Chapter 935 New Order in Central Italy
Davos smiled slightly and said loudly: "If you understand the history of the founding of Dionia, you will find that Dionia has never actively invaded the territories of other city-states and races. Usually other forces invade Dionia first. Diaonia, and even some city-states broke their promises, suddenly tore up their alliances with us, brazenly invaded the territory of Dionia, and killed the people of Dionia, which led to the anger of our Dionia, angrily counterattack, destroy it.

It can be seen that our Dionia is not the former Rome. We are not tyrannical, nor greedy for other countries' lands. On the contrary, we love peace and are willing to live in friendship with our neighbors.Here, in the Latium 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 conduct Wider trade exchanges, cultural exchanges, and even mutual aid...

I want to make a solemn promise to you here. Dionia came to Latium not to bring more wars to this war-prone land, but to eliminate wars and bring peace and harmony. Prosperity, this not only applies to the Romans and Latins under the rule of Dionia, but also to you, as neighbors of Rome, who are also willing to live in friendship with us! "

Although some forces had received similar assurances in previous contacts with envoys sent by Dionia, when these words were spoken by the King of Dionia himself, it undoubtedly made the envoys more reassured.

Then, the Sabine messenger asked again: "Can we Sabines also form an alliance with Dionia?"

"Of course!" Davos said with a smile: "As long as you, Sabine, are willing to be friends with Dionia, of course Dionia is also willing to form an alliance with you! When the banquet is over, you can find our diplomacy Guan Tapyrus, discuss the alliance."

Davos said while pointing his finger at Tapirus sitting at the banquet.

Tapyrus immediately stood up and greeted the Sabine envoy with a smile.

The Sabine envoy responded quickly, with a long sigh of relief in his heart: Dionia occupied Rome and Phydina, Crustaum surrendered to him, and Dionia's sphere of influence bordered on the territory of the Sabines Well, among all the surrounding forces, Sabine has become the closest force to Rome, the central town of the Kingdom of Dionia in Latium. The Romans have been suppressing Sabine for more than 10 years. They found a Dionia that was more powerful than Rome, which frightened them even more.Now that they have the promise of King Dionia and can form an alliance, they can be said to be completely relieved.

Not only the Sabines, but other forces also have this fear to a greater or lesser extent, so the envoys have also expressed their willingness to form an alliance with Dionia.

Davos agreed one by one.

"Dear Your Majesty the King of Dionia, I have a question." Envoy Masi asked loudly: "If there is a war between two allies of Dionia... For example, we, Maxi, have formed an alliance with Dionia In the future, conflicts with the Herniki people led to wars, and they all asked Dionia for help. Will Dionia help the Herniki people who have a closer relationship with you? Or will it help the newly formed alliance with Masi? ?”

"We Herniki people are busy rebuilding our homes, how can we conflict with the Masi people who have helped us!" Although Nemeri was complaining, like other envoys, he was looking forward to Davos's answer.

"Central Italy has many forces and complex relationships. Conflicts and wars occur from time to time. In recent years, it is only because of the strength and rapid expansion of Rome that the surrounding forces have been forced to temporarily unite under pressure." Davos smiled slightly. , his voice was not loud, but he said resolutely: "I have just said that Dionia is here for peace and prosperity. We will first stop the ongoing war and gather both parties to discuss the causes of the conflict. Discuss and find a way to resolve the conflict so that both parties can eventually restore peace.

I believe that people of all races yearn for a peaceful life, and do not want to be involved in a war that has no guarantee of life. If there is such a race that lives by war and plunder, then it will be a common danger for us, and it must be We will fight against him together!Are you right? "

"Your Majesty, you are right! If Wolsi has a conflict with other races one day, we are willing to listen to the Dionian envoy to help us resolve the dispute!" Catamontaros first expressed his stance.

"We Herniki people are also willing to obey any decision of the Dionian envoy!" Nemeli also rushed to say.

Envoys from other races, including the Masi people, have understood: King Daves wants to establish a new order centered on Dionia in central Italy, and wants other races and forces to comply.

For them, this is actually not a bad thing, because as far as they know, the Dionysian army did not suffer too many casualties, and wiped out Rome, which made them fearful. Since King Dionia promised They would feel much more at ease if they did not use such terrifying force and settled the dispute through negotiation, so they all agreed with Davos' decision one after another.

At this time, someone said loudly: "Dear Majesty King Davos, the Celts in the north are what you call a terrible force that lives by plundering. They invaded the Latium area 20 years ago, and now they are again Beginning to become active in the north, it is said that the former Celtic king Brennus never forgot his defeat in Rome before he died, and repeatedly warned the leaders around him to avenge him. Perhaps a few years later, the Celts It will come back again, and we all need to be prepared for it, what do you think about it?"

As soon as these words came out, the messengers present fell silent.Although the Celtic invasion occurred 20 years ago, because the war lasted for a year, all the forces in Latium were affected to some extent, so they were all deeply impressed.

Davos followed the sound and heard that the person speaking was the messenger from the city of Fufluna.Fuluna is one of the twelve Etruscan city-states. This time, it represents the northern Etruscan city-states that have not allied with Dionia and came to Rome. Because these northern Etruscans Between the city-state and the Latium territory controlled by Dionia, there are Tarchuna, Volch and other southern Etruscan city-states that have just formed an alliance with Dionia. The two sides have not communicated before, and there is no What kind of conflict of interest, Davos had been speculating on their intentions, and now he finally realized it.

"I have just said that no force is allowed to destroy the peace and tranquility of this land!" Davos said without hesitation: "As long as the Volts dare to invade the territories of Volch and Tarchuna, Dio Nia will definitely gather a large army, cross the Tiber River, help the allies, and repel the Celts!"

The envoy of Fufluna was stunned and blurted out: "What about northern Etruria? The Celts attacked northern Etruria. If Dionia ignores it, the situation will be very bad! Etruria The sub-region has a flat terrain. In recent years, the northern Etruscan city-states have only relied on the continuous mountainous areas on its northern border to barely contain the Celtic invasion. However, if the Celts gathered an army to invade south, the northern Etruscan city-states would It is difficult for various city-states to resist. Once the Celts gain a foothold in the north, it will be easier and more violent to attack the south! By then, the brutal Celts will attack Rome again , attack Latium and avenge their old king Brennus!”

Davos looked embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "What you said makes sense, but Dionia doesn't have any diplomatic ties with your northern Etruscan city-state, even if Dionia wants to rescue you, I don’t dare to lead troops into your territory rashly, lest the Etruscan people will think that the Dionians are invaders like the Celts.”

The messenger of Fuflona heard the meaning of Daves' words, stood up immediately, saluted Daves respectfully, and said: "As long as Dionia is willing to help us Etruria resist the Celts, we will The northern Etruscan city-states are willing to form an alliance with Dionia!"

Davos nodded gently and said loudly: "It is a good thing that the northern city-states of Etruria are willing to form an alliance with Dionia. I welcome it very much! After the banquet is over, you can also join other alliances. Like an envoy, discuss alliance matters with our diplomat Tapyrus. I said that Dionia came here to make friends, and we are very willing to cooperate with the Latium region, the Etruscan region, Join hands with new friends from other regions to defend against external enemies! Let’s defend the peace of our homeland together!”

"Your Majesty, what you said is so good!" Katemontaros of Wolsey raised his wine glass, stood up again, and said loudly and excitedly: "I propose that we jointly respect the distinguished King of Dionia and thank him Brought us peace!”

Catamontaros's proposal was immediately echoed by other messengers.

Davos smiled and toasted with them.

Tapirus finished the glass of wine and was quite excited. Although he would be very busy next, this busyness reflected the value of a diplomat. After coming to the Latium area for half a year, he could finally Show off your skills.

After the Fulfluna messenger sat down, he let out a sigh of relief.

What he just said is not entirely true. Since the Celts invaded southward 20 years ago, the strength of the Etruscan city-states has been greatly weakened, and the northern city-states have been even more serious, because the Celtics have Although people did not gather large armies to go south, small-scale invasions were frequent. The northern city-states helped each other and jointly defended at the beginning, but after repeated failures, they could only fight on their own and try their best to support them.Therefore, when Rome attacked the southern city-states of Etruria, the northern city-states could only watch them being forced to submit to Rome because they were too busy to take care of themselves and had no energy left to reinforce the south.

　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to my brothers and sisters!
