"Hehe, that's because he hasn't played enough!" Davers said, "Do you want to play?" ”

"Of course I want to!! ......" the youth of Lucania rushed to answer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's good! I'm going to be a quarterback, and who of you would like to team up with me to challenge the winner of their game? Davers exclaimed.

"I do!" Xsima hurriedly shouted.

Uraza also stepped forward...... Soon a team of fifty-five men was formed, and all but Davers and Martius, the captain of the guard, were Greeks, and the rest were all young men of the Lucarian tribe. Davers led them towards the arena with great excitement, and more Lucanians followed, and the escort team did not stop them because of Davers's instructions before, so they could only protect the fifty-five people in the middle.

Sesta hurriedly grabbed Cappus, hoping that he would command the soldiers of the First Brigade to maintain order in the arena.

The families of the Fourth Brigade were arranged to enter the city, and the Turii veterans walked slowly to the arena.

"Wesba, you really became the Senate of the Theoria Alliance, as your son said?!" Hmon looked at Vespa among the elders with envy, he was dressed in the same clothes as the other patriarchs, and he had the momentum of a big man in his gestures.

This envious gaze greatly satisfied Wesbar's vanity, and it was not only Hermon who behaved like this, but many former acquaintances also looked at him differently than before, it was a mixture of surprise, fear, and respect, which made Wesbah feel very homesick, and this pleasure drowned out the guilt of taking refuge in his "enemy".

"Of course it's true!" Vespa replied affirmatively, following the example of other senators, and shook the sleeves of Bolton's robe, revealing the purple sleeves that symbolized the senators of the Senate: "Didn't the Archon just say, 'The alliance is both Greek and Lucarian', so it is normal for Lucanians to enter the Senate of the alliance and become senators!" ”

"Lord Davers is really friendly to us Lucanians, and to be recognized by those young people so quickly shows that he is genuinely unbiased against Lucanians! But—" Hermon pointed covertly at the Turii elders in front of him, and whispered, "Their attitude looks worse. ”

"There's no way around it! They are either Turi'i or Amendolara, and they have all suffered from our Lucanians, and it is impossible for them to change their attitude in a short time. Master Davers once said, 'It will take time to change them.'" Fortunately, the alliance is mainly in charge of the archons! Veesbah also whispered frankly.

"What do you do as a senator?" Hermon asked curiously.

"Make proposals, pass bills, discuss the major events that have happened in the Alliance, and assist the Archons in coming up with solutions......" Vespa said with a little smugness: "Sometimes I have to be in charge of some specific affairs, for example, I am now in charge of the affairs of the citizens of Lucania and the Lucanian region, as long as there are problems related to Lucania, the Senate will first ask for my opinion, and I can also put forward my own suggestions and plans for the interests of the Lucanians, just like ...... Well...... Well...... Just as a 5 percent tax on Lucanian citizens in Niutum was my suggestion, and 10 percent of the land leased by Greek prospective citizens in the Union was supposed to ......" was apparently a boast of Wesbah, who had not yet entered the Senate when the proposal was passed.

"Oh! You've done a great thing for us! ......" Hemon looked at him admiringly, which made Vespa even more complacent, but fortunately he had not forgotten his main task in Niutum: "It's just that the Lucanians are the only two people in the Senate, me and Bagule, Bagul may always be in Niutum in the future, my strength alone is too thin, I can't argue with so many Greek senators, and I can't fight for more benefits for the citizens of Lucania!" Alas......"

"That'...... Other Lucarians can also be ...... Become a senator?! This will also help you and get more benefits for us Lucanians! Hmon asked eagerly.

Veesba laughed in his heart: What other Lucanians, isn't it yourself! What to pretend, it's not like I don't know what kind of person you Hemon is!

He cleared his throat and said, "Of course, as long as he can make a big contribution to the Alliance, such as getting more Lucarian tribes to join the Alliance, getting the support of more Lucanians, and being able to complete some difficult tasks in the Lucania region...... Wait, let the Senate feel that he can play a greater role in the affairs of Lucania, then it will be an easy thing to become a senator of the Senate......"

Hemon listened attentively, his eyes glinting with a burning light......

……………………

In the evening, Davers and the senators listened to Cesta's briefing at the Administrator's residence.

"To this day, there are two thousand five hundred and three prospective citizens registered in Niutum, of whom two thousand two hundred and one are Lucalian and three hundred and two Greeks. During these days, there were six hundred and twenty-seven mixed marriages between Greeks and Lucanians. We have distributed seven hundred and eighty-five cattle and five thousand four hundred sheep, and there are two hundred and three cattle and two thousand sheep left to be distributed to the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade. When Asistes said this, Bagul immediately thanked him.

"Now the small tribes, captives, and slaves of Niutum have all become reserve citizens of the Alliance, if the Fourth Brigade settles here, then there are a total of three thousand four hundred and fifty-five citizens in Niutum including Reserve Citizens......" As soon as Yasistes finished speaking, Davers said directly: "I can tell you clearly that the Fourth Brigade will settle in Niutum and become the backbone of stability and defense of Niutum!" ”

"This is exactly what the soldiers of the 4th Brigade wanted! As citizens of the Alliance, we will definitely keep Niutum firmly in the Alliance! Bagul solemnly stated.

The patriarchs nodded their heads, satisfied with the answer.

"Lord Sesta, Bagul and Assies, on behalf of the Senate, I would like to express my sincere respect for your outstanding performance for stabilizing the situation in Niutum in such a short period of time and accomplishing so much!" As he spoke, Davers took the lead and applauded with the senators.

The applause was a little agitated for all three: Sesta was thrilled because he had proved to Davers by his performance that he was no worse than the leaders of the expeditions to Persia, and thus attracted the attention of the consul even more; Bagul was thrilled because his performance and that of his Lucanians were recognized by these Greek senators, making it easier to integrate into the alliance; Assies was thrilled because he had proved to Davers that he was capable of serving independently, and perhaps next time Davers would give him a more important task.

"In addition, I heard from Bagul that the leaders of the small tribes of Hemon, Ksima, and Uraza are ready to send people to the mountains to persuade the tribes who fled into the mountains to come down the mountain to join the alliance, and in the past two days, there have been Raos who have come to Niutum to ask to join the alliance." Arcises added.

"Our cattle and sheep have been divided, what should we do?" Scombras asked busily.

"These tribes all have livestock, we just need to allocate them land, and the land is enough for us." Bagul replied.

"Even if the 'fertile land between the mountains' has been divided in the future, it can still be divided into Turiyi. Now that the land in Turiyi has been leased to prospective citizens, there is still a lot of land left vacant to the west (mainly on the high ground west of the Koseni and Delos rivers), which was already intended to be leased to freedmen who were registered as probationary citizens. Davers reminded everyone.

Some of the patriarchs nodded, while others hesitated.

"As for the affairs of the Laos, we have to put it on hold for a while, and when Avinokis comes, we will discuss it later." Davers hesitated.

"Will Avinokis come?" Masisacus asked uncertainly.

"He must come!" Protsylaus exclaimed: "The alliance helped him capture Laos, and he has not yet expressed his gratitude to us. Now that we have reached Niutum, and he is not coming, can we as the leaders of the alliance go to Laos! ”

"Maybe he didn't know we were coming." Cesta had a good word for Avinokis.

"Laos has always been in contact with Niutum, and it is impossible for him not to have news of so many of us and such a large formation, and we will know tomorrow whether he will come or not. If not, then we need to reconsider how sincere Laos is to the Alliance! Davos understands that Sesta, as the administrator of Niutum, will need the help of Laos in the future, but Davos, as the consul, needs to think about the whole situation from a higher position.

Davers's words made the senators agree.

"Sesta, Bagul, after you have settled the people of Niutum, you must arrest the military training, and I will let Pherisius send the instructors to come and train. It is necessary to disperse the youth of the tribes, mix them with the Greek citizens as much as possible, and if there are not enough Greeks, they must also mix with other tribes, and the warriors of the tribes must not be reunited! And also...... Rugby matches can be played as many times as possible, and I think the young people of Lucaglia love it! ”

"Yes, sir. Ksima they have told me many times that rugby games are much more fun than bullfighting, and we Lucanians love this intense sport! Bagul chimed in.

"Then let them compete, but it has to be a mix of Greeks and Lucanians, which will also help Lucanians learn to speak Greek. Oh...... Speaking of which, Bagul, you have to think of a way to make the Lucarians of Niutum learn to speak Greek as much as possible! ”

"I'll do my best, sir."
