Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Daphes and Christoya assigned a house, whose original owner belonged to Marcelis, the former consul of Amendolara, and was accompanied by two children of Malcheris: a six-year-old daughter Cynthia, a three-year-old son Adores.

After learning of the news in the afternoon, Christoia immediately asked for some slaves from Mercis and hurried to the house of Marcellis.By the time Daves returned to his new home, his home was almost clean.But he didn’t have time to appreciate his new home. He even hurriedly took a few bites of bread and met with the two children who were about to be adopted. The two children were nervously hiding behind Christoya to watch him secretly, watching Only 21 years old, Christoya has initially won the trust of these two orphans.

Before he could speak, Yasisters hurriedly said, "Bagul has already arrived."

Daveus hurriedly asked Yasisters to take the person to the partial room.

After being hungry for a day, Bagul was led to the partial room with his hands tied back. He simply fell flat on the ground. His physical weakness and mental despair made him no longer hope to live.

At this time, he heard a low voice: "This is the son of the Lucanian leader Vespa, what the Lucanian said is the warrior Bagul?"

Another voice replied: "Yes, the consul."

"Why does it look like a dead dog?" Hearing the ridicule of the coming man, Bakul remained motionless, without even blinking his eyelids.

"Thanks to Andrea I still praised him as a warrior. Hehe, he didn't even dare to look at me." The person continued to mock.

This time, Bagul opened his eyes. It was a man younger than the one who had brought him. He was a little surprised, because he clearly heard that he was called the consul.

"Ann... How about Andrea?" His hoarse and weak voice was deeply concerned.

Daveus didn't make fun of him anymore, but stepped forward and said seriously: "She's fine, just begging me to let you out, she wants to be with you."

Bagul closed his eyes, and his blood-stained, black-stained face appeared extremely painful. He suddenly turned over and his chest began to rise and fall...

For a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at Davis with tearful eyes: "...out? Can you let us out?! Will you set us free?!"

"What do you think?" Daveus sneered: "Think about what you did in Amendola, slaughter Amendola citizens, insult Amendola women, and force Amendola people to do heavy work , Imprisoning them in a narrow space and giving them only a small amount of water... In less than half a year, the citizens of Amendolara dropped from 1,500 to 500 quickly. This is all you and The sins committed by your tribe! The old and young Amendola women and children, up and down, want to eat your flesh and drink your blood! You think you can escape this punishment!!"

Daveus' words were like a gust of wind blowing out the candlelight in Bakul's eyes. He was lying on the ground stiffly like a puppet, and his despair enveloped his face again.

"But—" Davers remarked: "I, Davis, Amendola Lam's new life-time governor will never agree to killing in revenge! The sins committed by the Lucania will of course be repaid. , But I hope to use another way."

Bagul's eyes were a little more brilliant, and he looked up at Daveus and couldn't wait to ask: "What way?"

"All the men of your tribe have become slaves to the city-state of Amendolara! Usually they are responsible for building roads, repairing city walls, digging canals, repairing farmland, grazing cattle and sheep... as auxiliary soldiers in wartime, and go out with the citizens!" Daveus stared With Bagul.

Bagul was silent for a while. In fact, they also treated the people of Amendolara after they occupied Amendolara. God Asinu, this is really retribution!But what he was most worried about was not the men in the family: "What about women?"

"Of course, city-state slaves. They can cut wool, learn weaving, and olives... As for the underage girls and widows among them, my soldiers, the new citizens of Amendora will marry them as wives!" Dai Firth emphasized the volume of the last sentence.

Bagul was shocked, rolled over and sat up, looking at Davis in disbelief: "Isn't it a concubine?!"

"Yes, it's the wife!" Daveus said affirmatively: "That's my sincerity! I ask you and your people to be sincere and sincere slaves to Amendolara for five years. Any citizen who abuses you, You all have to bear it silently. Of course, if a city-state citizen attempts to attack you, he will be severely punished. But if your clan escapes or attacks the city-state citizen, then escape one, and I will execute ten Lucanias! Injury to a citizen, I will also execute your ten tribes!" Speaking of which, Davers' expression was a bit daunting.

Bagul was silent for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "What about five years from now?"

"Five years later, all of you will become free citizens. If you want to become a citizen of Amendola, you can apply to the city-state. If you want to return to your hometown, we will not block it, but I think at that time, you may not want to leave. "Daveus said confidently: "In addition, if you perform well, such as assisting citizens to win the war, building a good road in a short time... wait, then the five-year period can be reduced... "

Bagul's expression at this time was much more angry than the lifelessness of when he came in. After all, from the destiny of death to the hope of freedom, he could imagine the joy in his heart, and he felt that the new consul was right The goodwill of the Lucania people would not allow their soldiers to marry Lucania women and make them relatives of the captives.So, he said: "I personally agree with your proposal, and I have to go back to discuss with the people, especially my father. After getting their consent, are we going to sign an agreement?"

"Agreement?" Daveus sneered: "There is no agreement here, only an agreement."

"What!!" Bakul was shocked, and it was a matter of life and death for his tribe, and he could only rely on the other party's few words.

"Don't you know that all citizens of Amendola wish to execute you, only I disagree. (In fact, the new citizens have no ill feelings towards the Lukanians. After all, they are not victims, but winners and beneficiaries.) In this case, I can only convince them slowly that your good performance and time will wipe out their hatred. You are not yet qualified to sign an agreement with me, either trust me or go back to the detention until death! "Devers said sternly.

Bagul's face was disappointed, and he said hoarsely: "You are too young... let's rely on..."

Daphes said confidently: "Why? Just because I was the commander in charge of defeating the Allied forces of Lucania, the soldiers trusted me because I always kept my promise! As the lifelong governor of Amendolara, the people also Willing to believe me, because I promise to bring security to Amendolara so that it will never suffer disaster again!"

Bagul looked up at Davos stunnedly. The strength in Davies' eyes and the frankness in his words made him choose to succumb. He said in a deep voice: "I will go back and discuss with the tribe, if we agree, Hope you can keep your promise!"

"Of course! In fact, at a certain time, those citizens who are relatives of your tribe will take the initiative to ask you to be free." A smile appeared on Dave's face.

Bagul heard it, but did not speak again, relying on women to fight for their freedom. For these Lucania fighters, it was a shame, but who told them to lose this war!

After Bagul left, Daphes said to Yasisters, who was silent, "Tomorrow, you are responsible for taking Bagul to the place where Lukalia women are detained and let him choose to marry the soldiers. Women, and then find someone to dress them up. At the same time, you let your uncle Antonios, and Capps, their team officers, incite the single soldiers to go to the senate to make a request to marry the Lucanian woman. !"

"Are soldiers willing to marry these indigenous wives?" Yasister asked curiously.

"So you are going to spread the rumors, saying that Lucanian women are tall, fit, and able to bear hardships..."

"Are these... are they real?" Yasisters doubted.It should be known that the Greeks advocate "beauty of the human body", and the "bodybuilding" alone can attract the attention of many Greek men.

"Of course it is true. Think about the Lucania people living in the mountains, climbing up and down every day, exercising all the time. And they are famous for livestock in Greater Greece. The Lucerian beef cattle are used by the big Greek city-states. Dedicated to the best offerings of the Temple of Zeus, they eat more meat, we eat more cereals, who do you think will grow taller?!..." Dafs explained very seriously.

Yasistus recalled the captive Lucanias and nodded suddenly.

"In addition, to marry a Lucania woman, there is also a preferential bill for the city-state (actually conceived by himself and not yet filed with the Senate),'If they occupy the land in the Lucania region in the future, they will have priority Allocate or allocate more land. Because they are the sons-in-law of the Lucanians, it is easier to get along with the locals'." Davers further increased the weight of attracting soldiers.

"I'm going to do this thing tomorrow." Hearing here, even Asistes was a little bit perturbed, but he was still a little puzzled: "Master Daves, I still don't understand, these Lucania Having become our captives, let them be slaves for granted, why is it so troublesome? What promises to discuss with them?"
