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

After the Western Mediterranean War, Daves promulgated two reform measures for the army: one is that team officers must undergo study and assessment to be promoted to generals; the other is that as long as the officers meet the conditions, they can be promoted to generals smoothly, but not You will definitely be able to get a definite military position right away. Because there are so many general positions in the kingdom, there may not necessarily be vacancies, and you need to wait. It often takes months or even a year to teach in the barracks before you can take office.

Obviously, Patroclus and Sextus did not expect that they would be so lucky. Although they tried to suppress them, the joy was still beyond words.

Daves stepped forward, took a brand new legionnaire's helmet with a purple and red crown from Martius, put it on Patroclus, and said in a deep voice, "Congratulations. , Captain Patroclus! This time you go to Rome to take over the 14th Army. Now the Gaul frequently invades the northern border of Etruscans, and may go south at any time, regardless of whether the kingdom wants to send reinforcements to assist Etruscans. The demi-men defend the border, and the Latham area is very likely to be the forefront of the war! So after you get there, you should not only step up the training of soldiers with the military trainers, but also always be vigilant and think hard about the strategy against the enemy. Once a war breaks out , I hope the 14th Army can become the main force to defeat the Gauls!"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will definitely lead the Fourteenth Army to ensure the safety of the kingdom's territory and protect the people of the kingdom from harm!" Patroclus gave a powerful military salute and replied solemnly.

Daves nodded, then turned to Sextus, took another captain’s helmet, put it on him, and said: "Congratulations, captain Sextus! But as the tenth The new commander of the Eighth Legion, your mission is very difficult! The southern Iberian territory is the most unstable area in the kingdom. There are many natives who are unkind to the kingdom around the border, and there are many people in the territory who are showing interest in the kingdom. It’s not entirely at home. When you get there, while cooperating with local officials, you must also actively go deep into various places to investigate and understand the people’s conditions in order to have your own independent judgment.

While strengthening the training of legionaries, we must also make full use of the military training time and use various methods to enhance the citizen’s recognition of the kingdom. I hope that the 18th legion will become an Iberian under your leadership. The mainstay of the southern region! Of course, the kingdom is always paying attention to the situation there and will not let you fight alone! "

Davos’s words made Sextus feel a lot of pressure. When he still slammed his right fist to his left chest, he said firmly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely complete the task. , Guard the southern part of Iberia!"

Crotto Catacs walked out of the Rome City Hall. The oncoming breeze refreshed his tired spirit. He nodded to the court guards guarding on both sides, and then walked down the steps.

Every time he stepped on the Roman Forum, Croto Catacs felt a sense of pleasure, because this old square that had not been renovated for decades was greatly remodeled when he was the Roman construction officer. , Completely renewed, he couldn’t help showing a smile when he saw the people walking happily in the square, often at this time he would subconsciously look north, the temples on Capitoline Hill were shining in the setting sun. The bottom exudes magnificent brilliance, and there is also a lot of his painstaking effort.

Because of this, he is loved by the Roman people. Every pedestrian passing by will greet him enthusiastically, and he will not tire of responding enthusiastically.

Of course, under normal circumstances, people will never approach him. This is because there was an attempted assassination of Croto Catacs two years ago. After the incident, the Roman people knew about it. This gentle and kind young official was actually the eldest son of King Daves, and he understood why he always followed a group of guards. After the assassination, Croto Kataks asked the inspectorate and the court not to expand the case too much and not to harass the criminal’s family... The people's love for him.

The residence of Croto Kataks is not far from the city hall, on the top of Palatine Hill, separated from other residences, and guarded by the court guard.

Crotto Kataks walked into the mansion, and his wife Dido immediately walked out of the main building to greet him.

Looking at his smiling wife, Croto Kataks's mind was full of thoughts: A few years ago when he learned that his father was engaged to him, and that the woman was still from Carthage, she was even older than him. When he was a few years old, his heart was quite resistant. But since he was young, he has always obeyed his father's decision, so he did not express his opposition, but during the first period of marriage, his attitude towards his wife was indifferent. However, in constant contact, his attitude has changed. He deeply feels that his wife is not only beautiful, but also very cultivated and caring for him. At the same time, she is also a very intelligent and capable woman. Although Dionian women are much more open than traditional Greek women, outstanding women like Dido are still very rare in the kingdom. It is her unique personality that strongly attracts Croto Katak. Si, Dido's weight gradually surpassed his sister Cynthia in his heart.

"You are back! You must be hungry, dinner is ready!" Dido looked at his tired husband, went forward to take his arm, and said with concern.

"Um...what's delicious today?" Cloto Kataks asked casually, holding his wife's hand.

"There is the fried beef you like, and the cod sent by your mother." Dido replied.

"Salted cod?" Cod is delicious, but it is not produced in the Mediterranean and it is not easy to catch. Once it leaves the sea, it is easy to spoil in a short period of time and is not easy to preserve. This makes cod a price. A higher delicacy, from Turii to Rome, it will take three or four days at the fastest if you take the fast boat with the wind. If it is not salted, it would have long been smelly, so Croto Catacs will have it. This question.

"It's not salted." Seeing her husband's surprised expression, Dido explained, "Your mother put the cod in a clay pot, stuffed it with ice, then sealed it, and wrapped it in several layers. The cloth has been placed in a cool place on the bottom of the boat, so after delivery, the ice has not completely melted and the cod is fresher. I asked the chef to make fried cod......"

"This is too extravagant, just to give a few fish, so toss!" Cloto Kataks frowned.

"This fish is not for you to eat." Dido gave him a blank look, touched his abdomen, and said, "After Chris was sent to Turíy, your mother received from Peloya (Dido's confidant maid). ) I heard from my mouth that I was pregnant again, so I gave a lot of condolences, not just this cod!"

Klotokatax quickly changed his words: "That should be given! That should be given! You see my mother still cares about you!"

Dido was silent for a while, then said softly: "It would be better if you didn't take Chris away..."

"Parents miss their grandchildren! Besides, Chris is pestering you every day. You can’t rest well. It’s not good for the children in the stomach. You forgot how the doctor reminded us last time. Yes!..."

"You are right, I shouldn't mention it again. Let's go to eat first, or the dishes will be cold." Dido went into the restaurant with her husband.

"Come on, eat one more." Cloto Catacs forkped another cod and put it on Dido's plate.

"I'm full and I can't eat anymore." Dido returned the cod on the plate to Cloto Catacs.

"Is full so soon? You are pregnant now, you should eat more." Croto Kataks persuaded with concern.

"I've only been more than three months old, and I don't have such a big appetite. You can eat quickly. You didn't eat much just now."

"Then you go for a walk in the yard, it is good for your health."

"Yeah." Dido nodded in response, looking at her husband who was immersed in eating fish, her eyes were full of love: she had promised King Davos to marry Cloto Kataks, it was completely forced by the situation. At the time of the marriage, she didn’t know that her husband was also dissatisfied with the marriage, but at that time she knew that Cloto Catacs had become herself and the entire Magonis family in Diony Sub-kingdom’s support, so she tried her best to make this young husband fall in love with herself, and in the process, she gradually fell in love with him, not only because of his identity, his appearance, but also Because of his tenderness and respect for women. In this era, whether in Dionia or Carthage, it is rare for men to truly respect women. This is one of the reasons why the proud and independent Dido never got married, and Cloto Katak Si was influenced by Daves since he was a child, but he heard and saw this habit deeply rooted in his bones, so Dido felt that he was very lucky.

Of course, there is always a trace of anxiety in her heart. After all, she is a few years older than Croto Kataks, and is now almost 30, and her mother-in-law Christia seems to have always been impressed with her. Not too good, so she not only cares about her husband meticulously in life, but also try to provide him with help in career. She thinks that, even if she gets old and decayed in the future, Croto Kataks will not Willing to leave myself.

"Conya came to see me today." Dido said softly.

"Conya?" Cloto Kataks couldn't remember who this person was for a while.

"The wife of Licenius Stolo, Judge Roma Demo."
