Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1279

[Chapter 228 The Princess’s Request]

“Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece ()”

“Okay, then it’s settled. When the time comes, you will follow me and go to Persia!” At this time, Davos smiled, looked at the former Minister of Commerce in the crowd, and said, “Mariji, you can go back immediately. You should be very happy to be back in your hometown, right?”

Marigi replied calmly: “Your Majesty, I have lived here for most of my life, and I have long been a Dionysian. The reason why I want to follow you to Persia is because I am relatively familiar with the place, and I hope to be able to help you during the war. Give some good advice.”

“You are duplicitous.” Epithenes ran aside.

Marigi’s words reminded Davos, and he immediately asked, “Is Izam among your group of people who are going to Persia?”

“Yes, Your Majesty, he is the most active one to sign up. After all, he can be considered to be able to return to his hometown.” Philisius replied with a smile.

Alexis immediately understood what Davos meant, and said, “He should be at home now, do you need to call him right away?”

“Don’t worry, there is time in the future.” Davos looked at the crowd and said with a sigh, “It’s been a long time since our old brothers got together! Today, don’t rush back, I will send someone to Matonis, Olivers, Alpence and other old mercenaries in Turii are all called, I will hold a banquet in the palace, let’s have a good chat, okay?!”

“Very good!”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

………………………………………………………………

In the middle of the night, Davos, who had finished the banquet, returned to the mansion of the King’s Hill.

When he came to the backyard, he found that the hall of the main building in front of him was brightly lit by candles, which was very strange.

Walking in, he saw two princesses, Cristoia and Agnes, sitting in the huge living room. He was drunk and asked, “It’s so late, why don’t you two… why don’t you go to bed?”

“Your Majesty, we are waiting for you.” Cristoia said angrily.

“Wait for me? Uh…what’s the matter?” Davers burped.

Agnes immediately went over to help him sit down, then brought him a cup of hot honey water that had been prepared, and asked with concern: “We heard that Your Majesty will lead an army to attack Persia in person this time, is this true? ?”

Davos held her hand and comforted her softly: “You two don’t have to worry, Persia’s national strength is obviously weakened now, and we are fully capable of completely defeating it and making it no longer a hidden danger to the kingdom… Uh, say it again this time. It is a war between the two great powers of Dionia and Persia, and almost all the legions of the kingdom will be dispatched.

Davos squeezed Agnes’ hand lightly, looked at Cristoia, and his tone became more gentle: “Don’t worry, this is the last time I will lead an army, and after this war is over, I will be fine. Stay by your side, and you won’t worry about it anymore!”

“Your Majesty.” Kristoya was a little moved, but the expression on her face quickly became serious: “You used to lead troops to fight, my sister and I could only wait at home, but this time you are going to Persia, the two of us It’s been discussed, I want to go with you!”

“What?!” Daverston was half sober, looking at Cristoia and Agnes beside him, and asked in disbelief, “Aren’t you joking?”

“Your Majesty!” Cristoia straightened her chest and said in a serious tone: “I have discussed with Agnes for a day today, and now I am making this request with a very serious attitude. I hope you will take it seriously too!”

“Okay.” Davos let go of Agnes’ hand, sat up straight, coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice, “I don’t agree!”

Seeing Cristoia’s face turned upside down, Davos went on to explain: “The Dionysian Military Law was formulated by me, and it is precisely because of the strict implementation of it that the army has been able to win again and again. , with today’s powerful kingdom. Article 91 of the Military Law specifically stipulates that ‘generals and soldiers shall not bring their family members to march or fight,

Women shall not be kidnapped, and violators shall be punished by beheading!

‘Do you want me to be beheaded?

Even if no one dares to do this, but as the maker of the military law and the commander-in-chief of the entire army, I violated the military law myself, so will the following soldiers still abide by it seriously?

Once this bad start is made, it will eventually lead to the corruption of military discipline. Will the army still be able to win battles?

!

…”

Agnes was a little persuaded, and she looked at Cristoia.

Cristoia was unmoved: “The military law stipulates that the army must not have women to follow the march? So aren’t the nurses in the medical battalions of the various regiments women?”

Davers retorted without hesitation: “They are not women, they are soldiers. For decades, the soldiers have not treated them as women. They are already part of the various legions.”

Cristoia said with a smile: “Speaking of which, the nurses in this medical camp were formed by me according to your suggestion, Your Majesty. I was the captain of the nurses at the time, and now I can also serve as-”

“This is absolutely not possible!” Davos said firmly: “The two of you are now the princesses of the Kingdom of Dionia, the mother of a country in the hearts of the people, and they are no longer comparable to what they were decades ago. Going to work here will only disrupt the normal order of the medical camp and affect their work efficiency! More importantly, the safety of the two of you cannot be guaranteed. If something happens to you, can I still command the battle with peace of mind!”

“Your Majesty.” Cristoia’s eyes suddenly turned red, and she said with a little choking: “I followed you from Persia to Great Greece, and I haven’t returned to my hometown for decades. I have heard business people in Asia Minor say that since Persia regarded the kingdom as a kingdom After being an enemy, I don’t know how to know that I was born in Miletus. Although my father was punished by the Persians because of Cyrus’s rebellion… He passed away 10 years ago, but this time the Persians treated my father’s death. The family killed the killer… a few hundred people, even the neighbors… either were killed, or became slaves…”

Crystal tears flowed down her well-maintained white cheeks, but her voice became a little sharp: “Your Majesty, I swear in the name of Hades, this time I must go to Miletus in person, and all those involved in the killing The Persians who harmed my family and all the accomplices of Miletus must be punished! I will try my best to find all the surviving clansmen, let them settle down again and live a prosperous life, this is what I owe them! … …”

Davos was silent: In fact, he had already learned the news of the slaughter of the Cristoia family from the intelligence obtained by Aristillas five years ago. In order not to make his wife sad, he concealed it. Cristoia had known it for a long time, but she had always endured it silently… If her father was retaliated by the Persian king because of his involvement in Cyrus’ rebellion, it could also be said that it had nothing to do with Dionia, and the destruction of his family. But it was really the reason of Davos. Now Cristoia swears in the name of God, which shows her firm attitude.

If Davers still objected, it would undoubtedly cause a crack in the couple’s relationship over the decades, so he hesitated.

At this time, Agnes spoke out: “Your Majesty, do you think this is okay? My sister and I will not go with the army to Persia to avoid embarrassing you. When the war goes well, we will follow the baggage fleet to go…”

“It’s still a little dangerous…” Davers faced the expectant and pleading eyes of the two wives, and finally compromised: “Okay, I’ll arrange this matter… But, Cristoia, you’re gone, you Who is in charge of the Chamber of Commerce? And Agnes, who will preside over the Temple of Hera?”

“Eunice is now able to be on her own. I’m leaving. Of course, she will manage the Chamber of Commerce.”

“Cynthia presides over the daily rituals of the Temple of Hera for me.”

“What about little Chris? Are you willing to leave them alone?” Davers tentatively made his last effort.

Kristoya said firmly: “I’m not their mother, what can I bear. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com ”

Seeing the resolute attitude of the two wives, Davos lowered his head and took a slow sip of the honey water, then said, “Well… After the entire western Asia Minor is conquered, I will notify the Military Affairs Department and send troops to take you to Miletus. , when you’re done with Miletus, you two will go back, okay?”

“No!” Cristoia immediately objected: “If you conquer Persia this time, Agnes and I will go to Babylon with you!”

Davos was taken aback: “What are you doing in Babylon?”

Agnes hesitated to speak, but Cristoia was quite straightforward: “I heard that the Persian king has many women. We are afraid that you will marry another one, so we have to keep an eye on it!”

Davos Aran: “What are you thinking about, how could I do such a thing that violates military law! Besides, I am at this age, how can I still have that kind of mind!”

Cristoia curled her lips: “Who knows, it is said that the Persian king is already old and married his own daughter. My sister and I follow you to avoid you making mistakes!”

Davers shook his head helplessly.

Although the Persians in Asia Minor received the news that “Dionia declared war on Persia and formed a Greek coalition to attack Persia”, they also noticed that because the people of the Greek city-states were preparing to harvest the farmland that was about to be harvested, and Military mobilization has not yet started, so it is believed that the Greek coalition will not come too soon. As a result, the tenth Diorian Army successfully landed on the beaches of the Bosmicia region on the east coast of the Hellespont.

Of course, even if the Governor of Misia, Theopemps, was prepared, he was unable to prevent the landing of the Dionian army, and at most it only caused some trouble for the Tenth Legion.
