O Sybaris! Although it has now become the joke of the Great Greeks and the negative example of the city-state, it is undeniable that more than a hundred years ago, it was the largest state of Great Greece that straddled the east and west coasts of the Apennines, ruled many cities, and intimidated the local races such as the Brutis and Lucaria, and had amazing wealth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The Info senators remembered the glory of the past and reveled in the vision of the future, and once again cheered excitedly, and some of the senators even shouted excitedly: "Cross the Sinni River, capture Grummentum, and recapture our Poseidonia!" ”

When did Poseidonia become ours! Davers chuckled inwardly, he was happy to see that happen.

At this time, Wesbah stood up and asked with concern, "How is Lord Davers, Grummentum and the other Lucalians doing?" ”

"Because our attack was successful and not a single person escaped, it is estimated that the Lucalians in the north have not yet received news. Seta is seizing the moment to stabilize the situation in Niutum. With the full assistance of Bagul, a large number of Lucarians and slaves in Niutum were willing to become citizens of the League, and Sesta and Yasistes were busy registering these submissive Lucanians, allocating land, distributing cattle and sheep, and strengthening the city's defenses...... In addition, Arsistes is also building the fortress of the La River, which will be returned in two days. Even if the Lucarians in the north got the news, they would not be able to attack Niutum for the time being. In the information we have received before, we all know that Pikosis has just had a battle with Grummentum, due to the rebellion of some of the leaders, Lusau, the son of Akpiru, who occupied Grummentum, was defeated and led his men to flee to Poitentia, and Pothenia accepted him, obviously even if Sincinag of Pikosis occupied Grumentium, he still has to be careful of Botentia's intervention, so now Niutum is safe for the time being! ”

Davers's words relieved the worries of some of the senators, and the scene became even more enthusiastic.

Cornerus exclaimed, "My Excellency, there is an important issue that needs to be resolved by the Senate urgently! ”

Most of the patriarchs were stunned: what will be the big problem in this day of victory?

"Before, we had two cities, Amendora and Turii, so we called it the Tua Union, which is simple and clear, and the people understand its meaning as soon as they hear it. But now there is another Niutum, and if it is still called by the original name - Tuafa Union, it is not quite right! Cornerus said earnestly.

Cornerus's attentiveness made the senators realize that it was indeed inappropriate: this would be tantamount to excluding Niutum, and what would the people of Niutum think in the future? And judging from the development trend, Niutum will be dominated by Lucanians in the future, and now how much effort and enactment of many bills to include Lucarians in the alliance is a long-term plan gradually reached by the senators, because a name problem can lead to discord and division, so that the long-term efforts of the alliance will come to naught! This is indeed an important issue that needs to be addressed right now!

"Then it's called the Turii-Amendolara-Niutum Alliance!" Amintas's answer was simple and straightforward, but it made some of the senators laugh.

"Oh, that's pretty convenient. But what if you get Grummentum next time? Let's continue to call it the Turii-Amendolara-Niutum-Grummentum Alliance?! If you ...... next time If this continues, every time the official name of our alliance is mentioned in the future, it will take a lot of time! Mersis teased exaggeratedly.

The crowd burst into laughter.

Amintas's face could not be hidden, and he said angrily: "Mersis, you can choose a better name for me!" ”

"It's not difficult, since we're going to restore the glory of Xubaris and regain its amazing wealth......" Speaking of this, it felt like Mersis's saliva was about to fall: "Just call it Xinxubaris!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Kunogorata shook his head in disapproval: "This name is not good! It is easy to exacerbate relations with Crotone, and it can also make neighboring city-states feel uneasy! ”

Ansitanos agreed: "Yes, when the trade of Cybaris was prosperous, there was competition with many of the city-states of Greater Greece, and relations were not very good, and even the Campanian League (i.e., the League of Naples), north of Lucaria, was hostile to Cybaris. We can't afford to have a stiff relationship with our neighbors because of a name! ……”

As a historian, Ansitanos's words naturally won the attention and approval of the senators. Many of the senators re-swallowed names that they had already thought of that might cause displeasure among their neighbors, such as Antonios' "Greater Greek Alliance". At this time, the senators found that the name was really difficult to choose, not only to make it have a certain meaning, but also to represent all the cities in the alliance, and at the same time to consider the future development, but also to take into account the relationship with the neighbors. Some of the patriarchs pondered and whispered, and some simply turned their gaze directly to Davers......

"It's not easy to choose a name, I say a name, and you all will feel good!" Someone said confidently and loudly.

Everyone saw that it was Plesinus.

"Tell me about it!" At the urging of the patriarchs, Plecinas said slowly, word by word: "It's called the Dionian City-State Alliance!" ”

While the uneducated patriarchs like Amintas were still pondering the meaning of the name, many of them turned their meaningful gaze to Davers again.

Davers was a little surprised. He had indeed ignored the issue of the name of the alliance before, and he was also thinking about the name when everyone was thinking about it, but he didn't expect that Plesinus would repeatedly give him unexpected surprises: the meaning of Davers's name is "son of God", and some people in the alliance believe that the name of the consul was given by the gods, otherwise how would his parents know whether their children would become Hades's patrons or his blood in the future (by false rumors)! And "Dio" means God, and the name "Dionia" means the land of the gods, so the names "Dionia" and "Davers" are deeply related.

Before Davers could say anything, Marigi had already exclaimed: "Good name! Good name! The Greeks used the names of gods to name city-states, such as Poseidonia, as you mentioned earlier, and Athens, as we all know...... Our alliance has been blessed by Hades many times, so that we can win more with less, defeat the strong with the weak, and develop so rapidly in a short period of time! To thank Hades, the symbol of our alliance is Hades, the flag of our army is Hades, and we will build a temple for him, but this is not enough! The people of the whole Union deserve his protection, so the name Dionya has been obtained! I believe that with it, the development of our alliance will be more rapid! ……”

Let a Persian talk about the gods and charisms of the Greeks, it seems a little strange to outsiders, but the elders here are listening very carefully, and some of them are already nodding their heads in agreement, because the troops are out of the country, there are many former mercenary veterans who firmly support Davos, and without these people to coax, the scene is a little cold.

Davers looked around at everyone and his gaze fell on Corneros and Kunogorata: "Two city administrators, what do you think of this name?" ”

Cornerus bowed his head and said, "I have no objection. ”

Kunograta glanced at Plescinus, then at Davers, and said, "I totally agree, it's a good name!" ”

"Then call it the Dionian City-State Alliance!" Davers calmly made the final decision.

…………………

At the end of the meeting, Davers walked out with the House of Representatives, never talking to Plesinas deliberately.

When they went out, all the senators were stunned: in front of the Amendora Senate was a dense crowd of people standing all the way down the hill, including wives who had lost their husbands at the hands of the Lucalians, old men who had lost their children, children who had lost their fathers, hundreds of Turiis who had suffered from phobia from the Lucarias, and Amendorala who were worried about the situation at the front (almost all the families of the soldiers who had gone out were in Amendora...... At this moment, they all stood quietly, and when they saw Davers and them come out, I don't know who shouted first, followed by a tsunami of cheers: "Wan Sheng, Tua Alliance!! ”

"Wan Sheng, the Senate !!"

"Hooray, Master Davers!!"

"Thank you!! Thank you ......."

Everyone was cheering to their heart's content, tears of excitement flashing in their eyes...... It was the release of years of humiliation! That's a pleasure of hatred! It was a joy that there was no fear again!

The Tua coalition led by Davers seized Niutum and solved the long-standing troubles of Turiyi in one fell swoop, and the sincere gratitude of the people infected all the senators. At this moment, they felt the pride and pride of being the senators of the Tua League, just as Davers said: we want to lead the people to create a prosperous and powerful union of Ionian city-states! Let the Dioonians be proud to claim to be Dionian citizens in any city-state in the Mediterranean, and no foreigner will dare to invade them!

Naturally, Tratus saw this spectacular and touching scene, and no matter how much he felt in his heart, the message sent back to Crotone Town Hall was brief: the Tua alliance had captured Niutum and Laos had become its ally.

Milon and Lycias of Crotone and other generals and council members were surprised by this, and it had been less than a year since Davos arrived in Great Greece with his mercenaries, and the high rate of victory in the battles he commanded had already made them feel a little frightened.
