The rooftops on the street are full of people. They cordially shouted the names of their loved ones, interacted with the advancing soldiers in excitement, and proudly introduced their husbands or fathers in the team to their neighbors, and let each A soldier has a feeling of returning home.

When Felicius, who was advancing, passed by his house, he subconsciously looked over. On the roof of his house crowded with people, isn't the young man called Jumping and Jumping the same as Melisanda! In the noisy crowd, he could faintly hear Melisanda's shout: "That's my father! That's my father! Father! Father!..." And beside him, Delia was looking at him. With a smile...

Philipsius smiled, this is a smile from the heart...

The marching army turned westward, and there stood a huge arch made of white marble. This is what Davers called the triumphal arch: the vault is the statue of the goddess of victory, and the lintel wall is according to Davers’s opinion. Engraving: The battle to annihilate the allied forces of the Lucanian tribe, the night capture of Amendorara, the surprise attack on the Crotone army, and the clever takeover of Niutum. People remember. However, due to time constraints, a good carver has not yet been found, and the arch is still blank for the time being.

After passing through the Arc de Triomphe and heading west, the road gradually widened, and at the end of the road was the newly built square. Due to time constraints, there was no time to name it, so it was put into use.

Lizam, who raised the flag high, speeded up his pace, because he had vaguely seen dozens of white figures on the platform of the square. According to the instructions in advance, he knew that they belonged to the consul Daves and the Senate, whom he respected. The elders are waiting for their arrival.

"They are here! They are here!..." Henipolis exclaimed excitedly.

"Quiet, son." Avinojis held down the restless Hernipolis and said to Daves: "My lord, thank you for taking care of Hernipolis during this time!" After Nepolis arrived in Turri, Daves did not arrange him in a hotel, but let him stay in his own home.

"Henipolis is very sensible! And loves to learn! His teacher Ansitanos likes him very much! And after he came, my house is also a lot of lively!" Daves said with a smile.

In the past two days, Avinojis learned from Hernipolis that Daves took good care of his son. He was not a person who would be grateful, and he secretly made up his mind to have a good chance in the future. In return for Davers's kindness, the topic changed: "My lord, your warriors are here!"

"They are not only the warriors of the alliance, but also the warriors of our alliance, guarding the safety of the entire alliance!" Daves said with a smile.

Castelron's chief general Amiklis nodded in agreement. As a member of the League of Dionia, the top leaders of Castellon and Laos were of course invited to watch the ceremony, and they were all happy to attend.

At this moment, seeing the army marching toward them neatly like long dragons in the distance, they did not feel that the Alliance of Dionia was showing off their strength to them, because the Alliance of Dionia, as the leader, would not be like Delos. The Athens in the alliance did not consider the wishes of the allies and desperately exploited the allies and demanded tribute; it would not arbitrarily intervene in the internal affairs of the allies like Sparta in the Peloponnesian League. As for sending troops to war, it was an obligation of an allied city-state, but it was a manifestation of equality. Therefore, the stronger the Dionian Alliance, the more secure they feel as an alliance.

Daves looked at the team coming to the square, thinking in his mind: The reason why he did not let the generals on the expedition go in the forefront like Rome in the previous life, but let the soldiers take the lead: One is to train soldiers Our sense of honor further demonstrates the alliance’s concept of equality, which will greatly improve the morale of the troops; the second is to reduce the influence of the victorious generals on the people, so as to avoid some accidents in the long run. For this reason, he also added Felicius. It was placed in the most inconspicuous middle position of the team, and at the same time, several captains also enjoyed the honor of riding a carriage, and it was also for this purpose. Even so, for soldiers, this kind of novel victory celebration ceremony that has never been held in a Greek city-state is a great honor.

The bronze horn rang, the drums rang, and the soldiers began to enter the square.

"Oh, I can't believe it! Lizaru turned out to be at the forefront!"

"Which Lizaru?"

"The famous hunters of Bagul and his tribe!"

"Look! He actually walked ahead, ahead of the Greeks. The Alliance really has no prejudice against us Lucaria!"

"Look! Look! Baggul! There is Baggul sitting in the carriage! It's so enviable!!"

"When will I be like him?!!!"

……

Among the crowds on the side of the square, the Lukanians from Niutum, such as Kesima, Ulaza, and Hermon, shouted and screamed, dancing with excitement...

Of course, Baggul couldn’t see them in the dense crowd. Mishou drove a horse-drawn carriage. After going around the field, he led him into the center of the square, but his majestic figure was like a big rock that aroused Lu. The huge wave in the heart of Kalia's youth: a warrior should enjoy such glory like him!

When the drum horn stopped and the square was silent, the soldiers looked up at the Alliance Archon standing on the platform in front.

Daves took a step forward and said loudly: "Alliance warriors, in these 20-odd days, you have been far away from your loved ones and rushed to unfamiliar mountainous areas, fighting stubbornly against the fierce enemy, and taking the Nigeria Utum, at the same time, assisted the allies in restoring Laos, and solved the problem that Turri had been attacked by enemies from the mountains for many years. The people thank you! The Senate thank you! The Alliance thank you! The Senate and I have done for you. I would like to extend my most sacred thanks for his efforts and sacrifices!!" As he said, he took the lead and solemnly bowed to the soldiers in front of him with the veterans behind him.

The square boiled instantly.

"Wansheng!"

"Wansheng!!"

"Wansheng!!!"

……

The soldiers shouted in excitement.

"It is precisely because of your efforts that the Dionian Alliance was officially established! After the Senate deliberated and decided, the triumphantly held today will be a festival for the entire Alliance to celebrate the birth of the Alliance! And your banner will also become the Alliance The flag of China is flying over the square!"

"Alliance Wins! Alliance Wins! Alliance Wins!!!!..."

Listening to the cheers of the soldiers and people, Daves believes that the National Day and the national flag will unite the people from all the Mediterranean city-states and races under the alliance, and gradually form a brand new race. Weight!

………………………

In the afternoon, Daves hosted a banquet at Turri’s mansion in honor of Timathon, Zanteparis, Crianno, and Tolmeide. Accompanying the banquet were Agarcia and Ferry. Seuss, Hironimos.

Eating novel and delicious food, drinking fragrant wine, and recalling the scene of fighting together in the past, the atmosphere of the banquet was quite warm.

At this moment, Criano burped and asked: "Davers, look at your beautiful courtyard, and you are the consul, and what kind of army commander you are. It's really enviable... Uh...when will we be like you?!"

The topic is here! Agarcia immediately raised his spirits.

Davers smiled, and said sternly: "As long as you work hard to make your contribution to the alliance, become a citizen of the alliance, share the land, and get a life like me, it is not a problem at all! In fact, in the alliance There are more people richer than me..."

"Contribution? What kind of contribution?! I heard that it takes five years to become an official citizen of your alliance, not to mention becoming a senator, which is even more difficult!" Liano complained.

"Yes, the Union's law stipulates this. All Gentiles and freedmen are executed in accordance with this, without exception!" Daves said calmly but firmly.

"But—" Criano pretended to be drunk, pointed to Agarcia, and said loudly, "Uh... Agarcia didn't say that to us in Ephesus. He said, "Just When we come to Great Greece, we will soon become citizens and get land! We even become senators of the Senate!' It is because of what he said that we have come to such a far place. Now you tell me that it will take five years to achieve this. All of this, isn’t this a lie?! And I heard that those Lucaria soldiers in the triumphal parade were still slaves half a year ago, and after half a year they are already official citizens, and their leaders have become the senators of the Senate, isn’t it? We are not even as good as the indigenous people?!!!"

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly solidified.

Agarcia clenched his fists angrily. In order to attract Timathon and the others, he said some leading words, but it was by no means as exaggerated as Criano. He wanted to refute, but in such a situation, he would undoubtedly make the scene even more rigid.

Agarcia was hesitating, and Felicius also stopped talking, Hieronymus frowned and looked at Daves. On this side, Timathon, Zanteparis, and Tolmeide didn’t seem to hear them. They continued to eat their food, but they pricked their ears in secret...

Davos remained unchanged, casting a comforting look at Agarcia, and said unhurriedly: "Criano, don't worry, sit down and listen to me..."

Criano made a fire, but it seemed to hit a damp cotton cloth, which seemed to have no effect...

He sat down angrily.

"To tell the truth, why do some people take five years, and some people only half a year? It's all about profit!" Daves looked at these mercenary leaders and said seriously: "Because Lucaria People can help the Alliance defeat Niutum, and even help the Alliance conquer more Lucania territories. What's more, they have already made a lot of contributions to the Alliance before. They built the highway you came by. They helped defeat the Crotone army. They also actively learn Greek, understand and abide by the laws of the alliance. For such a group of aliens who are willing to join the alliance and can bring great benefits to the alliance, the Senate must give it in advance. They have citizenship rights, and the people don’t have any objections, because they all know that the alliance gets more than what it pays!

Agarcia is right. Although you don’t have the advantage of natives like the Lucarias, you are good at fighting, and there will be no less wars in the alliance in the future. As long as you repeatedly win battles, let The Senate sees your value, so becoming a citizen a few years in advance is not a problem! "
