Davos urgently recruited senior team officials such as Felicius, Capus, Dracos, Hironimos, Epithenis, etc., to discuss the countermeasures for the alliance proposed by Laos.
After that, he asked for an urgent meeting of the Senate. After discussion, Daves' proposal was approved.
That night, Alobumas was taken to Davers's mansion again.
"How is the rest of the distinguished guest from Laos?" Daves said jokingly.
Arobumas' eyes wandered, seeing a few more people around Davers, and some eagerly asked: "Your Excellency, have you already made a decision?!"
"Yes, after discussion, our Senate decided to accept Laos as the alliance of the Tua League!" Daves said with a smile.
"It's great!" Arobumas couldn't hide his excitement. Before coming, he heard Avinojis carefully introduce how to negotiate with the Greeks and the procedures for signing the covenant. For such important things, the Greeks will definitely hold a meeting. There will be no repeated discussions for two or three days. As a result, he urged Daves before. He didn't expect that after only half a day, the Tua Alliance made a decision. This new force is indeed different.
"It's just that I heard that Niutum sent seven or eight hundred soldiers to Laos. Can you and your brother take Raos easily?" Daves asked with concern.
After previous conversations, Alobumas is no longer surprised why Daves knows Raos so much. He said with confidence: "We have no problem with Raos at all. We not only have more than a thousand fighters. , And the slaves in the port are also descendants of our Subaris, and they are willing to obey our command! We have lived in the city of Laos for generations, and those new Lukanyas have several lanes in the city of Laos. I don’t know, how can we be our opponent! Just after taking Raus, he will definitely be attacked by Niutum and even Grumentum, so you need your support!"
"That is to say, there is not much risk in the process of capturing the city. After capturing Laos, it may lead to crazy revenge from the Lucanians, right?" Daves asked patiently.
Alobmus nodded involuntarily.
"Then I have a better way to allow you to successfully obtain Laos without taking the risk afterwards!" Daves' words were full of temptation.
"What can be done?" Alobumas asked hurriedly.
"First help us take down Niutum and cut off the channel for the Lucarias to go south to rescue Laos. By then, you will not even be required to attack Laos. The Lucanians in the city have lost their support. , I’m afraid I have to surrender."
Daves's statement is indeed very reasonable, which made Alobmas very heart-warming, but he said anxiously: "Although Niutum is not a stone city, it will not be easy to conquer it. If it can't be fast Take it down, in case Grumentum comes to rescue, our plan will be exposed..."
"We will not attack Niutum." Daves laughed.
Alobmus was puzzled.
"How many warriors are there in Niutum?" Daves then asked.
"Originally there were nearly 6,000 fighters. After you defeated them, there are more than 2,000 people left. Now there are 800 more people in Laos, and there are only more than 1,000 fighters in the city." Alobmas answered truthfully.
"Besides these fighters, can anyone else fight?" Davers asked again.
"The others are old people, women, and children. Niutum occupies a small area, the land is barren, and it can’t support too many tribes. The reason why there are so many fighters depends on us, Laos. Give it a large amount of food every year!" Arobumas thought of Niutum's oppression and exploitation of Laos for so many years, and his hatred surged.
Davers smiled: "My request is very simple, I just need you to help us deceive the gate of Niutum, and we will leave the rest to us."
………………………
Alobmas set out to return to Laos, along with him were the clerk Asistes under the Archon of the Tua Alliance, and Izam, the captain of the Mountain Scouting Squad. They took the covenant with him Vinojis signed the contract and confirmed that the signer was Avinojis himself, and then further discussed the capture of Niutum and Laos.
At the same time, the senior team officials of the Tua League were discussing how to attack the map of Niutum City left by Alobumas, and at the same time they began secretly mobilizing for war. Although, as Alobmas said, there are only more than 1,000 fighters in Niutum, Daves decided to take the tactics of lions and rabbits to be on the safe side. In addition to the first team staying in the Tua League, the second and third The Seventh Brigade has a total of 3,000 people, carrying dry food for five days, preparing for a surprise attack on Niutum.
In addition, Daves is also preparing to entertain two people.
"Lord Weisba, please take a seat soon!"
"The Archon is too polite. I am no longer the leader of the tribe, but only a captive of the Tua Alliance." Weisba said flatly.
"It's only temporary. When you become a citizen of the Tua League, you will still be the leader of this tribe!" Daves said as if he was comforting him, and as if he was making a promise.
Weissba's heart moved.
Davers said to Baggul, who was a little restrained on the side: "Hehe, the most famous rugby running back in the barracks, road construction makes you stronger, doesn't it, Andrea?"
Andria, who was following Christoja, blushed and bowed her head without speaking.
"Your Excellency!" Bagul touched his head, and said with a silly smile.
"Sit down! Sit down!" After Davos greeted the guests to sit down, he said loudly: "There are no outsiders here today. You are all my old friends, Lord Weisbah and Baggul! Wife Christoya, you all know each other."
Christoya nodded and smiled at the two of them.
"This one doesn't need to be introduced by me." Daves pointed at Andrea and smiled: "I'm still waiting to attend your wedding!"
Andrea and Bagul have both red faces, and Weisbar is a little helpless. Although he doesn't like Bagul to marry a Greek woman, in this situation, marrying a Greek woman is right. The tribe helps a lot.
"So today, we don’t pay attention to etiquette, sit as you want, and eat whatever you want! I have prepared some novel foods that have not yet been introduced in restaurants. You are the first to taste it. People, I hope you will like it!" Daves' words aroused everyone's curiosity. Even Weisba, who doesn't go out very much, knows that Christoya's restaurant is very famous in the league.
Daves took the lead in setting an example. He moved a wooden chair to sit at the dining table instead of lying on a recliner. Daves was dissatisfied with the sitting posture of a Greek banquet, which is totally unfavorable for digestion and health. And Daves let Christia and Andrea attend the banquet, which was a violation of the Greek tradition, but in Visbah and Bagul’s gardens, Daves felt that Daves was bold and generous, and really didn’t treat them. Be an outsider.
The slaves first put some fruits and snacks on the front of each table, and then placed a can of wine and a can of golden liquid.
Bagul took a sip of curiosity, and a cold breath pierced the bottom of his heart. He couldn't help asking: "What is this, it's so delicious!"
"The beer that the Egyptians drank." Andrea is now selling now, explaining to her lover: "According to the requirements of the adults, after the slaves have been carefully brewed, this wine will be better."
"Well, it's better than soft wine, this is the wine that men drink!" Baggul took another sip, and then spoke out loudly.
Weissba took a sip after his son's infection, and then took a few sips in silence.
Davos saw this situation, looked at Christia with a smile, and said: "Drinking beer, how can there be no good food!"
Christoya motioned to Asuna immediately.
Asuna directed the servants to bring an iron object that was as high as the wooden table beside each table. On top of it was an earthen jar filled with water and some spices, and the servants began to light it. Put the wood into the iron cavity under the earthen jar.
Weesba and the others looked at all this curiously, and the slaves brought two more dishes to each.
"This is lamb?" Weisba looked at the thinly rolled slices of red and white meat on the plate, and said uncertainly.
"This is lamb. This is beef." Daves pointed at them and said, "I call this kind of food shabu beef and mutton slices." As he said, the water in the crock was already boiling, Dai Firth took a piece of beef in his hand and put it in a crock. He saw the beef tumbling in the boiling water, and soon the color turned white. Daves scooped it up with a wooden spoon with a leaky eye, placed it on a wooden dish with dipping sauce, dipped it a few times, grabbed it with his hand, and put it in his mouth with a look of intoxication.
Wesbah and the others have learned a lot. After eating, they all looked surprised. Baggul even said: "I have never eaten such delicious beef, how do I make it?"
"The slaughtered sheep were skinned, boned, and blood removed, and then placed in a cellar. Then they were sent to the high mountains to collect a large amount of ice cubes and put them in the cellar. After taking out the good beef and mutton, you can use a knife to cut out thin and crisp pieces of meat, put them in boiling water, and cook them once they are blanched..." Daves explained patiently.
"Then what is this thing?" Baggul continued to ask, pointing to the small plate before his case.
"That is the dipping material, which regulates the taste of beef and mutton. This dipping material should be made with sea prawns, shellfish... um... and seaweed, etc. After being chopped and fermented, a little bit of spices from India is added. I have to ask my chef how to make it."
"This kind of food looks simple, I didn't expect it to be so troublesome!" Bagul sighed, having given up his plan to try it at home in the future.
Davers smiled slightly and turned to ask Andrea: "Our big merchant, do you think my beef and mutton slices can be popular in our restaurants?"
