"I see, he is very beautiful, like you!"

"I haven't named my child yet, I will wait for you to come back to get it."

As for the child's name, Daves thought about it on the way back. He put his arm around his wife’s shoulders and his chin in the other. He thought about it and said: "I remember the first time I learned that you were pregnant. I just defeated the Crotone... And this time when he was born, we defeated Krotton again. Rotone, the war with Crotone has just ended. This kid is so close to Crotone, this is Hades’s wish! I can’t as well as naming our child... Crotone Si, what do you think?"

"Krotokattax...Krotokattax..." Krytoya said softly several times, slightly, looking up at her husband worriedly: "Will this name be too public? (Katax means to conquer, Croto Katax means to conquer in Crotone)?"

Davers laughed and said: "My child has this name. When he grows up, the people of Dionia call his name, and they will think of the hardships of the founding of the country and his father's attitude towards this The contribution made by the alliance will tolerate him! At the same time, if my child is ambitious, he will create his own glory under the inspiration of this name!..."

Christoya, who is not too satisfied with the name, thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Well, it's Croto Kataks."

As soon as the voice fell, the cry of the children in the outhouse stopped abruptly.

Christoia covered her mouth and looked at Daves in surprise: "Oh my God, this name has been blessed by Hera! The child himself accepted it!"

At this moment, Asuna came in with her baby.

Christoya took him and said softly: "Little...little baby, this is your father! Call him father!"

The child yelled "haha" and danced.

"Look, he called you!" Kristonia smiled softly, and then carefully placed the child in front of Davers.

Daves put him in his arms carefully, lest he might hurt the little guy with the effort.

This time, the child didn't cry. He opened his shiny eyes and looked at Daves curiously, scratching his face with two fleshy hands.

Davers allowed him to play around. At this moment, he felt the blood-connected surge in his heart. He said excitedly: "Christoia, I want to use my name as the family surname. To my children, and then pass them on to future generations, I believe that the Daves family will become the most dazzling family in the Mediterranean!"

Daves' words made Kristonia's eyes light up. Most Greeks only have first names but no surnames. In order to distinguish duplicate names, the place of origin or other annotations are often added before the first name to distinguish, such as: Socrates in Athens, Socrates son of Asidatis, etc. , But the nobles of Persia, a great eastern country, have surnames and names. Christoya, a native of Miletus in Asia Minor, of course knew that from Daves’s words she heard her husband’s ambitions, and she repeated her son’s future name with great interest: "Daves Croto Catax..."

At this moment, Daves caught a glimpse of a small head popping out of the bedroom door.

"Cynthia, come in!" he waved.

Seven-year-old Cynthia led Adoris, who was almost five, hesitantly to the bed.

"Come and see your brother!" Davers said happily to both of them.

"You have children...Do you want us?" Cynthia asked timidly.

Davers was taken aback. He didn’t expect this adopted daughter to be so sensitive. When he was about to pass the baby to Christoja, he put them on his chest one by one, and said loudly: "You will always be my Daves’s My child, why don't you want you!"

Christoya also said softly: "And my mother also hopes that you will grow up to take good care of and protect your brother!"

The two children were comforted by the couple, and immediately disappeared from melancholy, and looked at the baby in Christoya's arms curiously.

"Can I touch him?" Cynthia asked in a low voice.

"Of course you can." Christoah smiled softly.

Cynthia carefully touched the baby's face: "What's your brother's name?"

"Crotto Kataks, his nickname is...Um...Klow."

"He is so young." Adoris also curiously shook the baby's little hand, and said like a little adult: "Brother, I will protect you."

………………………

"Hey, wake up! Wake up!!!..." The sleeping Kelebus was pushed awake, he opened his dim sleepy eyes, still feeling sleepy, he turned over and prepared to continue dreaming.

Immediately, the water-stained whip hit his body, and it was so hot that he jumped up in pain, and the overseer’s devilish voice sounded in his ear: "Get me down to the quarry immediately, Master Lusimenes wants Words!"

Kolebs was afraid of being beaten by the overseer's leather whipping, dragging his sore legs, enduring hunger, and swaying out of the cave, accidentally knocking down his companion next to him, he subconsciously stretched out his hand After pulling, he was led to the ground weakly, and he got up after a while tossing, during which he was beaten several times by the supervisor.

The captives of Crotone staggered out of the various quarry caves like ants, and gathered on this circular quarry plaza.

There are piles of freshly dug marble materials here. On the sentry tower at the entrance, Lusimenes, the head of the Turiyi Quarry, looked down impatiently at the scene below: "It's too slow. Go and remind you to make these Crotone's soft eggs quick. One point!" his opponent ordered.

So, like a lamb, the Crotone was driven to the guard tower with clubs and whips by the overseers.

This similar scene was also staged in front of the Turiyi Copper Mine and the construction site of the Temple of Hades.

"Crotone, based on the sins you committed against Turei, I wish I could keep you here for a hundred years! Let your dirty flesh and blood turn into sewage, and your fragile bones Powder!..." Lysimenes cursed viciously: "But the great Hades descended on mercy and allowed us Dionia to sign a truce with the **** Crotone, and...become... Alliance, now you... can... go home..."

Lysimenez reluctantly finished these words, and the court suddenly fell into a dead silence, and the captives couldn't believe their ears.

"He...what did he say?" The companion next to him asked with a trembling voice.

"He said... he said we can go home..." Kolbs murmured, and then he seemed to have reacted and grabbed his companion's shoulder abruptly: "Did you hear that?! We can Go home! We are free!..."

Countless people were so excited that they shed tears after confirming that the news was true. They hugged each other, cheered, kissed the ground under their feet, closed their eyes and felt the warm sunshine... These days, they have been like slaves in the dark. Mining in the caves, you have to endure the beatings of the supervisors, can't eat enough, sleep well... Let these pampered Crotone citizens almost collapse, they have never felt that freedom is so precious as they do today.

Lysimenez snorted a few times and didn't want to look at it again: "Move the bread and cheese over and let them eat."

"They are full, what if they resist?! There are so many prisoners, we can't deal with it!" the subordinate said hesitantly.

"Isn't that right!" Lu Simenes sneered: "They broke the contract they just signed first, and we happened to eliminate them all!"

"Understood."

"When they finish eating, let them take a bath in the river and put on clothes for them, lest the people from Crotori say that we abused the prisoners."

This is not called abuse! The men slandered in their hearts.

With the arrival of Crotone’s messengers, the captives completely believed in the fact that "Dionia and Crotone were allied and they were going home", under the protection of heavily armed Dionia soldiers , Marching towards the port of Turii...

Why protect? Because they were afraid that the radical Turyes would hurt these unarmed and weak Crotone prisoners. This kind of situation was experienced by Corebs half a year ago, but this time the Turyians did not cause any trouble for the huge team returning to Crotone as he feared, and even arrived at the port. There were very few Turiyi people I saw.

Where are the people of Turiya? This thought only flashed through Kolebus's mind, and now his heart is completely occupied by joy: he can go home smoothly!

The captives were completely relieved when the troop carrier left the port of Turri.

"This place, I will never come again!" A captive yelled ventingly, and was nodded in approval by most of the soldiers including Kolebus: two wars, two captures, especially the first The second time, it was a nightmare day, and they didn't even want to recall it. In the bottom of their hearts, each of them has more or less fear of the Dionian League!

In fact, in the Second Crotone War, Dionia treated Crotone prisoners in this way because of necessity. After all, the management of tens of thousands of prisoners was very difficult. Dionia himself Most of the male citizens are fighting abroad again. At the same time, Crotone’s fleet also raided Turic’s coast from time to time. Once these prisoners were rioted, the consequences would be disastrous. That’s why the Senate decided to detain them like slaves in mountainous mining areas far away from the coast, and crush them with harsh environments, hunger and heavy labor...

……………………

The people of Dionia carelessly pay attention to the Crotone prisoners who left Turri, because their hero is about to return!

The Third Army left 3,000 people under the leadership of Asistus, temporarily guarding the city of Asprostum. The First Army left 2,000 people led by Hiros and temporarily managed Crimea. All other troops returned.
