Davos urgently summoned senior team officers such as Felixius, Capus, Drakes, Hieronymus, Epithenes, etc., to discuss the countermeasures against the alliance proposed by Laos.
After that, he asked for an urgent meeting of the Senate, and after discussion, Davos' proposal was passed.
That night, Arobmas was taken to Davos' mansion again.
"How is the guest from Laos resting?" Davos said jokingly.
Arobmas looked around and saw a few more people beside Davos, and asked eagerly: "Master Consul, have you made a decision?!"
"Yes, our Senate has decided to accept Laos as an ally of the Tua Alliance after deliberation!" Davos said with a smile.
"Great!" Arobmas couldn't hide his excited expression. Before he came, he had listened to Avinogis' detailed introduction on how to negotiate with the Greeks and the procedures for signing a covenant. For such a major event, the Greeks would definitely hold a conference, without two or three days of repeated discussions. As a result, he would urge Davos before, but it took only 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 easily take Laos?" Davos asked with concern.
After the previous conversation, Arobmas was no longer surprised why Davos knew Laos so well, he said with great confidence: "We have no problem taking Laos, we not only have more than a thousand soldiers, but also the port. Our slaves are also descendants of our Sybaris, and they are willing to obey our commands! We have lived in Laos for generations, and those new Lucanias don’t even know how many lanes there are in Laos, How can it be our opponent! Just after we take Laos, we will definitely be attacked by Niutum and even Grummentum, so we need your support!"
"That is to say, the process of capturing the city is not very risky. After capturing Laos, it may attract crazy revenge from the Lucanians, right?" Davos asked patiently.
Arobmas nodded involuntarily.
"Then I have a better way to allow you to obtain Laos smoothly without taking the risk later!" Davos's speech was full of temptation.
"What way?" Arobmas asked hurriedly.
"Help us take Niutum first, and cut off the passage for the Lucarians to go south to rescue Laos. At that time, you will not even need to attack Laos. The Lucanians in the city have lost their backup, and I am afraid they will also had to surrender."
What Davos said really made sense, and Arobmas was very moved, but he said worriedly: "Although Niutum is not Stone City, it is not easy to capture, if it can't be captured quickly, In case Grummentum comes to the rescue, our plans are exposed..."
"We won't storm Niutum." Davos laughed.
Arobmas was puzzled.
"How many warriors does Niutum have?" Davos asked.
"There were originally nearly 6,000 warriors. After you were defeated, there were more than 2,000 left. Now another 800 people have arrived in Laos, and there are only more than 1,000 warriors in the city." Arobmas answered truthfully.
"Apart from these warriors, can anyone else fight?" Davos asked again.
"The others are old people, women, and children. Niutum occupies a small area, the land is barren, and it cannot support too many tribes. The reason why there are so many warriors is that we, Laos, give it to it every year. Import a lot of food!" Arobmas remembered Niutum's oppression and exploitation of Laos for so many years, and hatred surged.
Davos smiled: "My request is very simple, I just need you to help us deceive the city gate of Neutum, and we will leave the rest to us."
… … … …
Arobmas set out to return to Laos, and he was accompanied by the secretary of the Tua Union consul, Asisters, and the captain of the mountain reconnaissance team Izam. They carried the covenant to go with Avinoji. At the same time, it was confirmed that the signer was Avinogis himself, and then further discussions were made about the capture of Niutum and Laos.
At the same time, the senior team officials of the Tua Alliance began to secretly mobilize the war while discussing how to attack the city map of Niutum left by Arobmas. Although as Arobmas said, there were only more than 1,000 soldiers in Niutum City, but Davos decided to adopt the tactic of fighting the lion against the rabbit for the sake of safety. , Seven brigade totaling 3,000 people, carrying five days of dry food, ready to surprise Niutum.
In addition, Davos is also preparing a banquet for two people.
"Leader Vespa, please take a seat!"
"Your Excellency Archon is too polite. I am no longer the leader of the tribe, but a prisoner of the Tua Alliance." Vespa said in a flat tone.
"It's only temporary. When you become a citizen of the Tua Alliance, you will still be the leader of this tribe!" Davos said as if to comfort him and as if making a promise.
Vespa's heart moved.
Davers said to Bagule, who was a little restrained by the side: "Hehe, the most famous football running back in the military camp, the road has made you stronger, doesn't it, Andrea?"
Andrea, who was following Cristoia, blushed and bowed her head silently.
"Lord Consul!" Bagul touched his head and said with a naive smile.
"Sit down! Sit down!" Davos greeted the guests to sit down and said aloud: "There are no outsiders here today, Chief Vespa, Bagule, you are all my old friends! My wife Kerry Stoya, you all know each other."
Cristoia nodded and smiled at the two of them.
"This one doesn't need me to introduce more." Davers pointed to Andrea and smiled: "I'm still waiting for your wedding!"
Andrea and Bagule both blushed, Vesba was a little helpless, although he didn't like Bagule marrying a Greek woman, but in the current situation, marrying a Greek woman would be of great benefit to the tribe. help.
"So we don't pay attention to etiquette today, we can sit as we want, and eat as we want! I have prepared some novel foods here, which have not been launched in restaurants yet. You are the first to taste it. Hope you guys like it!" Davos' words aroused everyone's curiosity, and even Vespa, who didn't go out very much, knew that Cristoia Restaurant was very famous in the league.
Davos himself took the lead in setting an example, and moved a wooden chair to sit at the dining table instead of lying on the reclining chair. Davos had long been dissatisfied with the sitting posture of the Greek banquet, which was completely unfavorable for digestion and health. And Davos let Cristoia and Andrea attend the banquet, which was originally against the Greek tradition, but in Vespa and Bagule Gardens, Davos felt that Davos was generous and he really didn't put them in the spotlight. Be an outsider.
The slaves first put some fruit and snacks on the front of each table, and then put a can of wine and a can of golden liquid.
Bagule took a sip out of curiosity, and suddenly a cold air penetrated his heart, making him unable to help but ask: "What is this, it's so delicious!"
"The beer that the Egyptians drink." Andrea, who is now learning how to sell, explained to her lover: "According to the request of adults, after the slaves have been carefully brewed, this wine will taste better."
"Well, it's better than soft wine, this is what men drink!" Bagul took another gulp, and then made a loud comment.
Vespa took a sip from his son's infection, and then drank a few sips in silence.
Seeing this situation, Davos and Cristoia looked at each other and smiled, and said, "How can there be no good food when drinking beer!"
Cristoia immediately motioned to Azuna.
Azuna instructed the servants to bring to each table an iron object that was as high as the wooden table. Above it was a clay pot filled with water and some spices. The servants began to light the wood and put the into the iron cavity under the crock pot.
Vespa and the others looked at all this curiously, while the slaves brought two dishes to each of them.
"Is this lamb?" Vespa said uncertainly, looking at the red and white slices of thinly rolled meat on the plate.
"This is mutton. This is beef." Davers pointed to them and said, "I call this type of beef and mutton slices." As he was talking, the water in the pot was boiling, and Davers used I took a piece of beef and put it in the crock pot. I saw the beef tumbling in the boiling water, and soon it turned white. Davos scooped it up with a wooden spoon with leaky eyes, put it on a wooden plate containing the dip, dipped it a few times, picked it up with his hands, and put it in his mouth with a look of intoxication.
Weisba and the others followed suit. After eating, they all looked surprised. Bagule even said, "I have never eaten such delicious beef before, how did you do it?"
"The slaughtered sheep are skinned, deboned, and their blood removed, and then they are put in the cellar. Then someone is sent to the high mountains to collect a large number of ice cubes and put them in the cellar, seal them up, and make an ice cellar. After a day, the frozen cattle are placed in the cellar. After taking out the mutton, you can use a knife to cut thin and crispy pieces of meat, put it in boiling water, and it will be cooked as soon as it is scalded..." Davers explained patiently.
"Then what is this thing?" Bagul continued to ask, pointing to the small plate in front of his case.
"That's a dipping sauce, it's used to adjust the taste of beef and mutton. This dipping sauce should be made of shrimp, shellfish... um... and seaweed, etc. After being chopped and fermented, a little spice from India is added. How to make it? Gotta ask my chef."
"This kind of food looks simple, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome!" Bagul sighed, having given up his plan to try it at home in the future.
Davos smiled slightly, turned his head and asked Andrea: "Our big businessman, do you think my beef and mutton slices will be popular in our restaurant?"
