When Achita walked into the Expeditionary Army camp, cheers kept coming from every tent passed by, and excitement and happiness filled the air. Even the heavy-hearted person was infected. He couldn't help but sigh: This mercenary unit is worthy of being a powerful force that has experienced many battles and has caused headaches for the great Persia! During the day, he saw with his own eyes how these mercenaries used novel tactics and fierce offensives to attack the Lucanians. After experiencing the failure of the battle, it would be even more valuable to maintain such a high morale!

Achita's mood to see Davers immediately became stronger.

As soon as he arrived outside the tent, the young man who had a good impression of him came out to greet him. The words he said were: "General Achita, we are preparing to attack the Lucanian tribal coalition tomorrow, hoping to get help from Tarantum reinforcements!"

Achita couldn't believe his ears: "...You mean to attack the Lucanian tribe coalition?"

"Yes!"

"Is it the Lukari tribe coalition of up to 15,000 people in the west, not the Lukari in the city of Amendolar?" Achita asked again uncertainly.

"That's right, it's the Lucanian tribe coalition in the west!" Davers nodded heavily

After receiving a positive answer, Acheta stared at Davers for a while, barely suppressed his excitement and said, "...what are you going to do?"

"Come on, let's get in." Davers hurriedly led Acheta into the account, came to the map, and told him in detail...

Acheta held his jaw with his hands and pondered for a long time before he slowly said: "I have to say that this is a very bold plan. He almost used his troops to the extreme, and it also has certain feasibility. It is very tempting to me..."

"So, are Tarantum reinforcements going to join?" Davers asked.

Achita was silent, and Davers was not in a hurry. After a while, Achita saw that Davers was still calm and could not help but say, "It seems that you believe I will agree."

"I heard that Heraclia is an ally of Tarantum. If we win tomorrow, Tarantum will no longer have to worry about the problem in the west and can fight the Mesapi people with all their might." Davers said slowly. In fact, he was quite polite. Heraclia is not just an ally of Tarantum. Heraclia is actually an affiliated person controlled by Tarantum. Twenty years ago, its power figure was either a Tarantum immigrant or a direct delegation from Tarantum.

However, it is no longer almost a sub-state of Tarantum as before, but Tarantum's influence on Heraclia is still strong, and he regards it as a barrier to his west. If everyone in Lukani occupied the Subari Plain and Amendolar adjacent to Heraclia, then the threat to Heraclia would be too great, and it might even threaten Metapontum further north. This is also an important reason why Tarantum sent reinforcements at the time.

Achita finally nodded: "The Tarantums are very happy to fight alongside the Greek warriors who were expeditioning to Persia!"

"That's great! It's because of the Tarantum reinforcements led by Acheta that I dared to propose this plan, because you have strong combat power!" Davers said sincerely.

After the two discussed the details, Achita suddenly said, "Davers, I have a suggestion I hope you consider it."

"Please tell me." Davers was stunned when he saw his serious expression.

"No matter whether the next battle is victory or failure, I sincerely invite you to become a citizen of Tarantum! And I will recommend it to the Senate with all my might. I hope you will take up an important administrative position!" Achita made a solemn promise.

Davers didn't expect Acheta to make such a request, which caught him off guard: "...well...well, I heard that it would be difficult for aliens to become citizens of a big city-state."

"Yes." Achita nodded frankly, but he immediately changed his mind: "However, people like you with extraordinary talents will be warmly invited in any city-state in Greece! After all, this is not Athens, it is a colonial city. The key is that they must have the vision to discover talents!" Achita pointed to his eyes complacently.

"I'm the only one, not including my brothers?" Davers thought of a reason to refuse.

"It is not something that the consuls or the Senate can decide if so many people join Tarantum. It is difficult to convene a collective vote in the citizen assembly." Achita said embarrassedly.

"Thank you for your invitation. After tomorrow's battle, I will seriously consider this issue." Davers said pretending to be serious.

…………………………

For Davers' invitation, Adrianx, Sesta, and even Dracos came.

Davers told them about their plans, and the three of them were shocked.

Since in today's battle, they did not suffer minor losses like the Tarantum reinforcements and the Davers mercenaries, with four hundred casualties, especially the mercenaries of Dracos, the most casualties were the worst. For only two thousand people, they could be said to be injured. If they agreed to Davers' request, the casualties would probably be greater. Therefore, Adrianx and Sesta were a little hesitant.

"Captain Davers, I am willing to participate in tomorrow's battle!" Dracos, who had been depressed, suddenly said, shocking the other two.

"The Lucanians are nothing to be afraid of, but the Turiyi has dragged me down today. I believe that fighting with you tomorrow will definitely make them taste the failure!" Dracos said unwillingly.

Davers did not expect that the first thing he agreed would be Dracos, who had fought with him, which made him admire the fighting desire and resilience of the big leader. Seeing that the other two were still hesitating, he immediately said: "The attack on the Lucanian tribe coalition was not for the poor salary of Turiyan, but for the purpose of defeating them, we must regain Amendolar and become the master there!"

Davers's words shocked the three of them again.

"Are you sure of capturing the city of Amendorala?" Sesta asked in surprise.

"We have attacked many hamlets in Persia, and a small mountain city is really not a problem!" Davers said confidently: "At that time, we will invite you to become citizens of Amendorara, obtain the land there, and lay the foundation in the wealthy Great Greece! Of course, if you just want to return to Ionia, where wars and poverty are frequent, just pretend I did not say it."

"What you... are you talking about?!...really let us get land?!" Adrianx asked stutter.

"Of course, this is a common decision for all of us!" Davers said seriously.

"But...but..." Adrianx calmed down his excitement slightly and asked, "Will Turiyi and Tarantum object?"

"Turiy suffered a heavy blow, and it was not capable of opposing it." Davers smiled contemptuously: "As for Tarantum, perhaps they would be happy that we did this, because we have the ability to defend Amendorara and keep Tarantum's western border from the mountain tribe."

The three of them looked at each other and said in unison: "We are willing to join you!"

"Great!" Davers said happily: "Now we are a family! Let's fight together for our own future!"

After discussing the details of the plan, Davers reminded them to keep the secrets and not let the Tarantum people know for the time being.

After seeing off the three people, Davers prepared to ask several free people who were going back to Turiy to come back, and asked Burkos to come to the camp quickly and discuss something urgently. Unexpectedly, the guards came in and reported: "Burkos is already asking for a meeting outside the camp gate."

Davers was surprised and immediately thought of the urgent needs of Turiyi's town hall and council at this moment.

Sure enough, as soon as Bulcos entered the tent, he couldn't wait to ask: "Captain Davers, are you still ready to continue to implement the original agreement?"
Chapter completed!
