Chapter 282 The New Order in Central Italy

Davers smiled slightly and said loudly: "If you know the history of the founding of the country of Dionys, you will find that Dionys has never taken the initiative to invade other city-states and races. Usually other forces first invade Dionys. Some city-states even violate their promises and suddenly tore up their covenants with us, invade Dionys' territory, and kill the people of Dionys. This will lead to our Dionys' anger, fight back angrily, and destroy it.

From this we can see that we, Dionia, are not once Rome, we are not tyrannical, nor are we greedy for other countries' lands. On the contrary, we love peace and are willing to live in friendly relationships with our neighbors around us. Here, in the Latinum region, Dionia will continue to uphold our consistent diplomatic attitude. For any force that wants to have friendly exchanges with Dionia, we will live in peace with it, and even sign some friendly agreements to engage in broader trade, cultural exchanges, and even mutual assistance...

I want to make a solemn promise to you here that Dionyah came to Latinum not to bring more war to this land where wars were already frequent, but to eliminate wars and bring peace and prosperity. This not only applies to the Romans and Latins under Dionyah's rule, but also to you who are Roman neighbors who are also willing to get along with us in a friendly manner!”

Although some forces had received similar assurances in contact with the messengers sent by Dionia before, when the words were spoken by the King of Dionia, the messengers undoubtedly felt more at ease.

Then, the Sabin messenger asked again: "Can we Sabins become alliances with Dionia?"

"Of course!" Davers said with a smile: "As long as you Sabin is willing to be friends of Dionia, Dionia is willing to form an alliance with you! When the banquet is over, you can find our diplomat Tapirus to discuss the alliance."

Davers said, pointing his finger at Tapirus sitting at the banquet.

Tapirus immediately stood up and smiled at the Sabin Messenger.

The messenger of Sabin responded quickly and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: Dionys occupied Rome, and Fidene and Crustaum surrendered to it, and Dionys' sphere of influence bordered the territory of the Sabins. Among all the surrounding forces, Sabin became the closest force to the Kingdom of Dionys in the city of Rome, the central town of Latinum. The Romans have been suppressing Sabin for more than 10 years. Now, a Dionys that are stronger than Rome has come, which makes them feel even more panic. Now with the promise of the King of Dionys, they can be said to be completely relieved to be able to form an alliance.

Not only the Sabins, but other forces also had such fears to the point of being more or less, so the messengers also expressed their willingness to form an alliance with Dionia.

Davers agreed one by one.

"Dear King of Diony, I have a question." The envoy of Masi asked loudly: "If there is a war between the two allies of Diony, for example, we Masi have formed an alliance with Diony, and in the future, we have caused war with the Helniki people due to conflicts, we all ask for help from Diony, will Diony help the Helniki people who are closer to you? Or will we help the Masi who just formed an alliance?"

"How could we, the Helniki, be busy rebuilding our homes, conflict with the Masi who helped us!" Although Nemeri was complaining, he was looking forward to Davers' answer, just like other messengers.

"There are many forces in central Italy, with complex relations, and conflicts and wars occur frequently. In recent years, it was only because of the strength and rapid expansion of Rome and the surrounding forces were forced to join forces temporarily under pressure." Davers smiled slightly, his voice was not loud, but he said firmly: "I have said just now that Dionia came here for peace and prosperity. We will first stop the ongoing war, and gather the two sides to discuss the causes of the conflict, find ways to resolve the conflict, and finally restore peace between the two sides.

I believe that people of all races yearn for a peaceful life and do not want to be involved in a war without life guarantee. If such a race really makes a living by war and plunder, then it will be a common danger for us and will be attacked by us! Are you right?"

"Your Majesty, you are right! If Volsey conflicts with another race one day, we are willing to obey the messenger of Dionia to help us resolve the dispute!" Katemantaros made his statement first.

"We Helniki people are willing to follow any decisions of the Dionysian messengers!" Nemeri also rushed to say.

The envoys of other races, including the Masi, have understood: King Davers is going to establish a new order centered on Dionia in central Italy and to make other races and forces comply.

For them, this was not a bad thing, because according to what they learned, the army of Dionys did not pay too much casualties and eliminated the Rome that made them afraid. Since the King of Dionys promised not to use this terrifying force and to resolve the dispute through negotiations, they were much more at ease, so they all agreed with Davers' decision one after another.

At this time, someone shouted: "Dear King Davers, the Celtics in the north are what you call a terrible force that makes a living by plunder. They invaded the Latinum region 20 years ago, and now they are active in the north again. It is said that the former King of Celtic, Brennus, was always obsessed with the failure in Rome before his death, and repeatedly warned the leaders around him to avenge him. Perhaps in a few years, the Celtics will make a comeback, and we may all need to be prepared for this. What do you think about this?"

As soon as these words were said, the messengers present calmed down. Although the Celtic invasion occurred 20 years ago, because the war lasted for a year, all the forces of Latinum were affected, so they were deeply impressed.

Davers looked in the voice and said that the person who spoke was an envoy from Fufluna. Fufluna was one of the twelve Etruscan city-states. This time, he represented the northern city-states of Etruscan northern Etruscan that did not form an alliance with Dionya and came to Rome. Because these northern city-states of Etruscan and the Latinum territory controlled by Dionya, between Tarchuna and Walch, and other southern city-states of Etruscan that had just formed an alliance with Dionya, had not had any contact or conflict of interest. Davers had been speculating on their purpose, and now he finally realized it.

"I have said just now that no force must destroy the peace and tranquility of this land!" Davers said without hesitation: "As long as the Walters dare to invade Walch and Talchuna's territory, Dionia will definitely gather a large army, cross the Tiber River, help the allies, and fight off the Celtics!"

The messenger of Fophluna was stunned and blurted out: "What about the northern Etruscans? The Celtics attacked the northern Etruscans. If Dionia ignored it, the situation would be very bad! The terrain of the Etruscans is flat. In recent years, the northern city-states of Etruscans have only relied on the continuous mountainous areas on the northern border to barely curb the invasion of the Celtics. But if the Celtics gathered their troops to invade the south, it would be difficult for the various city-states in northern Etruscans to resist. Once the Celtics gain a foothold in the north, their attack on the south will be easier and more fierce! At that time, the brutal Celtics will attack Rome again and avenge their old king Brennus!"

Davers looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: "What you said makes sense, but Dionia has no diplomatic connection with your northern city-state of Etruscans. Even if Dionia wants to rescue, she dares not lead troops into your territory, so as not to think that the Dionians, like the Celtics, are also invaders."

The messenger of Fophluna heard what Daphus meant, stood up and saluted Daphus respectfully, saying, "As long as Dionyya is willing to help us Etruscans resist the Celtics, our northern city-state of Etruscans are willing to form an alliance with Dionyya!"

Davers said with a soft head, "It is a good thing that the northern city-state of Etruscans is willing to form an alliance with Dionys. I welcome it very much! After the banquet is over, you can also discuss the alliance with our diplomat Tapirus like other envoys. I said that Dionys came here to make friends. We are very willing to work together with new friends from Latinum, Etruscans, and other regions to resist foreign enemies together! Defend the peace in our homeland together!"

"Your words are so good, King!" Volsi's Katemantaros raised his wine glass, stood up again, and said excitedly: "I suggest that we share the respectful and noble King Dionia, thank him for bringing us peace!"

Katemantaros' proposal was immediately responded by other messengers.

Davers smiled and raised a glass to drink with them.

Tapirus accompanied him to drink this glass of wine and was quite excited. Although he would be very busy next time, this kind of busyness reflects the value of a diplomat. After half a year in the Latinum area, he can finally show his skills.

After the messenger Fofluna sat down, he breathed a sigh of relief.
