v9 Chapter 228： Princess's request

"The Overlord of the Mediterranean in Ancient Greece (

"Okay, that's it, then you will follow me to go to Persia!" At this time, Daves smiled, looked at the former minister of commerce in the crowd, and said, "Marigi, you can go back soon. You should be very happy when you are in your hometown?"

Mariji replied calmly: "Your Majesty, I have lived here for most of my life. I have already been a Dionian. The reason why I want to follow you to Persia is because I am familiar with it. I hope I can give it to you during the battle. Provide some good suggestions."

"You are duplicity." Epithenis ran on the side.

Mariji's words reminded Daves, he immediately asked, "Is Izam among you who are going to Persia?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, he is the most active one to sign up. After all, he can be considered to be able to return to his hometown." Phillips answered with a smile.

Alexis immediately understood the meaning of Daves' words, and then said: "He should be at home now, should he be called right away?"

"Don't worry, there will be time in the future." Daves looked at the crowd and exclaimed: "Our old brothers have not been together for a long time! Today, don't worry about going back, I will send someone to Martonis, Olivers, Alpunes and other former mercenary veterans in Turei all called, and I set a banquet in the palace, let’s have a good chat, okay?!"

"Great!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

………………………………………………………………

In the middle of the night, Davers, who had finished the banquet, returned to the mansion of King's Hill.

When he came to the backyard, he found that the main building lobby was brightly lit by candlelight, which was very strange. When I walked in, there were two princesses Christoya and Agnes sitting in the huge living room. He was drunk and asked, "It's so late, why don't you two... why don't you go to bed?"

"Your Majesty, we are waiting for you." Kristoya said angrily.

"Wait for me? Uh...what's the matter?" Daves burped.

Agnes immediately went to help him sit down, and then brought him a cup of hot honey water that was already prepared, and asked with concern: "We heard that your Majesty will personally lead an army to attack Persia this time. This is true. ?"

Davers held her hand and comforted softly: "Don't worry about it, Persia is now obviously weakened, and we are fully capable of defeating it completely, so that it will no longer be a hidden danger to the kingdom... Uh, let's say this again. It is a war between the two great powers of Dionia and Persia. Almost all of the kingdom’s legions will be dispatched. If I don’t conquer myself, I’m not worried!”

Daves squeezed Agnes’ hand and looked at Kristia, and his tone became more gentle: “Don’t worry, this is the last time I will lead a soldier in battle. After this war is over, I will be fine. Staying by your side will not worry you two anymore!"

"Your Majesty." Kristonia was a little moved, but the expression on her face quickly became serious: "You used to lead soldiers in battle, my sister and I can only wait at home, but this time you are going to Persia, we both It has been discussed and I want to go with you!"

"What?!" When Daverston was half awake, he looked at Kristia and then at Agnes beside him, and asked in disbelief, "Aren't you kidding me?"

"Your Majesty!" Kristia straightened her chest and said with a strong tone: "I have discussed with Agnes for one day today, and now I am making this request very seriously, and I hope you will take it seriously too!"

"Okay." Daves let go of Agnes's hand and sat up straight, coughing slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I don't agree!"

Seeing Kristia raised her face, Daves went on to explain: "The Dionian Military Law was formulated by me. It is precisely because of the strict implementation of it that the army can achieve victories again and again. , With today’s powerful kingdom. Article 91 of the Military Law specifically stipulates, “Generals and soldiers shall not bring their family members to march or fight, nor may they rob women. Violators shall be treated as beheading!” Do you want me to be beheaded?

Even if no one dared to do this, but as the maker of the military law and the commander of the entire army, I violated the military law, so will the soldiers below seriously abide by it? Once this bad start has been opened up, and the military discipline will eventually deteriorate, can the army win the battle? ! ..."

Agnes was a little moved, she looked at Kristia.

Kristia was unmoved: "The military law stipulates that no women in the army can follow the march? So are the nurses in the medical camps of the various corps not women?"

Davers retorted without hesitation: "They are not women, they are soldiers. In the past few decades, soldiers have not regarded them as women. They are already part of various legions."

Kristonia said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the nurses in this medical camp were formed according to your Majesty's advice. I was still the captain of the nurses, and now I can serve again as well—"

"This is definitely not possible!" Daves said firmly in a tone: "You two are now the princesses of the Kingdom of Dionia, the mother of a country in the hearts of the people. They are no longer what they could be compared to decades ago. Go to the medical camp. Going to work here will only disrupt the normal order of the medical camp and affect their work efficiency! More importantly, your safety cannot be guaranteed. In case something happens to you, can I control the battle with peace of mind!"

"Your Majesty." Kristonia suddenly red eyes, and said with a little choking: "I followed you from Persia to Great Greece. I haven't returned to my hometown for decades. I have heard people in Asia Minor businessmen say that since Persia sees the kingdom After being an enemy, I don’t know how to find out that I was born in Miletus. Although my father was punished by the Persians because of Cyrus’s rebellion... he passed away 10 years ago, but this time the Persians did not treat my father. The family hurts the killer...Hundreds of people, even neighbors... either were killed or became slaves..."

Crystal tears flowed from her well-maintained white cheeks, but her voice became a little sharp: "Your Majesty, I swear in the name of Hades, this time I must go to Miletus myself. The Persians who killed my family and all Miletus’ accomplices must be punished! All the surviving tribesmen, I will also try my best to find them so that they can settle down again and live a prosperous life. This is what I owe them!... …"

Daves was silent: In fact, he knew from the information obtained by Aristotle five years ago about the tragic massacre of the Kristia family. In order not to make his wife sad, he concealed it. Kristia has known it for a long time, but she has been silently enduring it... If her father was retaliated by the Persian king for being involved in Cyrus' rebellion, it can also be said that it has nothing to do with Dionia, but the destruction of her family. But it is really the cause of Daves, now that Kristia swears in the name of god, it can be seen that her attitude is resolute.

If Davers still objected, it would undoubtedly cause rifts in the relationship between husband and wife for decades, so he hesitated.

At this time, Aegness said: "Your Majesty, do you think this is okay? My sister and I don't go to Persia with the army to avoid embarrassing you. When the battle goes smoothly, we will follow the heavy fleet..."

"It's still a bit dangerous..." Daves finally compromised when facing the expectant and pleading eyes of the two wives: "Well, I will arrange this matter... But Christia, you are gone, you Who is in charge of the Chamber of Commerce? And Aegness, who will host the Temple of Hera?"

"Eunice is now able to be alone. I'm leaving. Of course she will manage the Chamber of Commerce."

"Cynthia presides over the daily sacrifices to the Temple of Hera for me."

"How about little Chris and them? Are you willing to leave them alone?" Daves made a tentative final effort.

Kristia resolutely said: "I am not their mother, what can I do not bear. UU Reading "

Seeing the two wives' resolute attitude, Daves lowered his head and slowly drank a sip of honey water, and then said: "Let's do it... After the entire western part of Asia Minor is conquered, I will notify the Military Affairs Department and send the army to take you to Miletus , After dealing with Miletus, you two will return, okay?"

"No!" Kristonia immediately objected: "If you conquer Persia this time, Aegness and I will go to Babylon with you!"

Daves was taken aback: "What are you doing in Babylon?"

Agnes stayed silent, but Kristia was quite straightforward: "I heard that the king of Persia has many women. We are afraid that you will marry another one. We have to keep an eye on it!"

Davers suddenly said: "What are you thinking about, how could I do something that violates the military law! Besides, I am at this age, so how can I still have that kind of mind!"

Kristia curled her lips: "Who knows, it is said that the Persian king is all ages and married his own daughter. My sister and I will follow you to avoid your mistakes!"

Daves shook his head helplessly.

Although the Persians in Asia Minor received news that “Dionia declared war on Persia and formed a Greek coalition to attack Persia”, they also noticed that the people of the Greek city-states were preparing to harvest the farmland that was about to harvest. The military mobilization has not started, so it is believed that the offensive of the Greek coalition forces will not come too soon. As a result, the 10th Diorian Army successfully landed on the beaches of the Persian region on the east bank of the Hellespond Strait.

Of course, even if the Governor of Misia Theopempus was prepared, he was unable to prevent the landing of the Dionian army, at best it would only cause some trouble for the Tenth Army.
