The Citizens' Congress then held elections, and Lucias, who brought peace to Crotone, became the chief general. Although his practice of ceding territory was criticized by many people, the more than 10,000 civilians who returned to their hometown thanked him for saving them from hell in time, so most of them voted for him. At the same time, Sisprotis, who participated in the peace talks with Lucias, was also the general. For a time, the conservatives clearly gained the upper hand in the Executive Committee of Crotone's General.

However, the most urgent task is to repel Locre and rescue the allies. The newly formed ten generals of Crotone were very clear. After careful consideration, they decided to appoint three captains with rich combat experience who had been captured by Dionia as generals to fight.

So, the soldiers who had just returned to Crotone had to go out again to fight, with 15,000 soldiers (including 10,000 heavy infantry), and 4,000 free people were recruited. After preparing rations, they immediately marched towards Coulenia.

Someone in the council raised an objection, demanding that more citizens be left to protect the empty Crotone city.

Although Lycius was conservative, he was not cowardly. Not only did he not agree, he even sent an envoy to Asprestum and told the Dionia garrison that Crotone was now empty in the city and hoped to receive assistance from the allies if necessary.

While receiving a clear response from Ascesters, the Crotone fleet, led by the Navy Commander Ascamas, more than 60 warships of all sizes sailed towards Coulenia together.

……………………………

Just as Crotone was about to fight against Locre, the Dionia Senate voted to select five candidates for Crimesa who could enter the Senate, Anta Oris, Orikpus and Pleades were all selected.

This matter is just the appetizer for today's long Senate meeting, followed by a reward for the soldiers participating in the Croto Civil War. Since there were too many people participating in the war, the military officer Philicius and the household registration officer Rafias only determined a rough number at the meeting: about 7,000 formal citizens will receive 1 to 3 acres of land based on their military achievements. The suggestion of the veterans led by Davers is to try to allocate land to the city where the citizens live. Of course, if they voluntarily change, they should be satisfied;

The second was about 15,000 registered free people who participated in the war, and as a result of the victory of several consecutive battles, more than half of them would directly enter the formal citizen inspection period. As this war obtained a large amount of land and two cities, it was urgently necessary to occupy these lands and guard the new cities. Therefore, although the formal citizen inspection period was not over, the Senate decided to grant them five acres of "land" in Crimesa, Asprestum and the northern plains of Croton, because they had not yet become formal citizens, so during this inspection period, the tax paid was still 10% of the land income, and it was not reduced to one percent of the land tax until they became formal citizens;

For nearly 6,000 free people participating in the war, their inspection period for becoming preparatory citizens will be reduced by half, and they will be given priority to rent land in the city state, of course, the tax burden of 20% remains unchanged;

For soldiers who died in war, whether citizens or free people, as long as their relatives are still there, the Senate will be rewarded by normal soldiers, and also provide generous pensions, mainly from the spoils.

The entire reward and distribution matter will be mainly completed by the agricultural officer Burques, household registration officer Rafias, and three corps commanders Cappus, Dracos and Hironimes.

"Citizens of Dionia call on, perform their duties, and fight for the Alliance. As the helmsman of the Alliance's ship, we must also give them corresponding praise and care fairly and justly. We cannot let our warriors shed tears while bleeding! Only in this way can more people contribute more strength to the prosperity and strength of the Alliance!..." Finally, Davers reminded the Bulcos who were about to do things with an enthusiastic speech.

Next discusses Crimesa, the candidate for the Chief Executive of Asprostom.

There are many veterans who signed up for the election of Crimesa because it is a harbour city with good conditions and Greek residents. Although it is adjacent to Crotone, it has become an alliance after all, and Asprestum is ahead, and the ruling environment is relatively safe.

The final vote was that Scomblas received the highest number of votes, which surprised some people. But when they thought about it carefully, although Scomblas had a bad temper, he was quick to speak, corrected if he had any mistakes, and was not too scheming, and was willing to help his younger generations, so many people were happy to date him.

According to the law of Dionys, Davers has the final veto of any proposal in the Senate, but as long as the proposal is reasonable, he generally rarely uses this right. Just like now, he believes that the candidates for the Crimean Chief Executive were not bad, and Scomblas' straightforward and friendly character may win the favor of the Crimeans who are hostile to the Dionys. So he was the first to congratulate Scomblas.

"Don't worry, Lord Consul. I will definitely let the Crimesa people agree with the Dionian League as soon as possible, and at the same time coordinate the relationship between the locals and the new immigrants..." Scomblas made a resounding assurance to Davers.

There is an old man in the family, and if you have a treasure, Scomblas, who is over 50 years old, has not yet taken office, and has seized two major problems that he needs to invest in his energy to solve after serving as the Chief Executive of Crimea. So Davers smiled and said, "With you in Crimesa, there is nothing to worry about in the Senate!"

As for the candidate for the Chief Executive of Asprestum, since Davers said in advance: Asprestum is different from Crimesa, it is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Neto River. From time to time, the Brutes who are traveling southwest are harassed. In the south, we must be vigilant and deterred other Greek city-states from the covetous plains of Croton, and at the same time we must coordinate our relationship with the Crotone.

In addition, Davers also told the elders: There are many Lucanian soldiers willing to move to Asprestum. In this way, in addition to the Lukari region (including Niutum of course), Asprestum has become the highest proportion of Lucanian residents among the Dionysian Union cities. Therefore, the requirements for the Chief Executive of Asprestum are relatively high. First of all, they must have relatively strong military talents, certain administrative experience, and strong coordination skills. At the same time, they can make those who join Dionys and some free and casual Lucans obey.

For Amendorala and Turiyi, the elders who had suffered from the pain of war, they always had indelible fears in their hearts. Vesbah and Hemon actively made suggestions on issues involving Lucania, but they always calmly watched and acted as voting machines when it comes to Greek city-state affairs; most of the elders of the mercenary army were unwilling to handle administrative affairs, or those with insufficient administrative capabilities, such as Antonios, Alexis and others held important public offices and could not leave. Therefore, when the rotating chairman Cornerus announced that those who were willing to serve as the Chief Executive of Asprostum should raise their hands, no one responded for a while.

Davers was also a little surprised to see this. A name appeared in his mind - Asisters. It was just that Asisters was not a member of the Senate and could not serve as the chief executive of the city according to regulations. Only then did he realize that before the publication of the Dionysian Union Public Service Law, it became difficult for the former mercenary members to enter the Senate again, and it became difficult for most of the guys who only wanted to fight to let them re-enter administrative affairs. It was undoubtedly impossible to rise one level after another. It seemed that it was necessary to add several regulations specifically for senior generals of the Legion to enter the Senate in the Public Service Law...

Davers thought, but saw a person in the crowd raised his hand - Hilos, who turned out to be Davers' former captain, the most capable confidant Hilos!

Some time ago, Davers was busy with affairs, and Shilos served as the captain of the patrol of Amendolar. Apart from meeting at the Senate meeting, the two had few opportunities to meet, but Davers still knew about Shilos' performance: With the prosperity of storage, accommodation and food under the city of Amendolar, a large number of foreign populations have influx, but no major conflict has occurred. Shilos' performance has made great contributions. His ability to handle emergencies and his fairness in coordinating the resolution of conflicts between residents and outsiders have been well received by the people of Amendolar and the Chief Executive Cornerus. As for military talent, Davers gave him the evaluation of being good at using troops, which is just suitable for Asprostum, who is in a special geographical location. I believe that with his rich mercenary experience, it is not a big problem to impress those Lucanians. As for administrative experience...

Davers thought for a while: I can let Asistes stay in Asprestum for a while to help Hilos deal with government affairs. I believe that with Hilos' serious learning attitude, he will soon be able to govern independently.

After waiting for a while, Hilos was still the only one. Cornerus announced helplessly that the candidate for Chief Executive Asprostum is Hilos.

"I agree that Hilos is the chief executive of Asprostum, and he is the most suitable person!" Davers first expressed his support.

Then Capps, Antonios and others agreed, and the candidate for Chief Executive Asprostum was confirmed. Only Cornerus sighed: "Although I really want to congratulate Hilos, I have to express my regret for Amendolar's loss of an excellent patrol captain!"
Chapter completed!
