Although Daves’s tone was calm, Aristilas still felt anger from Daves’s indifferent face. He bowed his head in horror to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, this is the negligence of the intelligence service! We did not investigate in time. Coming out, causing losses to the kingdom, and asking for punishment!"

"This is indeed your dereliction of duty!" Davos suddenly increased his tone and said solemnly: "Although Plossous is incognito, it is not easy to investigate, but if things are so easy, you still need to set up you The intelligence department! There are many foreign residents in Dionia, and many of them still hold important positions. Once someone harbors dissent, they may cause great losses to the kingdom. Therefore, your intelligence department should do your best to put these in important positions. Check out the past life experience of foreign citizens to ensure the safety of the kingdom!..."

Davers paused for a moment, and his tone became softer again: "...The intelligence department has done a lot in the past. This time it is the first mistake. I will fine you half a year's salary as a warning to the intelligence department."

"Thank you for your forgiveness!" Aristilas said gratefully, and he was relieved.

"Help me get Hernipolis in when I go out."

"Yes." Aristilas walked out of the chamber, feeling a chill on his back, only to realize that Bolton was soaked in cold sweat.

Seeing Hernipolis walk in, the expression on Davers's face was much milder than before: "Heni, send a warrant to the Ministry of Military Affairs."

"Okay." Hernipolis immediately sat down at the desk and took out the paper and pen.

"Tell Alexis that the commander of the Peloponnese does not need to be changed for the time being, and Prosous will still be in charge."

Henipolis was taken aback and couldn't help but reminded: "Your Majesty, Plosouus is the prince of Sparta. Now he is recounting his old relationship with his former comrades, in case he--"

"What if he doesn't carry out the mission seriously, or even leads the army to rebel... You think so." Davers took his words, hahaha smiled, and his face was full of confidence: "The expeditioner Most of the soldiers are citizens who have really grown up in the Dionian territory. They love and support the kingdom that nurtures them. Once Plossous is unruly, he will only be abandoned by them, not to mention in the army on the expedition. There are also Olivers, Trotiras, and Cyclion! Today's Sparta is the sun that is about to set, and Ploseus, who has lived in the kingdom for many years and has won a huge reputation, should not give up everything here. , And turned to Sparta, whom he has always hated!"

Davers paused, and then said: "What's more, a dignified Spartan prince actually served as the commander of tens of thousands of soldiers in Dionia. If this news is known by the Greek city-states, It not only demonstrates the power of Dionia, but also makes them feel our magnanimity. Maybe it will have a special impact on the Greek mainland..."

"So it's like this..." Hernipolis nodded thoughtfully.

"You will return a letter to Plossous in my name, roughly meaning...well,'I trust him completely, let him not have any worries, and continue to follow his own plan. Fighting against Sparta, I will fully support him as before.'...After writing, give it to me to sign, and then send it out as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Aris Tiras returned to the Ministry of Intelligence and immediately convened a meeting to put pressure on his subordinates, demanding that the leaders of various regions must increase their power to conduct strict investigations on foreign citizens in their regions, especially those kingdom officials. Thoroughly figure out their background before coming to the kingdom, and if anyone has any mistakes, they will be severely punished.

The meeting lasted until dark, before Aristotle announced the adjournment. When he returned home with his exhausted body, he found that his wife was smiling and in a good mood.

"This afternoon, Princess Kristia invited me over, saying that I had worked hard during this time and helped her a lot. Toya’s Chamber of Commerce has done things. In the past two years, Christoya has been busy taking care of her grandson. She has devoted less energy to the Chamber of Commerce and relied more on Asuna to help Eunice). To express her gratitude, she gave me a lot of money, enough There are two tarients!"

Aris Tiras was taken aback, and immediately thought of his half-year salary deduction, and immediately realized whether it was King Daves' compensation for him.

"I didn’t plan to accept it, so I repeatedly turned down the princess, but the princess asked me,'Is the villa your family built in Catania finished?' The money saved was spent there, and there are still some balances in arrears..."

Asuna kept talking babbledly, but Aristilas suddenly interrupted her and asked: "You told the princess about the villa?"

"I don't have it. Didn't you tell me not to tell anyone." Asuna's answer gave Aristilas another stunned: Since the intelligence department turned from the dark to the light, the kingdom's After the official confession, the business suddenly increased, and he was getting older and less energy, and began to have a little retreat, so he bought land and built a villa under the foothills of the western edge of the Catania Plain, thinking about his future retirement. After that, I was able to go home for the elderly, but this has been going on quietly, no one has told... How did your Majesty know?

As soon as Aris Tiras changed his mind, his heart suddenly became chilly.

A few days later, Daves received a letter from Leotichides again, this time he called in the Secretary of the Army Alexis.

"Alexis, Prosous sent a letter requesting his resignation as a commander and also requesting that he be transferred from the army expedition to Sparta. What do you think of this matter?" Daves said mildly. Asked.

Alexis was taken aback, and saw Davers's unhappy face, thinking: My opinion is not the same as what you just said, but it was rejected by you last time.

Of course he would not say that, but frowned, and said in a slightly embarrassing manner: "Your Majesty, Plosouus is not only the commander of the expedition to Sparta, but also the commander of the First Army. The Army Corps is the main force in combat. Now that the army is already in the war zone, it may start fighting with the Spartan army at any time. At this critical moment, Proseus, as the head coach, asked to leave. This will not only weaken the morale of the army. Combat power will seriously affect our success or failure in the Peloponnesian War!"

Davers looked at him and said slowly: "However, Proseus confessed in the letter that he, as a Spartan, has nostalgia for his hometown and cannot lead the army to do his best to fight Spartans. People are fighting, so they asked to be transferred back, so as not to affect our battle in Greece."

"This is the fault of Proseus!" Alexis said in a deep voice: "If he confesses his true life to his majesty before the army leaves, he will not fall into the current dilemma. According to military law , He should accept some punishment!"

"...Well, since Proseus has no desire to fight, and staying there will only affect the fight, so transfer him back. Of course, it is necessary to punish him. This matter is up to you. After the Ministry of Military Affairs discussed in accordance with the "Military Law", it was submitted and submitted to me for approval."

Speaking of this, Daves said earnestly again: "But...it’s not easy for the kingdom to cultivate an excellent commander. After so many years of war, only you and Prosous can truly Take a stand alone and fight for the kingdom—"

"Your Majesty, you are the best commander in the kingdom!" Alexis hurriedly interjected.

Davos smiled lightly, then sighed lightly, and said in a strong tone: "Prossius concealed his life experience, it is excusable, and he did not secretly collude with the enemy, and actively confessed... Uh, the punishment should not be too heavy."

Alexis hesitated for a moment, and then responded: "Understood, Your Majesty."

Davers nodded in satisfaction, and then turned to another topic: "For the commander of the expeditionary force and the temporary successor of the first legion commander, can you choose someone?"

Alexis did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.

Daves first motioned to Hernipolis, who was recording on the side, to ask someone to get some slurry, and then waited quietly.

After a while, Alexis looked up and said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the First Legion are more arrogant and untamable than other Legions. Its first captain was newly appointed last year. I am afraid that he has not yet Prestige is fully established in the legion. If temporarily acting as a legion commander, it will be difficult to tame the soldiers, and it will be difficult to fully exert the combat effectiveness of the first legion, and the first legion is the main force of this operation, and its temporary legion commander must be carefully selected. ..."

"Um..." Daves nodded in agreement.

According to the "Dionian Military Law": There is an abnormal situation during the war, and the corps commander is not allowed to serve, and the first team commander can temporarily take over. Now that the first captain has been eliminated, there is no possibility of other captains taking over. Alexis did not mention the third captain, Adoris, and Daves seems to have completely forgotten.

"I have a very suitable candidate-Kttesus, does your majesty remember him?"

"Of course I remember, this is the first time I heard of a team officer insisting on refusing to serve as captain." Daves smiled and asked jokingly: "How many promotions did he reject in total?

"This...I don’t know, but Ketisus has served as the first captain of the First Corps for more than 10 years. There is no doubt that he is the longest first captain in the kingdom’s army. He is a soldier. Zhong’s prestige is sometimes even higher than the commander of the regiment. During the Western Mediterranean War, when Amintas was the commander, he was temporarily in charge of the battlefield command of the First Corps several times and performed very well..."
