Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

And in the cheers of the Samonite warriors, Torek was full of excitement, he knew that the deficiencies of the Samonite people's poor siege had been filled by this terrible thing, and the city of Poseidonia had already been taken down. full grasp. And occupying this city, not only has a better port, it is convenient for the Syracuses to deliver more food to them, and his poor clansmen can also loot and get more income...

……………………

In the evening, a family dinner was being held at the consul's mansion in Turii, attended not only by Davos' two wives, adopted daughter Cynthia, adopted son Adoris, son Clotokatax, but also in the backyard. Azuna, head of housekeeping, Ribazzo, head of slavery in the front yard, and Aristillas, head of intelligence.

The main meal tonight is beef and mutton, so everyone has a wooden table, a copper pot and an iron stove in front of them, except for Clotokatax, because he is still young, he eats the shabu by himself. Christoya is not very relieved, but Christoya herself is now nine months pregnant, and it is not convenient to move, how can she still have the energy to take care of him. And little Chloe's other mother, Agnes, was pregnant for more than 2 months, when the pregnancy reaction was the most violent. Even beef and mutton could not be seen, so she could only replace it with vegetables such as fruits, fungi, and sea vegetables. unable to look after him. So little Chloe sat with Azuna.

At this time, Davos, who was sitting in the first place, looked at everyone and said seriously: Tomorrow I will lead the team to leave Turii and go to Potentia, and I can't take care of my home. Cristoia and Agnes They are all pregnant, so things at home still need the careful care of Azuna, Ribazzo and Aristillas, the three of you! Here, I would like to thank you in advance! He said, holding up the wine .

While he was speaking, both Cristoia and Agnes looked at their husbands with concern, with unconcealed worries on their beautiful faces.

Azuna and Ribazzo hurriedly stood up.

Davos hurriedly waved: Sit down! Sit down! You are all Dionia reserve citizens, and we are all a family, don't make yourself like a stranger! Learn from Aristy Lars!

Aristillas forced a smile on his stern face. The reason why he didn't stand up was because he was not used to the humility of Azuna and the others who used to be a citizen of Katanai. , responded earnestly: Sir, don't worry. I will let my subordinates closely monitor the entire Turii, and once I find something abnormal, I will go to Kapus and Kunogo immediately as you said. Rata, remove the hidden danger!

Okay! The safety of this home depends on you! Davers raised his glass, drank it, and refilled it.

Azuna said immediately: Master, I will take care of these female slaves in the courtyard and take care of the two ladies! And I will regularly invite Lord Helps to come and check, and there are Hades and Hera at home. The blessing of a god... Azuna looked at Cristoia and Agnes,

He said with a smile: When you come back, Master, the two ladies and the children will be healthy!

Okay! Asuna, if everything is okay, when I come back, I will reward you well! How about finding you a husband who satisfies you! Davos joked happily.

Azuna protested immediately: My lord, it's not fair that your dignified Consul Dionia is making fun of me!

Sir, you are busy every day, don't you know, Azuna already has a crush. ​​Kristoya whispered aside.

Oh, is it?! Davos was interested and asked quickly, Who is it? Can you tell me?

Azuna blushed, glanced at Aristillas at the next table, bowed her head and said nothing.

Davos's heart moved, and he didn't ask again: Come on, Asuna, thank you for taking care of the two ladies and children and drinking this cup!

Asuna finished her drink quickly.

Davos looked at Aristillas, who seemed to know nothing about it, and said to her: I give you a suggestion, you should go to Agnes for more advice, with the blessing of Hera, I am afraid of you. Won't your wish come true?

Asuna heard this and was greatly moved.

Unexpectedly Ai Genesse reminded bluntly: The love between the two is under the jurisdiction of Aphrodite, the god of love, and Hera is only responsible for marriage and family.

Love without marriage is a lie. Davers said half-jokingly and half-seriously: In Dionia, Hera is also responsible for pre-marriage love.

My lord, you don't need to worry about Asuna's affairs. It's my responsibility. Kristoya smiled, freeing Azuna from the embarrassment, and then said to Ribazzo seriously: Ribazzo, I will leave the affairs of the outer court to you. Don't let chores disturb me during this time.

Madam, don't worry, I will take care of it! This is my duty! Ribazzo drank the wine in his glass respectfully.

At this time, Cynthia said, Father, I will also take good care of my mother and younger brothers.

Davos listened with a look of joy: Okay! Good! Our daughter has grown up and can help the family! Come on, I'll give you a drink too!

Dad, Daddy, I want to drink this too, and I want to take care of Mommy too! Little Chloe also began to shout.

Good! Good! Good!... Davers shook his slightly drunk head, overjoyed.

……………………

Late at night, in Kristova's bedroom, Kristova's lazy voice sounded: I think you should accompany Agnes, she needs you more at this moment...

Don't talk, have a good rest. Davos patted her shoulder with his left hand around her white neck and said softly.

Cristoia turned slightly sideways, drilled her head into Davos's arms again, sniffed the breath on his body, and murmured, You said, if I have a daughter, it will be called Eunice, okay? ?

Eunice... Davos whispered the name (Eunice means happy victory), with a gentle smile on his face: Good name, what if it's a son?

That's called Apox (meaning courage). Cristoia said softly without hesitation, obviously she had already thought about it.

Davos Apox, Davos Crotokatax... Okay, let's call this name! Davos readily agreed.

But for a long time, Cristoia did not respond.

Davers looked down and saw that his wife was already asleep, and the pregnant woman at this time was very lethargic.

Davos gently straightened her sleeping position, kissed her affectionately on her plump and smooth pretty face, then put on Bolton and walked to the outhouse where Azuna was guarding.

Cristoia is asleep, where's the child?

Little Chloe is also asleep.

You take care of them both, I'll go see Agnes.

As soon as she entered the second wife's bedroom, she heard Agnes' soft and expectant voice: Davers, is that you?

Why don't you sleep yet?! That's not good for the child! Davers scold softly, lovingly picked her up beside the bed, and wanted to put her on the bed, but Agony was instead scolded by Agony. Si Lou grabbed her neck, and she whispered worriedly, I'm a little worried...

Davos hugged her delicate body and lay on the bed together: What are you worried about? There is nothing to worry about! With the blessing of Hades, your husband, I have not lost on the battlefield! I promise you, I will soon I'll be back!...

Davos' confident promise made Agnes' worry dissipated a little. She clung to her husband and asked softly for a long time, I... are my parents in danger?

Davos was taken aback. In fact, when Dionia and Syracuse broke out at war, Lijim was the most dangerous, cut off by Locri and his allies, far from the center of southern Italy, and most vulnerable to enemy attack.

But at this moment, Davos couldn't tell the truth, he said in a deep voice: Our southern Italian coalition will not easily let Syracuse threaten Lijim! However, for safety, you'd better persuade your family to arrive during this time. Turiyi to avoid it.

Turii has the Atili Cruise shipyard and it is more convenient to contact them.

Yeah! Agnes responded softly.

……………………

The next day, all the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Corps, who had been mobilized early for war, swore their oaths at the Victory Square in Turii, and then nearly 20,000 soldiers and the baggage battalion headed west.

The people of Turii and Amendolara came to see them off. In their opinion, this was the first time that the First and Second Legions had fought in a remote and unfamiliar area. The army has reached the farthest before, but it is a Greek city-state after all, and it is often traded, and it can be reached by boat in a day, but this time it is to fight in a strange mountainous area where the natives are rampant, and I miss and worry about my relatives. Naturally heavier.

So the people sent and sent, but they didn't want to leave for a long time.

At the end of the expedition team, Davos was saying goodbye to the elders: Lord Kunogolata, Lord Cornerus... Ladies and gentlemen, the politics of Dionia will be handed over to you first! Davos solemnly gave a military salute to the elders who saw him off.

Sir, if there is anything, we will send you to discuss it in time! Kunogolata promised.

Early win! Come back as soon as possible! Cornerus said expectantly.

Davos nodded and turned to Vespa: Don't worry, the Samone people will never be able to rush into our Lucania territory!

Lord Consul, please pay more attention to the Lucanians of Potentia! Hermon requested.

I'll try my best! Davos replied, he looked at Hieronymus and Kapus, and the two gave him a military salute. The military affairs had been arranged before, and he didn't need to say more.

His eyes finally stopped on Marigi and Plessinas, and both of them nodded slightly invisibly.
