v4 Chapter 2： Realignment

"It seems that Devers, who is blessed by the gods, has created a miracle again!" Acheta lamented sincerely, he was not blind in his eyes, more curious: "I want to know how Davers won the Turifs. of!"

Majiji told them about the battle of Amendola Lara, with special emphasis on the Amendra Lara, which was a night attack, and the Crotones were too proud and unprepared, not only did not seriously construct the camp, but also drunk, etc. Their degree of surprise.

But the veterans of Tarantum were still shocked by the military talent of Daves. It is obvious that the young governor’s last victory over the Lucanias was not fortunate, nor was he mainly relying on Tarantum reinforcements.

The veterans of Tarantum became cautious about the messengers from Amendola.

One of the governors, Makas, said: "The Amendora Lara, since you have already won, then what are you doing in Tarantum? Is it to show off the record?"

“The Amendora Lama has always been respectful to Tarantum who has saved us! I never dared to have this idea!” Marji’s respectful salute, then said: “I came here because I lost my home. The Iraqis and Amendola are in alliance, so they must re-edit the covenant with Tarantum."

"What do you say?!!" The Senate was in awkward: "The Turifs and you have formed an alliance? What alliance?"

"It wouldn't be that you, Amendola, used force to take up the land of Turui? Just like the mercenary leader took over Amendra Lara!" said a veteran of the Senate.

"I protested the adult's statement!" Mariji said with a loud voice: "You said this is not only an insult to our consul! It is also an insult to Amendola! I can hardly believe that this is from Amendola. The most intimate ally of the wax!"

"Daily O'Brien, you said something wrong! On the day of the Amenadola Lak Citizens' Congress, I was at the scene and saw the scene of the Amendolara people's warm invitation to the mercenaries to become Amendora's citizens. Achta took the initiative to stand up and defend Amendra.

Despite Acheta’s endorsement of Amendorara, Diomeras still sternly retorted: “If it were not for the forcedness of Amendola, why did the Turais choose to join the weak and poor Amenadora, not With the wealthy and powerful Tarantum?"

"Dia Milas is right. If it is not the threat of Armenora, the Turifs will definitely choose Tarantum!" Many veterans immediately agreed.

The Talantum people feel so good! Mariji sneered in his heart and immediately wanted to refute. He was arrested by Ansitanos. He stood up and said softly: "The distinguished lord Tarantum, my name is Ansitanos, originally Turui. General, I have visited Turui many times. Some of you should know me, like Macas Master and Di Si Timas..."

The veterans who were named by him had no choice.

"As a Turai, I can swear to Apollo that Amendo Lara did not use force to threaten Turui! On the contrary, when the city of Turui was captured by Crotone, the Turais even thought that they had been When God abandoned and gave up the struggle, only the weak Amendola Lara did not succumb to the mighty Crotone. Even if the enemy was under pressure, he still adhered to the covenant of Turui! When the city of Turui was burned, The Riy people lost their homes, the threat of injuries and hunger, and the Amendora people came in time, helping us unselfishly! Seeing the cruel Crotones committing the burning of the city - this is in the history of the Greeks Unheard of crimes, robbing all the materials that the Turais depend on, without any punishment. When they went away, there was no city in Greater Greece to come up to justice in time. Only the weak Amendora Lara dared to attack and fight against the powerful grams. Rotonet - our enemies in Turui, also avenged the Turifs!

Which city-state can do all this for Amendola to Turui? ! The Turais regarded the Amendolara as a hero to save them, and they regarded the Amendolara as their loved ones. Therefore, they are sincerely willing to have a consul with the Amendola Lama and jointly own a Senate. Together, they enjoy the powers and duties of citizens. Just like a brother in a family, regardless of you or me, this is a natural choice for our Turifs! ......"

After listening to Ansitanos’s affectionate words, the Tarantum Senate was in a state of silence, and some even felt ashamed.

After a while, the governor, Markas, said coldly: "Amendo Lara and Turui have become alliances, and their strength has been greatly enhanced. The reputation of Amendola can make other city-states dare not invade. It seems that there is no point in talking about the alliance with Tarantum."

Marigi put on a sincere face and said, "Before I came, Daphus had repeatedly yelled at me," Tarantum lends a helping hand in the most difficult time in Amendola, is Amendola Great benefactor! Amendora Lara will have any changes in the future, but the gratitude to Tarantum will never change. I hope that it will be a long-term alliance with Tarantum, always friendly, and will have the opportunity to return this kindness in the future. !'"

The Tarantum Senate has once again become quiet.

Another consul, Di Si Timas, stood up and said: "Now ask the two messengers from Amendola and Turui to leave temporarily. We will discuss the alliance."

.....................

"You, it is said that Amendra Lara, the consul of Amendolara, is a very young person. Young people are often energetic and ambitious. He was a mercenary leader more than half a year ago. Now he is the life of two cities. The governor, the speed of such a promotion and expansion is very similar to that of Syracuse in Sicily! So I don't trust him very much!" Dai Omiras said his fear: "I am afraid today. Tarantum is allied with them, and one day they will turn the spears back and deal with us Tarantum!"

The words of Diomelas attracted the vulgars to laugh: "Dear Omilas, you are too timid! On the three or four thousand citizens of Amendola, and the remains of Turui Thousands of people, I am afraid that less than 10,000 people will be together, Tarantum will be scared?!! Are you really a Tarantum?!"

"Amendo Lara and Turui can survive in the anger of Tarantum. They still have time to think about other things?!"

In the ridicule of the veterans, Dai Omira sneered: "You, when Turui was founded, our ancestors in the Tantalum's Senate are also like you ridiculous today, what is the result? What? The Turais defeated twice in succession! But it seems that we have not learned the lesson from the loss!"

The veterans listened to the words of Diomelas, some thoughtfully, and some looked unremarkable, and said: "The original Turui has the strong support of Athens, otherwise the ultimate winner will be us! The Amendora Lara and Turui are far less able to compare with the former Turui, Diomelas, if Tarantum even wants to worry about it, then what are we still doing here, not as good as Early immigration!"

"I remind everyone that Tarantum needs to be wary of Amendola Lara! Amendora has such a consul with a terrible military talent, and now merges with Turui, and it will develop in the future. To become a strong state in the northern part of Greece, to create trouble for us in Tarantum. In order to prevent such a situation from appearing, we do not need to give it support, but to intentionally limit its development!" Dior Milas patiently persuaded Road.

Achta immediately stood up and said aloud: "Since the adults of Diomeras are afraid of Amendola, then they should be more aligned with them, because Davers has always kept his promise, whether it was previously employed by Turui. Turui was defeated and faced with the danger of being surrounded by the Lukaria armyHe still led the mercenary to stay and defeated; or the army of Tarantum forced to the city, still not giving up with Turui Covenant. This shows that once the alliance with the new alliance of Amendola Lara, Daves, as the lifelong consul, will not only harm Tarantum, but one day when Tarantum encounters difficulties, they will stretch out. Helping!"

At this time, Di Si Timas said: "Achta is right. Don’t forget the greatest threat to our Tarantum? It’s not Amendola, nor Turui, but The Mesapi people who surrounded Tarantum! The Mesapi people were hard to deal with. The **** Athenians taught them heavy infantry tactics and armor manufacturing. Now they are difficult to deal with each year, see them. How many people have killed us each year, how many farmlands have been destroyed! Our roots and temples are here, not in Amendola, not in Turui! To know that there is only one city in Tarantum, but the Mesapi people have In most parts of Puglia, if they let them develop like this, I am afraid that in the future, the Tarantum will lose all the land outside the city and be trapped in the city. This is how we have advocated the establishment of the Great Greek Defense in recent years. The real reason for the alliance! Amendo Lara and Turui become alliances, this is a good thing! In the future when we encounter difficulties, they can give us more help! So, alliance with them, why not?! ”

The elders have had a long silence, and most people look heavy.

Therefore, the proposal of “Talantum and Amendola Lara – the alliance of the Turie Alliance” was finally adopted. When the two sides reached a covenant, although Tarantum upgraded the new alliance to a relatively equal ally, he still proposed that Tarantum should be the leader in future joint military operations.

Marigi and Ansitanos did not raise an objection, so the covenant was reached.
