Chapter 6 Pregnancy
Thirdly, Crotone does not interfere with Castron's becoming an alliance of the Tua Union, but Crimea must remain neutral. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info (After all, Crimea is very close to Crotone, and joining the Tua Alliance is like a sharp knife against Crotone's abdomen, of course Lucias could not agree, and Marigi did not insist, because the Tua Union did not have enough strength to help Crimea defend against the enemy's attack, but Davos still decided to release the prisoners of Crimea half a year later in accordance with the ransom conditions signed with Crotone, and the Crimesa envoy thanked him a thousand times and promised: "No more enemies of the Tua Alliance!") βοΌ
Fourthly, the Tua alliance must not form an alliance with Lokri and must not enter into any agreement against Crotone. (This was Lucias's insistence, and Marigi was in a dilemma, but Davers told him privately: "There are no plans to form an alliance with Lockrie at the moment, so as not to anger Crotone and cause the negotiations to be aborted.") Marigi used this as a bargaining chip to force Lucias to make concessions on other fronts. οΌ
Fifthly, Crotone and the Tua Union are to remain at peace for a period of three years from the date of the signing of the agreement, after which the agreement will be renewed as appropriate.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The Crotone envoys returned to their home state with the tentative agreement, and after being confirmed by the council, they re-entered the city of Turiyi.
The attentive Lucias noticed that there were no signs of smoke and fire on the walls of Turiyi, and that the collapsed places had been repaired with freshly laid stone bricks and mortar, and that they looked like new from a distance. He was struck by the efficiency and enthusiasm of the Turiyi, and in fact he did not want to have any more conflicts with the Tuuanian alliance, but before leaving, Milon repeatedly reminded him that even if an armistice was to be signed, it would not take more than two years.
Lycias understands that most of the generals and council members led by Milon in Crotone are not willing to accept this defeat, and they are ready to take revenge in the future! Crotone is known for his athleticism in Greece, and the character of the people is branded with an unyielding athlete, which is somewhat similar to the Amendolara of the Tua League, which he has been in contact with for more than two days.
Lycias sighed softly, and led the group into Turiy's camp again.
Except for the change in the term of "two years", there were no major changes to the rest of the armistice. Both sides sacrificed their animals to Apollo, chanted the names of their gods, took a sacred oath that "Crotone or the Tua-AfgΓ© alliance would never violate the armistice", and finally signed their respective city-states and their own names. (Why sacrifice to Apollo?) Because Crotone and the former Turiyi both worshipped Apollo as the patron saint of the city-state, this made it easier for both parties to abide by the agreement. οΌ
The agreement was reached, Lucias was in a hurry to return, and Davers and they would not stay, before sending Lucias on the ship, Davers said sincerely: "I hope that Crotone and the Tua alliance will never fight again!" β
Davers's piercing gaze made Lucias feel that Milon had already seen through the young archon's tricks, and he immediately said, "Apollo is on top, and this is my true hope!" β
Standing at the bow of the ship, looking at the still noisy construction site of the city of Turii, and looking at the shuttle merchant ships coming and going at the mouth of the sea, Lucias left Turriyi with a full stomach......
Davers and his party watched from the docks as Crotone's ships drifted away.
Cornerus sighed, "Now we're safe!" β
"Yes, safe for now! I'm afraid that in two years, Crotone will attack us! Kunograta said calmly.
"That's right, otherwise they wouldn't have specifically asked for a shorter armistice. Therefore, we must make full use of these two years to make the Tuafan alliance strong as soon as possible, so that any forces that covet us will not dare to attack! "Davers encourages everyone.
"That's right!" The hearts of the people were stirred up.
"Your Excellency, look at the money for these reparations in this armisticeβ" Marigi immediately wanted to ask.
Davers interrupted him and said, "All these indemnities are to be paid to the treasury and are kept by Merses. β
Mel Siston smiled.
"Its use is planned, managed and spent by the Reconstruction Committee, and like the previous seizures, it will be used for people's daily expenses, urban renewal and public works. Any department that needs to spend money must apply to the committee, and after approval, it can be approved before it can be granted, and the treasurer has the responsibility of oversight! β
After Davers finished speaking, Mersis winked at Marigi, who turned away in anger and did not want to see him.
"In addition, on the first day of each month, Mersis must make a detailed report on the receipts and expenditures of the treasury at a meeting of the Senate, and if anything goes wrong, you will be fully responsible!" Davers said sternly
"Yes." Merses replied weakly.
"Alexis, you go and tell the captives about the agreement, the Crotone people don't let the captives mine, and we'll let them build the road. Build a highway connecting Heraclia, Amendolara, Turiyi, and CastelΓ³n, so that Heraclyde's son, the ......"
"Little Heraclyde."
"Yes, that's him. Let him be the commander of the entire road project, according to the previous drawings, with a group of craftsmen to be responsible for supervision and management. β
"Yes, Lord Archon." Superintendent Alexis responded.
"I can understand that the road was being built to connect Heraclia, Amendolara and Turiyi. Why connect to Castelon? Since in two years, Crotone may launch an attack, and Castro is impossible to stop, wouldn't it be easier for the enemy to advance by building a road? Ansitanos asked suspiciously, and the other Turriyi elders all looked interested.
Davers explained seriously: "The road to Castelon will be built to make our personnel and trade with Casteron more frequent, and the connection will be closer, and Castelon will be inseparable from us." And with the road, our troops and baggage can reach Castelon faster. Castellon is also our ally now, and it is our responsibility to keep it safe, and in the future Castellon will be our front line against the enemy to the south. Of course, building roads will make it easier for the enemy to attack us, so we will do our best to keep the enemy out of our territory so that they can't use our path. β
Ansitanos and Kunogorata were thoughtful, while others were both impulsed and skeptical......
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After a busy day, he returned to his tent late at night, and Davers found another person waiting for him in the tent.
"Andrea, why are you here? Did something happen to Christoya?! Davers asked hurriedly.
Andrea bowed respectfully, "Your Excellency Archon, Madame doesn't want to disturb your work because she sees that you are busy rebuilding the city of Turiyi during this time, but I think I should tell you about it." β
"What's the matter?!" Davers asked eagerly.
"The other day, Madame was vomiting and couldn't eat, so I wondered if I was pregnant, so I asked Master Herps to check it up, and sure enough." As soon as Andrea's words fell, Davers looked surprised, and asked again: "Christia, is she really pregnant?!" β
It's true, sir. β
"Great! That's great! ......" Davers hugged Andrea excitedly and spun around several times, completely ignoring Andrea's shyness.
He shouted outside, "Maltius! Maltius! β
"My lord, what's the matter?" Maltius walked in.
"Go and lead the horse, I'm going back to Amendolara!" Davers said eagerly.
"My lord, it's too late, it's not safe on the road, let's go back tomorrow." Maltius persuaded.
"I can't wait! Christoya is pregnant! I'm going to be a father.1 I'm going to go back to see her at once! Immediately!! Davers said in a firm and excited tone.
"Congratulations, sir! This is Hera's gift! In that case, let's escort you back. Maltius said happily.
"Good!"
The group rode out of the camp, and the sound of horses' hooves woke up many people in the camp: "Who is still riding in the camp so late, this is against the rules!" β
"I heard that the consul's wife is pregnant, and he's rushing home!"
"Really?! What a joy it was!! β
Late at night, bursts of cheers rang out from the otherwise quiet camp.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Davers hurried home, and staggered upstairs, when he saw a small head sticking out of the door and peeking out vigilantly.
"Cynthia!" He picked up his little daughter and kissed him heavily: "It's so late, why don't you sleep yet, you want to be spanked!" β
"You've woken me up." Cynthia wiped the saliva from her face with her little hands and grumbled.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I apologize to you." Davers grinned and touched her head and said, "Where's my brother?" β
"Sleep in it."
"Where's Mom?"
Cynthia hesitated and gestured to the master bedroom.
Davers put her down and patted her buttocks gently, "Go to bed." With that, he strode towards the master bedroom.
Christoya was reading the ledger under the oil lamp, when she heard footsteps, turned her head to look, and was surprised: "Why are you back?" β
"If I don't come back, you're going to keep it a secret from me, right?!" Davers pretended to be angry, sat down next to Christoya, put one hand around her, and patted her plump buttocks twice with the other: "How dare you not tell me that we have a child, do you say you should be punished!" β
"You know it all." Christoya put her arms around Davers' neck: "Andrea told you that?" β
"I'm glad she told me in time!" Davers pointed to the thick ledger on the table and reproached, "You don't care too much for your own body, and our children!" In the future, these things will be left to Andrea and others to do, and you will take care of your body at home, so that our children can grow up healthily here! β
