Davers even had the leisure to look at the Tuli spring on the southwest side of the square several times, it can be said that this spring that Davers had never seen before played a key role in his way to becoming king, an underground spring that had been depleted for five years suddenly regained its vitality at such a special moment, such a miraculous thing made Davers can't help but think: Is there really a god in this world?!

His gaze couldn't help but look at the white Hades temple on the hill behind the northwest side of the square......

Standing on the platform in front of the Senate Grand Chamber, overlooking the neatly arranged 1st and 2nd Legions in the square and the people standing in order on both sides of the legions, even though these Ionians were eager to know the answer, they still kept relative calm under the command of the patrols, and the habit of observing social order cultivated in the Dionian League over the years was quite effective.

Davers sighed in his heart, and then shouted loudly: "Warriors of the First and Second Legions! The Alliance owes you a debt of gratitude to you for your brave battles against the invading Samoneans in the unfamiliar mountainous terrain of rocky and difficult roads, and to the fact that you are outnumbered by us and much more ferocious than our former enemies, and that you have fought valiantly to defeat them once and for all, and to ensure that the northwestern frontier of the Alliance will not be threatened by the Samoneans for a long time to come! The Senate should thank you! The people should thank you too!

After a lot of fighting, you should have gone home to repair, but now you can't! As you all know, when we were far away in Pothenia, the army of the Syracudas invaded Great Greece and defeated the southern Italian army in the battle, many soldiers of the Fifth and Fourth Legions were captured, Siritin fell, Trina was captured, Coronia surrendered, and the advance of the Syracuse people reached the cities of Asprarustum and Crotone.

Their hired foreign cavalry has invaded the plains of Croton, burning and plundering our land, brutally cutting off the heads of women and children......

Syracuse's vast fleet runs rampant in the Ionian and Tyrrhenian seas, cutting off our trade routes, ramming our ships, blockading our ports, landing on our shores, killing our people, and burning our villages......

Our former ally, Tarantum, also betrayed us in our troubled times, not only by capturing our ally Metapontum, but now by attacking Heraclia, and by sending soldiers to burn and loot in Amendolara and our lands......

and the senators of the Senate, Petaru, Kadurk, and Bergam, who were secretly bribed by the Syracuse (in fact, there was no such thing, it was these three who had already rebelled, and Davers made Syracuse carry the black pot), and in our most difficult time, they actually instigated a part of the people of Bruti to rebel......"

Speaking of this, the soldiers who were listening intently in the square finally made a commotion, and many soldiers also learned some information in the process of entering the city, but they didn't expect the whole situation of the alliance to be so bad: even the senators of the Senate betrayed!!

Davs looked solemn and shouted loudly again: "Brothers, after a hard battle, you should have returned home to rest and reunite with your families, but in the face of countless Alliance people who have lost their relatives and homes, can you stay at home with peace of mind?!" ”

"Can't!!"

"Let's not rest, we're going to keep fighting!!"

"When all the enemies are repulsed, we will repair again!!"

……

The soldiers shouted excitedly.

Davers nodded, with tears in his eyes, and said with a little choked up: "There is a good saying, 'Only in danger can you know who is the hero of the city-state.'" 'As you may not know, Dracos, the commander of the Fourth Legion, was seriously wounded and captured after the defeat of the battle in the south, in order to protect the safe retreat of his other comrades...... The wicked Syracuse attempted to humiliate him under the city of Asprarustum in order to demoralize the Fourth and Fifth Legions, and Drax was for the safety of the Alliance...... Dracos ...... Crashed to the ground in anger and died......"

The soldiers in the square, as well as the people in the square, could not believe their ears when they heard the news, especially the soldiers of the Second Legion, where Dracos had been the commander, shouted: "Lord Davers, is this true?!" Captain Drax died?! ”

"Legion Commander Dracos, how could such a strong fellow be...... Dead?! ”

The soldiers shouted, tears already running down their cheeks, and cries rang out in the square.

Davers wiped away his tears and continued to shout, "Captain Dracos shouted before he died, 'Long live the Ionian Legion!'" Avenge me! That's what he expects from us! I, as the Supreme Commander of Dionia, give an order to you, who are warriors, that you will not withdraw your troops until you kill the enemy! ”

"Avenge Captain Drax!!"

"Fight to the death with the people of Syracuse!!"

……

The soldiers in the square were excited, they drew their short swords, slapped their long shields, and let out a "Boom! Rumble! and all the roars finally turned into one voice: "Revenge!" Avenge!! Avenge!!! ……”

This cry from the bottom of my heart was like a rumbling thunder, condensing the anger and sorrow of the soldiers, resounding in every inch of the land ravaged by the enemy......

The other people present were also excited, and even the elders such as Kunograta and Cornerus, who were standing silently in front of the Senate, couldn't help but shout "revenge", and Davers even waved his right fist and roared with the soldiers.

After a long time, Davers withdrew his fist, and the soldiers gradually regained their quiet.

Davers swallowed his saliva to moisten his hoarse voice, ready to continue his speech, and this time he targeted the people on both sides of the 1st and 2nd Army arrays: "The people of Dionia! Although it was only a short period of four or five years, we experienced many dangers, faced many threats from powerful enemies, and we united as one, and finally defeated the enemy, overcame difficulties, and broke through, so that we can have today's Dionia.

And today an even more formidable enemy stands in our way, Syracuse, jealous of our rapid rise, and it wants to strangle us once and for all, to prevent our alliance from growing into a nation capable of threatening its hegemony. You must understand that this is no longer a question of whether we will stop fighting or surrender, but the key to survival of 'either you die or I live'! So the Syracuse mobilized all the forces they could muster, spent a huge amount of money and resources, and launched this huge war. It wants to wipe out our alliance once and for all, take over our land, and turn us and our children into slaves, just as they destroyed Silitin! ”

Davers paused, and the deathly silence in the square, and both the soldiers and the people turned pale and shuddered at the sight of the tragic sights that Davers had described.

"People!" Davers's voice softened a little: "I know that in this war, which has just begun, some of you have lost your family, some of you have lost your friends, some of you have lost your home, and some of you have lost your land...... And then we could lose even more. But we have no choice, and in order to prevent us and our children and grandchildren from suffering such a tragic fate, we must fight bravely to the end against the brutal Syracuse! As long as we are united, in this difficult time, the people who have food to eat help the hungry people, the people who have houses to live to help the people who have no houses, everyone helps each other like a family, and get through this difficult time together! I, Davers, the Archon of the Alliance, assure you that you will soon hear news of victory after victory! After the night, there must be light, and after this difficulty, what awaits the Dionian Alliance will be a more brilliant tomorrow!! ”

Davers's final promise made the depressed public excited again.

"Master Davers, we will not be slaves, we will fight with you to the end!"

"Lord Davers, as long as you are here, I believe we will win!"

"That's right, Lord Davers is a god, and with Hades' protection, we won't fail!"

……

"Don't forget, Hades' oracle for us!" Amid the excited shouts of the people, a voice suddenly reminded everyone: "Hades has said, 'Only when Lord Davers is king, can we achieve the final victory!'" ’”

"That's right, he also used his divine power to resurrect the spring water to urge us to realize this oracle!" Another voice shouted

……

The legionnaires listened to the people on both sides with excited expressions of "oracles" in a daze...... Lord Davers is king" and so on.

Antonios vaguely guessed something, and he looked up at Davos on the platform ahead.

Davers, on the other hand, looked down at the square that had become a little boiling.

Behind him, the patriarchs such as Kunograta and Cornerus were nervous.

At that moment, a word that shook them shouted from the mouths of countless people: "Let Master Davers...... Be a king! ”

"Let Master Davers be king!"

"King Davers!"

"King Davers!!"

"King Davers !!"

……

The shouts grew louder because the soldiers had joined the ranks, and although they had not yet understood why, it seemed natural that their beloved consul, the victorious commander of the battle, Davers, would continue to lead them to victory as king.
