"Haha, that's because he didn't even play enough!" Davers said, and was intrigued: "Do you want to play?"

"Of course I want it!!..." The young men in Lucania rushed to answer.

"Okay! I'll be a quarterback, who would you like to form a team with me to challenge the winner of their game?" Davers shouted.

"I do!" Ksima shouted hurriedly.

Ulaza also stood up immediately... and soon formed a team of fifty-five people. Except for Davers and the captain of the guard Martius, the rest were all young people from Lukari tribes. Davers led them to the field with extremely excited eyes, and more Lucanians followed closely. The guard did not stop them because of Davers' advice before, so he could only protect the fifty-five people in the middle.

Sesta hurriedly held Cappus, hoping that he would command the soldiers of the First Battalion to maintain order in the field.

The families of the Fourth Brigade were arranged to enter the city, while the elders of Tuliyi walked slowly towards the field.

"Weisba, you really become the senator of the Dioria Alliance Senate as your son said?!" Hemon looked at Veisba among the elders in amazement. He was wearing the same clothes as other elders, and his every move seemed to have the momentum of a big man.

This envious look greatly satisfied Vespa's vanity. Not only Hemmon showed this. Many former acquaintances looked at him differently from the past. It was a mixture of surprise, fear and respect, which made Vespa feel like returning home in glory. This pleasure drowned out the guilt of his resignation to the "enemy".

"Of course it's true!" Vespa replied affirmatively, following other senators, shaking Bodon's sleeves, revealing the purple sleeves that symbolize the senator: "Didn't the consul just said that, 'The alliance belongs to the Greeks and Lukari', so it is normal for the Lukani to enter the alliance's senator and become the elders!"

"Mr. Davers is indeed very friendly to us Lucanians. Being able to get the recognition of those young people so quickly shows that he is truly not prejudice against Lucanians! But—" Hemon pointed secretly at the elders of Turiyi in front and whispered: "Their attitude seems to be worse."

"There is no way to do this! They are either Turiyi or Amendoralans. They have suffered from the suffering of us Lucanians. It is impossible to make them change their attitudes in a short period of time. Lord Davers said, 'This takes time to slowly change them'. Fortunately, the alliance is mainly governed by the consul!" Weisba also said frankly.

"What do you do as a senator?" Hemon asked curiously.

"Make suggestions, pass bills, discuss major events happening in the alliance, and assist the consuls to come up with solutions..." Vesba said with a smug smug: "Sometimes I have to be responsible for some specific matters, such as I am now responsible for the affairs of Lucanian citizens and the Lucanian region. As long as there are issues related to Lucania, the Senate will first seek my opinion. I can also make my own suggestions and plans for safeguarding the interests of the Lucanians, just like... well... well... like levying 5% tax on Lucanian citizens in Niutum is my suggestion. Originally, Greek citizens in the alliance would charge 10% for renting land..." This was obviously Vesba was boasting that when the proposal was passed, he had not yet entered the Senate.

"Oh! You did a great thing for us!..." Hemon looked at him with admiration, which made Vesba even more content. Fortunately, he had not forgotten his main task to come to Niutum: "It's just that the Lucanians are only me and Bagule and Bagule may always be in Niutum in the Senate. I am too weak to argue with so many Greek senators, and they cannot fight for more benefits for Lucanian citizens! Alas..."

"Then... can other Lukari become... the senate?! This will also help you and gain more benefits for us Lukani!" Hemon asked anxiously.

Vespa smiled in his heart: Are you the other Lucanians? What are you pretending, I don’t know what kind of person you, Hemon, are you!

He cleared his throat and said, "Of course, as long as he can make great contributions to the alliance, such as allowing more Lukari tribes to join the alliance, obtaining more support from Lucanians, and being able to complete some difficult tasks in the Lucanian region... etc., to make the Senate feel that he can play a greater role in Lucanian affairs, then becoming a Senate is an easy thing..."

Hemon listened carefully, his eyes flashing with a scorching light...

………………………………………

In the evening, Davers and the elders listened to Sesta’s report at the Chief Executive’s residence.

"To this day, there are 2,503 preparatory citizens registered in Niutum, of which 2,201 are Lukari and 302 are Greeks. During these days, there were 627 mixed marriages between the Greeks and the Lukani. We have allocated 785 cattle and 5,400 sheep, and there are 203 cattle and 2,000 sheep left to allocate them to the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion." Ascestus said this, Bagule immediately expressed his gratitude.

"Niwutum's small tribe, captives, and slaves have all become reserve citizens of the alliance. If the Fourth Battalion settles here, then there will be 3,455 citizens in the reserve citizens..." As soon as Yassitus finished speaking, Davers said directly: "I can tell you clearly that the Fourth Battalion will settle in Niwutum and become the backbone of stability and defense Niwutum!"

"This is exactly what the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion hope! As citizens of the alliance, we will definitely control Niutum firmly in the alliance!" Bagule made a solemn statement.

The elders nodded one after another, satisfied with this answer.

"Mr. Sesta, Bagule and Yassites, you can stabilize the situation in Niutum in such a short time and make so many achievements. On behalf of the Senate, I would like to pay my sincere respect to your outstanding performance!" As he said, Davers took the lead in applauding with the Senate.

The three of them seemed a little excited in the applause: Sesta was excited because he used his performance to prove to Davers that his talents were no worse than those of the leaders who had expeditioned Persia, thus attracting the attention of the consul; Bagule was excited because his performance and his Lucanians had been recognized by these Greek elders, so that they could easily integrate into the alliance; Yassitus was excited because he proved to Davers that he had the ability to serve independently, and that perhaps Davers would send him a more important task next time.

"In addition, I heard from Bagule that the leaders of small tribes such as Hemon, Ksima, and Ulaza were about to send people to the mountains to persuade the tribes that had escaped into the mountains to come down the mountain to join the alliance. In the past two days, the Raussians came to Niutum to ask for joining the alliance." Yassistus added.

"What should we do if our cattle and sheep are divided?" Scomblas asked hurriedly.

"These tribes have livestock, we just need to allocate land to them, and we are enough land." Bagule replied.

"Even if the 'fertile soil between mountains' has been divided in the future, you can still divide it to Turiyi. Now after the land in Turiyi is given to the reserve citizens to rent, there are still a lot of land that is vacant west (mainly high land west of the Koseni River and the Deluo River). It is already planned to rent it to free people who are registered to apply for reserve citizens." Davers reminds everyone.

Some veterans nodded, while others were a little hesitant.

"As for the Raussians, we must put it aside first, and we will discuss it after Avinogis comes." Davers said hesitantly.

"Will Avinogis come?" Masesacus asked uncertainly.

"He must come!" Protesilous said loudly: "The alliance helped him seize Laus, and he has not yet expressed his gratitude to us. Now we have arrived in Niutum, and he has not come yet. Could it be that we, as the leader, can't go to Laus!"

"Maybe he doesn't know we're here yet." Sesta said a nice thing for Avinogis.

"Laos and Niutum have always had contacts. With so many of us, he cannot not get news without such a large formation. We will know whether he will come tomorrow. If we don't come, then we need to reconsider how sincerity Laos is for the alliance!" Davers understood that Sesta, as the chief executive of Niutum, would still need Laos' help in the future, but as the consul, Davers needs to consider the overall situation from a higher position.

Davers's words made the elders agree.

"Sesta, Bagule, after you have placed the people of Niutum, you must arrest the military training. I will let the instructors of Phelisius come to train. You must break up the young people of each tribe and try to mix with Greek citizens. If the Greeks are not enough, you must mix with other tribes. You must not let the soldiers of each tribe gather together! Also... Rugby matches can be held as much as possible. I think the young people in Lukaria like this kind of game!"

"Yes, sir. Ksima and the others have told me many times that rugby games are much more interesting than bullfighting. We Lucanians like this intense sports!" Bagule interrupted.

"Then let them participate, but it must be a team of Greeks and Lucans, which will also help the Lucans learn to speak Greek. Oh... Speaking of this, Bagule, you have to think of ways to let the Lukari in Niutum learn to speak Greek as much as possible!"

"I'll do my best, sir."
