Melisanda was not surprised by this. He knew that his mother actually preferred to live in the small city of Amendorara, and only to take care of Felicius, he chose to live in the noisy city of Turíy. . After Felicius set off, she felt lonely, so she naturally chose to come to Amendorara to live with her daughter-in-law and grandson.
Melisanda walked along the corridor.
"Brother! Brother!..." A little girl ran towards him.
"Little Doris!" Melisanda greeted her and picked up Doris, the three-year-old daughter born to her mother and Felicius.
"Brother! Brother!..." Then another child staggered towards him.
"Be careful, my baby." Melisanda hurriedly hugged him with his other hand, and then corrected dumbfoundingly: "I am not your brother, but your father. I want to call him Dad. I know Yeah, call it Dad!"
This boy is the little Alsinis, the son of Alsinis and Hepna. Melisanda took care of Hepna's pregnancy, so he treated the young Alsinius as his own.
It's also very interesting to say that the daughter of his stepfather and mother is very different from Melisanda in age, but is about the same age as his two-year-old stepson, Alsinis, and more like a sibling. And little Alsinis also loves to play with this little aunt.
"No, just call it brother! Just call it brother!" The naughty Doris urged.
Little Alsinis looked at Doris ignorantly, then at Melisanda, before he called out again: "Brother! Brother!"
Melisanda was angry and funny. He patted Doris on the **** twice, pretending to be vicious and said: "If you chaotically teach Little Al again, my brother is going to beat you!"
Doris burst into tears immediately.
"Melisanda, how old you are, I don't know how to let my sister!" There was a female voice that was not like a reproach, but more like a relief.
"Mother!" Melisanda stood up, yelled affectionately, then turned to the young and slender figure beside Delia, and said softly: "I'm back, Hepna."
Hepna stared at her husband who had already faded from childishness and was more robust and burly, and looked carefully at him until she confirmed that there were no injuries, she calmed down her worries and smiled at Meilishanda.
"Your Majesty Daves gave an order to let you go home and reunite only by repelling the enemy?! Why are you back now!" Delia asked in surprise, her new name for Daves The call went so smoothly because it was the loyal followers of Hades who pushed Daves to the throne.
"Because your majesty allowed us to go home to participate in donations, and we will return to the barracks tomorrow." Melisanda replied.
"Ah, I will go back tomorrow!" Hepna blurted out. She didn't expect the time to be together would be so short.
"When the war is over and peace is restored, you can let Melisanda stay at home as long as you want, but now they must drive away all the enemies that destroy our land!" Delia educates her daughter-in-law , She saw with her own eyes that the land in her hometown was ravaged by the Tarantums, so she didn't want this to happen again.
"You are right, mother." Hepna replied politely.
Melisanda gently pushed away the little hand that his son was scratching on his face, and said: "Your Majesty will soon lead us south to repel the Syracuse. The biggest problem now is that there is a shortage of food supplies. ——"
"I heard that your father's place (referring to Asprostum) is not very good..." Delia was very worried, not only because I heard that the soldiers on the front line were short of food, but also because of the battle. Even in the hinterland of Dionia, she could hear some bad things blaming her husband, such as poor command ability, etc. It is conceivable that the pressure of Felicius on the front line: "To donate Money and food, Hepuna and I were ready long ago. You just came back. We will send it to Victory Square together in a while."
"That's great!" Melisanda said happily, which saved him a lot of effort.
"Melisanda, my son, you have to help your father when you go to the south this time!" Delia said again.
How can I help him? My father is the south commander, and I am just a squad leader of a legion. Melisanda thought to herself, but her mouth was full of acceptance.
Hepna took the little Alsinis from his arms, Delia held Doris, and the family entered the main building.

"What are you talking about?! Lord... Your Majesty can't go home yet?!" Asuna asked anxiously, "But I heard that the soldiers in the barracks have disbanded and went home!"
Aristilas said calmly: "Your Majesty still has important things to do and will come back later, so let me tell Madam first."
"I see, we will wait for him to come back." Kristia responded with a smile.
Aristilas left.
"Sister, Daves, will he not be back today?!" Disappointment and worry intertwined on Agnes' pretty face, looking a little pitiful. Although she is already 24 years old, she was always favored by her father before she was married, and she was favored by Daves after marrying Turey. She was usually either at home or in the temple, and she had not experienced any major disturbances and frustrations. This time she was pregnant for the first time, and her heart was inevitably uneasy, and she needed someone to accompany her to comfort her (the dystocia rate in this era is still very high, even in Dionia, which is relatively advanced in medical care). But Daves went on the expedition for more than a month. I haven't been around, and I finally heard that I'm coming back, and in a blink of an eye I said I'd postpone it. It's natural to be in the mood for gains and losses.
Although Kristia’s mood is also a little depressed, as the mistress who manages the entire house, she still cheered up and tried her best to comfort her: "Sister, don’t worry, our husband, you don’t know him. He said that when he comes back today, he will definitely come back today! You, don’t worry, go to the bedroom and sleep for a while, so that when he comes back, you will be too sleepy to sleep."
"Well... Sister, don't forget to wake me up in a while." Agnes said softly, and she was helped by the female slave into the main building.
Christoia sighed lightly, feeling bitter for a while: Agnes had me comforting, but who would comfort me!
………………………………
At this moment, Daves is carefully examining a weapon placed on the table in the big tent: this is a spear, and its shape and style are the same as those used by heavy infantry. The only difference is that The length and diameter of the barrel. It is four meters long, two meters longer than the spears usually used by soldiers, and the diameter of the barrel is thicker.
As soon as Daves picked it up, the weapon merchant Tios hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, watch the top of your head!"
Daves’ height plus the length of the gun almost pierced the high roof. He had to lift it diagonally, shake a few shots, and make a few more stabs, and then asked with satisfaction: "This The spear does a good job. Does every shot behave like this?"
Tiostan said bluntly: "Your Majesty, you asked me to build 6000 such spears in such a short period of time. Of course I can’t make every shot like this one in your hand. The polished ones are very smooth, but I can assure you that there is no problem in using them to kill the enemy! And in terms of quality, these spears are stronger and more durable. Because of your approval, your Majesty, we cut down the Amendorara Mountains. The cedar here uses the wood used for building warships to find the spears, so that after such a long barrel is attached to the iron spear head, there will be no big tremors and easy breakage during the stabbing..."
Davers nodded: "Is it all finished?"
"I only found 1,400 shots, because Master Capus was in a hurry to use them, so I sent them here first."
Davers frowned and said, “Hurry up, I’m afraid we won’t be able to stay in Turei for a few days, and we will be on the battlefield again. A soldier, and we have to set aside time for training. Time is very tight!"
"Your Majesty, we have done our best! We just have to cut trees, move, cut, plan wood..." Tios began to complain.
Davers interrupted him: "I asked Capps to mobilize people from the bargaining camp for you to assist you in completing some less important processes, such as cutting trees, moving, etc., and your people are here at the end. Finish the production of spearheads and gun barrels, can this work?!"
"If this is the case..." Tios calculated it carefully, and then said loudly, "I should...I can guarantee that in three days...no, I will be able to send you all the spears the day after tomorrow!"
"Thanks for your hard work, then! With regard to the cost of this batch of weapons, the Treasury is now tight with money and can only be counted to you after the war is over. But don't worry, I will let Merses add 10 to you. % Interest."
As soon as Daves’s voice fell, Tios hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to donate all of these spears to the Alliance, and I also donated three talents to the Alliance, and I have also asked my family to take them. Victory Square. Your Majesty has taken the lead in setting an example for us. As a citizen of the Union, although I cannot go to the battlefield, I am willing to win this war for the Union and dedicate my strength!"
"Okay! Good point!" Daves praised loudly: "Of course your contributions are recorded. When the war is won, the Senate will reward you!"
Davos mentioned vaguely, so that Tios' spirit was refreshed, he immediately took out a few papyrus from his arms and handed them to Daves.
Davers took it and glanced at it. It was densely covered with handwriting, and looked at Tios with some doubts.
"Your Majesty, this is the foreign merchants in the Amendorara Handicraft Manufacturing Zone. They heard that the Union called on citizens to donate. They also said,'I hope to participate in the donation and help the Union tide over this difficulty.' This is what they drafted. List of donated materials.” Tios explained.
