"Then inform the chief executives of these two towns to arrange for the prestigious citizens of the Kingdom of Messenia to come to Turriy as soon as possible and come to the palace to discuss how to rebuild Messenia. Lucy Master As, you are responsible for arranging this matter."
Although Lysias opposed Dionia's involvement in the war in Greece, he did not dare to violate Daves' orders and reluctantly replied: "Yes."
Daves looked at him, then cast his gaze on another person who has remained silent to this day: "Prossous, you, the victorious general of the kingdom, is also from Argos. You should I am more familiar with Sparta, what advice do you have for the next military action that the kingdom will take?"
Leotichides was a little surprised, and then his expression became indifferent, and he said, "Your Majesty, I have no opinion."
In Daves’s impression, although Plossous was reluctant to talk, he would talk more and more when he talked about the military, and he was quite insightful, but today it is a bit abnormal.
Daves looked at him again and said: "After the meeting is over, you have to discuss with the Ministry of Military Affairs, because this time you send troops to Greece, you will be the commander of the army."
Alexis and other generals were not surprised when they heard this appointment: because since His Majesty Daves designated the first army in the army to go to Greece, then Plesous, the commander of the first army, Definitely the best candidate for the commander. In today’s Dionian army, only Alexis can beat Plosous in terms of record, qualifications, and multi-legal commanding capabilities. It’s just that he is the Minister of Military Affairs. , It is generally impossible to go to the battlefield in person.
As for Amintas, not to mention that he is now retired, and the Turian people have complained against him a lot in the past few years because the First Army led by him suffered too many casualties in the Western Mediterranean War.
As for the rising stars in the military, such as Patroclus, Sextus, etc., they have their own important responsibilities, and the First Army is on the march, it is impossible to let them serve as commanders.
The ministers present felt that this appointment was taken for granted, but Leotichides hesitated for a while before repliing: "...Yes."
Davers glanced at him again, then stood up, his deep gaze slowly sweeping across everyone's face, and said solemnly: "Everyone, since we have made it clear that we are going to Greece, regardless of whether we have any objections. , And no matter how the future battle situation in Greece will develop, you must concentrate your efforts, work together, and carefully prepare for the next significant expedition!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!!"

After the ministers were all gone, Daves called in Aristotles, the Minister of Intelligence. After the divestiture, he established the Kingdom Intelligence Department not long afterwards, and made the intelligence organization of Aristiras that had been quietly serving him completely and publicly transferred to the clear. Did not enter the advanced level, this can be regarded as a small compromise between Daves and other ministers).
"Did something happen to Proseus recently?" Daves asked seemingly casually.
Aris Tiras thought for a while, and replied: "Master Proseus is the same as before, with a regular and monotonous life, nothing unusual... His home is also very peaceful."
"Hmm..." Daves tapped the table with his fingers. Recalling the meeting just now, Proseus was obviously a little lost. It was the first time he saw this from this victorious general. Situation: "Send a few more people to watch me more carefully in the next period of time. It is best to know his diet, sleep, etc..."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements now." Aristilas responded immediately.
"We are going to go to Greece soon, but we can't make any mistakes..." Daves murmured in a deep voice, then looked up at Aristilas: "Has the situation of the Frontier Legion paid off recently?"
"Yes." Aris Tiras had already prepared, and immediately took out two papyrus scrolls from his arms, one of which was obviously much thicker.
Daves first took the thick papyrus scroll, and did not open it immediately, but asked: "This one is from the Po region (after the conquest of Yamauchi Gaul, the Kingdom of Dionian The middle reaches of the Po River was established here)?
"Yes."
Davers opened it with interest, and it was still the same style. Not only did it record the daily words and deeds of the legion commander Hasdruba and the main officers of the Border Corps, the movement and attack of the legion. It also recorded the consumption and changes of grains in more detail, and even described the customs of the Liguria region that the Corps passed through... In addition, there are also some notes on the defense and counterattack of Ligurian tribes by the corps. Opinions, and some suggestions on how to better deal with Ligurians and further assimilate them.
From the standpoint of surveillance and providing intelligence, the recorder is obviously unqualified, but the intelligence he submitted is of great reference value to Daves, so Daves stopped Ali from the beginning. Stilaus wanted to order him to change his practice.
"I remember that this information provider was called Maximus. He was a Roman. He used to serve as a city official in the former Rome..." Daves carefully rolled up the papyrus: "He became Dai last year. I’m an official citizen of Onia? What position do you hold in the Po River Frontier Corps now?"
"Your Majesty, it was your special approval last year that he became an official citizen. He is now an important officer of the Border Army, and he has won the trust of Hasdruba."
"Heavy officer... his position in the legion is not low anymore." Daves looked down at the Shakespeare scroll, and said with a deep voice, "This kind of person is just an ordinary person in the intelligence department, a little talented. Oh! I think I will find someone to replace him after the Ligurian riots are calmed down. I have another use for him."
"Your Majesty." Aristilas hurriedly bowed and said: "The new intelligence department has a shortage of people who have profound knowledge and can coordinate the organization like Maximus!"
"Since this is the case..." Davers pondered for a while, and said: "Then transfer him back as soon as possible to help you reorganize, plan and manage the Intelligence Department. After all, the Intelligence Department is now a kingdom. The formal administrative department must have a formal appearance. I don't want the Supervision Department to sue you twice!"
"...Understood, Your Majesty." Aristilas bowed and saluted again, feeling a cold sweat on his back.
After Aris Tiras went out, Henipolis walked into the chamber and saw Daves with his back on his back, staring at the map of the Mediterranean on the wall.
He said softly: "Your Majesty, I am here."
Davos didn't look back, and slowly said, "Heny, how many years has Croto left Turriy?"
Henipolis' heart moved, and he immediately said: "I remember being in the kingdom for fourteen years. Your Majesty, you led your army northward to attack Rome, and His Highness Croto followed, and he has stayed in Rome ever since. It’s been 13 years now, and it’s been a long time since I left Tuliyi!"
"Yes, it's been a long time!" Daves sighed, turned around, and said meaningfully: "Although he has done quite well in Rome, and he has been the chief executive of Rome for almost 3 years. , But it’s been too long after leaving Turey, but it’s easy to be forgotten!"
Henipolis' eyelids twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but remember what Ancitanos had said here before, and immediately stood in awe, silent.
"Pick up the pen." Daves said.
"Yes." Hernipolis immediately sat down at the wooden table and quickly picked up the pen and paper.
"The ministers were given instructions to say that Croto Kataks has been far away from Turri for many years. Princess Christia missed her illness, so she was allowed to step down in advance and return to Turri to serve. Mother, the successor of the chief executive of Rome is up to them to discuss and decide..." Daves had just finished dictating, and Hernipolis had already written it, and was about to pass the instructions to Daves.
Daves said again: "I will give them another order to say that Ancitanos wants to step down as Minister of Foreign Affairs. I have approved it. The successor is Tapirus. I hope they will complete the handover as soon as possible. Avoid affecting the subsequent military operations against Sparta."
Henipolis trembles with his pen hand, and after a while, he softly responds: "...Your Majesty, it's done."

It was already dusk when Leotichides came out of the military department and set foot on the way home.
In the beginning, Leotichides’s home was in the port area of Turíy; later he became a Legionnaire and became a share of Dionian citizens, and afterwards, most of the land he was given to was repeatedly due to battle exploits. It was concentrated in Crimea, so there was also a house there, but he rarely lived there because he was already the commander of the Eighth Army Corps at that time and stayed in the Catania barracks all the year round; later, he entered In addition to the Senate and its brilliant record, the kingdom gave him a piece of residential land not far from the Hera Temple in the outer city of Turi Yidong, and their family has lived there ever since.
The veterans living in the inner city, because they are very close to the Grand Chamber and Victory Square, mostly walk home; the elders living in the outer city, because of the long distance, and in order to avoid the interruption of pedestrians on the road, most of them are When returning home in a sedan chair, only a few people chose to ride horses, and the horses were reported to and approved by the city guard. Leotichides was one of them, and he also had 4 horseback followers around him. To protect his safety.
