Chapter 146 Team Officers

"Although I have not become a Legionnaire, I am a citizen of Dionia, and it is our duty to donate to the Alliance to defend our homeland!"

"My husband died in Bruty, and several children are too young to join the army, but my family has been taken care of by the Soldiers Committee, and it's time for me to repay them today!"

"I'm just a freeman, but I like the Dionysian Alliance, because only here will give us opportunities and hope for the poor, so although I don't have much savings, I'm willing to donate a part to the Alliance, hoping it can defeat the enemy , will always exist!"

...

On this day, whether it is men, women, the elderly, children, citizens, freedmen, slaves, people of different identities gather together for a common purpose and form several long lines from east, west, south and north. Move in four directions to the center of the alliance - Victory Square and the Senate...

…………………………

"Big brother, you're back!" Kunogolata's youngest son, Deca Okrat, was very happy when he saw Sostatus, who was recruited into the Seventh Legion and served as company captain a while ago, walk into the house. Excitedly, he rushed up and said, "Brother, your seventh army annihilated the Tarantum people. This battle was so beautiful! Tell me the details of the whole battle!"

"I don't have time now, I'll talk about it later, okay?" Sostatus asked as he strode inside, "Where's my father?"

"He went to the square to donate."

"I knew it would be like this, and this old man didn't wait for me. At least the two of them go together, so they can donate less." Sostatus was complaining, but looking at the smile on his face, it was more like a ridicule.

Although his brother's previous answer made Deca Okrate a little disappointed, in his mind, what his brother, who has always been into the eyes of money, just said made him curious: "Brother, are you also going to donate?!"

"Of course!" Sostatus replied affirmatively: "Everyone else has donated, but I don't, it's too conspicuous! Moreover, since we want to donate, we must donate more, so as to attract His Majesty Davos and Attention elders. Brother, you must know that if we win this war, there will be a large area of ​​land in the south waiting for us to occupy, and the prosperous commercial market of Syracuse will be taken over by us..."

Looking at Sostatus, who was excitedly falling into fantasy, Decca Okrate knew: the man in front of him is still the big brother he knew, he has never changed, and the donation is just to get more benefits.

After Sostatus gushed about his vision for the future, he asked, "Where's your sister-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law should be in the house..." When she mentioned her sister-in-law,

Deckard Okrat's words became respectful, of course not because Sostatus' wife was virtuous, but because——

"Why did you come back, Sostatus?! You're not a deserter, are you?! I heard from my father that being a deserter in our alliance will cost you your head! Hurry back to the barracks! I'll let your father and my father beheaded! Let's go and intercede with His Majesty Davos!" This was a Lucanian woman who came out of the main building, shouting in surprise when she saw Sostatus.

"I'm not a deserter, I'm—" Sostatus hurriedly defended.

Who knew that his wife didn't listen to him at all, strode forward and grabbed his ear with one hand: "You're going to lie to me again, aren't you?!"

Sostatus immediately screamed like a pig: "Ouch! It hurts! It hurts! Take it easy..."

Deca Oklat couldn't help laughing when he saw this familiar scene.

After Kunogolata returned to Turii, since his eldest son Sostatus was almost 30 years old and still single, he has been thinking about finding a marriage for his eldest son.

While he was still looking for a candidate for a daughter-in-law, Sostatus finally took the initiative to tell him after knowing his father's plan: he wanted to marry Hermon's second daughter, Krina.

Kunogorata was a little surprised, but he complied with his son's advice. After all, intermarriage with Lucania was advocated by Archon Davers all the time, and enjoyed a lot of alliance benefits, and Hermon was the elder of Lucania, so the marriage between the two parties was a match.

Kunogolata is not a conservative person, so he soon came to propose a marriage. Of course, Hemon could climb the powerful Greek senator Kunogolata in the alliance. Sostatus successfully married Ke. Rina is his wife.

Krina's beautiful appearance is not the main purpose of Sostatus marrying her. What he values ​​is Hermon's influence in the Lucania region, so that he can do business in the Lucania region in the future.

According to Greek tradition, the newlyweds should go out to live independently after marriage, but Kunogolata, who was once devastated, now cherishes the family very much and does not allow Sostatus and his daughter-in-law to move out.

After getting married, Sostatus found out that his wife was far more powerful than other Lucanian women. She was aggressive and decisive in her actions, which made him suffer from "wives-phobia".

In this regard, Kunogolata is actually happy to see it happen, because the daughter-in-law not only manages the affairs of the family in an orderly manner, but more importantly, she is able to take care of this eldest son who is out of character and somewhat deviant.

"I swear to God Asinu, I'm not a deserter! It was His Majesty Davos who sent us home, you can ask someone else!" Sostatus was eager to explain, and in a hurry, he said something wrong.

"When did you believe in the god Asinu?! You want to lie to me again, don't you want to live!" Krina's fingers clenched again.

"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!..."

Seeing the couple fighting, Deckard was amused, and he stepped forward and persuaded: "Sister-in-law, it is indeed His Majesty Davos who asked them to come back, because the soldiers also want to donate property to the alliance."

Facing her brother-in-law, Krina's attitude was much better. She let go of her hand and asked uncertainly, "Is it really because you want to donate, that His Majesty Davos let you come back?"

"Of course!" Sostatus rubbed his red ears and complained loudly, "How dare you doubt your husband's words!"

Krina ignored him at all and continued to ask, "How much are you going to donate?"

Although Sostatus wanted to donate more, he knew that his wife was more forthright, and at the moment when he hesitated, Krina had already made a decision for him: "Then keep you in Chris. Donate all the money from Toya Bank."

When Sostatus heard this, he jumped three feet high, forgetting his fear of his wife, and immediately cursed: "You prodigal woman! My money is nearly six talents! Is it easy for me to make money? You donate it all so easily!"

"What did you say?!" Krina's eyebrows stood upright, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, the screams rang out in the house again...

Melisandre, the commander of the Second Corps, was on his way to his home. His home was not in Turii, because he no longer lived with his mother and Felixius, he married and went out on his own. There is also a story of twists and turns about this marriage.

When Alcines died in battle at Bruti, his will in the Temple of Hades was taken out (since the Temple of Hades was built, Plesinas, at the suggestion of Davos, let the Temple This function has been opened up, so that the people can trust the prestige and divine power of the underworld god, so that they can completely rest assured that the content of the will will not be leaked. Since Dionysus is mainly an alliance formed by immigrants, there are fewer elderly people, and it has been stored up to now. The soldiers who had the most wills in the Temple of Hades were the soldiers before the expedition. They did not know when they would die in battle. Therefore, they wrote their wills before each expedition and stored them in the temple, and transferred the functions of the Legion's baggage battalion to the temple. ).

Since Alsinis had no relatives, in his will he gave half of his estate to his newly married Lucania wife, and allowed her to divorce and remarry, and gave the other half of the estate to his friend - Meli Sanda, and wished he would take more care of his wife before she remarryed.

When Melisandre received this will, she cried to tears.

But what Alcines didn't know before he died was that his wife had just become pregnant before he set off on the expedition. Out of nostalgia for his friend and fulfilling his last wish, 18-year-old Melisanda decided to take good care of his wife He. Puna, let her give birth to the child of Alsinis smoothly. In frequent contact, Melisanda and Hepna, who is not the same age as him, developed mutual affection and finally united. After their marriage, Melisanda lived in the house of Amendolara, which Alcines had given him.

Melisanda and his comrades in the Second Legion who also lived in Amendolara walked north with a smile. After crossing the Cisno River, they were shocked by the sight that caught his eye: the burned village, Deforested forests, destroyed farmland, and blocked canals... The remains of the scourge of Tarantum soldiers can be seen everywhere. Instead, they should be killed one by one to relieve the hatred in their hearts.

Fortunately, the city of Amendolalang was not damaged by any war. After entering the city, Melisanda said goodbye to his comrades and pushed open the door of his house.

"Master, you're back!" the slave girl shouted excitedly.

"Where is your mistress?" Melisanda's eager eyes crossed the atrium to the main building.

"The madam is praying for you at the Hades altar! After you set off on the expedition, the madam is praying every day these days!" The slave girl said respectfully.

Hepna was particularly concerned because her ex-husband Alsinis died on the battlefield. When Melisanda set out on the expedition, she set up a special room in the courtyard as an altar for Hades, and prayed for the safety of her husband every day.

"Oh, the old lady is also there. During this time, she has been living here." The slave girl added.
