Chapter 62 The Year-End Kingdom Assembly
Davers, sitting on the throne, announced loudly: "Everyone has no need to worry about food, because Dionyha has become an alliance with Egypt. Egypt's pharaoh Nektanib promised to continue to assist Dionyha's large amount of wheat for free until the autumn harvest. The first batch of grains will be nearly 100,000 tons, and shipped by fleets have already set off from Egypt."
When the parliamentarians heard the news, they cheered in unison, their faces full of joy, and some even shouted excitedly: "The kingdom is victorious! King Davers is victorious!" Because they knew that this natural disaster no longer poses any threat to the people in various towns of the Kingdom of Dionys.
In such a festive atmosphere, Secretary of Military Affairs Hilos began to talk about the military situation of the kingdom last year and his daily military affairs. He focused on the formation and training of the 11th Corps and the construction of the military camp. For this reason, he expressed his gratitude to the towns in the Doni region for their active cooperation.
Next, he talked about the reasons for the two wars that occurred last year: from the Cauteni repeatedly violated the alliance and invaded the Campania Allied Alliance, and talked about the Campania messenger coming to Turiyi for help, the Dionyanian envoy went to Kauteim to block the war and was rejected. In the end, the Kingdom had to send a third legion to crush the Cauteni's attempt to invade the Campania Allied Alliance...
Then he talked about: the Carthaginians' long-term support and assistance to Rome, the sinister purpose contained in this move, and the large-scale attack on Volsey. With Volsey's request for help, why did Dionia form an alliance with it and send army to support it, and also briefly describe the entire battle of Volsey...
Hilos's focus was at the end. He loudly reminded everyone in the venue: "Since Carthage took the initiative to tear down the friendly agreement with Dionia and declared that as long as Dionia and Rome had a war, it would declare war on Dionia. According to intelligence, there is an active preparation for war in Carthage, so the war with Carthage this year will inevitably happen!"
After Hilos finished speaking, the venue was quite calm. After all, most of these town councillors were well-informed and were always paying attention to the major events in Turiyi. What's more, after they arrived in Turiyi, they would usually visit the elders from the town and get some information about the conference in advance. Therefore, they did not blame the two wars that Dionia participated in and the possible war with Carthage. On the contrary, they were more concerned about the impact of the upcoming war on their towns.
For example: The members of Enona and Copsa are worried: Once the upcoming war breaks the peace between Dionia and the surrounding forces, will the Samones, who have already broken face with Dionias, take the opportunity to launch an attack on the entire western region of Campania? Although the Third Legion has now gone to guard the Campania alliance, they still hope that the Ministry of Military Affairs can continue to strengthen the defensive power in this area.
The same idea was the MPs from the Dooni region, who believed that compared with the tightly defended northwestern border of Dionia, the military strength of the Dooni region that had just been incorporated into Dionia was weak, which may become the focus of the Samonets' offensive, and the Ministry of Military Affairs must pay attention to it.
The Sicilian MPs were more direct, because at this time the war mobilization of the territory of Dionia in Sicily had begun. They believed that if the Carthage army attacked, the Sicilian army alone would not be enough to resist. They hoped to send several more legions to Sicily.
The MPs of Hera and Hebita brought some proposals from the Sikel tribes: they hope to join the Kingdom of Dionia and gain fertile land through the upcoming war.
Of course, more towns and town members called for the assembly of soldiers of various legions to delay for a period of time to ensure the smooth progress of spring sowing.
...
Of course, King Davers and his ministers in the center of the venue do not need to respond immediately to the active questions and suggestions of the members of the meeting. The clerks of the venue will record their proposals. These will be the topics discussed by the elders and the members in the next few days, find solutions, and form the final proposal. After the majority was passed at the conference, it was signed by King Davers that a new bill was finally formed and implemented in the kingdom.
The newly promoted elders Alsibidas and Feidun attended the Kingdom Assembly for the first time. Since Lijim had just been incorporated into the Kingdom of Dionia, the members of the city council and the civil guards of his city council have not been elected, let alone elect a representative to attend the assembly, so they were completely unfamiliar with the meeting process and had no preparations at all.
The two of them also witnessed the opening of the conference with their own eyes. The ministers of the Kingdom talked about the work of various departments for one year, the questions of the parliamentarians, the fierce debates and compromises between the parliamentarians in the following days, and the proposals finally reached... These all opened their eyes, especially Feidun, who couldn't help but sigh loudly: "The Dionians created a great political system that not only facilitates centralized management of vast territory, but also tries to meet the democratic expression of their demands in various towns. How could such a country not become prosperous and powerful!"
Alsibidas couldn't help but say: "It is said that this system was advocated and formulated by my brother-in-law!"
"It is the luck of the Kingdom of Dionys to have a magical king full of wisdom!" Feidun's praise again made Alsibidas, a relative, feel proud. He said excitedly: "Luckily, we have also become Dionys!"
Feidun said seriously: "This is the most correct thing that we, Lijim people, have done in the past decade!"
Just as the members of the assembly were having a heated discussion on the second day, Davers came to the city council hall in Turiyi. Compared with other cities, Turiyi has the largest population and the largest council, and naturally the largest council hall, which can accommodate four or five hundred people. The annual meeting of the Kingdom Guardians is held here.
Davers delivered the opening speech, sincerely thanking the civil servants for their contributions to safeguarding the security, stability and fairness of the entire kingdom over the past year.
Then the Supreme Inspector Sesta briefly summarized the disclosure of illegal and disciplined incidents in various cities last year and the overall situation of protecting the interests of the people. Then he focused on some cases of bribery and bribery that they cooperated with the Supervision Department to resolve. Finally, he named and commended ten excellent civil guardians and their outstanding deeds made last year.
The ten guardians from the towns of the Kingdom, who had been notified in advance, walked to the center of the venue, and Davers personally wore the medal on their Burton.
This is a small buckle made of silver and carved into the shape of an exquisite snake-head whip. Its creativity comes from the nickname of the civil guardians. They are called "kingdom whip" by the people, which means supervising and whipping those illegal people. This is the highest honor received by the civil guardians, so they all excitedly accepted King Davers' congratulations when they came to the stage.
Unlike the Congress of Congress, the Congress of the People's Protectives is the protagonist of the People's Protectives. The next time they will come to the stage to talk about some of the situations, problems and suggestions of their cities. Most of them come from towns and are more accustomed to discovering and looking at problems from the perspective of the people. This is of great benefit to Davers, the ministers and the Senate to have a more comprehensive understanding of the situation at the grassroots level of the Kingdom. Therefore, the clerks carefully recorded the speeches of each People's Protective, and some of their useful suggestions will be summarized in the Senate for discussion.
At the end of this day's meeting, Davers once again thanked the civil guards for their contributions to the kingdom and reminded them: In the new year, a great war is likely to break out in the kingdom! During the war, it is very important to ensure the stability of the kingdom!
He hopes that the civil guards can assist local officials in managing the place, be wary of suspicious strangers, and prevent unrest. At the same time, they should also help the families of citizens who serve and fight to safeguard their interests... Whether the whole country of Dionia can work together to defeat the enemy depends on their efforts!
Davers's words made the guardians excited. They made promises to the king one by one and brought this promise back to their colleagues in their city.

Just as Davers was unifying the awareness of the people of the cities of the Kingdom through these two conferences held in the New Year, preparing to deal with the upcoming war, Cynthia was receiving Adoris, who had come to visit her, by asking the chef to cook good dishes and prepare excellent wine to entertain her brother.
"Sister, do you really not eat a little? This fish tastes good!" Adoris asked casually while eating the dish.
Cynthia touched her abdomen and shook her head and said, "I see fish and meat now, and I just want to vomit. Cristoya's mother specially sent a chef to make dishes suitable for pregnant women."
"Mother is really good to you!" Adoris said sighing.
"Are your parents not good to you?" Cynthia asked back.
Adoris was speechless for a moment and quickly buried his head in eating.
Cynthia looked at her and suddenly asked, "You are usually busy with training in the military camp and rarely go home. Why do you have time to come to me today? Is there anything wrong?"
Cynthia's sudden question made Adoris stunned. He was obviously not ready and he stammered: "No... nothing happened. I just heard... I heard that you are pregnant, come and see you."
Cynthia immediately looked stern and took out her elder sister's majesty: "I am your sister, I don't know what you are thinking yet! Don't be silly, tell me if you have anything to do!"
