"Sit down, everyone has been waiting for you for a while." Daves, who was sitting at the top, looked at him with concern, and then said in a gentle tone: "Now you know the evils of alcoholism, in the future. Drink with restraint."

"It's so uncomfortable to be drunk. I will try not to drink in the future." This is the first time Croto Kataks is drunk. He touched his dizzy head and responded in a low voice.

"You only need to drink less, but it's impossible not to drink, otherwise you won't be able to get along with the soldiers better." A voice sounded next to him.

Clotokatax turned his head hurriedly and yelled cordially: "Big Brother! Thank you for your reminder!" Then turned to the other side and nodded in greeting: "Hello, brother-in-law!"

Patroclus smiled and nodded, and also suggested friendly: "I was also very uncomfortable when I was drunk for the first time. At that time, my team officer brought me honey and water to drink, and I soon felt better. "

"Honey water? I'll try it later." Cloto Kataks thanked him, and then sat down beside Adoris.

Daves made a gesture to the servant standing by, and soon the dinner was on the table.

Daves smiled, his gaze slowly swept over the three of Adoris, Croto Kataks, and Patroclus, and said in a calm tone: "There is an old saying in the East called'father and son in battle. Bing’ means that father and son are fighting at the same time, and they tend to be very united and able to win the war. This time on the expedition to Latham, all the grown men in our family are all here... I’m ashamed, it’s been almost two months since I’ve been here. Because of the intense war and busy government affairs during this time, and to avoid suspicion, I didn’t give you more care. Today is a rare opportunity, so I asked the three of you to come over in the evening. We will gather with our family and have a good meal. , Drink and talk.

I'm very happy, the fighting is so frequent and fierce, but none of you have suffered much damage. This is the greatest luck! So for this first glass of wine, we have to thank Hades for blessing us! "

Speaking, Daves raised his glass.

Adoris and Patroclus also raised their glasses one after another, but Cloto Kataks hesitated a little.

"Clotto, you just sober up, drink honey water." Davers said.

His words made Cloto Kataks change his mind. He asked the servant to add more water to the wine, and then poured a glass.

After the four silently prayed to Hades, they drank the glass.

"Your Majesty!" Patroclus put down his glass, filled it again, and said, "I should--"

"Uh!" Dafus solemnly corrected: "I said this is a party in our house, why do you still call me that! You should call me like Cynthia?"

Patroclus hesitated for a moment, then respectfully shouted: "Father!".

"Hmm!" Daves responded with a smile.

"Wrong call, shouldn't I get a penalty first?" Adoris looked at Patroclus with piercing eyes.

Patroclus drank it dry, and then pointed the empty glass to Adoris.

To be honest, although Patroclus is Adoris’s brother-in-law, they really haven’t eaten together. Patroclus’s straightforwardness immediately confronted Adoris’ temper, and he immediately replied. Take a cup.

"Haha, Paltrow, Cynthia is my eldest daughter. She has helped us take care of other children since we were young, so they are very convinced by Cynthia. You married her, Adoris and they all have a little bit of resentment!" Daves deliberately joked about the incident.

Adoris touched his nose slightly awkwardly, and Croto Kataks felt a little shock, but it has been more than two years since he has accepted this fact and has forgotten the feeling in his heart.

Patroclus smiled, filled the glass again, and said, "Father... Father, what I just wanted to say is... The helmet that Croto gave me is very protective, and it saved me. I was killed. When defending Ostia, I was fighting with the enemy. An arrow shot on the side of my helmet. The helmet resisted the impact of the arrow very well. It didn't cause me dizziness, but gave me a head shot. The enemy provides opportunities..."

Patroclus touched his head, recalling the dangerous situation at the time, and said with lingering fear: "So, I have to toast you, Croto, thank you very much! You saved my life!"

Patroclus stood up and sincerely raised his glass to Croto Kataks.

Clotokatax hurriedly stood up and said: "My father was wrong just now. We didn't blame you for taking away my sister, but thanked my sister for bringing us such a good brother-in-law! Now we are As a family, it is okay to help each other! On the contrary, according to Dionian tradition, I should first offer you a drink to brother-in-law!"

Daves was very satisfied that Croto Kataks was able to overcome his previous emotional entanglement and behaved so generously and decently. He was pleased to watch the two clinking glasses and drinking, and happily patted the table: "Right, right. Now, this is the family!"

Then Daves took another glass of wine and said loudly: "This second glass of wine is to thank you for your outstanding performance in this war! Paltrow, as the captain of the First Army, you are helping Wolsey, attacking Rome, defending Ostia... In these difficult battles, I was calm-headed and commanded properly. I took the lead in times of crisis, boosted morale, and performed very well. I am proud of you! /

Adoris, in the battles to stop the Roman reinforcements, to conquer the city of Phodina and Gaby, you not only performed very bravely, but also led your team well, so you were promoted to the captain of the team, not a horse. Tonys pleases you because you are my son, but you won by your own record. I am proud of you!

Crotto, you have just turned 18 years old and you are on the battlefield for the first time. I originally just wanted you to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield. I didn’t intend to let you fight with the enemy alone, but you took the initiative to fight many times. Participated in the defense of Roman reinforcements, the defense of Ostia, the attack of Phodina and Gaby, especially during the storming of Gaby. At the most critical moment, you bravely led the court guards to the top of the city to help the attack. You are already an excellent fighter, and I am proud of you!

So my glass of wine is to honor the three outstanding young people in our family. You have used your outstanding performance to add glory to the royal family. I thank you! "

Davers stood up, raised a glass of wine to the three of them with a sincere expression, and then he was clean.

Klotokatax, Adoris, and Patroclus listened to Daves's words, all of them were in high spirits, and after smiling at each other, they all raised their wine glasses in response to Daves. .

Davers filled the wine again, looked at them, and said earnestly: "This last glass of wine... to our relatives! We are fighting in the front, and they are worried in the back! Adoris, Croto, Your two mothers send a letter every day. Most of the content is asking about the condition of the two of you in Latham, what did you eat today? Did you participate in the battle? Did you get injured in the battle? ...In order to make them feel at ease, I have to spend my energy every day to write good words and comfort them.

The same goes for you, Paltrow. The letters that Cynthia writes to you every day are forwarded by me. I think there must be full of care for you... So you have to remember that we are at war It's for the peace of your homeland. Don't be overly addicted to fighting and forget the relatives who worry about you in the back! "

The three people who were still very energetic just now became solemn in an instant. Patroclus thought of his wife who loved him so much and was pregnant, and Cloto Kataks thought of the mother of Agnes who loved him. With Christoja’s mother who was stern and caring on the surface, Adoris thought of Christoja’s mother who had always cared for him and her sister who had taken care of him since childhood. The three of them quietly picked up their wine glasses, and then Drink it full of emotions.

There was silence in the living room for a while, and Daves said: "Okay, three glasses of wine have been drunk, and then we will let go of eating and talking casually. Cloto, you have an upset stomach. After making the oatmeal porridge, you should drink a little first."

The servant has brought the steaming rice porridge to Croto Kataks' table, he scooped a spoonful, and drank slowly.

The dinner prepared for them in the evening is beef and mutton, because Daves thinks it is more lively for the family to eat this, but Patroclus and Adoris have eaten a lot at the noon banquet, so the appetite is not It was very vigorous. After just a few bites, Adoris couldn't help but ask: "Father, should we attack the Roman army hiding in the colonial city southwest of Latham next?"

"Yes." Daves affirmed his question and said clearly: "Rome is a wolf. We should step up the attack when it is injured. We will never give it a chance to recover and avoid it. Bite us back, so I have decided that tomorrow I will personally lead the army to attack the Roman colonial city in the southwest and other Latin city-states that have not yet been surrendered."

"Will our legion also participate?" Adoris asked hurriedly.

"The Second Army will follow me on the march." After Daves said, he looked at Patroclus: "The First Army will stay in Rome temporarily, and work with the Lucania Reserve Army to help Chief Executive Ya Sisters, maintain order and stability in Rome. At the same time, you have to send the wounded soldiers back to Turri, and Turri’s reserve soldiers should also come to Rome to make up for the vacancy of your First Legion.

After the first legion completes the reorganization, the second legion will rush back to Rome to change defenses with you... so I hope that while eliminating the Roman army, all the legions can be restored to full combat effectiveness as soon as possible, because we have sufficient manpower. There are also sufficient reserves of military rations. "
