"That is our Dionia's spoils, and it has nothing to do with Laos or Castellon!" Butler immediately expressed his objection.
"Bagul, don't worry. Do you know how the Dionian League covenants are stipulated?" Davers asked patiently.
Bagul shook his head. He became a Dionian citizen for only half a year. Even the laws of the alliance have not been fully understood yet, and he has no idea about these treaties.
"When a war occurs in the League of Dionia, all allies need to send troops to participate in the war, and the spoils obtained are distributed fairly..." Asistes said from the side.
"Yes, fair distribution!" Daves emphasized loudly: "As an ally of Dionia, Laos immediately dispatched 3,000 people after learning that we had declared war with Crotone. Archon Avinojis personally led; and Castellon not only refused Crotone’s solicitation, but also gave us a great help in the battle. These two allies gave Dionia all their support in the war. , Could it be that our Dionia was so stingy that we would not even give them a share of the trophies, so which city-state would be willing to play with us in the future! I see, it doesn’t matter even if we distribute all the trophies to them, because we still have it. More precious things—"
Daves slowly uttered a word in the face of Hironimos, Baggul and Asistus: "Land!"
The three immediately understood: The spoils of war can be shared, but the land won by the war is solely owned by Dionian. Dionian's use of allied soldiers to expand his territory is actually a very cost-effective business.
"Master Commander, speaking of land. There is a situation that needs to be reported to you." Asistes interjected, "Many Lucaria soldiers in the Third Army felt that the surrounding area of Asprostum The mountainous land in China is very suitable for grazing, and the environmental conditions for grazing are even better than Niutum. They asked me to get a share here."
"You mean they asked for "parts" for themselves?" Daves reacted extremely quickly, and immediately heard what Asistes was saying.
"Yes." Asistes said embarrassingly, "Because their tribe has allocated settlements in Niutum before, I don't know if they can personally get land again?"
Davers did not answer directly, but looked at Baggul and asked: "Do you know this?"
"I know." Bagula answered truthfully: "Asistes discussed with me that most of the fighters who asked for a'part of land' for themselves came from the various tribes of Niutum. They saw Greek soldiers can own their own land, but they have to share it with the tribe, so they put forward the request of'leave the tribe and live alone'."
Davers stared at him and continued to ask: "Do you think their request makes sense?"
"I think it's very reasonable!" Baggul replied without hesitation, without considering Davers's feelings after listening to it, making Asistes a little worried: "The'part' of the warriors' desperate fight. They should have their own, and become independent, which is more conducive to their integration into the Dionian League."
A smile appeared on Davers's face: "You can think like this. I'm glad! But what will the leaders of the Lucanian tribe think?"
"I don’t think they would oppose it." Baggul apparently thought about this issue. He said: "In the past, the Lucanian tribe recruited people to survive and strengthen themselves. Now they are already Under the protection of the Alliance of Dionia, there is no longer a crisis of survival. On the contrary, the departure of these soldiers will make the land in the hands of the tribe richer, which is a good thing."
"I agree to give these Lucania fighters who demanded independence." Daves' words made Bagul and Asistes look happy, but Daves thought and paced back and forth. : He is happy to see these tribes of Lukaria being dismantled and finally integrated into the alliance, but he is worried that the excessive actions will arouse the resentment of these small tribe leaders, which will not be conducive to the future of Dionia to the Lukania area. So be cautious: "But before that, after returning to Turiyi, I will send your father and Himon to Niutum to test the attitude of the tribal leaders and try to convince them. Therefore, The allocation of these soldiers' land may be delayed..."
Bagul and Asistes agreed.
"If part of the soldiers of the Third Army also settle here, the training and assembly of the entire army will be very troublesome in the future!" At this time, Hieronymus raised objections.
Davers laughed and said: "Not only the 3rd Army, there will be many soldiers in the 1st and 2nd Army, who will settle in Asprostum and Crimea. Who told us to do this? So much land is soon obtained. If the land is not allocated to the citizens who have made military exploits in the legion, the prepared citizens, and the registered free citizens, shouldn't the land be left idle so that the enemy can attack! When the land is allocated, I am afraid. There are more than three legions...The specific personnel arrangements and establishment, I will work with Felicius (military officer), Rafias (household officer), Burcos (agricultural officer), and you, Karp Si, Drax, and the captains gathered together to discuss a suitable plan..."
Hironimos reluctantly agreed, but Bagul and Asistes were a little excited: the expansion of the team means that they also have the opportunity to become the commander of the legion.
At this moment, Daves also realized: less than a year after coming to Turei, he has gone through four wars. With successive victories, whether it is land, population, or army, it is like blowing air. It seems to expand so fast! Maybe it's time to stop and integrate the inside of the alliance!
"Hey, isn't that Aristocrates!" Izam said suddenly.
Everyone hurriedly looked down the city and saw: Aristocrates rode up to the moat and was about to beckon to call the door.
It's getting dark, and Aristocrates is still running to find himself. There must be something important! Thinking of this, Daves hurriedly went down town.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the city, Aristocrates had already entered the city. When he saw Daves, he was tired, but he smiled: "Master Daves, today I brought you from the letter from Turey. Here comes good news! Congratulations, your wife gave birth to a son for you yesterday morning!!"
Davers was ecstatic in his heart, he immediately took a deep breath, but his excitement did not diminish at all: "Child! I have a child!!! My child!!!..." Daves suddenly hammered. Hironimos beside him yelled excitedly.
"Congratulations, sir! This is Hera's blessing!!!..." Hironimos, Baghul, Assistus and others, including the soldiers around who knew the news, all expressed to Daves congratulate.
Davers smiled from ear to ear, and embraced them one by one to express their inner joy, and at the same time teased them: You must work harder and not fall too far behind him.
Then he planned to rush back to Crimea with the escort, quickly arrange everything, and then rush back to Turri at night, but was blocked by Hieronymus and others, even at the risk of violating it. Daves' wishes forced him to stay in Asprostum for the night. Because the sky was dark, and when I went back, it was down the mountain road and dense rivers, and the war had just ended. In case of any accident, they would not be able to explain to the Dionian people.
…………………
The next afternoon, Christia finished feeding the child and fell asleep.
Asuna was holding the child in the courtyard for a while, and she found that the child was pulled, she had to go back to the bedroom outside, wipe it clean with warm water, put on brand new diapers, and ordered the other female slaves to take the dirty clothes. Go wash.
Then, she put the child back in the crib, sang to the child by herself, and the child closed her eyes gradually, and Asuna took advantage of her free time to lie down on the bed and take a nap. In a daze, she felt someone pat her shoulder: "Asuna."
She woke up immediately, and when she looked back, she couldn't believe her eyes: "Master, you are back!"
Davers made a silent gesture: "How is Christoya's health?" He asked in a low voice.
"Master Helps said that she and the child are very healthy, but the wife still needs to take care of her for a while, and she is now asleep in the bedroom." Asuna whispered, moving away: "Master, you Come and see the little master, he is very cute!"
Davos tiptoed forward, looking carefully at his child with excitement and curiosity. In fact, the child who was just a few days old had red and wrinkled skin and was not good-looking. But Davers looked so fascinated, he couldn't help but stretched out a finger and gently touched the child's red face.
The sleeping child seemed to feel itchy and scratched his face with his small hands.
Davers was very funny and touched him again.
While the child stretched out his hands and scratched his face, he opened those big and bright blue eyes. The father and son looked at each other at close range, and then the child curled his mouth and started crying "Wow".
Whether it is in the past or in this life, Daves is the first time to be a father, completely inexperienced, and immediately at a loss.
Asuna picked up the child calmly and began to tease softly.
"Azuna, is the baby hungry again?" Kristoya's weak voice came from the bedroom.
"No, the master is back!" Asuna said excitedly.
"Ah!" Kristonia yelled in surprise.
Davers walked quickly into the bedroom and saw Christoya lying on the bed slightly tired, but her complexion was not bad.
"You are back!" There was joy in her eyes.
"I'm back!" Daves sat on the edge of the bed, leaned over and kissed his wife.
"Thank you!" he said softly.
Christoya supported her body and nestled in Davers's arms, her face filled with happiness: "Did you see our children?!"
