Chapter 458
Listening to the unanimous shouts from the audience, Davos turned and stared at Kunogorata, Cornelus and the others.And these elders also looked at Davos, and no one spoke first...

However, the shouts in the square became louder and louder, making Kunogolata, Cornelus and others feel that the entire platform was shaking.

At this time, Davos said: "This is the voice of the people of Dionia!"

The senators understood that this sentence meant that Davos did not refuse the people's request at all, just like he had not postponed the people's request for him to be a lifelong consul in Amendolara.With some disappointment, after a short confirmation, the elders such as Kunogorata and Kunogorata walked forward together. Kunogorata walked in the front. He looked at Dai with a complicated expression. Voss said with a hint of ridicule: "Congratulations, Lord Davos!"

Davos did not avoid his gaze and smiled slightly.

Kunogorata grabbed Davos's right hand and raised it high.

The shouts in the square came suddenly. Both the people and the soldiers were staring at the platform, looking forward to the arrival of that sacred moment.

"After the strong request and election of the people of Dionia, the Senate, after careful consideration, decided to respond to your call and passed a new bill. Now I declare-" Kunogorata looked down at the dense crowds on the square. The crowd suppressed the negative emotions in their hearts and loudly said: "Consul Davos has become the king of the Dionia City-State Alliance!"

There were thunderous cheers in the square...

Captain Xantiparis of the First Legion looked at Davos who was calmly raising his right hand on the platform, and couldn't help but recall the slightly green young mercenary who made a splash at the army conference six years ago. The leader, in just six years, he went from an unknown and lowly mercenary to the king of a powerful alliance of city-states in the Western Mediterranean. Hades really favored this Greek!

The two legion commanders Antonios and Amyntas, as well as the mercenary soldiers in the first and second legions who had followed Daves from Persia to this day, cheered crazily. They witnessed Daves with their own eyes. Si grew from an ordinary mercenary to the king of a powerful city-state alliance in the Western Mediterranean today. This is completely a miracle, and they are all honored!
At this moment, the vast majority of people cheered excitedly that the alliance had a king, and their hearts were no longer worried and confused, and a very small number of people fell into despair...

Davos's heart was also filled with excitement, and he even felt as if he was in a dream: King, did you get it like this? !
An uncontrollable smile filled his face, and he didn't even care that his hand was a little painful from being pinched by Kuno Gorata. The long-awaited goal was successfully achieved, and he didn't allow others to vent!
Davos did not allow himself to be too proud. He took a few steps forward and came to the edge of the platform, getting closer to the people in the square.After the cheers subsided, he said loudly and sincerely: "Citizens of Dionia! People of Dionia! Thank you for your trust in me!

We all know that the Greeks hate kingship, because the king has supreme power, is above the law, and can oppress and humiliate the people of the city-state wantonly, but I am the king elected by you, and my power is given by you, so I am the king. The king will not regard the laws of the alliance as nothing, and I am not a king above me, but the king of the people, a king who must abide by the laws of the alliance just like you!I'm here to make a promise with you..."

Davos slowly raised his right hand, palm facing outward, and said with great caution: "As the king of Dionia, I will promise to do the following. First, the safety of the alliance's territory and people must be guaranteed. I must be bullied and invaded by external forces; secondly, I must ensure the improvement of citizens’ lives and prevent them from falling into poverty; thirdly, I must ensure the normal operation of the Union’s laws and not interfere with the laws. Even if I violate the laws, I will still be punished. Punishment by law.

Lord Hades, if one day I don't work hard to maintain any of these three guarantees, then please don't take care of me anymore!And you—the people of the alliance don't have to support me as the king anymore, this is the promise I, Davos, made as the king! "

At this moment, the soldiers and people in the square were moved by Davos's sincere words. They no longer just regarded choosing Davos as king as a kind of spiritual comfort and a way to obtain the blessing of Hades, but the true feelings in their hearts. accepted the fact that Davos was king.

"King Davos is victorious!!!..." The cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami continued for a long time, expressing their mood at the moment.

Even the elders such as Kunogorata and Cornelus put aside their worries and disappointments. It was beyond their expectations that Davos still made such a promise when he obtained the greatest power in the alliance, and it also made them feel Perhaps they made the right decision. The new king of Dionia they proposed will be the most unique king in the entire Mediterranean country!
..........................................

In the afternoon, Kunogorata and Cornelus left the city of Thurii and came to the military camp in the north.

The originally empty campground was already overcrowded.

After Davos was elected king of Dionia, he neither celebrated nor stayed to continue discussing follow-up matters with the Senate. Instead, he really led the first and third parties on the grounds that the current situation was tense and military should be the main focus. The Second Army Corps left the lively and comfortable city and came to the simple and lonely military camp.Not only did the soldiers not go home, Davos also did not go home to take a look, even though his mansion was not far from the Senate, and even though his beloved wife had just given birth to a child.The strong self-control and endurance of young Davos amazed Kunogorata, who has been in politics for a long time and has met countless people: No wonder he can achieve such a career!
After obtaining permission from the camp guard, the two walked straight to the center of the camp.

The soldiers chatting casually on both sides of the passage would greet them friendly when they saw them. After all, the soldiers of the First and Second Legions were citizens of Turiyi and Amendolara, and these two had made great contributions to the two cities. The elders who have made great contributions are very familiar and respected.

"It can be seen that they are all very relaxed!" Cornelus said while nodding in return to the soldiers.

"After all, they are the strongest force in Dionia, and they also have the most powerful commander in the entire Magna Graecia. If they are nervous, the alliance will be really in danger." Kunogorata said calmly.

"You are right." Cornelus sighed: "It all depends on Davos! But you have to blame him..."

Kunogorata was stunned.

Cornerus smiled and said: "Six years ago, when I was locked up in the Temple of Zeus and prayed to the gods, I never thought that one day Amendolara and this alliance would become the overlord of Scylla in the Western Mediterranean. The enemy Kuza is determined to destroy.”

Cornelus, who only knows how to do things, actually made a joke, which shows how great the impact of Davos' return on improving everyone's morale.Kunogolata can't help but think: If the alliance really defeats Syracuse this time, what will be the future development of Dionia? !

Mersis walked towards them, looking depressed. When he saw Kunogorata and the others, he just nodded and said hello without any interest in talking.

Kunogorata can guess the reason why Melses is so rude: after Davos returns with his army, in order to fulfill his promise, if he wants to repel the powerful enemy and restore peace to Dionia, he must summon More troops, which means that the treasury investment and food consumption must be increased. How could Melses, who regarded money as his life, be in a better mood.

Even Cunogorata and Cornelus couldn't help being deeply worried: there is nothing wrong with expanding the army to repel the enemy.But if the war lasts for a long time, what will happen to the alliance with domestic labor shortage and resource depletion?
Then, they saw several weapons merchants headed by Theos walking towards them. They also had solemn expressions, but when they saw the two senators, they still saluted respectfully and said hello.

"Theos, what kind of weapons did Master Davos ask you to make again?" Kunogolata recognized him, because he was mainly responsible for the overall equipment replacement of the Dionia army, although there were a large number of them. His equipment was traded in for new ones, but he also made a lot of money from it, and he will continue to make money, because new citizens may buy new legion weapons and equipment at his weapons shop.However, he was smart and donated part of the money he earned to public buildings in Dionia. Not only did he quickly become a citizen of Dionia, he also won the favor of many senators and most people.

For this reason, Kunogorata asked casually, but Theos looked embarrassed: "Sir, Lord Davos...King Davos asked us to keep the secret, otherwise-" He made a throat cut The action made the two elders feel shocked.

Cornelus asked hesitantly: "It should cost a lot of money, right?"

Tios and the other two businessmen were even more bitter: "King Davos asked us to make an advance."

Hearing this, the two senators felt relieved: Fortunately, Davos still kept a clear head and did not go to war.

Seeing the two businessmen leaving, Cornaros reminded hesitantly: "Lord Davos has become the king of Dionia. Should our name for him...should be changed?"

Cunogorata was stunned: Yes, even these businessmen have changed their names obediently. As the elders of the Senate, they kept calling 'Master Davers'. This is clearly telling others, but I don’t want to admit it A newly enacted law?
