Chapter 161
Davos urgently recruited Felicius, Cappus, Drakos, Hieronymus, Epithenes and other senior team officials to discuss the countermeasures against the alliance proposed by Laos.

Afterwards, he requested an emergency meeting of the Senate. After discussion, Davos's proposal was approved.

That night, Arobomas was brought to the Davos mansion again.

"How is the distinguished guest from Laos resting?" Davers jokingly said.

Arobmas's eyes wandered, and he saw a few more people around Davos, and asked anxiously: "Lord Archon, have you made a decision?!"

"Yes, our Senate has decided to accept Laos as an ally of the Tua Alliance after discussion!" Davos said with a smile.

"Great!" Arobmas couldn't hide his excitement.Before he came, he heard Avinogis carefully introduce how to negotiate with the Greeks and the procedure of signing the covenant. For such an important matter, the Greeks will definitely hold a meeting. Without two or three days of repeated discussions, there will be no As a result, that's why he urged Daves before. Unexpectedly, it only took a long time for the Tua Alliance to make a decision. This new force is indeed a bit different.

"It's just that I heard that Niutum sent seven to eight hundred warriors to Laos. Can you and your brother easily capture Laos?" Daves asked with concern.

After the previous conversation, Arobmas no longer wondered why Daves knew Laos so well. He said extremely confidently: "We have no problem taking down Laos. Not only do we have more than 1000 soldiers, but also the port Slaves are also descendants of us Sybaris people, and they are also willing to obey our commands! We have lived in the city of Laos for generations, and those new Lucania don’t even know how many lanes there are in the city of Laos, and How can they be our opponents! But after taking Laos, we will definitely be attacked by Niutum or even Grumentum, so we need your support!"

"That is to say, there is not much risk in seizing the city. Capturing Laos may lead to crazy revenge from the Lucanians, right?" Daves asked patiently.

Arobmas nodded involuntarily.

"Then I have a better way for you to obtain Laos smoothly without having to bear the risks later!" Davers' words were full of temptation.

"What can I do?" Arobmas asked hurriedly.

"Help us take Niutum first, and cut off the channel for the Lucanians to go south to rescue Laos. At that time, you don't even need to attack Laos. The Lucanians in the city have lost their backup. I had to surrender.”

What Davos said was indeed very reasonable, which made Arobmas very excited, but he said worriedly: "Although Niutum is not a stone city, it will not be easy to capture. If it cannot be captured quickly, If Grumentum comes to the rescue, our plan will be exposed..."

"We won't attack Niutum by force." Davos laughed.

Arobmas was confused.

"How many warriors are there in Niutum?" Davos then asked.

"There were originally nearly 2000 warriors. After you defeated them, there were more than 800 left. Now 1000 more have arrived in Laos, and there are only more than [-] warriors in the city." Arobmas answered truthfully.

"Apart from these warriors, can anyone else fight?" Davos asked again.

"Others are old people, women, and children. Niutum does not occupy a large area and the land is barren, so it cannot support many tribes. The reason why there are so many warriors is because we, Laos, give it every year. Import a lot of grain!" Arobmas felt hatred rising when he thought of Niutum's oppression and exploitation of Laos for so many years.

Davos smiled: "My request is very simple. I just need you to help us deceive the gate of Niutum, and leave the rest to us."

...........................

Arobmas set out back to Laos, accompanied by Asistes, the scribe under the governor of the Tua League, and Izam, the captain of the mountain reconnaissance team. They carried the covenant and went to meet Avinogi. Si signed the contract, and confirmed that the signer was Avinogis himself, and then further discussed the capture of Niutum and Laos.

At the same time, the senior officers of the Tua Alliance began to secretly mobilize for war while discussing how to attack the Niutum city map left by Arobmas.Although as Arobmas said, there were only more than 1000 warriors in Niutum City, but for the sake of safety, Davers decided to adopt the tactic of lions fighting rabbits. Except for the first group staying in the Tua Alliance, the second, third, and The Seventh Brigade has a total of 3000 people, carrying five days of dry food, and is preparing for a surprise attack on Niutum.

In addition, Davos is also preparing to entertain two people.

"Chief Weisba, please take a seat!"

"Your Majesty the Archon is too polite. I am no longer the leader of the tribe, but just a prisoner of the Tua Alliance." Weisba said calmly.

"That's only temporary. When you become a citizen of the Tua Alliance, you will still be the leader of this tribe!" Davos said as if he was comforting him and making a promise.

Weisba's heart moved.

Davos said to the somewhat restrained Bagule: "Haha, the most famous football running back in the military camp, the road construction has made you stronger, hasn't it, Andrea?"

Andrea, who was following Christoya, blushed and lowered her head without speaking.

"Lord Consul!" Bagule touched his head and muttered with a naive smile.

"Sit down quickly! Sit down quickly!" After Davos asked the guests to sit down, he said loudly: "There are no outsiders here today. Chief Weisba and Bagule are all my old friends! My wife Keli Stoya, you all know her."

Crystal nodded and smiled at the two of them.

"You don't need to introduce me to this one." Davos pointed at Andrea and said with a smile, "I'm still waiting to attend your wedding!"

Both Andrea and Bagule blushed, Vespa was a little helpless, although he didn't like Bagule marrying a Greek woman, but in the current situation, marrying a Greek woman would be of great benefit to the tribe help.

"So we don't pay attention to any etiquette today. You can sit wherever you want and eat however you want! I have prepared some novel food here, which has not been introduced in restaurants yet. You are the first to taste it. I hope you like it!" Davers' words aroused everyone's curiosity. Even Weisba, who doesn't go out much, knows that Kristoya's restaurant is famous in the alliance.

Davos himself took the lead in setting an example and brought a wooden chair to sit at the dining table instead of lying on a recliner. Davos had long been dissatisfied with the sitting posture at Greek banquets, which was completely detrimental to digestion and health.It was originally against Greek tradition that Davos allowed Christoya and Andrea to attend the banquet. However, in Vespa and Bagule Gardens, they felt that Davos was generous and generous, and he really didn't care about them. Be an outsider.

The slaves first brought some fruits and snacks to everyone's table, and then placed a jar of wine and a jar of golden liquid.

Bagule took a sip out of curiosity, and a chill suddenly filled his heart. He couldn't help but ask: "What is this? It tastes so good!"

"The beer that Egyptians drink." Andrea learned and sold it now and explained to her lover: "According to the requirements of the adults, after the slaves carefully brew it, the wine will taste better."

"Well, it tastes better than soft wine. This is the wine for men!" Bagule took another sip and then commented loudly.

Weisba took a sip under the influence of his son, and then drank several sips in silence.

Seeing this situation, Davos smiled at each other and said, "How can you not have good food if you drink beer!"

Crystal immediately signaled Azuna.

Azuna directed the slaves to bring an iron object as high as the wooden table to each table. On top of it was an earthen jar filled with water and some spices. The slaves began to light the wood and put some spices on it. into the iron cavity under the earthen pot.

Weisba and the others looked at all this curiously, while the slaves brought each of them two plates of food.

"Is this mutton?" Weisba said uncertainly, looking at the red and white thin slices of rolled meat on the plate.

"This is mutton. This is beef." Davos pointed at them and said, "I call this food Shabu-shabu beef and mutton slices." As he was talking, the water in the earthen pot was already boiling, and Davos used He took a piece of beef and put it into the earthen pot. He saw the beef tumbling in the boiling water and soon turned white.Davos scooped it up with a wooden spoon with a leaky hole, put it on a wooden plate with dipping sauce, dipped it in a few times, picked it up with his hands, and put it into his mouth with a look of intoxication on his face.

Weisba and the others followed suit. After eating, they all looked surprised. Bagule even said: "I have never eaten such delicious beef. How did you make it?"

"Skin the slaughtered sheep, remove the bones, remove the blood, and then put them in the cellar. Then send people to the mountains to collect a large amount of ice cubes and put them in the cellar. Seal them to make an ice cellar. After a day, the frozen cattle will be frozen. After taking out the mutton, you can cut it into thin and crispy slices with a knife, put it in boiling water, and blanch it until it's cooked..." Davos explained patiently.

"Then what is this thing?" Bagule continued to ask, pointing to the small plate in front of his case.

"That's a dipping sauce, which is used to adjust the taste of beef and mutton. This dipping sauce should be chopped and fermented with sea prawns, shellfish...um... and seaweed, and then added a little spice from India. How to make it specifically Yes, I have to ask my chef."

"This food looks simple, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome!" Bagule sighed, having given up on trying to make it at home in the future.

Davos smiled slightly and turned to ask Andrea: "Our big businessman, do you think my dish of beef and mutton slices will be popular in our restaurant?"
