436 Good news and bad news

"However, the restaurant is now facing a problem. There is a shortage of wheat flour and fish, and some of the food that customers want cannot be provided, which has caused many people to complain..." The restaurant supervisor introduced the situation.

"Alas, there is no way to do it! Because of the war, the supply of grain and marine fish in the entire Union is very tight, not only that we are sad..." Christosia sighed and said seriously: "I suggest A notice was posted on the door of a restaurant, explaining the reasons to the customers and apologizing to them. At the same time, customers were advised to order more food such as beef and mutton, such as beef and mutton, fried beef, roasted lamb...Andrea I wrote from Grummentum and told me that this year there are too many cattle and sheep raised in the Lucania region. If not consumed in large quantities, it is still a small matter for cattle and sheep to fall into the winter. It is more likely that they will encounter cold weather. A lot of freezing death, then the loss of the herdsmen will be great, so we have to buy as many animals as possible from Lucania...

And considering that this is a difficult period, the people of the entire Union are facing the difficulty of food shortage. At this time, if we obtain high profits, we will be resented by the people!So I decided to lower the prices of all foods and only make a small profit to pay the employees.Before the end of the war, we will spend the difficult time with the people of Dionysia!"

"Yes, ma'am! I'll do it immediately!" The restaurant supervisor's response was much simpler.

Christoya yawned, and Asuna saw that the hostess was a little sleepy, she immediately stepped forward to suspend the meeting and asked the supervisors to go back first.

"Ma'am, you are about to give birth, so why bother! You have to think about the children in your stomach!" Asuna supported her while complaining.

Christoya gently supported her bulging belly with her hands, and said softly: "If such a big event occurs in the alliance, things will naturally increase and you can't deal with it. In a few days, Andrea will come. , Take over these things for me temporarily, I can give birth to the baby with peace of mind..."

"Mrs. Andrea is coming, that's great!" Azuna said happily, she helped Kristia walk slowly in the backyard to eliminate Kristia because of the sedentary just now This caused swelling of the legs.

"Andrea also needs to bring her two children back to Turri (one of them is the son of the ex-husband) so that Bagul’s father can meet his grandson and meet his miss. …"Christoya felt a little emotion: Andrea had been married before, had a child, and was married to a heterogeneous leader family, which could be accepted by the huge family of Bakul and get along well, Andrea Ya is a great effort...

"Adoris and Little Clo will be very happy!" Azuna smiled.

Kristoa suddenly remembered and asked, "Is Agnes back?"

"Not yet. Madam, I wonder if it is because of the defeat of the battle, not only the increase in the number of people worshiping the Temple of Hades, but also the increase in the number of believers in the Temple of Hera, so Mrs. Agnes has not been busy... "Asuna guessed.

"Nonsense!" Christosia frowned slightly, and said anxiously: "She is pregnant, how can she ignore her body! Send someone to call her back and say it is my order!"

"Yes!" Azuna knew that the hostess said nothing, and was busy calling other slaves.

At this time, the backyard door was pushed open.

"Mother, I'm back." Cynthia, carrying a school bag with school supplies, took the initiative to catch up and help Christoya.

"What about Adoris?"

"He and his classmates play rugby in the school square."

"I hope he doesn't go home until dark like yesterday."

"He won't, I have warned him." Cynthia comforted Christoya, and then asked with concern: "Mother, did your father have any news? This afternoon, everyone knows of our defeat in the Siricine , I didn’t even want to go to class anymore, they asked me one after another,'When will my father return with his army?'"

Christosia turned her head to look at her adopted daughter who was almost on her shoulders, remembering her alertness to Daveus when she first met, but now she is proud of him and can’t help but feel relieved: “Don’t worry, your father Will soon win back!"

"Hmm!" Cynthia nodded vigorously.

"Mom, I'm back!" There was a clear voice from outside.

"This little trick is back!" Christopher's face showed a spoiled smile. During this time, due to the approach of childbirth, Christosia could no longer accompany the energetic little Crowe, so she had to let the slave girl wear it every day. He went to the square to play.

"Mother, I'll go with my younger brother." Cynthia stepped forward wisely.

Then the female slave who came in shouted excitedly: "Madam, good news! Good news! Lucania's messenger came back and said that the master had fought a great battle in Poseidonia! Said yes... Thousands of enemies..."

"It's so good!" Christosia couldn't help but shouted. How could she not worry about the leader Davis for so long!But as a mistress, she usually has to calm down, but this time I really feel relieved...

As soon as she shouted this sentence, as soon as she felt relaxed, she felt a heat flow between her legs and her abdomen began to swell.

Once she had a childbirth experience, she immediately stood firm, supported the stone table with her hand, and said as steady as possible: "Azuna, Azuna, I'm going to give birth, go quickly, go and notify Hulpes ..."

Just as the Davis mansion was in a hurry for the delivery of Christoya, the news that "the governor led the army to defeat the Samone in Lucania" was like a warm breeze that calmed the people of Turui and began to panic. Emotions.Among the people worshipped in the Temple of Hades, someone for the first time publicly shouted the slogan "Let Lord Daphes become king".

However, at dusk, the messengers from the south broke the people’s calming mind once again, “The Siracusa army broke through the Silitian city, not only looted the city, but also turned the city’s people into slaves. "This shocking news shocked the people of Turiri and the senate again, so that the veterans who were still hesitating quickly made a decision: they agreed to Felix's proposal and sent a new Sixth Army Corps to the country. Rimisa, guarding the security of Dionysian territory.

……………………………

On this night, when the Turiris were tossing and turning, it was difficult to fall asleep, and a newborn baby fell to the ground in the Davers Mansion.

"Ma'am, a healthy and lovely girl!" Azuna hugged her newborn child who had wiped her body clean, ligated her umbilical cord, and wrapped it in clean linen. She came carefully to the bedside and showed it to Klee Stoia looks.

The tired and tired Kristoa turned her head sideways and looked at her daughter who was scratching with both hands and crying, and a kind smile on her sweaty face appeared.

"... Yunis... her name is Yunis..." Christosia remembered the agreement with Davis.

The people who had been anxiously waiting outside the bedroom were relieved to hear the good news of "Mother and Daughter Peace".

In this day and age, having a baby is a big and difficult thing.Dystocia is a common occurrence in childbirth, although Davers told Helps and other doctors about the fertility precautions he heard from his previous life, and he also proposed to bring together the experienced midwives of Dionysia after professional training. In order to make it a doctor who is responsible for delivery in the hospital... The implementation of these measures has allowed Dionia's newborn mortality to be controlled, but its mortality is still not low.

"Little Crow, you have a younger sister!" Agnes said softly, stroking the small Crow's head.

"Sister?! Can I often play with her?" Little Crowe asked happily.

"Not now, just wait for her to grow up." Agnes explained to him, while covering her slightly bulging belly, she sincerely hoped that she could have a baby in a few months.

"Great, it's a younger sister!" Adoris also shouted happily. Little Kloh haunted him every day. He didn't want to have another brother, so he was annoying.

Cynthia is also very happy, she can finally have a small classmate like other female classmates.

Yunis has been welcomed by her family since she was born.

……………………………

The next day, when the Turriy’s House of Elders was convening the newly built Sixth Army soldiers in Victory Square, preparing to send it south to Crimea, the emissaries of Siracusa Damocles headed into Kauren Nia city.

Damocles brought Dionysius' ultimatum to Kaurnia: surrender immediately, otherwise the city of Sirith would be its role model!

For a long time, as the forefront of the Crotone alliance against Crooke, Kaurenia's people are full of confidence in the defensive city, mainly because of the full support of Crotone and other allies behind it.But this time the General Assembly failed, Dionia and Crotone retreated, Siliting and Trina were captured, and the power to support it was lost.

Now Kolenia is in deep siege.And they have long heard that Siracusa has a strong siege ability, and once captured the Sicilian town of Mothia, the Carthaginians, and the news they just came to surprise them: Siletine fell behind in half a day. (Syracuse and Lokri’s army sealed the city of Colenia so that no one knew that the fall of Silitian was due to Dionysius’s betrayal), causing the people of Colenia to lose their defense of the city. At the same time of confidence, the tragic encounter of the Silitians terrified them.

The Cologneians believe that even if Dionysia and Crotone have the opportunity to counterattack in the future, by then Cologne had already fallen, and they themselves had become slaves and were sold far away to the city of Cologne. Even after the restoration, it has no meaning to them...

Finally, the Civic Assembly unanimously decided: Surrender to Syracuse!
