Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 63 Carthage Sends Troops

Apart from Davos, Adoris was most afraid of Cynthia since he was a child. Seeing Cynthia's expression hesitant, he didn't dare to talk any more, took a sip of wine, and said, Sister... I want you to talk to me. Mother begged for mercy and asked her to help me go and tell my father to change my military affiliation to the First Army!

You want to go to Wolsey?! After listening to Adoris' words, Cynthia immediately understood his intention. These days, while the Ministry of Military Affairs is treating the wounded soldiers of the First Army, disposing of the remains of the deceased, and comforting their families, they are also selecting reserve soldiers to be sent to Wolsey to make up for the shortage of soldiers of the First Army. Serving in the First Corps, of course, also knows something about it.

Isn't the first legion fighting in the kingdom's army now, and they are in short supply. I'm free in Turui now, just in time to help your husband Patroclus. Doris said with a seemingly relaxed tone.

Your brother-in-law doesn't need your help! Cynthia said simply, how could she not know that Adoris had a normal relationship with her husband, and this was a complete excuse. And this time in the war in the north, the First Corps suffered a lot of casualties, and even some middle and senior officers were killed in the battle. Cynthia was also frightened when she heard the news. She prayed for Patroclus every day, and even hated herself for not having Hades' bloodline. , unable to provide more protection for her husband. However, Cynthia did not ask her father to transfer Patroclus back to Turii, because she knew that as the king's son-in-law, Patroclus's every move attracted attention, and it was impossible for her father to agree to her request.

So, just when Cynthia was worried about Patroclus, her own brother had to take the initiative to ask to go to the dangerous place in Wolsey, how could she not feel a little angry, she warned him: Adoris, you Learn like Kroto, stay in Turii without worrying about your parents!

I can't compare to little Chloe. He can be busy in the military affairs department, and I'm 21 years old, and I can only hang out in Turiyi every day. Adonis complained.

That's because your father has arranged for you several positions in the military affairs department, but you are unwilling to go! Cynthia reprimanded.

It's not that you don't know, I have a headache when I see words and numbers. I graduated from school with great difficulty, and what I'm best at is fighting! I can only use this to win honor for myself, and let those who always use strange Those who look at me know that I, Adoris, are not someone who can only rely on the prestige of my father to live mediocrely! Adoris exclaimed excitedly.

Cynthia heard his inner grievance from his words. She really didn't expect that her brother, who usually acts impulsive and reckless, would have such thoughts, and was silent for a while.

After a while, she looked at Adoris with a little more pity in her eyes, and asked softly, That's why you went to the household registration department not long ago and changed your name to Marcellis Adoris. ?

Our biological father's name has to be inherited (referring to the biological father of Adoris and Cynthia, the former consul Marcellus of Amendolara),

And my father also knew that, listening to my mother, he did not object. Adonis explained: I use this name, at least in the army can reduce some unnecessary attention.

I hope you don't regret it in the future. Cynthia sighed. Indeed, any general or team officer who sees the name of Davos Adoris on the roster of soldiers will probably be shocked, because the person with this surname is the only one in the kingdom, so they will naturally react to the name of Davos Adoris. Doris doubled his attention.

Cynthia stared at Adoris' slightly immature face: It takes a lot of courage to abandon this great surname, which shows that Adoris has indeed made a great determination!

Thinking of this, Cynthia said softly: I will go to my mother to help you persuade. But I suggest you have a good talk with your father to let him know what you really think in your heart. No matter what, my father has always loved Ours, he is worried about our safety, as long as he understands your true inner thoughts, I think he will have better arrangements for you.

Adoris pondered silently: Ever since he was a child, he had been afraid to see Davos, perhaps because he always had his real father in his heart, and did not really regard Davos as a father, so every time he saw Davos Davers, there is always guilt in his heart.

Seeing that he was hesitating, Cynthia reminded him again: Actually, you don't need to switch your legions so frequently. Alas, I heard that there will be a war with Carthage soon, I believe your second legion Soon to be sent to the front.

Adoris moved in his heart, but he said, Who knows how long the timid Carthaginians will have to wait to act.

The two chatted for a while, and Cynthia's personal slave girl appeared at the door of the living room. Cynthia saw her expression a little flustered and asked, What's the matter?

The slave girl hurried to Cynthia's side and whispered a few words.

After Cynthia heard it, she sighed: Adoris, news came from the city of Turii that the Carthaginians sent a large army to land in Sicily.

……………………………………

On January 1, 2014 (379 BC) in the Kingdom of Dionia, the area from the western end of Sicily to Carthage was very lively.

More than 300 warships were divided into two groups, lined up in the offshore waters on both sides of the western end of Sicily, to prevent the surprise attack of the Dionysian fleet. The sea between these two fleets is filled with thousands of ships, which have shuttled between Carthage and Liliba since the morning, delivering soldiers, war horses, food and grass to Sicily without stopping. baggage...

Since the establishment of the city, Lilibe has never been so lively and busy as it is today. Many ports are filled with ships, the docks are full of soldiers who landed and unloaded items, the roads are congested and people are full of people. Fortunately, Lilibe is different from the previous Motia. It existed as a Carthaginian military town in Sicily from the very beginning, so its ports and roads were built according to military standards. The chief executive has always been a military general, not an administrative officer.

In the semi-militarized city of Lilibe, almost all the people in the city began to act on the order of the city owner, busying themselves with the landing of the Carthaginian army in an orderly manner. With their efforts, problems were solved one by one. , the whole login process gradually became smoother...

The troops after the landing were soon taken to the barracks outside the city of Lilibe, which was built when Margo was the highest military commander in Sicily, and recently Lilibe repaired it again.

And this time, Monte Adenno, the supreme commander of the Carthaginian army, and Hanno's son-in-law, Milefio, were in Lilibe's mansion, while listening to Lilibe's lord Samimre reporting on the progress of the army's landing. Tasting wine and food.

Lord Samimre. Milefio suddenly interrupted his report and asked, Have they not come yet?

After Marco was removed from Sicily, Hanno quickly replaced several important Carthaginian colonial cities in Sicily with his own people. Semimre was one of them. Of course, he knew what Millerfiore said. Who is the they referring to, he immediately replied: I haven't received any news of their arrival for the time being.

General, shouldn't they miss their appointment?! Millerfiore reminded.

Don't worry, Marco is quite trustworthy. Since he said he would send the army, he would not break his promise. If he doesn't come, Mr. Hanno will take care of it, we don't have to worry about it. Monte Ardeno He didn't care much, but instead focused his attention on the wine glass in his hand: This wine has a mellow taste and is very smooth. Where does it come from?

...This is the wine of Turui. Samimre replied a little embarrassedly. He thought that Montratno would be dissatisfied, but the 50-year-old commander was surprised: I The Turii wines that I have drunk before are not as good as this time, have they improved the winemaking process again?!

While speaking, he raised his wine glass again, took a sip, and after tasting the tea, he sighed: It is indeed quite different from the past! It's a pity! Now that we are fighting Dionysus, it is estimated that such a good wine is I can't drink it!

Samimre immediately said: General, since you love drinking this wine so much, I still have a lot of jars in my place. I'll ask my servants to send you to the barracks later.

Montratno did not refuse, but thanked him repeatedly.

Milefio met him on the side, and half-jokingly, half-seriously said: General, when we defeat Dionia, you can directly order the Dionias to bring you these wines, right? more convenient!

Monte Ardeno put his long beard in his hand and laughed: This is a good idea! However, I heard that King Davos has a tough temper. If he wants to send the wine obediently, he must be thoroughly dressed. It's enough for Onia to fight. Dionia is a powerful kingdom, and this will be a long war, so we don't have to worry too much!

………………………………

Just as Monte Ardeno was tasting the wine, the they mentioned by Millerfiore were riding on a battleship, leading a huge fleet, heading towards Sicily in the northeast. Island sailing.

Hasdrubal, I heard that the commander of the Carthaginian army this time is Monte Ardeno, are you familiar with him? Kisgo asked.

It's just Hanno's dog. Hasdruba curled his lips contemptuously: He only knows how to slam our Margonides family indiscriminately in the senate, so as to please Hanno, this is how he can become an army. Commander's reason.
