Chapter 36: The Opening Ceremony of the Ionian Rugby Final (3)
These self-proclaimed brave Samonai players have begun to restrain their usual brutal style since they entered the city of Turiyi, because they were shocked by this huge and prosperous city. After entering the arena, the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators were an invisible pressure, which made them a little helpless, and even their walking posture became restrained.
"Look, that's the chief of Gairney!" Maioni was surprised to find the leader of Abenirum standing in the audience standing in the audience waving and shouting from the thousands of cheering spectators.
The players responded immediately and enthusiastically, which made them feel a lot more relaxed.
As they passed the podium, they were pleasantly surprised.
"Father, look! Here's the Samonai team I was in charge of hosting! Croto KatakΓ‘quez shouted excitedly, pointing to the team walking on the track.
Before Davos could speak, Christoya, who was next to her, opened her eyes wide, and then interjected: "Your father always said that the Samonai people are not easy to mess with, and I don't think they are anything special. β
Indeed, the Samonai players, who entered the arena for the first time, appeared to shrink in front of thousands of spectators.
"O Abenirum ! ......" Davers was very clear about the origin of this team, and he said slowly: "Isn't that a good thing! β
Christoya was no ordinary woman, and she quickly understood what her husband meant, so she said, "It's a pity that there is only one Abenirum . β
"That's a good start!" Davers smiled slightly.
Agnes didn't care what her husband and Christoya were saying, she was the only one in the family who was not very interested in the game of rugby, and the reason why she was present at the opening ceremony was the needs of the people of Dionya and the children, who wanted to see the presence of the king's family at this most important celebration of the kingdom, which had almost become a common practice, and the harmony of the king's family was an example for the citizen family. The kids loved the excitement of watching the game together as a family, including her shy and introverted daughter, Avia.
"Mom is right, the Samonai are like clumsy kingdom slaves, nothing to fear. It's still our Zerias who shines the most, and he will definitely be able to score a lot of touchdowns in the finals this time! Briantes exclaimed. Zerias is the main wide receiver of the Turiyi team's offensive team, and is known for his superb receiving skills and wind speed.
"I think quarterback Sadocassius is the best, and it's because of his cool head, clever set-up, accurate passing that Zerias gets so many touchdowns."
Apox's words displeased his brother, and the two began to argue.
Cynthia patted each of her two younger brothers on the head and reminded: "Don't make any noise, you have affected other people to watch the opening ceremony, hurry up and be quiet!" β
The eldest sister's words really worked, and the two glared at each other, but sat back in place quietly.
"If Brother Adoris is still in Turiyi, he will definitely be there as a substitute for the team." Eunice pointed to the Turriyi team who were already standing in the stadium and said.
Little Avia nodded again and again, but Cynthia was stunned, and then a trace of worry appeared on her pretty face.
Davers laughed and said, "You don't know your brother Adoris yet, he would rather appear at the Triumph than at the Hades Arena." β
"I also hope to grow up to be a hero in triumph!" Briantes immediately shouted.
"Father." Crotokatus glanced at Cynthia and asked, "How is our war with the Daunes going?" β
"Since the defeat of Dawney's main force in the decisive battle of the Ofanto River, our troops have not again encountered strong resistance from the enemy. Don't worry, you'll be able to see your big brother again in two months! Davers said with a relaxed expression, and his words also brought Cynthia's smile back.
At the back of the Davers family, several elders sitting on Lucania couldn't help but sigh when they saw the Samonai team passing by the rostrum, and the already aged Wesbah couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that even the Samonai people, who are as fierce as wolves, will be tamed by our kingdom!" β
The great leader of Potentia next to him, Polet, smiled, pouted and said, "If you want to tame the evil wolf, where is it so easy!" It's nothing but Abenirom, a town that is about to be abandoned by the Samonai! β
"Abenirum was abandoned by the Samonai, why?" Hermon asked with some curiosity.
Paulette subconsciously touched his bearded cheek with his hand, where there was a long scar, which made his mind go back to the past: "Ten years ago, the Samonians invaded Portentia, and if it weren't for His Majesty's army to rescue him in time, Portendia might have ceased to exist......"
It was during the fight against the Samonai that he had a crush on the Dionys. After the Southern Italian War, he made several visits to Turiyi and persuaded Puammut to annex Portentia to Dionya as the "Free City" of his kingdom. Three years ago, Puamot gave up the position of the chief to Poulette, who had a close relationship with Dionia, on the grounds of "poor health". After taking over the affairs of the territory, Pollette also became more aware of the situation of this evil neighbor to the north.
"The Samonai suffered a crushing defeat, nearly 10,000 fighters were captured, and a force of more than 40,000 men eventually fled back with only a few thousand. As the initiator of this war, the great leader of Hilpine, the controller of Abenirum of course, had to take responsibility for this defeat, although the Samonei who fled back at that time did not know that Villani had been killed in battle, but the Hirpini people who had lost their relatives and hated Villani soon held a tribal assembly, dismissed Villani as the great leader of Villani and elected Lesguk of Beneventum as the new chief of Hilpine......
Speaking of this, Pollette sighed and said regretfully: "At that time, it is said that the four major tribes of the Samonai people cobbled together less than 10,000 warriors, and they were unable to fight again. Moreover, the Samonians heard that Dionya had captured many Samonai warriors, so they demanded an armistice and peace. Alas...... In fact, if we had to be tougher and continue to attack the mountains to the north, Hirpini would definitely be exterminated, and Putney and Cautini would never be better! β¦β¦β
"There's no way around it. At that time we were resisting the invasion of the army of Syracuse, and after the defeat of Dionysius, the treasury was almost depleted of gold, silver and food, and it was impossible to organize a large army to launch an attack on the mountains of Samonai. Veesba explained that he had another reason unspoken: after the victory of the Southern Italian War, Greater Greece and Sicily had enough land and wealth waiting for the citizens of Dionya to divide up, and even if they were too small to occupy more vacant land, how could they covet the barren mountainous region of Samonai, not to mention that once they were to attack the nest of the Samonians, even if it had been weakened a lot, the intensity of resistance and casualties encountered by the Dionian legions would definitely skyrocket, which was not what the Senate and the people expected.
Pollette probably realized this as well, he just complained casually, and continued: "After the Dioonians signed an alliance agreement with Hippine, Pentney, and Kautini, they began to release Samonai captives one after another, and you should know that Geerni, the son of Villani, the former great leader of Hilpine, was also captured by us, and his tribe was originally the great tribe of Hilpine, and its captured tribal warriors were quite a lot, and Your Majesty was the last to release them, and guess what happened?" β
"I remember that there was a violent conflict with Abenirum and that Gherni even asked us for help from Dionia, and His Majesty supported him......," Hmon recalled.
"Violent conflict?!" Pollette smiled and said: "As the initiator of that war, in order to set an example, he sent almost all the men who could fight in the entire Abenirum region to the battlefield, of course, his soldiers suffered the most casualties, and when Lesguk became the chief of Hilpine, he saw that there were many old and young women and children in the territory of Abenirum and lack of labor, and Abenirum was closest to Portentia, so he let a tribe in the south of Beneventum migrate to Abenirum And let the head of this tribe be the head of the territory of Abenirom, and the Abenirum people at that time did not strongly oppose it in order to survive.
But two years later, when Gherni returned home with the captured Abenirum warriors, conflict naturally erupted when he saw that his land was occupied by other peoples, his wife had remarried, and his children had recognized others as their fathers. The new leader of Abenirum made the wrong decision to expel Gherni and his relatives from Abenirum on the grounds that 'the Villani and his sons were waging war and bringing disaster to the tribe by the Valronids', which provoked the anger of the released Abenirum warriors, who had completely regarded Gherni as their leader during the two years of servitude in the kingdom.
Seeing that Abenirum was in danger of fighting, the new chief had to ask for the support of the great chief of Hirpine, Lesguk, who soon arrived with thousands of warriors, and Geirni, who had been in Dionya for two years and had a good relationship with us, immediately felt that the situation was not good, and turned to us for help, and His Majesty decisively sent an envoy to intervene in the dispute between Abenirum and caused Lesguk's plan to hold a tribal assembly and decide whether to expel Gherni or not. Instead, it was our messenger's proposal to elect Abenirum as a new leader was implemented, and Gherni became the leader of Abenirum ......" (https:)
