"Can aliens become citizens of your alliance?!" Zantiparis exclaimed.

Agarcia did not know the specific situation, and answered vaguely: "...Of course there are some special reasons for this, but our alliance is indeed more open and tolerant than other Greek city-states. It is also common for foreigners to become citizens of the alliance. For example, the Persian businessman you all know who used to follow Daves and their camp is now not only a Union citizen, but also a senior citizen of the Senate, serving as a senior public commercial officer."

"Wow!..." While everyone was amazed, someone said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Since the Persians can be the senators of the Senate, then we are the comrades who lived and died together with you in the early days. Shouldn't it be more important to become a senior member of the Senate?!"

"Yes! Yes!..." some people agreed.

In order to attract Timathon and the others to Great Greece, Agarcia said something unrealistic, but now he can't say anything more, but the coachman Soricos can't listen anymore and interjected:" You Gentiles, don’t talk nonsense. It’s not so easy to become a veteran of our Union Senate! According to the "Dionian Union Public Service Act", a citizen must first have at least six years of low-level public office and perform well before he can be promoted to a middle-level public office. After four to five years of work, it is possible to enter the Senate with outstanding performance, but first of all, pay taxes on time every year, actively participate in the army and fight, and there is no record of violations of laws and discipline... You can tell, it is easy to become a Senate. As for the current senator’s veterans who have contributed to the establishment of the alliance, as you said, the Persian Mariji, Turri’s port and market can be as prosperous as they are today, it is entirely his credit. There are also Lukanians, Wesba and Bagul, who have newly joined the Senate. I heard that it is because of them that Niutum can calm down so quickly! Gentiles, you will become the Senate with your mouth shut. Elder, what have you done for the alliance!"

The mercenaries are speechless for a while.

"So, if you want to stay in the alliance and develop, you should be more realistic, first become a citizen of the alliance before speaking." Solicos was somewhat contented, and conscientiously advised.

"Smelly old man, it's annoying to talk so much nonsense!" The mercenary Torax and some young team officers yelled in anger and irritation. They were quickly persuaded by Tima Song, but they had already angered the coachmen, and they immediately shouted. The mercenaries got out of the car. Some mercenaries persisted. The two sides began to argue. Agarcia persuaded him in the middle, and Solicos also persuaded his companions. With the assistance of Timathon and Zanteparis, the two sides reached an agreement. After reconciliation, it almost attracted interference from the patrol that maintained order outside the city.

Sorikos and the coachmen collected the fare and drove the carriage away from the mercenaries.

Soricos looked at the strong backs of these mercenaries, and said to the others worriedly: "If these people stay in Turiyi for a long time, I'm afraid it will be enough for the patrol to have a headache."

At this moment, Timathon is asking Agarcia in a low voice: "Is it so difficult to become a senator of the Dionian League?"

Agarcia nodded silently.

"If you had known that you would have the status that you are today, we should have followed in Byzantium!" Zantiparis sighed regretfully, and said: "This is the arrangement of the Goddess of Destiny, there is no way. Let’s take a closer look! You don’t have to be a senator, you don’t have to be a citizen, it’s nice to have land!"

"Then we might as well be free in Asia Minor. There is no need to go to this remote place and have to be constrained in this way, right? Agarcia!" Kriano said angrily.

Agarcia was embarrassed and didn't know how to respond, and the group looked at the parade with their own thoughts.

The ranks and marching of the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion are not very neat, but they are tall, strong and attractive. For the first time, these Lucarias from the mountainous areas received cheers and praise under the eyes of the public, and they left behind their usual inferiority and restraint as alien races. They were all very excited, and some even waved to the onlookers.

After the fourth brigade of 1,000 people passed by, a dozen or so panniers were followed. The cars were full of gold and silver utensils and gold that were seized by the troops from Niutum and distributed from Laos. Silver statues, jewels, gold and silver coins... etc., full of dozens of cars, glittering and dazzling.

The people were even more amazed. If it weren't for the mighty soldiers guarding the trailer, someone would have come forward to grab a handful.

War not only brings death, but also wealth! Daves used this most direct way to show it to the Senate and the Union people.

"Should all your spoils be handed over to the Alliance?" Timathon asked curiously.

Agarcia replied: "A small part should be allocated to the soldiers participating in the war, and most of them will be turned over to the national treasury. Private possession is not allowed."

"If there is no loot, there will be no passion for fighting. Who wants to fight desperately!" Crianno said dissatisfied.

Agarcia thought for a while, and said sternly: "They are Union citizens. It is their responsibility to join the army to fight and defend their territory. What's more, after the spoils are handed in, they will eventually be used on them. The soldiers' compensation and disability. The care of soldiers, the maintenance and replacement of weapons and equipment, etc., do we have these benefits when we were mercenaries before?! Think about the brothers who died on the battlefield and couldn’t even return to their hometown!!" Ah Garcia's words were a bit angry, and he was obviously dissatisfied with the frequent finding faults of these people who were once comrades-in-arms.

Crianlo snorted and stopped talking.

Thomasong and Zanteparis were greatly moved.

At this moment, Tolmeide exclaimed again: "Look, who is that?!"

After the pack wagon passed, five wagons appeared. The first one was a wagon pulled by two pure white horses. , Was changed to double horses), a man stood tall on a beautifully carved carriage. He was dressed in bright armor, except that he did not wear a helmet. This was for the public to see his face clearly. However, his expression was a bit serious, obviously There are also some who are not suitable for such a lively occasion.

"Felicius! That's Felicius!" the mercenaries exclaimed.

The people are also chanting his name, setting off a wave of cheers: "Felicius! Hero of the Alliance! You defeated the Lucanians!..."

Philips, who was surrounded by the people on the inner and outer third floors, certainly couldn't see the former comrades who were separated from him. Faced with the sincere gratitude of the people, he finally squeezed a little smile and waved his arms around.

The mercenaries didn’t know the man in the second wagon pulled by a variegated horse. After listening to Agarcia’s introduction, he realized that it was Dracos, the captain of the second squadron of the League’s First Army. A mercenary who participated in all the battles since Daves' arrival in Great Greece did he get his current status.

The person on the third carriage made the mercenaries exclaim again: "Hironimos!!"

The Hieronymus, who was squeezed out of the leader position by Xenophon, had been ridiculed by many people secretly, and some even despised him for following Daves in Byzantium, thinking that he was Destroy oneself, give up dignity, and follow a young man whose experience and qualifications are not as good as his. Now, the man they look down on stands tall on the carriage. Although his expression is as serious as a wooden sculpture, the cheers of the people have not diminished at all. It can be seen that he is already a pivotal figure in the league. The minds of the mercenaries are mixed...

The people in the carriage that followed, they didn't know each other, but he looked like a Lucanian. He is the Captain Bagul of the Fourth Group. As the only Lucaria rider in a carriage, he participated in the triumphal ceremony. He was both proud and scared. He was afraid that the people of the Alliance would be left out because he is a foreign race, but The joyous scene at the scene made him relieved: this is the case outside the city, and there is no need to worry in the city. There is his father Wesbah, as well as a large number of Niutum such as Hermon, Xima, and Ulaza. Lucalia prepares citizens to come to Turii to observe the salute. He was thinking: At this moment, his image on the carriage will definitely inspire the Union's Lucanians to play more actively for the Union!

The man in the last carriage made the mercenaries exclaim again: "That's Epithenis!!"

Because Epithenis was well-versed, he had a good relationship with the leaders of other camps during the expedition to Persia, and everyone knew him well. At this moment, he was all smiles, waving his hands around him, his movements were chic and free, and some freedmen’s women chanted his name in an attempt to attract his attention, but what they didn’t know was: the captain of the seventh brigade to the man The interest is more than that of women.

Looking at the high spirits of these former comrades-in-arms, you can imagine the loss in their hearts. You must know that in Persia, Felicius was only an adjutant, Epithenis was just a team officer, and Hilolimus was a frustrated general. How could it be like Timathon, Zanteparis, Krian? Nuo and the others commanded thousands of soldiers and discussed together to determine the life and death fate of the entire mercenary... But now, the former soldiers are prominent in the huge alliance, and the former power-holder has fought in Asia Minor for a year, and in the end it is still a city-state. Disgusting mercenaries, the strong gap after this contrast made Timathon and Kriano feel very uncomfortable.

When the legionary banner entered the north gate, colorful petals were sprinkled from the sky above, and the petals fell on the soldiers, adding a bit of romance to the heroic soldiers...

There was even more enthusiastic cheers in the city. Enter Turiyi City from the north gate, walk two blocks forward, then turn west, you can go straight to the square.
