Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1283

[Chapter 232: Seeing Off the King (2)]

“Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece ()”

Ivia, another biological daughter of King Davos, sat in the subsequent royal carriage and did not appear in front of others, which made the people of Tulii on the side of the road a little regretful.

Due to the introverted and shy nature of the Dionysian Princess, who did not like to appear in public, the people of Turii did not know much about her at first, until she became the director of the zoo, because she had to take care of animals, and tourists visiting the zoo and When children have contact, everyone understands her kindness and innocence, and is loved by the people.

Cristoia, Agnes, Cynthia, Ivia, and the children shared two royal carriages, followed by two teams of court cavalry.

Compared with his enemy Persia, the team that the Dionysian royal family traveled can be said to be very simple, but the people’s support for them is far from what the Persian royal family can compare to.

“King Davos Wan Victory!!!”

“Hadis Davos Royal Family Victory!!!”

…

The people used continuous cheers to express their support and support for King Davos and his family, as well as their best wishes for the next war.

These more formal cheers were mixed with some personal hobbies: “May Hades bless the beautiful Princess Eunice!”

“May Hades bless the kind-hearted Princess Ivia!”

“Prince Antebris, I love you!”

…

Eunice laughed “Puchi” and joked: “Antebris, did you hear me, be careful I report to Ronia!”

“I don’t know that woman at all, maybe I’m a rugby fan like you! Don’t talk nonsense!” Antebris quickly defended.

Ronia is his wife, the daughter of a former rugby team owner in Turui. She has a cheerful and generous personality and loves sports. She has never accepted Antebris’s courtship. She is worried that she will be restrained after marrying into the royal family. Persistent pursuit, the two did not get married until last year’s sports meeting, making him the last of the Davers children to marry, which is also a concern of the Davers couple.

It was precisely because this marriage was hard-won that Antebris cherished it.

“Don’t worry, Ante, Eunice won’t talk nonsense, she can’t bear to lose her friend Ronia!” Apox said lightly.

“Apox, it’s up to you!” Eunice gave him a dissatisfied look. It was true that Eunice and Ronia had similar personalities and similar interests. Since Ronia married into the royal family, the two soon became They became friends. In last year’s rugby and football competitions, the two often appeared together in the stands together, becoming a beautiful scenery line in the game.

Davos looked around with a smile on his face, and waved frequently to the cheering people on the side of the road, but the horses under his crotch did not slow down at all, and the team soon arrived at the inner city pier.

The Kingdom Administration Office, the important officials of various departments, and the elders of the Senate have already been waiting here. When they saw King Davos coming, they approached him in an orderly manner and bowed respectfully.

Davos rolled over and dismounted, looked at the five assistant ministers who came to the front, and said sternly: “After I go to the Eastern Mediterranean, the affairs of the kingdom will be left to you!”

“Your Majesty, don’t worry, His Royal Highness Klotokataks is very capable, and we will definitely assist him with all our strength!” Haka said in a deep voice.

“Your Majesty, we will try our best to maintain the stability of the kingdom and wait patiently for your triumphant return!” Cypros said earnestly.

“Your Majesty, we will do our best to ensure the logistical supply of the army, you can attack the Persians with confidence!” Antaoris also said immediately.

Davos nodded with a smile, and patted the shoulders of Bagule and Adriankes, who didn’t speak, but looked resolute. Many things had been arranged before, and he didn’t need to say more at this moment. what.

He smiled and greeted the ministers and elders who greeted him as he walked slowly towards the trestle.

When he walked to the side of the berthed royal double-headed dragon on the ship, he was only accompanied by his family.

He stopped, his eyes swept over the faces of every family member softly, and finally fell on Patroclus, whom he had specially called from the crowd, and said solemnly: “Paltrow, the safety of the kingdom and The safety of the royal family is left to you!”

“Your Majesty—” As soon as Patroclus’ words came out, he saw Davos’ expression unchanged, and quickly changed his words: “Father, I will do my best to assist Cloto and maintain the stability of the kingdom!”

Previously, Davos asked the Ministry of Military Affairs to issue an order: transfer Hasdruba to be the commander of the Fourteenth Army, follow him to Persia, and let Sextus take over as the commander of the northern border of the kingdom.

Then he appointed his most trusted son-in-law, Patroclus, as the commander of the Kingdom Reserve Corps, stationed in the Turii Barracks. The most important mission of this temporary position is that in the event of domestic unrest, especially in the Italian peninsula, He has the right to mobilize reserve troops in any area to quell the chaos.

Patroclus was reluctant to accept it at first. He wanted to participate in the great war between Dionia and Persia, but after a detailed discussion with Davos and his wife Cynthia, he finally accepted. this appointment.

Davos has led the army to expedition many times before, and he has never had such an arrangement. Why did he come here this time?

That’s because Davos believed that due to Persia’s long distance and vast territory, the war would last for a long time, and the Kingdom of Dionysus had almost exhausted all its regular legions, and the domestic defense would be insufficient. Incident, the army is difficult to rescue in time, so a most trustworthy general is needed to sit in the kingdom, gather the remaining military resources, and maintain the security of the kingdom.

Of course, there is another important reason that cannot be said in Davos’ mind: Patroclus is still young, he has already made great military exploits and is well-known in the army. If he is allowed to return from the Persian War, his His prestige in the army will be further enhanced, which will be detrimental to Clotokatax’s rule of the kingdom. Even though he has carefully observed for many years, he believes that the character of Patroclus is completely trustworthy, but he still has to plan ahead. , to avoid rifts in the royal family in the future, so that the family can always maintain harmony.

Davos nodded, looked at his son, the future king, and said solemnly, “Take care of your two mothers and brothers and sisters. After I leave, the kingdom will be handed over to you, do it well!”

After the father-son conversation that night, Clotokatax certainly understood the true meaning of Davos’s words and felt the heavy weight. He took a deep breath and replied with an unprecedented serious expression: “Yes, Father!”

“Your Majesty, don’t forget to inform Agnes and me to go to Miletus!” At this moment, Cristoia suddenly reminded loudly.

Davos stared at the charming faces of the two wives, and smiled softly: “You two just wait for my good news.”

“Grandpa, I really want to go to Persia with you!” Christopher couldn’t help but say.

Davos bowed down with kindness on his face: “You are still too young, when you have learned the school knowledge and your body will grow taller and stronger, then grandpa will not only take you to Persia, but also to Egypt and Egypt. Greece, are you okay?”

“Okay!” Christopher nodded vigorously.

Davos smiled and squeezed his little face with his hands, and finally, under the attention of his relatives, boarded the two-headed dragon.

“Your Majesty.” Court clerk Henipolis and former intelligence chief Aristillas, who were waiting at the entrance, bowed and saluted.

“Your Majesty, you are too slow…cough…our feet are getting moldy on the boat!” It was Amintas who was in a wheelchair who was complaining, while Alexis, Philixiu These old people also stepped forward to salute Davos.

“Amintas, you’re so old, you still don’t change your temperament. You must know that you are fighting against a big country like Persia, but you can’t be in a hurry.” Davos said jokingly, while gesturing to Henepolis: ” Let’s go.”

In the cheers and farewells, the two-headed dragon sailed slowly away from the pier, and just entered the Krati River, and there were even louder cheers all around. It turned out that the two banks of the Krati River were also crowded with people. com They excitedly waved and shouted at this unique warship in the kingdom.

“Your Majesty, it seems that the people are very enthusiastic about this war!” Felixius said happily.

“Over the years, the people of Turii have made great sacrifices for the kingdom. I’m afraid they hope that the soldiers of the first and second legions can return with a smoother victory!” Davos said with a sigh.

As soon as he finished speaking, Amintas suddenly coughed loudly.

Just as the two-headed dragon was riding down the river, the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Legionnaires were boarding the ship at the port of Turii, and at the mouth of the Krati River, thousands of warships of the 1st and 2nd Fleet were waiting there. , they were the kingdoms that were ordered back last month. During this period of time, they have been running back and forth between the Italian peninsula and the southern Gulf of Peloponnese, responsible for ensuring the safety of the troop transport routes of the legionaries in various regions of the kingdom, and guarding the first, The troop transport of the Second Legion and the ship of King Davos were the last mission of the two fleets during this period, and of course the most important one.

The huge fleet sailed out of the Gulf of Turii, crossed the mouth of the Adriatic Sea, passed through coastal islands such as Kerkyra, Kefalonia, and Zakynthos, and entered the Gulf of Messenia.

Although today’s Messenia is a subsidiary of the Kingdom of Dionia, most of its council members have the citizenship of Dionia, and the citizens of Messenia who were born in Herlaus are full of gratitude and reverence for Dionia , the exchanges between the two sides are very close, in fact, it is not much different from the kingdom’s own territory.

At the same time, as a maritime trade relay station between the kingdom and the mainland of Greece, it has greatly promoted its trade development. The continuous expansion of the port in recent years is no longer the original appearance. It can fully accommodate the entry of this huge fleet and satisfy Supply and demand of two legionnaires.
