v2 Chapter 46: The king is still the consul?

"The highest authority of Athens and Amendola is a citizen assembly, allowing all citizens to participate and determining the important affairs of the city, law, military, diplomacy, etc.; Athens has a 'ten general' system, and Amendora has a double consul To manage the internal affairs of the city-state, and to serve as the military commander in wartime, elected by the General Assembly of the People's Congress every year; there are 500 meetings in Athens, and there are 100-member Senate in Amendola, whose members are also elected by the Citizens' Congress every year. The bill, which is responsible for the execution and trial of city-state laws, assists the governor in managing city-states, and ordinary foreign affairs. It also has an important task of reviewing and providing candidates for the governor.

Originally, the election of the consul was held in June each year, and I applied for it, nominated by the Senate, and elected by the Citizens' Congress. But now, Amendo Lara has experienced war and is in vain. It is urgent to elect a consul and lead the people to rebuild their homes. Therefore, an exception is held today. I would like to ask the former mercenary leader Daves and the main team officers to come to the stage and discuss together to list the candidates of the consul. The voice of Cornelus has just fallen, and the new citizens (formerly mercenary soldiers) under the stage have become impatient.

"What candidate is also chosen! The governor of Amendola Lara can only be our leader of Davis!" Someone shouted loudly in the crowd and immediately got the unanimous approval of the new citizens.

"Yes! Except for the Daves leader, we will not choose others!"

"Only Davers can lead us to create miracles!"

"Daves leader is the commander of the victorious battle, there is him, we don't have to worry about failure!"

"Daves chief is the consul!"

"Davers!"

"Davers!!"

"Davers!!!"

......

Thousands of nearly 3,000 new public officials on the venue screamed Davus’s name in unison, and the momentum was quite spectacular.

For the first time, Cornelus encountered this situation, and he could not help but panic, and immediately cast a look for help from Daves.

Davers smiled and said to Assisi, Asistus immediately ran to the back of the square.

The high-pitched bronze horn sounded over the square, and the former Dafos mercenary soldiers immediately resumed their silence, and the other mercenaries gradually stopped yelling.

Cornelus secretly stunned Daves’s powerful appeal: it seems that Dafos’s position as the consul is definitely no doubt, then another consul should be selected from the original Amendola citizens. Suitable.

Cornelus was anxiously thinking about how to speak. At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "Brothers, although we elected the leader of Daves as the consul, don't forget that he still wants to be with another person. Sharing power, next year will select a new governor, who else can be better than the Daves leader! Who else can create miracles more than the Daves leader! Who else can be more than the Daves leader Command the battle! Who else can be more favored by the gods than Davers!"

"nobody!!"

“No!!” The new citizens are noisy again.

"Are you willing to let a strange, incompetent person rule you?!" another person shouted.

"I don't want to!!" This is what mercenaries are worried about.

"Brothers, think about it. Is the democracy really good? Think of Athens, once the most powerful city-state in Greece, but it was ruined by a group of incompetent politicians! Think again about us at the Xingxinghai The city-states that passed through are also democratic. They are very bad in the governance of the city-state. An army must follow the command of a wise general to be able to win. A city-state must be strong, and of course it should follow this principle. Brothers, we have experienced many difficulties in the past year, but we have also grown a lot of insights, saw the vastness of the Persian territory, saw the hegemony of Sparta, and saw that Turui was bullied because of... ... Are you willing to enjoy freedom under the democratic system, but are still bullied, or are you willing to go strong under the leadership of the Daves leader?! Soldiers, tell your choice!" Watching the crowd shout Oliver, Daves nodded slightly.

"Duffus is the king!" The crowd screamed, Cornelus and the other five on the stage, as well as those of the original Amendolara citizens were shocked.

Both Sesta and Adrians turned to look at Davers, not far away, and the senior officers of the mercenaries, including Antonios, Capps, and Amintas, all around him. . If they are more familiar with Daves, they will find that the soldiers who lead the soldiers in the square are the people of the original Hilos squad, such as Hilos, Matonis, Oliver. Seta and Adrians looked at each other and immediately silenced.

With the explosion, the entire square suddenly fell into a terrible silence, but soon the new citizens began to shout: "Davers is the king." At the beginning of the sparse, it became more and more neat and more and more brilliant.

Cornelus met with the other five people. One of the old people wanted to rush out, but he was dragged to death. He eventually gave up. In the face of the imposing manner of thousands of people under the stage, no one dared to courageously greet him with a shout: "You are wrong! Amendorara will never allow someone to be elected king! The law of Amendola Lala does not Permitted! The citizens of Amendola Lara will never be allowed!!" They are able to live to the present, instead of fighting in the hands of Lucanias like other citizens of Amendola, because they are not brave enough This is why Davers picked them. The former Aminora Lara’s original citizens were mostly old, weak and sick, and they were neither intent nor able to confront mercenary soldiers.

In the heart of Cornelus, he suddenly promised to let the mercenary join Amendola Lara, but the current situation has not allowed him to think more. He once again turned his gaze to Daves.

Davers saw the time is ripe. Unhurriedly went to the stage, the new citizens saw his figure appear on the wooden platform, and the emotions were even more excited. They shouted in unison: "Davers is the king!"

"Davers, King!!"

"Dave Davis!!"

......

Cornelus looked at Davis a complicated look and let the middle position.

Davers faced the black crowd under the stage, and the boiling vocals almost smashed his ears, and his arrogant hands pressed down...

The square gradually recovered its calm.

"Soldiers, no, you should now call you citizens of Amendola! When I left Byzantium, I told the team officials, 'will make you a city-state citizen and have your own land.' In two months my promise has been fulfilled. You have won today's harvest with sweat and blood, and fearless fighting spirit! This is what you deserve, congratulations to you - Amendola New citizens of La!!"

"Wansheng!"

"Wansheng!!" The new citizens of the audience excitedly cheered, and some even shed tears.

"Thank you very much for your trust. I want to elect me to be the king of Amendola. For me, being a king does not mean that I have great power to oppress the citizens and gain benefits for themselves." It means that I have to take on more responsibility, let the citizens of Amendola Lala live a happier life, make our city-state stronger, and not be bullied by others! Although I have this confidence to do it, but— —”Davers paused, and Cornelus’s heart was so nervous that he would jump out of his throat.

"I still have to say sorry to you, I can't be the king." When the words came out, the others on the stage were relieved, and the new citizens under the stage were in vain.

“Why?!” New citizens have raised questions.

"Because there are few city-states in the Greek city-states, the king-regulation system is adopted. Even Sparta is a double-king system (the Macedonian does not count, the Greeks did not regard it as a Greek city-state). Wang Zheng was not immune to the Greek city-state at this time. Welcome, if I became the king of Amendola Lara, then Amendola Lara would be rejected by the great Greek city-states. If Amendola Lara wants to develop, it needs to trade with other city-states; Amendola Lara is strong, Need to be associated with other city-states; and when Amendola Lara is isolated and has no allies, then all good ideas will fall. What is even more terrifying is that Amendola will be attacked by the Greek city-states that dislike the king system, so for Amen Doral, I can't be this king!"
