Third, Crotone does not interfere with Castellon's membership in the Tua League, but Crimea must remain neutral. (After all, Crimea is very close to Crotone. Joining the Tua League is like a sharp knife hitting Crotone’s abdomen. Of course, Lycias could not agree, and Mariji did not insist, because Tua The League of Arab States did not have enough strength to help Crimea defend against the enemy’s offensive, but Daves still decided to release the prisoner of Crimea six months later in accordance with the redemption terms signed with Crotone. The messenger of Sa is grateful for his gratitude and promised: "No more enemies with the Tua Alliance!")
Fourth, the Tua Alliance shall not form an alliance with Lockley, and shall not sign any agreement against Crotone. (This is a strong request from Lycias. Maliji is difficult. In fact, Daves told him in private: "There is currently no plan to form an alliance with Lockley to avoid angering Crotone and leading to a miscarriage of negotiations." Mariji used this as a bargaining chip to force Lycias to make concessions in other areas.)
Fifth, starting from the date of signing the agreement, Crotone and the Tua alliance will maintain peace for three years, and renew the agreement when it expires.
…………………
The Crotone envoys returned to their home country with a preliminary agreement. After confirmation by the council, they entered the city of Turiyi again.
The careful Lucias noticed that there were no traces of smoke and fire on the walls of Turíy. The collapsed areas were also filled with newly laid stone bricks and covered with mortar. It looks like brand new from a distance. He was shocked by the Turyi people’s high labor efficiency and enthusiasm. In fact, in his heart, he did not want to have any conflicts with the Tua Alliance. year.
Lysias understands: Most of Crotone's generals and council members headed by Miron are not reconciled to this defeat, and they are ready to take revenge in the future! Crotone is famous in Greece for athletics, and the character of the people is also branded with the qualities of an unyielding athlete. This is somewhat similar to the Amendorara in the Tua League who he has been in contact with for more than two days.
Lysias sighed lightly, and led a group of people into Turri’s camp again.
Except for changing the number of years to "two years", there are no major changes to the rest of the armistice agreement. Both sides sacrificed livestock to Apollo, each chanted the name of the gods aloud, issued the sacred oath that "Crotone or the Tua Alliance will never violate the armistice agreement", and finally signed their respective city-states and their own names. (Why offer sacrifices to Apollo? Because Crotone and former Turye both honor Apollo as the city-state patron saint, so that both parties can abide by the agreement.)
The agreement is reached. Lycias is eager to return, and Daves and the others will not stay. Before sending Lycias aboard, Daves said sincerely: "I hope Crotone and Tua will join forces forever. Stop fighting!"
Daves' sharp gaze made Lucias feel that Millon and their tricks had already been seen through by the young consul, and he immediately said, "Apollo is here, this is also my sincere hope!"
Standing at the bow of the ship, looking at the still noisy city of Turiyi, and looking at the merchant ships going to and fro at the mouth of the sea, Lysias left Turiyi with full of worry...
Daves and his party watched the boats in Crotone as they went away from the dock.
Cornerus let out a sigh: "Now we are safe!"
"Yes, it's safe for the time being! I'm afraid Crotone will attack us in two years!" Kunogolata said calmly.
"Yes, otherwise they will not specifically request the shortening of the truce. Therefore, we must make full use of these two years to make the Tua Alliance stronger as soon as possible, so that any forces that covet us dare not come. !" Dafus encouraged everyone.
"That's right!" Everyone was also aroused.
"Your Excellency, look at the compensation money in this armistice agreement--" Mariji immediately wanted to make a request.
Davers interrupted him and said: "All these compensations go to the treasury, and Merses is responsible for safekeeping."
Melsiston's eyebrows were grinning.
"Its use is planned, managed, and disbursed by the Reconstruction Committee. It will also be used for people’s daily expenses, urban reconstruction, and public construction, just like the batch of materials previously recovered. Any department that needs to spend money An application must be submitted to the committee and approved before the grant can be obtained, and the financial officer must be responsible for supervision!"
Daves finished speaking, Merses winked at Mariji, and was so angry that Mariji turned around, not wanting to see him.
"In addition, on the first day of each month, Merses, you must report on the state treasury's receipts and expenditures in detail at the Senate meeting. If there is an error, you will be fully responsible!" Dave Strictly said
"Yes." Melses replied feebly.
"Alexis, you go and tell the prisoners the contents of the agreement. The Crotones will not let these prisoners mine, so we will let them build roads. Build a road connecting Heraclea and Amendor. The avenues of Lara, Turriy and Castellon, let Heraclyde’s son, that..."
"Little Heraclyde."
"Yes, it is him. Let him be the commander of the entire road project, and according to the previous drawings, bring a group of craftsmen to be responsible for supervision and management."
"Okay, Lord Archon." Production Supervisor Alexis responded.
"Building roads to connect Heraclea, Amendorara, and Turrii, I can understand. Why do you want to connect Castellon? Since two years later, Crotone may launch an offensive. It's impossible for Stro to stop it. Wouldn't it be more convenient for the enemy to advance if the road is built?" Ansitanos asked suspiciously, and the other Tury veterans showed concern.
Daves explained earnestly: "By building the road to Castellon, our personnel exchanges and trade flow with Castellon will be more frequent, the contact will be closer, and Castellon will be even better. It will be inseparable from us. And with the road, our army and baggage can reach Castellon faster. Castellon is now our alliance, we have the responsibility to maintain its safety, and in the future, Castellon Long will be our front line to defend against the enemy in the south. Of course, building a road will make it easier for the enemy to attack us, so we will try our best to keep the enemy out of our territory so that they cannot use our road."
Ansitanos and Kunogolata are thoughtful, some others are greatly inspired, some are dubious...
………………………
After a busy day, he returned to his tent late at night, and Daves found that there was a person waiting for him in the tent.
"Andrea, why are you here? Did something happen to Christia?!" Daves asked hurriedly.
Andrea bowed respectfully: "Honorable Archon, Madam, because she saw you busy rebuilding the city of Turiyi during this time, she didn't want to disturb your work, but I think this should be told. You."
"What's the matter?!" Davers asked eagerly.
"A few days ago, Madam always vomited and couldn't eat anything. I doubted whether it was pregnant or not. The result was checked by Master Helps, and that was the case." Andrea just finished speaking, Daves With a surprised look, he asked: "Kristia is really pregnant?!"
It’s true, my lord. "
"That's great! Great!..." Daves was so excited that he hugged Andrea and turned around for several times, ignoring the shyness of Andrea's face.
He shouted out loudly: "Martius! Martius!"
"My lord, what's the matter?" Martius walked in.
"Go and lead the horse, I want to go back to Amendorara!" Daves said eagerly.
"My lord, it's too late now, it will be unsafe on the road, so let's go back tomorrow." Martius persuaded.
"I can't wait! Kristonia is pregnant! I'm going to be a father 1 I want to go back to see her immediately! Immediately!!" Daves said firmly and excitedly.
"My lord, congratulations! This is a gift from Hera! In this case, let's **** you back." Martius said happily.
"Good!"
A group of people rushed out of the camp on horseback, and the sound of rushing horses awakened many people in the camp: "Whoever is still riding horses in the camp so late is against the regulations!"
"I heard that the consul's wife is pregnant, and he is rushing home!"
"Really?! That's really a happy event!!"
In the middle of the night, cheers came from the originally quiet camp.
……………………
Daves hurried home and went upstairs, and saw a small head sticking out of the door and looking out warily.
"Cynthia!" He hugged his little daughter and kissed heavily: "It's so late, why don't you go to bed and spank!"
"I was woken up by you." Cynthia wiped the drool from her face with her little hand, and complained with her mouth pouting.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I apologize to you." Daves touched her head with a grin, and said, "Where is my brother?"
"Sleep inside."
"Where's mom?"
Cynthia hesitated, and pointed to the master bedroom.
Davers put her down and patted her **** lightly: "Go to bed." As he said, he strode towards the master bedroom.
Christoya was reading the account book under the oil lamp, heard footsteps, turned her head to look, and was surprised: "Why are you back?"
"If I don't come back, you will keep hiding it from me, right?!" Daves pretended to be angry, and sat next to Christoya, holding her with one arm, and plumping her with the other. Tapped twice on his hip: "How dare you not tell me that we have a baby? You said you should be punished!"
"You all know it." Kristonia put her arms around Davers's neck along the way: "Andria told you?"
"Fortunately, she told me in time!" Daves pointed to the thick ledger on the table, and blamed: "You don't care about your body and our children! From now on, these things will be handed over to Andre. Ya and the others will do it, and you will take care of your body at home and let our children grow up healthily here!"
