v5 Chapter 25: return with glory

In Castron, after the army stayed for one night, Davers rushed over to meet the soldiers.

On the second morning, the whole army's attire was completely renewed, and the soldiers were imposing, and marched in accordance with the pre-established triumphant order of entering the city.

After crossing the bridge, thousands of free people who had been waiting to participate in the battle and the Greek mercenaries headed by Zantitipis also joined the parade. And Davers also changed to a four-horse chariot, and Kapus, Drax, Hieronymus, and Lagos Archon Avinogis also took the double horse chariot, followed by The army marched to the city of Turai not far away.

The free people who had long been waiting outside the city and the families of some of the citizens who were preparing for the citizens saw the figure of the soldiers far away, and immediately burst into the tsunami-like cheers.

Alsini never dreamed that he could become a triumphant flag bearer. At that time, the various legions had reported their candidates. It was Daves who had named Alsini. He thought that in the battle to decide the second Crotone war, Arsenis was the captain of the legion. Leading a team of new recruits, fighting in the front line, facing the fierce attack of the enemy, not only take the lead, but also can command the recruits well, calmly coping. And in the case of more than half of the squad's casualties, still fighting, not brave, bravely counterattack, as the representative of the entire army in this battle!

When Alcinis heard Davers praise him, he would have been grateful to the consuls of the Union for his admiration of Davers!

At this moment, he held up the banner of the commander who represented the whole army, facing the cheers from the face, watching the thousands of waving arms, his proud straight chest...

In the face of such a spectacular scene, even the tough and long-running Tormide is difficult to maintain calm. He is excited to say that he is surrounded by so many people. "So many years of fighting, I have participated in so many battles." It was the first time I realized the pride of being a warrior. Davers was amazing!"

Zandiparis stared in front of her eyes and said, "Don't look around, march well, don't give us mercenaries!"

Tormid hurried his head and said, "You old guy is more serious than me!"

"It's not a big deal to participate in the Triumph. In the future, we will sit on the chariot like the Jerónimos and accept the cheers of the people!" Zantiparis also showed a flush of exuberance.

"That's right!" Tolmid's pride rose sharply: "I heard Daves say that because of this battle, our alliance citizenship inspection period will be greatly shortened. After several more such battles, we will soon be able to Become a formal citizen of Dionia! Until then...oh!"

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

"Kregennis! Hey, that's Kregennis!!..."

"Don't shout! He can't hear, people are now league heroes!"

"Hero?! With his thin body, I can knock him down with one hand. If it wasn't because his bow and arrow shot better than me, now I am cheering in the team!"

"Yeah, this guy who has been cared for by the goddess of luck! It seems that we all need to be busy with the practice of archery. The next recruiting officer will be recruited again, must be selected!"

"you're right!!"

......

When the free-agent team enters the public's field of vision, the cheers are even more heated. After all, there are many free people living in the popular people outside the city. Seeing the companions who worked together in the past became the heroes of the Union of Dionia, while envious, It also inspired their yearning for killing the enemy.

There are more than 20,000 soldiers participating in the triumphal style. The formed column has a length of six or seven miles. The free-agent team at the end has just entered the popular area outside the city. The flag of the team has passed the Arc de Triomphe in the city.

Sobercos looked up at the relief on the Arc de Triomphe and said to Rydes with emotion: "The last time I was watching the triumphal audience, now I am a soldier involved in the triumphal!"

Ledesham laughed: "How are you feeling?"

"good, very good!"

"In the past, our cavalry was too weak to play a role in the battle. From now on, our Dionysian cavalry must be a hero on the triumphals!" Ledes said with an ambitious attitude, his gaze Staring at the towering flag on the other side of the high-flying cavalry flag, although I couldn’t see the contents on the flag from the rear, he knew that there was Daves’s "to win more, beat Crodone." The words of the cavalry, the victory of the battle, it is because of this feat that Daves put their cavalry behind the flag bearers of the whole army.

Because there are too many soldiers participating in the triumphal style, the Victory Square can not accommodate it, and it is prone to accidents. Therefore, this time the triumphal rule: after the parade troops arrive at the square, they are not allowed to stay, take a week, and then go from another street. Exit the city to the East Gate.

On the west side of the square, on the platform in front of the Senate's Great Hall, the veterans paid a solemn attention to the soldiers passing through the square.

Ami Klis, who was invited to observe the ceremony, saw the majestic and arrogant army passing through the platform at a neat pace. He couldn’t help but express his feelings: "I didn’t expect that we actually won the overbearing and arrogant Crotones. This is really a Great victory!” He was glad that he made the right choice before the war began, and Castellon stood firmly on the side of Dioria.

His words got the approval of most of the veterans, but Scamblas expressed dissent: "Daves is the guarantee of victory! With him as the commander, I never doubt that the war will belong to our alliance, but I think we are You should completely beat him when Croton is weak!"

His words were endorsed by a few veterans of Tuli, and even Polissis said: "On this issue, Davers did not consider the feelings of the Turais, letting the Crotones pass, it should not be!"

As soon as the voice fell, Scamblas glanced at him.

"Daveus is doing right!" Kunogolata said in a righteous way: "It is a great general to lead the civics to win. It is the true leader who can use victory and win enough benefits for the alliance." If the war continues, Ionia will probably suffer a lot of losses! I am fortunate that Dionia has such a great consul as Davis!"

"Cournor Gortata is right!" Cornelus should say: "In this war, Davers did not only win a lot of fertile land for Dionia, but also let Dionya The influence reached the southern end of Great Greece!"

"Next, how to manage and distribute these new land will be a lot of time for us to discuss and solve..." Trito Des Moss laughed: "This is a sweet but annoying thing. !"

Everyone smiled deliberately. The elders of the Senate are old and have a lot of business, but there is no salary. In order to increase their enthusiasm and at the same time gain their goodwill and stimulate their interest in expansion, there is a provision in the War Act proposed and passed by Daves: the land acquired in each victory, except for the distribution to new citizens. "Division", rewarding the land of the civic soldiers, each of the hard-working veterans of the Senate will also receive land awards, and the land area obtained shall not exceed the average land area of ​​the soldiers participating in the war. It seems that the land given is not too much, but it will be a large number according to the current expansion speed of Diaonia.

When the veterans were happy to talk about the newly acquired territory of the Union, Polluxs' eyes flashed and he was thinking about something, and Amiclis was envious.

"Look, our big hero is coming!" Plysinras yelled and pulled everyone's eyes back to the square.

An outfit of Daves stood on the Hummer chariot and appeared in Victory Square. He smiled and waved to the people around him, pushing the triumphant celebration to the climax.

The people were so excited that they jumped and jumped, madly waving their arms and shouting the name of Daves They even ignored the guards of the road, broke into the parade, and surrounded Davis. At the center, he stretched out his arm and wanted to touch the guardian who saved Turui, twice defeated the mighty enemy Crotone, and brought glory to the people of the Dayonian, Hades, the goddess of Hades.

The guards were highly nervous and afraid of accidents.

Daves was demeanor. He even walked out of the carriage and greeted the people. He gently said hello to the people and asked if they had suffered losses in the war. They did not need the help of the Alliance... and so on.

The people loved their consuls even more. They collectively embraced Daves and escorted him to the platform before they left their homes.

The elders met before.

Kunogolata first criticized: "Daveus, the situation is just too dangerous! You should stay in the chariot, waiting for the guards to **** you!"

"What's dangerous!" Daves laughed. "The veteran and the people are like fathers and children. As a father, they will naturally care for their children. Children will naturally love their fathers. How can they hurt their loved ones? You said yes. wrong!"

Father and child? ! The veterans who were present repeatedly tasted this sentence and were somewhat shaken. Later, these words spread out and the people were greatly moved. Therefore, the veteran of the Senate also had a more name - father.

The concern of Kunogora is not completely redundant. There is indeed a person who hates the Dionysian Senate and the consul, Davers, in the people next to the square - Locke's messenger Metlow Phoenix, his cold Not all good, but after learning that the "Dyonia Union signed a peace treaty with Crotone and became an alliance", the messenger was anxious and angry, and he hated that he did not live up to expectations. At the same time, when he fell ill, he was moved to the Dionysian Senate.
