The last sentence made Kristia’s eyes lit up, and she smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I'm just kidding you, why are you so serious? Every time you ask me, I didn’t take it seriously. Do it!"

Speaking of this, she propped up her upper body with her hands, leaned against Daves’s couch, and almost snuggled against his chest, her eyes flowed, and she said softly: "In the past few months, you have been busy Regarding the drought, it finally rained today. You should relax too. Let my sister and I accompany you tonight..."

"Sister!..." Although Christia's voice was very small, Agnes, who was on the side, could still hear her, her face flushed immediately.

Daves was quite moved after hearing this: The drought some time ago and the war that may occur in the future put him under a lot of pressure, and he really needs to relax!

He was about to tease the shy Agnes. A female slave walked through the rain and mist and hurried over: "Master, the guard is here to report, Elder Amintas insists on coming to see you!"

It's so late, Amintas still coming to see me? ! Daves moved in his heart, gently rubbed Christia’s scented shoulders, and said with a smile: "I will meet Ammentas first. You two will wait for me in the bedroom at night."

Speaking, he got up and went to the study.

Watching Davers leave, the smile on Kristia’s face disappeared, her expression became serious, and she said, "Agnes, don’t you think it’s weird?! For the first time in eight months Rain, your Majesty is not so happy, and it's so late, Amintas still came to see you, something important must have happened! I think it might be a war!"

"War?!" Agnes was taken aback, randomly showing some anxiety.

Christoya got up from the couch and shouted outside: "Molina! Bring the children in. After being exposed to the rain for a long time, it is easy to catch cold."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Agnes again and said without any doubt: "Tonight, our sisters will accompany your Majesty, so that he can relax and go to my bedroom."

"...Okay...Okay." In the end, she cared about Davers more than she was shy, and Agnes nodded hesitantly.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to ask you to send our First Army to Wolsey to help them repel the Romans!" In Daves' study, Amintas bluntly stated his intentions.

Daves was not surprised. When he heard him come to see him, he already had this speculation in his heart. He looked at the veteran who had begun to gray but his body was still strong and said with earnestness. "Amintas, my old friend, Rome is just a small enemy to Dionia. You are the commander of the most experienced army, and the first army you lead is the strongest. Our real enemy is to the south, on the island of Sicily, in Africa. Once Carthage really declares war on us, your first legion will be the first to be sent to Sicily to fight Dionysian The most powerful enemy since the founding of the Asian nation-Carthage! The First Army must be used on the blade, I hope you can understand!"

After hearing this, Amintas hesitated a little, but he quickly became firm again: "Your Majesty, the current combat effectiveness of the Second Army, Fourth Army, Fifth Army, and even Sixth Army They are not weaker than the First Legion, they can completely repel the Carthaginian attack. But going north to fight Rome is a rare opportunity to lead the independent army, I hope your Majesty can give me such an opportunity!" Amintas said quite Straightforward, but this is his style.

Daves saw the determination in Amintas’ eyes, and he suddenly understood: Over the years, this comrade, who has followed him from Persia to Great Greece, has supported him many times, but has never asked for anything in return. In the army, he resolutely implemented his orders and became his sharp knife to siege the city and break the enemy, but he was not careless in his heart.

Antonius led the army alone and conquered Syracuse, Sicily; Alexis led the army alone, conquered Copsa and Enrona, and later led the army alone to conquer Dawny; less senior than him The Hiros led the army and conquered the Lokri region; even Proseus (Leotizides), who became a citizen of Dionian after the establishment of the Dionian League, led the army alone and conquered Sikerians; recently, Lizaru, who was born in Lucanians, led the Third Army and Campania's coalition forces to defeat the Kautini.

Amintas, who thinks he is older than them and has more battlefield experience than them, must be grieving. As a general, who doesn't want to lead the army alone, defeat the enemy, and win honor for himself.

It seems that I was negligent! Daves tapped the back of the chair with his fingers: Rejecting Amintas' request? This will undoubtedly hurt the heart of this old friend, and it will make the old comrades in the past feel that after becoming the king, they have alienated their concern for them; but agree to Amintas' request? I really worry that Amintas, who is already fighting bravely, will put the First Army in trouble because of his eagerness to do meritorious service! ......So what should I do?

Daves thought, his eyes lit up gradually, and he slowly said, "Amintas, I can inform the Military Department to go to Wolsey from the First Army, but you must promise me a request! "

Amintas saw Daves's silence before and thought he would disagree. Hearing this, he was overjoyed and quickly said: "Don't say it is a request. I will agree to all ten requests. Let me go!"

Davers laughed and said: "It's not an embarrassing request. On the contrary, it is very helpful to you. You should know, Puerto Lins. He once assisted Alexis in capturing Copsa and Enona. He also assisted Lizaru in defeating the Kautini. He knew the situation in the north very well. I sent him to assist you. I believe it will be very helpful for you to defeat the Romans."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I am very happy to work with Portolins, and I will definitely get along well with him!" Amintas immediately promised.

Davers nodded and said: "Go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow you will be busy preparing for the expedition. It is best to lead the First Corps on the expedition the day after tomorrow."

"Yes!" Amintas stood up immediately, and after solemnly delivered a military salute, he still felt unable to express his excitement and gratitude, and stepped forward to give Daves a strong hug.

Daves watched him leave happily, feeling quite in his heart: In the past few years, he has somewhat ignored the feelings of these old people, should I think about them more next?

…………………………………

Sent away Amintas, Daves was thinking: Immediately rush to Kristia’s bedroom to see if his two wives are really waiting for him together, Kristia seemed to be joking before His proposal also made him quite tempted.

At this moment, the servant came to report again: Sostatus begged to see him.

Davers was startled: What's the matter with this guy coming so late?

Cunogolata mentioned his eldest son to Daves several times during his lifetime, saying that he had an out-of-character, disliked work, and a preference for fantasy.

But in fact, after an investigation by Aristiras, Sostatus was actually very talented in business. Especially after the South-Italian War, Sostatus used the money he had previously earned to build a larger fleet and seized the business opportunity that Dionia had obtained a large amount of land but lacked people and materials. Immigrants from the Eastern Mediterranean were continuously transported to Greece. At the same time, they opened up the sea trade routes of Carthage and Egypt, which are rich in grain. They bought a large amount of low-priced food, and made a lot of money for themselves, but also for Dionia. Contributed to stabilizing the new territory.

Since then, Sostatus has continued to open up new trade channels, such as the Celtic region north of the Iberian Peninsula, the Illyria region on the north side of the Adriatic Sea... with Dioni Ya's daily commodities and wine were exchanged for unique goods in these regions, such as gold, silver, iron, zinc... and other metal mines, amber, agate, fur... and other rare goods, which once again increased his wealth.

At the same time, he also loves to help other Dionian merchants, often sponsors them, and also loves to unite them to carry out sea trade... Now, he is already a well-known big merchant in the kingdom, especially in The influence of the merchants in the Turiyi region is huge.

So even if Daves didn't consider his father's sake, he wouldn't be too scornful.

…………………………………

"...Your Majesty, I understand Aionis. He was born as a slave and he is always cautious. How dare he daring to go to the forbidden land of the Carthaginians and secretly purchase silver ore? This is clearly the frame of the Carthaginians. They suddenly killed them without going on trial with our officials. This must be a guilty conscience for the Carthaginians! It's a pity that Ionis and the 50 crew members died in vain, and now they are wronged. The family was crying, and I was expecting them to earn money to return home and raise their parents, wives and children... Your Majesty, you must be the masters for them, clean up their grievances, and let the Carthaginians make compensation!" As soon as Tatus entered the study, he complained to Daves that Ionius and others were wronged.

"Ioannis was once your slave, right?" Daves asked rhetorically without making a statement.

"Yes, Your Majesty. He was originally a farmer on Samos. He was unable to repay him because of a huge debt. He sold himself as a slave and later sold him to my house. Because of his diligence, my father gave him freedom. Two Years ago, he became a citizen of the kingdom and has been responsible for selling our wine from Turri to... to the Celtic region to the west, as well as the Greek city-states on the Iberian Peninsula. Business has been doing very well. . But I didn't expect this time... hey... **** Carthaginian!" Sostatus sighed and wiped a tear with his hand, his eyes full of regret and indignation.
