"I have heard about it." Sextus also sighed: "The Tomb of the Romans! It is said that the name on this tombstone was taken by King Daves, and Camillos was also named His ashes were also buried inside, I think... Although the name is simple, this is just a compliment to them..."
After saying this, there was a moment of silence between the two of them, and Sextus realized that he had said something wrong: praise these desperately resisting people, so what are these people who voluntarily surrendered?
So, he hurriedly turned the topic away: "The temples of Jupiter and Juno were also burned down. What a pity! If you want to build them again, I don't know when it will be!"
"Build again?!" Stolo shook his head and turned his gaze to the open space in front of him. There was a bit of pain and reluctance in his eyes, but also a trace of hatred. He said quietly: "There will be no more here. The temples of Jupiter, Juno, and Janus are now. I heard these Dionians say that they will build the Temple of Diana here, as well as the Hades Temple of Dionians and Hebrews. La Temple, Jupiter...gave up Rome, I think it won’t be long before he will be abandoned by the Romans..."
Sextus looked surprised, then looked at the clearings on the top of the mountain in a daze, but said nothing: The Temple of Diana was originally the most popular temple for Roman commoners to worship, and he followed During the period of the Dionian army's campaign, because the Dionians often spoke and closed their mouths and praised Hades, he was also affected. And after returning, he heard from his father that Hades was also popular among Roman civilians.
As for Hera, he only knows that this is a Greek goddess in charge of marriage and family, and it won't be too bad to think about it.
"I heard...you will soon follow the Dionian army to fight against the Carthaginians." Stolo asked suddenly.
"King Davos only announced this to us before returning to Rome, did you know so soon?" Sextus was a little surprised.
"I’m in the city hall temporarily to assist the Dionian officials. The current Roman Chief Executive Asistes also specifically asked me about the weaponry and equipment of our Roman citizen soldiers, how much food they have for a day, and whether Can adapt to the weight of the boat and march... I asked very detailed, so I guess you are going to go south." Stolo said with some confidence.
Because the soldiers have returned and I believe that the news of the expedition will spread soon, Sextus has nothing to hide. He said frankly: "King Davos has publicly promised not to send Rome The army was thrown into a difficult battle. But this time when they returned from victory, the soldiers received a lot of rewards, and some soldiers who performed well were also promoted immediately, so many people told me that they were worried about going south. I can’t get a fight, and I can’t get more exploits. I hope I can take the initiative to ask for a fight..."
Storo sighed: "Dionia is still very different from Rome. For civilians, they have more opportunities to rise!"
"Why, your heart moved?!" Sextus said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Just join the Roma Reserve Team now."
"I have a lot of business now, I am too busy, and I am afraid that the city hall will not let me go." Stolo complained with a bit of contentment: "And I'm also hurrying to get acquainted with Dionia's Law, prepare to pass their assessment and become a judge of this kingdom."
"May Diana bless you with early success!" Sextus sincerely wished: "I hope that one day we can all enter the Dionian Senate and fight for more rights and interests for us Romans!"
After listening to these words, Stolo's spirit was lifted, and his face was a little bit more energetic: "Let's work hard together!"
The two were full of ambitions, and they looked at the city of Rome under the mountain: Rome under reconstruction is also full of vitality, but it has a different pattern from the past...
……………………………………
At noon on the second day, Daves held a banquet again, but this time the guests were the envoys of the Latin allies and several Etruscan allies.
At the banquet, Davos once again emphasized the responsibilities and obligations of the allies in the Dionian League, and at the same time solemnly promised: Dionian will never interfere in their internal affairs and protect them. Territorial security.
Rome was completely destroyed. Where did these city-states dare to double-heartedly, the messengers rushed to say: They will absolutely abide by the Alliance of Dionia!
Since then, a huge alliance system with Dionia as its leader, Latin city-states and southern Etruscan city-states as subsidiary, Volsi and Herniki as strong supporters, has replaced Rome and stood tall in Central Italy shocked the surrounding forces.
That night, Daves again hosted a banquet for Assistus and Geogris in the house where he temporarily lived.
"I heard that this is the residence of Comineneus Marugineensis, the largest clan patriarch in Rome. Although the location of the residence is good, the interior decoration is very ordinary. It can also be seen that the nobles of Rome are not Advocating luxury." Davers took a sip and said casually.
"Your Majesty, you underestimate Marugineensis. He has several houses in the city, this is just one of them, and he has a larger house outside the city, with more than 600 acres. Land, and all the land along the river, there are hundreds of slaves..." Asistes briefly introduced Marugineensis's property.
Daves didn’t think of a pestle, instead he laughed: “It is precisely because these Roman nobles are aggressive and aggressive, leading to the anger of Roman civilians, that it is easier for us to win the hearts of Roman civilians, and they even treat us These nobles who surrendered forcibly moved their hands and applauded. For this, I really thank these nobles."
"Your Majesty, are you really going to let these surrendered Roman noble soldiers follow you to fight in Sicily?" Assistus asked with concern.
"Yes." Daves narrowed his smile and said with a serious face: "Even if this Roman army surrendered because of the plague, many people died, and after removing the wounded soldiers who lost their combat effectiveness, there are still some left. More than 7000 people, this is not a small force! I am afraid that after I led the army to leave Rome, they suddenly regretted it and were unwilling to leave Latium with their family members, and even launched a rebellion. It took a lot of effort to destroy our establishment here. The new order of the People’s Republic of China is always a factor of instability! And I use a larger army to guard them, so they don’t dare to mess around!"
"But they are not soldiers of the Roman reserve after all. Those people have basically returned to the kingdom. They have resentment in their hearts, and this time they are going to Sicily. Rome and Carthage are allies, in case they collude. ......" Assistus expressed his concerns.
Davers smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have a way."
Because of his consistent belief in Daves's ability, Asistes stopped persuading.
Davers looked at him and praised: "Yasi, it has only been a few months since you became the chief executive of Rome. The political situation in Rome is stable and the order is good. The various departments of the city hall have governed the city. Gradually, the results have been achieved, and the Roman people have gradually recognized Dionia and began to abide by the laws of the kingdom in an interesting way... Your achievements have exceeded my expectations!"
"Your Majesty." Asistes said humbly: "There are still many problems with the governance of Rome, and there are two most important problems. One is the language barrier, which reduces the efficiency of the execution of the order; and It is the contradiction between the migrated Dionian citizens and Roman civilians. This is also the reason for the increase in conflicts in Rome during this period."
Davers lightly chins his head and mutters: "The language barrier and the contradiction between old and new citizens...These are the most common problems we encounter when we conquer a new race. You are in Niutum, Knape Tia, Mesagne, Enrona have all served in succession, and have outstanding achievements in this regard, I believe you have a lot of experience in this regard, and will eventually solve it well. Moreover, Geogris will give you a lot. For help."
"Ah! Me?" Georgris, who was quietly tasting the food, felt a little surprised when he heard this.
"This time, the Fifth Legion you led will stay in Rome. Not only must you be ready to put out any possible riots at any time, and to ensure the kingdom's rule here—" Daves stared at him and said with a serious face:" Since the war here has just ended and order has not been fully restored, the Ministry of Military Affairs cannot immediately send military training officers to avoid turmoil when the citizens are brought together. However, with the Fifth Army as a guarantee, you can take advantage of the slack after the autumn harvest. Time, gather the citizens of Rome, Viais, Gaby, Kesreira, Phedna... Mixed together, let them gradually cultivate friendship in the rigorous training and fierce ball games, and learn simple Dionian language through frequent contact..."
"This is really a good idea!" Asistes interjected excitedly: "Your Majesty, do you remember?! Initially, we and the Lukanian tribe fighters in Bagul mainly used this method to let them I agree with us and fight with us in the end!"
"Yes, of course I remember." Davers said with emotion: "That was almost 20 years ago!"
Assistes had an idea, and immediately said: "I suggest that the Latham’s barracks be built just south of the river port and the granary, so that the barracks will not only be located in the center of these towns, but also solve the river port by the way. , The safety of the granary."
