Just after seeing off the Crotones and welcoming Dionia's army, the people of Crimesa were obviously a little numb about this very eye-catching team entering the city.

However, after reaching the square along the street, the soldiers immediately disbanded. Under the leadership of the team officials, the soldiers used the tools brought from the cart to carefully clean the streets full of garbage, leveled the damaged roads, and even helped the people repair their houses... and worked hard to clean up the vast city after the war.

The people of Crimesa were first surprised, and then slowly tried to talk to these "conquerors". Finally, they were infected by the soldiers' enthusiasm for labor and joined the ranks of reorganizing their homes with guilt. The women brought food and drinking water to express their condolences to the soldiers, and told them about the difficulties in their homes, hoping to get their help. The soldiers were of course happy to contribute their physical strength and enthusiasm.

One afternoon, Crimesa, a city that had experienced war and was a bit deadened, became vibrant.

When the members of the former Crimesa Council saw this scene, they all looked surprised, whispered and talked non-stop.

As the former chief general of Crimesa, Anta Oris believed that he was traveling around the world and was knowledgeable. He had never seen or heard that after conquering another city-state, the militia of a city-state would help the conquered people restore their homes after the war! Like others, his surprise and excitement made him wonder what to say: "Mr. Davers, this... is really..."

"From today, the Crimesa people are citizens of the Dionian League. We are all one family! We are both family members, of course we have to help each other, right?" Davers said with a smile.

Looking at the shocked expressions of the people around him, he was very satisfied with the results of this operation. Before coming, he did issue an order to make the soldiers take on "cleaners", but orders alone cannot make the soldiers willing to work. He also told them: Because of the victory of the war, based on the heroic performance of the soldiers, the citizen inspection period of the free people who participated in the battle many times will be greatly shortened, and it is even possible that some soldiers who performed well on the battlefield will become official citizens directly! And in this victory of the war, Dionia will obtain a lot of land.

In the land, all soldiers participating in the war will receive the reward of "land" for their military achievements, and the land they will be divided into in the future will be mainly near Crimea. Therefore, Crimesa will become a new home for some soldiers. Moreover, Crimesa has killed and injured a large number of male citizens due to frequent wars within half a year. Now there are more women and fewer men. Davers encourages single soldiers to win the favor of Crimesa women with actions! It is precisely these reasons that make the soldiers do not have the arrogance of the winners, but use practical actions to win the favor of the Crimesa people - their neighbors in the future.

"And you—" Davers continued: "The treasury, the granary... was well protected, and was not robbed by the defeated soldiers of Crotone. It was handed over to the alliance intact. Isn't it because you recognized the Dionysian League and regarded yourself as a citizen of Dionysians, so you thought so attentively! I believe that the Dionysian Senate will definitely recognize your efforts!"

Everyone thought they had received Davers' hint and looked happy.

Davers also smiled, but he knew very well in his heart: although the number of members of the Dionysian Senate was still very early to full, this time the Senate would definitely be cautious and sent people to investigate secretly. Who are the prestigious and appealing people among the Crimean people? Among these people, only those who are truly willing to become citizens of Dionys and who are serious about work will be specially recruited into the Senate. Any voting election is a pretext. As a territory that has just been incorporated into the alliance, he and the Senate must certainly control Crimesa to prevent accidents.

"Sir Davers, please follow me to the port and count the batch of supplies we cut from Crotone." What is rare is that the former chief general of Crimesa can still remain calm.

This made Davers look at Anta Oris with some appreciation and said, "Okay!"

After inspecting the city of Crimesa, Davers immediately ordered that a portion of the food and supplies they received were distributed to the people of Crimesa to compensate them for the losses they suffered from the war.

This generous move won the favor of the people. At the same time, he ordered Cappus to lead 2,000 soldiers of the First Legion to station in the city, maintain and stabilize order in the city, and on the other hand, continue to help the people repair damaged facilities. The remaining troops continued to station in camps outside the city, began to fill traps, pull out iron spikes, etc., to restore the environment around the camp back to normal. Davers tactfully declined Anta Oris and their request to invite him to the banquet, and led the cavalry of Rides, accompanied by Hironimes, to Asprestum.

The horse galloped in the slightly undulating terrain. The vast Croton Plain, which caught your eye either farmland or villages or crisscrossing canals. Although human activities were not seen, some villages were even emitting thick smoke. Except for the occasional frustrated hunting dogs who cast hatred eyes at them and barking constantly, everything was extremely quiet. This did not affect the good interest of Davers and his group of people. They walked with great interest and looked at the newly acquired land of Dionys.

Ryders said excitedly: "Although the terrain is not as flat as the Sobari Plain, it feels no less fertile than the Sobari Plain!"

"It seems you want to change all your land here." Davers said jokingly.

"Sir, I don't plan that way. Next to me is Crotone, and I feel a little uncomfortable in everything I do." Rides shook his head and said.

"You are still picky about such a fertile land. It's really a rich man who doesn't know the pain of the poor." Davers continued to joke with him.

The cavalry also took the opportunity to make the captain's joke.

At this time, Hironimus beside him said, "No matter how good the land is, it still cannot be saved without strong power."

Davers was stunned and said with the flow: "Yes, we cannot learn from Crotone. We must continue to strengthen our training and defend our homeland! Especially your cavalry team, this time, they have made great contributions, but they cannot be proud. They will continue to improve their riding skills and learn new cavalry tactics with your captain. I hope you can become an important attack force in the army of Dionia and determine the outcome of the battle! Do you have this confidence?"

"Yes!!!" the cavalry raised their spears and shouted excitedly.

…………………………………

Standing on the head of Asprestum, you can look west at the endless mountains and snow; look east at the rushing rapids, cliffs, and the green fertile fields of the Croton Plain. When the weather is excellent, you can even look southeast to vaguely see the bustling traffic outside the inner city of Croton...

"This is such a good place! The Crotones will actually hand it over to us!" Davers said sighingly, stroking the thick battlements.

"Of course it's not that the Crotones want to give it, but that they can't take it back at all!" Bagule said confidently: "The terrain of Asprestum City is very good, and the city is high and the ditch is deep. I only need two thousand people to block the attack of 20,000 enemies!"

Davers, who had checked the city defense in detail, nodded and agreed.

"Izam's mountain reconnaissance team has helped me!" Hironimus's words reminded Davers. He found the young Dukes from the accompanying team: "Izam, your company has made great contributions this time. At least every soldier who participated in the capture of the city must remember great contributions at least once!"

"I thank the Commander for your brothers!" Yizam said with an excited look on his face, "Sir, my reconnaissance team can play a greater role as long as you can expand the reconnaissance team to one thousand people!"

Hironimus and Yassites looked at each other, and the Dukeian made such a direct request.

Davers didn't care. He smiled and said, "The function of the mountain reconnaissance team is to reconnaissance, disturb the enemy, and destroy it, not to fight head-on with the enemy. It requires so many people, which is not convenient for you to command, and is easily discovered by the enemy..." Davers did not refuse, but thought about it seriously and said, "It is not impossible to expand. I want to first look at you to develop an expansion and training plan, how many people you add, how to marshal and train the expanded mountain reconnaissance team, so that this new team can adapt faster and enhance its special role in wartime... If your plan is feasible, I can discuss with Philicius to expand the mountain reconnaissance team and appoint you as the captain."

"That's great, thank you sir!" Yizam shouted happily without hiding.

"So I want to be the captain, I'll say it earlier!" Ascesters took the opportunity to tease.

"You have all become captains, of course I can't fall behind," Izam said with confidence.

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Have all the original residents in the city left?" Davers asked, looking down at the city.

"The Crotones came to the city, read the newly signed covenant to the people here, and mobilized them to leave. They cried and made a fuss, but they all left, and they were not left, and we allowed them to take away the belongings from their homes, but they wanted to take away the public property, but we refused. That was our spoil!" said Asistes.

"It's good that the residents of Asprestum have been exposed, so that we can immigrate and keep the city firmly in the hands of the alliance!" Davers reminded at the same time: "You must take a clear look at the property in Asprestum as soon as possible and make a list so that they can be distributed to Laus and Castron each."
