"I will be like that in the future!" Saikerian shouted confidently, full of hope for the future: "Untie the rope, let's go into the sea!"

Lysias was also looking at the patrol captain in front of him, and then asked: "Are you citizens of Amendorara?"

The captain glanced at him and said: "No, we are citizens of the Tua League!"

"Oh, I'm sorry." Lycias asked politely: "I would like to ask how the Crotone soldiers who were captured by you are doing now?"

"I can't tell you exactly where they are being held, because this is a military secret!" The captain said solemnly, "But I can tell you that they are all doing well now, and even Master Daves injured the hospital. Soldiers of the elders are treated, but if your negotiation fails, their situation may not be so good. I heard that the veterans of the Turiyi of the Senate strongly recommend sending them to mine!"

Lucias was shocked: Letting captives mine mines is absolutely dead or alive! He remembers that after the failure of the Athenian army to attack Syracuse, Sicily, about five or six thousand people were taken prisoner, and they were finally sent to dig quarries. After a few years, almost all of them died! This made him feel a little nervous.

After a while, the soldier returned on horseback and whispered in the captain's ear: "Go the farthest way."

The captain understood immediately and said to the Crotone Envoy: "The Senate agrees to meet with you, let's go."

A group of people passed through the ruined port. After entering the city, Crotone’s envoys couldn’t believe their eyes: Compared with the deserted port just now, it’s full of people and noisy, both men and women, young and old. Busy. Some are cleaning up ashes and moving stones and rubble; others have begun to re-compact the ground and lay down piles on the cleared land according to the instructions of the craftsmen; more people are building wooden frames and laying stones beside the city walls. Blocks, building bricks; some people are making mortar, transporting bricks and wood, pushing water...?? The entire main city of Turiyi has become a large construction site, where people sweat and enthusiastically rebuild their homes. They were so focused that almost no one raised their heads to take a look when the Crotone envoy passed by.

Although thousands of people are working at the same time, they are noisy but not disordered, and they are organized in an orderly manner. Lucias noticed that some people with red ribbons on their heads played a major role in it. They directed and coordinated the operation of the construction site. The real host was a dry and thin old man who was constantly patrolling the surroundings. He stopped to compare the drawings when he found the problem, and then talked with the people who were around him, and soon someone rushed over to make corrections...

"Who is he?" someone in Crotone's envoy asked curiously.

"Hera Clyde, the disciple of the former Greek architect Hippodamus." The captain replied.

Hera Clyde originally completed the construction of Amendorara’s warehouses and hotels, and then continued to direct the construction of the avenue from Amendorara to Turíy. But after hearing that the Senate was preparing to rebuild Turey, he took the initiative to ask Ying to design and preside over the reconstruction of Turey.

Daves readily agreed and put forward some of his requirements for the construction of the new Turiyi city.

Hera Clyde has mixed emotions for this city that has recorded Heraclide's glory and lived for twenty years. He is so familiar with it, he can walk around the city smoothly with his eyes closed, and he can count the heights of the terrain and the straightness of the river bank... The design drawings of the new Turiyi city.

Daves admired it after seeing it. After that, Heraclide was soaked in the construction site every day, with great energy, and meticulously supervising the operation of the reconstruction work. His enthusiasm for work also infected the people who were rebuilding their homes for themselves, and the progress of the reconstruction continued to be accelerated.

Of course, the messengers in Crotone would not know the extent to which this dry and thin old man is now respected in Turei, and of course they cannot remember who Hippodamus is. They responded politely and turned their attention to other places.

Lysias asked unintentionally, "I'm afraid there are more than 40,000 people working here? There shouldn't be so many people in Turíy. Could it be that the Amendoras are among them? "

"There are indeed some of the people of Amendorara, but more of them are freedmen and slaves." The captain looked at Lucias, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said without concealing it: "Are you sure It’s strange, why these freedmen and slaves work so hard? Not only because they may become residents of this city in the future, but also because the consul Daves passed a temporary decree in the Senate, "Allow Turriy to live in widowhood." Of women and freedmen intermarried, but the woman must voluntarily.'"

"What?!" Lucias was taken aback.

"People of Crotone, you must know that Turri is not counted as a citizen who was massacred by your Crotone this time. More than 10,000 citizens died in the war with Lucania. There are almost all widows in Turiyi. I heard that Turiyi was planning to issue a decree'allowing citizens to marry multiple wives.' "It’s all right now. These free people naturally work hard in order to earn performance in front of the Turiyi women who are busy rebuilding their homes and gain their favor. You must know that once they succeed in being favored by the Turiyi women, not only can they Marrying a wife, and being able to immediately become a preparatory citizen of Tuli, is allocated a house, although the land cannot be divided, but as long as they join the army in the future, these are not problems. Speaking of which these guys are really lucky, there are so many well-educated people. Beautiful Turiyi women can choose. I think we were in Amendorara back then—"

"Captain, don't complain, your wife is a famous beauty from Amendorara, and also a Persian beauty. Don't you know how much other citizens envy you!" a soldier couldn't help but said.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!..." The captain laughed cheeky: "Of course! Of course! My wife is the most beautiful woman in Amendorara except the wife of the Archon! Beautiful and well-educated! I am complaining for you, I missed the good time!"

"My Lucaria woman is very good! Not only is she enthusiastic, she is tall and it is big..." A soldier patted his chest and said intoxicated: "Greek women can't be compared!"

……

A group of soldiers started arguing about whose beautiful woman was. The more they talked, the more vulgar they were, and Lycias was not interested in listening.

These decrees issued by the Tua Alliance are completely apostate to an orthodox Greek nobleman like Lysias. In Crotone-this kind of city has been built for hundreds of years, and the clan and patriarchal forces have been extremely stable. It’s impossible for the city-states to do so. But he has to admit that for the Turian people who have lost their homes and a large number of strong citizens, it is a good way to quickly boost the strength of the city-state. It's just that Turye, who can quickly regain strength and re-prosperity, and Turye, who is a life and death enemy with Crotone, is definitely not what Lycias wants to see!

Thinking of this, Lycias followed the team out of the city worriedly. On the way to the camp, "just in time" saw more than a dozen teams of soldiers training: they seemed to be playing a game. There were about fifty people on each side (in fact, it was a unit), and they wrapped long wood with coarse cloth on their heads. The stick is used as a spear, and the rough wooden board is used as a round shield. The two sides charge and stab like a real battle. The game is not over until one side is forced to retreat to the white line drawn with lime powder behind him. The loser needs both hands. Squat behind and jump around the field (that is, leapfrog) as punishment.

The scene is very hot and fierce. At first glance, you know that this kind of game is simulating actual combat. Lucias personally saw that several soldiers were stabbed and wounded and went directly to receive bandaging treatment. However, the enthusiasm of the soldiers remained undiminished. They kept applauding and rushing to enter the field. The **** nature and fighting desire of the soldiers were evident.

Someone in the messenger group asked curiously: "Do you usually train like this?"

The patrol captain chuckled and said: "We practice every five days. There are many training programs from early morning to evening in each training. This is just one of the less intense training programs."

The Crotone members of the Mission looked at each other. Obviously, the military training intensity of the Tua Alliance was significantly higher than that of Crotone citizens who spent most of their time in the arena.

Lysias didn’t fully believe the captain’s words, but from it we can see that Amendorara’s troops are a rigorously trained and battlefield force, otherwise it would not be possible to take Croto so easily. The army inside defeated, even though it was only a sneak attack.

Enter the camp and arrive in front of the big tent in the center. The patrol captain went in to report, and Lysias and his party waited outside the tent.

At this moment, when someone came out of the big tent, Lucias took a look, and felt very familiar, and couldn't remember who it was for a while.

The man didn't expect to meet Lycias at this time. He was taken aback, then calmed down again, smiled at Lycias, and immediately turned and left.

Lysias stared at his back, trying to think about who he was.

"My lord Archon, please go in!" The voice of the patrol captain came from behind.

Lysias settled down, opened the tent, and walked in.

……………………

The patrol captain led the soldiers out of the camp, and his serious expression suddenly turned into a smile: "Brothers, how did I behave just now?"

"Captain Olivers, you behaved so well! Very serious, two people are exactly the same as usual!" a soldier praised.

"I think it's a bit close. There is a joke about a woman in the middle, which is too much of your identity!" Another soldier raised his own objection.

"What?!" Oliver's eyes rounded, and said dissatisfied: "Xienotimas, you are not serious in performing the task today, you must accept punishment!"
