"Where is he now?" Daves asked with interest.

"He had retired the year before and returned to Amendorara, but he is a person who can't stay idle, and he applied to the Ministry of Military Affairs to be a military training officer for Amendorara..."

"Zantiparis can still lead the army to kill the enemy and contribute to the kingdom when he is in his 60s. Ketisus is younger than him. I think his performance should be equally good, but..." Daves is a little uncertain Asked: "He has repeatedly refused to serve as the commander of the army, will he agree this time?"

"Your Majesty, this time is different from the past. The first legion has no legion commander when it may face battle at any time. This is actually a big crisis for the first legion, and Kettesus is The veterans of the First Legion will never stand by, not to mention that this is a temporary takeover, I believe he will not refuse!" Alexis said confidently.

"Okay, it's him!" Daves agreed very simply, and then asked: "Who can succeed Prosous?"

Alexis hesitated and said: "What does your Majesty think of Matonis?"

"He is a fierce general. It is okay to charge and fall into battle, but he lacks the experience of commanding multiple corps, and the local political environment in Greece is complicated..."

Davos said it very tactfully, but Alexis understood it, and he went on to say: "How about Olivers?"

"Olivers is indeed agile, but he also lacks the experience of commanding multi-corps operations, and sometimes he is not decisive enough at critical times, and now the army is facing the Spartans..." Daves said. The same is euphemistic.

"What about Lizaru?"

"You forgot that I specifically said last time not to send non-Greek citizens to fight, let alone the commander of the first army."

"Your Majesty, I was negligent! So...what about Hiros?"

"How could Silos suddenly abandon the important task of the chief executive of the Turrii region and go to the Peloponnese to lead the army to fight, not to mention that he has been away from the front line for many years, and I am afraid that he is a little rusty about commanding operations... Not only him, but Capps is the same." Daves was a little dissatisfied with the candidates he mentioned, and couldn't help saying: "What do you think of Patroclus?"

Alexis was prepared for a long time, and he immediately responded: "Patrolocos is indeed a more suitable candidate, but now he is located in the Po area, always fighting against the Agulians, and ensuring Po. The stability of the region is really not suitable to be removed at this time...Sextus is also the same in the Iberian region, and Calcidis is also very capable, but also lacks the experience of commanding multiple legions..."

Davers looked at him and spoke a little harder: "With so many generals in the kingdom, can't we find a suitable candidate?!"

"Your Majesty, any one of the generals mentioned above can be the commander of any army, just because of the first expedition to Greece. In order to better show the strength of the kingdom to our mother state, our requirements are even greater. It's only high." Alexis persuaded in the same tone, he paused, and then said with joy: "Your Majesty, I have thought of a suitable candidate, which should meet your requirements!"

"Oh, you said."

"Plintors." Alexis said with a certain tone: "Although he is now the Chief of Staff, he used to serve as the commander of the 14th Army Corps and also commanded too much during the Western Mediterranean War. The Legion has performed well in combat. His majesty should know more about the merits he has made than me."

"But he is now the Chief of Staff, and his military affairs are heavy--"

"Tormid or Phillips can temporarily take over."

"Hmm..." Daves stroked his chin and said in a deep voice, "Wait for Plintors and I to discuss personally and listen to his wishes, then come to make a decision."

After watching Alexis walk out of the conference hall, Daves said softly with some emotion: "Many old people in the military department are reluctant to give young people more opportunities. It seems that even Alexis There can be no exception."

At this time, Hernipolis said: "Your Majesty, I think Master Alexis and Master Printoles are very close."

Hearing this, Daves was silent for a moment before slowly saying: "They have been a friendship for many years."

"Your Majesty." Hernipolis looked at Daves, boldly said softly: "I also have a suitable candidate, I want to recommend it to you."

"Oh? You have someone to choose?" Daves came interested and smiled: "Tell me."

"I think Prince Cloto Kataks is suitable for the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary army."

The candidate Hernipolis said was beyond what Daves expected. He looked at Hernipolis, but thought in his heart: It hasn’t been long for his son to return to Turri, and he has never had a relationship with Hernipolis. What contact, is this just Hernipolis' own thoughts?

Davers asked tentatively: "Clotto rarely goes to battle to kill the enemy, and he has no experience in commanding the army. How can he be the commander-in-chief? This is a life-and-death war, not a game!"

"His Royal Highness Cloto has no experience, and he can be assisted by Plintors. Your Majesty, did you not say before that when you returned from Rome, your Royal Highness Cloto should take on more important tasks! Grams! His Royal Highness Lotto is your heir, and the future King Dionian, although he can't be victorious on the battlefield like you, but at least he must have a certain influence on the army, otherwise he will face the likes of Alexis, Amintas decides the military generals who have lived and died like this. Can he calmly refute their suggestions and put forward his own opinions?" Hernipolis said earnestly.

Davers stared at him for a long time, and sighed in a gentle voice: "Only you in the whole kingdom can think about me like this!"

………………………………………………

At dusk, Daves returned to his mansion on the hill.

Dinner is the liveliest time of the Davos royal family, and the big round table is full of people: King Daves and two princesses, Croto Kataks couple and two children, and Apok And a child, Eunice and Eunice (in the last year, Eunice married the famous sculptor Arik of Tarantum), Briantes, Ivia, and Cynthia and her two Two children, Adoris’s wife Ai Dui and one child.

Since the children grew up a few years ago and started to have their own families and careers, Daves and his wife are getting old and eager for a lively and prosperous family. However, the house is often deserted, so Daves hired The best engineers in the kingdom designed according to the topography of the entire hill, and then Kristia invested heavily and hired a large construction team to build multiple mansions on the hill according to the drawings.

The hills of Kings Hill are gentle, and the tops and sides of the hills are suitable for building a large number of houses, but because of Davers's noble status, there is only one mansion in the entire hill. Because the funds were sufficient, only half a year later, there were a few more mansions on the hills.

Then Daves forced Apox and Antebris to order them to move to a new residence. Later, Eunice did the same after getting married. Although Antebris had conflicts, In the end, he had to succumb.

Davers also requested that the whole family eat together as much as possible in the evening. Sometimes Kristia would also call Cynthia and Adoris's family to come for dinner. Since the Cloto Kataks family has just returned, Cynthia and Adoris's wife often come to meet up these days.

"...The game is about to end, our team is still one point behind, but we still have the final attack, and we are only three meters from the end line, three meters is not far, right?" Ante Briss asked around His children.

"Yes!!" The older children rushed to answer, and the younger children yelled at the same time.

"But—" Ante Briss said with a serious expression with both hands, "The opponent's players lined up in a dense wall of people, blocked in front of us, there is no gap to pass, what should I do?! After the referee blew the whistle, the game began. Our quarterback made a pass to the left winger. After diverting the opponent’s attention, he quickly handed the football to the player next to him. This took it. The player of the ball is me!"

The children made surprised sounds.

"Time is running out. I held the ball, lowered my head, and arched forward with the assistance of my teammates. The opposing player desperately blocked me, and even several people pressed on me. I used my whole body With the strength of carrying them, I just arched forward... I had my feet in front of my eyes, and I couldn't see where the end line was. I felt that the time was very long... Suddenly, we heard a whistle and we touched down! The game is over! Now, our Turiyi Rugby Team won the championship of the Kingdom Rugby Finals, and I, your uncle became the best player in this final!"

"Wow! My uncle is amazing!!..." In the admiring eyes of the children, Anter Briss looked complacent.

"Isn’t it the one outstanding performance in the finals last year? Look at you, you are bragging every day!" Eunice couldn’t help saying: "I always think that the reason why you were able to succeed , It’s because of your identity that Udia’s players dare not hurt you—"

"You are a blasphemy against the sacred rugby finals!" Ante Briston was flushed with anger at the time, and stood up suddenly: "Eunice, you talk nonsense again--"

"Okay!" Kristia patted the table vigorously, and shouted: "You two will be quiet for me! When you are both so big, you quarrel as soon as you meet, and don’t set up for the children. A good role model!"

"She said first--"

"You still said it!" Kristia yelled again.

Anter Briss had to shut up aggrievedly.
