Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 175 Davis's Visit (3)

Hearing his words, Daveus also fell into contemplation, but after all, his previous life was very knowledgeable, and he asked tentatively, "Is it possible to build a cable bridge?"

"Cable bridge?" Little Heracled immediately turned to consult, and he always attached great importance to Dave's opinion.

So, Davers told the little Heraclid the general structure of the bridge (he didn't know much about himself).

Little Heraclid, who already had more experience in building bridges, suddenly opened his eyes. He kept thinking all the time, standing on the cliff from time to time and looking across the river: there are continuous low hills and lush woods, it is not necessary As long as there is a bridge in the area traversed...

After walking for a while, Herculed Jr. said to Davers: "It feels easier to build a cable bridge over this river, and of course it is necessary to go through specific experiments to make a conclusion. However, this cable bridge is the most important The material should be the rope. Just looking at it all the way, at least 50 meters long and tough rope is needed to reach the opposite bank..."

"Rope is not a problem." En Anilus deserves to be a shipbuilder and interjected: "Just extend the rigging of the sailboat. I can guarantee that it is strong and durable."

"However, the number of people passing through the cable bridge is limited. We can build a few more." Daveus also added.

Herculed Jr. nodded, then stared at the ground and continued to think.

On the way to the march, Davos's eyes were carefully observing the surrounding landforms. From time to time, he saw the Lucanians grazing in the forest on the right. They may be facing such a huge The team, especially the heavily armed first brigade, appeared nervous and alert. Some simply hid behind trees and rocks and even peeped. Even the sheep ran out of the mountains and ran into the team in fright. They did not dare to come and ask for it.

"Should they be Lucanians from Nyutum? Should their grazing cattle and sheep be leased from the league?" Daves asked with interest.

So, Weissba took the sheep from the soldiers, walked to the edge of the forest, and shouted to them in Lucanian.

After a while, he returned the sheep and came to Daveus.

The elders are all around, wondering what he said to the locals here.

"Master Daves, they are indeed Nyutum, but not all Lucanians. There was a Greek slave who was once Udele, now free, and married a Lucianian widow, It is now a reserve citizen of the Union. Two Lucanians who were also slaves are now reserve citizens of the Union, one of whom also married a Greek woman who was also a slave. The shepherds were all small tribes who had been oppressed by Udler and now they have all become reserve citizens of the alliance..." Weisba said one by one.

"What is their attitude towards the league?" Scombrus asked.

Weisba glanced at him and replied: "They are very grateful to the Union for saving them! Now that they have become citizens, they feel free and complain a little."

"What do you complain?!" Scombrus asked urgently.

"Complaints that the alliance refuses to let them rent more animals." Weissba grinned, trying not to make himself smile.

"They think well, but there are so many animals. If they want more, others don't." Scombras muttered.

"Do they have any objections to the 5% tax?" Marcy Sakus asked.

"This tax is much lower than before. They now hope that the animals will have more cubs, because those are all owned by themselves." Weisba replied.

"It seems that Sesta and Bagul have done a good job in Niutum. The people here are already beginning to accept us..." Daveus smiled.

Even the veterans who had previously opposed the acceptance of the Lucania had to agree with Daveus.

………………………

In the afternoon, Davers' team arrived in Nyutum.

Niutum is somewhat similar to Amendola, it is also built on a hillside, but its scale is larger than Amendola, and it has a wooden wall.

It is here that the cliff on the east bank of the La River becomes inclined and gentle, and people can easily reach the river. From here, the terrain is gradually higher, but the area is getting wider and wider. The area between the upper reaches of the Ni River, the Lucania people call it "the fertile soil of the mountains", in fact, its terrain is not flat, but compared to the mountainous area, it is much better, and the land is also It is more fertile and suitable for farming, so it has become a settlement of small tribes, which is obviously why the Lukalia of Niutum chose to build a city here.

In the morning, Maxima received a notice from the Chief Executive’s mansion: Daveus, the lifelong governor of the Dionysian Union, is about to visit.

Kexi Ma, like other young Lukalia youths, signed up and greeted him. After this period of propaganda and previous rumors, Kexi Ma had longed to see this league’s famous and rumored "Son of God".

Although waiting for a long time, when he saw the arrival of a large team, the already exhausted Maxima quickly rejuvenated and followed Sesta's stride to meet him. He saw the man crowded in the crowd: he Very young, but everyone around him has sincere respect for him, making him radiate an indescribable majesty, yet his face always has a kind smile on his face, and everyone responds. Sincere greetings, majesty and gentleness have formed a strange harmony on him...

"Sir, I violated the orders of the Senate, and I made a mistake!" Sestada said frankly to Daphes.

"No, it's because we don't understand the situation here. You have done a good job here! It turns out that you are an excellent city chief. This is what I and the elders have in common!" Daveus kindly addressed him The previous approach was affirmed.

"Thank you, lord!" Sesta rested his mind. Before he heard the report from the slave sent by Felix, the senate was dissatisfied with his killing of the captives.

"Sir Davies, hello!"

"Bagule, you have successfully completed the task assigned to you by the Alliance! I have also fulfilled my commitment. Look, I not only brought your father, your people, I also brought a special Guess who is it?" Compared with Sesta’s conversation, Daveus seemed more relaxed in the face of Bagul and actually made a joke.

"I can't guess." Bagule touched his head happily and answered.

"You look back."

"Ah... Andrea?!"

"It's a little late to recognize it now. Andrea will punish you for forgetting her!" Daveus finished jokingly. Andrea glared at Bakul fiercely.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!..." Everyone laughed.

"I originally wanted to hold a wedding for you here, but Andrea insists that it will be held at the Hera marriage celebration in April next year, so you can discuss it yourself, I can't help you!" Dafus teased Everyone laughed again.

"Sir Davies, hello! This is Hermon." A middle-aged strong man stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Oh, I know you! Sesta wrote to praise you before, saying that you actively cooperated with him, stabilized the situation in the city, and helped him solve many problems. Thank you very much!" Davers immediately praised loudly.

"It's nothing. I'm also a citizen of the alliance!" Hermon felt that he was worth the effort even if he was remembered by the number one figure in the alliance.

"Yes, it's very good to know this way! This alliance is mine and yours. It belongs to the Greeks and belongs to the Lucanias!..."

"You are right, Master Davis!"

...

Maxima listened and listened, unconsciously excited, and felt like he really blended into this league.

At this time, Davers came to him.

"Sir Daffers, this is Maxima!" He strode forward, saluting very respectfully.

Daveus also returned a gift from Lucania, and said happily, "You are a good friend of Bakule. I heard Bakule talk about you, and I am also a good friend of him, I don't know me Is there a chance to be your good friend?"

"Of course! Of course!" Xima promised excitedly.

Daveus always greeted the people who came out to greet him, and then asked Sesta: "Why didn't Acistes come?"

"Because the waiting time is a bit longer, the second and fourth teams play football games to kill time, and Yasisters is serving as a referee."

"Don't I let Ezham tell you not to have so many people come out to meet you?!" Davers criticized.

"They came voluntarily, and they all hope to get your compliments from adults." Sesta explained busy.

"But now it seems that football is more attractive than me!" Daveus said jokingly, dispelling the slightest dissatisfaction.

He looked in the direction of Sesta's fingers: there was a large circle of people not far north of the city gate, and cheers and exclamations came from time to time...

"Tuliyi because the arena has not been built, and has not yet started the game, you have got it here first!" Daveus laughed.

"Yeah, now the soldiers of the second and fourth teams are playing rugby games every day, often attracting the people here to gather to watch." Sesta said with some concern: "I'm afraid they are too addicted to this game, delaying Something serious."

"So I want to warn Bagul and Drakos that they manage their own soldiers." Daveus nodded and said: "However, it seems that the citizens here also like this game very much."

"Sir Daffers, we like rugby games very much, and it's very exciting just to watch the game!" Maxima interjected.

"Will you play?" Daveus asked with interest.

"Bagule said that we are not familiar with the rules of the game, let's watch and learn from it. In fact, we have already seen it!" Uzza said dissatisfiedly.
