Chapter 36 Triumph and Former Comrades in Arms (1)

.

After a while, I could already see the port on the shore and the densely packed ships in the port, one after another, like wooden walls.

"There are so many ships, it doesn't seem to be worse than Ephesus!" Zantiparis exclaimed, while Agarcia didn't speak. He found that the port had changed significantly after more than a month after leaving Turui. , not only expanded the area, increased the wharf, but also built a breakwater.

At this time, a patrol boat came up and motioned them to stop.

"I'm Agarcia, the senator of the Tua Union Senate, and I want to disembark at the pier in the city of Turii!" Agarcia's majestic appearance on the bow was quite the envy of these mercenaries.

The person who can serve as the captain of the maritime patrol must be a citizen of the alliance. Even if they have never dealt with these dozen elders in the Senate, they have an impression. The captain motioned to move the patrol boat closer. , saluted respectfully, and said loudly: "Respected elder Agarcia, the captain of the Alliance's maritime patrol, Midorades, salutes you! You must have left the alliance for a while, right?"

"Yes, I left before September, went to Ephesus, and only then came back."

"No wonder you don't know that the alliance is now renamed the Dionian City-State Alliance, not the Tua Alliance!"

"What?! The name has been changed! Why?!" Agarcia asked in surprise.

"Because the Alliance has taken Niutum, we have another city, and the name Turii-Amendolara Alliance is no longer applicable. Not only that, but Laos has also become our alliance! Dive Lord Si, fulfilled his promise, we no longer have to worry about the invasion of the Lucanians!" Midorades said excitedly.

Niutum was captured, Laos became an alliance, the alliance changed its name! Agarcia didn't expect so many things to happen after he left the league for just over a month, as if he had suddenly become a stranger. He wanted to go back to the city immediately, but the patrol boat was still blocking the front: "Sir, today the Alliance held a triumphal ceremony in Turii for the generals and soldiers who returned from the victory in Lucania to celebrate the victory! To prevent accidents, the Alliance stipulated that No ships are allowed to enter the Krati River, you may have to disembark at the port.” Midorades turned to look at the mercenaries behind Agarcia, and reminded: “In addition, the alliance stipulates that in addition to alliance citizens and Prospective citizens and invited VIPs can enter the city to watch the ceremony, and foreigners and free people can only watch outside the city, which is also for safety!"

Although Agarcia was disappointed, he also knew that the alliance was justified. He smiled reluctantly: "Thank you, I will go to the port to disembark immediately. Has the triumphal ceremony begun?"

"Not yet, you can catch up."

Wait for the patrol boat to leave,

The mercenaries rushed over and surrounded Agarcia.

"Agarcia, you didn't lie to us, you really became a noble of the city-state!"

"Dear Agarcia, when will we be like you?!"

"Congratulations to the Dionysian Alliance for capturing another city! Agarcia, how is your Dionysian Alliance in Greater Greece now?"

Facing the eyes of envy and surprise, Agarcia's vanity felt great satisfaction, and to Timasson's question, he answered proudly: "I told you before that the alliance owns Turii and Amendola. La, now has Niutum, and also has two affiliated city-states of Laos and Castellon. These are real big cities, each of which has subordinate towns and villages, especially Turii, Its land area is no less than Attica in Athens, but it is far more fertile, and there is a large amount of surplus land in the alliance, which is not cultivated by people. As long as we have enough citizens, then our strength in Greater Greece must be No one can compare!"

"Then what are we waiting for, hurry up to see Davos!" Everyone shouted eagerly.

Merchant ships entered the port as instructed by the navigator and docked at the wharf.

As soon as they left the pier, they were stopped by the patrol. It turned out that the property that Tima Song and the others robbed were replaced by money, except for the armor and the shield and spear that they carried on their backs, the patrol thought that dozens of them all carried weapons, especially when the triumphal ceremony was about to be very dangerous. Even if Agarcia acted as a senate elder, he was still required to deposit his weapons, otherwise he would not be able to enter the alliance's territory.

Everyone reluctantly put the weapons back on the merchant ship. Facing the complaints of the mercenaries, Agarcia had to explain: "There are few citizens in the alliance now, but there are too many freemen and foreigners pouring into the alliance, and there are often fights and troubles. Yes, the requirements are so strict for the safety of the alliance!"

The complaints of these mercenaries were still unabated, but the leaders such as Timasson, Crianno, and Zantiparis remained silent: For them, who were used to being free and undisciplined, Agarcia reminded them many times on the road, " When you arrive in the alliance, you must abide by the laws and regulations, and don’t cause trouble, because the laws of the alliance are very strict!” Most of the dozens of people who followed Agarcia were the leaders and team officers of mercenaries, and they were relatively well-behaved. West Asia's words were a little disapproving. At this moment, they were so excited that they were poured cold water, which made them realize that even the guarantee of Agarcia, who is the elder of the Alliance Senate, does not work. The seriousness of the people here can be imagined. .

But in fact, they forgot their mercenary status for a long time, even if they were recruited in other city-states, they could not be allowed to enter the city.

The port has indeed changed a lot. Not only has the area expanded, the number of docks and houses have increased, and a city wall has been built, with soldiers standing guard and patrolling it. Agarcia pedestrians have to pass the checkpoint under the city wall to enter the territory of the alliance.

Sentinels on the level questioned them carefully and registered before allowing them to pass.

Tima Song frowned and said, "Agarcia, you have strict requirements here. It's better for us to follow you. I'm afraid the other brothers who scattered later will have some trouble!"

"It doesn't matter, I will come here to pick them up every day." Agarcia also thought of this problem, he said simply. Three thousand people is not a small number, and everyone also expressed that they would come with Agarcia to greet the other companions.

The market in Turii is on the side of the city wall, and it has also expanded a lot. There are also more buildings next to the market: weapon shops, fabric shops, vehicle repair shops, boat rigging workshops, gold and silverware processing workshops, pack animal rental shops, bakeries, hotels, restaurants... but it should be very noisy. The market seems a little deserted at the moment.

Agarcia and the others bypassed the market and came to the side of the avenue. Dozens of coachmen gathered around them: "I'm going to see the Triumph, it's about to start, take a carriage, and still catch up!..." The coachman You persuade in my words.

The price of the next Opol is still relatively cheap. Although the market is only a few miles away from Turiyi, the mercenaries are still willing to experience the feeling of riding a carriage.

While galloping on the flat road, the carriage was fast and smooth, and when they were still indulging in the thrill of this speed, a huge sound wave hit the front.

There was a sea of ​​people in front of Turiyi City, with thunderous cheers, but only one voice resounded through the earth: "Come on!!! Come on!!!..."

Just to the west outside Tuliyi City, facing the gentle rising sun, a long golden dragon marches here...

The coachmen have stopped driving, and there are too many people to squeeze in, but standing on the carriage can still see the scene of the crowd:

The flag-bearer at the forefront of the team was the bravest and most outstanding soldier in this expedition. Lizaru never thought that he would get this honor, so that until now, his usual stern face has been smiling. He couldn't close his mouth and was about to reach the crowd. He straightened his chest again and held the legion flag high. Cheers, exclamations, and praises gathered together, and rushed towards him, like a magic medicine that made his whole body instantly. full of power...

Timasong narrowed his eyes and saw that the top of the flag towering in the air was the solemn and mighty bronze statue of Hades holding a double fork, which reminded him of "Davos is Hades' favored person" rumors.

Looking at the four golden characters of "Third Legion" and four golden five-stars embroidered on the flag, and listening to Agarcia's narration of its origin, everyone in Tima Song couldn't help being a little lost.

Immediately following the legion's flag-bearer was another military flag. Under the ghastly statue of the god of death with its wings spread out, the flag was embroidered with the eight golden characters of "Second Brigade, First Company". , but considering the public's perception, Davos gave the honor of the first team to the city to the second company. As compensation, Davos gave the Lucarians the honor of the Legion's standard-bearer.

The soldiers marched vigorously and entered the crowd with their heads held high, enjoying the cheers of the people...

The mercenaries watched them intently, laymen watching the fun, experts watching the door, Zantiparis said to Agarcia: "These soldiers of yours are good, their fighting spirit and momentum are good!"

"But it's worse than us!" Crianno said in disbelief.

Agarcia couldn't say anything, just smiled.

At this time, Thormid exclaimed: "Look at these soldiers, they should not be Greeks!"

Agarcia looked intently: the second team that entered the crowd held a banner embroidered with "Fourth Brigade of the Third Legion".

When did the league have a fourth team? With doubts, Agarcia looked at the appearance of the soldiers behind, and at the same time he thought that the city of Niutum in Lucania was captured, and he somewhat understood why Davos did this: "That is Luca. Liyas, since they can become legionnaires, I am afraid they are already citizens of the Union.". () "Mediterranean Overlords of Ancient Greece" only represents the views of the author Chen Rui.
