Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Five Chapter Three
Listening to the united shouts from the audience, Davers turned around and stared at Kunogorata, Cornerus and the others. These elders also looked at Davers, and no one spoke first...
However, the shouts in the square were getting louder and louder, making Kunogorata, Cornerus and others feel the entire platform shaking.
At this time, Davers said, "This is the call of the people of Dionia!"
The elders understood that this sentence meant that Davers had not refused the people's request at all, just as he had not postponed the people's request in Amendolar. With a little disappointment, the elders such as Kunogorata, Kunogorata and others walked forward together. Kunogorata walked in front. He looked at Davers with a complicated expression and said with a sarcastic sarcasm: "Congratulations, Lord Davers!"
Davers did not avoid his gaze and smiled slightly.
Kunogorata grabbed Davers' right hand and held it high.
The shouts in the square suddenly came, and both the people and soldiers stared at the platform intently, looking forward to the arrival of that sacred moment.
"After the strong demand and election of the people of Dionia, the Senate decided to respond to your calls and passed a new bill. Now I declare-" Kunogorata looked down at the crowds of people in the square, suppressing the negative emotions in his heart, and said loudly: "Consul Davers became the king of the Dionia City-Constitutional Union!"
The square was filled with joy...
The captain of the First Legion Zantiparis looked at the platform with his right hand raised. Davers was calm and could not help but recall the young mercenary leader who made a splash at the general army conference six years ago. In just six years, he changed from an unknown lowly mercenary to the king of the powerful city-confederacy alliance in the Western Mediterranean. Hades really favored this Greek!
The two commanders of Antonios, Amintas, and the soldiers from the mercenary who followed Davers from Persia to today, cheered wildly. They witnessed Davers from an ordinary mercenary to the king of a powerful city-confederate alliance in the Western Mediterranean today. This is a miracle, and they are all honored!
At this moment, most people have a king for the alliance, and they are no longer worried and confused and cheered excitedly. A very few people fall into loss...
Davers was also filled with excitement, and even felt like he was in a dream: King, that's it?!
An uncontrollable smile filled his face. He didn't even care that his hand was pinched a little painful by Kunogorata. He had been waiting for a long time to achieve his goal and was not allowed to vent!
Davers did not allow himself to be too proud. He walked a few steps forward and came to the edge of the platform, closer to the people in the square. After the cheers became weaker, he sincerely said loudly: "Citizens of Dionia! People of Dionia! Thank you for your trust in me!
We all know that the Greeks hate the king's rule because the king has supreme power, over the law, and can oppress and humiliate the people of the city-state. However, I, as you, have chosen me, and my power is given by you. Therefore, I, as a king, will not regard the law of the alliance as nothing, nor am I a noble king, but the king of the people, the king who abides by the law of the alliance like you! I will make an agreement with you here..."
Cornerus, who only knows how to do things, actually joked, which shows how much impact Davers’s return has on the improvement of everyone’s morale. Kunogorata couldn’t help but think: If the league really defeated Syracuse this time, what will Dionia’s future development be like?!
Melsis came towards him, and he looked depressed. When he saw Kunogorata and the others, he just nodded and said hello without any interest in speaking.
Kunogorata could guess the reason why Melsis was so rude: after Davers led his army back, in order to fulfill his promise, in order to defeat the powerful enemy and restore peace to Dionya, he had to summon more troops, which meant that the investment in the treasury and the consumption of food must be increased. How could Melsis, who regarded money as life, feel better?
Even Kunogolata and Cornerus couldn't help but worry deeply: it's understandable to expand the army to repel the enemy. But what would happen if the war lasted for a long time, the lack of labor in the country and the exhaustion of resources?
Then, they saw several weapon merchants headed by Theos coming towards him, and they also looked solemn, but when they saw the two veterans, they saluted and greeted him respectfully.
"Tios, what weapons did you make?" Kunogorata recognized him, because the overall equipment of the Dionys army was mainly borne by him. Although a large amount of equipment was traded for new ones, he also made a lot of money and would continue to make money, because new citizens may purchase new legion weapons and equipment from his weapons shop. However, he was smart and donated part of the money he earned to public buildings in Dionys, which not only quickly became a citizen of Dionys, but also won the favor of many veterans and most people.
Kunogorata asked casually about this, but Theos looked embarrassed: "Sir, Davers... King Davers asked us to keep the secret, otherwise-" He made a throat-cutting action, and the two elders were shocked.
Cornerus asked hesitantly: "Then the money should be a lot, right?"
Theos and the other two merchants even had a bitter face: "King Davers asked us to advance money first."
Hearing this, the two elders felt relieved: Fortunately, Davers still maintained a clear mind and had no military force.
Seeing the two merchants leaving, Corneros hesitantly reminded: "Mr. Davers has become the king of Dionia. Should we change his name...?
Kunogorata was stunned: Yes, even these merchants have changed their names obediently. As a senator, they kept calling 'Mr. Davers'. Is this not to tell others that they are unwilling to admit the newly promulgated law?
