Davers urgently summoned Philicius, Capuz, Dracos, Hieronymus, Epitenis and other senior team officials to discuss the proposed alliance against Laos. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Later, he called for an urgent meeting of the Senate, and after discussion, Davers's proposal was approved.

That night, Arobumas was again brought to the Davers Mansion.

"How's the guest from Laos resting?" Davers said jokingly.

Arrobmas's gaze wandered, and when he saw a few more people around Davers, he asked with some eagerness, "Lord Archon, you have already made a decision?!" ”

"Yes, our Senate has decided to accept Laos as an ally of the Tua Alliance!" Davers said with a smile.

"Great!" Arrobmas couldn't hide his excitement. Before he came, he had listened to Avinogis carefully explain how to negotiate with the Greeks and the procedures for signing the alliance, such a major matter, the Greeks will definitely hold a conference, and there will be no results without two or three days of repeated discussions, so he will urge Davers before, but he did not expect that it only took half a day for the Tua alliance to make a decision, this new force is indeed a little different.

"It's just that I heard that Niutum sent seven or eight hundred soldiers to Laos, can you and your brother take Laos easily?" Davers asked with concern.

After the previous conversation, Arrobmas no longer wondered why Davers knew so much about Laos, and he said with great confidence: "We have no problem taking Laos, not only do we have more than a thousand warriors, but the slaves in the port are also the descendants of our Sebaris, and they are willing to obey our command!" We have lived in Laos for generations, and those newcomers Lucania don't even know how many lanes there are in Laos, so how can they be our opponents! It's just that after taking Laos, he will definitely be attacked by Niutum and even Grummentum, so I need your support! ”

"In other words, there is not much risk in the process of taking the city, and after taking Laos, it may lead to a crazy revenge from the Lucanians, right?" Davers asked patiently.

Arrobmas nodded involuntarily.

"Then I have a better way to get Laos without having to take the risk later!" Davers spoke with a sense of temptation.

"What's the solution?" Arobumas asked busily.

"Help us take Niutum first, and cut off the passage for the Lucalists to go south to rescue Laos. At that time, you will not even need to attack Laos, and the Lucanians in the city will have lost their support and will probably have to surrender. ”

What Davers said was indeed very reasonable, which made Arrobmas very moved, but he said worriedly: "Although Niutum is not a stone city, it is not easy to capture it, if we can't take it quickly, in case Grumentum comes to the rescue, our plan will be exposed......"

"We're not going to storm Niutum." Davers laughed.

Arrobmas was puzzled.

"How many fighters are there in Niutum?" Davers then asked.

"Originally, there were nearly six thousand warriors, but after you defeated them, there were more than two thousand left, and now another eight hundred have arrived in Laos, and there are only more than a thousand warriors in the city." Arrobmas replied truthfully.

"Can anyone else fight but these warriors?" Davers asked again.

"The others are old people, women, children, Niutum does not occupy a vast area, the land is barren, and it can't afford to support too many tribes, and the reason why there are so many warriors is because we Laos import a lot of food to it every year!" Arobumas remembered that Niutum had oppressed and exploited Laos for so many years, and hatred swelled up.

Davers smiled: "My request is very simple, I only need you to help us deceive the gates of Niutum, and we will take care of the rest." ”

………………………

Arobumas set out for Laos, accompanied by Asistes, the secretary of the Tua Consul, and Izzam, the leader of the Mountain Scouting Team, who carried the Covenant with them to sign a contract with Avinogis himself, confirming that the signatories were Avinogis himself, and then discussing the capture of Niutum and Laos.

At the same time, the senior officers of the Tua alliance began to secretly mobilize for war while debating how to attack the city map of Niutum left behind by Arrobmas. Although there were only more than 1,000 soldiers in the city of Niutum, as Arrobmas said, Davers decided to adopt the tactics of lion fighting rabbits for the sake of insurance, and in addition to the first brigade staying behind in the Tua Alliance, the second, third, and seventh brigades totaled 3,000 people, carrying five days of dry food, and preparing to attack Niutum.

In addition, Davers also prepared a banquet for two people.

"Chief Wesbah, please take a seat!"

"Your Excellency is too polite. I am no longer a tribal leader, but a captive of the Tua coalition. Wesbah said in a flat tone.

"That's just temporary, and when you become a citizen of the Tua Alliance, you'll still be the leader of the clan!" Davers said as if he were comforting him and as if he were making a promise.

Vesbah's heart moved.

Davers said to Bagul, who was a little restrained on the side, "Hehe, the most famous rugby runner in the barracks, building roads has made you stronger, isn't it, Andrea?" ”

Andrea, who was following Christoya, blushed and bowed her head without speaking.

"Lord Archon!" Bagul touched his head and smiled and stifled a sentence.

"Sit down! Sit down! After beckoning the guests to sit down, Davers said aloud: "There are no outsiders here today, but the chief of Weesbah and Bagul are all my old friends!" My wife, Christoya, you all know each other. ”

Christoya nodded and smiled at the two of them.

"I don't need to introduce this one more." Davers pointed at Andrea and smiled, "I'm still waiting for your wedding!" ”

Andrea and Bagul both blushed, and Vespa was a little helpless, although he didn't like Bagul to marry a Greek woman, but in the current situation, marrying a Greek woman would help the tribe a lot.

"So we don't pay attention to any etiquette today, we can sit as we want, and eat as we want! I've prepared some novelty food here that hasn't been rolled out in restaurants yet, and you're the first to taste it, and I hope you enjoy it! Davers's words aroused everyone's curiosity, and even Vesbar, who didn't go out much, knew that Christoya's restaurant was famous in the league.

Davers himself set an example by bringing a wooden chair to sit at the dining table instead of lying on a chaise long, and Davos was already dissatisfied with the Greek banquet posture, which was completely detrimental to digestion and health. And Davers allowed Christoya and Andrea to attend the banquet, which was originally against Greek tradition, but in the garden of Vespa and Bagul, he felt that Davers was bold and grand, and he really didn't treat them as outsiders.

The slaves first served some fruit and snacks to the front of the table, and then placed a jar of wine and a jar of golden liquid.

Bagul took a sip curiously, and suddenly a cool breath penetrated his heart, making him can't help but ask: "What is this, it's so delicious!" ”

"The beer that the Egyptians drink." Andrea now learned and sold, and explained to her lover: "According to the requirements of the adults, the slave has been carefully brewed to make this wine even better. ”

"Well, it's better than soft wine, that's what men drink!" Bagul took another big sip and spoke out loud.

Wesper took a sip under his son's infection, and then silently took a few sips.

Seeing this, Davers smiled at Christoya and said, "How can you drink beer without good food!" ”

Kristoya immediately motioned to Arsuna.

Asuna instructed the servants to bring an iron object as high as a wooden table to each table, and on top of it was a clay pot filled with water and spices, and the servants began to light the wood and put it into the iron cavity under the pot.

Vespa watched them curiously, and the slaves brought two trays of things to each.

"Is this lamb?" Wesbah looked at the red and white, thinly rolled slices of meat on the plate, and said uncertainly.

"It's lamb. This is beef. Davers pointed at them and said, "I call this food shabu beef and mutton slices." As he spoke, the water in the crockpot was already boiling, and Davers took a piece of beef in his hand and put it in the crockpot, and saw the beef tumbling in the boiling water, and soon the color turned white. Davers scooped it up with a wooden spoon with a leaky eye, put it on a wooden plate with the dipping sauce, dipped it a few times, grabbed it with his hands, and put it in his mouth, looking intoxicated.

After eating it, they all looked surprised, and Bagul even said, "I have never eaten such delicious beef, how do you do it?" ”

"Skin, bone, and blood of the slaughtered sheep, and then put them in the cellar, and then send people to the high mountains to collect a large amount of ice and put them in the cellar, seal them, and make an ice cellar, and after a day, take out the frozen beef and mutton, and then use a knife to cut out thin and crispy slices of meat, put them in boiling water, and cook them as soon as they are hot......," Davers patiently explained.

"So what is this thing?" Bagul pointed to the small plate in front of his desk and continued to ask.

"That's the dipping sauce, which is used to regulate the taste of beef and mutton. This dipping sauce should be made with shrimp and shellfish...... Well...... There is also seaweed and other chopped and mixed fermentation, and a little spice from India is added, and I have to ask my chef how to make it. ”

"This kind of food looks simple, I didn't expect it to be so troublesome!" Bagul lamented that he had given up on his plans to try it out at home in the future.

Davers smiled slightly, turned his head and asked Andrea, "Our big businessman, do you think my food of shabu beef and mutton slices can be popular in our restaurant?" ”
