Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 182 Triumphant Form and Former Comrades (2)

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

Agassia did not know the specific situation, and vaguely replied: "...Of course there are some special reasons, but our alliance is indeed more open and more tolerant than other Greek city-states. It is also more common for foreigners to become alliance citizens, such as you Everyone knows that the Persian businessman who followed Daphes in their camp is now not only a citizen of the Union, but also a veteran of the Senate, serving as a senior public business officer."

"Wow!..." After everyone was amazed, someone said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Since the Persians can become veterans of the senate, wouldn't our comrades who lived and died together with you for a long time share the same trouble? Should be a veteran of the senate?!"

"Yes! Yeah!..." Some people said in harmony.

In order to attract Timmasong to come to Great Greece, Agassia said something unrealistic, but now he is not good to say anything, but the driver, Soricos, can’t hear it anymore, interjecting: "You guys Don’t talk nonsense, it’s so easy to be a veteran of our Alliance! According to the Law of the Dionysian Union Public Office, a citizen must first perform a low-level public office for at least six years and perform well before he can be promoted to a middle-level public office and then do four more. It is only possible to enter the senate after five years of outstanding performance, but first of all, pay taxes on time every year, actively participate in the war, and have no record of violations of law and discipline...You talk about it, is it easy to become a senate of the senate! The elders of these elders have all contributed to the establishment of the alliance. As you said, the Persian Mariji, the port and market of Turui can be as prosperous as it is today. It is entirely his credit! Wesba and Bagul, who are new to the Nursing Home, I heard that it is because of them that Niutum can settle down so quickly! Gentiles, if you open your mouth and shut your mouth, you will be the Senate of the Nursing Home. What have you done for the Alliance!"

The mercenaries were speechless.

"So yeah, if you want to stay in the alliance for development, it's still practical. Become a citizen of the alliance first." Soricos is both complacent and seriously persuaded.

"Smelly old man, don't bother with so much nonsense!" The mercenary Torax and some young team officers shouted angrily, and they were quickly dissuaded by Timmasong, but they had already angered the driver, they immediately shouted to the mercenaries After getting out of the car, some mercenaries insisted that the two sides began to dispute, and Agassia persuaded in the middle, and Soricos also persuaded his companions, and with the assistance of Timmasong and Zantiparis, the two sides reached a settlement. Almost attracted the intervention of patrols to maintain order outside the city.

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

Looking at the strong backs of these mercenaries, Sorikos worriedly said to others: "If these people stay in Turui for a long time, I am afraid that the patrol will have a headache."

At the moment, Tima Song whispered to Agacia: "Is it so difficult to become a veteran of the Dionysian Union?"

Agassia nodded silently.

"If you knew you would have the status as you do today, we should have followed it in Byzantium!" Zantiparis sighed regretfully, and said: "This is all arranged by the goddess of destiny, there is no way, we see Open it! It doesn’t have to be a veteran in a senate and become a citizen. It’s nice to have land!"

"Then we might as well be free in Asia Minor, there is no need to run to this remote place, but also subject to such constraints, you are right, Agacia!" Kriano said angrily.

Agacia embarrassed not knowing how to respond, and the group looked at the parade with their hearts in mind.

The queues and marches of the soldiers of the fourth brigade were not too neat, but they were tall and strong, and quite attractive.For the first time, these Lukalia people from the mountain area received cheers and praises under the public attention. They all threw their inferiority and restraint, which are usually aliens, into the back of their heads. They were all excited and abnormal, and some even waved at the crowd.

After the fourth brigade of 1,000 people passed by, a dozen or so pack cars followed, loaded with gold and silver utensils, gold and silver statues seized by the troops from Niutum, and from Laos. Jewelry, gold and silver coins, etc., a dozen cars full of light, flashing light, dazzling eyes.

The people were even more amazed. If they were not guarded by mighty soldiers around the trailer, I am afraid that someone would have no choice but to step forward and grab a handful.

War brings not only death but also wealth!Davis used this most direct way to show to the Senate and the Alliance people.

"Do you want to hand over your loot to the alliance?" Tima Song asked curiously.

Agassia replied: "It should be assigned to a small number of soldiers participating in the war, most of them turned over to the treasury, and no private possession is allowed."

"If there is no loot available, then there will be no passion in the battle, and who will be desperate to fight!" Kriano said dissatisfiedly.

After thinking for a while, Agacia said, "They are the citizens of the Union, and it is their responsibility to join the army to fight and defend the territory. Moreover, after the trophy is handed over, they will eventually be used on them. , Maintenance and replacement of weaponry, etc. Do we also have these benefits when we were mercenaries before? Think of the brothers who died on the battlefield and could not even return to their hometowns!" Agacia's words There was a little bit of anger in it, obviously also a little bit dissatisfied with the frequent finding faults of these people who were once comrades-in-arms.

Kriello snorted and stopped talking.

Timmasong and Zantiparis were greatly touched.

At this time, Tolmed exclaimed again: "Look, who is that?!"

After the carriage, there were five carriages, the first one was a carriage pulled by two pure white horses (the original plan was a four-horse carriage, it is because Turui is now a waste of life, there are not so many horses, only to change For the two horses), a man stands tall on the beautifully carved carriage, he has bright armor, except for not wearing a helmet, this is to let the people see his face clearly, but his expression is a little serious, obviously there are still some Too adapt to such a lively occasion.

"Philisius! That's Phylliss!" the mercenaries exclaimed.

The people were also shouting his name, and there was a wave of cheers: "Philisius! Hero of the Alliance! You defeated the Lucania!..."

Philip Hughes, who was surrounded by people on the inner and outer floors, certainly could not see his former comrades outside. In the face of the people's sincere thanks, he finally squeezed out a smile and waved his arms around.

The people on the second carriage drawn by variegated horses, the mercenaries did not know. Listening to Agassia’s introduction, they learned that it was Dracos, the captain of the second brigade of the First Army of the League, and was originally a hire. The army, after participating in all the battles after Daphes arrived in Great Greece, only got his current status.

The man in the third carriage made the mercenaries exclaim again: "Sironimus!!"

Hironimos, who had been squeezed out of the position of leader by Xenophon, had many people secretly sneered at him, and even more disdainful of his follow-up to Daveus in Byzantium, thinking that he was violent and abandoned. Dignity, to follow a young man whose experience and qualifications are not as good as his.Today, the man they despise stands tall on the carriage, and although the expression is as serious as a woodcarving, the cheers of the people are not reduced at all, showing that he is already a pivotal figure in the alliance.The mercenaries have mixed tastes...

The people in the carriage that followed were unknown to them, but they looked like Lucanians.He is the fourth captain of the group, Bagul, as the only Lucaria in a horse-drawn carriage to participate in the triumph. He is proud and frightened, fearing that the people of the alliance will be left out because he is an alien, but The lively scene at the scene made him feel relieved: it was the same outside the city, and there was no need to worry about it inside. There was his father, Weisbah, and a large number of Niutum, such as Hermon, Xima, and Uraza. Lucaria prepares citizens to come to Turri to observe the ceremony.He was thinking: At this moment, his image on the carriage will definitely inspire the Lucanians of the league to work more actively for this league!

The person on the last carriage wowed the mercenaries again: "That's Epitanis!!"

Because Epithenis was a man, he had a good relationship with the leaders of other camps during his expedition to Persia. Everyone knew him well.At this moment, he smiled and waved to the surroundings, his movements were free and easy, and some free women women shouted his name in an attempt to attract his attention, but what they did not know was: This seventh captain of the 7th brigade Is more interested than women.

Looking at the demeanor of these former comrades in arms, Tima Song's loss in their hearts can be imagined.You know, in Persia, Philius was just a lieutenant, Epithenis was only a team officer, and Hilolimus was a frustrated general, like Timmasong, Zantiparis, Krian. Now they commanded thousands of soldiers and negotiated to decide the life and death fate of the entire mercenary... And now, the former soldiers have a prominent status in the large coalition, and the former power leaders have been fighting in Asia Minor for a year. The disparity of mercenaries, the strong difference after this comparison made Tima Song and Kriano feel very unpleasant.

When the flag of the legion entered the north gate, it also scattered colorful petals from the sky, and the petals were scattered on the soldiers, adding a little romance to the Yingwu...

The city is cheering even warmer.Enter the city of Turri from the north gate, go two blocks forward, and turn west to take you directly to the square.
