The flat and wide streets, neatly divided blocks, neatly ordered houses... all make people feel that the Dionians value hygiene and order. The elevated water bridge standing high across the city, the slowly rotating huge water wheels, the unique fountain, and the gurgling water on both sides of the road... This shows that the Dionians, as Greeks, also have their own characteristics and pursuits for architectural art and technology.

What made the messengers stop the most was the towering white Arc de Triomphe, the magnificent Square of Victory, and the grand Senate Hall. This was obviously showing Dionia's ambition and pursuit. If they had seen these before, they might have secretly ridiculed Dioria for being overestimated, but after the Second Croto Civil War, they had to face up to this city-constitution alliance, and they obviously realized that this emerging city had shown its uniqueness and extraordinary ambitions from other Greek city-states since its establishment.

Not to mention anything else, look at the Temple of Hades on the hills in the distance. With Pluto as the patron saint of the city-state, the only one in Greece is Dionys.

Just as the messengers carefully observed the center of the emerging city-confederacy, while walking westward and heading to the Senate, the people of Turiyi left their homes, and walked happily eastward in groups.

"What did I hear them say... allocate land?" asked the Siliteng messenger curiously.

"Yes, I heard it too." Terry's messenger asked more directly: "Are you going to allocate the newly occupied land to the citizens?"

"Everyone, the land that Dionia did not occupy is legally obtained according to the covenant!" Presinas, who came to greet them, immediately corrected them seriously.

The messengers did not refute, but they complained in their hearts.

"According to the Dionian Second Law, the Dionian Citizenship Law and the promise made by the Senate before the war, all citizens who participated in this war will obtain land." Presinas continued without any concealment: "Based on the achievements of the militia in the war and the actual situation of the plains in the northern plains of Asprestum, Crimesa and Croton... During this period, the Ministry of Agriculture and Military Affairs under the Senate have done a lot of work. Today is the result of announcing the distribution of land. Not only the people of Turiyi, but also the people of Amendoralar and Niutum will come. Because there are too many people, it can only be held outside the city... If you are interested, you can go and have a look when the meeting is over."

"We should hurry to go to the Senate first and do the things well. The people of our city-state are still looking forward to our news!" Seeing that the other messengers were a little moved, Sisprotis shouted and took the opportunity to hide his shame. After all, Dionys allocated the land that Crotone was forced to cede.

…………………………

Sisprotis knew that this mission would not be as easy as last time, but he did not expect that in the face of the request of the four city-state envoys, all the veterans of the Dionysian Senate opposed the sending of troops.

...What "The war has just ended, and Dionia has suffered a lot, and there is not enough money and food to deal with another war!"...

...What "The citizens of the Dionians have just put down their shields and have the newly allocated land, and they are ready to rest and rest. Before the spring is over, they should quickly plant wheat on the newly divided land, and they can still catch up with the bumper harvest, so they cannot have the desire to fight!"...

...What "Dionia does not need to be enemies with Locre, and thus provoke the powerful city-state of Syracuse!"...

In short, thousands of words are summed up in one sentence: Dionia just wants to rest and recuperate, not to meddle in other people's business.

So, the messengers of Silit, Trina and Caurenia expressed their willingness to sign the Treaty of Defensive Alliance with Dioria like Crotone, and were strongly opposed by the elders of Dioria. Their reasons were very simple: because with the current strength of Dioria, almost no force in southern Italy dared to provoke them, while Cauren, Trina and Caurenia were attacked by Locre and Brutis from time to time. If this treaty was signed, it would be equivalent to the three city-states hiring a powerful alliance of city-constitutions to protect their security for free, which was obviously beneficial to them, but no benefit to Dioria.

The negotiations in the Senate were deadlocked, and Sisprotis was anxious, but there was no way.

At this time, the messenger of Trina said anxiously: "What if I ask to join the Dionys League?"

The Trina Messenger was not a whim. When passing Castron, Amicles and others warmly treated them. At the banquet, the Castron's members mentioned the many benefits Castron gained after joining the Dionian League. At the same time, they saw with their own eyes the stability and prosperity of the people in Castron City, which was somewhat touched by the messengers.

When Sisprotis heard this, he was shocked and subconsciously shouted: "Sipoulos, do you know what you are talking about?!"

"Save Trina!" The messenger Cipoulos said with confidence: "We Trinas have always abide by the covenant in the alliance, responding to your Crotone's call, paying tribute on time every year, and in any war we did not actively send troops to deliver food! What we have received is the great destruction of Trina's territory by the Locre people. Trina is a small state, but they live in the gap between Hibernian (the city-state in the Locre League, south of Trina) and the Brutis. If Locre cannot be repelled as soon as possible, if the Brutis attacks, the Trinas may have starved to death!"

Sis Protisbon wants to say: Trina will have no food at that time, and Crotone can provide assistance.

But he swallowed the words to his mouth again. Crotone experienced these two wars with Dionia and suffered heavy losses. Because of the later blockade of the Locre Fleet, the people of the whole city also faced a food shortage crisis. This is also the main reason why Crotone urgently agreed to the three allies in his alliance to ask Dionia for help.

He warned loudly: "Don't you know that if you join the Dionian League, you can't have any alliance with other city-states! If Trina withdraws from the Crotone League, then Crotone will immediately retreat the Crotone internal team that Trina helps defend. If the enemy invades in the future, we will not give Trina any help!"

Sisprotis's words were not only directed at Trina, but also a reminder to the Siliteng, the envoy of Colennia, and even the Senate of Dionys. After all, the main force in the south to resist Locre was Crotone. If it gave up, it would not only cause great trouble for the other city-states, but also an obstacle to Dionys' plan.

Therefore, the envoy of the Caurenian clerk, who had some ideas, kept silent, and the envoy of Trina Cipoulos was also in a difficult situation at this moment.

Seeing this, Davers said slowly: "If Dionys from the Crotone League, if Dionys agrees to your request and sends troops to repel Locre, then Locre, and even Syracuse, is likely to concentrate the anger of failure on us Dionys. No rational Dionysian people will allow us to make such a foolish decision that is completely harmful to the interests of our alliance in order to help you."

Davers' words made the messengers look dark.

Davers then changed the subject: "But as you said just now, whether it is Dionys, Crotone, Silit... because of conflicts and interests, or even wars, it is ultimately a matter between our Great Greek city-states. But colluding with Sicily like Locre and intervening in the war in our Great Greek city-states is undoubtedly a hungry wolf to the flock, threatening the security of the entire Great Greek city-state. We must take advantage of the time when Syracuse is busy fighting Carthage to end the war with Locre as soon as possible, and do not give Syracuse the excuse to interfere. Therefore, we still do not send troops. Our Senate of Dionys feels very embarrassed! The people need a good reason to make them who are eager to be stable feel that they are not fighting meaninglessly for outsiders, and Dioria does not want to be abandoned after aiding you and face a strong enemy alone in the future!"

The messengers fell into silence, and the meaning in Davers's words was already very obvious.

Sisprotis was upset. He remembered Lucias's warning before his departure: Dionia might not ask the city-states to promise to give a large amount of gold, silver and materials that the city-states promised to urge it to send troops, nor would they sign a defensive alliance treaty with the city-states, and they would probably want more...

At this time, Davers said loudly again: "I have a proposal for you to consider."

At the moment he paused, each messenger raised his ears.

"Dionia, Crotone, Silit, Colenia, Trina, our five city-states jointly form an alliance to jointly resist and attack our enemies who dare to invade our enemies. The alliances do not invade each other, and conflicts can be resolved through negotiation!"

Hearing this, the messengers all looked like this, but the dark color on Sisprotis's face was darker, while the others were obviously a little moved, especially the Trina messenger Siprotis became active again and asked first: "Sir, who is the main focus of this alliance?"

As soon as this question arose, Sis Protics suddenly became nervous.

Davers smiled slightly: "When all the alliances are equal in size, and when they encounter problems and are difficult to reach an agreement, they can vote for one city-state and vote to solve the problem..."

Davers' answer was beyond the expectations of the messengers. He thought that Dionyha proposed to establish a new alliance in order to gain the dominance of this alliance. Except for Sisprotis, the other messengers' eyes were lit.
