The roofs on the street are full of people. They are warmly shouting the names of their relatives, and they are excited to interact with the soldiers moving forward, and proudly introduce their husbands or fathers in the team to neighbors, so that every soldier feels like returning home in glory.

As he was moving forward, Phelis looked subconsciously at the roof of his house, and wasn't the young man who was calling and dancing on the roof of his house? Amid the noisy crowd, he could vaguely hear Melisander's shout: "That's my father! That's my father! Father! Father!..." And beside him, Delia was looking at him with a smile on her face...

Phelis smiled, this is a smile from the bottom of his heart...

The parade army turned westward, and there was a huge arch built of white marble. This is what Davers called the Arc de Triomphe: the vault is a statue of the goddess of victory. According to Davers's opinion, it was to be carved: the battle of the Lucanian tribal coalition, the night of the capture of Amendolar, the surprise attack on the Crotone army and the skillful acquisition of the four battles that laid the establishment of the Dionian city-constitutional alliance, so that future generations can remember it. However, due to the urgency of time, a good carving master has not been found, and the arch is still blank for the time being.

After passing through the Arc de Triomphe and heading west, the road gradually widened, and the newly built square was at the end of the road. Because the time was too tight and there was no time to name it, it was put into use.

Lizam, holding the military flag, accelerated his pace, because he had vaguely seen dozens of white figures on the square platform. According to his prior instructions, he knew that it was his respected consul, Lord Davers and the senators of the Senate waiting for their arrival.

"They are here! They are here!..." Henipolis shouted excitedly.

"Be quiet, son." Avinogis pressed the restless Henipolis and said to Davers: "Sir, thank you for your care for Henipolis during this period!" After Henipolis arrived in Turiy, Davers did not arrange him in the hotel, but allowed him to stay in his home.

"Henepolis is very sensible! He also loves learning! His teacher Ansitanos likes him very much! And after he came, my house was much more lively!" Davers said with a smile.

In the past two days, Avinogis learned from Henipolis that Davers was careful to take care of his son. He was not a person who would talk about gratitude. He secretly decided to repay Davers' kindness well if he had the opportunity in the future. So the topic changed: "Sir, your warriors are here!"

"They are not only the Warriors of the League, but also the Warriors of our League, protecting the safety of the entire League!" Davers said with a smile.

Castellon's chief general Amicles nodded in agreement. As a member of the Dionian League, Castellon and Laus' senior executives were of course invited to watch the ceremony, and they all happily participated.

At this moment, when they saw the long-distance long-distanced army moving towards them in an orderly manner, they did not feel that the Dionysian League was showing off their military power, because as the leader of the Dionysian League, they would neither ignore the wishes of the allies, and demand tributes, like Athens in the Dionysian League, they would not interfere in the internal affairs of the allies as ruthlessly as Sparta in the Peloponnese League. As for sending troops to the war, it was an obligation that an allied city-state should fulfill, but rather an equality manifestation. Therefore, the stronger the Dionysian League, the safer they felt as an alliance.

Davers looked at the team walking towards the square and thought a lot: the reason why he did not give the generals and officers to the front as he did in his previous life was to let the soldiers take the lead: first, to cultivate the soldiers' sense of honor, to demonstrate the concept of equality in the alliance, and to greatly improve the morale of the troops; second, to reduce the influence of the victorious generals on the people, so as to avoid accidents over time. For this reason, he also placed Philicius in the most inconspicuous middle position of the team, and at the same time let several captains enjoy the honor of riding in a carriage, which is also for this purpose. Even so, for the soldiers, this novel ceremony to celebrate victory that had never been held in the Greek city-state is a great honor.

The bronze horn sounded and the war drums sounded, and the soldiers began to enter the square.

"Oh, I can't believe it! It was Lizaru who walked in the front!"

“Which Lizaru?”

"The famous hunters in the Bagule tribe!"

"Look! He actually walked in front of the Greeks. The alliance really has no prejudice against us Lukari!"

"Look! Look! Bagule! There is Bagule sitting in the carriage! It's so enviable!!"

"When can I be like him too?!!"

...

Among the crowd on the side of the square, Kesimah, Ulaza, and Hemon, the Lucanians who came from Niutum, shouted and shouted, and danced with excitement...

Of course, Bagule could not see them in the dense crowd. After driving the carriage for a while, he took him into the center of the square. His majestic figure was like a big rock that stirred up a huge wave in the heart of the young man Lukari: a warrior should enjoy such glory like him!

When the drums stopped, the square was silent, and the soldiers looked up at the consul of the alliance standing on the platform ahead.

Davers took a step forward and said loudly: "The warriors of the Alliance, during these twenty days, you stayed away from your relatives and went to the strange mountainous areas, fought tenaciously with the vicious enemy, captured Niutum, and at the same time helped the Allies to restore Laus and resolve the problem of Turi's attacks from the mountainous areas for many years. Thank you! The Senate thanks you! The Alliance thanks you! I and the Senate express the most sacred thanks to you for your efforts and sacrifices!!" As he said that, he took the lead and bowed to the soldiers ahead solemnly.

The square was boiling in an instant.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!!"

"Wansheng!!!"

...

The soldiers shouted excitedly.

"It is precisely because of your efforts that the Dionian League has been officially established! After the Senate's consultation and decision, today will be the festival of the whole alliance to celebrate the birth of the alliance! And your military flag will also become the banner of the alliance, flying over the square!"

"The alliance is victorious! The alliance is victorious!!!..."

Listening to the cheers of the soldiers and the people, Davers believed that on National Day, the national flag will surely unify these people from all the Mediterranean city-states and all races under the alliance, and gradually subtly form a brand new race, adding heavy weights!

…………………………………………………………

In the afternoon, Davers held a banquet at Turiyi's residence to entertain Timason, Zantiparis, Criano and Thormede, and Aggarcia, Philicius and Hironimus were accompanied by the banquet.

Eating novel and delicious food, drinking fragrant wine, recalling the scene of fighting together in the past, the atmosphere of the banquet was quite warm.

At this time, Criano burped and asked, "Davers, look at your beautiful courtyard, and you are the consul and the commander of the legion. It's really enviable...uh...when will we be like you?!"

The main topic is here! Agarcia immediately lifted up.

Davers smiled and said seriously: "As long as you work hard to make your contribution to the alliance, become citizens of the alliance, share the land, and obtain a life like me, it is not a problem at all! In fact, there are more people in the alliance who are richer than me..."

"Contribution? What kind of contribution?! I heard that it takes five years to become a formal citizen of your alliance, let alone become a senator in the Senate, which is even more difficult!" Criano complained.

"Yes, the law of the Union stipulates this way. All Gentiles and free peoples are implemented according to this, without exception!" Davers said in a calm expression, but firm tone.

"But-" Criano pretended to be drunk, pointed at Aggarcia and said loudly, "Uh... Aggarcia didn't say that to us in Ephesus. He said, 'As long as we come to Great Greece, we will soon become citizens, get land, and even become senators of the Senate!' It was because of hearing his words that we came so far away. Now you tell me that it will take another five years to achieve all this. Isn't this a lie?! And I heard that those Lukari soldiers in the triumphal were slaves half a year ago, and were already formal citizens half a year later, and their leaders became senators of the Senate. Are we not even as good as indigenous people?!!"

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly solidified.

Agarcia clenched his fists angrily. In order to attract Timason and the others to come, he said some inducing words, but it was not as exaggerated as Kriano said. He wanted to refute, but in such a situation, the scene would undoubtedly become more stiff.

Agarcia was hesitating, and Philicius wanted to speak but stopped. Hironimus frowned and looked at Davers. On this side, Timason, Zantiparis, and Thormede seemed to have not heard it, and continued to eat food, but secretly raised his ears...

Davers still looked unchanged, and gave Aggarcia a comforting look and said slowly: "Criano, don't be anxious first, sit down and listen to me..."

Kriano got angry, but it seemed to hit the wet cotton cloth, which seemed to have no effect...

He sat down in disappointment.

"To be honest, why do some people take five years and some people only need half a year? It's all about interests!" Davers looked at these mercenary leaders and said seriously: "Because the Lukari people can help the alliance to pacify Niutum, and even help the alliance conquer more Lucanian territories, not to mention that they have made a lot of contributions to the alliance before. The avenue you came by was built by them, and the Crotone army was defeated by them. They also actively learned Greek, understood and abide by the laws of the alliance. For such a group of aliens who are willing to integrate into the alliance and can bring huge benefits to the alliance, the Senate should of course give them citizenship in advance, and the people have no objection, because they are very clear that the alliance gets much greater than what they pay!

Agarcia is right. Although you don’t have the advantage of indigenous people like the Lukari, you are good at fighting, and there will be no fewer wars in the alliance in the future. As long as you win many battles and let the Senate see your value, it will not be a problem to become citizens a few years in advance!”
