As the war between Athens and Persia were ended, the land from Greek shores to the mountains in the east was now given the Athenians as offering for peace. Alcander had accepted, which surely satisfied him and the men of Greece. With it done, an population 1.010.000 had now been included to the population of Athens. By the king, they all were ordered to gather at one spot to figure what to do with them. The villages that was left empty was guarded by few soldiers that protected the borders around on many outposts, to make sure no danger approached.
In the camp were the army rested, Alcander sat inside his tent while hearing the numbers of the people that arrived on the gathering spot outside. "10 000 rich families, 500 000 children, 300 000 adults, 200 000 Elders."The servant read out loud, while holding the scroll with exact numbers. It pleased the king a lot, to hear the news of so many people had come to met. No more was they to stay under Persian rule, but the Athenians. After hearing the news, Alcander spoke out loud as he rose up from his seat."Good, spare them all. Find some volunteers that would like to watch the outposts of our new borders, tell them to set up towers with bells and 1 mile distance between them all. I want new cities built, here, here and there. Make sure they are well protected."He spoke as he pointed towards the map that laid on the table, it was a drawing showing all the details of the land he now owned, special made as expended their new kingdom were.
"I want half of the people to be taken to Athens, to live there as the other half are to live here. Take out the men, and start learn them fighting immediately. All new born are to be teached in the old fashion way, make them learn how the Athenian costumes are built upon."Alcander spoke as he continued, telling his servants all the commands he could think of until everything was done."Now I only need a governor for this place, hm Adrian maybe?..well guess we just have to wait and see."With that said, Alcander sat down again as soon he would leave home again. Outside his horse was prepared, and a messenger ordered to tell Egypt in what had happened.
