Chapter 12 The Front of Advancement (Part 2)
During the period before the high priest took further action, the happiest one was the people and nobles of Rhodes. They returned to Rhodes one after another and held a grand celebration of God-Thank you in the ruins of the city, loudly thanking Libidaus for his national salvation for their country.
The law enforcement officer, Cliercus, insisted on rewarding all the soldiers. He not only opened the state's vault and gave the officers and soldiers three hundred money to each of Seth's withdrawals, but also women, meat and wine were supplied like a scrape. In private, Cliercus whispered to the elders who came to express their concern:
"This is the way of survival in Rhodes. We insist on investing and spending a lot of money. Now we just need to please Libidaus and his son, and we don't care about anything else. Our money flows from the sea, and it is developed by transit trade between Egypt, Greece and Little Asia. But money is just money, just a pile of beautiful round metals, so that ordinary people will be interested in them. Even if the assets of the state are exhausted this time, as long as Libida continues to grant us the authority of maritime trade, our islands and cities will still be rich in ten years."
The reason why Clirkus was able to lead Rhode Island for decades, stand firm in the Mitradati War and Rome's several civil wars was due to the same knowledge and vision as the Ligurian city-state law enforcement officer Itassos.
∝Sure enough, Li Bida quickly announced in the town hall of Rhodes Island that after that, Rhodes Island ships had one third of the ship's seat for the transportation of Cyrene cargo, and he was greeted by everyone's thunderous cheers.
"Oh, my dear Cliercus, you don't need to pay anything for future wars. Rhode Island suffered losses and was extremely heavy in the previous wars." In the following jubilant banquet, Libida and Cliercus stood at the corner of a relatively secluded corridor. On behalf of the Republic, he expressed his sincere gratitude to their states.
"No, although the ships captured by Kasio were damaged, and the navy of our country were almost destroyed, I could still provide the High Priest with no less than thirty fleets with decks and corners in a short time." Klierkus' promise made the High Priest very interested and hurriedly asked what the other party would do, so the law enforcement officer was calm. "The Rhodes are both excellent sailors and excellent ship craftsmen. Believe me, there is nothing better than them in the entire ocean - we can quickly remove the decks, nails, components and weapons that are still usable on the damaged ships of Kasio and install them on other ships. In this way, as long as they are recombined, a new fleet of reduced size will be produced."
The high priest was extremely grateful for his ideas, and Cliercus said that this was just a slight effort. Then Li Bida asked to keep one of the legions of Lufio's army in Rhodes to guard the key land in the ocean and divide the Brutu on this shore and Eurabel on the other shore, and Cliercus readily agreed, "Our country is willing to bear half of the grain and military pay expenses in this legion!"
"Very good, I can give you all the equipment, ships and weapons that seized the two legions of Kasio."
When Li Bida's fleet, after being arranged, marched towards Xiaoya from both sides of the breakwater outside the sea area of Rhodes, the flying seagulls and the white cumulus clouds on the seaside, Li Bida suddenly saw that the Rhodes people set up a huge furnace in front of the city lighthouse, and began to line up to transport weapons inside - these swords and shields, which happened to be the weapons he promised to give them to them.
