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

At this moment, Dionysius swept away the gloom before, and said loudly: "We just need a victory in the battle to restore the morale of the soldiers!"

"My lord." Fascipesas warned cautiously: "The Dionians have a maritime advantage, they may not be willing to fight with us!"

"That's not for them!" Dionysius sneered.

………………………………………

When dusk fell, the Dionian reinforcements rushed to the city of Crimea.

The Chief Executive Prot Silus and the Sixth Army Corps Commander Oliver led a team out of the city to greet them.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you are finally here!" Plotsilus had been notified by the Senate a few days ago. He was surprised at the news that "Daves became King of Dionia". , But there is not much objection. On the contrary, seeing Daves now, he was relieved.

"Master Protsilus, during this war, of all the cities of Dionian, you have the greatest pressure, but you have done a good job! Under the heavy pressure of the army in Syracuse Next, you still have settled in Crimea City. On behalf of the Senate, I thank you for your efforts during this period!" Daves said sincerely, although in Aristilas’ intelligence, Protsey Routh's lax governance of Crimea led to political turmoil. If Oliver's arrival were not in time, I am afraid that Crimea's situation would have been worse, but after he realized his mistakes, he was able to follow his good faith and assist. The Sixth Army supervised the city, and arranged food and lodging for a large number of people who fled into the city, and dealt with the surge in various affairs in a timely manner, which greatly eased the people who fled from villages outside the city and the residents of the city. The conflict between them has ensured the stability of the city, so Daves's remarks are not just rhetoric, but a compliment from the heart.

"Thanks to the full help of Oliver's captain!" Protsilius looked at Oliver next to him modestly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, our Sixth Legion is for the safety of Crimea. All my brothers have become patrols!" Olivers said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"It seems that your patrol captain is not in vain." Davers joked: "How about letting you be the patrol captain of a certain city after the war is over?"

"Your Majesty, it seems that you have not cared about me in the past few years. I have not been a patrol captain for several years!" Olivers pretended to be aggrieved: "I am now serving as the quartermaster’s deputy in the military department. It is stipulated that after the war, I should go to a higher-level position, such as a middle-level inspector."

"What kind of intermediate public office do you hold, but it needs the inspection and recommendation of the Union Public Service Management Committee of the Senate." Daves' seemingly random sentence made Prot Silus' heart move: It seems that even Daves When he becomes a king, he will still let the Senate exercise his power as before.

"I personally think that the Ombudsman is not suitable for you. You can consider the position of Intermediate Judge." Daves' next remark was obviously a joke, so as soon as he finished speaking, Olivers shook his head vigorously: "So many I can’t remember that the entry’s alliance law killed me, but the captain of the patrol suits me."

Daves laughed, and everyone laughed.

Amidst the laughter, Davers turned his head and asked Protsilaus: "What is the difficulty of Crimea now?"

"It's mainly food and accommodation." Protsilaus blurted out: "There is not much food stored in the city, and people outside the city don't bring too much food when they fled into the city. Some are too In a hurry, I even brought some rations, plus there are so many soldiers from the Sixth Legion... If your Majesty did not lead the army to come today, I would have discussed with Olivers tomorrow and asked him to send soldiers to the Senate. Request emergency food assistance for Crimea!"

"The food in the city is indeed very tight now!" Olivers interjected: "Master Protsilaus even tried to persuade the residents of the city to share with the people who fled into the city, but... there are a few. The people expressed strong dissatisfaction with this."

Daves looked at them, then looked around at the other public officials in Crimea, and said with a serious expression: "Our war with Syracuse determines the survival of the alliance. In such a critical period, All the people of the Alliance should unite and work together to defeat Syracuse and win a better future for the Alliance! Therefore, as long as anyone at this time acts to undermine the stability of the Alliance and hinder Dionia’s preparations for war, Then they are not the Dionians, but the enemies of Dionians! The Senate and its subordinate city councils have the right to impose aggravated punishments, or even the death penalty, in accordance with the "Wartime Act"! Don't worry, Boldly manage the city!"

After listening to this, Olivers blinked at Protsilaus, which meant: I was right.

Daves’ serious words revealed murderous intent, which made Protsilius’ heart startled. He and his men said one after another: "We understand."

"As for the food, you don't have to worry about it." Daves said with relief: "In the past few days, there will be a steady flow of food from the port of Turri, and tomorrow the army will also go to Crowe. There will be no more enemy cavalry rampage here. You can arrange for the people hiding in the city to return to their hometowns one after another, rebuild their homes, take care of the destroyed farmland, and prepare for next spring planting... These things, Protsilau Lord Sri Lanka, you have to make arrangements."

"Don't worry, your majesty." Protsilus heard Davers's words, he was greatly relieved, and immediately made a promise.

"Your Majesty, is our Sixth Army going to Croton Plains together?" Olivers asked hurriedly.

Davers smiled and said: "Are you not planning to continue to be the patrol captain in Crimea?"

"Our Sixth Army is going to find those Syracuse mercenary cavalry to settle accounts, and avenge the dead people of Crimea and the brothers who died in battle!" Olivers said in a deep voice. After the Sixth Army entered Crimea, it was not that he did not send troops to try to drive away the enemy cavalry raging in the Croton Plains. However, the inexperienced Sixth Army soldiers had nothing to do with the flying mercenary cavalry. Instead, he had one. The unit was lured by it and stayed away from the large army. As a result, it was attacked by the Celtic cavalry and the Javelin shot by the Numibian cavalry.

Davers felt the flame in his eyes, and nodded with a serious face: "You will do what you want!"

With the sound of military music, the long marching column was almost at the gate of the city. Daves stopped talking and followed Protsilus and other people into the city, followed by the guards behind him.

"Although there is a lot of food shipped this time, there are many places to be distributed, and the number of people is huge. Therefore, the amount of food distributed to Crimea City will not be too much. You have to control the distribution to each household. The food quotas of the people should be fair while maintaining as long as possible so as to be able to wait until the next food delivery." Daves said quietly to Protsilaus beside him as he walked.

Protsilaus's heart is tight: It seems that Dionia's overall food situation is not as optimistic as Daves said to everyone just now.

So he nodded cautiously: "I understand."

"Can there be accommodation for more than 30,000 people in Crimea?" Davers asked again.

"After receiving advance notice, we have made some preparations. The open space in front of the Temple of Hades and the Temple of Apollo has been set aside. The square occupied by the Sixth Army can be squeezed. In addition, We have also discussed with some people with a large residential area that some of the team officers and soldiers can be accommodated at that time. After all, the army only stays for one night, and Crimea City can still let the soldiers live if they do their best."

After introducing the arrangements they made, Protsilaus hesitated for a while and said seriously: "Your Majesty, there is one thing I want to report to you."

"You said."

"In recent years, as the marsh area near the Racoeli River was gradually transformed into a plain and was merged into Crimea at the same time, the population of Crimea has increased rapidly. There are nearly 15,000 registered citizens and prospective citizens, and more than 20,000 registered free citizens. Now most of them live outside the city to cultivate farmland and graze cattle and sheep... And the land on this plain has not been allocated yet, and it may be paid in the future. More people will flood into Crimea. With such a large population and the fertile land of the swamp plains and Croton Plains, agriculture will definitely prosper in the future, and Crimea will have a port and trade. Prosperity, people living outside the city will probably want to live in the city, but the current area of ​​Crimea is too small, and new cities must be expanded outward..."

"Your consideration is very long-term, and I personally agree with it. You can write a proposal and submit it to the Senate for approval, and then allocate the cost of building the city, but this should be to repel Syracuse and end this It’s something to be considered after the war.” Daves said gratifiedly, Turri is going to expand, Crimea is going to expand... He was surprised by the rapid development of the Dionian Alliance.

"Your Majesty, it's up to you to repel these **** invaders, so that Dionia can recover and be peaceful!" Protsilus said sincerely.

Davos smiled slightly, his face suddenly changed when he passed through the city gate and entered the block.

In his vision: each street is filled with simple tents, and the roads are full of unkempt and disheveled refugees lying, sitting, or lying down, including mature men, elderly, and women. , Children, they squeezed the wide streets into small paths that only one or two people can pass.
