Chapter 176 Davos’s visit ([-])

"Hehe, that's because he hasn't played enough himself!" Davos said, with interest: "Do you want to play?"

"Of course I want to!!..." The youths in Lucania rushed to answer.

"Okay! I'll be the quarterback. Which of you is willing to form a team with me to challenge the winner of their game?" Davers said loudly.

"I do!" Xima shouted hastily.

Urazza also stepped forward immediately... A team of 55 people was soon formed. Except for Davos and the guard captain Martius, who were Greeks, the rest were all young people from the Lucalia tribe.Davos led them towards the arena, who were extremely excited. More Lucanians followed. The guards did not stop them because of Davos' previous instructions, so they could only move the 55 people away. People are in the middle.

Cesta hurriedly grabbed Capps, hoping that he would command the soldiers of the first brigade to maintain order on the field.

The family members of the fourth brigade were arranged to enter the city, while the Tuliyi elders walked slowly towards the stadium.

"Weisba, have you really become a senator of the Deoria Alliance Senate as your son said?!" Hermon looked at Weisba among the senators with envy. He was wearing the same clothes as other senators. He seemed to have the aura of a big shot in his every move.

This kind of envious gaze greatly satisfied Weisba's vanity. Hemon was not the only one who showed such an expression. Many former acquaintances also looked at him differently. It was a mixture of surprise, fear and respect. , which made Weisba feel like he was returning home in fine clothes, and this sense of pleasure drowned out his guilt of seeking refuge with the "enemy".

"Of course it is true!" Weissba replied affirmatively, imitating other senators, shaking Bolton's sleeves, revealing the purple sleeves that symbolize the senators of the Senate: "Didn't the consul just say Isn’t it, ‘the League belongs to the Greeks and the Lucarians’, so it is normal for Lucanians to enter the Senate of the League and become senators!”

"Master Davos is indeed very friendly to us Lucanians. The fact that he was recognized by those young people so quickly shows that he sincerely has no prejudice against the Lucanians! But -" Hermon said to the front Those Tuliyi elders pointed secretly and whispered: "Their attitude seems to be worse."

"There is no way! They are either Turii or Amendolara. They have all suffered from us Lucanians. It is impossible for them to change their attitude in a short time. Lord Davers said , 'It will take time to slowly change them'. Fortunately, the main decision-maker in the alliance is the Archon!" Weisba also whispered candidly.

"What do you do as a senator of the Senate?" Hermon asked curiously.

"Propose suggestions, pass bills, discuss major events that occur within the alliance, and assist the consuls to come up with solutions..." Weisba said with a slight complacency: "Sometimes I have to be responsible for some specific matters. For example, I am now Responsible for the affairs of Lucania citizens and the Lucania region. As long as there are issues related to Lucania, the Senate will seek my opinion first. I can also put forward my own suggestions and advice on safeguarding the interests of Lucania people. The plan is like... um... um... like levying a 5.00% tax on the Lucanian citizens of Niutum. This is my suggestion. Originally, all Greek preparatory citizens in the alliance were charged for renting land. Ten percent..." This was obviously Vespa's bragging. When this proposal was passed, he had not yet entered the Senate.

"Oh! You have done a great thing for us!..." Hermon looked at him with admiration, which made Weisba even more proud. Fortunately, he had not forgotten his main mission in coming to Niutum: "It's just There are only two Lucanians in the Senate: me and Bagule. Bagule may always be in Niutum in the future. I am too weak to argue with so many Greek senators and cannot defend Lukania. Kania citizens strive for more benefits! Alas..."

"Then...can other Lucarians also become...senator of the Senate?! This can also help you and obtain more benefits for us Lucarians!" Hermon asked eagerly.

Weisba secretly laughed in his heart: What other Lucanians are you yourself?What are you pretending to be? It’s not like I don’t know what kind of person you are, Hermon!

He cleared his throat and said: "Of course, as long as he can make a big contribution to the alliance, such as allowing more Lucarian tribes to join the alliance, gaining the support of more Lucarians, and being able to join the Alliance Complete some difficult tasks in the Carnia region... Wait, let the Senate feel that he can play a greater role in Lucania's affairs, then it will be an easy thing to become a senator of the Senate..."

Hemon listened carefully, with a burning light shining in his eyes...

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

In the evening, Davos and the senators listened to Cesta's report at the Chief Executive's Mansion.

"As of today, there are 2000 preliminary citizens registered in Niutum, of which 620, 780 are Lucarians and [-] are Greeks. During these days , there were [-] mixed marriages between Greeks and Lucanians. We allocated [-] five cattle and [-] sheep, leaving [-] cattle and [-] sheep ready to be distributed to the The soldiers of the fourth group." When Asistes said this, Bagule immediately expressed his gratitude.

"Now Niutum's small tribes, captives, and slaves have all become reserve citizens of the alliance. If the Fourth Brigade settles here, then Niutum will have a total of 450 citizens including reserve citizens..." As soon as Asistes finished speaking, Davos said directly: "I can tell you clearly that the Fourth Brigade will settle in Niutum and become the backbone of stabilizing and defending Niutum!"

"This is exactly what the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade want! As citizens of the alliance, we will definitely control Niutum firmly in the alliance!" Bagule said solemnly.

The elders nodded one after another, and they were satisfied with this answer.

"Lord Sesta, Bagule and Asistes, you were able to stabilize the situation in Niutum in such a short period of time and achieve so many achievements. On behalf of the Senate, I would like to express my gratitude to you for your outstanding performance. With heartfelt respect!" With that said, Davos took the lead in applauding with the elders.

All three of them seemed a little excited during the applause: Sesta was excited because he used his performance to prove to Davos that his talents were no worse than those of the leaders who expedition to Persia, thereby attracting the consul's attention; Bagule He was excited because the performance of him and his Lucanians was recognized by these Greek senators, making it easier to integrate into this alliance; Asistes was excited because he proved to Davos that he had the ability to serve independently , maybe Davos will give him a more important task next time.

"In addition, I heard from Bagule that the leaders of the small tribes such as Hermon, Kesima, and Ulaza are going to send people to the mountains to persuade the tribes who fled into the mountains to come down and join the alliance. In the past two days, there have been people from Laos. Niutum asked to join the alliance," Asistes added.

"Our cattle and sheep have been depleted, what should we do?" Scombras asked hurriedly.

"These tribes all have livestock, we just need to allocate them land, and we have enough land." Bagule replied.

"Even if the 'fertile land in the mountains' has been allocated in the future, it can still be allocated to Turiyi. Now that the land in Turiyi has been handed over to preparatory citizens for leasing, there is still a lot of land to the west that is vacant (mainly in Kosei The high-lying land west of the Ni and Delos rivers) had been prepared to be leased to freedmen who were registered to apply for preliminary citizenship." Davers reminded everyone.

Some elders nodded, while others hesitated.

"As for the Laos people, we have to put it aside until Avinogis comes and discuss it later." Davos said hesitantly.

"Will Avinogis come?" Masissachus asked uncertainly.

"He must come!" Protesilaus shouted: "The alliance helped him capture Laos, and he has not expressed his gratitude to us. Now that we have arrived at Niutum, and he has not come, how can we, as the leader of the alliance, We can’t go to Laos!”

"Maybe he doesn't know we're coming yet." Cesta said a kind word for Avinogis.

"Laos has always been in contact with Niutum. With so many of us and such a large formation, it is impossible for him not to get the news. We will know whether he will come tomorrow. If he doesn't come, then we need to reconsider. Let’s see how sincere Laos is to the alliance!” Davos understood that Sesta, as the administrator of Niutum, would need Laos’s help in the future, but as the consul, Davos needed to get help from a higher level. Consider the overall situation.

Davers' words made the elders agree.

"Sesta, Bagule, after you have settled the people of Niutum, you must arrest them for military training. I will ask Felixius to send instructors over for training. You must disperse the young people of each tribe and try to Mix with Greek citizens, and if there are not enough Greeks, mix with other tribes. The warriors of each tribe must not be reunited! Also... rugby games can be held as many times as possible. I see the young people in Lucalia I love this game!"

"Yes, sir. Kesima and the others have told me many times that rugby games are much more interesting than bullfighting. We Lucanians love this intense sport!" Bagule interjected.

"Then let them compete, but it must be a mixed team of Greeks and Lucanians. This will also help the Lucanians learn to speak Greek. Oh... Speaking of this, Bagule, You have to think of a way to make the Lucarians in Niutum learn to speak Greek as much as possible!"

"I'll try my best, my lord."
