"It's impossible!" Several laborers shouted in unison with expressions of surprise.

The others seemed to have forgotten the soldiers standing around, there was a noise.

Martius hit the long shield with his short sword again, quickly restoring calm in the court.

Adrius continued to say loudly: "Because this Hades priest is a Dionian, my father decided to believe the words of the lifesaver, so he took us to Enona... until now, Eight years have passed. My father is already a Dionian citizen. Not only does he own his own land in Enona, he also serves as a public office in the kingdom. I have studied at Enona School for 4 years at a very low cost. I learned to write in Greek, and got admitted to Enrona's public office as an adult. I got a lot of salary every month. My brother is still studying at school... Now our family lives in a wealthy, respected family, and will never pay more attention to it. The current situation of being oppressed and starved..."

After Adrius finished speaking, the room fell into silence for a while, and the laborers looked at the young speaker dubiously: Although he was also a Latina with black hair and black eyes, he was well-proportioned, fair-skinned, and transparent. With an elegant temperament, it is obviously incomparable to them who work hard at the dock every day, and fall into the body with injuries. They do have a little change.

Clotokatax listened to Adrian and looked at him carefully. He didn't expect that the humble little official who was just next to them would be so extraordinary. Encounter, which made him curious about him.

Davos saw the people fall into silence, so he hit the iron while it was hot, and immediately pointed to the other transmitters and said loudly: "Except for Adrian, they are all Latin, but they are all Latin. Are Dionian citizens. In recent years, many of you Latins have become Dionian citizens. Why?

Because these city-states in Latin are controlled by the nobles, they oppress the common people and make them unable to live, and our Dionian Kingdom treats all citizens equally, every citizen is allocated land, and every citizen’s The land is protected by law! anyone! Regardless of whether he is a rich man or a nobleman, as long as he dares to plunder the wealth of the common people, he will be severely punished by the court. Therefore, they live in peace in the Kingdom of Dionia. This kind of food and peace of worry-free life is yours now. What you can't enjoy in the city-states! "

When talking about this, the speakers next to them nodded repeatedly with sincere expressions.

In fact, Daves has exaggerated the number of Latin citizens in the Kingdom of Dionia. The real number is not more than ten. This is because Daves specially asked the Minister of Household Registration Rafias to look it up in the kingdom before he went out. Yes, they are mainly concentrated in Enona. The main reason is that the Latina area is not adjacent to the Kingdom of Dionian. In addition, the sea trade of the Latin city-state is underdeveloped and the port is backward, so there is little information exchange with the outside world. Most of them are mainly engaged in farming, and the farmers are all resettled. In addition, the language and culture of Dionian and Latin are quite different. It is not a last resort, and few people are willing to go to the south.

But now Daves saw the laborers on the court listening carefully, all thoughtful, their eyes gleaming, he knew they were tempted.

At this time, someone in the slave group shouted: "Can we also become Dionian citizens?!"

When Adrius translated the other party’s words to Daves, he did not expect that the slaves would be the first to take action. He immediately said: "No matter what your origin or race, as long as you have the will to become Dionian citizens, and are willing to abide by the laws of Dionian, and are willing to fulfill the obligations that the Kingdom of Dionian requires citizens to perform. We in the Kingdom of Dionian welcome you to join and will give you Dionian All the rights that citizens should enjoy!"

Davers finished speaking and waved to the side.

Martius immediately asked the court guards around him to take off their helmets, and it was obvious that their hair color and appearance characteristics were quite different. As a unit with a special status and long-term contact with King Davos, the Palace Guard has been known for its complex ethnic composition in the Kingdom of Dionian in recent years, because it needs to publicly show that the head of the kingdom treats all races equally. And now this practice has played a very good demonstration effect on alien land. Coupled with the competition of slaves, the laborers are no longer reserved.

"How can I become a citizen of Dionia?" Several workers asked almost in unison.

"This is my clerk Hernipolis. Next, he will give you a detailed description of the process you need to go through to become a Dionian citizen. You can ask him any questions, and he will give you details Answer it." Daves pointed to Hernipolis, who was holding a plank beside him and was nervously recording, and said to them.

Henipolis hurriedly put away the planks and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I will make them satisfied."

Finally, Davers faced the crowd and asked loudly: "Which of you has stayed in Rome, and is very familiar with every block and corner in the city, and also has an understanding of the nobles in Rome? I want to invite him to be my adviser. Of course, this is paid, and if he is willing to become a citizen of Dionia, this will help him shorten the number of years he becomes a citizen."

As soon as the voice of the speaker fell, many people in the court immediately raised their hands.

After some questioning, Daves selected a slave named Valks because he was a Roman citizen.

When Daves first came in, slaves and laborers were full of fear; when he left, these people looked away with respectful eyes.

Daves looked back at the sight of the people surrounding Hernipolis eagerly inquiring in the clearing illuminated by the torches. He felt that this was a good start, because in his plan, it was not just to change these people. It's as simple as becoming a Dionian citizen, but letting them become a kind of fire, igniting a raging fire on this land full of Bradin city-states.

Of course, this is a long process, and time is running out now, and he still has a lot to do this evening.

Daves strode back to the city, and met the staff officer Tolmeid hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the report of Amintas is here."

"What's the situation?"

"The Roman army was defeated, and Amintas led the whole army to pursue, especially the two cavalry regiments desperately drove the Romans to the south, and drove the Roman routs to the south of Lavinim, and took it. This small city. There were many Roman soldiers captured along the way. Amintas said that he did not have time to count, and worried that these prisoners would hinder their military operations tomorrow, so he adopted our old method in Persia." Tolmid’s last sentence The voice of the words is much lower.

Davos glanced at Cloto Catacs beside him, and said calmly: "Let the messenger go back and tell Ammentas,'He won this battle clean and beautiful! But tonight The soldiers have a good rest, regain their strength, and have to find a way to solve the soldiers’ food rations. They must ensure that they can lead the energetic soldiers to meet us in Rome at dawn tomorrow. It is best not to be late.'"

"Yes!"

Klotokatax asked curiously: "Father, what is the old Persian way?"

Tolmid looked at Prince Dionia, who had just grown up and had a childish look, and he didn't say anything interestingly.

Daves hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "It is to cut the captive's hands and feet so that he can't move, and then abandon him on the battlefield... This is some of the people who passed through Persia when we fled in Persia. The affiliated city-states are constantly attacked by them. We adopt this method to deal with the captives we defeated. In this way, we do not need to kill the captives to completely anger the enemy, but also force the enemy to distract and take care of the wounded soldiers... "

"But...is this too cruel..." Cloto Kataks was a little bit unbearable. Facing Davers's solemn gaze, he plucked up the courage and said, "They have all surrendered. We should ensure their safety, which is beneficial for us to win the favor of these Romans and to conquer this land faster, father!"

Daves was accused, not angry, but smiled: "Crotto, I am glad you can have your own opinion! But you have to understand that the Romans are our enemy now, even if we just won two In this victory, our army far away from the kingdom is still in danger, and may suffer defeat at any time under the attack of Rome and its allies far more than our army, die in this strange land, or become the enemy’s slave. So our primary goal now is to do everything possible to ensure that we can continue to win and that our soldiers can reduce casualties, even if it is cruel, unless we have an absolute advantage, we will consider the problem you just talked about. ……"

Daves taught his son patiently, saw that he was thinking, and then patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, then turned around and asked Tolmeide: "Are the soldiers' accommodation arranged?"

"It's all arranged. There are many warehouses in the city. We simply remodeled it, which is much better than living in tents. In addition, we put all the Ostia people in custody, except for the vacated houses for the team. In addition to the accommodation of the officers and soldiers, there are still some leftovers—"

"Then arrange for the slaves and laborers to live. After all, some of them will move with us tomorrow, and they need a good rest. Besides, they can enjoy joining our Kingdom of Dionia in advance. Benefits."

"Yes, I will arrange it in a while."

"How is the food situation?"
