Giorgris was considered a rich man in Amendolar (actually his wife) and owned ten acres of mountainous land in Amendolar. They all planted olive trees over ten years old. They also had their own oil pressing workshop to make olive oil. Originally, there was only a simple carriage at home, mainly used to transport finished olive oil to Turiy Port. Since Dania and Giorgris got married, considering that Giorgris frequently traveled to Turiy and Amendolar to conduct military training and handle some military affairs, in order to support her husband's storefront, he specially bought a passenger carriage for her husband to ride. In fact, Giorgris rode more horses.

Although there were not many pedestrians on the avenue at this time, all the carriages set out in sequence. It has been almost a year since Amendorala-Turi Avenue was built. In use, for safety and convenience, some conventional rules have been formed under the guidance of the alliance.

Now that the Alliance's Roads Bureau has been established, Heraclyde Jr. was successfully elected as the head of the department. According to reports, he was ready to start two things immediately: one was to submit a "Dion for the Maintenance and Use of the Dionys Roads" to the Senate, which was to convert these civil road rules into formal road rules commonly used by the Alliance to improve the efficiency of road use; the other was to propose a new avenue design plan and a plan to renovate the old avenue to the consul Davers.

The coachman drove the two horses to run at a constant speed, and the wooden wheels tightly swung with iron sheets quickly "clang clanging" on the flat road.

Giogris was listening to his wife's nagging in the bumpy carriage while thinking about some of the things he heard about the newly built road department.

"I'm going to buy four more slaves tomorrow." His wife's words caught his attention.

"Aren't our family's slaves enough?" Giorgris said in confusion.

"You have newly assigned three acres of land in Crimesa. I haven't visited it yet. I heard that they are all good land. According to the regulations of the Union's Ministry of Agriculture, they can only be used for growing wheat. You are busy with the alliance's military affairs, so you have no time to go to Crimesa to work. Of course, I have to buy more slaves to take care of the farmland for us for many years." Dania explained.

"It's only three acres of land, so you don't need so many slaves. Just supporting them will cost a lot of money." Giogris was used to being poor and maintained the good habit of being thrifty.

"Dear, you don't know that the ordinary citizen families in Dionia now have at least two or three slaves. Everyone understands that only by freeing up time and conducting military training can the adult men in the family make contributions, gain honors, and win more land and discounts in the war. The slave market, which was built at the Turiyi Port half a year ago, has now expanded several times. The price of ordinary slaves has increased from the original 160 drachmas to two hundred drachmas. I won't buy more now. By the time I want to buy it in the future, I'm afraid the price has risen to 300."

"The extra slaves can be told to go to Crimesa to speed up the plowing of our farmland, dig ditches, and plant wheat seedlings. When the farm work there is over, we can also divide a few people back to the oil pressing workshop in Amendorara to assist in transporting pots and taking care of our olive oil shop at the port... When it comes to the busiest autumn, more labor is needed to complete the harvest of wheat, make olive fruits, squeeze oil, and grind flour... When the farm work is over, our slaves are enough and we don't need to hire labor temporarily, that is, waste money, and the efficiency is not high..." Dania explained to Giogris in detail.

Giogris didn't know much about this, but he trusted his wife's ability, so he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, just do what you said."

Dania snuggled happily in Giogris' arms.

The carriage stopped in front of the south gate of Turiyi City. According to regulations, the carriage could not enter the city, so the Giogris and his wife could only get off the car and walk, with a slave behind him carrying his weapons and equipment to follow him.

Along the way, you can see many citizens with wives, and even the elderly and children come to see you off.

Since Davers took the lead (he often brought Cristoya to public appearances), and the integration of a large number of Lucanians, the tradition of the wives of Greek city-state citizens who had to stay at home and fewer appearances in Dionia has been followed.

"Giogris! Giogris!"

Giogris heard someone calling him, and hurriedly looked back and it was Olivers.

He rushed over with his Persian wife Mitra.

After the four of them greeted each other, Olivers said excitedly: "I heard that you are back to the First Legion this time!"

"Because Captain Hilos became the chief executive of Asprostum, I just came to take his flaw for the time being." Giorgris still maintained his old habit of being in Persia and called Captain Hilos.

"What a temporary moment! Davers will definitely keep you in the First Legion forever!" Oliverus curled his lips and smiled mysteriously.

"Why?" Giogris asked in confusion.

"Because it is easier to serve as the captain of other legions as the captain of other legions." Olivers came over and whispered: "I heard that Davers proposed a bill to the Senate yesterday, which has been passed. 'In the future, anyone who has performed outstandingly for five years as the commander of the Legion can become a member of the Senate by the elected elders!"

Before Giogris could speak, Dania, who was pricking up her ears and listening, was already excited and said: "So my husband will become a senator in the future!"

Olivers looked at her and smiled and said, "Yes, but after me, becoming a senator in the Senate is not just about knowing wars, but also requires administrative management skills. Just like me, not only will he be the patrol captain of Turiyi, but he also hired a private teacher to teach me how to recognize words, calculate and speak. Next year I will also strive to be a secondary agricultural officer and business officer..."

Dania looked at her silent husband and made a secret decision: In the future, she should also urge him to strengthen his studies, engage in more local affairs, and not always train new recruits in the Military Affairs Department... etc.

Olivers looked over again, and he found it very interesting: it was very appropriate for the honest Giogris to marry a smart-looking wife.

He looked at Dania carefully, and suddenly looked strange: "Are you pregnant?"

Dania proudly stroked her lower abdomen: "It's been five months!"

"My wife is pregnant too!" Olivers announced with equal pride, and Mitra lowered her head shyly.

"The only comrades in our team, now the captain Hilos and Matonis are left, right?" Giogris said suddenly.

"You, the news is so blocked! Kunogorata fell in love with Hilos, wanted him to be his son-in-law, and wanted Davers to be a matchmaker. Davers had agreed. With Davers coming forward, could Hilos not agree! As for Matonis, didn't you notice that his performance was a bit strange when we left Crimesa?" Oliverus smiled with a hint: "I asked his subordinates to go to his brigade to inquire. It turned out that this big guy was fascinated by a girl in Crimesa City...hahaha!"

"Really?!" Giogris looked surprised.

"Of course it's true! But don't ask him, be careful that he beats you and implicates me." Olivers reminded.

Dionya sent troops according to the alliance, not only wanted to defeat Locre as soon as possible, but also a chance to show the alliance's military power in the southern Italian city-state to increase its influence in this area. Therefore, Dionya not only sent the most elite First Legion, but also all companies in the First Legion who were short of injury can draw experienced soldiers from other legions to supplement them. The personnel responsible for transporting the baggage were composed of more than a thousand mercenaries led by Zantiparis. This not only ensures the safety of the baggage, but also a strong supplement to the combat troops. Of course, Davers and Philicius also have selfish intentions, hoping that these former comrades can make new contributions and become reserve citizens of Dionys as soon as possible.

The First Legion with more than 7,000 people, a 1,500-man baggage guard, a total of nearly 9,000 people, and a baggage truck composed of countless pack animals. A huge team passed through the inspection of Davers and the Senate in Victory Square and set out south in a mighty manner.

…………………………………………………………

Locre first heard of the Dionian League (not called this name at the time) was during the First Crotone Civil War, and the Crotone army was defeated and captured by the Amendolar army, which was much smaller than theirs.

The Locres were even more excited when they were surprised. They were happy to see an extra city-state in the north of Crotone that could cause trouble for Crotone. Based on the principle of "the enemy of the enemy is a friend", Locres sent envoys to contact Amendolara, hoping to establish an alliance with him and jointly deal with Crotone. As a result, the Amendolara did not make any statement, but instead signed a truce treaty with the Crotone and returned the captured kilogram soldiers to Crotone six months later. Moreover, during the negotiations, Locres even became the bargaining chip for the Amendolara to threaten Crotone and achieve the purpose of the truce, so the Locres began to resent Amendolara.

Half a year later, the Second Crotone Civil War broke out, and Crotone's army invaded the Dionysian Alliance again formed by the Amendoralans. Locre had angered and did not forget that their enemy was Crotone. He quickly sent an envoy to join forces with Dionys again. Due to various factors, the messenger Metlofinis failed to contact Davers in time. However, Crotone's army was defeated by the Trionto River in just a few days, and only a few thousand people were left to retreat to Crimesa to resist the counterattack.
