Davers took out a roll of sandpaper from his bosom and sneered, "The Turiyi are really forgetful! Good thing I still have one here! So saying, he handed the scroll over, and the senators passed it to each other, and sure enough, it was written the promise of Davers to give freedom to the slaves, and the signature of Bulkos as a witness, and the signatures of the two generals Kunogorata and Neosis Touri.

At that time, in order to keep the mercenaries from leaving the Xubari Plain and stick to the camp, the generals of Turiyi tried their best to agree to any conditions. Judging from their experience, it may be difficult for the mercenaries to hold out for a long time, and if they can consume a little more Lucanians, they will consume a little more, and more than 2,000 slaves will be treated as meat buns and dogs, but they did not expect the mercenaries to dare to take the initiative to attack the enemy, and they won.

Now that Neonses, who is known for his careful calculations, is in power, he is certainly not willing to turn these more than 1,000 slaves into free people. The key point is that if these slaves are converted into freemen, what about the other miner slaves? They will definitely have an idea, and don't forget that there are eight or nine thousand slaves in these mines, and if there is a commotion, with the current number of citizens of Turiyi, I am afraid it will be very difficult to deal with. Not to mention the fact that there are a group of freedmen on the other side of the port who still dispute the issue of citizenship over Turii.

So when the scroll of paper reached Plesinas, he didn't look at it, but tore it to pieces with both hands: "It's a fake!" It's fake! ”

This rogue and arrogant act immediately angered everyone present, and the hot-tempered Scombras was the first to rush over, grabbed Plesinas, and directly punched him, and scolded in his mouth: "I told you to tear!" I told you to tear! The untrustworthy Turiyi! It's time for the Turri's to go to hell! ”

One punch, two punches...... If it weren't for the timely pulling away of Scombras, Plesinas would have been delirious, and at this moment he cried out in fear: "Murder! Kill! Is Amendolara going to war with Turiyi?!! ”

"Cast him out of Amendolala! Don't forget, stuff him with all the silver coins that were due to him for the redemption of the mining slaves who fled to Amendolara, lest Turii say that we have stolen their property. Davers said in disgust.

"Yes!" Mersis replied with a bitter face: "However, maybe the money is not enough. ”

Davers thought for a moment and said, "Then write an IOU in the name of the Senate of Amendolala, and pay it back when we have the money." ”

"However, in this way, the other slaves who participated in the war will probably run away to Amendolala!" Cornerus reminded.

"Then let them come. They helped us win the war against the Lucanians, paying with their blood and lives, and the just Hades are on top, and they hope that we will fulfill the oath we have made to him. Davers said solemnly.

"That's a bargain, the Turiyi!" Mersis said angrily.

"Breaking the oath made to the gods, the punishment of the gods will always bring." Davers said lightly, turned back to Aristocrates, who was shocked by the scene just now, and said, "Now that you are free, you can go wherever you want." ”

Aristocratic didn't expect the result they wanted to come so quickly, and his whole body trembled with excitement: "Thank you, sir!" We...... Willing to stay in Amendolara...... Moreover...... I am personally willing to repay Amendolara for the money he paid to give us freedom! ”

Davers looked at him, saw him speak sincerely, and nodded appreciatively: "Good! ”

When Plesinas returned to Turiyi, he naturally publicized Amendolara's "evil deeds" in an attempt to arouse the anger of the people.

Amendora, of course, also had a response, and they spread the news of what had happened that day in the Senate among the people of Turii through the mouths of the Turii patients who came to Amendolara to see him.

For a time, the people of Turii could not distinguish between the truth and falsehood of the two versions of the story.

But the Turii City Hall quickly took action, and they strongly demanded that Amendolara immediately return the fugitive slaves, otherwise it would be Amendolara breaking the covenant, and Turii would not sit idly by.

The Senate of Amendolara refused, reminding the Turii to fulfill their promise to grant freedom to the benefactors of the Turii, the war slaves.

Turii then announced that the people of the city were forbidden to go to Amendora. Out-of-town merchants who went to Amendora were subject to heavy taxes when they came to Turiyi to trade.

Since the storage base of Amendolara has not been built, there are almost no merchants who go to Amendolara, but there are many foreign patients, which has little impact on the already negligible trade of Amendolara. Amendolara took action anyway, arranging the military training of the citizen soldiers on the banks of the Saraceno River, making a huge splash that made the Turii people and slaves who were farming in the plains of Shubari nervous.

The Turii City Hall took no further action other than to protest to Amendolarati, and the two sides suddenly remained silent.

For Davers, he did not want to have a bad relationship with Turii, but when things came to this, he had to make a choice: choosing Turii, which would be beneficial to his future plan to attack Lucania, had to destroy his previous promise; Choosing to free the slaves fulfills his promise, but it threatens to jeopardize the alliance with Turiyi. Davos believed that the alliance with Turii had been broken and could be remedied in the future, but if the promise was broken, it would be difficult to erase the bad impression left on the Great Greeks, even if the promise was only for slaves. Sticking to Cigna is about his integrity, and it's about Amendolara's integrity. Because many of the new laws that Amendolara is now enacting rely on the trust of the people and outsiders to be realized, and to make them believe that Amendolara will keep his promises no matter what, so this is the foundation of Amendolara's state!

And just when the relationship between Amendolara and Turriy was at a stalemate, a guest came to the city of Turii - an emissary from Crotone.

…………………………

At the end of June, the Amendora Senate met to discuss a selection of athletes to compete in the Isthmus of the following summer at the Olympia Games, one of the four Panhellenic World Events, not as old as the Olympia Games, but also in the spotlight, and Davers and the Senate wanted the athletes to show the Greek city-states the flair of the new Amendora.

Davers even considered going to Corinth with the selected athletes (because Corinthian was the site of the Isthmus Games). In his previous life, he had no money or time to watch the Olympics live, but in this era, he can enjoy the most authentic classical games as a guest of honor.

Just as the senators were happily discussing how to hold this tryout, a shocking news came: something big had happened in the city of Turii!

It turned out that the messenger of Crotone had come to Turii to ask for his sin. He claimed that Turii had previously built the city on the site of Sybaris, in violation of the agreement he had signed with Crotone.

Neosis and they quickly explained: because the Lucanians were attacking, Turiyi had no choice but to let the mercenaries temporarily set up a camp there, which was quickly withdrawn......

However, the Crotone emissary refused to accept this reason, insisting that Turij had violated the agreement and that compensation must be made for such an act if it did not want to cause serious consequences for relations between the two countries. In fact, the real reason why the envoy asked Turi was that after Crotone ended the war with the Brutians, his treasury consumed a lot of money and materials, and someone in the council of the city-state made such a suggestion, and the strength of Turi was greatly weakened at this time, so the Crotone people thought that Turi should not risk offending the powerful state of Crotone, veto Crotone's demand, and at most there would be a dispute over the amount of compensation, but then it could be bargained. So the Crotone emissary drew up a huge list of reparations.

When the generals of Turriy saw this list, they immediately understood: Crotone was not here to ask for guilt, but to blackmail!

Suddenly, the generals shouted, especially after Neoses became the chief general, although he looked at the problem more comprehensively, but his calculating nature did not change, he did not hesitate to have a stiff relationship with Amendolara, and he did not want to let thousands of city-state slaves become free people, and naturally he did not want to accept Crotone's blackmail. He then said to the messenger: "The Council of Turriy needs to discuss this matter collectively before it can give an answer to Crotone. ”

As soon as the messenger had left, he asked Plesinus to secretly inform the people of the matter and incite them to protest at the messenger's hotel. The purpose of Neosis was: first, to make the envoy see the anger and determination of the Tuturi people, and to create conditions for the next negotiations; Second, even if a compensation agreement is signed in the future, it will allow the population to reduce the blame for the town hall.

Neosis had a very good calculation, but he never expected that the people of Turij would become even more crazy and irrational after the expulsion of Kunogorata last time, not to mention that under the drive of people with intentions, it was not at all under the control of Plesinas.

These well-intentioned people are the descendants of the Sybaris people. A hundred years ago, Crotone defeated Sybaris and tore apart the city of Sybaris, and the dispossessed Syrians rebuilt the city a few years later, quickly regaining its prosperity. When Crotone found out, he again sent troops to capture Sybaris and completely destroy the city. The exiled Syrians had no choice but to ask for help from the Greek city-states, and Pericles of Athens responded to their request and called on all Greeks to rebuild Syria. So the Athenian elite and immigrants from all over the country flocked to the city and built the Turiyi on the plain of Chaubari. Soon after, however, there was a conflict between the Cybaris and the Athens and other immigrants, as the Cybaris wanted to make the Turii the Turii, which of course was not accepted by the other immigrants, and the bloodshed eventually ensued, and the Cybaris were expelled. However, after all, the people of Xubaris were the local snakes, so a few people stayed in secret. In the hearts of these people, Crotone is the enemy of life and death who destroyed their homeland and reduced them to such a situation, and they pass on this hatred, and when the opportunity arises, how can the descendants of the Cybaris let it go.

A thousand frenzied crowds could not be stopped by a few soldiers, who rushed into the hotel and beat the messenger of Crotone, who was already dead when Neonsis heard the news and arrived with a large guard of the guard.
