With the lessons learned from Kesrera, where the two envoys dared to be perfunctory, the two parties quickly discussed the matter.

During the period, under the urging of Daves, the messenger traveled frequently between Rome and Volch and Tarzuna on fast horses. The two sides quickly drafted a preliminary draft of the alliance. The main contents are:

First, the Kingdom of Dionian, Tarzuna and Volch formed a military alliance;

Second, Tarzuna and Volch must respond to Dionian’s request and provide troops to fight against Dionian’s enemies, and Dionian must also protect Tarzuna and Volch Security of the territory;

Third, Volch and Tarzuna recognized Dionia's legal occupation of Kesrera;

Fourth, Dionia must assist Tarzuna and Volch to recapture Survotem and Xhosa and return their territories to their allies, but the Romans in the city belong to Dionia All, allied soldiers shall not plunder;

……

The alliance agreement has not yet been officially signed, and the two Etruscan city-states, under the urging of Daves, sent envoys to the Roman camp the next day, and this is an easy victory.

……………………………………

On this day, the sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear and cloudless.

After experiencing wars, killings, chaos, and crying, the people of Rome have a rare sense of joy on their faces. They dressed up, brought their wives and daughters, gathered on both sides of the road from the arena to the square, waiting Triumphant start.

Among these people was McKelius. After learning that Wei Ai had fallen three days ago, he immediately fled the barracks with many Wei Ai soldiers.

Since the Roman army was busy intercepting the departure of the Etruscans and other colonial forces on the north bank of the Tiber River, most of them escaped smoothly. Many of them, like Mckelius, ran directly to Rome. Under the city, surrender to the Dionians.

After the Dionian officials confirmed their identities, the Roman nobles who surrendered will be transported to the south by boat with their families, and they will be scattered and placed in various towns in the kingdom by the Turrii Household Registration Department. As for civilians who surrender, they must be asked whether they choose to live in Rome or Wei Ai, and then resettlement according to their choice. In fact, they would take the initiative to guide civilians to choose Rome, because after clearing out the Roman nobles, more than half of the entire city of Rome was vacated.

For McLius, who had grown up in Rome, he is certainly willing to return to Rome, because there are not only better houses, but also more fertile land. Ai, the flat land along the river that originally belonged to Wei Ai was assigned to Rome, and only the hills and mountains were left for the Roman citizens who moved to Wei Ai to distribute).

Dionia’s officials not only helped him find his wife and children, but also told him: His Majesty King Davos, specially issued a bill for these Romans who applied to become Dionysian citizens. 'When they are harvested in autumn, they can harvest the crops that belonged to their own land first, and then cultivate the new land. ’

Daves' thoughtful actions really relieved all the Roman civilians who took refuge in Dionia.

Just as Mckelius was busy moving, a piece of news spread throughout Rome: The Dionians are preparing to hold a triumphal ceremony in Rome tomorrow!

Suddenly made waves among the Roman people. After all, the triumphal ceremony was one of the most sacred ceremonies for Roman citizens. It was a ceremony for the Romans to show off their military exploits and glory after they defeated the enemy. Therefore, the Roman civilians like Mckelius urgently Want to know: Do the Dionians know how to hold a triumphal ceremony? What attitude will the Dionians take towards the Romans in the triumph? (Because in the past triumphal styles of Rome, the captured enemies will always be escorted to the parade)......

Therefore, many people in Rome gathered to the side of the road with complex expressions holding big doubts, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

"Woo!..." The bugle rang, followed by drums, and a melody of excitement and joy came from the south of Rome.

The people on the roadside listened and couldn't help shaking their heads to the strange and beautiful melody. Some people even called the music good and asked the people around for their names, but no one knew.

After a while, the people in the southern part of the city commotion first, yelling: "Come! They are here!..."

People on the side of the road began to rush forward, but they were stopped by the Dionian soldiers standing on the side of the road and holding hands on guard.

Mckelius picked up the five-year-old child and looked to the south on tiptoes, only to see a golden shining flag in the middle of the south road was held high in the air, walking towards them...

Wait closer, and McKellius could see the high-flying black flag with a silver double-stranded fork drawn on the surface of the golden crown, surrounded by gems, and black hair entwined with a pattern on the top of the flag. It is a statue of a majestic Greek god.

This is the banner of the Kingdom of Dionia? ! Mckelius looked up at him, knowing that after returning from Helniki with the Roman army, he went directly to attack Ostia. He hadn’t seen the specifics of Dionia’s flag before surrendering. .

This time, he looked carefully, because he knew he would fight under the command of this banner in the future.

The Roman people on both sides of the road were curiously looking at the soldier holding the flag. Although he was not very tall and burly, he had a vigorous figure, strong muscles, several scars on his face, and a rather vicious appearance.

Of course, the Romans did not know that the soldiers who were able to raise the flag in the triumph of Dionian were the soldiers who performed the most heroic and outstanding achievements in the war. For a citizen of Dionian, this is the highest. The honor of the people of Dionia is also the focus of the attention of the Dionian people. After all, only one person held the flag high, and several generals in the chariot.

There was no onlooker in Rome who cheered or threw flowers at the soldiers who raised the flag. This may make Terentus feel a little regretful, but he is still full of pride, because he has been since the founding of Dionia The first soldier of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade to raise the flag high in the triumphal style, first ventured to dive into the sewers of the Roman city at night, and made the first contribution, and then the first to climb the wall during the night attack on the city of Kesrera, and fell down five or six in a row. A Kesrera soldier who discovered the situation and rushed to stop him bought time for the entire operation, so when he elected the triumphal flag bearer, he was elected without any controversy.

Behind him were ten soldiers. They held ten flags high. Because there were too many flags and the road was not wide enough, they were forced to line up in two rows. These flags belong to the First Army, Second Army, Third Army, Fourth Army, Fifth Army, Sixth Army, First Cavalry Army, and Second Cavalry Army. This special force with a staff of only 1,000 played an extremely important role in this war. Of course, the casualties were not small. Of course, Daves must commend it vigorously to make up for the honor of the army over the years. neglect.

Now holding the flag of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade is a company captain Crigolas. Although his performance as a team officer in this battle is not very significant, he has been in this battle for more than ten years. In the last battle, they all performed well.

The other flag is...

The Roman people on the roadside saw this flag and the soldiers holding the flag, and some couldn't help exclaiming: "It's Valerius! It turned out to be Valerius!"

But more Roman people are staring at the only red flag with complex expressions like Mckelius.

The soldier holding this flag, Valerius, is also dressed in the costume of a Roman heavy infantry. As a member of the newly formed Roman reserve brigade, he was brave in the raid on Vaihe three days ago and became a Roman reserve. The representative of the brigade, of course, his performance is far from that of other legionaries, but what Davers needs is the political significance he represents.

But apparently the Roman civilian hadn't adapted to such an atmosphere. He was a little bit shy and didn't even nod to the people who knew him. He didn't hold his head tall and proud like other flag bearers.

Behind the flag bearer, what appeared in front of Mckelius and them were four Dionian priests wearing white robes, carrying a wooden statue of a god, and walking solemnly in the procession.

Many Roman people asked quietly: Who is this Greek god?

Those who knew the situation told them: It was Hades, the patron saint of the Kingdom of Dionia.

Hearing this, the people on the roadside were even less talking, because they realized that after joining the Kingdom of Dionia, they would inevitably have to deal with this powerful Greek god.

After the priest Dionian passed by, there was another statue of the **** that appeared in front of the people such as Mckelius.

"It's Goddess Diana!!" someone shouted excitedly.

The Dionians placed the goddess of Diana, which was widely worshiped by Roman civilians, behind their patron goddess, which shows that they attached great importance to the gods venerated by Roman civilians, which relieved the hearts of Maikelius. In a tone, they even saw the chief priest of the Temple of Diana among the priests carrying the statue.

The chief priest has a solemn expression, but he is indeed very happy, because the priest Cardias of the Hades Temple has already had a close conversation with him: after Rome was incorporated into the Kingdom of Dionia, the **** Hades The temple will focus on supporting the Temple of Diana as one of the main worship temples for the Romans who are already Dionian citizens, and the Temple of Diana will also become a place for free worship of Dionian citizens of other races.

The promise of Cardias made the priest of the Temple of Diana excited. It should be known that although the Temple of Diana in Rome was popular with Latin civilians in the past, it was not very much valued by the Senate and could not be entered. Capitoline Mountain, enjoy the sacrifices of the entire city-state during important celebrations. And Dionia obviously did not look at Jupiter and Juno, who are somewhat similar to the main Greek gods, but to focus on supporting Diana. Today, letting them walk in the grand triumphal parade is the beginning. Full of expectation.
