"I led the tribe to build a new road and a residential area for the Tua Alliance. I also led the tribe to participate in the battle against Crotone. Now I have captured Niutum and made these achievements. That’s why I became the senator of the Senate!” Bagul said proudly: “My father did nothing else, but never before had a Lucanian join a Greek city-state, and he bravely led More than two thousand tribesmen took the initiative to join a Greek alliance (including family members, here Bagul deliberately distorted the facts), created history, and agreed and encouraged me to lead the tribe to do everything for the alliance, Master Daves Actively invite him to join the Senate!"
The crowd exclaimed in admiration.
Asistes also emphasized: "The Senate is open to any citizen in the alliance. As long as you make enough contributions to the alliance, the Senate will take the initiative to include you in it!..."
Hermon nodded with an enlightenment.
"But what if Grumentum, Picsis, and even Potentia from the north come to attack Niutum who has joined the Tua Alliance?" Someone asked worriedly.
"I think you are all aware that Grumentum and Picosis are now fighting each other and are in a mess. They can't take care of us in a short time, and even if they come, we are not afraid. We have Master Daves!" Asistus said loudly, this sentence is worth a million, and immediately relieved everyone's worries.
"I am willing to lead the tribe to join the Tua Alliance!" Kesimah stood up and said.
"I do too!" Ulazar stood up after him.
"I can't let Weisba be proud of himself in the Senate!" Hermon also stood up.
……
Seeing that almost all the guests are willing to join the alliance and become the citizens of the alliance, Bagul and Asistes smiled at each other, and they raised their glasses: "Come, let us together Cheers to the Tua League belonging to the Lucanians!"
……………………
The next morning, Avinojis’ forces opened the city gates, joined forces inside and outside the Tua Alliance, and easily defeated Lucania’s defenders, and finally rushed into the mansion of the chieftain and captured the chieftain of Laos. At the time of Tula, he was hiding on the bed trembling, and lying beside him was a greek slave girl who was strangled to death and had a cold body. The angry Tua Union soldiers immediately pierced his chest with a lancet.
Avinojis kindly invited Felicius to lead his troops to camp in the city, but Felicius politely refused, and said: "Raos has just retaken, and the order in the city needs to be rectified. Our soldiers are too Many, I am afraid that it will add chaos to you in the city, and affect the friendship between Laos and Tua! We will leave after repairing for a while outside the city. Lord Davos has explained before coming!"
The persistence of Felicius and the Tua Alliance's initiative to take care of Laos made Avinojis very moved. When the money and livestock that were about to be seized were divided into half of the money and livestock, he was thankful.
Philipsius did not refuse. In addition to the spoils seized in Niutum, the Tua Alliance has gained a lot from its troop deployment. According to the order of the Senate, all cattle, sheep and livestock were left to Niutum, allowing Sesta to use them to assist the Lucarias who took refuge in the Tua Alliance. Most of the money was brought back to Turiyi, part of it was used as military assets, part was turned over to the treasury, and a small part was distributed to the soldiers as rewards. The captured weapons are donated to the Soldiers' Committee free of charge.
Felisius left the second and fourth brigade to temporarily guard Niutum, and led the rest of the troops to carry five-day rations, and left Laos and came to the entrance of the previous pass. The whole army stopped and followed Fei. Lysius ordered the construction of the camp.
The Alobumas accompanying him was surprised.
Faced with Alobmas’s question, Felixus truthfully replied: “The Senate’s order (actually Daves’ order), “After the capture of Laos and Niutum, the army must be at the pass A fortress was built at the entrance and soldiers were sent to garrison for a long time to prevent future army invasions from Lucania in the north. After encircling Niutum, they quickly blocked the mountain roads and blocked the Tua Alliance from Niutum and Las Russia. Support from Sri Lanka.'"
Alobumas was silent for a while, and asked: "The trade and personnel exchanges between Laos and Niutum..."
"It won't be affected in any way! They can pass the fortress without any charge!" Felicius said affirmatively.
In order not to undermine the good alliance relationship between Laos and the Tua Alliance, Arobmas had no choice but to approve it. In fact, both sides understand that building a fortress here to protect the mountain roads that connect with Turiyi is not just for the Tua Alliance to support Niutum smoothly in the future against the Lukaria army. In addition, if one day Laos rebels against the Alliance or has other abnormalities, the army of the Tua Alliance can still pass through the fortress and approach the city of Laos. This is an upright plan!
………………………
Sesta’s temporary chief executive’s residence was filled with many Lucarias who asked to join the alliance, lease livestock, and rent land early in the morning.
Sesta was overjoyed and asked Bagul and the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion to maintain order and act as an interpreter. The assistants of the household registration officer and the agricultural officer who accompanied the army were all ready.
Household registration, signature, handprint...
Write the lease agreement, sign, and handprint...
Who knows that more and more Lucanians are coming. Not only because of the group effect, but also because of the "Alternative Marriage Law" specially formulated by the Tua Union to quickly consolidate the newly occupied Niutum, which made some savvy Lucanians realize that the Tua Union must be quickly put together. Get the benefits given, otherwise there will be Greeks from Turii robbing them.
The northwest of Niutum is backed by the La River, and the opposite bank is a mountain forest that is not too steep; the southeast is a narrow, fairly flat valley with a width of less than two miles, leading directly to Laos; further east It is a continuous and insurmountable mountain range, with only one narrow road leading to Turri; only the northeast is between the upper reaches of the La and the upper reaches of the Agri River. Although the terrain is high, the soil is still fertile. It used to be many small The settlement of the tribe later fell under the control of Niutum. The shape of this area is irregular, the terrain is also rugged, and part of it is divided by mountains and fragments, and it is not easy to measure and distribute. Therefore, Bagul suggested to Sesta: According to the number of people in each tribe, the land should be allocated to the tribe, and the tax burden should be collected by the chief and the tribe. The Lucanians without tribes are allocated separately (in fact, this situation is relatively rare), which saves time and manpower, and also avoids direct friction and conflict between the Alliance and the Lucarians of Niutum.
Considering the particularity of the Lucanian Mountains and the Lucanian tribe, Sesta agreed with Baggul's opinion after thinking about it.
……………………
Just as Sesta racked his brains and was very busy to manage Niutum, Daves received an urgent report from the west, regarding Niutum and Lao. Si's victory was originally expected, and the only points of anxiety caused by not directing him personally were also eliminated. He has repeatedly warned himself not to learn from Napoleon. The Mediterranean Sea is very large. In the future, the Tua Alliance will encounter many enemies. He needs more excellent commanders who can independently command operations.
Sesta's performance in Niutum was beyond his expectation, but... he handed the sandpaper roll to Aristocrates, and asked a little angrily: "For Sesta to let Greece What do you think about the slave slaughter of Lucaria prisoners?"
After making the decision to let Asistes assist Sesta in governing Niutum, Daves did not intend to let Asistes come back as a clerk. The young eagle will eventually grow up. Independent soaring in the vast sky, but the clerk has to find another person.
Daves remembered the face of Plycinus who asked for a fugitive slave in Amendola, and Aristocrates who was able to calmly defend and impressed the senator in the Senate, so he sent Aristila. Si went to look for it, but he was working in the newly opened restaurant in the city of Turiy by Christoja. When Aristilas told him that Master Davos wanted to find a clerk (because the clerk is a public office) , Aristocrates is only a freedman, unable to serve), he readily accepts.
As a result, when Davers went home at night, he got a complaint from Christia, saying that he dug someone on his own head, and finally carried out "retaliation", almost squeezing him dry with his mouth and hands... …
"My lord, I don't know Niutum, so I can't comment." Compared with the quick-talking Asistes, Aristocrates, who has experienced hardship since childhood, is much more cautious. .
Davers glanced at him: Is this a vague reminder of himself?
Davers thought for a while, and said slowly: "You are right. We don’t understand Niutum’s situation better than Sesta. Since he has been appointed to manage Niutum, we will I should let him do it... I just didn’t expect this Sesta, who is usually not very eye-catching, and will do things so simply and violently. This is better than me!"
……………………
Because the Turiyi Senate Hall has not yet been completed, the afternoon meeting of the Senate will still be held in the Senate in Amendorara.
At the venue, Daves announced loudly: The Tua Alliance successfully captured Niutum and helped its ally, Avinojis, recapture Laos.
Although the veterans had received the news before the meeting, they still cheered loudly.
Davos then said passionately: "Everyone, from today onwards, the Tua Alliance has the territories of Tury, Amendorara, and Niutum. We also have Castellon and Lao Slovakia is the two allies that are our masters. Although Crimea remains neutral and Poseidonia is still in the hands of the Lucanians, we have more Niutum. In addition to the insufficient population, the trade is not enough. Prosperity, prestige is not enough. Basically, the Tua Alliance has restored the territory and allies of Sybaris a hundred years ago. We will recreate the glory of Sybaris in Great Greece!"
