"But...but... people are going to die in war... Amendolar is dead... too many people!" Cornerus said stutteringly.

"With the leader of Davers, we will only win battles. Don't you want to take revenge?! Go and attack the Lucanians?!" Amintas looked at Cornerus with a little contempt.

Before Cornerus could answer, Trittodmos shouted, "Of course you have to take revenge! You must let these evil barbarians taste the power of Amendora!..."

Amendolar has been weak for too long, and people's hearts are also thinking of changing! Davers was very happy to see this change. He immediately said: "Although we should aim to conquer the indigenous people, we should not blindly start the war, but strengthen Amendolar's power first and wait for the opportunity. So whether everyone agrees to submit this proposal to the Citizens' Congress for voting, 'Any outsider who is willing to join Amendolar and become a citizen of Amendolar, as long as he is willing to abide by Amendolar's laws and meet some conditions, the Senate of Amendolar will accept him as an Amendolar citizen'. As for what conditions to meet and meet, we will discuss and decide."

"Agree!!" everyone shouted in a wide speech.

Cornerus sighed and closed his eyes slightly. He understood that from then on, Amendolar will no longer be the traditional conservative Amendolar, which will not change for decades, because according to Amendolar's current citizen composition (new citizens account for the vast majority) and the atmosphere at the scene at this time, this bill will definitely be passed by the Citizens' Congress.

(A few days later, Davers' proposal was indeed passed at the Citizens' Congress, and this bill was the "Deves Immigration Law" written by later historians in this world in European history. Its promulgation changed the tradition of the Great Greek city-state, changed the political ecology of the entire Greek world, and ultimately changed the history of the Mediterranean. This is a later story.)

"In that case, I recommend Mariji as the business officer, making him the first beneficiary of our new bill and set a good example for those who are late!"

"agree!"

"We have no objection!" The new citizens, especially the team leader, expressed their agreement. This is why Davers insisted on letting them participate. With their support, even if the old citizens were dissatisfied, they could only remain silent.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the venue was very different from before. With new goals, the enthusiasm of these new citizens was obviously high. Davers decided to strike while the iron was hot: "Do we Amendorala have the position of building a management position?"

"Creation Officer?" Cornerus said he had never heard of it: "You mean the person responsible for building public buildings. Amendorala has no fixed position on this. If the Senate determines that it will build public facilities, it will temporarily establish the person in charge."

"The position of a construction official is not only to build some kind of public facilities. He is responsible for supervising and building various buildings in the city, and regularly maintaining them. At the same time, supervising the cleaning, sanitation and safety of roads, and paying attention to the city's entertainment facilities. His responsibilities involve both the daily lives of citizens and the image of the city-state. From the construction of wells, roads, to temples and arenas, they are all the scope of his powers. It can be said to be a very important position!" Davers said solemnly.

"Which city-state has this position?" Cornerus was a little surprised.

Davers smiled and did not answer, because the city-state that owned this official position was Rome, which was the world's largest in history with architectural technology in his previous life. Of course, it is unknown whether Rome already had this official position at this time.

"Since we have taken the attack on the natives as the development goal of Amendorara, it is very important to build a public office of officials, because we need to build strong, wide, flat roads and bridges to facilitate our march and transportation, connect and rule the lands that we will occupy in the future. We also need to build grand and magnificent buildings to show the natives our superior culture and accelerate their surrender to us." Davers emphasized again and asked, "Who is willing to recommend himself?"

"I'm afraid that someone with construction experience can take charge of this." Someone said something, and everyone who was eager to try it out was hesitant.

Alexis stood up decisively.

Davers asked with a smile: "Alexis, have you been a bricklayer before?"

"Sir, I am the only one who recommends myself. Do I have already taken this position?" Alexis asked back without answering.

"I have no objection. Where are you?" Davers looked at the others.

"There is no one except him, he is the only one!"

"But can he do it?"

Everyone said one after another.

"Tell me, how do you become a good construction officer?" Davers asked.

"I can't build, but I can learn, and I can also let experts who are proficient in construction take charge of them. There is no such person in the city of Amendora. I can also search for the free people of nearby city-states. According to the bill you just proposed, you can apply for the right of citizenship..." Alexis said confidently.

Others suddenly realized that they could do things like this as city-state officials.

Many people began to consider: Should they choose a position as well?

"It seems you are already considering how to do a good job as a construction officer!" Davers said appreciatively: "I hope you and your subordinates can study construction technology well so that Amendorara's construction technology can be ahead of other Greek city-states!"

"I will do my best!" Alexis said cautiously.

"Amendorala's treasury is not abundant. If you want to build a large amount of construction, I'm afraid..." Cornerus reminded.

"Of course we won't do big construction now, we just build the organization first, and then act after we get rich later." Davers comforted Cornerus, and continued: "Next, I suggest setting up a military officer to be responsible for city defense, civilian military training, weapon and equipment research and maintenance, pre-war preparations and post-war statistics... and other matters."

"Agree!" This position is the most important thing for the warlike new citizens, so they all seem a little excited.

But when Davers asked, "Who do you think is the best fit for this position?"

The new citizens were silent. The most prestigious one in the army was Davers, but he was already a lifelong consul and was the supreme commander of the city-state army. Apart from him, Hieronius seemed to be considering it. After all, he had been the leader of the mercenary army, but he was a newcomer in Davers's ranks. As for the others, Capps, Amintas, Epigenis, etc., these company captains have made many military achievements and have their own characteristics, but it seems that it is not obvious who is particularly outstanding.

Finally, everyone's eyes were focused on Phelisius. This former mercenary adjutant was usually very low-key and easily overlooked. In fact, he had been a mercenary for nearly twenty years, had rich military experience and was familiar with military affairs. He has been careful in assisting since Davers became the leader. Davers' victory was inseparable from his silent assistance. He set up camp, training, pre-war preparation, post-war statistics, etc., wasn't he doing the work of the current military officer?! It turned out that the position proposed by Davers was set up for him! After understanding this, everyone was calm.

So Philicius was successfully elected.

"Before, we hired mercenaries with a military law, but it was relatively simple. I hope that after you take office, I will also participate in the meeting in a few days, and discuss and formulate a more complete military law to help us train citizens and guide operations." Davers said seriously.

"I understand." Phelis nodded.

When Matonis and others heard that they had to formulate stricter military laws, they immediately lamented.

After hearing this, Davers said seriously: "In the past, we were mercenaries. In order to survive, we obeyed the command of our employers and attacked others randomly. We could kill and rob. But from now on, you are citizens of Amendorala. The interests of Amendorala are your interests. Your image of fighting represents the image of Amendorala. The meaningless killing and plundering will only provoke more enemies for Amendorala and arouse the disgust of Amendorala by the Greeks. What's more, now we have new grand goals. Without strict training and complete military laws, how can we establish a disciplined and combative army of Amendorala citizens! How can we defeat the large indigenous people with the small Amendorala and dominate the Great Greece!"
