Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Where is he now?" Daveus asked with interest.

"He had retired the year before and returned to Amendolara, but he was a man who couldn't help himself, and applied to the Ministry of Military Affairs to serve as a military trainer for Amendora..."

"Zantiparis in his 60s can still lead the army to kill enemies and make contributions to the kingdom. Kotisus is younger than him. I think his performance should be equally good, but..." Dafus asked with some uncertainty. : "He has repeatedly refused to serve as the regimental commander, will he agree this time?"

"Your Majesty, this time is different from the previous one. In the situation that you may face combat at any time, the First Army does not have the Chief of the Army. This is actually a big crisis for the First Army, and Kotisus as the First Army. The veteran will never stand by, let alone take over temporarily, I believe he should not refuse!" Alexis said firmly.

"Okay, it's him!" Daveus agreed very swiftly, and then asked again: "Which one to replace Prosius?"

Alexis said hesitantly: "How does His Majesty think of Matonis?"

"He is a general, and the charge is no problem, but he lacks the experience of commanding multiple regiments, and the Greek political environment is complex..."

Daveus said very tactfully, but Alexis understood, and he continued: "How about Olivers?"

"Olivers is indeed flexible, but he also lacks the experience of commanding multiple regiments, and at critical times he is sometimes not decisive enough, and now the army is facing Spartans..." Daveus said equally euphemistically.

"What about Lizaru?"

"You forgot that I specifically said last time not to send non-Greek citizens to fight, let alone to be the head coach of the army."

"Your Majesty, I was negligent! So...how about Silos?"

"How could Silos suddenly abandon the heavy duty of the chief executive of the Turiri region and go to Peloponnese to lead the army to fight, not to mention that he has left the front line for many years, I am afraid that he is a bit rusty about commanding the battle...not only him And so is Capps." Davers was a little dissatisfied with the candidates he mentioned and couldn't help saying, "How do you think of Patroclus?"

Alexis was already prepared, he immediately responded: "Patrolos is indeed a more suitable candidate, but he is now sitting in the Po River area, always fighting against the Agulians, and ensuring the stability of the Po River area. , It is really not appropriate to transfer them away at this time...Sectus is also in the Iberian region, and although Caldis is also capable, he lacks the experience of commanding multiple legions..."

Daveus looked at him, and the tone of his speech increased a little: "Is there so many generals in the kingdom, can't I find a suitable person?"

"Your Majesty, any of the generals mentioned above can be commander of any army, only because of the first expedition to Greece, in order to better show the strength of the kingdom to our motherland, our requirements are higher. "Alexis persuaded him in the same tone, he paused for a while, and then said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, I thought of a suitable person who should be able to meet your requirements!"

"Oh, you said."

"Printols." Alexis said in a firm tone: "Although he is now the chief of staff, he once served as the head of the fourteenth legion and also commanded many legions during the Western Mediterranean War. His performance is excellent. His majesty should be clearer than mine."

"But he is now the chief of staff and the military is heavy--"

"It can be temporarily taken over by Tolmed or Philius."

"Um..." Davers stroked his chin and said in a deep voice: "After I personally negotiate with Prentals and listen to his wishes, let's make a decision."

After watching Alexis walk out of the conference hall, Davers said softly with emotion: "Many old men in the military department are not willing to give young people more opportunities, and it seems that even Alexis is no exception. what."

At this time, Henripolis said, "Your Majesty, I think Lord Alexis and Prince Prentals are very close."

Hearing this, Daphes was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "The two of them have been friends for many years."

"Your Majesty." Hernipolis looked at Daveus and said with courage, "I also have a suitable person, I want to recommend it to you."

"Oh? Are you also selected?" Daveus got interested and smiled: "Tell me."

"I think Prince Crotocatax is suitable as commander of the expeditionary army."

The candidate named by Henripolis was beyond Davis's expectations. He looked at Henripolis but thought to himself: his son didn't return to Turrii long before, and had no contact with Henripolis. Is this just Hernipolis's own idea?

Daveus asked tentatively: "Clotto rarely goes to battle to kill the enemy, and he has no experience in commanding the army. How can he be the commander?! This is a life-and-death war, not a game!"

"His Royal Highness Clotto has no experience and can be assisted by Prentals. Your Majesty, did you not say that returning from His Highness Clotto in Rome is to let him take on a greater responsibility! It is your heir, the future King Dionysia, although you can’t win a battle on the battlefield like you, but at least have a certain influence on the army, otherwise you will face Alexis and Aminta in the future This is a military general who has decided to die for thousands of years. Can he calmly refute their suggestions and put forward his own opinions?" Henripolis said earnestly.

Daveus stared at him for a long time and sighed gently: "Only you in the whole kingdom can consider me like this!"

………………………………………………

At dusk, Davers returned to the mansion on the hill.

Dinner was the busiest time for the Daphes royal family. The large round dining table was filled with people: King Davos and two princesses, the Crotocatax couple and two children, the Apox couple and A child, the couple Yunis (last year, Yunis married the famous sculptor Alex of Tarantum), Briantes, Avia, and Cynthia and her two children, Adores' wife loves Dui and a child.

Since the children gradually grew up a few years ago and began to have their own families and careers, the Daves couple stepped into the old age and eager for the family to be prosperous and prosperous. However, the residence is often very deserted, so Davos hires the best kingdom The engineer designed according to the topography of the entire hill, and then Christosia invested heavily, hired a large number of construction teams, and built a number of residences on the hill according to the drawings.

The hill of the king is gentle, and the hilltop and the mountainside are suitable for building a large number of houses. Only because of the noble identity of Daveus, there is only one mansion in the entire hill.Because the funds were enough, only half a year later, there were several more mansions on the hills.

Then Davos forcibly issued orders to Apex and Antebris, asking them to move to the new residence. Later, after Yunis got married, they also performed the same. Although Antebris had some conflicts, in the end, they could not Never give up.

Davers also requested that the whole family should have dinner together at night.Sometimes Christoya would also ask Cynthia and Adoris to come to dinner. Since the Croto Katax family had just returned, Cynthia and Adores wife often came to meet these days.

"... The game is almost over, our team is still one point behind, but we still have the final attack, and we are only three meters from the end line, not far from the three meters, right?" Antebris asked the children around him Them.

"Yes!!" Several older children scrambled to answer, and the children shouted together.

"But-" Antebris stroked with both hands, and said seriously: "The opponent's players lined up a dense wall of people, plugged in front of us, there was no gap to pass through, what should I do?! The referee sounded After the whistle, the game started, our team's quarterback made a pass to the left winger, after distracting the opponent's attention, he quickly passed the rugby to the player beside him, the player who took the ball it is me!"

The children made a surprised sound.

"Time is running out. I took the ball, lowered my head, and with the help of my teammates, I arched forward. The opponent players were desperately blocking, and even several people pressed on me. I exerted my strength, Carrying them, just looking forward... I have feet in front of me, I can’t see where the end line is at all, I feel that the time is particularly long... Suddenly I heard a whistle, we are in touch! The game is over, we The Turri Football Team won the Kingdom Rugby Finals, and I, your uncle, also became the best players in this final!"

"Wow! Uncle is so amazing!!!" In the eyes of the children admiring, Antebris looked complacent.

"Isn't it just such an outstanding performance in the finals last year? Look at you, every day is bragging!" Yunis couldn't help saying: "I always think that the reason why you can finally break through is because of success. Your identity prevents Udie players from daring to hurt you—"

"You are a blasphemy against the holy rugby finals!" Ante Bristol was flushed with rage and stood up suddenly: "Eunice, you nonsense--"

"Okay!" Kristoa slammed the table hard and shouted: "Both of you will be quieter for me! Both are so big that they quarreled when they met, and did not set up a good one for the children. example!"

"It was she who first said—"

"You still say!" Christoya yelled again.

Antebris closed his mouth in grievance.
