Chapter 224 We Are Family
Having just sent away the Crotones and ushered in the Dionia army, the people of Crimesa were obviously a little confused about this eye-catching team entering the city.

However, the Dionian army disbanded immediately after arriving at the square along the street.Under the leadership of the team officers, the soldiers used the tools brought in the pack cars to carefully clean the streets full of garbage, smooth the damaged roads, and even help people repair their houses... They worked hard to clean up the desolate urban area after the war.

The people of Crimea were surprised at first, and then slowly tried to talk to these "conquerors". Finally, infected by the enthusiasm of the soldiers for labor, they also joined the ranks of reorganizing their homeland with guilt.The women brought food and water to express condolences to the soldiers, and at the same time told them about the difficulties at home, hoping to get their help. Of course, the soldiers were willing to contribute their physical strength and enthusiasm.

In one afternoon, Crimea, a somewhat lifeless city that has experienced wars, became alive with vitality.

When the members of the former Council of Crimesa saw this scene, they all looked surprised, whispering to each other, and kept talking.

As the former chief general of Crimea, Antaoris considers himself to be well-informed and well-informed. He has never seen or heard of a city-state’s citizen soldiers who, after conquering another city-state, would actually help the conquered The people restore their homes after the war!Like others, he was so surprised and excited that he didn't know what to say: "Lord Davos, this... this is really..."

"From today on, the Crimesa people are citizens of the Dionysian Union. We are all one family! We are one family, so of course we have to help each other, right?" Daves said with a smile.

Looking at the shocked expressions of the people around him, he was very satisfied with the results of this operation.Before coming, he did issue an order for the soldiers to serve as "cleaners", but orders alone could not make the soldiers willing to work. He also told them: because the victory of the war was based on the heroic performance of the soldiers, The citizenship probation period for freedmen who have participated in many battles will be greatly shortened, and it is even possible for soldiers who have performed well on the battlefield to become official citizens directly!As for the victory of this war, Dionia will receive a large amount of land, and all soldiers participating in the war will be rewarded with "land allotments" for their military exploits, and the land allocated in the future will mainly be near Crimea.Therefore, Crimesa will become a new home for some soldiers.Moreover, due to the frequent wars in Crimesa within six months, a large number of male citizens were killed and injured. Now there are more women than men. Davers encouraged single soldiers to use actions to win the favor of women in Crimesa!It is for these reasons that the soldiers do not have the arrogance of victors, but use practical actions to win the favor of the Crimesa people, their future neighbors.

"And you -" Davos continued: "protected the treasury, granary... very well, and were not robbed by Crotone's defeated troops, and handed them over completely to the Alliance. Isn't it because you agreed with Dionysius? Asian Alliance, consider yourself a citizen of Dionia, so you are so considerate! I believe that the Senate of Dionia will definitely recognize your efforts!"

Everyone thought they had received a hint from Davos and looked happy.

Davos also smiled when he saw it, but he knew very well: Although the number of members of the Dionia Senate is still far from full, this time the Senate will definitely proceed with caution and send people to secretly According to the investigation, who are the people with high prestige and appeal among the people of Crimea?Among these people, only those who are really willing to become Dionian citizens and do things seriously will be specially recruited into the Senate.Talking about voting is all a pretense. As a territory that has just been incorporated into the alliance, of course he and the Senate must firmly control Crimea to prevent accidents.

"Master Davos, please follow me to the port and count the supplies we have intercepted from Crotone." It is rare that the former chief general of Crimea can remain calm.

This made Davos look at Antaoris with some appreciation and said, "Okay!"

After inspecting the city of Crimesa, Daves immediately ordered that part of the food and supplies obtained be distributed to the people of Crimesa to compensate them for the losses they suffered due to the war.

This generous act won the favor of the people.At the same time, he ordered Capps to lead 2000 soldiers of the First Army to be stationed in the city. On the one hand, he maintained and stabilized order in the city, and on the other hand, he continued to help the people repair damaged facilities.The rest of the army continued to be stationed in the camp outside the city, and began to fill in traps, pull out iron spikes... and so on, to restore the environment around the camp to normal.Davos politely declined Antaolis' request to invite him to the banquet, and led Ledes's cavalry, accompanied by Hieronymus, to Asprostum.

As we galloped on the vast Croton Plains with slightly undulating terrain, we could see either farmland or villages, as well as criss-crossing canals. Although no human activity could be seen, some villages even had thick smoke.Except for the occasional lost hound, which cast a timid look at them with hatred and kept barking, everything was extremely quiet. This did not affect the good interest of Davos and the group of people. They looked at the area with interest as they walked. Dionia's newly acquired land.

Leders said excitedly: "Although the terrain is not as flat as the Subali Plain, it feels as fertile as the soil and no worse than the Subali Plain!"

"It seems you want to move all your land here." Davos said jokingly.

"My lord, I didn't plan that way. There are people from Crotone next to me, so I feel a little uncomfortable doing anything." Ryders shook his head and said.

"You are still picky about such a fertile land. It's true that the rich don't know the pain of the poor." Davos continued to tease him.

The cavalry also took the opportunity to make fun of the captain.

At this time, Hieronymus beside him said: "No matter how good the land is, it can't be saved without strong power."

Davos was stunned and said: "Yes, we can't learn from Crotone. We must continue to strengthen training and protect our homeland! Especially your cavalry team has made great achievements this time, but you can't be proud and continue to follow. Your captain improves his riding skills and learns new cavalry tactics. I hope you can become an important attacking force in the Dionian army and can determine the outcome of the battle! Do you have this confidence? "

"Yes!!!" the cavalrymen raised their spears and shouted excitedly.

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

Standing on the top of Asprostum, you can look to the west at the endless mountains covered with white snow; to the east, you can overlook the rushing rapids, cliffs, and the green fertile fields of the Croton Plain.When the weather is fine, you can even look to the southeast and get a glimpse of the bustling traffic outside Crotone...

"This is such a good place! The people of Crotone actually handed it over to us!" Davos sighed, stroking the thick battlements.

"Of course it's not that the Crotones want to give it, but that they simply can't take it back!" Bagule said confidently: "The terrain of Asprostum City is very good, and the city is high and has deep ditches. , I only need 2000 people to stop the enemy's attack of 2 people!"

Davos, who had already checked the city defense in detail, nodded in agreement.

"In order to capture this city, Izam's mountain reconnaissance team helped a lot!" Hieronymus's words reminded Davos, and he found this young Dukyan from the accompanying team: " Yizham, your company has made a great contribution this time, and every soldier who participated in the capture of the city must be credited with a great contribution at least once!"

"I would like to thank the Commander for my brothers!" Izam said excitedly, "My lord, my reconnaissance team can play a greater role, as long as you can expand the reconnaissance team to 1000 people!"

Hieronymus and Asistes looked at each other, and the Dukya asked so directly.

Davos didn't take it seriously. He smiled and said: "The role of the mountain reconnaissance team is to reconnaissance, harass the enemy, and destroy it, not to engage in direct combat with the enemy. With so many people, it is not convenient for you to command, and it is also easy for the enemy to discover... ..." Davos did not refuse, but thought about it seriously and said: "It is not impossible to expand the number. I want you to first make an expansion and training plan, how many people will be added, how to organize and train these people. The expanded mountain reconnaissance team will allow this new team to adapt faster and further enhance its special role in wartime... If your plan is feasible, I can discuss with Felicius to expand the mountain reconnaissance team and appoint You are the captain."

"Great, thank you, sir!" Izam shouted with undisguised joy.

"So you want to be the captain, you should have told me earlier!" Asistes took the opportunity to tease.

"You have all become captains, so of course I can't lag behind." Izam said confidently.

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Have all the original residents of the city left?" Davos asked, turning around and overlooking the city.

"The Crotones came to the city, read out the newly signed covenant to the people here, and vigorously mobilized them to leave. They cried and made trouble, but in the end they all left, and there was no one left, and we allowed them to They took home belongings, but they also wanted to take away public property, but we refused, and those are our spoils!" Asistes said.

"It doesn't matter if the residents of Asprostum are gone, it will be convenient for us to emigrate, and firmly control the city in the hands of the Alliance!" Davos also reminded: "You must get Asprostum as soon as possible." Make a clear inventory of the property in Tum and make a list so that one can be given to Laos and Castron."
