Chapter 39: Clouds and Rain

Agacia breathed a sigh of relief, and he was grateful to Davers for fulfilling his previous promise.

Timason, who listened attentively, said with Cleano still dissatisfied: "Davers, you are a consul for life, and I heard that you are still in control of the Senate, isn't that like that...... The former Athenian ...... Well...... Pisistratus? What bills are needed is not a matter of your words, so why bother with it, just make us citizens! ”

"Criano, you're going too far!" Phellisius couldn't help but shout.

Davers waved his hand, signaling that it was okay, and continued to say patiently: "You mean to say that I am a tyrant, right?" ”

At this time, Criano also realized that his words just now were too aggressive, after all, Davers at this time was no longer the Davers with whom he could discuss matters on an equal footing, so he lowered his head and did not dare to respond.

"I'm not going to say anything else, I'll just tell you a fact. The mercenaries I brought over are only more than 1,000 in the Alliance, and now there are more than 5,000 official soldiers in the Alliance, plus more than 20,000 reserve citizens, most of them are Great Greeks, and our Gentile status still accounts for half of the number of senators in the Senate, will the locals have no opinion? I think there must be, so why hasn't anyone risen up against us? At this point, Davos paused, gave everyone a moment to think, and then said, "For we have tried to be fair and just, and whether it is to the Amendora, the Turiyi, the Lucanians, the Gentiles, and the freemen, it is strictly according to the laws of the Union. If I propose a bill to grant you citizenship today, tomorrow more than 20,000 reserve citizens will come to the council hall to make trouble, and the Senate will initiate an impeachment against me. Can we, the more than a thousand outsiders, plus you, beat these tens of thousands of Union citizens? Even if the battle is won, will this alliance still exist? So as a friend, I can help you as much as I can! But as the ruler of the Alliance, I can't show favoritism, I hope you can understand! ......" Davers's earnest words fell silent in the living room.

At this time, Hieronymus said apologetically: "Lord Davers, I have never considered this aspect of this matter after being in Turii for so long, and I am really sorry that you have been worrying about protecting us!" ”

"I haven't thought about this either, I always feel that I should enjoy this kind of life!" Felicius said with emotion.

"That's how it should be, don't think too much, live naturally, you should farm and farm, you should fight and fight, you have never added any trouble to me, but always supported me and helped me maintain the current situation, I want to toast you!" With that, Davers raised his glass and drank with Phellisius, Agacia, and Hieronymus.

Timasong and Zantiparis looked at each other and nodded, and Timasong said, "Davers, I want to know what arrangements and suggestions you have after our three thousand brothers come?" ”

Davers thought for a moment and said, "I suggest that when they come, they first go to the registry office in Turriy and apply, 'willing to become a citizen of the Union.'" ’…… Then find a place to stay first, you can go to the hotel area of Amendolara, where the rent is cheaper. It can also help citizens rent land, so that even the rent is saved, and they can live directly in other people's homes. Of course, you can also find a companion you knew before and live in their house, Capuz, Antonios...... Most of the soldiers of the first brigade are mercenaries from the expedition to Persia, I think you should all be familiar with them, they will soon return from Niutum, and when the time comes, let Phellisius arrange, won't one or two stay in a family solve the problem of accommodation......

Then I went to find a job, and now that the docks and markets were thriving, there was an urgent need for a large number of laborers, and the road from Turii to Niutum was about to be built, and a lot of labor was needed, so I didn't have to worry about finding a job. When you find a job, you work hard, not only to earn money, but also to show the investigators in charge of the household registry that you are hardworking, not idle, and that you will become a full citizen in the future. In addition, when it comes to training day, Pherisius will arrange for you to participate in military training, and the alliance's combat methods are more complicated, so you need to be familiar with them, so as to avoid accidents due to poor coordination in future battles. It is estimated that by next year, the League may launch a war against the Lucania region, and as long as you perform well in battle, I think it is not a problem at all to shorten the period of becoming a citizen of the Alliance! ……”

Davers had clearly considered it carefully, and his suggestion made sense to Timasong and the others.

At this time, Zantiparis voiced his concerns: "I heard that during the expedition, it was difficult to become a citizen if something illegal happened. Davers, you know, we mercenaries are out fighting, uncontrolled, and free, and we will inevitably break the laws of the Alliance, and when the time comesβ€”"

"I understand!" Davers nodded cautiously and said comfortingly: "As long as it's a first-time offense, it's not a big problem." But I hope you will remind everyone who comes to the Alliance, and keep them under control. Other than that...... Well, I have a suggestion, knowing that each of you comes to Great Greece with armor and shield spears, and I hope that you will give the shield spears and sabers to Phellisius for the time being, and let him put them in the armory for safekeeping, and after a while, when you are used to life here, let Phellisius return the weapons to you. ”

As soon as Davers's words fell, Timasong was about to speak, and Davers immediately said, "Don't worry, the alliance will not embezzle your weapons!" The armory alone has captured countless weapons and equipment of the Crotone soldiers and the Neutum soldiers, mainly because they are worried that after your people come here, it is inevitable that they will clash with other people, but if you use your weapons, hurt people, or even kill people, then everything will not be easy! Of course, this is just one of my suggestions, you can go back and think about it......"

…………………

Seeing off the guests, Davers went up to the second floor.

Christoya was standing at the window staring, and when she heard footsteps, she asked softly, "How was the banquet going tonight?" ”

Davers sat on the bed with his ass and let out a long sigh: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, they are still them, we are no longer what we were at the beginning, what do you think will happen?" ”

Christoya frowned slightly, and slowly walked over to Davers and sat down: "They made some excessive demands?!" ”

Davers nodded: "Ask to become a citizen of the Alliance immediately, and even want to become a senator!" ”

"Who brought it up?" Christoya pressed Davers's mouth with her slender fingers and said mischievously, "Let's not talk about it, let me guess...... Well, it's Criano, right? ”

Davers smiled: "Among these people, Zantiparis has a modest personality, Tormid is sleek, Timasong has self-esteem, and Criano is mean, and he used to hate me and Xenophon, not who else can he have!" But I think every single one of them means that. ”

"Who told you to be so good, only half a year to become what you are now......" Christoya's white hands rubbed Davers's face, stared at him lovingly, and murmured, "Anyone who sees you will be crazy with jealousy......"

"Are you among the crazy people?" Davers squeezed her hand and said with a smile.

"I love you, I love you like crazy!" Christoya said affectionately, turned her head over, and gave her husband a fragrant kiss.

A kiss ignited Davos's pent-up desire because of his wife's pregnancy during this time, and he decided to put this annoying thing behind him for the time being, carefully stairing Christoya's waist with one hand, caressing the somewhat round abdomen with the other, and said gently: "Let me come and see my son, are you happy today?" ”

"Who said it was a son, I haven't gone to the Temple of Hera to make amends!" Christoya gave him a sneer.

"It's a daughter, it's nice to be as beautiful as you." Davers said as the hand began to move slowly down, the burning palm entering Christoya's sensitive area, causing her entire body to tremble slightly.

"I ...... I'm pregnant with a baby...... No...... No...... Or ...... Go find Assuna......" Christoya gasped.

"Who said you can't do it when you're pregnant with a baby, as long as the fetus is stable. I'm Phelps' teacher, I'll take the lead......" Davers said softly behind her, the hot breath in his mouth sprayed on Christoya's slender white neck, the strong breath permeated Christoya's nose, and listened to his flirtatious words in her ears, Christoya felt hot all over, her eyes were like silk, her eyes swept away, and finally she couldn't help it, and gently propped her arms on the table bed......

Davers immediately took off his shirt for her, perhaps because of the pregnancy, Christoya's body was noticeably plumper than before......

Davers's breathing became rapid, but he licked Christoya's smooth skin with extreme tenderness......

……………………

"Did you all hear that?! Davers let's go farming! Go build roads! I haven't done anything other than killing people in the past ten years! Build roads and fix a fart! He wants us to hand over our weapons, and we don't let them bully! ......" On the way back to the hotel, Criano vented his frustration loudly.

"What Davers said also makes sense, it is not easy to govern such a large alliance, not to mention that they are also outsiders, of course they must be cautious in doing things, and it is impossible to exercise ......privileges specifically for us," Zantiparis comforted.

"Aren't they just the right thing for us to come and help them?!" Cleano retorted, and after a few steps, he probably felt a little strong himself, and sighed, "I just ...... I just can't figure out why they can have all this, and we still have nothing?! ”8)
