Atilly Cruise thought for a long time, then raised his head, staring at Daves, and said: "I promise you that Lijim will hand over the fleet to you Dionia to command, and at the meeting of the South Italian League I fully support Dionia’s proposal. Of course, you have to understand that this is not because you are my son-in-law, but because the severe damage to Syracuse is what the Lijim people have always wanted to do!"
After sending away Atili Cruz, Daves invited an old friend of Dionia, Cypros, now elected chief general of Trina.
When Daves approached Cipros for support, he readily agreed. It is not only because Trina and the Dionian Alliance are now very close, and the close business exchanges with the city of Knapetia and Bruti, which are not far away, but also Trina’s need for its own safety. Cipros said to him like this: "Master Daves, in fact, you don’t use it to get Trina’s support in advance. Your proposal will also easily get the support of the city-states of the Southern Italy League, because Crowe Tone, Silitian, Correnia, and our Trina and Lokri alliance have been enemies of life and death for decades. Over the years, they have become the biggest problem that has plagued our city-states. This time, if they can be solved in one fell swoop. , We are too happy to have time, so how can we oppose it."
Sure enough, as Cipros said, at a temporary emergency meeting of the South Italian League held in the hotel next to the Senate, which was dedicated to receiving other city-state envoys and VIPs, the other city-states agreed: When the war between Dionia and Lokri, the Yuzhno-Italian Alliance will jointly form a large army to fight, and at the same time, they will also be prepared for a war with Syracuse.
At the end of the meeting, it was late at night. The generals of the city-states sent Daves away and were about to return to the hotel. They suddenly heard Lycias shouting: "Look at the sky!"
I saw bright silver lines drawn in the night sky to the southwest, which were unusually dazzling on the dark sky.
General Pretinis of Siritin opened his eyes, took a closer look, and said disapprovingly: "Such night scenes happen many times a year, nothing special."
"But it all happened in July and August. It is rare to see such a situation in September." Lycias said
"It's really rare this season." General Vereniris of Corenia said solemnly.
"This is a good omen!" Cypros exclaimed excitedly: "Perseus is the hero Perseus. He killed the vicious and sinister Medusa. Now we are finally determined to go to the dictatorship. The tyrannical Dionysius declared war to eliminate this tyrant who has threatened the safety of the Greek city-states and the people for more than a decade. Isn’t this exactly what the hero Perseus expected!"
"Siplos is right. As long as our Southern Italian League is united, its strength will surpass Syracuse. We can hit Syracuse like Parsius beheaded Medusa, Restore the independence and freedom of the Greek city-state in Sicily!" Attyli Cruz encouraged.
Some of the other city-state generals were thoughtful, and some kept nodding, as if they would reduce the tension of the possible war with Lokri and later Syracuse...

Daves was already very tired when he returned home, but when he heard the arrival of Aristilas, he was still struggling and met him in the study.
"My lord, the person who booked McGallis' room, we have found out. It is a businessman in Lockley who often visits Turri to buy wine, so the owner and waiter of that hotel are right. He is very familiar. However, it is a pity that he has left Turri nine days ago and returned to Lockley." Aristilas reported.
"The Lockley Merchant...huh, I really didn't wrong it in vain." Daves sneered. In fact, thinking about it, you can understand that Lockley is very suspicious. Because since the Pollyx case, the Tureis and even the entire Dionian people have increased their vigilance against the Syracuse who entered their territory. On the contrary, the attitude towards Syracuse’s ally Lokri is still good.
"Has the investigation into that woman progressed?" Davers asked again.
"The investigation has been made clear. She was a concubine of a former Crimea nobleman who was convicted in the Pollux case not long ago. The concubine of a former nobleman of Crimea who came to Turei with her was also a few in the previous case. The family members of the sentenced person. Master Matonis has sent someone to find them and arrest them."
It's Crimea again! Daves felt that he should write a letter to the chief executive of Crimea Protsilaus, asking him to strengthen the management and rectification of the original inhabitants of Crimea.
At the same time, he was thinking about whether to propose the establishment of a patrol department in the Senate to overall lead and coordinate the patrol teams in various cities, increase the maintenance of urban order, and arrest criminals... that is Said to improve the status of the patrol and make it more professional, instead of always letting the citizen soldiers take turns.
Thinking about this repeatedly in his mind, Daves came to Christia’s bedroom unknowingly, and when he found out, he gesticulated to Asuna in the outer room and prepared to be gentle. ’S exit.
At this time, Kristia’s voice came from the back room: "Is it Daves?"
"Why don't you sleep so late? It's not good for you and the kids in your stomach." Daves complained softly.
"This incident happened today. If you don't come back, how can I sleep!" Kristia's delicate tone showed deep concern: "I want you to accompany me to sleep tonight. "
"Okay! Okay!..." Daves walked into the back room and sat down beside the bed: "Look, don't you see that I am fine."
Asuna hurriedly lit the candle, and was busy boiling hot water, washing Davers's face and feet.
Christonia carefully moved her chubby belly, leaning against Daves, and holding her arms tightly around him: "I heard that you were attacked by... an assassin, it really hurts me and Agnie. Silk was terrified! Thanks to Hades's blessing!"
"Yes, thanks to Martius! He is still lying in the hospital, unconscious!" Daves sighed and said with hatred, "So this time the Senate decided to fight Lockley. Take revenge with Syracuse!"
"That means...the war is about to break out again, and it's with Syracuse..." Christia trembles when she hears this, and says with some worry, Daves will be held in her arms. Hold your arms tighter.
Davers gently stroked her back and comforted her: "Don't you know me! When did I lose in the war?... But this way, when you give birth, I I'm afraid I can't be by your side again."
The loss on Christia’s face disappeared in a flash, but she comforted Daves softly: "You don’t have to worry about me, you have Azuna, Agnace’s care, and yours. A student (referring to Helps and the others) comes to visit regularly, and I will give birth smoothly, just like the last time. But you have to protect yourself, in case you... You let me, Agnes , Klo, Cynthia, Adoris, and the child in the belly, what about all the people who love you and rely on you?!" At this point, her voice was a little choked.
Daves can only hug her and comfort her softly, "Don’t worry, I have the blessing of Hades, there will be no danger! And this time the Senate has increased it for my safety. With a hundred guards, the security will be even stricter. Only this way, our family will not be able to easily go to the Turyi Market in the future. Do you remember the last time we..."
Christoia's snoring sounded softly. I don’t know when she was asleep. Davers laid her on her back, covered her with the quilt lightly, and stared at her slightly frowning pretty face, deep in my heart. A suppressed thought is rapidly expanding at this moment...
……………………………
The next day was the day when the Dionian Rugby Finals began. Turri did not stop the event because of yesterday's events. It was still held on time as usual, and the people filled the arena early.
When the hustle and bustle began to fill this huge arena, the people saw that they were worried about the consul appearing in the VIP seats all night, and beckoning to the surrounding with a smile, all rumors were not self-defeating break.
The people cheered loudly, and the whole arena began to boil.
……………………………
While the Dionian people in Turri were cheering for the opening of the rugby final, the messenger from the Senate, Flock Leon, had already taken a boat to Lockley.
At this time, Flaukel Leon is already the Intermediate Judge of Dioria. He has just stepped down from his post in Amendorara and is waiting for a new appointment in Turri. The Senate appointed him as an envoy to Lokri, because he was not weaker than Aristocrates' eloquence and speculation. At the same time, he was more sleek and sophisticated than Aristocrates. After all, he The time in the public office of Dionia can be longer than that of Docrates.
Fraukleon took it easy, not that he didn't know the danger of this trip, but it was also a great opportunity to show himself and attract the attention of the veterans, especially the Archon Daves. Intermediate judges are already the highest position that citizens of the Union who are not veterans of the Senate can hold in the public office of Union Judges. Senior judges can only be held by senators of the Senate, while higher-level justices are consuls. Daves serves concurrently. Next, he will either continue to serve as a mid-level judge in other cities, or transfer to other positions, and it is only five years later that he may enter the ranks of the elected senator. He must use his outstanding performance to increase his possibility of becoming a senator in the Senate.
Lorri is located in the southernmost part of Italy near the "toe", next to Lijim. It neither occupies the fertile and flat plains like Subaris and Crotone, nor does it have an excellent geographical location like Lijim, but it uses its relatively advantageous position close to the main trade channel of the Strait of Messina, The two colonial cities of Mdema and Hippion were established on the west coast of the Italian Toe, which happened to be on the trade route leading to the most prosperous trade center in the Tyrrhenian Sea region-Central Italy. . Lokri opened up an ancient road connecting the east and west coasts. After decades of concentrated management, he finally made himself a famous sea trade city in the Western Mediterranean, and thus became a strong state in Great Greece.
