As soon as the Crotone people were sent away, and the Dionian army was ushered in, the people of Crimea were obviously a little dazed about this very eye-catching team entering the city.

However, the Dionian army disbanded after reaching the square along the street. Under the leadership of the team officers, the soldiers used the tools brought in the panniers to carefully clean the streets full of rubbish, level the damaged roads, and even help the people repair their houses... They worked hard to clean up the desolate urban area after the war.

The people of Crimea were surprised at first, and then slowly tried to talk to these "conquerors". Eventually, they were infected by the enthusiasm of the soldiers for labor, and they joined the ranks of reorganizing their homes with guilt. The women brought food and water to express their condolences to the soldiers, and at the same time told them of their own difficulties at home, hoping to get their help. Of course, the soldiers were willing to contribute their physical strength and enthusiasm.

One afternoon, Crimea, this war-torn, somewhat lifeless city became alive.

When the members of the former Council of Crimea saw this situation and scene, all of them were surprised, whispering and talking.

As the former chief general of Crimea, Anta Auris admitted that he was traveling north and south, well-informed, and had never seen or heard that the citizen soldiers of one city-state would still conquer another city-state. Help the conquered people restore their homes after the war! Like others, the surprise and excitement in his heart made him wonder what to say: "Master Davers, this...this is really..."

"From today, the Crimean people are citizens of the Dionian League. We are all a family! We are a family, of course we have to help each other, right?" Daves said with a smile.

Looking at the shocked expressions of the people around him, he was very satisfied with the results of this operation. Before coming, he did issue an order for the soldiers to act as "cleaners", but the order alone cannot make the soldiers willing to work. He also told them: because the victory of the war is based on the heroic performance of the soldiers, The civic inspection period of freedmen who have participated in the battle for many times will be greatly shortened, and it is even possible for soldiers who have performed well on the battlefield to become official citizens directly! And this time the victory of the war, Dionia will obtain a large amount of land, all soldiers participating in the war will be rewarded with "allotment" for their military exploits, and the land to be allocated in the future will be mainly near Crimea. Therefore, Crimea will become a new home for some soldiers. And because of the frequent wars in Crimea within half a year, a large number of male citizens were killed and injured. Now there are more women than men. Davers encourages single soldiers to use actions to win the favor of Crimea women! It is for these reasons that the soldiers do not have the arrogance of a victor, but instead use practical actions to win the favor of the Crimesa people—their neighbors in the future.

"And you--" Daves continued: "The treasury, the granary... are well protected. They were not robbed by Crotone's defeated soldiers. They were completely handed over to the Alliance, not because you agreed. The Alliance of Diornia considers itself as a citizen of Dioria, is it so thoughtful! I believe that the Dioria Senate will recognize your efforts!"

Everyone thought they had received Davers's hint, and their faces were happy.

Daves saw the same smile in his eyes, but he was very clear in his heart: Although the number of members of the Dionian Senate is far from full, this time the Senate will definitely be cautious. Send people to investigate secretly, who are the most prestigious and appealing among the Crimean people? Among these people, only those who are truly willing to become Dionian citizens and work seriously will be specially recruited into the Senate. It is a guise to vote for elections. As the territory that has just merged into the alliance, he and the Senate must of course firmly control Crimea to prevent accidents.

"Master Davos, please follow me to the port and count the batch of supplies we intercepted from Crotone." What is rare is that the former chief general of Crimea can remain calm. .

This made Daves look at Anta Auris with some appreciation, and said: "Okay!"

After inspecting the city of Crimea, Daves immediately issued an order to distribute part of the food and materials obtained to the people of Crimea to compensate them for their losses due to the war.

This generous act won the goodwill of the people. At the same time, he ordered Capps to lead the 2000 soldiers of the First Army to station in the city, on the one hand to maintain and stabilize the order in the city, and on the other hand to continue to help the people repair the damaged facilities. The rest of the army continued to be stationed in the camp outside the city, began to fill traps, pull out iron thorns... etc., to restore the environment around the camp to normal. Daves tactfully declined Antaolis' request to invite him to a banquet, and led the Ryders cavalry team, accompanied by Hironimus, to Asprostum.

Horse racing in the slightly undulating, broad Croton Plain, what you see is either farmland or villages, as well as criss-crossing canals. Although human activities are not visible, some villages are even exposed to thick water. cigarette. Except for the occasional bereaved hounds who cast hateful glances at them and kept barking, everything was quiet and abnormal. This did not affect the good spirits of Daves and the group. They looked at the scene with great interest while walking. Newly acquired land by Dionia.

Leides said excitedly: "Although the terrain is not as flat as the Subari Plain, it does not feel as fertile as the soil and not worse than the Subari Plain!"

"It seems that you want to change your land here." Davers said jokingly.

"My lord, I didn't plan to do that. The Crotone is next to me, and I feel a little uncomfortable doing anything." Leides shook his head and said.

"With such a fertile land, you still pick and choose. It's really the rich who don't know the pain of the poor." Davers continued to tease him.

The cavalry also took the opportunity to joke the captain.

At this moment, Hieronymus next to him said: "No matter how good the land is, it can't be kept without strong power."

Davers froze and said: "Yes, we can't learn Crotone, we must continue to strengthen training to defend our homeland! Especially your cavalry team, this time you have done a great job, but you can't be proud , Continue to improve your cavalry skills with your captain and learn new cavalry tactics. I hope you can become an important attack force in the Dionian army and determine the outcome of the battle! Do you have this confidence?"

"Yes!!!" The cavalry raised their spears and shouted excitedly.

…………………

Standing on the head of the city of Asprostum, you can look westward to the endless mountains, covered with white snow; to the east, you can overlook the rushing torrents, cliffs, and the green fertile fields of the Croton Plain. A glance. When the weather is very good, you can even look southeast to get a glimpse of the bustling traffic inside and outside Crotone...

"This is such a great place! The Crotones will give it to us!" Daves stroked the thick battlements, exclaiming.

“Of course it’s not that the Crotone people want to give it, but they can’t take it back at all!” Baggul confidently said: “Asprustum is in a very good terrain, and the city High ditch and deep, I only need 2,000 people to block the enemy’s 20,000 attack!"

Daves, who has checked the city defense in detail, nodded and agreed.

"Izam's Mountain Reconnaissance Team was a great help in taking down this city!" Hironimos' words reminded Daves that he found this young Dukeya from the team he was accompanying. Person: "Izam, this time your company has made a great contribution. All soldiers who participated in the capture of the city must remember the great contribution at least once!"

"My brothers, thank you Commander-in-Chief!" Izam looked excited and said: "My lord, my scout team can play a bigger role, as long as you can expand the scout team to a thousand people. !"

Hieronimus and Asistes looked at each other, and the Duke's request was so direct.

Davers didn’t take it seriously. He smiled: “The role of the Mountain Reconnaissance Team is to detect, disturb and destroy the enemy, not to fight the enemy head-on. With so many people, it’s not convenient for you to command, and it’s easy to be The enemy found..." Daves did not turn down the words, but seriously thought about it, and said: "It's not impossible to expand. I will see you first develop an expansion and training plan, how many people will be added, and how to organize it. And training this expanded mountain reconnaissance team, let this new team adapt faster and strengthen its special role in wartime... If your plan is feasible, I can discuss with Felicius to expand the mountain reconnaissance team And appoint you as the captain."

"Great, thank you, sir!" Izam yelled unabashedly.

"So I wanted to be the captain, let me say it!" Assistus took the opportunity to tease.

"You have all become captains, and of course I can't fall behind." Izam said confidently.

Everyone laughed.

"Are all the original residents of the city gone?" Daves asked, turning around and looking down at the city.

"The Crotone people came to the city, read out the covenant they had just signed to the people here, and mobilized them to leave. They cried and made trouble, but in the end they all left. There was nothing left, and we They are also allowed to take home belongings, but they still want to take public property, but we refused. That is our trophies!" Assistus said.

"It's okay if the residents of Asprostum are gone, it is convenient for us to emigrate, and this city will be firmly controlled by the Alliance!" Davers reminded at the same time: "You must take Asp as soon as possible. The property in Prusstum is clearly counted, and a list is made so that one can be given to Laos and Castellon."
