Chapter 160 In Crimea
At this moment, Dionysius swept away the gloom of the past and said loudly: "We are in need of a victory in the battle to rebuild the morale of the soldiers!"
"Sir." Fascipesas warned: "The Dionians have maritime advantages, and they may not be willing to fight with us!"
"Then they can't help!" Dionysius sneered.
………………………………………
When dusk fell, Dionian reinforcements arrived at the city of Crimesa.
Chief Executive Protesilous, and Chief of the Sixth Corps Olivers led the team out of the city to greet him.
"Your Majesty, you are finally here!" Protesilous had received a notice from the Senate a few days ago. Although he was surprised, he had no big objection to the news that "Daves became the King of Dionys". On the contrary, he felt relieved when he saw Davers now.
"Mr. Protesilus, during this war, among all the cities of Dionia, you are under the greatest pressure, but you have done a good job! Under the pressure of the army of Syracuse, you have stabilized the city of Crimesa. On behalf of the Senate, I thank you for your efforts during this period!" Davers said sincerely. Although Protesilus's lack of strict governance of Crimesa in the intelligence of Alistiras, it led to his political turmoil. If it were not for Oliver
The timely arrival of Srime would probably be worse for Crimesa, but after realizing his mistakes, he was able to do good and assist the Sixth Corps in supervising the whole city. He was busy arranging food and accommodation for a large number of people who fled into the city, and promptly dealing with various matters, greatly alleviating the conflict between the people who fled from the villages outside the city and the residents in the city, and ensuring stability in the city. Therefore, Davers's words were not clichés, but praise from the heart.
"Thanks to the full help of Captain Olivers!" Protesilous looked at Olivers next to him with modest help.
"Yes, your Majesty, our Sixth Legion has all become patrol members for the sake of Crimesa's safety!" Olivers said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"It seems that your patrol captain is not in vain." Davers teased: "How about you wait until the war is over and you will be the patrol captain of a certain city?"
"Your Majesty, it seems that you have never cared about me in the past few years. I have not been a patrol captain for several years!" Olivers said in accusation: "I am now the deputy of the military officer in the Ministry of Military Affairs. According to regulations, after the war is over, I should take up a higher position, such as an intermediate inspector."
"What intermediate public office do you hold? It requires inspection and recommendation from the Senate's Union Public Office Management Committee." Davers's seemingly casual words made Protesilous heart move: It seems that even if Davers becomes king, he will still let the Senate execute its power as before.
"I personally think that the OCTOBER is not suitable for you. You can consider the position of intermediate judge." Davers's next words were obviously joking, so as soon as he finished speaking, Olivers shook his head hard: "I can't remember even if I beat the alliance law to death, but the patrol captain is suitable for me."
Davers laughed, and everyone laughed.
Amid the laughter, Davers turned his head and asked Protesilous: "What's the difficulty of Crimesa now?"
"Mainly it is food, and accommodation." Protesilus blurted out: "There are not much grain storage in the city, and the people outside the city brought not much food when they fled into the city. Some of them were too hasty and even brought some food. In addition, there were so many soldiers of the Sixth Army... If you did not lead the army today, I would have discussed with Olivers tomorrow and asked him to send soldiers to the Senate and request urgent food aid to Crimesa!"
"The city is indeed very tight now!" Olivers interrupted: "Master Protesilous even tried hard to convince the residents in the city and took out the stored grain to share with the people who fled into the city. However... a few people expressed strong dissatisfaction with this."
Davers looked at them, then looked around the other public officials in Crimesa, and said with a serious expression: "Our war with Syracuse determines the life and death of the alliance. At such a critical period, all the alliance people should unite and unite to defeat Syracuse and win a better future for the alliance! Therefore, as long as anyone destabilizes the alliance and hinders the preparations for war at this time, they are not the Dionys, but the enemy of Dionys! The Senate and the subordinate city halls have the right to impose aggravate punishments or even the death penalty in accordance with the Wartime Act! Don't have any concerns, and boldly manage the city!"
After hearing this, Oliverus blinked at Protesilous, which meant: I'm right.
Davers' serious words revealed murderous intent, which made Protesilous feel agitation. He and his men said one after another: "We understand."
"Do you have to worry about food." Davers comforted again: "In the past few days, a large amount of food will be continuously transported from the port of Turiyi, and the army will also go to the Croton Plain tomorrow. There will be no more enemy cavalry here. You can arrange for the people who hide in the city to return home one after another, rebuild their homes, cook the destroyed farmland, and prepare for the spring sowing next year... These things, Lord Protesilous, you must arrange them."
"Don't worry, your majesty." Protesilous breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Davers' words and immediately made a promise.
"Your Majesty, are our Sixth Legion going to the Croton Plain together?" Olivers asked hurriedly.
Davers smiled, "Aren't you going to continue as a patrol captain in Crimesa?"
"Our Sixth Army is going to settle the scores with the Syracuse mercenaries and avenge the dead Crimesa people and the brothers who died in battle!" Olivers said in a deep voice. After the Sixth Army entered Crimesa, he did not send troops to try to expel the enemy cavalry raging in the Croton Plain. However, the soldiers of the Sixth Army who lacked experience had no choice but to use the Mercedes-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-Benz-
Davers felt the flames shot out from his eyes, nodded seriously and said, "You will get what you want!"
Accompanied by the sound of military music, the long-distance marching column was almost at the front of the city gate. Davers stopped talking and entered the city with Protesilous and others, with the guards following behind him.
"Although there are a lot of food shipped this time, there are also many places to allocate, and the number of people is huge, so the amount of food allocated to Crimesa City will not be too much. You must control the food quota allocated to each household. While being fair, try to maintain it as long as possible so that the next food shipment can be reached." Davers said quietly to Protesilous beside him as he walked.
Protesilous felt nervous: It seemed that the entire food situation in Dionia was not as optimistic as Davers had just said to everyone.
So he nodded cautiously: "I understand."
"Can the city of Crimesa accommodate more than 30,000 people?" Davers asked again.
"After receiving the advance notice, we have made some preparations. The temple of Hades and the open space in front of the Apollo Temple are all left out. The square occupied by the Sixth Legion can be squeezed out. In addition, we have discussed with some people with large residential areas that some team officials and soldiers can be allowed to stay in. After all, the army only stays for one night, and Crimesa City can do its best to allow all the soldiers to stay."
After introducing the arrangements they made, Protesilous hesitated for a moment and said seriously: "Your Majesty, there is one thing I want to report to you."
"you say."
"In recent years, since the swamp area near the Lacoeli River has been gradually transformed into a plain and merged into Crimesa, the population of Crimesa has increased rapidly. Now there are nearly 15,000 registered citizens and preparatory citizens in the Crimesa Household Registration Office, and more than 20,000 registered free people. Now most of them live outside the city to cultivate farmland and grazle cattle and sheep... Moreover, the land on this plain has not been allocated, and more people may pour into Crimesa in the future. With so many people, there are fertile lands in the Croton Plain, agriculture will surely prosper in the future. Crimesa has a port, and trade will also prosper. At that time, people living outside the city may hope to live in the city, but the area of the Crimesa city is too small and a new city must be expanded outward..."
"Your consideration is long-term, and I personally agree. You can write a proposal and hand it over to the Senate for review and approval before allocating the city construction fee, but this should be something that should be considered after repelling Syracuse and ending this war." Davers said with relief. Turiyi was going to expand, and Crimesa was going to expand... Even he was surprised that the development of the Dionian League was so fast.
"Your Majesty, it depends on you to fight back these damn invaders and restore peace and tranquility to Dionia!" Protesilous said sincerely.
Davers smiled slightly, and when he passed through the city gate and entered the block, his face suddenly changed.
In his vision: the streets were filled with simple tents, and the roads were all lying, sitting, and lying with disheveled hair and disheveled faces. There were middle-aged men, elderly people, women, and children. They squeezed the spacious streets into small paths that only one or two people passed.
