"Sister!" In front of so many juniors, Agnes's face couldn't hold back.

Christoya knew too much about Agnes’ temperament, and she immediately changed the subject: "Okay, let's go to the zoo—"

"Mother, I won't go." Cynthia interrupted.

"Let’s make an appointment to go to the zoo this time, just for you, how can you not—" Kristia was a little unhappy, but seeing Cynthia’s melancholy expression, she slowed down and persuaded her Said: "Your father and the king told me that although the Gauls are coming fiercely, your husband is commanding a huge army of more than 50,000. And he gave the order to make the nearby Twelfth Army rush to Rome, Under your husband’s command... I heard that although the Gauls are fierce, they are poorly equipped, and they will definitely be defeated in the face of the elite troops under your husband’s command. Don’t worry!"

"Mother, I understand all this, but I am still a little worried, so I am not in the mood to play at this critical time..." Cynthia hesitated.

Christoia asked in surprise: "Your husband went abroad to fight before, and you never saw you worry so much?"

"Mother, Patroclus used to be an officer in the army. He was injured in the battle or... it was our family's business. Now he is the commander of the coalition forces in the northern part of Dionia, and he is concerned with thousands of people. The safety of tens of thousands of families and the northern part of the kingdom...So, how can I not worry about it!" Cynthia said, and sighed again.

After listening to Christoya, she seemed to think of something, she also sighed, and said solemnly: "In the past, your father led an army to go out to war, which time is not related to the life and death of the kingdom, I and you love Ge Don’t you worry about Mother Niss! But how did we do it? Try to take care of everything in the family, try not to think about this annoying thing, and make sure that you are healthy... If your father on the frontline learns about me and Aigo Niss is ill, can he go to fight with all his heart!..."

"Don't worry about your husband, don't think about the war, find something to do to relax yourself... Eventually, your husband will be blessed by Hades!" Agnes also persuaded .

Obviously, Cynthia heard the words of the two mothers, and her worried expression faded a lot. She was about to agree to go to the zoo. Suddenly the wooden door of the inner courtyard was pushed open. Salute, and said: "The two princesses, Princess Cynthia, great victory! Lord Patroclus led the army to defeat the Gaul who invaded Etruscan!"

When Cynthia heard it, her expression of joy was instantly overwhelming, and tears flashed in her eyes because of her excitement.

"Dad won a big battle! Dad won a big battle!" Palpilas cheered even more.

"I said Hades would bless." Agnes looked calm.

"What exactly is the situation?" Kristia smiled and asked her daughter again.

Ribazo immediately responded respectfully: "I heard that our coalition army Lien Chan Lien Victory has completely defeated the Gauls who invaded Etruscans... After receiving the battle report, Your Majesty is very happy. The five rotating chairmen and several ministers of the military department were summoned to the palace for discussion."

Speaking, he looked at Cynthia again: "Your Majesty knows that Princess Cynthia is at the mansion, so I specifically asked me to come back to inform you so that you don't worry about it."

"Look, how much your father cares about you!" Kristia gave Cynthia angrily.

"Thank you, Lord Ribazo!" Cynthia wiped away the tears from her eyes, and bowed to Ribazo sincerely.

Ribazo hurriedly stepped away and said repeatedly: "Princess, this is what I should do. It is not worthy of thanks."

"Well, can I go to the zoo now? It's all because of you. We have been delayed for so long. Eunice and Ivia may be waiting in a hurry." Kristia pretended to be dissatisfied. Complained.

"Mother, it's my fault, let's set off now!" Cynthia smiled sweetly, then knelt down, stretched out her hand, and said softly: "Chris, let Auntie come and lead you, let's run fast Some, get to the zoo early and go see the elephants, okay?"

"I also want to see the lion."

"No problem!"

"There are hippos."

"Yes!"

……

Cynthia walked out of the backyard with Chris who was bouncing around and burst into laughter.

Christoya looked at Aegness with a happy mood: "This morning, Apox went to the school, and Antebris went to practice football. There are all women in the house. Let’s be in the zoo. Have a good day!"

Palpilas gently tugged at Kristonia's hand, and said solemnly: "Grandma, I and Chris are male."

"Oh, yes, you two little warriors will be added." Kristia nodded his forehead with a finger, smiling happily.

………………………………………

Last year, after Daves’ proposal, Christoya immediately started to act. After repeated discussions and surveys, she selected the hilly land near the Klaty River to the south of the Turiyi Stone Mine to build a zoo. In this way, the required stones, a large amount of water, and transportation are more convenient.

Up to now, the zoo is still under construction and has not been opened to the outside world, but there are already elephants, lions, hippos, crocodiles... and many other animals, all of which are allies (such as Egypt and Mauritania). King Sri Lanka sent it specially for this demand.

When Kristia and her party were in a carriage to the zoo under the **** of the court guard, Daves was discussing with the ministers in the palace.

"Your Majesty, it turns out that your decision is correct. Patroclus is indeed an excellent military commander! I originally thought that although the number of soldiers in the army he led was large, most of them were recruits, and the sources were very diverse. We are faced with the Gauls who are feared by the various ethnic groups in central Italy. Therefore, we have analyzed before that, with the strength of the coalition forces in the northern part of Dionian, if we adopt a defensive posture, it is not a big problem to defend the Rome area, but we have to think about it. It is more difficult to repel the Gauls who are raging in Etruscans. And we also think..."

Military Secretary Alexis hesitated for a moment, and then said frankly: “It’s not long before the 14th Army Commander Patroclus took office. He had no experience in commanding multi-corps operations before, and he is still relatively young, I’m afraid he can’t Let the allied generals fully obey. Therefore, he previously suggested that his Majesty send a more experienced veteran to replace him as the commander of the Northern Allied Forces. Command the Allied Army’s right to defend against the enemy), without your Majesty’s persistence, I am afraid this victory will not come so soon!..."

Davers listened calmly. In fact, the reason why he insisted that Patroclus continue to command the coalition was not because he had absolute confidence in his son-in-law, but because he appointed Patroclus. Serving as the commander of the 14th Army and Sextus as the commander of the 18th Army was the beginning of his planned injection of fresh blood into the army and the gradual replacement of the older generation of generals. Naturally, he was under considerable pressure. After just over a year, he sent a veteran general to take over command. This would not only dampen the confidence of the young general, but also disrupt his original plan, so he supported Patroclus to protect his face.

Of course, Daves at this time is no longer affected by the history of his previous life like before the Western Mediterranean War. After defeating Rome and Carthage, and the rapid development of the kingdom in recent years, he is deeply aware of The strength of the Kingdom of Dionian has far surpassed Rome and Carthage in this period in the history of the previous life. It is even more powerful than the entire Mediterranean in terms of military construction, weaponry and equipment research, strategy and tactics... Therefore, the Gauls who once caused great trouble to Rome were just a small disease for Dionia at this time. Even if the northern coalition forces occasionally suffered a small setback, it would not have much impact on the kingdom. , On the contrary, these allies will be more united around the Kingdom of Dionia because they are afraid of the Gauls.

It’s just that he never thought that Patroclus’ performance far exceeded his expectations, and that he defeated the main force of the Gauls in less than a month. This made him very satisfied. At this moment, I had to do my best to suppress my self-satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, from the battle report, although the Patroclus regiment commander is young, he is very calm and sophisticated in his soldiers. He marched quickly to the vicinity of Walsena, but instead of relying on more soldiers, he immediately led the attack and built a camp instead. He lured the enemy to attack, and through a small victory in the defensive battle, he won the trust of the allied generals and boosted the morale of the soldiers. Then he deliberately retreated and retreated to the south of the Tiber River, making the Gauls think of Dionia The army was already timid, so he dared to attack Volsena with confidence and boldness. As a result, he took advantage of the days when the Gauls were fighting and tired and sleepy, and once again led the army to quickly return and raided the Gaul camp..."

Plintors, the new chief of staff, made a serious analysis: "Although, this brilliant victory was also arrogant and arrogant with the Gauls themselves. After encountering my powerful coalition forces, instead of fighting carefully, they only knew Blindly attacking, marching camps are not related to the rules, but in turn, it can be seen that the Patroclus legionary not only understands his soldiers, understands the situation of the Allies, but also understands the situation of the Gauls and every decision he makes. In order to be so in line with the battle conditions at the time and to make the victory so easy, it can be said to have won the essence of the "Military Law". Congratulations! Your majesty! The kingdom has another excellent military commander, and he is still so young!"
