lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
The other biological daughter of King Daves, Ivia, got into the wagon of the king's house and was not exposed in front of others, which made the people of Turriy along the road a little regretful. Because this Princess Dionia was shy and introverted, she did not like to appear in public. At first, the people of Turei didn't know much about her until she became the director of the zoo, because she had to take care of the animals, and the tourists and visitors to the zoo. With the contact of the child, everyone understands her kindness and innocence, and thus gets the people's love.
Kristia, Aegness, Cynthia, Ivia, and the children were divided into two royal carriages, followed by two teams of court cavalry.
Compared with his enemy Persia, the team traveling by the Dionian royal family can be said to be very simple, but the support of the people for them is far beyond what the Persian royal family can compare.
"The King of Daves will win!!!!"
"The royal family of Hades Davos is victorious!!!"
……
The people used continuous cheers to express their support and support for King Daves and his family, and to express their best wishes for the next war.
Amidst these more formal cheers, some personal hobbies were mixed: "May Hades bless the beautiful Princess Eunice!"
"May Hades bless the kind princess Ivia!"
"Prince Antebris, I love you!"
……
Eunice chuckled and said jokingly: "Antebris, did you hear that, be careful I sue Ronya!"
"I don't know that woman at all. She may be a football fan just like you! Don't talk nonsense!" Antebris quickly defended. Ronya is his wife, who was the daughter of a football team owner in Turriy. She has a cheerful and generous personality and loves sports. She has never accepted Anterbury’s courtship and is worried that he will be restrained after marrying into the royal family. The perseverance of the pursuit until the two people got married after the Games last year, making him the latest one of Davers' children to marry, it is also a worry for the Daves couple. It is precisely because this marriage was not easy to come by, Ant Briss cherishes it very much.
"Don't worry, Ante, Eunice won't talk nonsense, she can't bear to lose her friend Ronya!" Apox said lightly.
"Apox, you just talk a lot!" Eunice gave him a dissatisfied look. It is true that Eunice and Ronya have similar personalities and similar interests. Since Ronya married into the royal family, they have been very close. They soon became friends. At last year's rugby and football competitions, the two often appeared together in the stands of the stadium and became a beautiful scenery in the game.
Davers swam around with a smile and waved frequently to the cheering people on the side of the road, but the steed under the hip did not slow down at all, and soon the traveling team arrived at the inner city pier.
The administrative office of the kingdom, the important ministers of various departments, and the elders of the Senate have been waiting here. Seeing the arrival of King Davos, they approached them in an orderly manner and bowed respectfully to salute.
Daves got off his horse, looked at the five ministers who came to the front, and said sternly: "After I go to the Eastern Mediterranean, the affairs of the kingdom will be up to you!"
"Your Majesty does not have to worry, His Royal Highness Cloto Kataks is outstanding, 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!" Cipros said earnestly.
"Your Majesty, we will do our best to ensure the logistics supply of the army. You can safely attack the Persians!" Anta Auris also said immediately.
Davers smiled and nodded, and patted the shoulders of Bagule and Adrianx, who did not speak, but looked firm. Many things have been arranged before, and he doesn’t need it now. Say more.
He smiled and paid tribute to the ministers and elders who met before, and slowly walked towards the trestle bridge.
When he walked to the docked Royal Double-Eyed Dragon, he was only with his family.
He stopped, his gaze swept softly across the faces of every family member, and finally fell on Patroclus, who he had just called out of the crowd, and said solemnly: "Patrow, Kingdom Your safety and the safety of the royal family are up to you!"
"Your Majesty--" As soon as Patroclus spoke his words, Daves's expression remained unswerving, and he changed his words quickly: "Father, I must do my best to assist Croto and maintain the stability of the kingdom!"
Previously, Daves asked the Ministry of Military Affairs to issue an order: appoint Hasdruba as 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’s Reserve Corps, stationed in the Turiyi Barracks. The most important mission of this temporary post is that once there is turmoil in the country, especially in Italy In the peninsula, he has the right to mobilize reserve forces in any area to quell the chaos.
Patroclus was unwilling to accept at first, he wanted to participate in this large-scale war between Dionian and Persia, but after Daves and his detailed discussion and the persuasion of his wife Cynthia, he finally Still accepted the appointment.
Daves led the army to conquer many times before, and there has never been such an arrangement. Why did you come here this time? That’s because Daves believed that due to the long distance and vast territory of Persia, the war would last for a long time, and the Kingdom of Dionian had almost exhausted all the regular legions, and the domestic defense would be insufficient. In case of sudden emergencies In the event, it is difficult for the army to rescue it in time, so it is necessary for a most trustworthy general to sit in the kingdom and gather the remaining military resources to maintain the security of the kingdom.
Of course, there is another important reason in Davos’s heart that cannot be said: Patroclus is still young, has already made great military exploits, and is well-known in the military. If he is allowed to gain reputation from the Persian War Return, his prestige in the army will be further strengthened, which will not be conducive to the rule of Croto Kataks over the kingdom, even though he has been carefully observed for many years and believes that the character of Patroclus is completely trustworthy, but he It is still necessary to plan ahead to avoid rifts in the royal family in the future, so that the family can always maintain harmony.
Davers nodded, looked at his son, the future king, and said in a deep voice: "Take care of your two mothers and brothers and sisters. After I leave, the kingdom will be handed over to you, do it! "
After the father-son conversation that night, Croto Kataks certainly understood the true meaning of Davers's words and felt the heavy weight. He took a deep breath and replied with unprecedented seriousness: "Yes, father!"
"Your Majesty, don't forget to notify Aegness and I to go to Miletus at that time!" At this moment, Kristia suddenly reminded her loudly.
Davers stared at the charming faces of the two wives and smiled softly: "You two will wait for my good news."
"Grandpa, I really want to go to Persia with you!" Christod couldn't help saying.
Davers bends down kindly: "You are still too young now. When you learn the knowledge of school, your body will grow taller and stronger. When the time comes, Grandpa will not only take you to Persia, but also take you. Go to Egypt and Greece, do you think it’s okay?"
"Okay!" Christod nodded vigorously.
Davers smiled and squeezed his small face with his hand, and finally boarded the double-headed dragon ride under the attention of his relatives.
"Your Majesty." The court clerk Henipolis and the former intelligence director Aristilas bowed and saluted at the entrance.
"Your Majesty, you are too slow...cough cough... our feet on the boat are going to be moldy!" The one who complained was Amintas in a wheelchair, and Alexis, The old people like Phillips also came forward to salute Davers.
"Amintas, you are so old, this temper is still the same, you must know that fighting a big country like Persia, but you can't be anxious." Daves said jokingly, and gestured to Hernibo. Reese: "Let's sail."
Amidst cheers and farewells, the two-headed dragon slowly sailed away from the dock and just entered the Krati River. There was even greater cheers around. It turned out that both banks of the Krati River were also crowded with people. They were excited. Waved and shouted at this unique warship in the kingdom.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the people's enthusiasm for this war is very high!" Philipius said happily.
"Turiyi people have made great sacrifices for the kingdom over the years. I am afraid they hope that the soldiers of the First and Second Army can return in triumphantly more smoothly!" Daves exclaimed. .
As soon as he finished speaking, Amintas suddenly coughed loudly.
Just as the two-headed dragon was riding the ship down the river, the soldiers of the First and Second Corps were boarding at the port of Turii, and at the mouth of the Klaty, there were thousands of warships in the First and Second Fleet. They are waiting there. They are the kingdoms that were ordered to rush back last month. For a while, they have been running back and forth between the Italian peninsula and the southern bay of the Peloponnese. The troop carriers of the First and Second Corps and King Davos’s ship were the last missions of the two fleets during this period, and of course the most important one.
The huge fleet sailed out of Turri Bay, crossed the mouth of the Adriatic Sea, passed through coastal islands such as Corfu, Kephalonia, and Zakynthos, and entered the Gulf of Messenia.
Although Messenia is now an affiliate of the Kingdom of Dionian, most of its council members have Dionian citizenship rights, and Messenian citizens from Black Laos are full of Dionian citizens. Gratitude and respect, 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 Greek mainland, 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 The supply and demand of the two corps soldiers.
