At Castelón, after the army had stayed for the night, Davers rushed over to join the soldiers.

In the early morning of the second day, the whole army was dressed in a new uniform, and the soldiers marched in line according to the pre-determined order of triumphal entry into the city.

After crossing the bridge, the thousands of freedmen who had participated in the battle and the Greek mercenaries led by Zantiparis joined the procession. Davos also changed to a four-horse chariot, and Kaps, Drax, Hieronymus, and the consul of Laos, Avinogis, also rode in a two-horse chariot, and the army marched mightily towards the city of Turiyi, which was not far away.

The families of the freedmen and some of the pre-citizens, who had been waiting outside the city for a long time, saw the soldiers from afar, and immediately burst into a tsunami-like cheer.

Arcinis never dreamed that he would be a triumphant flag bearer. At that time, all the legions submitted candidates, and it was Davers who personally named Arcinis, who believed that in the battle that decided the victory of the Second Crotone War, Arcinis, as the leader of the legion, led a team of recruits to fight in the front line, and in the face of the enemy's fierce offensive, not only took the lead, but also could command the recruits well and deal with them calmly. And in the case of more than half of the casualties of the squad, he still has the fighting spirit and bravely fights back, as the representative of the whole army in this battle!

When Arcinis heard Davers's praise for him, he was already admiring Davers, and he was even more grateful to the Consul of the Alliance!

At this moment, he held high the banner of the commander representing the whole army, faced the cheers that came to his face, and looked at the thousands of waving arms, he straightened his chest proudly......

In the face of such a spectacular scene, even Tolmid, who had experienced ups and downs and had been in battle for a long time, could not keep calm, and he said excitedly to Zantiparis beside him: "After so many years, I have participated in so many battles, and it is the first time I have experienced the pride of being a warrior, Davers is amazing!" ”

Zantiparis stared intently ahead, and said, "Don't look around, march well, don't disgrace our mercenaries!" ”

Thormide hurriedly raised his chest and raised his head, but he quipped: "You old fellow is more serious than me!" ”

"It is nothing to participate in the triumphal ceremony, in the future we will also sit on the chariot like Hieronymus and receive the cheers of the people!" Zantiparris's old face was also flushed.

"That's right!" Tolmid's pride rose sharply: "I heard Davers say that because of this battle, the period of our Alliance's citizen inspection will be greatly shortened, and if there are a few more such battles, we will soon be able to become official citizens of Dionia!" By then...... Hey! ”

……………………

"Kregenis! Hey, that's Kregenis!! ……”

"Stop shouting! He can't hear it, they're League heroes now! ”

"Heroes?! With his thin body, I could have knocked him down with one hand, and if it weren't for the fact that his bow and arrow were better than mine, I would be the one who was cheered on in the ranks now! ”

"Yes, this guy who is favored by Lady Luck! It seems that we all need to practice archery in addition to our busy schedules. The next time a recruiter comes to recruit again, he must be chosen! ”

"You're right!!"

……

When the freedfolk came into the people's field of vision, they were greeted with even more enthusiasm, after all, among the people who welcomed them outside the city, the freedmen were mostly freed, and seeing their former comrades who had worked together became the heroes of the Dionian League, at the same time, it also aroused their yearning to go into battle and kill the enemy.

There were more than 20,000 soldiers who participated in the triumphal ceremony, and the column formed was six or seven miles long, and the free people at the end had just entered the popular area outside the city, and the military flag at the head of the team had already passed the triumphal arch inside the city.

Sobokos looked up at the relief on the triumphal arch and said to Ryders with emotion: "The last time I watched the triumphal ceremony, I am now a soldier participating in the triumphal ceremony!" ”

Ryders laughed, "How do you feel?" ”

"Excellent! Very good! ”

"Previously our cavalry was too weak to be effective in battle. From now on, we Dionian cavalry must be the heroes of the triumphal ceremony every time! Ryders said ambitiously, his eyes fixed on the other towering banner next to the cavalry flag fluttering high in front of him, although he could not see the contents of the flag from the rear, he knew that it had the words written by Davers, "Win more with less, defeat the cavalry of Crodonne, and decide the victory of the battle", and it was because of this merit that Davers placed their cavalry behind the standard-bearers of the whole army.

Because there were too many soldiers participating in the triumphal ceremony, the victory square could not accommodate it at all, and it was prone to accidents, so this time the triumphal ceremony stipulated: After the marching troops arrived at the square, they were not allowed to stay, go around the field, and then go out of the city from another street around the east gate.

On the west side of the square, on the platform in front of the Senate Hall, the senators saluted the soldiers passing by the square.

Amicles, who was invited to watch the ceremony, saw the majestic and high-spirited army passing by the platform in a neat pace, and could not help but sigh: "I really didn't expect us to defeat the domineering and arrogant Crotone, this is really a great victory!" He was glad that he had made the right choice before the war began, and that Casteron was firmly on Dioria's side.

His words were echoed by most of the senators, but Scombras disagreed: "Davers is a guarantee of victory!" With him as commander-in-chief, I never doubted that the war would belong to our alliance, but I think we should have taken advantage of Crotone's weakness to defeat him once and for all! ”

His words were echoed by a handful of Turian senators, and even Polyxis said: "On this matter, Davers did not take into account the feelings of the Turriyi, and spared the Crotonens, which is really not right!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Scombras glared at him fiercely.

"Davers-sama did the right thing!" Kunograta said solemnly: "He is a great general who can lead the citizen soldiers to victory!" A true leader is one who can take advantage of the victory and win enough benefits for the alliance! If the war continues, Dionya will probably suffer great losses! I'm glad that Dionia has such a great archon as Davers! ”

"Master Kunograta is right!" Cornerus responded: "In this war, Lord Davers not only won a lot of fertile land for Dionia, but also allowed Dionia's influence to reach the southern tip of Great Greece!" ”

"Next, how to manage and distribute these new lands will be something we need to devote a lot of time to discuss and solve...... Trito Demose laughs: "It's a sweet but annoying thing!" ”

Everyone smiled knowingly. The senators of the Senate were noble and had a lot of affairs, but they were not paid. In order to increase their enthusiasm, and at the same time gain their favor, and stimulate their interest in expansion, the "War Act" proposed and passed by Davers stipulated that the land acquired for each victory in the war, in addition to the "allotment" allocated to the new citizens, and the land awarded to the meritorious citizen soldiers, each of the hard-working senators of the Senate would also receive a land reward, and the area of land obtained should not exceed the average land area received by the soldiers participating in the war. It may seem that the land given is not much, but at the current rate of expansion of Dionia, it will add up to a large amount.

As the senators happily talked about the Alliance's newly acquired territory, Polyxis's eyes flashed as he pondered something, while Amycles looked envious.

"Look, our big hero is here!" A shout from Plesinas drew everyone's eyes back to the square.

Davers, dressed in military uniform, appeared on the horse-riding chariot and appeared in Victory Square, smiling and waving to the crowd around him, bringing the triumphal celebrations to a climax.

The crowd shouted and jumped in excitement, frantically waving their arms and shouting Davers' name. They even defied the roadside guards and poured into the procession in violation of the rules, surrounded Davers in the center, and stretched out their arms to touch the guardian who had saved Turiy, twice defeated the powerful enemy Crotone, and brought glory to the people of Dionia, Davers the Divine Favor of Hades.

The guards were highly nervous and afraid of accidents.

Davers was so calm that he even stepped out of the carriage and greeted the people with a gentle greeting, asking if they had suffered losses in the war and if they needed help from the Alliance...... Wait a minute.

The populace loved their Archon even more, and they collectively surrounded Davers and escorted him to the platform before reluctantly leaving.

The patriarchs stepped forward.

Kunograta was the first to criticize: "Lord Davers, the situation just now is too dangerous! You should stay in the chariot and wait for the guards to escort you over! ”

"What's at stake!" Davos said with a smile: "The patriarch and the people are like fathers and children, as fathers, they will naturally love their children, and children will naturally respect their fathers, how can they hurt their relatives, are you right?" ”

Father and child?! The elders present tasted this sentence repeatedly, and were somewhat shocked. Later, these words spread out, so that the people were also greatly moved, so the senators of the Senate also had another title - father.

The fears of Kunogorata were not entirely unfounded, and there was indeed a man among the people who hated the Dionian Senate and the consul Davers, the messenger of Lockry, Metrophines, who did not have a complete cold, but after learning the astonishing news that "the Dionian League had made peace with Crotone and had become an ally", the envoy was furious and angry, and he hated himself for not fighting and falling ill at the critical moment, and at the same time he was angry with the Dionian Senate.
