Hearing these words, the new citizens no longer complained, their eyes were blazing, and they said one after another: they will definitely take the lead in abiding by the new military law!

Seta and Adrianx had heard of the Davers mercenaries before that there was a military law with many items, and the reason why the soldiers were so strong in execution was closely related to the strict requirements of this military law. At that time, they were still curious: a small mercenary actually formulated a unique military law for himself, and now they finally have the opportunity to experience it for themselves!www.biquge.info

For old citizens like Cornerus, the ferocity of the mercenaries had only been seen once in front of the temple, and the annihilation of the Lucanian tribal alliance and the storming of the city of Amendolara had only been heard. Amendolara had fought with Turii many times before, and of course there were some conventional military rules in the city-state to ensure the smooth conduct of military operations, but this was the first time I had heard of a complete military law.

Cornerus reminded: "I hope that military training will not interfere with the daily work of the citizens." ”

"I'm sure Phellisius will reconcile the two." Davers had a lot of trust in Phelicios. Then, with a smile, he said to the detachment commanders, "Military Officer Philicus definitely needs some subordinates such as training instructors, you can discuss with him." ”

As soon as the words fell, dozens of people rushed over, vying to recommend themselves, leaving Felicius exhausted.

Although these officers were not good at literacy and arithmetic, it was their profession to march and fight, and as the new citizens of Amendolara, they also had a strong desire to show their abilities to the people.

"It seems that they are also eager to contribute to the city-state!" Davers said with emotion.

Cornerus nodded on the surface, but inwardly thought: these new citizens who are accustomed to fighting on the battlefield are really not idle, I hope they can obey the laws of the city-state!

"That's all for the city-state's main public office for the time being." Davos's words relieved Cornerus, and every new position proposed by the new consul was an assault on the tradition of Amendolara, leaving Cornerus in a tangle in his heart.

"Now there is a very important matter that needs to be solved by all the elders and officers of our Senate." Davers's solemn look made Cornerus nervous again.

"That's the resettlement and land distribution for us new citizens." As soon as these words came out, the team officers immediately stopped pestering Phellisius, and everyone stared at Davers in front of them with wide eyes.

"In order to maintain the harmony and stability of the city-state, and not to disturb the people who have just been liberated from the captivity of the Lucanians, tonight and even tomorrow night we, the venerable new citizens, still voluntarily set up their tents and live in the square (in fact, Davers's strict request), but this is not a long-term solution, nor is it reasonable! After all, the new citizens fought hard to protect this land, and many of their comrades-in-arms died on the battlefield, in exchange for the peace of Amendolara today! Speaking of this, Davers was a little emotional: "We must settle them down as soon as possible and allocate them the land they deserve, in order to repay them for their efforts and the rights they deserve as citizens!" Otherwise, if you delay, it will be difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems! ”

Davers's words made the new citizens present look excited, while the old citizens looked solemn.

"Now, how many widows have lost their husbands among the people of Amendolara?" Davers asked Cornerus.

"I'm afraid it's more than a thousand, and the specific number will be known after statistics." Cornerus said, looking at Rafias.

The new Registrar Rafias immediately said: "When the meeting is over, I will immediately go and count them." ”

"Then tomorrow morning, please gather them all to the square. Officers, you will also gather the unmarried soldiers in the square, and the two sides will meet each other, without the arrangement of the elders, and will not allow the coercion of force, and by their own ability and charm, the men and women will be united voluntarily. In addition, the unmarried girls in the city of Amendora, I suggest that they also come to the square to participate in this meeting. After Davers had finished speaking, the old citizens of Cornerus were fine, and on the way there, Davers confided in them the idea, and finally convinced them.

The new citizens exploded. You must know that in addition to a very small number of mercenaries who have ever been married, there are also a small number of people who robbed local women in Persia and forcibly asked each other to be their wives, and the rest of the more than 2,000 people are still single. Under Davers's leadership, not only have these mercenaries become citizens of the city-state, but now they have to solve their single problem, which is a great thing! Because these women with the status of city-states were not freemen, nor were they bought concubines, and by marrying them, they also received the land and wealth left by their former husbands.

"Great! There is hope for my brothers! ”

"Don't be happy, Mattonis, if your subordinates are like you, it will be a little difficult to find a wife! If you want a woman to take a fancy to it, you can't just rely on being strong! ”

"Isn't it good to be strong? At least they can be given more protection, and they can do more farm work, and I think that's what they need most right now! And Oliver, if you dare to go to the square tomorrow, you will not be afraid that the Persian girl will ignore you again. ”

"Hieronymus, you wood, you need to talk to women more this time. Not only is it about your happiness, but it's also about giving your subordinates a good start! ”

"Geoglis, why don't you speak. You don't have to be nervous, tomorrow when you get to the square, you can do whatever you want. Aphrodite will always arrange a woman for you to belong to! ”

"Captain Shiros, don't just care about me, you can settle your marriage first!"

……

Davers grinned as he watched his subordinates talk to each other excitedly.

The old citizens of Cornerus were a little helpless: the women who were originally citizens of the Greek city-states were very traditional, they rarely showed their heads, they could not meet strange men alone, and their marriages were appointed by their parents. The husband is either a citizen of his own city-state or a citizen of a neighboring city-state, and after marriage, he is under the control of his husband, and her responsibility is to bear children and take care of the house. If the husband dies early, it is okay to have children, and the property belongs to the child's name, she can manage it on her behalf, raise the child to grow up, and then be under the control of the child in the future. If there are no children, then the husband's family has a reason to sweep her out of the house and let her remarry......

Amendolara originally had about 4,000 citizens in the city-state, but now it has less than 500 people, and it lacks enough strength to defend the city-state and not enough labor to support so many women, children, and the elderly. The reason why Cornerus and the others voluntarily agreed to accept mercenaries as citizens of the city-state was mainly for this reason, and of course there was also an element of reciprocation. In the same way, it is also out of desperation to let women break the tradition of the Greek city-states and openly show their heads to hold such a large-scale meeting between men and women. After all, it is the best way to let this group of soldiers who are full of evil spirits quickly settle down, quickly integrate into Amendora, and become real citizens of Amendora.

"At the same time, I would like to remind you. When you marry the woman you have chosen, you are to raise her former children as if they were your own. The elderly in her family, you should also treat them as your own old people and take care of them seriously; And also...... Well...... I hope you don't blame her for the humiliation they have received from the Lucanians, because it is not their fault! It's the men of Amendolara who have failed in their duty to protect them! We are true Greek warriors, and what we need to do is to take good care of them and never let them suffer such humiliation again! Then it was carefully prepared until one day it was entered into Lucaria so that the natives could also taste the power of the men of Amendolara! Davers said solemnly.

"That's right, Chief!"

"Kill the Lucalians!"

"Don't worry, we will take care of women, the elderly and children!"

……

The new citizens clamored and made promises.

The old citizens, however, felt that every word Davers said was like a whip, and their faces ached.

"When tomorrow's meeting is over, and each couple is decided, I suggest that a good day be picked and a grand group wedding will be held, and all the men and women who have confirmed their relationship will be held together, including the previous robbery in Persia, and of course, my wedding!"

The venue immediately became lively again.

"Chief Davers, you've finally decided to marry Christoya!"

"What an enviable woman, what a woman Christoya is!"

……

Ignoring the coaxing of these people, Davers asked Cornerus, "Do we have a priest of Hera?" ”

"No, Amendolara is dedicated to Zeus. The closest to us, the famous Temple of Hera is in Metapontum. ”

"Send someone to Meta Pontum and invite the priests of Hera to officiate at this grand wedding for us and bless the couple!

Although Hera was the patron saint of marriage, the traditional wedding ceremonies of the Greek city-states did not require the presence of Hera's priests, so Cornerus was puzzled.

Davers looked at him and said, "Because this wedding means the rebirth of Amendolara, I hope that the god Hera will bless these newlyweds who represent the future of Amendolara!" And I remember that the consuls had the right to oversee the rituals and make festivals. ”

Cornerus was tempted to say that it was the power of the consuls at the end of the royal era. In the present democratic era, the right to oversee rituals and establish festivals has long since vested in the Senate.

But before Davers had obtained a lot of rights that exceeded those stipulated by the original Archon Amendora, he was numb, and under Davers's sharp gaze, he nodded helplessly and said, "Yes." This meant that Davers, the consul for life, had taken the most sacred religious overseer of Amendora from the Senate.
