When Archieta walked into the expeditionary camp, every tent that passed by kept cheering. The air was filled with excitement and happiness. Even the heavy heart was infected, and he couldn't help sighing: This mercenary troop deserves to be a powerful force that has experienced many battles and caused headaches for the great powers of Persia! During the day, he saw with his own eyes how these mercenaries used novel tactics and fierce offensives to beat the Lucanians, and after the defeat of the battle, it was even more commendable to maintain such a high morale!
Achita's desire to see Daves immediately grew stronger.
As soon as he got out of the account, the young man who made him feel good about it came out to greet him, saying: "General Archita, we are going to attack the Lucanian tribe's coalition tomorrow, hoping to get The help of Tarantum reinforcements!"
Achita couldn't believe her ears: "...You mean to attack the Lucanian tribe's coalition forces?"
"Yes!"
"Is it the 15,000-man Lucaria tribal coalition in the west, not the Lucarias in Amendorara?" Achita asked again uncertainly. .
"Yes, it is the Allied Forces of the Lucania tribe to the west!" Daves nodded heavily
After Aceta got the affirmative answer, he stared at Daves for a while, barely suppressing his excitement, and said: "...what are you going to do?"
"Come on, let's say in the account." Daves hurriedly led Aceta into the account, went to the map, and explained his plans in detail...
Achita rested her hand on her jaw, pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "I have to say that this is a very bold plan, which has almost used the strength of the troops to the extreme, and it has a certain degree of feasibility. For me Very tempting..."
"So, will the Tarantum reinforcements join?" Davers asked.
Achita was silent, and Daves was not in a hurry. After a long silence, when Archita saw that Daves was still calm, he couldn't help saying: "It seems that you think I will agree."
"I heard that Heraclea is an ally of Tarantum. If we win tomorrow, Tarantum will no longer have to worry about the problems in the west and can deal with the Mesapi people with all his strength." Daves Said slowly. In fact, his words are quite polite. Heraclea is not just an ally of Tarantum. He is actually an affiliate controlled by Tarantum. Twenty years ago its people in power were not even Tarantum immigrants or Tarantum’s direct delegation. Although it is no longer a sub-state of Tarantum as before, Tarantum's influence on Heraclea is still strong, and he regards it as a barrier to the west. If the Lucanians are allowed to occupy the Subari Plain and occupy the Amendorara adjacent to Heraclea, the threat to Heraclea will be too great, and may even threaten the further north. Metapontum, this is also an important reason why Tarantum sent reinforcements.
Achita finally nodded: "The Tarantums are very happy to be able to fight side by side with the Greek warriors on the expedition to Persia!"
"That's great! It is precisely because of the Tarantum reinforcements led by Achita that I dare to propose this plan, because your combat effectiveness is also very strong!" Daves said sincerely.
After the two discussed the details, Aceta suddenly said, "Daves, I have a suggestion that I want you to consider."
"Say, please." Daves was taken aback when he saw his serious expression.
"Regardless of whether the next battle is victory or defeat, I sincerely invite you to become a citizen of Tarantum! And I will recommend to the Senate with all my strength, I hope you will take up an important administrative position!" Archita solemnly did Commitment.
Daves did not expect that Archieta would make such a request, which caught him off guard: "...um...well, I heard that it is difficult for a foreigner to become a citizen of a big city."
"Yes." Achita nodded frankly, but he immediately changed his words: "However, someone with extraordinary talents like you will be warmly invited in any city-state in Great Greece! After all, this is not Athens. , Here are all colonial cities. The key is that they must have the vision to discover talents!" Achita pointed to his eyes contentedly.
"Just me, not including my brothers?" Daves thought of a reason for rejection.
"With so many people joining Tarantum, it is not the consuls or the Senate that can decide. It is difficult to convene a citizens' assembly to make a collective vote." Achita said embarrassedly.
"Thank you for your invitation. After the battle tomorrow, I will seriously consider this issue." Daves pretended to be serious and said.
…………………………
For Daves' invitation, Adrianks, Cesta, and even Dracos are all here.
Davers told them of his plan, and the three were shocked.
Because in today’s battle, they didn’t suffer as much damage as the Tarantum reinforcements and Daves mercenaries. The number of casualties amounted to 400 people, especially Dracos’ mercenaries. With only two thousand people, they can be said to have broken their muscles and bones. If they agree to Davers' request, the casualties are estimated to be even greater, so Adrianx and Sesta are a little hesitant.
"Leader Davos, I am willing to participate in tomorrow's battle!" Dracos, who had been depressed all the time, said suddenly, surprised the other two.
"The Lucanians are nothing scary, but the Turyes dragged me down today. I believe that fighting with you tomorrow will definitely make them taste defeat!" Dracos said unwillingly.
Daves did not expect that the first person to agree would be Dracos, who had fought with him, which made him admire the big boss's desire and toughness to fight. Seeing that the other two were still hesitating, he immediately said: "The attack on the Lukanian tribe's coalition is not for Turri's poor salary, but for defeating them, we will retake Amendorara and become the masters there. !"
Davers' words shocked the three again.
"You are sure of taking the city of Amendorara?" Sesta asked in surprise.
"We have attacked many cities in Persia, a small mountain city is really not a problem!" Daves said confidently: "At that time, we will invite you to become citizens of Amendorara together. Get the land there and lay a foundation in the wealthy Great Greece! Of course, if you just want to return to the war-prone and barren Ionia, just treat it as I didn’t say it."
"You...are true?!...really giving us land?!" Adrianx stammered.
"Of course, this is the common decision of all of us!" Daves said sternly.
"But...but..." Adrianks calmed his excitement slightly and asked: "Turiyi and Tarantum will not object?"
"Turiyi has been hit hard, and it has no ability to oppose it." Daves smiled contemptuously: "As for Tarantum, maybe they will be happy that we did it because we have the ability to defend Amendorara. , And keep Tarantum’s western border from being violated by the hill tribes."
The three looked at each other and said in unison: "We are willing to join you!"
"Great!" Daves said happily: "Now we are a family! Let us fight together for our own future!"
After the four discussed the details of the plan, Daves urged them to keep the secrets and keep them from the Tarantums for now.
After sending off the three people, Daves is going to let the free people who are going back to Turiyi go back, and ask Burcos to come to the camp quickly and discuss urgent matters. Unexpectedly, the guards came in and said: "Burks has been asking for a meeting outside the camp."
Davers was surprised, and immediately thought of the urgent needs of the city hall and council of Turriy at this moment.
Sure enough, as soon as Burkos entered the big tent, he couldn't wait to ask: "Chief Daves, are you still going to continue to implement the original agreement?"
Davers said with a sullen expression and said: "I am a person who keeps promises, but the problem now is that the battle has failed. When my team was retreating, I lost a lot of weapons and many people were injured. Tomorrow. , The Lucanians will definitely attack here! My troops lack both weapons and manpower, I am afraid they are unable to resist. Before you came, the team officials had just discussed with me, and they proposed to leave here even if they don’t need pay! "
