This is the only veteran who voluntarily forfeited the campaign, and Davers finds this kind of self-knowledge particularly rare.

In the end, Trifias was elected.

Next, Ksima was elected Governor of the Buruti Region, and Latignes was elected Governor of the Lucania Region, and the most important region of the kingdom, the Tourii Region, was the last to be elected (because the original Tourii Region itself had a regional nature, and the towns under its jurisdiction occupied most of the newly divided Tourii Region by Davers, and at the suggestion of several rotating chairmen, Davos finally abolished the original Tourii Region as an administrative unit and was approved by the Senate, In order to avoid the conflict between the governor of the region and the governor of the region in the future), everyone thought that this would be the most fierce election, so many powerful senators specially avoided it and went to compete for other regions, but the first name shouted by the ceremonial officer made the hearts of the remaining senators who were interested in running cold for half a while: "Lord Alexis!" ”

The Minister of War, Alexis, was also in the election, so he was likely to represent the opinion of the entire army faction.

"I elect Lord Shiros." Alexis's words were not strong, but they dealt another blow to those who were still lucky.

is also a mercenary, has also made a lot of military exploits for the royal country, and has also served as the Minister of War, but Shilos is different from Alexis in that he is also very accomplished in civil affairs, as early as before the Western Mediterranean War, he served as the administrator of many towns, and after he stepped down as Minister of War, he once went to the mountains of Samonai to become the administrator of Beneventom, and his political achievements are outstanding, and he is a rare all-round military and political talent. What's more, he was close to King Davers during his expedition to Persia more than 20 years ago, and is now one of Davers's trusted ministers.

Therefore, the result of this final round, which was originally thought to be the most fiercely contested, was completely one-sided, and Shilos received more than 70% of the votes and was successfully elected as the governor of the Turii district.

When all the results were settled, the long meeting was finally coming to an end, but the elders were excited and disappointed...... The list goes on and on, and it seems that there is still no end to it.

Davos kissed his throat and finally spoke: "Congratulations to the elders who have become district administrators, your efforts in the past government affairs have been recognized by most of your colleagues today. However, the promotion of the post will only bring temporary joy, and you will face a greater test, to manage more towns, to govern more people, there are undoubtedly many more difficulties, and even some of the administrative experience gained in the past may no longer be suitable in the new government affairs, which requires you to make more efforts, in the continuous practice, in the continuous solution of difficulties to find a set of effective methods for governing the region, become an experience that future generations can learn from. I also hope that you can govern these areas more prosperously, and live up to the recommendation and trust of other patriarchs!

Other elders who are interested in becoming one of them in the future, I hope that you will continue to work hard to gain more achievements to win the recognition of your colleagues and me, and I believe that you will eventually become the district administrator or the important minister of the kingdom like them, because the kingdom has a vast land and a large population, and it needs more excellent administrative talents to manage this great country that is still expanding, and you are the elite of the kingdom, and you must take on this heavy responsibility! ……”

Davers's words dispelled the frustration in the hearts of many veterans, and also ignited the expectations in the hearts of more veterans, and the meeting came to an end with warm applause.

A few days later, the elected district administrators went to their respective jurisdictions, and as the first regional governors of the Kingdom, the first thing they had to do was to fill out the entire management structure by selecting the officials they deemed suitable in accordance with the framework of the regional administration established by the Kingdom Administration Office.

Half a month after the publication of the new Immigration Act, the recruitment of the Border Guard Corps also began.

Seeing that things were irrevocable, the freedmen in the kingdom began to make choices about their future, and eventually many young freedmen rushed to the Turriyi military camp according to the requirements of the notice, preparing to register and select to become mercenary soldiers of the Kingdom of Dionia.

At the same time, the two newly promoted corps commanders also went to their new stations, and Patroclus went north to Rome to take over the 14th Legion and replace Printorcus (Printors was also highly meritorious in the Western Mediterranean War, and Davers wanted to use him, but considering that he was from the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade and later transferred directly to the General Staff, he lacked further familiarity with the affairs of the Legion and a resume of service in the Legion, in order to avoid being criticized in the future, So after the war, he was specially asked to form a new army in the Latin region. After a few years, his performance was satisfactory, and Davers considered it time to transfer him back to take charge of the General Staff of the War Department). Sextus sailed to southern Iberia to take over the Eighteenth Legion and replace Calcidis.

After the Western Mediterranean War, Calcidis, who was once the first captain of the Eighth Army, was promoted to the rank of commander because of his dedication to Selinus, but he was too junior after all, and in order to avoid gossip from his colleagues, at the suggestion of Davers, he took the initiative to apply to go to southern Iberia to form the Eighteenth Army.

This was indeed the most painful, tiring, and troublesome errand, because at that time the Kingdom of Dioonia could not fully grasp the southern part of Iberia, and most of the territory was still governed by members of the Magonid family, and the people under its jurisdiction were either Phoenician, Carthaginian or indigenous Iberians, and the Dionians immigrated here very few, so Calcides was subject to a lot of constraints after his arrival, but he still overcame many difficulties, and after several years of hard work, built the Iberian military camp and formed the Eighteenth Army, And try to train the citizens there in accordance with the requirements of military law. However, Calcides was apparently unable to do the same as other legions, and the lack of cooperation from many local officials made the Eighteenth Legion less effective at defending against the invasion of the Iberian natives into the territory.

Now that Bagul is the new governor of the region, he will increase the management of the territory, weeding out those who are not qualified, and there will be an additional border army in southern Iberia, and the eighteenth army, which has been in a defensive posture, has finally waited for a good opportunity to fight back. Unfortunately, at this time, Calcides was transferred back to Turiyi, which may become a big regret for him.

Not long afterward, the Ministry of Military Affairs also announced the names of the commanders of the two border legions that the generals had been waiting for for a long time.

One is Stephorus, who was the captain of the group in the Western Mediterranean War, but his exploits were not as dazzling as his friend Patroclus, so he was promoted to corps commander two years late, but because there were no vacant positions, he had been in charge of training officers in the Turiyi military camp, and now he was finally waiting for a real shortage.

Although it may be in the eyes of many Dionian generals that the soldiers of the Frontier Legion are all composed of free people, which seems to be a lower rank than the existing Legions, according to the regulations of the Ministry of War, the rank of its Legion Commander and officers at all levels is the same as that of other Legions, and at this stage they are all regular officers of the Kingdom (squad leaders are not counted as officers).

The names of another corps commander surprised the generals: Hasdruba, who was once the main force of the Dionian army against the Dionian army in the Western Mediterranean War and a key member of the Magonid family.

Why him? …… Many generals were puzzled, and some even quietly approached the Ministry of Military Affairs to inquire.

The public reason is: Hasdruba is a veteran of the kingdom and a high-ranking officer of the kingdom (after the annexation of southern Iberia into the Kingdom of Dionia, the Iberian army under the former command of Marco was ordered to be disbanded, but considering the prestige of Hasdruba among the local people, and in order to make it more convenient to form a new army in Iberia, Davest specially created a senior military position for him - the commander of military training in the southern region of Iberia, in fact, he hoped that he could call on the local people to actively participate in military training, The real concrete affairs were done by a group of subordinate military trainers, but Hasdruba obviously did not take this position seriously, and the double blow of defeat and surrender and the inability to grasp real military power made him decadent for several years, but this military position has not been removed from him). At the same time, he followed Marco in Iberia for 10 years, and had a wealth of combat experience in fighting fierce natives in the mountains, which was exactly what he needed to borrow in the following border defense operations.

The real reason for Davers to appoint him as the commander of the border army is that after the transfer of several important members of the Magonid family, such as Haka and Hasdruba, from southern Iberia, the kingdom will focus on the reorganization of this area that has not yet been fully under its rule, not only in civil affairs but also in military affairs, so let Hasdruba become the commander of the kingdom and let him serve the kingdom willingly. He was able to use his influence to reduce the hostility of the soldiers of the former Iberian army living in that area towards the kingdom and restore hope to them, thus ensuring the stability of the region.

Of course, Hasdruba is indeed a military talent, which is a big reason why Davers is willing to reactivate him. However, Hasdruba is unfamiliar with the military system and tactics of Dionia, and he must be deeply involved in the recruitment and training of the Freedmen in order to become a true Captain of the Kingdom of Dionia. After that night's dinner, in the midst of Davers's open and honest conversation with him, he finally made a serious offer to make an effort in this regard.
