lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

Living in a villa, this is a fashion that has emerged in the Kingdom of Dionian in recent years. When the summer is hottest, I take my family to the mountains in the north to escape from the heat, relax, and soak in hot springs, which is very popular with children.

After holding several occasions for banquets, the elders and ministers discovered the benefits of living in villas. The hills in the northern mountainous areas, which were originally sparsely populated, barren, and rugged, quickly became popular. The wealthy and qualified citizens of Turiyi queued up to the Ministry of Agriculture to buy. Later, the local council of Turiyi had to pass a bill to restrict the over-sale of mountains in the territory of Turiyi, and the mountains to be sold were also strictly regulated. For the area of ​​the villa, trees in other areas are not allowed to be felled at will.

Turiyi citizens had no choice but to turn their eyes to Amendorara, Bisignia, and Castellón in the core area of ​​Turiyi, and soon forced the local councils of these three towns to sell the mountains one after another. Restrictions... Eventually, this trend swept the entire kingdom, causing the Senate specifically to formulate a provision for "mountain sales and villa construction" in the "Law of the Kingdom of Dionian".

Antrapolis just expressed his concern in this way. He understands that his brother has a firm personality and is not a person who can be easily persuaded, just as he once persuaded Aristius to ask Dave His Majesty Si proposed that "no longer serve as the director of intelligence, and switch to the development of administrative officials." He believed that with his brother's talents, he could have a more brilliant future, but he was sternly rejected by Alistairs, and Warn him not to bring up the matter again.

Antrapolis stopped talking, but Aristilas asked, "What are you here for today?"

"Brother, can't I come here to see you today?!" Antrapolis said dissatisfiedly.

"Poris is coming!" With a cordial shout, a woman came out of the main building.

"Sister-in-law!" Antrapolis shouted respectfully.

The visitor is Asuna, the wife of Aristilas.

"It's been a long time since you came to our house." Asuna said with a blaming smile.

"Sister-in-law, it’s not that I don’t come. Haven’t I been in a public office in the field all these years? I just retired from Hibernian last month. I have been busy going through various handover procedures these days... I'll be here when I'm finished." Antrapolis explained quickly.

"Since it’s a rare visit, let’s have dinner together at home tonight! I have asked the servants to prepare. You call my younger sibling, Corrie Ass, and Lilea (Asuna’s daughter). I miss her brother Andu Oaks too, and our family will get together tonight!"

Asuna finished speaking with enthusiasm, and Antrapolis looked at her brother. He knew that Aristilas rarely held parties at home.

But at this moment, Aristilas quickly said: "Your sister-in-law has spoken, quickly send a servant home, and call all your younger siblings and children."

Asuna looked at her husband, smiled charmingly, and then said: "Princess Kristia has something urgent for me to do. I will rush back in the afternoon. You two will talk slowly at home first." /

"Okay, sister-in-law, go ahead." Antrapolis smiled and watched Asuna leave the house with two female slaves.

As a senior member of the Senate, he is so respectful to Asuna, not entirely because she is his own sister-in-law, but also because she used to be Christoja’s personal slave girl, and is still the princess in business. A capable assistant, who has won the trust of King Davos and his family, plus Aristiras is the confidant of King Davos, so Antrapolis just said that his brother is a high-ranking minister of the kingdom is not wrong, many The veterans and city chiefs seem to have a prominent position, but in the heart of the increasingly powerful King Davers, they are not even comparable to the words of the couple.

However, the Aristilas usually act low-key and rarely interact with others. Aristiras, who has always had a cold face towards everyone, seemed gentle when facing his wife. Asuna always made the decision on family matters. According to rumors, Azuna took the initiative to pursue and added Krishna. Princess Listoria acted as a matchmaker, and the two came together. Antrapolis thinks this rumor is credible, otherwise with his brother's indifferent personality, it is estimated that he is still single now.

Antrapolis pretended not to see the smile that appeared at the corner of Aristilas’s mouth when he watched Asuna leave. He said seriously, “Big brother, there is something important for me this time. Matter, please help me get an idea."

Aristilas immediately became serious: "Go to my study and speak."

"Brother, I want to respond to the call of His Majesty Daves and follow the army to the Latham area..." In the study, Antrapolis said seriously.

It turns out that Davos not only provided opportunities for merchants who donated food to the kingdom, but also called for the elders in the Senate, and the officials of the kingdom, who did not have suitable positions for the time being and could only serve as idle posts, hoping that they would be able to Volunteer to accompany the army to the Latham area and serve in various public positions in the occupied area in the future, so as to better stabilize the occupied area...

Aristilas didn't seem to be surprised, and there was no surprise on his face. He just asked gently: "Why did you choose to go to Latham?"

"Brother, you know, I returned to Turriy after the expiration of the post of Chief Executive in Hibernian. The Royal Management Committee originally evaluated my performance in Hibernian. I lost to Baggul as the chief executive of Cosenza. Now the chief executive and other high-ranking positions in the various cities of the kingdom are full. I don’t know when I will be able to take office again. I just want to... It's better to follow Daves to Latham..." Antrapolis said his true thoughts.

"Aren't there still Castro's chief executive positions still vacant?" Aristilas said.

"Is the chief executive of Castellon still called the chief executive! I don't want to have a Lycias pointing at me!" Antrapolis shook his head and said.

In the past few years, Daves established the Turiy region in order to unify resources and highlight Turiyi’s central position in the kingdom, and Visignia, Castellón, and Amendorara were all merged into it. In this area, their chief executives are all under the jurisdiction of the chief executive of Turíy, and Lucias has served as the chief executive of Turíy for many years and has a high reputation. Most of these chief executives dare not violate his orders.

"Actually, after your Majesty proposed this plan in the Senate, I wanted to suggest that you go to Latham. I didn’t expect you to make a decision so quickly." A gratified expression appeared on Aristilas’s face, don’t Seeing that he rarely contacted Antrapolis, in fact, he has been paying attention to his brother's performance in the political arena.

"You also support me?!" When Antrapolis heard this, his heart became firmer, but he said anxiously: "What I am worried about now is that Latam is too far away from the center of the kingdom and the location is remote. , Serving in that place does not get too much attention, and staying there for too long will miss other good opportunities. In addition, the area is full of aliens, and it is not adjacent to the kingdom, I am afraid it is not good Governance, in case of a riot..."

Aristilas carefully listened to his brother’s words, and slowly said: “You don’t have to worry about not being taken seriously in your position. As far as I know, your majesty attaches great importance to Rome far beyond your imagination. Before the Italian War, he asked me to establish a news channel against Rome. After the South-Iraq War, he increased his investment in Rome’s intelligence collection and asked me to report to him on Latham’s situation every other month. In the second half of last year, His Majesty demanded,'As long as there is a new situation in Rome, report to him immediately'...Do you know that there is a map of Italy and Sicily made of clay in the military conference room of the palace?"

"I know, I heard that it is very beautifully made!" Antrapolis nodded and replied.

"Among all the models of other city-states, the model of Rome is the largest and the only one made of red clay. It is very eye-catching. It can be seen that His Majesty pays more attention to Rome than Carthage, so this time He will bring you administrative officials on the expedition. This is something that has never happened before. I am afraid all he wants is to turn Rome and the Latin Confederacy into the territory of the Kingdom of Dionia, so you don’t have to worry about it. There is no attention from the kingdom..."

At this point, Aristilas has no worries at all. He understands that as long as King Daves pays attention to it, the resources of the kingdom may be vigorously tilted towards the Latham area, which is safe and natural. There will also be protection.

"Polis!" Aristilas said with a serious look: "Since you have chosen to take risks rather than being willing to be mediocre, don't be afraid of difficulties when you come to Latham! You have to learn more about the various races in the area. Living customs, try to find out how to manage the area there, and establish your reputation there... When the Latham area is fully incorporated into the kingdom, you must become the elder who knows it best! In this way, once Latham When an important position is vacant or an important problem occurs, your Majesty will first think of you. Just like Bagul of Lucania and Sedorum of Bruti, he was in Kata more than ten years ago. Chennai, you have already missed a great opportunity, don't miss it again this time!"

Antrapolis understood what his brother meant by "missed opportunity": Back then, Dionia had just occupied the southeastern part of Sicily, and he was born and raised in Katane and successfully led the rebellion against Sicily. Rakuza became the senator of the Senate and served as the chief executive of Katane. He should have gradually developed on this basis and became the spokesperson of Sicily in the kingdom and a pivotal figure in the Senate. As a result, he lacked With administrative experience, he eventually messed up himself.

Now Aristilas' expectations both make him feel pressured, but also make him feel refreshed. He said in a deep voice, "Big brother, don't worry, I won't miss it easily this time!"
