"Milon, the Crimsians are now citizens of the Ionian Union!" Lucias sighed.

Milon's roar stopped abruptly. He gasped, kicked over the wooden chair by the window, and strode out of the room.

…………………

Milon's anger soon reached Antaoris's ears, and he didn't care at all. Previously, when the men they sent to contact Dionya to bring back Davers's request, the generals of Crimesa hesitated to join the Dionian Alliance, and the decisive Antaoris insisted on finally convincing the crowd to agree to Davers's request.

"Eurikpus, you take a hundred citizen soldiers to guard the temple and prevent the soldiers of Crotone from looting our treasury when they retreat!"

"Pleades, you too, take a hundred citizen soldiers to guard the granary!"

"I and the others went to Lycias to see if we could get the next part of the supplies that the Crotone had piled up in the port. Having lived in Crimesa for so long, the people of Crotone always have to pay for some accommodation! Antaoris said fiercely.

"What about the people? Crotone soldiers may also come to their house to cause trouble! Someone asked urgently.

"Didn't Davers already announce the annexation of Crimea to Dionia! Let every family engrave the words 'I am now a citizen of Dionia' on the wooden door, and see which Crotone dares to risk provoking war again to rob the citizens of Dionia! ”

After Antaoris finished speaking, the faces of the people around him were embarrassed and fell silent. Crimea, which had been independent for decades, was to be incorporated into the Dionian Union, and Dionya would govern the city in a direct way, which meant that most of the former members of the Crimesa Council would lose power, and they would not be willing to do so if it were not for the situation. In fact, already a part of the Crimisza responded to the call of Lycias and was willing to retreat with the army to Crotone. It was only the promises made by Davers and the rapid rise of Turiyi and Amendolara after their decline that the majority of the Crimesan, who were citizens of small states and had had enough of the oppression of the big states during this time, did not want to live like this anymore and chose the winner of this war, the Dionian Alliance.

"Everyone, please cheer up and work hard to do these things well!" Seeing this, Antaoris cheered them up: "We are doing this not for others, but for ourselves, as long as we can smoothly hand over a complete and well-supplied Crimesa city to the Dionian Alliance, so that they can fully realize our sincerity and ability, more people may be selected to enter the Diomian Senate and strive for more benefits for Crimesa in the future!" ”

……………………

In the afternoon, the first ships loaded with soldiers from Crotone began to leave the port of Krimissa.

Compared to the somewhat excited soldiers, Millon's expression was gloomy. When the city of Crimesa disappeared from his view, he turned back to Lycias and said, "The covenant you signed was to give the position of the overlord of Great Greece to Dionya with your own hands!" From then on, Crotone will act according to Dionia's eyes! ”

Lycias was silent for a while, and then said, "Then who caused all this?" ”

The corners of Milon's mouth twitched, and his face was bitter.

"You'd better think about how you'll deal with the Council's questioning when you get back." Lycias sighed.

……………………

At the same time that Crotone's army left Crimesa by boat, Davers led his army into the city of Crimesa. Originally, he only wanted to symbolically bring some people in, but he was opposed by his generals, and for the sake of safety, he let him bring half of the army, Antaoris, Eurikpurs, and Preades...... Those who remained in the Crimesa council went outside the city to greet them.

When the Crimezans were attracted by this unheard of music, the Dionian soldiers, dressed in neat uniforms, marched in a long line of four columns with neat steps to the beat of the melody, and marched towards the city of Crimesa without hurry.

At the head of the procession was Martius, the captain of Davers' Bodyguard, who held aloft the flag representing the Supreme Commander of the entire Dionian army, and the statue of Hades, the king of Hades, was shining with gold and dazzling. This was followed by a band composed of trumpeters and drummers of the whole army, followed by a team of thousands of outstanding soldiers drawn from the first, second, and third legions, and the regimental flag, the brigade flag, and the company flag, and every short section of the procession was held high in the air, so that the whole long dragon flag was unfurled and shining, and the soldiers were all smiling and magnificent, giving the Crimeans the feeling that the Ionians were not here to show off their might and declare their sovereignty, but to marry, Otherwise, the music would not be so cheerful, the colors would not be so bright, and even the Crimeans noticed that the Dionian soldiers did not carry shields and spears, which surprised them and at the same time moved a little, because this is the trust of the Dionians in Crimesa!

Davers and the other legion commanders, as well as Avinokis, were not on horseback, and they stood out in the center of the line, surrounded by guards with red cloaks on their shoulders.

The team stopped in front of the Crimesa gates.

Antaoris and they came up to meet them, and Davers and they also walked out of the group, escorted by soldiers.

Antaoris walked straight to Davers, not because he had seen Davers before, but because the news that Davers, the consul of Dionia, was a young man had long spread throughout Great Greece, and it was clear who was the youngest among these high-ranking generals.

"Lord Davers, the former chief general of Crimesa, Anta Oris, and the former members of the Crimesa Council, welcome you!" After speaking, he saluted respectfully, and some of the people behind him followed suit, while others stood silently.

Davers immediately returned the salute seriously and said, "Thank you for your trust and support of the Dionian Alliance!" The facts will prove that you have made the right choice!! ”

"Oh, really?! So what good will it be for us to fully support Crimea to join Dionya ?! Someone chimed in.

"Absolutely!" Davers ignored the strangeness of his tone and said seriously and loudly: "Become a citizen of Dionysia, and you will be respected wherever you go in the city-state of Greater Greece!" Anyone who dares to violate your rights, the Alliance will get justice for you, whether you are a nobleman or a commoner! You are brave and good at fighting, and you can continue to gain land by virtue of your military exploits! You have outstanding ability, you can pass the assessment to serve in public office, and finally become a senator of the Senate by virtue of your merits, and you are highly respected! Even if you are an ordinary citizen, you will enjoy the convenience provided by the Dionian League, the cheap and highly skilled hospitals provide citizens with health protection, the smooth roads and bridges provide citizens with fast travel and business, the agricultural officer provides technical assistance to citizens in farming, the commercial officer can apply for low-interest loans for your business, and we have a battle-tested, highly trained citizen soldier to ensure the safety of your territory...... So, when you get acquainted with Dionian life, and learn about Dionia's institutions and laws, you will know how different it is from other city-states, and you will be proud to be a Dionian citizen! At the moment, Davers was clearly a little boastful and complacent.

Antaolis, Eurikpus and others had their eyes flickering, as if they were moved, while others were thoughtful.

"Oh...... Since Dioonia is so good, do we have a chance to become consuls in the future?! Someone said.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Kapuz, Dracos, Hieronymus, and Avinokis all widened, and they all felt that the speaker had bad intentions, and it was obvious that the target of the criticism was Davers.

Most of the Crimiszas also changed their faces, lest they provoke Davers and be detrimental to the Crimea.

Davers was calm, and this was undoubtedly the one that Ionia was most criticized by the other Greek city-states. He knew very well in his heart that Crimesa was different from Amendora and Turiyi after all, these two cities were saved by Davers when they were about to perish, and the people were grateful to Dade, and at the same time needed strong protection, so he didn't have much opinion on Davers becoming a lifelong consul of the alliance, plus Davers has always been law-abiding, and he consulted with the members of the Senate in everything, and rarely acted arbitrarily, and the only time he was in power was not long ago, he advocated the battle of Crotone, and finally won the victory, so over time, The populace embraced it. Not to mention Niutum, the Lucanians originally believed in power, and there would be no dissent.

Only Crimea, which was once an enemy, was conquered by the power of Dionia, and there will always be people who are unwilling to open their eyes and pick on Dionia, so of course Davers will not be polite: "Dionya can quickly develop into a strong state in Greater Greece in a short period of time, and even defeat Crotone, because we have a different political system from other large Greek city-states, I heard that some Crimeans have left with Andronia, and if there are people who don't like Dionia, they can now leave freely, If you want to become a citizen of Ionia in the future, please adapt to the Ionian system as soon as possible and obey the laws of Ionia! ”

The implicit sharpness of Davers's words made some of the Crimsians who still wanted to raise objections stop talking.

"Look, this is Dionia's—hmm." The man who had just spoken wanted to lash out at Dionya again, but was covered by two guards sent by Anta Onis.

"Lord Davers, it's our fault for keeping the soldiers of Dionya waiting here for a long time, please go into the city together!" Anta Oris said apologetically.

"Good!" Davers smiled meaningfully at him.
