Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Sister!" In front of so many juniors, Agnes's face couldn't be held anymore.

Christoya knew too much about Agnes's temperament and immediately changed the subject: "Okay, let's go to the zoo--"

"Mother, I won't go." Cynthia interjected.

"This time we are together to go to the zoo to play, it is for you, how can you not go--" Christoya was a little unhappy, but seeing Cynthia's sad expression, she slowed down and persuaded: " Your father told me that although the Gauls were coming, your husband led a huge army of more than 50,000 people. He also ordered that the nearby twelfth legion should rush to Rome and return to your husband. Command... I heard that although the Gauls were fierce, they were poorly equipped. In the face of the elite troops commanded by your husband, they would definitely be defeated, so rest assured!"

"Mother, I know all this, but I still worry about it, so I don't have the mood to play at this critical time..." Cynthia was hesitant.

Christoya asked in surprise: "In the past, your husband went out to fight, haven't you seen you so worried?"

"Mother, before Patroclus was an officer of the military team, injured in the battle or... it was our family's business. Now he is the commander of the coalition forces in northern Dionysia, which is related to thousands. The safety of the family and the northern part of the kingdom... So, how can I not worry about it!" Cynthia said, sighing again.

After listening to Christoya, she seemed to remember something, and she sighed, and solemnly said: "In the past, when your father led the army to go out to fight, which one is not related to the life and death of the kingdom, I love you and your mother. Don’t you worry? But how do we do it? Try to take care of everything at home, and try not to think about this troublesome thing, to ensure your health... If your father on the front line learned that I and Agnes disease Down, can he fight with all his heart!"

"Don't worry your husband, don't think about war, find something to relax yourself...in the end, your husband will be blessed by Hades!" Agnes also persuaded.

Obviously, Cynthia listened to the words of the two mothers, and her worried expressions faded a lot. She was about to agree to go to the zoo. Suddenly, the wooden door of the inner courtyard was pushed open, and the court chief Ribazo hurriedly entered the backyard, saluting excitedly. Said: "His Royal Highness, Princess Cynthia, Dajie! Lord Patrocros led the army to defeat the Gauls who invaded Etruscans!"

When Cynthia heard it, her face was suddenly joyful, and she even had tears in her eyes because she was too excited.

"Daddy fought a big victory! Daddy fought a big victory!" Palpilas cheered.

"I said that Hades would bless." Agnes looked calm.

"What's the specific situation?" Christopher smiled, and asked her daughter again.

Ribazzo responded immediately and respectfully: "I heard that it was our Allied Lien Lien, who had completely defeated the Gauls who invaded Etruria... After receiving the report, Your Majesty was very pleased and had placed 5th The rotating chairman and several ministers of the Ministry of Military Affairs are summoned to the palace to discuss matters."

With that said, he looked at Cynthia again: "Your Majesty knows that Princess Cynthia is in the mansion, so I specifically hurried back to inform you so that you don't have to worry."

"Look, how much your father cares about you!" Kristoa gave Cynthia a strange look.

"Thank you Lord Ribazo!" Cynthia wiped the tears from her eyes and saluted Ribazo wholeheartedly.

Ribazzo hurriedly flashed off, and said repeatedly, "Princess, this is what I should do, and I don't deserve any thanks."

"Okay, can I go to the zoo now? It's all because of you. We have been in such a long time. Younis and Aviaia may have to wait anxiously." Christopher complained pretending to be dissatisfied. .

"Mother, it's my fault. Let's go now!" Cynthia smiled, then squatted down and extended her hand, said softly: "Chris, let the aunt come to lead you, let's run faster, earlier Hurry to the zoo and go to see the elephants, OK?"

"I want to see the lion."

"no problem!"

"And hippo."

"can!"

...

Cynthia took the bouncing Chris and walked quickly out of the backyard with a laugh.

Christoya looked at Agnes in a happy mood: "This morning, Apox went to the academy, Antebris went to practice, and the house was full of women. Let’s play in the zoo. one day!"

Palpilas gently pulled Christoya's hand and said seriously: "Grandma, Chris and I are men."

"Oh, that's right, plus you two little warriors." Kristoa nodded his forehead with his finger and smiled more happily.

………………………………………

Last year, after Daveus’s proposal, Christoya immediately began to act. After repeated discussions and surveys, she chose the hilly land near the Krati River to the south of the Turiri Rock Mine to bring a zoo to build. The stone and large amount of water, as well as transportation are more convenient.

Until now, the zoo is still under construction and has not been opened to the public, but there are already elephants, lions, hippos, crocodiles, etc... Many animals, all of which are allies (such as Egypt and Mauritania), have heard that King Davers has Demand in this regard was specially sent.

Christosia and his party were under the guard of the court guards, while riding in a carriage to the zoo, Davers was discussing with the ministers in the palace.

"Your Majesty, it turns out that your decision is correct. Patroclus is indeed an excellent military commander! I originally thought that although he led a large number of army soldiers, most of them were recruits, and the sources are still very complicated. It is also the Gauls feared by various tribes in central Italy, so before our analysis, we believe that with the strength of the current coalition forces in northern Dionia, if you adopt a defensive posture, it is not a problem to guard the Roman area, but if you want to repel the The Gauls raging in Etrunia are more difficult. And we also think..."

The Secretary of State Alexis hesitated and said frankly: "It was not long before the 14th Army Commander Patroclus took office, and he had no previous experience in commanding multi-Army combat, and he was relatively young, I am afraid that he could not let the Allied generals We are completely obedient, so it was recommended that His Majesty send a more experienced veteran to replace him as the commander of the northern coalition. (Since the Fourteenth Army is located in the Rome area, the Ministry of Military Affairs stipulates that the head of the army has the command of the Allied army in an emergency. The right to defend the enemy), without His Majesty’s perseverance, I am afraid this victory will not come so fast!..."

Daveus listened calmly. In fact, the reason why he insisted that Patroclus continue to command the coalition was not because he had absolute confidence in his son-in-law, but because Patrocros was appointed tenth. The commander of the Fourth Army and Sectus served as the head of the eighteenth army. It was the beginning of his planned injection of fresh blood into the army and the gradual replacement of the older generation of officers. Naturally, it was also under great pressure. More than a year later, he sent veterans to take over command, which would not only dampen the confidence of the young generals, but also disrupt his original plan, so he also supported Patroclus to protect his face.

Of course, Daves at this time was not as affected by the history of the previous life as before the Western Mediterranean War. After defeating Rome and Carthage, and the rapid development of the kingdom in recent years, he was deeply aware of Dioni The strength of the Asian kingdom has far surpassed that of Rome and Carthage in this period in the history of the previous life. In all aspects of the army’s military construction, weaponry research, strategic tactics, etc., it has won the entire Mediterranean Sea. The Gauls, who caused a lot of trouble in Rome, were only a small problem for Dionysia at this time. Even if the northern coalition suffered a small setback, it would not have much impact on the kingdom, but would Let these allies be more united around the Kingdom of Dionia due to fear of Gauls.

It's just that he never expected that Patroclus' performance far exceeded his expectations. He even defeated the main force of the Gauls in less than a month, which made him feel very satisfied. He had to work hard at this moment. It suppresses the complacency in my heart.

"Your Majesty, according to the battle report, although the commander of the Patroclus Army is young, he is very calm and experienced. He quickly marched to the vicinity of Volsena, but without relying on the soldiers, he immediately led the army to attack, but instead built a camp to lure the enemy. The offensive, through the small victory of the defensive battle, won the trust of the allied generals, and the morale of the soldiers was also boosted. Then he deliberately retreated and withdrew to the south of the Tiber, making the Gauls think that the Dionysian army was already timid , So he dare to boldly attack Walsenne, and as a result, he took advantage of the Gauls' days of hard work and exhaustion and slumber, and once again led the army to return quickly and raid the Gauls' camp..."

The new chief of staff Pringles carefully analyzed: "Although this glorious victory was also foolish and arrogant with the Gauls themselves, not only did they not fight carefully after encountering my powerful coalition, they only knew to blindly attack, There is no statute about marching camps, but in turn it can be seen that the commander of the Patroclus understands not only his own soldiers, the situation of the Allies, but also the situation of the Gauls, so every decision made can be so consistent The battle conditions at that time made the victory so easy. It can be said that it won the essence of the "Military Law." Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Kingdom has an excellent military commander and is so young!"
