"Okay, that's it, then you will follow me to go to Persia!" At this time, Daves smiled, looked at the former minister of commerce in the crowd, and said, "Marigi, you will immediately You can go back to your hometown, shouldn’t you feel very happy?"

Maliji replied calmly: "Your Majesty, I have lived here for most of my life. I have already been a Dionian. The reason why I want to follow you to Persia is because I am familiar with it and I hope to be able to fight. I will give you some good suggestions along the way."

"You are duplicity." Epithenis ran aside.

Marigi's words reminded Daves, he immediately asked: "Is Izam among you who are going to Persia?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, he is the most active one to sign up. After all, he can be considered to be able to return to his hometown." Phillips replied with a smile.

Alexis immediately understood the meaning of Daves' words, and then said: "He should be at home now, do I need to call him right away?"

"Don't worry, there will be time in the future." Daves looked at the crowd and exclaimed: "Our old brothers have not been together for a long time! Today, don't worry about going back, I will send People go and call in Martonis, Olivers, Alpunes and other former mercenary veterans in Turei, I will set a banquet in the palace, let's have a good chat, okay?!"

"Great!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

…………………………………………………………………………

In the middle of the night, Davers, who had finished the banquet, returned to the mansion of King's Hill.

When he came to the backyard, he found that the lobby of the main building in front of him was brightly lit by candlelight, which was very strange. I walked in and saw the two princesses Christoya and Agnes sitting in the huge living room. He was drunk and asked: "It's so late, why don't you two... why don't you go to bed?" /

"Your Majesty, we are waiting for you." Christoya said angrily.

"Wait for me? Uh...what's the matter?" Daves burped.

Agnes immediately went to help him sit down, and then brought him a cup of hot honey water that was already prepared, and asked with concern: "We heard that your Majesty will personally lead the army to attack Persia this time. Is it true?"

Davers shook her hand and comforted softly: "Don't worry about it, Persia's national power is obviously weak now, and we are fully capable of defeating it completely, so that it will no longer be a hidden danger to the kingdom...Uh, Besides, this time is a war between the two great powers of Dionia and Persia. Almost all the kingdom’s legions will be dispatched. If I don’t conquer myself, I’m not relieved!"

Daves squeezed Aegness’s hand lightly, looked at Kristia, and his tone became more gentle: "Don’t worry, this is the last time I will lead soldiers in battle. After this war is over, I will I will stay by your side well and won't worry you two anymore!"

"Your Majesty." Kristonia was a little moved, but the expression on her face quickly became serious: "You used to lead soldiers in battle, my sister and I can only wait at home, but this time you are going to Persia , We have already discussed it, and we want to go with you!"

"What?!" When Daverston was half awake, he looked at Kristia and then at Agnes beside him, and asked in disbelief, "Aren't you kidding me?"

"Your Majesty!" Christia straightened her chest and said in a more serious tone: "I have discussed with Agnes for a day today, and now I am making this request very seriously, and I hope you will take it seriously too! "

"Okay." Daves let go of Agnes's hand, and sat up straight, coughed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I don't agree!"

Seeing Kristia's face raised, Davers went on to explain: "The Dionian Military Law was made by me. It is precisely because the army strictly enforces it that it can obtain it again and again. A victory has resulted in a powerful kingdom today. Article 91 of the Military Law specifically stipulates that “generals and soldiers shall not bring their families to march or fight, nor may they rob women, and violators shall be punished by beheading!” Do you want me to be beheaded? Right?

Even if no one dared to do this, but as the drafter of the military law and the commander of the whole army, I violated the military law, so will the soldiers below seriously abide by it? Once this bad head is started, and the military discipline will eventually deteriorate, can the army win the battle? ! ……"

Agnes was a little moved, she looked at Kristia.

Kristia was unmoved: "Military law stipulates that the army must not have a woman following the march? So are the nurses in the various army medical camps not women?"

Davos retorted without hesitation: "They are not women, they are soldiers. In the past few decades, soldiers have not regarded them as women. They are already part of various legions."

Christoia said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the nurses in this medical camp were formed according to your Majesty's suggestion. I was the captain of the nurses at the time, and now I can serve again as well—"

"It's definitely not possible!" Daves said firmly: "You two are now the princesses of the Kingdom of Dionian, the mother of a country in the hearts of the people. Going to the medical camp will only disrupt the normal order of the medical camp and affect their work efficiency! More importantly, your safety cannot be guaranteed. In case something happens to you, can I control the battle with peace of mind! "

"Your Majesty." Kristonia suddenly flushed her eyes, and said with a little choking, "I followed you from Persia to Great Greece. I haven't returned to my hometown for decades. I have heard business people in Asia Minor say that since After Persia regarded the kingdom as an enemy, I don’t know how to find out that I was born in Miletus. Although my father was punished by the Persians because of Cyrus’ rebellion... he passed away 10 years ago, but this time the Persians were My father’s family hurt the killers...Hundreds of people, even neighbors... either were killed or became slaves..."

Clear tears flowed from her well-maintained white cheeks, but her voice became a bit sharp: "Your Majesty, I swear in the name of Hades, this time I must go to Miletus myself. All the Persians who participated in the killing of my family and all the accomplices of Miletus must be punished! All the surviving tribesmen, I will also try my best to find them so that they can settle down again and live a prosperous life. This is what I owe them. Yes!..."

Daves was silent: In fact, he knew from the information obtained by Aristotle five years ago about the tragic massacre of the Kristia family. In order not to make his wife sad, he concealed it. , I didn’t expect that Kristia had known it for a long time, but she has been silently enduring it... If her father was retaliated by the Persian king for being involved in Cyrus’s rebellion, it can also be said that it has nothing to do with Dionia. The destruction of the family is really the cause of Daves. Now Kristia swears in the name of god, which shows that her attitude is resolute.

If Davers still objected, it would undoubtedly cause rifts in the relationship between husband and wife for decades, so he hesitated.

At this moment, Aegness said: "Your Majesty, do you think this is okay? My sister and I don't go to Persia with the army to avoid embarrassing you. When the battle goes smoothly, we will follow the heavy fleet..."

"It's still a bit dangerous..." Daves finally compromised in the face of the expectant and pleading eyes of the two wives: "Well, I will arrange this matter... But Kristia, you go Now, who is in charge of your chamber of commerce? And Aegness, who will host the Temple of Hera?"

"Eunice is now able to act on her own. I am leaving. Of course she will manage the Chamber of Commerce."

"Cynthia will preside over the daily sacrifices to the Temple of Hera for me."

"How about little Chris and them? Are you willing to leave them alone?" Daves made a tentative final effort.

Christoya said firmly: "I am not their mother, so what can I do for you."

Seeing the determination of the two wives, Daves lowered his head and took a sip of honey water, and then said: "Let’s do this... After the entire western part of Asia Minor is conquered, I will notify the Military Affairs Department and send an army to pick you up. Go to Miletus, and after you have dealt with Miletus, you two will return, okay?"

"No!" Kristia immediately objected: "If you conquer Persia this time, I and Aegness will go to Babylon with you!"

Davers was taken aback: "What are you doing in Babylon?"

Agnes stubbornly did not speak, but Kristia was quite straightforward: "I heard that the king of Persia has many women. We are afraid that you will marry another one, so we have to keep an eye on it!"

Daves said: "What nonsense, how could I do such a thing that violates the military law! Besides, I am at this age, how can I still have that kind of mind!"

Kristia curled her lips: "Who knows, it is said that the Persian king is all ages and married his own daughter. My sister and I will follow you to avoid your mistakes!"

Davers shook his head helplessly.

Although the Persians in Asia Minor have successively received the news that “Dionia declared war on Persia and formed a Greek coalition to attack Persia”, they also noticed that as the people of the local Greek city-states are preparing to reap the harvest. The farmland did not begin military mobilization, so it was believed that the Greek coalition attack would not come too early. As a result, the 10th Diorian Army successfully landed on the beaches of the Persian region on the east bank of the Hellespond Strait.

Of course, even if the Governor of Misia Theopempus is prepared, he is unable to prevent the landing of the Dionian army, at best it will only cause some trouble for the Tenth Army.
