Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Ivia, who was still confused before, immediately held the meat bun and took a few bites, and Agnes said quickly: "Don't worry, eat slowly, be careful!"

"Little Bout, how did your brother do it, even trying to lie to my sister's breakfast." Cynthia criticized with a smile.

Facing Cynthia, Briantes did not refute, but bowed his head and said nothing.

...

Daveus looked at all this with a smile, this time of breakfast and dinner every day was his most relaxed moment.

"Cynthia, after having breakfast, go to the bank of the port with me and listen to their financial report for the first half of the year." Christoya said while interjecting with a cloth towel.Although Asuna left, Cynthia grew up, and she is her own family, and she is more knowledgeable. In the past few years, she has become a good assistant under the intentional cultivation of Christoya.

"Okay, mother." Cynthia replied.

"Ah..." Ivia said busy when she heard: "I'm going to go with sister Cynthia." Of these children, Ivia was still under the age of school and usually stayed at home, Kris Toya and Agnes each have something to do, more Cynthia is taking her, so she is very sticky to Cynthia.And today Molina was too fierce when she called her to get up, and she did not want to stay at home alone.

Cynthia understood her psychology a little bit, so she said to Christoya, "Mother, shall I go with Avia?"

Kristoa looked at Avia.

Aviaia blinked her eyes wide and looked pitifully at her other mother.

"You have to be obedient when you get there, and you are not allowed to yell." For Avia, Christoia was actually at ease, because the child seemed very quiet everywhere.

"Hmm!" Aviaia nodded vigorously.

Agnes thanked Christoya.

"Ai Weiya, you can't do without the elder sister, what will you do when the elder sister gets married?" Yunis said.

As soon as Ivia heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red.

"At that time, Aviaia can still visit her sister often, and the sister will come back often. She won't leave us..." Agnes was busy comforting her daughter.

At the same time, Crotocatax coughed repeatedly, spraying milk on the dining table.

"I was choked just now," Crotocatax explained busy.

Christoia immediately threw a vague glance at Daveus.

Davies was relieved for the most part. He had been observing since he entered the restaurant. Except for the gaffe just now, Davies basically did not find that the child showed any abnormality, which just showed that his self-control is very strong. Make Davers proud.

"Well, Crow, you are about 16 years old, and you will have formal military training. I'm going to customize a heavy infantry equipment for you. Do you have any requirements?" Davers asked.

"Isn't the Dionysian military law not stipulating that the weapons and equipment of legionaries owned by citizens must meet the requirements, and they should not claim to modify the size, color, and pattern indiscriminately?" Crotocatax asked doubtfully.

"That means that the appearance, size, and color of weapons and equipment must be consistent with those of other soldiers in the legion, but you can add or modify something to enhance their performance and increase the comfort of use, such as wearing a helmet The addition of cloth pads can quickly absorb sweat and reduce the impact of external forces on the head. For example, to reduce the amount of linen glue of linen breastplate and put hippo leather on the lining seam, this ensures the thickness is uniform, but its protection ability is greatly increased …" Daveus explained in detail to his son some tips for customizing weapons and equipment.

Crotocatax listened carefully for a while, and said without hesitation: "Father, you don't need to be so troublesome, you can just customize it as usual, so that my armor shield spear is the same as other citizens."

"Clow, you should—" Christosia listened to them, busy persuading.

Daveus said happily: "Boy, you are doing right! Only if you are not special, can you be in harmony with your teammates, and your team can quickly form a whole. When fighting, your comrades-in-arms It will not hesitate to resist the spear speared by the enemy in a crisis..."

Crotocatax listened carefully to his father's teachings.

Seeing this scene, Kristoa is not good enough to persuade.

"Dad, I have to customize a shield spear like my second brother!" Briantes shouted.

"Daddy didn't make a set for you."

"But it's made of wood--"

"Because you are young, you can't take a real iron shield spear. Can you lift the pair of big hammers that Dad put in the courtyard?"

Briantes shook his head.

"When you reach the age of your brother Crow, you have enough strength to lift it, and then Dad will also customize a set of real shield spears for you, okay?" Daveus persuaded the child patiently.

"it is good!"

"Bout, do you want to be a soldier or a commander-in-chief general?" Daveus continued to ask.

"Of course it is the general, how magnificent that is!"

"Then you have to study at school now. Only by learning literacy, can you understand the commands issued by the commander; by learning the math, you can know how to line up troops; by learning the debate, you can convince the soldiers to obey Your order. So you must study hard after you come to school, and don’t make fun, you will be able to become a general in the future, okay?" Davis also took the opportunity to persuade Briantes patiently, although his child is old It was small, but too energetic and daring. After going to school for half a year, the class was disturbed. The teacher had reacted to Christoya several times.

Briantes nodded inexplicably.

"Abo, don't just patronize and laugh. You have to help your younger brother. If the final tests of his elementary school are not good, I will ask you to settle the bill!" Daveus said seriously.

"Ah?!" Apox's face was sullen, but the corners of his mouth were still stained with grease and scum, which was quite funny, and immediately caused the brothers and sisters to laugh.

………………………………

After breakfast, Christoya took Cynthia and Cynthia took Avia to the port in a carriage.And Agnes sat in another carriage and hurried to the Temple of Hera in the east of Turi.

Crotocatax and Apox, Yunis, and Briantes were escorted by the guards and slaves to the river delta area of ​​the city of Turui.But when he got there, his brother and sister went to Turui School, and Crotocatax had to part ways to Dionia School.

After taking away his wife and children, Davers went to the Dionysian House under the protection of the court guard.

When the Dionysian Senate was built more than a decade ago, it was only the highest authority of the Dionysians, but now it is the place that represents the most powerful kingdom power among the Greek forces in the entire Western Mediterranean.Of course, the Dionysian palace built later divided part of its glory.

When the senate was built, its magnificent appearance was amazing, but it also made outsiders laugh: a newly formed alliance with less than two or three cities actually built a large meeting hall that is not worthy of its strength!

No one dared to say such strange things anymore, but lamented King Davers's foresight.

Although the territory continues to expand, the number of Dionysian veterans has not always been growing.After the Polyx case, and the loss of the Southern Italian War, the number of veterans also declined sharply. Even when the meeting was held, there were only a few people in the large venue. Everyone was either on the battlefield, or they were shouldering heavy tasks and were busy stabilizing the domestic order ... It was a period of Dionysia's most difficult period, and also a period when the elders played an important role. Eventually Dionysia survived and ushered in another great development of the kingdom.

Led by Laos, the confederate city-states of Trina, Castellon, Crotone, Kolenia, Heraclea, Metapontum successively merged into the kingdom successively; Lockley, Mai The three former Lockley allied city-states of Dema and Hibernian were forced to merge into the kingdom; Silitian, Enona, and Copsa were the territories occupied by Dionysian; Naxos, Katana, West Curry and Tauromenian also became part of the kingdom.

In the following ten years, while trying to restore the population, agriculture, and trade of newly acquired land, the Kingdom also used the Mesaphi and Puchti people to tear the agreement and attack the free city of Tarantum in Dionysia. By declaring war on these two regions at the same time.In the battle of Brindisi, Daveus led five legions and two cavalry legions to defeat the Mep Allied forces.While these two fierce races suffered heavy losses, the Kingdom of Dionysia began annual planned and stepped cannibalism.

Until the beginning of the previous year, there were no more independent towns in the two areas of Mesapi and Puceti.This also made the Great Council of the Dionysian Senate no longer so empty, and the number of veterans exceeded 200, occupying 15 seats in the venue. And an important task of his men.

"The king is here!" the order officer shouted loudly, and the noisy meeting place suddenly became quiet,

After Dionysia changed from an alliance to a kingdom, the biggest difference between the Great Hall and the past was that a cowhide chair was placed on the back of the center of the venue surrounded by semi-circular veteran seats. Seat of the King of Onia.At the rear of the wooden chair there is a gate, which is a passage exclusively for King Davis.

The four heavily armed court guards armed with shield spears entered the venue at a regular pace, standing on both sides in front of the leather chairs.

Then wear a white, embroidered black pattern of Burton, wear a crown made of gold in the shape of willow branches and leaves (the symbol of Hades is poplar), and hold a half-height gold scepter Dave Si walked calmly into the venue.
