Lord Wesbah and Hermon pay close attention to the situation of the tribes in the Lucania region, and go to resolve their conflicts at any time! Lord Strompori has created a silver coin of our own alliance for Dionia, comparable to the 'owl'! Master Ansitanos is creating new schools for the various cities of Dionia! Lord Herps is said to be calling on the city-states of Greater Greece to hold the first medical seminar in Greece! Every once in a while, Lord Protsylaus proposes new bills to perfect the laws of Dionia! The Coalition's Public Office Management Committee, headed by Lord Trito Demoss, is concerned about the appointment and performance of each city official every day! Lord Enanilus oversees the construction of warships and works hard to train the navy! Master Scombras ......"

Plesinas saluted respectfully to the senator whenever he told him about his work, and the senator whose name was mentioned would also smile in response, and he said unhurriedly, almost repeating most of the senators: "The reason why we have so many things to do and enjoy enjoying it is because of the genius leadership of Lord Davers, which will make us have the powerful Dionya today, so that we can govern the increasingly large alliance territory without worrying about being invaded by other city-states!" Who among us could have better military prowess than Lord Davers? Have better leadership skills? Have a stronger sense of situation? ……”

"No one!" Although it was only Mersis alone's answer, all the patriarchs were silent, more or less agreeing with this sentence in their hearts.

"In that case, in the event of such a major matter concerning the security of the Ionian Alliance, even if Lord Davers is not there, we should listen to his opinion before making a decision. Because no one can make the right judgment better than him! Plesinus's words left a very small group of senators, mainly Polyxis, who were dissatisfied with Davers's excessive control over the Senate. Indeed, there is nothing wrong with the decisions that Davers has made so far, and it is possible for Dionia to develop so quickly.

At this time, Kunograta came forward in support of the proposal to "leave the question of the Siru tribe to the decision of Davers".

The senators of Amendolara, led by Cornerus, and the senators of Turiyi, Ansitanos, Burkos, Enanilus, Masisacus, ...... also agreed, and the matter was decided.

After the meeting was adjourned, Plecinas and Herps walked out of the hall together, and the two were deliberating about whether some of the Hades believers, freedmen and Gentiles, who had no money for treatment, could be treated in a hospital first, and then advanced by the Hades Temple's newly established relief fund (which was also donated by the Dionians when they came to the temple to pray).

"Lord Priest!" Plecinas heard someone calling him, and when he looked back, Mariji hurried to catch up: "If it weren't for you just now, I'm afraid the Xilu tribe's request for help would have been rejected!" ”

After two years of training in specific government affairs, Plesinas has a much more mature and stable mind than before, and immediately said modestly: "I didn't actually do anything, mainly because the prestige of Master Davers played a major role, don't look at Polyxis screaming loudly, his persuasion ability is actually very average." ”

"yes, Polyxis has been very active lately!" Mariji said meaningfully.

"Don't worry, he won't be able to do anything." Plesinas replied immediately.

"This Polyxis is so annoying, why did he get him into the Senate in the first place?!" Phelps, who didn't care much about medicine and didn't care much about politics, chimed in.

Plesinas coughed dryly.

In order to pacify and stabilize the people of Turiy, and also to attract useful talents, Davers recruited the prestigious, high-status, and talented people who survived the burning of the city into the Senate, including Plesinas who had opposed Davers. This method proved to be effective, and not only did the people of Turi quickly accept the Amendolars, led by Davos, but also did tap into a number of talents, such as Burkos, Plesinas, Ansitanos, and the naval commander Enganilus......

Plesinas' thoughtless words made Plesinas a little embarrassed, and Marigi stepped forward to clear the siege: "Lord Pherisius is going to hold a banquet tonight, is Lord Plesinas interested in attending?" ”

Plesinas's eyes lit up, he knew that although he was valued by Davers, Davers trusted the elders and citizens of the former mercenaries who had been born and died with him, and these people were relatively united, and they were the most powerful political force in Dionia, especially militarily. Does inviting yourself now mean that you are recognized by the group?

………………………

The next day, when Davers, Diomilas, Eumacas, Trifias, and Tud Pres were discussing the army's next plan of action, a disagreement arose again.

Trifias believed that although the coalition forces had won the "victory" in this battle, the soldiers had suffered heavy casualties, and it was not appropriate to continue the attack, but should withdraw to the city for repairs, and wait for the Meppu coalition to invade again.

Theomyras was inwardly inclined to this opinion, but as the commander of this Tarantum army, the citizen soldiers suffered so many casualties and few results. When the people know what is going on, they will pour out their anger on him. A decent record was necessary to avoid impeachment by the Citizens' Assembly, so he suggested that he take a break and continue north to attack Brindisi. If the Mapu coalition stops them, then engage them in battle. This time it was a battle on the plains, and the Greek heavy infantry and the Greek phalanx came into play, and the cavalry of the Mep coalition had already suffered heavy losses before, so the Greek coalition was sure to have the upper hand in this battle, although it was small in numbers. If the Meppu coalition avoids the battle, then capture Brindisi, rescue the captive Tarantum people, obtain the spoils of war, capture the natives in the city, take them back to Tarantum, and turn them into slaves, so as to curry favor with the people and make amends.

Umacus had similar thoughts, but Tudpres explicitly supported Trifias's opinion this time because of the high number of casualties among Metapontum's soldiers.
