lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

Subsequent elections were held by the Citizens' Assembly, and Lucias, who brought peace to Crotone, became the chief general. Although he ceded the territory was criticized by many people, more than 10,000 citizens returned to their hometowns. The soldiers thanked him for saving them from **** in time, so most of them voted for him. At the same time, he became a general and Ciss Protis, who participated in peace talks with Lycias. For a time, the conservatives in Crotone's General Executive Committee clearly had the upper hand.

But the top priority is to repel Lockley and rescue the allies. Crotone’s newly formed cabinet of ten generals is very clear. After careful consideration, they decided to appoint three commanders with rich combat experience who had been captured by Dionia as their generals.

So, the soldiers who had just returned to Crotone had to go out again. 15,000 soldiers (including 10,000 heavy infantry) were recruited. In addition, 4,000 freemen were recruited. After preparing their rations, they immediately reported to Kaulun. Niya heads forward.

Someone in the council raised an objection, asking: keep more citizens to protect the emptied inner city of Crotone.

Although Lycias is conservative, he is not cowardly. Not only did he disagree, he even sent an envoy to Asprostum to tell the Dionia garrison: Crotone is now empty in the city, if necessary Hope to get help from the allies.

While receiving a clear response from Asistes, the Crotone Fleet, under the leadership of the Navy Commander Ascamas, made more than 60 warships, large and small, sailing towards Correnia.

……………………………

Just as Crotone’s battle with Lokri was about to happen, the Dionian Senate voted for five candidates for Crimea to enter the Senate, Anta Auris, Eurikpus, Pleads was selected.

This event is just an appetizer for today's long Senate meeting, followed by a reward for the soldiers who participated in this Crotone War. Due to the fact that there were too many people participating in the war, the military officer Felicius and the household registration officer Rafias only determined a rough figure at the meeting: about 7,000 official citizens will receive 1 to 3 acres of land based on their military exploits. The suggestion of the elders headed by Daves is to allocate as much land as possible to the cities where citizens live. Of course, if they change voluntarily, they should be satisfied;

Next are about 15,000 registered free citizens who participated in the war. Due to the victory of several consecutive battles, according to the law, more than half of them will go directly to the inspection period of official citizens. A large amount of land and two cities urgently need a lot of manpower to occupy these lands and guard the new cities. Therefore, although the formal citizenship inspection period has not expired, the Senate decided to grant them to Crimea and Asprestum. And the five acres of land in the northern plains of Croton, because they have not yet become official citizens, so during this inspection period, the tax paid is still 10% of the land income, and it is reduced to 100% until they become official citizens. One-half of the land tax;

For the nearly 6,000 freedmen who participated in the war, the inspection period for them to become prospective citizens will be halved. At the same time, they will be given priority to rent the land of the city state, and of course the 20% tax burden will remain unchanged;

For soldiers who died in the war, whether citizens or free citizens, as long as their relatives are still alive, the Senate will be rewarded as normal soldiers, and at the same time generous pensions will be given, mainly from the spoils of war.

The entire award and distribution will be mainly done by the agricultural officer Burks and the household registration officer Rafias, with the assistance of the three legion chiefs of Capus, Dracos, and Hilonimus.

"The citizens of Dionia are called accordingly, fulfill their duties, and fight bravely for the alliance. As the helm of the alliance ship, the Senate, we must give them corresponding praise and care in a fair and just manner, and we must not let our warriors We shed tears at the same time! Only in this way can more people be encouraged to contribute more to the prosperity and strength of the alliance!..." Finally, Daves reminded Burkos who was about to do something with a passionate speech. them.

The next discussion is about the candidates for chief executive of Crimea and Asprestom.

There are many veterans who signed up for the election of Crimea, because it is a seaport city, with good conditions, and the residents are all Greeks. Although it is adjacent to Crotone, it has become an alliance after all, and there are Ass Prusstum is at the top, and the ruling environment is relatively safe.

The result of the final vote turned out to be that Scombrus got the highest number of votes, which surprised some people. But when you think about it carefully, although Scombrus is a violent temper, he is quick to talk, and if you make a mistake, he can correct it. Not much scheming, and willing to help younger generations, so many people are happy to associate with him.

According to the laws of Dionia, Daves has the final veto power of any proposal by the Senate, but he rarely uses this right as long as the proposal is reasonable. Just like now, he believes that the candidate for the chief executive of Crimea is not bad, and Scamblas's straightforward and close-to-the-people character may win the favor of Crimeans who are also hostile to the Dionians. . So he was the first to congratulate Scombras.

"Consultant, don't worry. I will make the Crimean people recognize the Dionian Alliance as soon as possible, and at the same time coordinate the relationship between the locals and the new immigrants..." Scombras was energetic. Assure Daves.

There is an elder in the family. If there is a treasure, Scombras, who is over fifty years old, has not yet taken office. He has grasped the two major problems that need his energy to solve after he became the chief executive of Crimea. , So Daves smiled and said: "With you in Crimea, there is nothing to worry about in the Senate!"

As for the candidate for the chief executive of the city of Asprestum, Daves said beforehand: Asprestum is different from Crimea. It is located in the upper middle and upper reaches of the Neto River and has a southwest direction from time to time. For the harassment of the Brutis coming from the south, we must be alert to and deter other Greek city-states from coveting the northern plains of Croton, and at the same time, we must coordinate the relationship with the Crotones.

In addition, Daves also told the elders: There are many Lucanian fighters willing to move to Asprostum. As a result, with the exception of the Lukaria region (including Niutum, of course), Asprostum has the highest proportion of Lucania residents among the cities of the Dionian League. Therefore, the requirements for the chief executive of Asprostum are relatively high. First of all, he must have relatively strong military talents, but also have a certain amount of administrative experience, and also have a strong coordination ability, and at the same time allow those who join Dio It didn't take long for Nia, and some free and loose Lucanians obeyed.

For the veterans of Amendorara and Turri who have suffered from the war, let them respond to the war independently, and there is always an indelible fear in their hearts; Weisba and Hermon are involved in Luca Regarding the issue of Nia, I love to actively make suggestions, but when it comes to the affairs of the Greek city-state, I always watch and act as a voter calmly; most of the veterans of mercenaries are unwilling to handle administrative affairs, or have insufficient ability, and have a stronger administrative ability. People such as Antonios, Alexis and others held important public positions and could not leave. Therefore, when the rotating chairman Cornelius announced that those who were willing to serve as the chief executive of Asprostum, please raise their hands, no one responded for a while.

Davers was also a little surprised when he saw this place, but there was a person's name in his mind-Asistus. It's just that Asistes is not a member of the Senate and cannot serve as the governor of the city according to regulations. He realized at this time that he had not become a member of the Senate and a former mercenary member before the promulgation of the "Dionian Union Public Service Act." It has become difficult to re-enter the Senate and become a senator. For these guys who are mostly only thinking about fighting, it is undoubtedly impossible for them to reinvest in administrative affairs and move up one level at a time. It seems that it is necessary to add several provisions specifically for the entry of senior generals into the Senate in the "Public Service Law"...

Davos thought about it, but saw that one of the people in the crowd raised his hand-Hilos, who turned out to be Hilos, the former captain and the most powerful confidant of Daves!

Some time ago, Daves was busy with business, and Hiros served as the captain of the Amendorara patrol. Except for meeting in the Senate meeting, there were few opportunities for the two to meet. The performance is still understandable: With the prosperity of storage, accommodation, and food in the city of Amendorara, a large influx of foreign populations has not occurred, but there has been no major conflict. Shiros’s performance is very important, his ability to deal with emergencies and The fairness of coordinating and resolving conflicts between residents and outsiders has won praise from the people of Amendorara and the chief executive Cornellus. As for military talents, Daves gave him the evaluation that he was good at holding heavy soldiers, which happened to be suitable for Asprostum in a special geographical position. I believe that with his rich mercenary experience, it is not a big deal to subdue those Lucanians. problem. As for administrative experience...

Daves thought for a while: You can let Asistes stay in Asprostum for a while to help Hiros deal with government affairs. I believe that with Hiros's earnest learning attitude, he will soon be able to govern independently.

After waiting for a long time, Shiros was the only one. Cornelus reluctantly announced that the candidate for the chief executive of Asprostum was Hilos.

"I agree with Hiros as the chief executive of Asprostum, he is the most suitable candidate!" Daves first expressed his support clearly.

Subsequently, Capus, Antonios and others also agreed, and the candidate for the chief executive of Asprostum was determined. Only Cornelus sighed: "Although I want to congratulate Hiros very much, I have to express my regret for the loss of an excellent patrol captain for Amendorara!"
