Chapter 464
Dyvers could understand his feelings, so he walked over and put his hands on the old man's shoulders. He said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will do my best to save our brave soldiers. If Dionysius dares to kill them again, then I will kill every soldier of Syracuse. Not a single one will be spared!"
Diónia was at a disadvantage in this war, but when the Devers said these words, the two elders felt that victory was in the hands of this young man. It was an indescribable confidence, and the uncertainty in their hearts that was caused by the previous bad situation had disappeared completely.
"Sir Sedorum." The Devers turned to the other Bruti elder and praised him loudly, "As far as I know, in this rebellion, other than Abyssinia, the northwest region of Bruti with Vigo City as the center is the most stable. There were no abnormalities. You and Sir Sarroux played an important role in this! It is because of you that I do not have to worry about Petaru's rebellion! "
"Your Majesty, you flatter us! We are citizens of the Alliance of Diónia, and it is our duty to maintain the unity of the Alliance and the stability of the region! Besides, as people of Bruti, we do not want war to break out in the Bruti region again! "Sedorum, who was usually more sophisticated, said this with sincerity.
The Devers looked at him, and before he slowly walked back to his seat, a decision was brewing in his mind. "Petaru's rebellion is just a small sore on the Alliance. I have more important enemies to deal with, so I can't deal with it personally. However, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. If it drags on, not only will it affect the lives of the people of Bruti, it will also take up a lot of our strength and energy, and we will not be able to put them into the real battle against Syracuse. So, I have decided —"
Just as the Devers was about to speak his mind, the Guard Captain Rodom walked into the tent, "Your Majesty, Sir Cunogorata and Sir Cornelus are here to see you."
"They came at the right time. Let them in quickly." The Devers thought for a moment and knew why they came.
"Yes!" Rodom immediately turned around and left, not even sparing a glance at his uncle.
Therefore, the Devers praised, "Rodom is now an excellent guard captain. I think he is fully capable of carrying out more important tasks!"
Hearing this, Bagylipi felt excited in his heart, but he still said modestly, "There is no more important task than guarding Your Majesty!"
Devers laughed and said, "Young people need more experience. There is no future for you to always stay by my side."
"Your Majesty, you must be joking …"
As the three of them were chatting, Cunogorata and Cornelus walked into the tent. When they saw Bagylipi and Sedorum in the tent, they were stunned for a moment before they greeted them with a smile.
"My lords, you came at the right time. I have a few suggestions to discuss with you." After the Devers invited them to take a seat, they immediately went into the main topic.
"Your Majesty, please speak!" Cunogorata and Cornelus straightened their bodies.
"The rebellion caused by Petaru, Khadurk, and Burgam in the Bruti region must be resolved as soon as possible. At the same time, the situation in the Bruti region must be stabilized so that this region can become one of our important forces in the battle against Syracuse." Therefore, I suggest that Sedorum be appointed as the chief administrator of Cosenza. At the same time, he will also be the wartime governor of the Bruti region. He will be responsible for the security of the entire Bruti region, excluding Abyssinia. He will maintain the stability of the region. He will also have the administrative power of the entire region. Kenapetya and Vig will also have to obey his orders. "
As soon as he said that, the other four people were stunned.
"Your Majesty, you mean … you want to appoint Sedorum as the governor? The kind of … governor of Persia!" Cornelus stammered.
"This is not the kind of governor of Persia! Not the viceroy of Sparta! "Dyvers was a little angry at Kornelus for making a fuss." Listen up, all of you! The wartime governor of the Bruti region that I mentioned just now only has the power of security and administration. He does not have the power to collect taxes or the military. Also, this is a temporary appointment that will be cancelled after the war ends. But … "
Devers said sternly, "During the war, I think it is very important to set it up! The Bruti region is a little unstable now. No one knows what will happen in the future. Once there is a major change, the governors of the Bruti region will not dare to make decisions on their own. They will need to report back to the Senate. They will not be able to formulate a targeted plan to deal with it in time. They will also not be able to gather the resources and strength of the entire region to deal with a bigger crisis. It will only lead to greater danger, and in the end, it will be out of control … With the wartime governor in charge of the affairs of the Bruti region, we can deal with it in time! "
"Your Majesty, what you said is reasonable. But, Sedorum is … "Cornelus wanted to say more, but Cunogorata secretly pulled him and asked loudly," Your Majesty, if Sedorum becomes the governor of Cosenza, should we recall Hilos? "
"No need. Hilos will be the commander of the Bruti region. He will be responsible for commanding the troops and assisting the wartime governor to stabilize the situation in the Bruti region. "Devers had already thought about it.
So that's it! After all, Cunogorata was not an ordinary person. He immediately understood the Devers' intention. As for the Devers' sudden proposal of "setting up a new position with such great power", he thought it was indeed an appropriate measure to deal with the turbulent region during the war. As for letting Sedorum take the position, he also thought it was a very good proposal, even though he was wary of the mutated race in his heart. This showed the absolute trust of the Diónia Senate in the Bruti region. At the same time, letting the Bruti people manage the Bruti region would be more acceptable to the Bruti people during this sensitive period …
And the Devers only let Hilos control the military power of the Bruti region, which made him completely relieved about the seemingly risky proposal of the Devers. Although it was said that Hilos would listen to the wartime governor's command, if the governor was disloyal, who would Hilos, who was loyal to the Devers, listen to? Needless to ask!
Cunogorata took a deep look at the Devers. The young man often made such seemingly bold proposals, but the implementation was effective and reasonable. Such political skills made Cunogorata respect and fear the Devers. So once the Devers made a major political decision, he usually did not oppose it, including the previous matter of becoming king.
"Your Majesty, I agree with your proposal. 'Let Sedorum be the governor of Cosenza and the wartime governor of the Bruti region, and at the same time, let Hilos be the commander of the Bruti region." Cunogorata immediately expressed his approval.
At this moment, Cornelus also understood. So what if he did not agree? Now that there were not many senators in the Diónia Senate who could participate in the meeting, the Devers, two Bruti senators, one Lucania senator, Marigi, Merces, Plesinas, and now Cunogorata … The Devers had already obtained more than half of the votes. Moreover, the gentle Cornelus did not want to make the Devers unhappy when he had just become king. So, he then reluctantly expressed his approval.
Sedorum did not expect the Devers to give him such an important position. He was shocked and excited, so he did not take Cornelus's vigilance against him and the fact that the Devers let Hilos be in charge of the army to heart. In the years since the Bruti merged into the Diónia Alliance, the number of Bruti senators who became the Senate far exceeded the number of Lucanians. However, in terms of real power, they were much weaker. In the early days, no Bruti senator left Turií to become the governor of any city in Diónia. It was not until last year that Sarroux was elected as the governor of the least important city in the Bruti region – Vigo. It was certain that the Bruti senators had complaints, which was also one of the reasons why Petaru and the others rebelled. However, during the sensitive period when the Bruti region was in turmoil and the races were suspicious, the Devers resolutely gave him such an important position. This was an affirmation of his ability and trust in him. How could he not be excited?
"Your Majesty, I will definitely quell the rebellion as soon as possible so that the Bruti can regain peace as soon as possible so that we can gather soldiers and food resources to fight against the people of Syracuse!" Sedorum immediately made a promise.
"Do you have any good ideas to deal with the Burgam rebels who have been wandering in the mountains?" the Devers asked.
Sedorum knew that this was a test from the Devers, and also a chance for him to show his ability to Cunogorata and Carnellus. He thought for a while and said, "The terrain in the mountains is complicated, and it is not suitable for an army to attack. I will suggest that Lord Hilos send an army to station near Lake Lala to force the rebel army of Burgam to not dare to come out of the mountains … At the same time, issue a decree that any tribe that helps Burgam or hides his whereabouts will be regarded as an accomplice. Once discovered, the entire tribe will be reduced to slaves! If the traces of the rebel army are reported in time, they will be rewarded, and the tribe that takes the initiative to fight with the Judgement Army or even capture Brim will be given the land of the Burgam tribe as a settlement! If the people of Burgam take the initiative to repent, capture Burgam and come forward to surrender, the Alliance will forgive their betrayal! In addition, we will gather a small team of Bruti hunters to enter the mountains to search for the traces of the rebel army. Once found, we will keep harassing them. The mountains are sparsely populated, there is no food, and without the help of other tribes, the rebel army will soon fall into chaos due to hunger and fear … "
