"Hehe, that's because he hasn't played enough himself!" Daves said, interested: "Do you want to play?"
"Of course I do!..." The youths of Lucania rushed to answer.
"Well! I'll be a quarterback, who of you wants to form a team with me to challenge the winner of their game?" Davers said loudly.
"I am willing!" Kexima hurriedly shouted.
Ulaza also stepped forward... and soon formed a team of fifty-five people. Except for Daves and the captain of the guard, Martius, who are Greeks, the rest are all Lukaria tribe youths. . Davers led them to the arena with excitement. More Lucanians followed. The guard did not stop them because of Davers’s instructions before, so they could only take the fifty Five people guarded the middle.
Sesta hurriedly grabbed Capus, hoping that he would command the soldiers of the first brigade to maintain order in the arena.
The family members of the fourth team were arranged to enter the city, while the veterans of Turiyi walked slowly to the arena.
"Wesba, you really became the veteran of the Diorian League Senate as your son said?!" Hemeng looked at Weisba among the elders with envy. He dressed like the other elders. His costumes seem to have the aura of a big man in every gesture.
This envious look greatly satisfied Weisbah’s vanity. It was not only Hermon’s performance. Many previous acquaintances looked at him differently from the past. It was a kind of surprise, fear and The respectful mix made Weisba feel like he was homecoming, and this kind of pleasure overwhelmed his guilt of taking refuge in the "enemy".
"Of course it's true!" Weisba replied affirmatively, and shook Bolton's sleeves as the other elders did, revealing the purple sleeves that symbolized the elders of the Senate: "Just now the Archon Didn’t your lord say, “The alliance is Greek and Lukaria’s.” Therefore, it’s normal for Lukanians to enter the Senate of the Alliance and become senators!"
"Master Daves is really friendly to us Lucanians, and being able to get the approval of those young people so quickly shows that he is sincere and has no prejudice against the Lucanians! But--"Hermon Pointing to the veterans in front of Turiyi concealedly, he whispered: "Their attitude seems to be worse."
"There is no way! They are neither Tury nor Amendoras. They have all suffered from our Lucanians. It is impossible for them to change their attitude in a short period of time. Daves The adults said,'It takes time to slowly change them.' Fortunately, the Alliance is mainly the consul master!" Weisba also whispered frankly.
"What do you do as a Senator?" Hermon asked curiously.
"Propose suggestions, pass bills, discuss major events in the alliance, and assist the consul to come up with solutions..." Weisbar said with complacency: "Sometimes he is also responsible for some specific affairs, such as I am now in charge of the affairs of the citizens of Lucania and the area of Lucania. As long as there are issues related to Lucania, the Senate will first seek my opinion, and I can also put forward my own opinions regarding the protection of the interests of the people of Lucania. The proposal and plan of the company is like... um... um... like levying a 5% tax on the citizens of Lucania in Niutum, which is my suggestion. Ten percent of the land is charged..." This is obviously Weisba's bragging. When this proposal was passed, he had not yet entered the Senate.
"Oh! You did a great thing for us!..." He looked at him in admiration, which made Weisba more contented, but fortunately he has not forgotten his main mission in Niutum. "It’s just that the Lucanians only have me and Bagul in the Senate. Bagul may remain in Niutum in the future. My power alone is too weak, and I cannot argue with so many Greek elders. Can't win more benefits for the citizens of Lucania! Alas..."
"Then...can other Lukarians also become...the senators of the Senate?! This can also help you and get more benefits for us Lukarians!" Hermon asked eagerly road.
Wesba smiled inwardly: What other Lucanians, isn't it you? What to pretend, it's not that I don't know what kind of person you are!
He cleared his throat and said, "Of course, as long as he can make a big contribution to the alliance, such as letting more Lukaria tribes join the alliance and get more support from Lukanians, Being able to complete some difficult tasks in the Lukania area... etc., so that the Senate feels that he can play a greater role in the affairs of Lukania, then becoming a Senate Senator is an easy task... …"
Hermon listened attentively, with a scorching light in his eyes...

In the evening, Daves and the elders listened to Sesta's report at the Chief Executive's residence.
"As of today, Niutum has registered 2,503 prospective citizens, of which 2,201 are Lucaria and 302 are Greeks. In these days, there have been 627 mixed marriages between the Greeks and the Lucanians. We have allocated 785 cows and 5,400 sheep, leaving two hundred and three. The cattle and two thousand sheep are ready to be allocated to the soldiers of the fourth brigade." Asistes said here, Baggul immediately expressed his gratitude.
"Now Niutum’s small tribes, captives, and slaves have all become reserve citizens of the Alliance. If the fourth brigade settles here, then Niutum counts as reserve citizens, a total of 3,450 Five citizens..." Asistes had just finished speaking, Daves said directly: "I can tell you clearly that the fourth brigade will settle in Niutum and become stable and defending Niutum. The backbone of the world!"
"This is exactly what the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade hope for! As citizens of the Alliance, we will definitely control Niutum firmly in the Alliance!" Bagul solemnly stated.
The elders nodded one after another, and they were satisfied with the answer.
"Master Sesta, Bagul and Asistes, you can stabilize the situation in Niutum in such a short period of time and have made so many achievements. On behalf of the Senate, I treat you well My sincere respect for his performance!" As he said, Davers took the lead and applauded with the veterans.
All three of them seemed a little excited during the applause: Sesta was excited because he used his performance to prove to Daves that his talents were not worse than those of the leaders of the Persian expedition, which attracted the attention of the consul; Bagul was excited because he and his Lucanians’ performances were recognized by these Greek elders, making it easier to integrate into this alliance; Assistus was excited because he proved to Daves that he had independence. The ability to hold a position, perhaps the next time Daves will assign him a more important task.
"In addition, I heard from Baggul that small tribe leaders such as Hermon, Xima, and Ulaza are going to send people to the mountains to persuade the tribes who fled into the mountains to come down and join the alliance. The Sri Lankan came to Niutum and asked to join the alliance." Asistes added.
"Our cattle and sheep have been separated, what should we do?" Skomblas asked hurriedly.
"These tribes have livestock. We only need to allocate land to them, and we have enough land." Baggul replied.
"Even if the'fertile soil between the mountains and ridges' has been divided in the future, it can still be divided in the past. Now after the land in Turiyi is handed over to the preparatory citizens for rent, there are still many lands to the west that are vacant (mainly It is the high-lying land west of the Koseni River and the Delos River), which was originally intended to be leased to free citizens who are registered to apply for pre-citizenship." Daves reminded everyone.
Some elders nodded, while others hesitated.
"As for the Raos people, we must put aside for a while, wait until Avinojis arrives, and discuss it later." Daves said hesitantly.
"Will Avinojis come?" Massissacus asked uncertainly.
"He must come!" Protcilaus said loudly, "The Alliance helped him capture Laos, and he hasn't thanked us yet. Now that we have reached Niutum, he is not coming yet, could it? Let us as the leader go to Laos!"
"Maybe he didn't know that we were here." Sesta said a kind word for Avinojis.
"Raos and Niutum have always been in contact. With so many of us and such a big battle, he cannot fail to hear from him. We will know that he will not come until tomorrow. If he does not come, then we will We need to reconsider how much Raos’s sincerity towards the alliance!” Daves understands that Sesta, as the chief executive of Niutum, will need Raus’s support in the future, but Daves, as the consul, needs to follow Consider the overall situation at a higher position.
Daves' words made the elders agree.
"Sesta and Bagul, after you have settled the people of Niutum, you must arrest the military training. I will send the instructors of the Felicius to train. The youth of the tribes must be beaten. If there are not enough Greeks, try to mix with Greek citizens. If there are not enough Greeks, mix with other tribes. You must not bring together fighters from all tribes! Also... Rugby matches can be held as many times as possible, I think Lucaria Young people like this game very much!"
"Yes, my lord. Kesimah and they have told me many times that the game of rugby is much more interesting than bullfighting. We Lukanians like this intense sport!" Bagul interjected.
"Then let them compete, but the Greeks and Lukanians must also be mixed into a team, which will also help the Lukanians learn to speak Greek. Oh... Speaking of this, Pakistan Gülle, you have to find a way to let the Lucarias of Niutum learn to speak Greek as much as possible!"
"I try my best, my lord."
