Chapter 116

Drakes just laughed, this time the Second Army was no longer the follower of the First Army, and he felt very proud.

Davos patted him on the shoulder hard, and asked again, "Where is the hero who crossed the Craty River?"

"He was injured while crossing the river. He is being treated by a doctor in the city and cannot go out for the time being," Drakes replied.

"Injured! Is it serious?!" Davos asked with concern.

"I heard from the doctor that a few ribs on the left side were broken, the lungs were damaged, and there were some traumas, but after a period of recuperation, they would recover."

"Without him there would be no victory for us today! We must take good care of him!" Davers urged seriously.

"Don't worry, my lord. We'll take care of him!"

Davos nodded and wanted to say something when he saw a large group of people walking towards this side not far away, he immediately smiled and strode towards the eldest Bissinian: "Yes Bajilipi leader?!"

Bachilippi hurriedly bent down, ready to perform Bruti's supreme etiquette: "Bachilippi, the leader of the Pega tribe in Bisinia, pays respects to the consul, Lord Davos!"

Davos hurriedly stopped him and said enthusiastically: "Thank you! Without your help, Bisinia would not be able to restore peace so quickly! Dionia and the people of Bisinia should thank you! Because of your Decisive and selfless, they won't have another family member die in vain!  …"

What Davos said actually made the white-haired old man excited. You must know that many Bissinians have called him a "traitor" these days, and you can imagine the frustration in their hearts. At this moment, the young man in front of him made him feel that he was "a rare confidant".

"Because of your merits, through my proposal, the Dionysian Senate convened an emergency meeting, and with a majority of votes in the election, you will become a member of the Dionysian Senate, just like Lucania's Like Vespa and Hermon, becoming a respected elder in the entire alliance of Dionia, I wonder if you are willing to accept it?"

After listening to Davos' words, the prudent Basilipi showed an expression of consternation, but he quickly answered without hesitation, as if he was afraid that Davos would go back on his words, because this was exactly what he expected: "I do! Thank you for your trust in me!"

Davos grabbed his arms and laughed, "That's great! From now on we are a family!"

Drakes, Adriankes and others congratulated Basilipi.

Bajilipi gave a rare smile.

At this moment, a coughing sound came from behind him, and he remembered what he had overlooked, and turned around and said, "Lord Davos, let me introduce you, this is—"

"Leader Bream of Bisinia!" Before he could finish speaking, Davos had already saluted him first. On the way, he had already learned in detail the situation of several prominent figures in Bisinia. At this moment, he said enthusiastically: "It was with your help that Drakes and the others defended the fortress! Likewise, the Dionysian Senate invites you to join the Senate in order to appreciate everything you have done!"

After listening to Basilipi's translation, Bream was a little stunned. Before, when he saw Cosenza's army withdraw from the fortress, he knew that Bisinia would no longer belong to Bruti, but suddenly belonged to an alliance dominated by Greeks, which was a little uncomfortable psychologically. acceptable.

"Speak, Huanxi is stupid?!" Bajilipi winked at him and pushed him.

"I...I'm glad..." Bream murmured.

Davos didn't care, he laughed and said: "Senior Bream, take care of your injuries! The next battle depends on your help!"

As soon as Brem answered, Kleilu stepped forward. Before he could speak, Davos looked at him and said loudly: "I know you, Cleilu, the hero of Bisinia! If you hadn't stood up And out, how can the soldiers of Bixinia go home smoothly!"

After listening to Bachilippi's translation, Clayrou did not expect that the Dionysian Consul, who had never met before, not only recognized him, but also knew what he had done. He was both excited and contented.

"Originally, I have proposed to the Senate that you should also enter the Senate, but you are too young, and you have never managed a tribe before. The elders of the Senate believe that you should be a Dionysian affairs officer first and accumulate a certain amount of money. After the administrative experience, the elders of the Senate will be open to you!" Dave explained to him staunchly, he did make a proposal to the Senate, but it was just a pretense, and he himself did not want to let this happen now. If a young man enters the Senate, it will only lower the quality of the elders of the Senate, and it will make people feel that the threshold for the Senate is too low. Although the quality of veterans such as Amintas, Alpuensch, and Ryders was not very high before, it was in the initial stage at that time, and Davos needed a lot of support. Now the situation is different.

Although Kleilu was a little disappointed, as an ordinary citizen of the Bixinian Nikuru tribe not long ago, he became the leader of a tribe in a blink of an eye. He couldn't expect too much, so he said humbly: " Compared with the two leaders of Bachilippi and Bloom, I still know too little, and I will do my best to make the tribe adapt to our new homeland - Dionia."

Davos nodded. Although the leader was young, he was steady and well-balanced. Davos was satisfied with him sitting in this position.

Before entering the city, Davos also went to the small river beach.

In the roar of the Krati River, listening to Drax's story about the attack on the city of Vicinia, although the plan was negotiated and drawn up by him, he also felt the thrill of the night when he saw the rushing river, and he couldn't help but be moved. Said: "Sekelian wants to be named Valhalla, and I don't think it's a problem! It is the bravery and fearlessness of him and another warrior that allows us to stand on this beach! I hope their deeds are. Inspire the citizens of Dionia to give to the Alliance, and the Alliance will always remember those who did!"

"Sir, you are right!" Drakes felt the same way.

Most of the Bissinians who followed Davos to the beach did not know the reason for the fall of the town at this time, and sighed. Some people even think that if one or two towers were built in front of the river beach, everything today would not have happened...

At this time, Davos turned around and said to Basilipi and the others: "Turii and Bisinia are actually not too far apart, but the distance between Tuurii and Bisinia makes it difficult for Turii and Bisinia to be separated by a river. It has become so difficult to travel, and it has also made life difficult for the people of Bisinia... So, when this war is over, we will not only build a rope bridge here, but also build a real bridge to make Bisinia The city is no longer a poor and remote place, but a place where merchants gather and pedestrians must pass through, and the city of Bisinia will surely prosper! Because from Turii to the Cosenza Plateau, you will go through Bisinia. This road is the closest!"

Davos's remarks made the hearts of Basinians who could understand Greek, such as Basilipi.

Back in front of the city gate, he refused the request to let "the army enter the city", and let the newly arrived soldiers of the First Corps, Allied Forces and Corps Reserves expand and settle in the defensive camp to the east, but tens of thousands of them were fully armed. The army made a neat turn in front of the city gate, which still made the people of Bisinia fear.

After entering the council hall of Bissinia City, Davos discussed the ownership of Bisinia with the three Bissinian leaders and a few tribal nobles without delay. After half a day of discussions, an agreement was finally reached. protocol:

1. After Bisinia is incorporated into the Dionysian League, the Senate will send a chief executive to manage the administrative affairs of the city of Bisinia.

2. Jurisdiction over the ethnic groups and lands to which each tribe belongs is still vested in each tribe, and the tribal chief exercises the right of management, and the city administrator shall not interfere.

3. Land tax must be paid on time by the chiefs, and military training must also be regularly attended.

4. In view of the fact that Bisinia was the first town in the Brutus region to be incorporated into Dionia, each tribe could apply to the Senate to replace the fertile tribal territory.

5. The rights and obligations enjoyed by the Bissinians are the same as those enjoyed by the Lucanians. At the same time, when they voluntarily request to secede from the tribe and live independently, the tribal leaders must not obstruct them.

...

After the agreement was reached, Bajilipi said hesitantly, "Lord Davos... I have another small request."

"Please say it." Davos replied politely.

"As the life-long consul of the most powerful city-state alliance in southern Italy, you have too few guards! Like our great leaders of Bruti, who is not surrounded by two or three hundred or even thousands of personal guards. Therefore, I hope that my nephew Rodom can be your bodyguard and protect your safety. At the same time, he can also be taught by you how to become a qualified Dionian citizen..."

Rodom? Davos remembered the energetic young man who was in the welcoming team before, and he was about to respond. Others in the hall obviously realized the benefits of Bachilippi's proposal and shouted loudly: "Lord Davos , my son also wants to be your bodyguard!"

"And my two sons!"

"There are five in our clan!"

...

The crowd in the hall was so active only because of the Bissinian tradition. When Nikuru was tyrannical, almost every family in the audience had children sent to him as guards. Now as the conquered, they inevitably have the feeling of worrying about gain and loss. They can get closer to the supreme authority of Dionia and add more security to their family and tribe. Why not do it.

Davos somewhat understood what they were thinking. He didn't respond immediately. He was thinking of another thing: according to the laws of Dionia, the maximum number of guards of the consul was 100, and it was always led by Martius. .
