Vol 5 Chapter 49: War prelude

"Great!" Daves finally couldn't help but stand up excitedly: "Little Heraclitus, you can think of these is really amazing!"
"Adult, this is not my own idea, it is a proposal after consulting with other people in the road bureau." Little Heraklid said truthfully, he has some doubts: just some ideas for road reconstruction, how can it be Is this young, wise, sacred governor so excited?
Of course, he would not understand that what Daphus thought at the moment was actually the national identity of the Greeks. Through the historical materials of his previous life and his personal experience in this era, he felt that the Greeks were indeed an excellent race, creating brilliant civilizations in science, culture, culture, military, politics, sports, etc., but why is Rome? Not Greece, later unified the Mediterranean?
Davers believes that there are some fatal flaws in the Greek national identity: too self-pursuing and unable to form unity, too passionate and lack of practical resilience, built numerous magnificent temples, arenas, theaters in Greece The city-state can't take care of its own city. So Daves started from the mercenary leader and used strict military laws to restrain the mercenary. He intentionally slowly guided and changed the Greek people under his control.
The road bureau of Little Heraklid can notice these details and make changes. This kind of serious and practical thinking for the people certainly makes the doctor feel gratified. He praised: "My eyes are not wrong, you are not only An excellent road and bridge architect, and can also be a good road officer, managing the road system within the Dionysian Union!"
Little Heraklied faced praise, although some embarrassed, but continued: "The cost of the avenue reconstruction is a lot, I am worried about the Senate -"
"Do not worry, the Senate will pass your proposal." Dafos made a guarantee: "The benefits that Avenue brings to Dionya are enormous. The reconstruction of the avenue will only make people travel and transport goods more. Convenience, this is a good thing, and more cost is worth it."
"Then I will be relieved!" Little Heraclitus sincerely thanked Davis, it was this young man who made him and his father no longer rush! It is this young man who has let him find his own business! And it is the support of this young man that made him stand out in the political arena of Dionia!
"Is your father's body still okay?"
Davers’s words made him look back:
Not very good. I often wake up at night, keep coughing, I can still see bloodshots... I told him to rest at home, there is Piasi in the temple. Coase stared, there would be no problem, but he just didn't listen!" said Little Heraclitus with a worried face.
Davers sighed. In fact, Herppes, who had seen Heraclitus, had quietly told him that this stubborn old man had been running out of time...
Davers whispered comfortably: "Your father will use the newly built Turui City as his own child. He is not at ease! You can rest assured, I will let the doctor of Herppus take care of your father at any time..."
........................
After sending away Heraclitus, Davers stretched out and prepared to go back to the backyard to accompany his sleeping wife and children.
At this time, the slave general manager Ribazzo came in and pleaded: "Master, Felicius, Bakul, Vesba, and Hermon are seeking to see."
Daves certainly knows why these people came. This is a major event that can be seen in the final arrangement of the time in Dayia. He has to shake his spirits: "Please come to the four veterans."
Daves also has some helplessness. Public officials in several cities in the Dionysian Union, such as the city’s chief executive, judges, and tax officials, have offices—the city hall, and the highest authority to control the entire alliance. In addition to negotiating state affairs, discussing and enacting bills in the Senate House, the Senate’s veterans have no personal office space, including the only governor of the whole league and the chief veteran Davers, so the living room of their own residence has become Dafos's usual office space, most of the other veterans are like this. The Senate has discussed several times to build a magnificent office building for the entire league's elders. Based on various factors such as capital and manpower, this proposal is only Stay on paper.
After the four people were seated, Filipius as a military officer first said: "Daveus, we are here to ask you, should we start the plan to win Grummantum?"
"How is the situation in Grummentum now?" Daves asked earnestly. In fact, he had already learned about the situation in Lucalia through Aristilas.
"The governor is an adult." Hermon owed: "Since Potentia repelled Pixsis and occupied Grummantum, their great leader, Pu'am, led the main army back to Boteng. The city of Tias, leaving only his brother, Polett, led two thousand tribal fighters to stay in the city of Grummantum. The son of the great leader of Grummantum, Aksaru, also stayed in the city to assist. Pollett manages Grummantum."
Davers smiled: "The Lusau that was betrayed by his own people?! The Potentia people really dare to use him?!"
"Adult, you are right, Pu'am left Lusau is a mistake!" Vesba took the words and sneered: "I have dealt with Lusau, who is bullying and hard. Revenge, when he led the army to drive my tribes to the mountains... It is said that when he was in Potentia, he was pleased with Pu'am like a dog, perhaps because of this, Puamot would Wrongly think that he will help Potentia stabilize the governance of Grummantum.
However, Lusau returned to Grummentum, got several tribes to rely on, and his strength was strengthened, and things began to become arrogant. The tribes who had betrayed him, although the princes had been killed by Cincinnag, Lusau did not let those peoples go. He often sent new tribes to provoke disputes and then disobeyed the rules. Punish and take the opportunity to embezzle their settlements and pastures... His orders to Politet are often promised, not carried out in the back, or even confronted.
And those soldiers from Potentia took advantage of them as winners, and also bullied the Grummantum in the city. It is said that Pollett’s treatment of the tribes inside and outside Grummentum is mild, but he cannot manage Living under his men, he could not let Lusawu listen to his orders.
Now, the Grummentu people hate Lusau and hate the Potentia! "Wesbach said, looked at Hermon: "So I and Hermon sent to the city's messengers and they quietly contacted them, they were warmly welcomed by them, they are eager to let us drive away the Paya Tia!

"Grummen Tum hates Lusau, but we should thank him!" Daves joked and said, everyone laughed.
Davers asked again: "What are their requirements?"
"They are willing to join Dionia, but hope that after we capture Grummentum, we can move them to Niutum, giving them land no less than the current settlements and pastures, and with Nieuw Like those tribes, Dionia cannot interfere with their management of the people, and they are willing to provide the greatest help for Dionya to capture the city of Grummen."
After listening to Hermon, Davers was a little surprised: "Their requirements are as simple as that?!"
"The initial requests they made were much more than these, but our people made them realize that they betrayed Lusau and betrayed Cincinnag, and now they have to chase the Potentia, then they only rely on it. It’s just that we, the Dionysian Union, who are trying to protect themselves in the future, this is not a smart person!
Hermon said with some contentment:
The Lucanias live in peace and peace in Dionia. The Alliance has always kept its promise of good reputation ~EbookFREE.me~ so they finally choose to cooperate with us."
"Since this is the case, after we won Grummantum, why didn't they stay in Grummantum? It was their homeland after all." Daphus had some doubts.
"Adults, that's because they are afraid!" Bakule said disdainfully: "Because they think that Potentia and Picosis will come back to fight for Grummentum, they will not face them again. anger!"
"The guys understand people." Daphus whispered. To be honest, leaving these capricious tribes in Grummantum, he is not at ease. Since they voluntarily leave, Daves certainly wants to reciprocate: "Niutum has extra pastures to accommodate. Are they?"
"Not yet." Wesbach hesitated and said: "However, I have already consulted with all the tribal leaders of Niutum, and some tribes are willing to move to Grummantum, with these Grumendum tribes. The settlements are exchanged, but they want to get compensation for the iron ore mining rights in Grumendum."
Davers gently shook his head. The iron ore of Grumendum has long been used by some veterans of the Senate, and the elders like Masi Sakus have been looking for him several times, hoping to contract the iron ore mine of Grummantum.
He indulged for a while and said: "It is impossible to have mining rights, but they can get some of the benefits of iron ore, specifically, how can you go to them, but not more than 20%, provided that they provide manpower Participate in mining and mining."
"Okay, I will go to Niutumm to discuss with them tomorrow." Hermon nodded.
"Is the soldiers ready? The assault plan has been drafted?" Davers turned his eyes to Bakuule.
