He reminded Epiternis: "If these newcomers come, they are different from the current freeminant soldiers of the Third Battalion. I am afraid you need to submit a proposal at the Senate meeting to let other veterans discuss and review it. I can tell you with certainty that I will do my best to get this proposal passed. Just to become citizens, the conditions they have to meet may be more difficult, and you must be mentally prepared. In addition, it is best to go to the Eastern Mediterranean region quietly and not provoke the Spartans!"

"I understand!" Epitians said excitedly.

Next is the company captain's flag. The top of the company's military flag is an iron statue of the goddess of vengeance, the goddess who fears the Greeks holds a torch in one hand and a viper whip in the other. The flag under the statue is also embroidered with stars and company numbers...

And the top of the team leader's flag is an iron statue of the three-headed dog of Kerpalos...

The entire ceremony lasted for nearly two hours. From beginning to end, the morale of the soldiers in the square was high and cheers were constantly on the outside.

Finally, Davers raised the military flag again, and in the various square formations below the stage, he held high the brigade flags, company flags, team flags, gold, silver and iron statues, red and yellow flags, and red purple and white hat tassels, adding a bit of brightness to this iron wall. But more importantly, with these, the morale of the soldiers will be higher, the command of the team officer will be more efficient, and the action will be faster,...

Davers was very happy to see a real army taking shape. He waved the flag and shouted: "The flag is in the team! The flag is dead! The army flag is pointed at! Invincible in all directions!"

"The flag is in the team!!! The flag is dead and the team is dead!! The military flag is pointed at!! Invincible in all directions!!!..."

…………………………

Most Lukari people don't understand what the soldiers were shouting in the square, but the huge pressure caused by the tsunami-like shouting made anyone with hostility feel scared.

Vesba and his son Bagule both understood, so they remained silent for a longer time.

Finally, Weisba breathed a long sigh, as if he wanted to spit out all the anxiety in his heart: "Child, do you remember the wolves that we often see in the mountains? After the powerful wolf king defeated other lone wolves, some lone wolves would choose to join the wolf pack. Do you think those wolf is very timid?"

"No, father, I think they are the smartest, because they know that only under the leadership of the powerful wolf king can there be enough food, not being attacked by vicious enemies, and their bloodlines will reproduce!... And those arrogant wolves or lonely old-death mountains, or become food for other beasts!..." Bagule understood what his father was thinking, so he took the opportunity to comfort him.

Vespa nodded and gradually made a decision in his heart: "When I was young, I also led my tribe members to make a living everywhere. I have seen many troops from Greek city-states, such as Napoli, Turiyi, Tarantum... No Greek army has ever touched me so much like them! You must know that Amendorara is just a small town. With such an army, what this consul wants may not be simple. Since I can't beat them and become their captives, then... I can only make a choice that is more conducive to the survival of our tribe. I hope the Greeks will not break their promises!"

When the whole city was still immersed in the magnificent enthusiasm of the square yesterday, the business officer Mariji told him about his business plan at Davers' home: "Sir, we Amendoralans have few thalasporas, there are not many rich citizens, there are no special outputs, and there are no ports. If we want to follow the usual methods, it is difficult to attract foreign merchants to come to us for trade..."

Davers nodded, but the truth is that, why has Amendorala been building for more than two hundred years and has always maintained a 4,000 citizen population? Because this small city cannot afford to support more people, the extra people can only immigrate elsewhere to find a livelihood. Therefore, Amendorala has always been a small town. Davers believes that Mariji dares to tell this fact, so he must have come up with some good ways.

"But--" Mariji raised his voice and said, "The port of our neighbor Turiyi is very prosperous. Every day, there are hundreds of merchant ships traded from other city-states to Turiyi. Our other neighbor, Heraclia, although the city was not established for a long time, has twenty or thirty merchant ships coming to trade every day. There are also the port of Metapontum, which is farther away from us, which is equally prosperous... But according to my observations over the past few days, there are some problems in their ports and markets. Because there are too many merchant ships and too many cargoes, there are not enough storage, and there are queues for renting warehouses, so the goods are piled up.

On the open space, it is exposed to the sun for a long time and is easily corroded and lost. At the same time, because there are many foreign sailors and there are not enough hotels in the city, not only are the living expenses and food prices also rise, which makes them complain very much. There are also many people in the ports and are prone to disputes. When disputes occur, the city-state is too slow to resolve the problem, which not only delays the merchants' time, but also often favors the people of their own city-state..." Mariji said in one breath that many disadvantages of the ports near the city-state, which obviously did a full investigation, and even combined with some of his own experiences when he was a businessman.

Hearing this, Davers could vaguely guess what business he was going to do in Amendorara. In the past few days, when he chatted with his wife Cristoya, he found that compared with modern people in his previous life, the economic concept of Mediterranean merchants in this era was not bad, and even the insurance business in Athenian banking (mainly maritime insurance). What's even more terrifying is that the Athenians already knew how to use currency to promote and consolidate Athenian business hegemony. Before the Peloponnese War, Athenians used silver produced in the Laureon silver mine to mint the extremely purity "owl" silver coins (on the side of Athenian silver coins

With the avatar of the patron saint Athena, on the other side is Athena's token owl), even in the most difficult time at Athens, Athens did not reduce the purity of the silver coins, making this silver coins very popular among Greek city-states. Then Athens forcibly promoted the unification of currency in the Deluxe League, which made Athens firmly control the trade of the Deluxe League and consolidated its hegemony. More than two thousand years later, Uncle Sam picked up the work done by the Athenians again. Therefore, Davers did not dare to underestimate the wisdom of these ancient people. He did not rashly express his opinions, but listened carefully to Mariji's words.
