Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

After the Western Mediterranean War, Davers issued two reform measures to the army: one is that the team officer must be studied and evaluated to promote the general, and the other is that the officer can successfully promote the general as long as the conditions are met, but not necessarily immediately Obtain a definite military position.Because there are so many general positions in the kingdom, there is not necessarily a vacancy, you need to wait, and often need to teach in the military camp for months or even a year before you can take office.

Obviously, Patroclus and Sextus did not expect that they would be so lucky. Although they tried hard to suppress, the joy was still overwhelming.

Daveus stepped forward and took a brand new helmet with a purple and red crown from Maltius, brought it to Patroclus, and then said quietly: "Congratulations, Pat Chief Roqueros! This time you go to Rome to take over the fourteenth legion. Now the Gauls frequently invade Etrunia’s northern border and may go south at any time, regardless of whether the kingdom is sending reinforcements to help the Etruscans defend The border and the Latham region are very likely to be the frontiers of war! Therefore, after you get there, you must not only step up the training of soldiers with the military trainers, but also always be vigilant and work hard to think about the strategy of the enemy. The Fourteenth Army can be the main force to defeat the Gauls!"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will definitely lead the Fourteenth Legion to ensure the safety of the Kingdom's territory and protect the Kingdom's people from harm!" Patroclus powerfully performed a military salute and answered solemnly.

Daphes nodded, then turned to Sextus, and took another legion helmet, put it on him, and said, "Congratulations, Captain Sextus! But as the Eighteenth Legion The new chief, your task is not easy! The southern territory of Iberia is the most unstable region of the kingdom. There are many indigenous people around the border who do not have good intentions for the kingdom, and many people in the territory do not completely understand the kingdom. Come back. When you get there, while working with local officials, you must actively go deep into various places to investigate and understand the people's feelings so that you can have your own independent judgment.

While strengthening the training of legionnaires, we must also make full use of the time of military training and use various methods to enhance the recognition of the citizen soldiers to the kingdom. I hope that the eighteenth legion will become the southern region of Iberia under your leadership. Mainstay!Of course, the Kingdom is always paying attention to the situation there, and will not let you fight alone!"

The words of Daphes made Sectus feel pressured. When he still slammed his right fist towards his left chest, he said firmly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely complete the task and keep it well. Southern Iberia!"

Crotocatax walked out of the Roman City Hall, and the breeze blowing on his face lifted his tired spirit. He nodded to the court guards who guarded the two sides, and then went down the stairs.

Every time I stepped on the Roman Forum, I felt a sense of pleasure in Crotocatax, because this old square that had not been renovated for decades had undergone a major renovation when he was the Roman construction officer, and it was completely new. , Seeing the people walking and playing happily on the square, he couldn't help but show a smile, often at this time he would also look subconsciously to the north, the temple group on the Capitolin mountain radiates under the sunset light The magnificent brilliance, which also has a lot of his hard work.

Because of this, he was loved by the people of Rome, and all pedestrians passing by greeted him warmly, and he did not tire of his enthusiastic response.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the people would never get close to him. This was because there was an attempted assassination of Croto Kataks two years ago. After the incident became serious, the majority of the Roman people knew about this treatment. The gentle and kind young official was actually the eldest son of King Davers, and he understood why he always followed a group of guards.After the assassination occurred, Crotocatax asked the inspectorate and the court not to over-expand the case when pursuing the offender involved in the matter, nor to harass the offender's family... This practice has been increased even more People love him.

Krotokatax’s mansion is not far from the city hall, on the top of Palatine Hill, separated from other residences, and guarded by the court guard.

Crotocatax walked into the house, and his wife Dido immediately left the main building and greeted him.

Looking at the smiling wife, Croto Katakos had a dream in his heart: when he learned that his father was engaged to him a few years ago, and the woman was still a Carthage, she was several years older than himself , His heart is quite resistant.But since childhood, he has always obeyed his father's decision, so he did not express clear opposition, but his attitude towards his wife was cold for a period of time at the beginning of his marriage.However, during constant contact, his attitude has changed. He deeply feels that his wife is not only beautiful, but also very self-cultivated and caring about him. At the same time, she is still a very intelligent and powerful woman. Although the women of Dionysia are much more open than traditional Greek women, outstanding women like Dido are still very rare in the kingdom. It is these unique personalities that strongly attracted Croto Katak Si, the weight of Dido in his heart gradually surpassed his sister Cynthia.

"You're back! You must be hungry, dinner is ready!" Dido looked at the tired husband and stepped forward to hold his arm, said with concern.

"Hmm... what's so delicious today?" Crotocatax asked casually, holding his wife's hand.

"There is the fried beef you like to eat, and the cod sent by your mother." Dido answered.

"Cod with salted salt?" Cod is delicious, but it is not produced in the Mediterranean, and it is not easy to catch. And once it leaves the sea, it is easy to spoil and is not easy to preserve in a short time, which makes cod a higher price. A delicacy, from Turui to Rome, it takes three or four days at the fastest if you take the Clipper. If it is not salted, it will smell bad, so Crotocatax will have this question. .

"It's not salted." Dido explained to her husband in surprise, and explained: "Your mother put the cod in a clay pot, filled with ice cubes, then sealed it, and wrapped several layers of cloth, It has been placed in a cool place on the bottom of the boat, so after delivery, the ice has not completely melted, and the cod is relatively fresh. I let the chef make fried cod..."

"It's too extravagant, just toss a few fish, so toss!" Crotocatax frowned.

"This fish is not for you." Dido gave him a white look and touched his abdomen. "After Chris was sent to Turri, your mother got it from Peloia (Dido's confidant maid). I knew I was pregnant again, so I sent a lot of condolences, not only this cod!"

Crotocatax quickly changed his mind: "That's the time to send! That's the time to send! You see my mother still cares about you!"

Dido was silent for a while, and said softly: "It would be better if Chris was not taken..."

"Parents, they miss the grandson so much! Besides, Chris is haunting you every day, you can't rest well, it's not good for the children in your stomach, you forgot how the doctor reminded us last time!... …"

"You're right, I shouldn't mention this matter again. Let's go to dinner first, otherwise the dishes will be cold." Dido also simply went into the restaurant with her husband.

"Come, have another one." Crotocatax forkd another piece of cod and put it in Dido's plate.

"I'm full and can't eat anymore." Dido returned the plated cod to Crotocatax.

"I'm full so soon? You are pregnant now, and you should eat more." Crotocatax persuaded with concern.

"I've only been for more than three months, and I don't have such a big appetite. Please eat quickly. You didn't eat much just now."

"Then you go to the yard for a walk, it's good for your health."

"Huh." Dido nodded in response, looking at her husband who was eating fish, her eyes were full of love: when she promised King Daveus to marry Croto Catax, she was completely forced by the situation and was getting married. She didn’t even know that her husband was not satisfied with this marriage, but at that time she knew that Croto Kataks had become herself and the entire Margonide family in the Kingdom of Dionia Depends, so she tried her best to make this young husband fall in love with herself, and in the process, she gradually fell in love with him, not only because of his identity, his appearance, but also because of his Tenderness and his respect for women.In this era, whether it is in Dionysia or Carthage, it is rare that men who truly respect women are one of the reasons why the proud and independent Dido has never been married, and Kloto Katak Under the influence of Davis since childhood, this habit is deep in the bone marrow, so Dido feels very lucky.

Of course, there was always a sense of uneasiness in her heart. After all, she was several years older than Klotokatax, and now she is almost 30, and her mother-in-law Kristoa seems to have not always made a good impression on her. , So she not only cares about her husband in life, but also tries to help him in her career. She believes that even if she is old and dying in the future, then Crotocatax is not willing to leave herself. .

"Today, Konya came to me." Dido said softly.

"Cornia?" Crotocatax couldn't remember who he was.

"Wife of Judge Lisnius Stolo, Roman Judge."
