Hearing his words, Davos also fell into contemplation, but after all, he had a lot of knowledge in his previous life, and he asked tentatively, "Is it possible to build a rope bridge?"
"Rope bridge?" Little Heraclid immediately cast a consulting gaze, and he always attached great importance to Davos' opinion.
So Davos told the little Heraclid about the general structure of the rope bridge (which he didn't know too well himself).
Little Heraclid, who had extensive experience in building bridges, suddenly lit up his eyes. He thought all the way, standing on the edge of the cliff from time to time, looking across the river: there are rolling hills and lush woods, it is not impossible. Crossing the area, as long as there is a bridge...
After walking for a while, little Heraclid said to Davos: "I feel that it should be relatively easy to build a rope bridge over the La River, and of course, a conclusion can only be made after specific experiments. However, the most important thing about this rope bridge is The material should be the rope. I just looked all the way, and it takes at least 50 meters of long and strong rope to reach the other side... "
"The rope is not a problem." Enanilus, as expected of a shipbuilder, interjected: "Just lengthen the rigging of the sailboat, and I can guarantee that it will be strong and durable."
"However, the number of people passing through the rope bridge at one time is limited, so we can build a few more." Davos also added.
Little Heraclid nodded, then kept his eyes on the ground and continued to think.
On the way of the march, Davos's eyes were carefully observing the surrounding topography. From time to time, he saw Lucanians grazing in the mountains on the right. They may be interested in such a huge army. The entire team, especially the heavily armed first team, seemed more nervous and alert. Some simply hid behind trees and rocks to peep.
"They should be Lucanians from Niutum, right? The cattle and sheep they graze should be from the Lend-Lease Alliance, right?" Davos asked with interest.
So Vespa led the sheep from the soldiers, went to the edge of the forest, and addressed them in Lucanian.
After a while, he returned the sheep and came to Davos.
The elders gathered around, wondering what he had said to the locals here.
"Lord Davos, they are indeed Neutumians, but not all Lucanians. There is a Greek slave who was Utrera, now free, and married to a Lucanian widow, Now reserve citizens of the Union. Two other Lucanians, who were also slaves, are now reserve citizens of the Union, one of whom married a Greek woman who was also a slave before. All the shepherds are small tribesmen who were once oppressed by Udler and the others, and now they are all reserve citizens of the alliance..." Vespa said one by one.
"What's their attitude toward the league?" Scambrace asked.
Vespa gave him a look and replied, "They're thankful that the Alliance saved them! Now that they're citizens, they feel free, just complaining a little bit."
"What are you complaining about?!" Skombas asked anxiously.
"Complain about the league's refusal to let them rent more livestock." Weisba sternly tried not to let himself smile.
"They think well, but there are only so many animals, and if they want more, there will be no one else," muttered Scambrace.
"Do they object to the five percent tax?" Mathisakus asked.
"This tax is much lower than before. They now hope that livestock will have more cubs, because those are all owned by them," Vespa replied.
"It seems that Sesta and Bagul have done a good job in Niutum, and people here have begun to accept us..." Davos smiled.
Even the elders who had opposed the admission of the Lucanians had to agree with Davos' words.
… … … …
In the afternoon, Davos' team arrived at Niutum City.
Niutum is somewhat similar to Amendolara, it is also built on a hillside, but its scale is larger than that of Amendolara, and it is a wooden city wall.
Right here, the cliffs on the east bank of the La River become sloping and gentle, and people can reach the river more easily. From here, the terrain becomes higher and the area becomes more and more open. Further north, it is time to reach the La River and Xin. The area between the upper reaches of the Ni River is called "the fertile soil between the mountains" by the Lucanians. In fact, its terrain is not flat, but compared to the mountains, it is much better, and the land is also It is more fertile and suitable for farming, so it has become a settlement for small tribes, which is obviously the reason why the Lucarians of Niutum chose to build a city here.
In the morning, Kesima received a notice from the chief executive's mansion: Davos, the life-long consul of the Dionysian Alliance, was about to visit.
Like other Lucalia youths, Kesima eagerly signed up and came to greet him. After this period of publicity and the rumors he had heard before, Kesima had long been eager to see the famous player in the league and the rumored player. "Son of God".
Although it took a long time to wait, when he saw the huge team coming, Kesima, who was already a little tired, quickly cheered up, followed Sesta and strode forward. He saw the person surrounded by the crowd: he Very young, but everyone around him has sincere respect for him, making him exude an indescribable majesty, but he always has a kind smile on his face, repaying everyone Sincere greetings, majesty and gentleness formed a strange harmony in him...
"My lord, I violated the order of the Senate, I made a mistake!" Sesta said frankly to Davos.
"No, we don't know what's going on here. You're doing a great job here! It turns out that you're an excellent city administrator. This is what the elders and I have in common!" Davers said kindly to him. The previous practice was affirmed.
"Thank you, my lord!" Sesta was relieved. Before, he heard a report from a slave sent by Felixius, and the Senate was dissatisfied with his killing of prisoners.
"Lord Davos, hello!"
"Bagule, you have done an excellent job of completing the task given to you by the alliance! I have also fulfilled my promise. Look, I not only brought your father and your clansmen, I also brought a special My guest, guess who it is?" Compared with Sesta's conversation, Davos seemed more relaxed when facing Bagule, and he actually made a joke.
"I can't guess." Bagule rubbed his head naively and replied.
"Look back."
"Ah... Andrea?!"
"It's a bit late to recognize her now, Andrea will punish you for forgetting her!" Davos finished joking, Andrea glared at Bagule fiercely, her face flushed.
"Ha! Ha! Ha!..." The crowd laughed.
"I originally wanted to hold your wedding here, but Andrea insisted on holding it at the Hera marriage celebration in April next year, so you can discuss it yourself, I can't help you!" Davers teased Causing another burst of laughter from the crowd.
"Sir Davos, hello! I'm Hermon." A middle-aged strong man stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Oh, I know you! Sesta wrote to praise you before, saying that you actively cooperated with him, stabilized the situation in the city, and helped him solve many problems, thank you very much!" Davos immediately praised loudly.
"It's nothing, I'm also a citizen of the alliance!" Hermon felt that it was worth being busy if he could be remembered by the No. 1 figure in the alliance.
"Yes, it's very good to know this way! This alliance is mine and yours, it belongs to the Greeks, and it belongs to the Lucanians!"
"You are right, Lord Davos!"
…
Kesima listened and was subconsciously excited, feeling that he really seemed to be integrated into this alliance.
At this time, Davos came to him.
"Lord Davos, I'm Kesima!" He strode forward and saluted very respectfully.
Davos also returned a Lucania salute, and said happily: "You are Bagule's good friend. I heard Bagule talk about you, I am also his good friend, I don't know me Is there a chance to be your best friend?"
"Of course! Of course!" Kesima agreed excitedly.
Davos greeted those who always came out to greet him, and then asked Sesta, "Why didn't Asisters come?"
"Because the waiting time was a bit long, the second and fourth teams went to play rugby games to kill time, and Asisters was refereeing."
"Didn't I ask Izam to tell you that you don't need to call so many people out to greet you?!" Davers criticized.
"They came voluntarily, and they all hope to get your compliments, Lord." Sesta explained quickly.
"But now it seems that football is more attractive than me!" Davers said jokingly, dispelling the previous dissatisfaction.
He looked in the direction of Sesta's finger: there was a large circle of people not far north of the city gate, and there were cheers and exclamations from time to time...
"Turiyi hasn't started the game because the arena is not built yet, so you should get it here first!" Davos said with a smile.
"Yeah, now the soldiers of the second and fourth teams are playing football games every day, which often attracts the people here to gather and watch." Sesta said with some worry: "I'm afraid they are too addicted to this game and delay. business."
"So tell Bagule and Drakes to take care of their soldiers." Davos nodded and said, "However, it seems that the citizens here also like this kind of game."
"Lord Davos, we like football games very much, just watching the game is very exciting!" Kesima interjected.
"Can you play?" Davos asked with interest.
"Bagul said that we are not familiar with the rules of the game, let us watch and learn. In fact, we have already watched it!" Uraza said dissatisfied.
