Daves and Christia assigned a house to the house. Its original owner belonged to Marcellis, the former consul of Amendorara. At the same time, there are two children of Marcellis: a six Year-old daughter Cynthia, a three-year-old son Adoris.
After hearing the news in the afternoon, Christia immediately asked for a few slaves from Melsis and hurried to the house of Marcheris. By the time Daves returned to his new home, the house was basically cleaned up. But he didn’t have time to admire his new home. He even hurriedly took a few bites of bread and met with the two children who were about to adopt. The two children nervously hid behind Kristia and watched him secretly. Christoya, who is only 21 years old, has initially won the trust of these two orphans.
Before he could speak, Asistes hurriedly said: "Bagul has been brought."
Daves hurriedly asked Asistes to take the person to the side room.
After being hungry for a day, Baggul was brought to the side house with his hands tied back. He simply fell to the ground motionless. His physical weakness and mental despair made him have no hope of being alive.
At this time, he heard a low voice coming: "This is the son of the Lucanian leader Weisbah, what the Lucanians call the warrior Baggul?"
Another voice answered: "Yes, Archon."
"Why do you look like a dead dog?" Baggul remained motionless when he heard the ridicule from the people, without even blinking his eyelids.
"Fortunately, Andrea praised me as a warrior. Hehe, I didn't even dare to look at me." The man continued to mock.
This time, Baggul opened his eyes, and what came into his eyes was a man younger than the person who brought him earlier. He was a little surprised because he clearly heard that he was called the Archon.
"Ann...How is Andrea?" His husky, weak voice was full of concern.
Davos didn't make fun of him anymore, instead he stepped forward and said seriously: "She's fine, just begging me to let you out, she wants to be with you."
Bagul closed his eyes, and his blood-stained, black face showed an extremely painful color. He suddenly rolled over and his chest began to rise and fall sharply...
For a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at Davers with tearful eyes: "...get out? Can you let us out?! Will you give us freedom?!"
"What do you think?" Daves sneered: "Think about what you did in Amendorara, slaughtering Amendorara citizens, insulting Amendorara women, and forcing the Amendorara people to engage in The heavy labor detained them in a confined space and only gave them a small amount of water... In less than half a year, the number of citizens of Amendorara dropped sharply from 1,500 to 500. This is all It is the sin committed by you and your people! Amendorara, young, young and old women, up and down, want to eat your meat and drink your blood! You think you can escape this punishment!!!"
Davers' words were like a gust of wind blowing out the candlelight in Baggul's eyes. He was lying stiff on the ground like a puppet, despair shrouded in his face again.
"But—" Daves said, "I, Daves, the new life-time consul of Amendorara will never approve of killings as revenge for killings! Sins committed by the Lucanians Of course it must be repaid, but I hope it will be done in another way."
Bagul's eyes have a little more glamour. He looks up at Daves and can't wait to ask: "What way?"
"The men of your tribe have all become city-state slaves of Amendorara! Usually they are responsible for building roads, repairing city walls, digging ditches, repairing farmland, grazing cattle and sheep... As an auxiliary soldier during the war, they will go out with the citizens!" Dai Firth stared at Baggul.
Bagul was silent for a while. In fact, they treated the Amendorara people in the same way after they occupied Amendorara. God Asinu, this is really retribution! But what he worries most is not the men in the clan: "What about women?"
"Of course they are also city-state slaves. They can shear wool, learn weaving, and play olives... As for the underage girls and widows among them, my soldiers, the new citizens of Amendorara will marry them as wives. !" Daves increased the volume on the last sentence.
Bagule was shocked when he heard the words, turned over and sat up, and looked at Davers in disbelief: "Not a concubine?!"
"Yes, it's his wife!" Daves said affirmatively: "This is my sincerity! I ask you and your people to be slaves for Amendorala for five years sincerely. Any citizen treats you You must all bear the insults silently. Of course, if a city-state citizen attempts to attack you, he will be severely punished. But if your tribe flees or attacks a city-state citizen, then run away, and I will execute ten Lucanis. Yaren! Injure a citizen, and I will execute ten of your clan members too!" At this point, Dafus's expression was a bit ferocious.
Bagul was silent for a while, then asked in a low voice, "What about five years from now?"
"After five years, all of you will become free citizens. If you want to become citizens of Amendorara, you can apply to the city-state. If you want to return to your hometown, we will not stop it, but I think at that time, you probably won’t I am willing to leave again." Daves said confidently: "In addition, if you perform well, such as assisting citizens to win the war, repairing a good road in a short time... etc., then the five-year time limit will be fine. Reduce..."
Bagul’s look at this time is much more energetic than the lifeless look when he came in before. After all, from doomed death to hope of freedom, the joy in his heart can be imagined, and he feels this new The consul’s kindness towards the Lucanians, otherwise he would not allow his soldiers to marry Lucanians and make them relatives with the captive tribe. So he said: "I personally agree with your proposal, and I have to go back to discuss with the people, especially my father. After getting their consent, should we sign an agreement?"
"Agreement?" Daves sneered: "There is no agreement, only agreement."
"What!!" Bagul was taken aback. It was a matter of life and death for his tribe, so he could only rely on a few words from the other party.
"Don’t you know that all the citizens of Amendorara want you to be executed, but I don’t agree with it. (Actually, the new citizens don’t feel bad about the Lucanians. After all, they are not victims, but victors and beneficiaries. In this case. I can only convince them slowly that your good performance and time will wear away their hatred. You are not qualified to sign an agreement with me now, either believe me or go back and continue to be detained. Until I die!" Daves said sternly.
Baguler's face was gray and hoarse, and said, "You are too young...why should we..."
Daves said confidently: "Why? I am the commander of the Allied Forces to defeat Lucania. The soldiers trust me because I have always kept my promise! As Amendorara's life-long consul , The people are also willing to believe me, because I promise to bring safety to Amendorara so that it will never suffer disaster again!"
Baguler looked up at Daves blankly. The strength in Daves' eyes and the honesty in his words made Baghul choose to submit. He said in a deep voice: "I will go back to discuss with the people, if we I agree, I hope you can keep your promise!"
"Of course! In fact, at a certain time, those citizens who become relatives of your tribe will voluntarily ask for your freedom." A smile appeared on Davers's face.
Bagul heard the words, but didn't speak any more, relying on women to fight for their freedom is really a shame for these Lucanian fighters, but who told them to lose the war!
After Bagul left, Daves said to Asistes, who was silent on the side: "Tomorrow, you will be responsible for bringing Bagul to the place where the Lucaria women are held, and let him choose what to do with Soldiers marry women, and then find someone to dress them up. At the same time, you let your uncle Antonios and Capus and the other team officers instigate soldiers who are still single to go to the Senate to make demands and marry Luca. Nia woman!"
"Will the soldiers marry these indigenous wives?" Assistus asked curiously.
"So you are going to spread the rumors that the Lucania woman is tall, well-built, and able to bear hardships and stand hard work..."
"Are these... true?" Assistus doubted. We must know that the Greeks advocating "the beauty of the human body", just "body fitness" this article, can attract the attention of many Greek men.
"Of course it is true. Think about the Lucanians living in the mountains, climbing up and down every day, exercising all the time. Moreover, they are famous for their livestock husbandry in Great Greece, and the Lucaria beef cattle produced are Great Greece The city-states used to enshrine the best offerings of the Temple of Zeus. They eat more meat, and we eat more grains. Who do you think will grow taller?!..." Daves explained seriously.
Asisters nodded suddenly, thinking of the captured Lucanians.
"In addition, marrying a Lucanian woman, as well as a preferential bill of the city-state (actually he came up with it temporarily and has not yet brought it up to the Senate), "If you occupy the land in the Lucanian area in the future, They will prioritize or allocate more land. Because they are the son-in-law of the Lucanians, it is easier to get along with the locals'." Daves further increased the weight of attracting soldiers.
"I'll do this tomorrow." Hearing this, even Asistes was a little moved, but he was still a little confused: "Master Daves, I still don't understand, these Luca The Niya have become our captives. It is only natural for them to be slaves. Why are they so troublesome? What promises should I discuss with them?"
