lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

For the Magonis family, this is an invisible humiliation to them.

If it was a time when the family was in power, who would dare to yell outside the mansion! This group of snobbish Carthaginians! It was them who caused the family's embarrassment today! Hasdruba finally couldn't bear the anger in his heart, turned around and yelled at the slaves outside the hall: "You all take the sticks and go out, and get rid of those yelling guys!"

"Has Druba!" Margo shouted in a low voice, causing the irritable Hasdruba to shut his mouth unwillingly.

Marco glanced at the few immediate family members behind him, and sighed secretly: In the past, although the family looked brilliant, for the benefit of Carthage, for the benefit of Carthage, he fought with Syracuse for many years, and his family members died in battle. Many of them. The cousin Hannibal reported that his ancestors contracted the cold after the defeat of Himera and died of illness after returning to the city. During the war with Syracuse, unfortunately he was shot and killed by the stream...

But the Margonides paid so much, but in exchange, Carthage’s political opponents relentlessly joined forces to suppress it. In the election of the Senate a few days ago, the power of Magonis among the newly appointed senators was greatly reduced, and for the first time, as the new patriarch of Magonis, Margo did not serve as the Sofitel (i.e. senior consul, One election a year, two at a time), this is the first time in a century that the patriarch of the Magonis family has failed to serve as Sofitel. The nobility, the Hanno family, became the big winner of this election. Not only did they firmly control the Senate and the patriarch Hanno served as Sofitel, but the other Sofitel was also his best friend.

The family will face greater difficulties and must prepare early! Margo clenched his fists and once again confirmed the decision he had made before.

"Has Drupa." Marge solemnly said to his nephew: "You are already a 25-year-old man. If you are still so reckless, how dare I revitalize the family in the future? The task of restoring glory is entrusted to you!"

"Uncle, I--" Hasdruba wanted to argue, Marge interrupted him and said simply: "Go to Iberia, at least there, no one will stare at you. Use your political naivety to bring disaster to the family."

"You let me go to Iberia?!" Hasdruba opened his mouth wide, unexpectedly he would be banished like this.

"Not only you are leaving Carthage, I also want to leave Carthage." Marge was about to explain, and his 10-year-old daughter Dido asked urgently: "Dad, where are you going?"

Marco bowed her head slightly, and kindly said to her only daughter who took the same name as the Queen of the founding of Carthage: "I'm just going to Sicily, not far from Carthage, and I can come back anytime."

"Dad, are you going to serve as the resident commander in Sicily to defend against the Greeks?" Dido asked again immediately.

Marge looked at her young daughter, who was already quite beautiful, she couldn't help but sigh for her intelligence, but she is a woman!

He looked at the dissatisfied Hasdruba again, sighed secretly, and continued to explain: "Although we signed a contract with Syracuse, the Senate still harbors Dionysius Be wary, this time I was sent to Sicily. Although I have Hanno’s selfishness, it is exactly what I hope. The peace between Carthage and Syracuse will not last long. Sooner or later, Carthage and Sila. There will be another war in Kuza, and the things that our Magonis family lost in the war must be taken back in the war!" Margo said firmly with a look: "When I arrive in Sicily, I will recruit soldiers, train them strictly, and Effective defensive fortresses have gradually been established in the east of Lili Beer and Erlux, and the buffer zone with the Greeks will be slowly extended eastward, waiting for the time to come..."

Speaking of this, he patted Hasdruba's generous shoulder forcefully: "Do you think I sent you to Iberia to banish you? No! It's because I need your help!"

"Need my help?" Hasdruba felt a little bit of excitement while feeling puzzled.

"The war consumes people, gold and silver. Once we go to war with Syracuse, Hanno will be in power in Carthage. I am afraid it will be a hindrance and I may not get the full support of Carthage. Therefore, we rely more on ourselves, just as Hannibal used his family’s money to summon an army to aid Himera decades ago. Southern Iberia has fertile land much larger than Carthage and Sicily. Abundant silver mines, iron ore and other metal minerals, there are a large number of indigenous people, but since the fall of the Kingdom of Tartasus, there has not been a powerful force there. An excellent opportunity for the Taiji people, but our people and veterans are too comfortable. They would rather do business and farm in Carthage and Numibia than venture into unfamiliar lands thousands of miles away. .

Since there is no one in Carthage to do it, it is up to our Magonis family to do it! Hasdruba, the family has decided to provide you with sufficient manpower and sufficient money at all costs. I hope you can get a firm foothold in Iberia and occupy a stable territory for the family as my future and Sila Kuzha's strongest backing after the war! "

"Don't worry, uncle, I won't let you down!" At this moment, Hasdruba is no longer dissatisfied, gearing up and looking excited.

Marco looked at him, still feeling a little uneasy. He knew his nephew, leading soldiers to fight this is his strong point, but to conquer an unfamiliar land is not just a matter of war, but also administrative, Hassdruba lacks in many aspects such as diplomacy. However, he is the only one of Magonyd's immediate family members who can perform the task, and can only hope to send him a capable assistant who can make up for his shortcomings in this area.

"Uncle, I am willing to accompany my brother to Iberia!" A still naive voice sounded in the hall.

"Hakkar, you can't go!" Hasdruba said flatly to a thin, pale youth.

"Since the development of Iberia has become the most important event that determines the rise and fall of our Magonis family, as a member of the family, how can I enjoy it alone in the city, watching my uncle and you go through the experience outside? It's difficult! What's more—"The youth looked solemnly at the bronze bust of Similko and the **** food in front of the statue in front of the hall: "It is my wish to avenge my father!"

Has Drupa's words choked in his mouth, before he said for a while: "But your body--"

"After this period of exercise, my body has become much better. In Iberia, I will continue to exercise myself. Besides, it is your brother's responsibility to lead soldiers to fight. I just need to stay in the camp..." Haka This is not only an explanation to Hasdruba, but also to Margot.

"Hakkar, are you sure you want to go?" Margot finally asked.

"Yes, uncle. I have made up my mind!"

Although Haka's tone is light, Marge knows that once his little nephew decides something, it will be difficult for others to persuade him to change his mind. However, he has been smart since he was a child, and is different from the maturity of ordinary teenagers. He was considered by Similko to be a genius who will bring greater glory to the Magonid family in the future, but he has always been frail and sickly. If he goes to Iberia to assist Hasdruba, he will definitely be able to obtain greater benefits in Iberia. Margo is convinced of this.

"Since you have made up your mind, then I agree with you to go. But you have to understand that if you can't guarantee your health, it will be difficult for you to help Hasdruba for a long time and help our Magonyd family! "Marco said solemnly.

"I understand." Haka nodded heavily.

"Uncle, but—" The uneasy Hasdruba wanted to say more, Margot said loudly, "Well, let us worship your father together for the last time, hoping that he will bless the family business, everything Good!..."

…………………………

July is the season of scorching sun, and the rugby and football matches in Dionia are being held in full swing.

Daves, who had just returned from the Senate after attending the meeting, received an urgent letter from Laos.

"Go to Dionian Academy and call Hernipolis back!" After reading the letter, he immediately said to the slave with a solemn expression.

"Yes, master."

"My lord, why are you calling me back in such a hurry? I almost got scolded by the old Greek man again." Before Henipolis entered Davers's study, the voice came in first: "Since After the old Athens man came to the Faculty of Arts, we were much busier than before. Not only did we have to recite poetry and prose every day, but we also had to write an essay in two or three days. If we didn’t meet the requirements, we had to rewrite it. My lord, or you Tell Ansitanos that I don’t want to be a rhetorician, but I still want to follow him to study history..."

"Heney, you have no time to study history." Daves handed him a letter with a solemn expression.

Henipolis suddenly had a bad omen. He quickly accepted the letter and opened it. It was like five thunders, and the whole person was stunned: "...this...this is not true... …At the beginning of the year, my father came to Turiyi to see me…He is in good health!…Really very good!…” As he spoke, he shed two lines of tears.

Davers sighed: Avinojis fainted during the banquet and remained unconscious. According to his previous life experience, this is probably "brain congestion". He has long been advised not to overeating, hey! ...

Henipolis suddenly remembered something, and suddenly stepped forward, grabbing Davers's hands tightly, and eagerly begging: "My lord! My lord! You are the favored one of Hades! All Dioni Doctor Ya’s teacher! Save my father! Save him!..."
