v4 Chapter 38： Triumphal: The highest honor of the Alliance Warriors

The roofs of the street are full of people. They kindly shouted the names of their loved ones. They excitedly interacted with the soldiers on the move. They proudly introduced their husbands or fathers in the ranks to neighbors and let each soldier There is a feeling of returning home.

While advancing in the house, Felicius was subconsciously looking at the past, crowded with people's own roof, and the young man who called and jumped again was not Melishanda! In the noisy crowd, he could barely hear the voice of Melishanda: "That is my father! That is my father! Father! Father!!..." and by his side, Delia is looking at him. , smiled...

Felicius smiled, this is a smile from the heart...

The marching army turned west, and there was a huge arch built of white marble. This is the Arc de Triomphe that Daves called: the vault is a statue of the goddess of victory, and the stone on the threshold is carved according to the advice of Daves: annihilation The battles of the Lukania tribes, the nights of the Amendora, the attacking Crotone army, and the capture of the Niutum four lay the battles established by the Union of the City of Dionia to be remembered by future generations. However, due to time constraints, no good engraver has been found, and the arch is still blank.

After crossing the Arc de Triomphe and heading west, the road gradually widened. At the end of the road, the newly built plaza was put into use because it was too tight and didn't even have time to name it.

Lizam, who raised his flag, stepped up, because he had vaguely seen dozens of white figures on the square platform. According to prior instructions, he knew that it was his respected consul, Davers and the veterans of the Senate. Waiting for their arrival.

"They are coming! They are coming!..." Henipolis shouted excitedly.

"Quiet, son." Avinogis said to Devils, holding the swaying Heinepolis: "Adult, thank you for your care of Henipolis during this time!" After arriving in Turui, Davers did not arrange him at the hotel, but let him stay in his own home.

"Henipolis is very sensible! I also love learning! His teacher Ansitanos likes him very much! And after he came, my family was very busy!" Davers smiled.

In these two days, Avinogis learned from Heinepolis that Davis had taken good care of his son. He was not a person who would be grateful to his mouth, and decided to have a chance to return Dave in the future. The grace of Sri Lanka, then the topic turned: "Adult, your warriors are coming!"

"They are not only the warriors of the Alliance, but also the warriors of our alliance, guarding the security of the entire alliance!" Davers said with a smile.

Castellon’s chief general, Amigris, nodded in agreement. As a member of the Dionysian League, Castron and the top of Laos were of course invited to observe the ceremony, and they all readily participated.

At this moment, seeing the army where the long dragons in the distance generally marched neatly to them, they did not feel that the Union of Dionya was showing off their force, because the Union of Dionyas as the lord would not be like the one in the Delos League. Like the will of the ally, Athens desperately exploits the various allies and asks for tribute; nor does it arbitrarily intervene in the internal affairs of the various squads like Sparta in the Peloponnesian League. As for sending troops to participate in the war, this is an obligation of the allied city-states, but it is an equal performance. Therefore, the stronger the Union of Denia, the more secure they feel as an ally.

Davers looked at the team coming to the square, and he thought about it: the reason why he did not go to Rome in the past, let the officers go to the forefront, but let the soldiers take the lead: First, to cultivate the honor of the soldiers. Feelings, more undermining the alliance’s concept of equality, will greatly enhance the morale of the troops; second, reduce the influence of the winning generals on the people, so as not to grow up in the past, there will be some accidents, so he will also put Filipius in the team. The most inconspicuous middle position, while letting several captains enjoy the honor of riding a carriage, is also for this purpose. Even so, for the soldiers, this novel ceremony of celebrating victory that has never been held in the Greek city-state is a great honor.

The bronze number rang, the drums rang, and the soldiers began to enter the square.

"Oh, I can't believe it! Lezaru is the one who walks in the front!"

"Which Lizaru?"

"Bagule is a famous hunter in their tribe!"

"Hey! He actually walked to the front and walked in front of the Greeks. The league is really not biased against our Lukarias!"

"Look! Look! Bachule! It's so envious of sitting in the carriage! It's so enviable!!"

"When can I be like him?!!"

......

In the crowd on the side of the square, the Lucanias who came from Niutumm, such as Kesima, Ulazar, and Hermon, shouted and shouted, excited to dance...

Of course, it was impossible for Bagul to see them in a dense crowd. The royal hand drove the carriage, and after a week of the race, he took him to the center of the square, and his mighty figure provoked Lukaria like a big stone. The huge waves in the youth: a warrior should enjoy this glory like him!

When the drum sound stopped, the square was silent, and the soldiers looked up at the Alliance Consul standing on the platform.

Davers took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "The warriors of the Alliance, during these long periods of more than 20 days, you are far away from your loved ones, rushing to unfamiliar mountains, fighting fiercely with fierce enemies, and taking Niutum. At the same time, assisting the Allies to restore Raos and solve the problem that Turui has been attacked by enemies from the mountains for many years. People thank you! The Senate thank you! The Alliance thank you! My efforts and the work of the Senate Sacrifice to the most sacred thanks!!" He said, he took the lead and the veterans behind him solemnly bowed to the front of the soldiers.

The square was instantaneous.

"Wansheng!"

"Wansheng!!"

"Wansheng!!!"

......

The soldiers shouted in excitement.

"It is precisely because of your efforts that the Dionysian League was formally established! After the Senate's deliberation, the Triumph will be today's festival to celebrate the birth of the Alliance! And your flag will become the flag of the Alliance. Flying above the square!"

"Alliance wins! Alliance wins!! Alliance wins!!!"

Listening to the cheers of the soldiers and the people, Daves believes that the National Day and the national flag will unify the people from the Mediterranean cities and all ethnic groups under the alliance, and gradually submerge to form a brand new race, adding a lot of weight. !

...........................

In the afternoon, Daves hosted a banquet in the house of Turui to host Tima Song, Zantitipis, Kryano, and Tolmed, accompanied by Agarcia and Felicius. Hieronymus.

Eating novel and delicious food, drinking mellow wines, recalling the scenes of fighting together in the past, the atmosphere of the banquet is still warm.

At this time, Kriano asked the wine cellar and said, "Daves, you are such a beautiful courtyard, and you are the consul, and what is the head of the army, it is really enviable... oh... When will we be like you?!"

The topic is coming! Agarcia immediately raised his spirit.

Davers smiled and said: "As long as you work hard to make your contribution to the alliance, become a citizen of the Union, get the land, and get a life like me, it is not a problem at all! In fact, in the league than me. There are so many rich people..."

“Contribution? What kind of contribution?! I heard that it takes five years to become a full citizen of your alliance, let alone be a veteran of the Senate, which is even more difficult!” Kryano V.

"Yes, the law of the alliance is so stipulated. All Gentiles and free people are executed according to this, no exception!" Daphus said calmly but with a firm tone.

"But-" Kryano pretending to be drunk, pointing to Agarcia, said aloud: "Hey...Agacia is not saying this to us in Ephesus, he said, 'As long as we come big Greece, soon will become a citizen, get the land! Even become a veteran of the Senate! 'It is because of listening to him, we came to such a far away place, now you tell me, it will take five years to achieve this, Isn't this a lie?! And I heard that the Lukaria soldiers on the triumphals were still slaves six months ago. They were official citizens six months later. Their leader also became a veteran of the Senate. Can we even be indigenous? People are worse than?!!"

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly solidified.

Agarcia clenched his fists in an angry manner. In order to attract Tima Song, they came up with some inductive words, but there was no such exaggeration as Kryano said. He wants to refute, but under such circumstances, it will undoubtedly make the scene more rigid.

Agarcia was hesitating, and Felicius was also eager to stop. Hieronymus frowned and looked at Davers. On this side, Tima Song, Zantitipis, and Tolmide seem to have not heard the general, continue to eat food, but erect their ears in the dark...

Daves still looks the same cast a comforting look to Agacia, not too slow to say: "Kerryno, don't worry, sit down and listen to me. ......"

Crianno made a fire, but it was like hitting on a wet cotton cloth. It didn't seem to work...

He sat down awkwardly.

"To tell the truth, why do some people want five years, some people only need half a year? It is in the interest!" Daves looked at the mercenary leaders and said seriously: "Because the Lucalia can help The league flattened Niutum, and even helped the Alliance conquer more Lukania territories, not to mention that they have made a lot of contributions to the league before. The road you took by the car was repaired by them, Croto The internal army is assisted by their defeat. They also actively learn Greek, understand and abide by the law of the alliance. For such a group of aliens who are willing to integrate into the alliance and bring great benefits to the alliance, the Senate must of course give them citizenship in advance. And the people have no objections, because they are very clear, the league gets much bigger than the ones paid!

Agarcia is not wrong. Although you don't have the advantage of indigenous people like the Lucalias, you are good at fighting, and there will be no less war in the future. As long as you win the battle, let the Senate see it. To your value, then becoming a citizen a few years in advance is not a problem! ”
