Chapter 519 The Belonging of Laos
Agassiz was stunned for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the total of these prisoners must be no less than ten thousand people! There are only more than 2000 citizen soldiers in Asprostum. I still want to leave some soldiers to defend the city. It doesn't matter. I can’t live with so many prisoners…”

"Thousands of soldiers from the Spear Brigade will be under your command and will return to Thurii with you." Davos already had a plan in mind.After this battle, the number of the Syracuse army will be far less than the army he led, not to mention that they have experienced a disastrous defeat. The regular army of Dionysia is fully capable of defeating it. I am afraid that the next step will mainly be a siege battle. , the spear brigade has no place to use.

"Okay." Agcia nodded in acceptance. He looked at the team of prisoners passing by not far away and said worriedly: "Now that there are more than 1 prisoners, the food supply in the alliance will probably be even tighter."

"Ansitanos took a boat to Carthage a few days ago, and I believe that we can sign some agreements with Carthage this time." Davos said with confidence.

"Carthage?" Assisia frowned: "Didn't it already reject our alliance request before!"

"The situation now is different from when the war first started -" Davos was about to explain to him in detail when a shout came from the distance: "Lord Davos!"

Davos took a closer look: a team was approaching him surrounded by two people, led by Sipulos.

Davos rushed to meet him, followed by the guards.

"Thanks to you Dionia, we finally won this important battle! Defeated the vicious Syracuseans! Great Greece was saved!" Sipulos excitedly gave Davos a powerful Embrace.

Daves patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "If you hadn't resisted the full-strength attack of the Syracuse on the left wing, I'm afraid the result of this battle would be difficult to say, so it should be said that we in southern Italy The alliance worked together to win this battle that was a matter of life and death for us!"

"This is fair. Our citizens did not die in vain!" A cold voice came from the side.

Davos turned his head and looked: the speaker was a tall and sturdy middle-aged man, with a square face full of beard and majesty. He looked at Davos with a somewhat complicated look.

"General Milon?" Davos had already guessed his identity.

"I am the Milon who was defeated by you a few years ago and was eventually forced to leave Crotone." Milon's tone seemed a little unkind.

Davos didn't mind and said with emotion: "There is a saying in the East called 'No fight, no acquaintance'! At the beginning, you marched towards Turiyi so fast, you really scared the people of Dionia. I have long wanted to see you. You, I didn’t expect to see you today after so many years. But fortunately, today Dionia and Crotone are allies of life and death. I am honored to be with you in such a relationship of life and death in Greater Greece. Fight side by side in the battle and defeat the powerful enemy! I think that in this war, the most correct choice made by the Crotone Council was to recall you. This allowed Crotone to persist to this day and serve our south. The Italian Alliance gathered strength to counterattack the Syracuseans and gained time, so that we can achieve today's victory! On behalf of Dionia, I would like to thank you and the citizens of Crotone who fought desperately!"

After Davos finished speaking sincerely, he solemnly gave a military salute to Milon.In fact, he didn't know what Milon did after returning to Crotone. These words of praise for Milon were more of a compensation for Dionia's delay in rescuing Crotone.

So as soon as he finished speaking, the Crotone soldiers behind Milon straightened their chests, and their hearts were filled with pride: This was the praise given to them by Davos, the famous and undefeated general of Magna Graecia!

Even Milon himself was a little excited and hurriedly returned a military salute: "It is also an honor for me to fight alongside Lord Davos!"

"This is all the arrangement of the goddess of fate! Now our South Italian Alliance is as close as a family, and we must make sure that the people of Syracuse never come back!" Sipulos took the opportunity to agree.

"Lord Daves." Milon hesitated for a moment and said: "In the future, Crotone may not be able to send troops to fight against the Syracuse people. Now our acropolis has also been attacked by the Syracuse people. With the burning of rockets, citizens urgently need to rebuild their homes!..."

"I understand." Davos said solemnly: "Crotone sacrificed a lot in this war! If you have any difficulties, please don't have any scruples, please just tell us, Dionia will do its best to help ! In addition, please feel free to leave these injured people in Crotone to us for treatment, and we will do our best to treat them!"

What the Crotones need to hear most at this time are these promises made by the new king of Dionia, Davos!For this reason, Milon sincerely expressed his gratitude to Daves again, and then led the team back to the Crotone Acropolis.

"Lord Daves, our Trina soldiers will continue to attack the Syracuseans together with the Dionia army!" Sipulos said loudly as he watched the Crotone team leave.

"Very welcome!" Davos said happily. He knew what Sipulos's fundamental purpose was: "I think when we attack Xiliting tomorrow, Trina City should be retaken easily. "

"May Apollo bless you!" Sipulos also had the same idea. He didn't think that after the disastrous defeat of the Syracuse army, the thousands of enemies in Trina City still dared to stay there, alone and alone. Waiting for the attack of tens of thousands of troops from Dionia.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty Davos!..." Just as the two of them were talking, familiar shouts came from not far away.

Davos opened his eyes in surprise and saw a young figure appearing in front of him: "Why are you here?!"

Henipolis shrugged and said easily: "I am here to fulfill my promise - to serve as your Majesty's secretary."

"Herni, there is no need to rush to be my secretary at this time! You are the consul of Laos. Laos has just been recaptured from your rebellious uncle. At this time, you should stay with the people of Laos. , restore order to Laos, which has experienced war, as soon as possible!" Davos looked at his relaxed look and couldn't help but remind him earnestly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Laos now has Eliandos to maintain order in the city, and Bagule to help manage government affairs. At the same time, Hemon, the administrator of Niutum, can provide help at any time. It doesn't matter whether I'm there or not. It will have a bad impact on the governance of Laos."

Henipolis' words stunned Davos: "You asked Bagulu to handle Laos' affairs for you?!"

"Isn't it possible! The bills I want to implement were originally learned from Thurii. As the administrator of Grumentum, Bagule should be very familiar with this aspect and can fully cope with the changes in Laos's political system. All the difficulties it brings, but me being there will hinder him from exercising power..." Henipolis said plausibly.

Davos was speechless for a moment, but the look on his face was still reproachful: the top governor of a city-state did not work with the people of the city to tide over the difficulties, and actually escaped by himself. This made the people of Laos What will they think if they know!
It's just that it was difficult for Davos to say these words in a public place like this. Just when he was thinking about criticizing Henipolis in private later, Henipolis saw through his mind and went up. He took a step closer and whispered: "The reason why I came here with Hilos' army is because I have a very important matter that I want to discuss with you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that he spoke so solemnly, Davos subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"

Henipolis glanced at Sipulos next to him, and instead of letting him avoid him, he deliberately made his voice louder: "After this incident, I finally realized that my interest is not in managing the city-state, but Laos If Sri Lanka wants to continue to develop safely and prosperously, it cannot do without Dionia, so I decided to merge Laos into Dionia!"

Davos was shocked when he heard this. In his eyes: Henipolis looked extremely serious when he said this, and it was obvious that he had thought deeply.

Immediately, countless thoughts were running rapidly in his mind, and he suppressed them forcefully. He only said: "We will discuss this matter in my tent later."

Then he turned around and introduced: "This is Lord Sipulos, Trina's chief general!"

Henipolis hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Master Sipros, I have seen you several times in the mansion of His Majesty Davos before."

"Oh, really." Sipulos said with a forced smile. He used to go to Tuliyi and go to Davos Mansion for discussions every time, but how could he remember the young man he met in the courtyard.At this moment, he was shocked by the news he had just heard. Looking at the high-spirited young man in front of him, it seemed that he did not know clearly. Once Laos took the initiative to request to be merged into the Dionysian Alliance, what would happen to the Dionysian Alliance and South Italy? What impact did the other city-states of the alliance have?And where should Trina, who has also experienced war and brokenness, go?
Sipulos sighed secretly: "Lord Henipolis, congratulations on recapturing Laos!"

Henipolis noticed the flash of worry on his face, smiled secretly in his heart, but expressed his gratitude on his mouth, and said at the same time: "I just separated from General Bromaras, he should be with Lord Xiros now. Escort the prisoners. Trina's soldiers played a big role in stopping Syracuse's defeated army this time!"

Sipulos hurriedly asked the general location of Bromaras, and hurriedly led the soldiers away.

"Thanks to Xilos and his army arriving in time this time, otherwise the result would not have been so great!" Davos said with a sigh as he looked at Sipulos's leaving figure.
