Turiyi is no longer angry at the moment, and they nodded helplessly.
On the way back to the city of Turriy, Kunogolata rode far ahead alone, making Neonsis feel chills behind him. He wanted to call Kunogola several times. Tower, but they all held back. He was able to become General Turiyi because of the strong support of Kunogolata, who also suggested that he be in charge of treasury and trade on the grounds that Neonsis is good at financial management and accounting. However, today, without discussing with Kunogolata, he changed the decision that Kunogolata had discussed in advance without authorization. Based on his knowledge of Kunogolata, this one has never been soft on opponents. The general must hate him very much! what to do? Neonsis asked himself eagerly in his heart that he had fallen in love with the position of general in the city state and did not want to be ousted.
Kunogorata really hates Neonsis. If he had been skilled in calculations before, he might have made the same choice as Neonsis, just like the last time he opposed Feiris in the city hall, but he would fight. His failure evoked fear in his heart. How many times he was awakened by the hideous face of the Lucaria in his dreams. After this battle, he discovered his fragility, war-that is completely different from politics. In the world, his political skills are completely unworkable on this **** battlefield, and what is even more frightening is that he discovered that Turiyi’s foreign powers are in the middle, so even if the finances are difficult, he has to maintain this employment agreement, as long as the next six months. Strengthen the connection with the military genius of Daves, I believe that the alliance between Turri and Amendorara will be stabilized, but the "traitor" Neonsis ruined everything!
Kunogorata was very angry: At the end of the meeting, this idiot, who was once a lowly employee of a big businessman, actually said to Ansitanos, "Anyway, it's all an alliance, so why bother to hire? A waste of money." He knows what a shit! Can alliance and employment have the same binding force on Amendorara? ! I didn't see the shrewd young archon of Amendorara. I wish we could abandon this agreement soon, so instead of refuting it at all, we gave up on the initiative! This idiot with no political mind can't stay in the city hall anymore, he has to get out of here!
Ansitanos was still annoyed that Daves refused his request for an interview. He kept thinking: After the agreement is signed, how to find a reason to come to Amendorara, and then to other Amendorara expedition to Persia. Citizens understand the situation. Therefore, he did not notice the abnormality of the two generals at all.
………………………………
Daves returned home, remembered a very important thing, pondered for a long time, still unable to do anything.
So, he called Asistes and said: "Now, the alliance agreement with Turriy is about to be signed. The plan for Lucalia is about to begin preparations. First of all, we need to understand Lu. What is the current situation in the Kalia area, so that we can formulate the correct strategic plan and make targeted preparations based on the actual situation. But the problem is that the Lucanians seldom communicate with Turii and Amendorara. It’s impossible. We can only send someone to investigate. However, the Greeks definitely can’t. The differences in appearance are too obvious. Sending the captured Lucanians, fearing that they will take the opportunity to escape, but leak our situation... !...It's difficult! Yasi, do you have any suggestions?"
Asistus also thought about it for a while, and suddenly smiled: "My lord Archon, you forgot someone, I think he is quite suitable."
"Oh! Who is it?!" Daves was originally just a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but Asistes was actually chosen.
"Izam!"
"...The son of Chief Dukeya!" Daves remembered now. In Byzantium, Izam was in Timathon’s camp. At that time, the Dukeyas had no use value. Everyone just regarded him as an ordinary soldier. In addition, the people's minds and military spirits were floating. No one cared. His movements. It's just that Davers vaguely remembered someone saying something to him: Izzam later joined his mercenary, in Hieronymus' company. Now that I think of it, Izam is curious, clever, and has a strong ability to learn languages, which left a certain impression on Daves, not to mention that he also grew up in the mountains.
"Is he like Lucalia?" Daves asked uncertainly.
"It's more similar!" Asistes said affirmatively: "The size and body are similar, but the hair color is slightly different, but this one can be put on makeup. The most important thing is that he married a Lucaria woman. As a wife, you can learn language habits from his wife."
"Oh, it's the same as you!" Daves felt relieved with a suitable candidate, and joked: "I didn't expect you to marry a Lucaria girl, and it's really Bagu. Le’s sister!"
Asistes was a bit shy now, and stopped talking.
"How does she look like? Wouldn't she be like his brother?" Davers asked with a curious smile.
"Also...Also..." Asistes grunted embarrassedly for a long time, and then squeezed out a sentence.
"Alright?! That's pretty good!" Daves knew his herald better, and said with certainty: "Wesbark is the leader of the entire tribe, and of course he will pick the most beautiful woman in the entire tribe. As a wife, the daughter you gave birth is definitely not bad. As for Bagul... it’s crooked."
Davers continued to ridicule: "However, your eldest uncle is also very powerful, just like this, so that the first beauty of Amendorara still has a love for him and is willing to wait for him for five years."
Seeing that Assistes didn’t speak, but just smiled, Daves said again: “Yasi, I’ll give you a suggestion. You’d better learn from your wife in an understanding and tolerant attitude. Get to know the people of Lucania seriously. Maybe one day, when you have enough ability, I will send you to Lucania."
"Master Daves, can we really take the Lucaria area?! I heard my wife say that there are five or six major towns in the Lucania area, with hundreds of tribes and a population of more than 100,000... …" Assistus asked worriedly and suspiciously.
"As long as you dare to think about it, and with careful preparation and correct planning, everything is possible!" Daves confidently encouraged him.
Asisters thoughtfully.
Davers said: "Go and call Izam."
"Yes!"
"Wait a minute!" Daves remembered something, and stopped Asistus who was about to walk out of the living room: "I entrust you with an important task! I need to keep abreast of the movements of the surrounding city-states, Tarantum, Tu Rey, Heraclea, Clotone, etc., some of the new laws and changes they have made in trade, politics, and military affairs, as well as the situation of the people in the city-states, etc., must be dedicated to organizing manpower, collecting intelligence, After making a summary, report to me in time so that we can formulate corresponding bills and measures based on the situation of neighboring countries in a timely manner. You are responsible for this in advance, and it needs money and manpower. I will add it to you."
"Okay, Master Daves." Asistes agreed without hesitation.
Seeing his enthusiasm, Daves reminded him: “Doing such a city-state intelligence collection is a tedious but huge task that requires patience and care. You have no experience at the beginning. You can just start with pictures. Rey started..." Daves told Asistes carefully about the principles and experience of intelligence collection he had seen in books and on the Internet in his previous life.
Assistes listened and remembered carefully. He was very excited because this was the first time he was independently responsible for a specific thing. It was obviously more important than just calling people and delivering orders as a messenger before. It's more interesting and important.
……………………………
Izam and his Lucania wife are working in the farmland.
As a Dukya mountain citizen, Izam does not have the traditional customs of the Greeks-housewives are not allowed to show up. When his new wife asked to go to farm work with him, he not only agreed but was also very happy. In Dukeya, when the manpower is scarce, women have to go out hunting and even fighting with spears. The wife can ask to work with him, indicating that she has integrated into this new home, and Izam is of course happy. Although on the way to the fields, the people from the city-states he met all looked at them strangely, he was still very interested and kept communicating with his wife in stuttering Lukarian.
Since Izam joined the mercenaries very late, the land he was allocated to the former dead citizens of Amendorara is not very good. Not only is there only five acres of land, but also far from the river, closer to the mountains, the land The quality is not high. Fortunately, when he chose to be a guide for the Greeks, he expressed his willingness to venture abroad to his stern father, Comoro. The leader of Dukeya gave him a lot of money, and now he can finally come in handy. Under the advice of his close comrades, he bought three slaves from Tarantum in one go. Two Egyptian slaves were responsible for plowing his fields, and a Greek slave was dedicated to herding cattle and sheep for him. After all, his land is close to the mountains and it is more convenient for grazing. Expenses, this is a bill proposed by Daves and approved by the Senate, mainly to prevent deforestation). In fact, if Christoya had not opened a bank and provided loans at low interest rates, many of his comrades would have to borrow money from him.
Although he has never taken a sickle or helped a plow, Izam humbly asked and asked Egyptian slaves. His wife was pulling out the weeds in the wheat field by hand. Another Egyptian slave had arrived. The Sinny River went to fetch water, and the Greek slaves drove up to the hillside with a dozen cattle and sheep that had just been bought for a few days in the morning.
