Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Yes, he is beautiful, like you!"

"I haven't named the child, so I'll wait for you to come back and get it."

Regarding the child's name, Davis had considered it on the way back.He held his wife's shoulder in one hand and his chin in the other, thinking, "I remember the first time I learned that you were pregnant, I had just defeated the Crotonite... and this time he was born, we beat Ke again. Rotone, the war with Crotone is also just over, this child is so destined to Crotone, this is Hades's wish! I might as well name our child... Croto Katak What do you think?

"Kroto Katax... Kroto Katax..." Kristoa whispered a few times, looking up slightly, worriedly, looking up at her husband: "Will the name be too public (card Tucks means conquest, and Krotokatax means Krotone's conqueror)?"

Daphes laughed: "My child has this name, and when he grows up, the Dionysian people shout his name, and they will think about the hardships of the founding of the country and what his father did to this alliance. Contributions will be tolerant to him! At the same time, if my child has the ambition, he will create his own glory under the inspiration of this name!..."

Cristoya, who was not too satisfied with the name, thought about it and finally nodded: "Well, it's Crotocatax."

As soon as the words fell, the crying of the outhouse children stopped abruptly.

Christoya covered her mouth and looked at Davies in surprise: "God, this name has been blessed by Hera! The child himself accepted it!"

At this time, Azsuna came in with the baby.

Christoya took him and said softly, "Little... baby, this is your father! Call dad!"

The child screamed haha ​​and danced.

"Look, he called you!" Kristoa smiled softly, and then carefully placed the child in front of Daveus.

Daveus carefully placed him in his arms, lest the little fellow might be injured if he tried hard.

This time, the child didn't cry. He opened his gleaming eyes and looked at Daveus curiously. Two small, fleshy hands scratched his face.

Daveus let him play around, and at this moment he felt the blood flow in his heart, he said excitedly: "Christoya, I want to inherit my name as the family surname and pass it on to me Children, they will be passed down to future generations. I believe that the Davis family will become the most dazzling family in the Mediterranean!"

Davis's words brightened Christoya's eyes.Most Greeks have only first names but no last names. In order to distinguish duplicate names, they are often preceded by naming or other notes in order to distinguish them, for example: Socrates of Athens, Socrates, son of Acidatis, etc. , But the aristocrats of Persia, the great power in the east, are well-known.As a Miletus from Asia Minor, of course, she knew that from the words of Daveus she heard the ambition of her husband, and she repeatedly read the name of her son’s future with great interest: "Daveus Croto Cartax..."

At this time, Davers glanced at a small head emerging from the bedroom door.

"Cynthia, come in!" he beckoned.

Seven-year-old Cynthia led the five-year-old Adores to the bed hesitantly.

"Come and see your brother!" Daveus said happily to the brother and sister.

"You have children... Would you like us?" Cynthia asked timidly.

Davies was stunned. He did not expect that the adopted daughter would be so sensitive. When the baby was about to be handed over to Christoya, he put them on his chest one by one and said aloud: "You will always be my Davies' child, why? Will you guys!"

Kristya also said softly: "And my mother also hopes that you will grow up and take good care of and protect your brother!"

The two children were comforted by the couple, and immediately there was no melancholy, and they looked at the baby in Cristoya's arms curiously.

"Can I touch him?" Cynthia asked quietly.

"Of course." Cristoa smiled softly.

Cynthia carefully touched the baby's face: "What's your brother's name?"

"Krotokatax, his nickname is... um... called Klow."

"He's so small." Adores also curiously took the baby's small hand and said like an adult: "Brother, I will protect you."

"Hey, wake up soon! Wake up!!!..." Colebus was awake while he was asleep. He opened his dim eyes and still felt sleepy. He turned over and was ready to continue his dream.

Immediately, the watery leather whip was pumped on his body, and the pain was hot, and he jumped up in pain, and the supervisor's devilish voice sounded next to his ear: "Go to the quarry immediately, Master Lusimens Nice to speak!"

Colebus had been scared by the supervisor's leather whip for a long time, dragging his sore legs, enduring hunger, swaying out of the hole, and accidentally knocking down the companion beside him, he subconsciously reached out and pulled, As a result, he was also brought down to the ground, and tossed for a while before he got up, during which he was subjected to several feet of the supervisor.

Crotone captives, like ants, staggered out of the quarry caves and gathered on this circular quarry square.

The marble material that has just been dug is piled here.On the whistle tower at the entrance, the director of the Turiri mine, Lucy Niemes, impatiently looked down at the scene below: "It's too slow, you go to hurry and make these Crotone soft eggs fast One point!" he ordered from his opponent.

As a result, Crotone was driven to the outpost by the supervisors with sticks and leather whips like a lamb.

This similar scene was also staged in front of the Turiri copper mine and the site of the Temple of Hades.

"The Crotonians, based on the sins you once committed against Turui, I wish I could not keep you here for a hundred years! Let your dirty flesh and blood turn into sewage and your fragile bones into powder! …” Lucimens cursed viciously: “But the great Hades dropped kindness, and let us the Dionysian Union sign a truce with the damn Crotone, and... became... an alliance, now You...can...go home..."

Lucy Mennis said these words reluctantly, and suddenly there was a dead silence on the court, and the captives could not believe their ears.

"He...what did he say?" the companion next to him asked with a trembling voice.

"He said...he said we can go home..." Kolbs murmured, and then he seemed to react, grabbing his companion's shoulders: "Have you heard?! We can go home." !We are free!..."

After countless people confirmed that the news was true, they shed tears with excitement, they hugged each other, cheered, kissed the land under their feet, closed their eyes and felt the warm sunshine... These days, they were like slaves in dark caves Mining, you have to endure the beatings of the supervisors, you can't eat enough, you can't sleep well... let these well-respected Crotone citizens almost collapse, they have never felt that freedom is so precious as it is today.

Lucien Mennis snorted a few times and didn't want to watch it again: "Bring bread and cheese over and let them eat."

"They're full, what if they resist?! We can't deal with so many captives!" the men said hesitantly.

"Isn't that okay!" Lucien Mennis sneered: "They destroyed the contract just signed, and we just wiped them all out!"

"understood."

"When they finish eating, let them take a shower in the river and change their clothes so that the people from Crotoli say we abuse the captives."

This is not called abuse!The men sullied in their hearts.

With the arrival of Crotone’s envoy, the captives completely believed in the fact that “Dionysia and Crotone were allied and they were going home”, and under the protection of heavily armed Dionyan soldiers, they lined up. Turri Port...

Why protect?Fearing that the radical Turuis would hurt these unarmed and weak Crotone prisoners.This situation was experienced once by Colebus six months ago, but this time the Turiris did not cause any trouble for this huge team to return to Crotone, even as he worried, even when they arrived at the port. There are very few Turiris that I saw.

Where have the Turiri people gone?This thought only flashed through Colebus's heart, and now he was completely occupied by joy: he could go home smoothly!

The troop carrier left the port of Turiri, and the captives were completely relieved.

"This place, I will never come again!" A captive shouted ventily and was nodded by most soldiers including Koblebus: two wars, two captives, especially the second, It's a nightmare day, they don't even want to remember.Each of them has more or less fear of the Dionysian Union in the bottom of their hearts!

In fact, in the second Crotone war, Dionysia treated Crotone prisoners in this way because of a last resort. After all, the management of tens of thousands of captives was already very difficult. Dionysia’s own male citizen Most of them fought abroad.At the same time, Crotone's fleet also raided Turitch's coast from time to time. Once these captives were rioted, the consequences would be unimaginable.Therefore, the senate decided to detain them like mountain slaves in mountain mines away from the coast, and crush them with harsh environment, hunger and heavy labor...

……………………

The people of Dionysia have no intention of paying attention to the captives of Crotone who left Turriy, because their hero is about to return!

The Third Army left 3,000 people under the leadership of Yasisters to temporarily guard the city of Asprostum.The First Army left 2,000 people under the leadership of Hilos to temporarily manage Crimea.All other troops returned.
