Chapter 21 and the alliance with Turii (2)

Hearing this, many people from the Tuliyi Envoy Group were shocked.

Kunogorata had no choice but to propose: Turiyi had to discuss this issue privately before making a decision.

Davers nodded in agreement. Seeing the Turiyi messengers walking far away, he turned around and gave Stromboli a thumbs up: "Sir Strongpoli, you said so well just now!"

"I'm telling the truth!" Stromboli said with a stare.

"What I want is the truth!" Davers smiled.

Stromboli also smiled. He finally let out a vent in front of Turiyiren today!

………………………………………

"Everyone, it seems that Amendolar has reached an alliance agreement with Tarantum, and Amendolar must have obtained Tarantum's consent and proposed such a condition. If we do not agree to this condition, this meeting cannot be discussed again." Kunogorata said with a serious expression.

"Then let's not talk about it! Anyway, the threat of the Lucanians has been resolved, so there is no need to be angry with Amendolar again!" Neonsis said angrily. When he thought of Amendolar's respectful treatment of the messenger of Turii a year ago, he dared to point at General Turii and shout. The huge difference in attitude changes made Neonsis unbearable. He said hatefully: "Damn Tarantum, I thought they were sincerely helping Turii, but I didn't expect to do anything in secret!"

Ansitanos was helpless: "Who made us defeated! A weak city-state cannot be respected. This is the law of history. We have all received news that the Brutis had stopped the war with Crotone. Someone in the Crotone Council mentioned the 'issues about our unmoved old city site', which must arouse our vigilance. Once they attack, the hostile Amendolar behind us will be behind us, and our situation will be very dangerous! In addition, we also know that the Lucanians are very revenge. After this war, we don't know when they will recover, but once they recover and invade again, we are Turiyi, who is in front. Can we defeat them? Is it not necessary for Amendolar's help..."

Ansitanos said something that made others worried. Neonsis snorted coldly, but did not speak again.

"Actually, the key to this problem is whether Tarantum has touched the ambitions of our Turii." Kunogorata reminded everyone, and he carefully analyzed: "I think Tarantum should not have this intention. Otherwise, they would not have tried their best to advocate and establish a Great Greek defensive alliance to jointly deal with the indigenous people. If they want to touch Turii, I am afraid that Crotone, Siliting and other city-states will unite with us to oppose them, and the alliance will collapse, and all their efforts over the past few years will be in vain. And even if they occupy our city-state and support the puppet government close to them, they will not be worth the loss, because they will face three powerful enemies, the Mesapi people in the southeast and the Lucania in the northwest. And even if they occupy our city-state and support the puppet government close to them, they will not be worth the loss, because they will face three powerful enemies, the Mesapi people in the southeast and the Lucania in the northwest. And even if they occupy our city-state and support the puppet government close to them, they will not be worth the effort, because they will face three powerful enemies, the Mesapi people in the southeast and the Lucania in the northwest. And even if they occupy our city-state and support the puppet government close to them, they will not be worth the effort, because they will face three powerful enemies, the Mesapi people in the southeast and the Lucania in the northwest. And if they occupy our city-state and support the puppet government close to them, they will not be worth the effort, because they will face three powerful enemies, the Mesapi people in the southeast and the Lucania in the northwest. And if they do not have any effect, they will face three powerful enemies, the Mesapi people in the southeast and the Lucania in the northwest. And even if they occupy our city-state and support the puppet government close to them, they will not be worth the effort, because they will face three powerful enemies, the Mesapi people in the south

People, the Crotone Allies to the southwest. Once the Lucans or Crotone invade, Tarantum, as the "mother state", will not only send one or two thousand people to Turiyi to deal with it. So I think the reason why Tarantum did this is just because we have defeated them and they want a little revenge. Since our ancestors can make Turiyi a great country in the short years after the city was built more than 40 years ago! As long as we endure temporarily and work together, we will definitely be able to make Turiyi rise again in a short time! Amendorara, Tarantum, the humiliation given to us by us, we will definitely return it to them again, just like our ancestors did!"

"Mr. Kunogorata is right!" Kunogorata's words cheered up the spirit of the people and inspired their confidence. Back at the negotiating table, Turiyiren readily agreed to the first condition proposed by Amendolar.

After looking at Kunogorata opposite, Davers knew that this old man with a gloomy appearance played a big role in it.

At this time, Antonios stood up again and said, "In early April, our consul Davers signed an employment agreement with Turiyi. The main content of the agreement is to 'assist Turiyi to defend and fight off the Lukari'. The term is half a year. In this six months, regardless of whether the task is completed or not, Turiyi will pay mercenaries regularly and a certain amount of grain. This is the original form of the agreement."

Antonios handed the roll in his hand to Ansitanos opposite him: "According to the agreement, even if the Lucanians have been repelled, Turiyi will continue to pay mercenaries and providents, and the mercenaries will continue to implement the requirements in the agreement, 'Defend Turiyi until the half-year period ends.' Now it's time for you to pay and grain."

Kunogorata nodded and was about to answer.

Neonsis quickly stood up and said, "Turi is not ready to enforce this employment agreement!"

Not only was the Amendorala messenger group in an uproar, but Turi's people were also surprised. They had discussed this matter before coming and believed that it was necessary to continue to implement the agreement, because Davers had become the lifelong consul of Amendorala. Hiring Davers was equivalent to hiring Amendorala. First of all, this could satisfy Turi's pitiful self-esteem. The most important thing was that Turi's strength was greatly weakened now. It actually needed Davers to lead a very strong combat-capable mercenary protection in order to allow it to pass the recovery period safely. At that time, Neonsis had opposed it on the grounds of the embassy of the state, and was finally convinced by Kunogorata. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Neonsis actually repented and caught Turi's messenger group off guard.

Under Kunogolata's cold gaze, Neonsis's heart trembled and hurriedly avoided it. He was forced to the edge of the cliff because of an impulse and continued: "First of all, the target of Turiyi's contract was a mercenary. Now the mercenary has become a citizen of Amendolar. The identity of the signing party has changed. Hiring a citizen of a city-state involves more complex interests and procedures, which cannot be solved by this simple employment agreement; secondly, you should pay attention to it.

I realized that the last name of the agreement was General Ferris. He asked Bulkos to be responsible for recruiting mercenaries. When the agreement was brought back to the Turiyi City Hall, most of the generals opposed the content of the agreement. In the end, Ferris forcibly passed the agreement in the name of the chief general. Because he said that he would be responsible for preparing half of the salary and supplies, the agreement signed his name alone, and now he and his family almost died in the battlefield, so..."

"Bah! Turi Irene is not only selfish, but also not trustworthy and has no shame. Even the old man who fought for Turi Ire to death must be slandered!..." Stromboli cursed again, so that the Amendoralans were relieved and that Turi Irene was ashamed.

Seeing that Kunogolata was anxiously pulling Ansitanos and whispering something, Davers quickly turned around and winked at Mariji. Mariji immediately stood up and said, "We agree with your proposal to abandon this employment agreement! But not because we listened to your explanation, but because we don't want Turiyi to add extra special taxes because of the empty treasury, which makes the already grieving Turiyi people even more painful! After all, Amendorala and Turiyi have been allies for many years!" Mariji looked compassionate.

The Amendoralans and Stromboli all had serious expressions, which made Turie even more ashamed.

Kunogolata looked at Neonsis coldly, and Neonsis did not have a sense of accomplishment in arguing about success.

"Amendorala and Turiyi should not only defend their common enemies in military terms, but also strengthen cooperation in trade..." Mariji continued to talk freely and politely spoke out the terms discussed with Davers before.

Out of guilt, most of the Turi's people agreed, which was due to the psychological guilt of canceling the employment agreement, and some clauses were also helpful in solving the difficulties of Turi's people. For example, the ports in Turi's city became crowded due to the long-term influx of free people, foreign merchant ships and sailors, and had many complaints. But the last time in order to win the battle with the Lucanians, the city hall decided to recruit free people out of the city to fight, and verbally announced that the free people who participated in the war after victory will be given to Turi's people.

Civil Rights’, as a result, the war ended, Turiyi was defeated, and the free people suffered heavy casualties. At the end, the Lucanian tribal coalition was annihilated. The living free people who participated in the war demanded that the Turiyi City Hall fulfill their promises, but after discussion with the Council, the generals of Turiyi believed that the Lucanians were repelled, which was entirely due to the mercenaries and Tarantum reinforcements, and the free people did not participate in the subsequent annihilation war. On the contrary, in the previous war, the free people retreated first, resulting in the failure of the entire war, so there was no reason for the free people to demand citizenship.

Turiyi's refusal made the free people feel dissatisfied. A tense atmosphere began to spread in the port area, provoking trouble, fighting and causing trouble gradually increased. The city hall had to increase the number of patrols at the port to deter those dangerous elements. The problem is that Turiyi now has only more than 3,000 young and middle-aged citizens, while there are much more free people in the port area and the city. Once riots are caused, it will be a disaster. Therefore, building warehouses and hotels in Amendorala will help disperse the crowded flow of people in Turiyi port and alleviate conflicts. It is beneficial to Turiyi.
