Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Can aliens become citizens of your alliance?! Zantiparis exclaimed.

Agarcia didn't understand the specific situation, and answered vaguely: ...of course there are some special reasons, but our alliance is indeed more open and tolerant than other Greek city-states. It is also more common for foreigners to become citizens of the alliance, such as you Everyone knows that the Persian merchant who used to follow Davos and his camp is now not only a citizen of the Alliance, but also an elder of the Senate, serving as a senior public business officer.

Wow!... While everyone was amazed, some people said half-jokingly and half-seriously: Since Persians can become the elders of the Senate, wouldn't it be better for us comrades-in-arms who shared life and death with you very early on? Should be the elder of the Senate?!

Yes! Yes!... Some people echoed.

In order to attract Timasson and the others to come to Great Greece, Agarcia said some unrealistic things, but now he can’t say anything else, but the driver Soricos can’t listen anymore, and interjected: “You foreigners Don't talk nonsense. It's not so easy to become a senator of our alliance! According to the Dionysian Union Public Office Law, a citizen must first hold a low-level public office for at least six years, and perform well before being promoted to a middle-level public office, and then four more In five years, it is possible to enter the Senate with outstanding performance, but the first is to pay taxes on time every year, actively participate in the army and fight, and have no record of breaking the law... Tell me, is it easy to become a senior of the Senate! As for The present elders of the senate have all contributed to the establishment of the alliance. Like the Persian Marigi you mentioned, the port and market of Turii can be prosperous as they are today, and it is entirely his credit! The Lucanians Vespa and Bagul who joined the Senate, I heard that it was because of them that Niutum was settled so quickly! Gentiles, if you keep your mouth shut, you will become the elders of the Senate. Excuse me What have you done for the league!

The mercenaries were at a loss for words.

So, if you want to stay in the alliance and develop, it's better to be practical and become a citizen of the alliance first. Thorikos is both content and serious.

Stinky old man, are you bothering to talk so much nonsense! The mercenary Thorax and some young team officers yelled in anger. They were quickly persuaded to stop by Tima Song, but they had already angered the coachmen. They immediately shouted to let the mercenaries After getting out of the car, some mercenaries couldn't hold on, and the two sides began to argue. Agarcia persuaded him in the middle, while Soricos also persuaded his companions, and Timasson, Zantiparis and their help, and the two sides reached a reconciliation. Almost attracted the intervention of the patrols who maintained order outside the city.

Solikos and the coachmen took the fare and drove the carriage away from the mercenaries.

Solikos looked at the strong backs of these mercenaries and said worriedly to the others: If these people stay in Turui for a long time, I am afraid it will be enough for the patrol team to have a headache.

And at this moment,

Timasson asked Agarcia in a low voice, Is it so difficult to become the senator of the Dionysian Alliance?

Agarcia nodded silently.

If I had known that you would have the status you have today, we should have followed in Byzantium! Zantiparis sighed regretfully, and added: This is all arranged by the goddess of fate, there is no way, let's see Open some! You don't have to be a senator, you don't have to be a citizen, and it's good to have a land!

Then we might as well be free in Asia Minor. There is no need to go to this remote place, and we have to be bound by this and that. You are right, Agarcia! Crianno said angrily.

Agarcia was embarrassed and didn't know how to respond, and the group watched the parade with their own thoughts.

The formation and march of the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion were not too neat, but they were tall, strong and attractive. For the first time, these Lukarians from the mountains received cheers and praises under the attention of the public, and they forgot their usual inferiority and prudence as aliens. They were all excited, and some even waved to the onlookers.

After the fourth battalion of a thousand men passed by, there were a dozen pack wagons, full of gold and silver utensils, gold and silver statues, which the troops had seized from Niutum, as well as from Laos. Jewelry, gold and silver coins...etc. There are more than a dozen cars full of them, shining brightly and dazzling people's eyes.

The people were even more amazed. If it weren't for the mighty soldiers guarding the trailer, I'm afraid some people could not help but go up and grab it.

War not only brings death, but also wealth! Davos used this most direct way to show the senate and the people of the alliance.

Are all your spoils to be handed over to the Alliance? Timasong asked curiously.

Agarcia replied: A small part should be allocated to the soldiers participating in the war, and most of them should be handed over to the national treasury, and no private storage is allowed.

If there is no loot to be obtained, then there will be no passion in the battle. Who is willing to fight to the death! Crianno said dissatisfiedly.

Agarcia thought about it for a while, and said sternly: They are citizens of the Alliance, and it is their responsibility to join the army to fight and defend the territory, not to mention that after these spoils are turned in, they will eventually be used on them, the pensions of dead soldiers and the care of disabled soldiers. , maintenance and replacement of weapons and equipment, etc., did we also have these benefits when we were mercenaries?! Think of those brothers who died on the battlefield and couldn’t even return home with their bones!!” Agarcia’s words There was some anger in it, and it was obvious that he was a little dissatisfied with the frequent finding faults of these people who were once comrades in arms.

Crianlo snorted and stopped talking.

Timasson and Zantiparis were greatly touched.

At this moment, Thormid exclaimed again: Look, who is that?!

After the carts passed, five carriages appeared, the first one was a carriage pulled by two pure white horses (the original plan was a four-horse carriage, but it was changed because Turiyi was in a state of waste and there were not so many horses. Two horses), standing tall on the beautifully carved carriage, he was dressed in bright armor, except that he did not wear a helmet, this was to allow the public to see his face clearly, but his expression was a little serious, obviously a little strange. Too suitable for such a lively occasion.

Felixius! That's Felixius! the mercenaries exclaimed.

The people were also chanting his name, setting off a wave of cheers: Felixius! Hero of the Alliance! You defeated the Lucanians!  …

Surrounded by the people on the third and third floors, Felixius, of course, could not see the former comrades who were isolated outside. Facing the sincere thanks of the people, he finally squeezed out a smile and waved his arms around.

The mercenaries didn’t know the person on the second carriage pulled by a variegated horse. After listening to Agarcia’s introduction, they realized that it was Drax, the captain of the second brigade of the Alliance’s First Army Corps, who was originally a mercenary. The army, who participated in all the battles after Davos arrived in Greater Greece, got his current status.

The people in the third carriage made the mercenaries exclaim again: Heronimus!!

The Hieronymus, who was once squeezed out of the leadership position by Xenophon, was secretly ridiculed by many people, and some people despised him for following Davos in Byzantium, believing that he gave up on himself and gave up Dignity, to follow a young man whose experience and qualifications are inferior to him. Today, the man they looked down on stood tall on the carriage. Although his expression was as serious as a wooden sculpture, the cheers of the people did not diminish at all, showing that he was already a pivotal figure in the alliance. The hearts of the mercenaries are mixed...

They didn't know the person on the carriage that followed, but they should be a Lucanian based on their appearance. He is the captain of the fourth brigade, Bagul. As the only Lucarian who rode a carriage, he participated in the triumphal ceremony. He was both proud and afraid. He was afraid that the people of the alliance would be left out because he was an alien. The jubilant scene at the scene reassured him: it was the same outside the city, and there was nothing to worry about in the city, where there were his father Vespa, as well as a large number of Niutum people such as Hermon, Kesima, Uraza, etc. Lucaria pre-citizens came to Turii to watch the ceremony. He was thinking: At this moment, his image on the carriage will definitely inspire the Lucanians of the league to play more actively for this league!

The person in the last carriage once again made the mercenaries exclaim: That's Epithenes!!

Because Epithenes was well-connected, he got along well with the leaders of other camps during the expedition to Persia, and everyone knew him very well. At this moment, he was full of smiles, waved his hands around him, and moved freely. He even made some free people's women shout his name in an attempt to attract his attention, but what they didn't know was that this seventh brigade captain had a crush on men. more interested than women.

Looking at the high-spirited appearance of these former comrades-in-arms, the loss in Tima Song's hearts can be imagined. You must know that in Persia, Felixius was only an adjutant, Epithenes was only a team officer, and Hilorimus was a frustrated general, which is like Timasson, Zentiparis, Krian They commanded thousands of soldiers and jointly decided to decide the life and death of the entire mercenary army... But now, the former soldiers are prominent in the huge alliance, and the former rulers fought in Asia Minor for a year, and in the end they are still a city-state that is ruled by any city-state. Disgusting mercenaries, the strong gap after this comparison made Timasson, Krianno and the others feel very uncomfortable.

When the legion flag entered the north gate, colorful petals were scattered from the sky, and the petals were scattered on the soldiers, adding a bit of romance to the heroic soldiers...

The city was even more enthusiastic cheers. Enter the city of Turii from the north gate, go forward two blocks, then turn west, and you can go directly to the square.
