When he heard what he said, Davers was also lost in thought, but after all, he had a lot of knowledge in his previous life, and he asked tentatively: "Can I build a cable bridge?"

"Cable bridge?" Little Heraclid immediately cast a consultative look. He has always attached great importance to Davers's opinions.

So Daves told little Heraclid about the general structure of the cable bridge (he didn't know much about it himself).

The young Heraclitus, who already has more experience in building bridges, suddenly brightened his eyes. He thought along the way, standing on the edge of the cliff from time to time and looking across the river: there are rolling low hills and lush woods. , Not an impassable area, as long as there is a bridge...

After walking for a while, Little Heraclid said to Daves: "It feels like it should be easier to build a cable bridge over the river. Of course, it will take specific experiments to make a conclusion. However, this cable bridge The most important material should be the rope. Looking at it all the way just now, it takes at least 50 meters long and tough rope to reach the opposite shore..."

"Rope is not a problem." En'anilus is worthy of being a shipbuilder, and interjected: "You only need to lengthen the rigging of the sailboat. I can guarantee that it is strong and durable."

"However, the number of people passing through the cable bridge at one time is limited, so we can build a few more." Davers also added.

Little Heraclid nodded, then stared at the ground and continued to think.

While marching, Daves’ gaze was carefully observing the surrounding terrain and landforms. From time to time, he saw Lucanians grazing in the forest on the right. They might be right. A huge team, especially the heavily armed First Brigade, seemed more nervous and guarded. Some simply hid behind trees and rocks to peep, and even the sheep ran out of the forest and ran into the team, afraid to come and ask for it.

"They should be the Lucanians of Niutum? The cattle and sheep they graze should be from the Lending Alliance, right?" Daves asked with interest.

So, Weisba took the sheep from the soldiers, walked to the edge of the forest, and called them in Lucanian.

After a while, he returned the sheep and came to Davers.

The veterans gathered around, wanting to know what he said to the locals here.

"Master Davos, they are indeed Niutum, but not all Lucanians. There is a Greek slave who was once Utrecht, now freed and married a Lucani The sub-widows are now prepared citizens of the Union. Two Lucanians who were once slaves are now prepared citizens of the Union. One of them married a Greek woman who was also a slave before. The other shepherds were all small tribesmen who had been oppressed by Utrecht and others, and now they are all prepared citizens of the alliance..." Weisba said one by one.

"What is their attitude towards the league?" Scombras asked.

Weesba took a look at him and replied: "They are very grateful to the Alliance for saving them! Now that they are citizens, they feel very free, just a little bit of complaint."

"What are you complaining about?!" Skombras asked urgently.

"Complained that the Alliance refused to let them rent more livestock." Weisba sullenly tried to keep himself from smiling.

"They had a good idea, but there were so many livestock. They asked for more, and others didn't have it." Scombras muttered.

"Do they object to the five percent tax?" Massissacus asked.

"The tax is much less than before. They now hope that the livestock can give birth to more cubs, because they are all owned by them." Weisba replied.

"It seems that Sesta and Bagul did a good job in Niutum. People here are already accepting us..." Daves smiled.

Even the former veterans who opposed the acceptance of Lucanians had to agree with Daves.

………………………

In the afternoon, Daves' team arrived in Niutum City.

Niutum is somewhat similar to Amendola. It is also built on a hillside, but its scale is larger than that of Amendola, and it is a wooden city wall.

Here, the cliffs on the east bank of the Ra River become sloping and gentle, and people can reach the river with ease. From here on, the terrain is getting higher, but the area is getting more and more open. The area between the Ra River and the upper reaches of the Sinni River is now called "fertile soil between the mountains" by the Lucanians. In fact, its terrain is not flat, but compared to the mountains, it is much better. Moreover, the land is more fertile and suitable for farming, so it has become a settlement of small tribes. This is obviously the reason why the Lukaria of Niutum chose to build a city here.

In the morning, Kesima was notified by the Chief Executive's residence: Davors, the life-long consul of the Dionian League, was about to visit.

Xima and other Lukaria youth enthusiastically signed up and came to greet him. After this period of publicity and the rumors heard before, Xima has long been eager to see the famous player in the league and The rumored "son of God".

Although it took a long time to wait, when he saw the arrival of the huge team, the already somewhat exhausted Xima quickly cheered up and followed Sesta strode forward. He saw the crowd surrounded by the crowd. Human: He is very young, but everyone around him has sincere respect for him, making him exude an indescribable majesty, but his face always has a cordial smile on everyone. They all responded with sincere greetings, and the majesty and gentleness formed a strange harmony in him...

"My lord, I violated the order of the Senate, I made a mistake!" Sesta said frankly to Daves.

"No, we don’t understand the situation here. You did a good job here! It turns out that you are an excellent city administrator. This is the common view of the veterans and I!" Daves is kind He affirmed his previous practice.

"Thank you, sir!" Sesta was relieved. He had heard from the slave sent by Felicius before, and the Senate was dissatisfied with his killing of the prisoners.

"Master Daves, hello!"

"Bagul, you have accomplished the mission assigned to you by the Alliance! I have also fulfilled my promise. Look, I have not only brought your father, your people, but also A special guest, guess who it is?" Compared with Sesta’s dialogue, Daves seemed more relaxed when facing Baggul and actually joked.

"I can't guess." Baggul replied, touching his head faintly.

"You look back."

"Ah...Andrea?!"

"It’s too late to recognize it now, and Andrea will punish you for forgetting her!" Daves joked, and Andrea gave Baggul a fierce look, her face full of tenderness. Red.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!..." Everyone laughed.

"I originally wanted to host the wedding here for you, but Andrea insisted on holding it at the Hera marriage celebration in April next year, so you can discuss it yourself, I can't help!" Dave Si's teasing drew another burst of laughter.

"Master Daves, hello! I am Hermon." A middle-aged strong man stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Oh, I know you! Sesta wrote a letter to praise you before, saying that you actively cooperated with him, stabilized the situation in the city, and helped him solve many problems. Thank you very much!" Daves immediately Praise loudly.

"It's okay, I'm also a citizen of the league!" Hemon felt that it was worth it to be busy to make the number one figure in the league remember him.

"Yes, it's very good to know this way! This alliance is mine and yours, it belongs to the Greeks, and it belongs to the Lucanians!..."

"You are right, Master Daves!"

……

Kexima listened and became excited unconsciously, feeling that he really seemed to be part of this league.

At this moment, Daves came to him.

"Master Daves, I am Xima!" He strode forward, saluting very respectfully.

Daves also returned a Lucania gift, and said happily: "You are a good friend of Baggul. I heard Baggul talk about you, and I am also his good friend. I wonder if I have a chance to be your good friend?"

"Of course! Of course!" Kexima agreed excitedly.

Daves always greeted the people who came out to greet him, and then asked Sesta: "Why didn't Asistes come?"

"Because the waiting time is a bit long, the second and fourth teams are going to play rugby games to kill time. Asistes is serving as a referee."

"Didn't I ask Izam to tell you that you don't have to call so many people out to greet you?!" Daves criticized.

"They came voluntarily, and they all hope to get your praise from your lord." Sesta explained hurriedly.

"But now, it seems that football is more attractive than me!" Davers joked, quelling any previous dissatisfaction.

He looked in the direction of Sesta's finger: There was a large circle of people not far to the north of the city gate, and there were cheers and exclamations from time to time...

"Turiyi hasn't started the game because the arena hasn't been built. You guys will get it here first!" Davers laughed.

"Yes, now the soldiers of the second and fourth teams are playing rugby games every day, which often attracts people here to gather and watch." Sesta said with some worry: "I'm afraid they are too addicted to this. The game has delayed business."

"So I have to tell Baggul and Dracos to take care of their soldiers." Daves nodded and said, "However, it seems that the citizens here also like this game."

"Master Daves, we like rugby games very much. Just watching the game is very exciting!" Kesima interjected.

"Will you guys play?" Davers asked with interest.

"Bagul said that we are not familiar with the rules of the game, let us watch and learn. In fact, we have already watched it!" Ulazar said dissatisfied.
