"Uh...... It will definitely be very popular! Andrea was embarrassed to cover her mouth with her hand, and after swallowing the delicious mutton, she praised it sincerely, and at the same time she also put forward her own opinion: "However, the production of this food requires people to constantly add firewood to it, and it is more troublesome to heat it over the fire." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Andrea, you're right. Therefore, to eat such a table of hot beef and mutton, you need to have special personnel to serve on the side, and our fees will be more expensive. And it's not just scalding beef and mutton, it's also about other things. Christoya explained as she gestured to the slave standing aside.

The slaves immediately brought up the cut tripe, the blood vessels of the sheep, the sea vegetables, etc., and after everyone had tasted them, they also thought that they tasted good.

At this time, Davers said to Vesbah and Bagul, "You see, after slaughtering a sheep, the fur can be used to make clothes to keep out the cold, the bones can be boiled into soup, the meat can be eaten, the intestines can be used for sausages and other purposes, and other internal organs can be made into delicious ...... Cattle and sheep can be sold for almost all their bodies, and with our full promotion, the Greeks will gradually like to eat beef and mutton (the Greeks and Romans are the main food of grain), and the Lucanians are the best at grazing, and Lucania's cattle and sheep are famous throughout Greater Greece. In the future, Lucaña's livestock will be welcomed by the citizens of the Tua Union, and the Lucalian people will have a better life......"

Veesba and Bagul did not expect that Davers would extend to the lives of the Lucanians through this meal, and they were both surprised and moved by the fact that a Greek city-state consul would consider how to make the lives of the Lucanians better, and they did not know what to say for a while.

At this time, Davers raised his glass: "Come, let's keep drinking!" ”

……………………

Eating new and delicious dishes, drinking new beer, and two beautiful women adjusting the atmosphere, for Vesbar, this banquet was naturally very pleasant.

When they were full, there were three men left in the living room.

With the help of wine, Wesbah asked directly, "Lord Archon, what did you mean when you said that I could still be the leader of the tribe?" ”

"When you have completed your labor and become a citizen of the Tua Union, I will invite you to become a member of the Senate and make suggestions for the Lukarians living in the Tua Union and defend their interests, isn't this equivalent to the head of the clan?!" Davers explained.

Veesba was a little moved after hearing this, and after nearly half a year as a prisoner in Amendolara, he understood that Davers really wanted to keep the Lucanians, otherwise he would not have tried to reduce the period of labor for the Lucanians. Most of the young people of the tribe also wanted to become citizens of the Tua Union and enjoy a prosperous life that they could not dream of in the mountains, but as the leader of the tribe, he had some concerns, and now Davers gave him a promise.

So Wesbah continued to speak with the strength of wine, and there was no restraint: "If you want my people to become your citizens, according to your rules, I am afraid it will be four or five years later, which is too long!" Wesba said with some dissatisfaction, after all, he is not young, and a year is a year.

"It is true that according to the Tuafa Union Immigration Act, it does take four or five years for you to complete your hard service, apply for probationary citizenship, and then become a full citizen. But now there is a special task, if your clan is able to participate, then when the matter is completed, I will apply to the Senate to convert all the men of your clan into full citizens of Turiyi. Not only can you become a senator, but even Bagul, I would like to recommend him as a member of the Senate! Davers spoke amazingly.

When Bagul heard this, his expression became agitated.

Of course, Veesbah was also excited, but after all, he was much more experienced than Bagul, and the fact that Davers was able to give them such favorable conditions showed that this mission was not simple: "What is it?" He asked, slightly cautiously.

Davers looked at the two of them and said word by word: "The leader of Avinokis of Laos has formed an alliance with the Tua alliance and is ready to help us retake Niutum. ”

As soon as these words came out, both of them were shocked, and then fell silent: the Tua Alliance is preparing to declare war on the Lucanians! Let Wesbah and Bagul help the Tua League fight the Greeks, and that's no problem. But it would be emotionally unacceptable for them to take on people of the same race, although the tribes of Lucania often fought with each other, and it was not uncommon for the tribes of Lucania to be slaughtered and exterminated.

Seeing that they were only silent and did not object, Davers could guess what they were worried about, so he further said: "In the future, the Lucanians under the Tua League will be the same as the Greeks, not only will they enjoy the rights and duties of the Union citizens, but you will continue to maintain your own cultural traditions and customs, and the League will not interfere with them, but will protect them!" ”

When Veesbah heard this, he was touched and hurriedly asked, "The gods we revere can also continue to worship?!" ”

"Not only can you continue to worship, but you can also build altars and temples for your gods. I've heard. You Lucanians have an important holiday, what is it called...... Well...... Cow's Day? ”

"Bullfighting (a celebration of two bulls fighting each other, used to celebrate and bless the prosperity of livestock)." Bagul chimed in.

"After joining the Tua Alliance, it can be held again! To make it even bigger, let's Greeks too! Davers said with interest.

"Your Excellency, is what you said true?" Veesbah was moved.

"I can swear to Hades!" Davers spread his hands flat, palms to the sky, and said with a solemn expression.

Veesbah and Bagul were finally impressed by Davers's mind, since the culture, customs, and religion of the Lucanians were not changed, then it was equivalent to the great leader who ruled the Lucanian tribe was replaced by the Tua League Senate and Davers, and if Lucania could be unified, it would also reduce strife and killing, and give peace to the Lucanians!

Finding a fair case for his compromise, he immediately expressed his willingness to join the Tua coalition forces and participate in the military campaign to capture Niutum.

………………………

The next day, the Tuafan Union again convened an emergency meeting of the Senate.

As the Senate Chamber in Turii had not yet been repaired, the meeting was held in Amendorara in the same place as the previous one. So, early in the morning, Soricos and the other coachmen pulled these noble senators to the city of Amendolara.

There were two issues on the agenda of this meeting: first, Assistes brought back the Covenant signed by Avinokis himself, and the war against Lucania was about to begin, which excited all the parliamentarians; The other issue is mainly for the Vesbah clan to become citizens of the Tuafa Union.

Although there have been many foreigners who have become citizens or probationary citizens under the Immigration Act, the most typical example being Marigi, who was sitting in the hall, it is difficult for many patriarchs (especially the Turi) to become Tuafa citizens of such a large number of Lucanians, who have caused great harm to both Turii and Amendolara, to become Tuafa citizens.

Many people objected, among which Polyxis's words were the most unpleasant, and he protested loudly: "Your Excellency is seriously hurting the feelings of our Amendolars and Turiyi, and is trying to turn the civilized city of the Greeks into a barbaric and dirty fortress of the Lucanians, so that the people who have just survived the Lucanian War will become their slaves again!" ”

Even Scombras and Strompori, who had begun to accept and support Davers, joined the opposition.

Antonios, Capus, Alexis and others stood up and supported Davers's decision, arguing that the Lucanians loved life as much as the Greeks, were civilized and courteous, and had built the Great Road to help the Tua League defeat the Crotonens, and they genuinely wanted to serve the League!

Polyxis immediately retorted: "This is nothing more than an expedient measure by the cunning Lucarians who want to be free. In short, you outsiders can't understand our pain at all! ”

Polyxis's words infuriated the elders of the former mercenaries, and the argument in the meeting became fierce, even to the point of invective against each other.

The rotating chairman, Rafias, rang the brass bell several times to stop the quarrel, but still no one paid attention.

Davers had to stand up and shout, "Please be quiet! Otherwise, please get out! ”

The room was soon quiet again, and Polyxis was about to say something, but he saw Davers's sharp eyes stabbing straight at him like knives, and he immediately lowered his head in fright.

Davers looked around at everyone and said loudly: "Since you all think that forming an alliance with Avinokis and capturing Niutum will be of great benefit to stabilizing the west side of the alliance and preventing Lucania's invasion, then let's put aside other reasons such as emotions for a while, and seriously consider this issue, after seizing Niutum, how will we govern?" ”

Davers paused, and without waiting for the others to answer, continued: "According to your opinion, if we want to stabilize Niutum, we can only kill all the Lucanians in the city, or turn them all into slaves, move them to Turiyi, and then emigrate our people there, right?" ”

This was a traditional practice in the days of the Great Colonization of the Greeks, and the patriarchs who had opposed it had little objection.

"First of all, Niutum is a mountain city, and it is located in a mountainous area, there is not much arable land, so it can only rely on grazing, so that the Greeks who love the sea can migrate to a mountain town surrounded by mountains and the land is not abundant, I can't be sure how many people are willing to go, I believe you can give me an accurate answer."

Wise senators such as Kunograta and Cornerus stood by and watched, and the others did not stand up to answer.
