"Where is he now?" Davers asked with interest.

"The year before last, he had retired and returned to Amendolara, but he was an idle man, and he applied to the Ministry of Military Affairs to serve as a military training officer in Amendolara......"

"Zantiparis is in his 60s and can still lead the army to kill the enemy and make contributions to the king's country, and Ketisus is younger than him, I think his performance should be just as good, but it's just ......" Davers asked with some uncertainty: "He has refused to be the commander of the legion many times, will he agree this time?" ”

"Your Majesty, this time is different from the previous ones, in the case of a possible battle at any time, the First Legion has no Legion Commander, this is actually a big crisis for the First Legion, and Quetsus, as a veteran of the First Legion, will never stand idly by, not to mention that this is a temporary succession, I believe he should not refuse!" Alexis said firmly.

"Okay, that's him!" Davers simply agreed, and then asked, "What about Prosious?" ”

Alexis said with some hesitation: "What does Your Majesty think of Matonis?" ”

"He was a fierce general, and he had no problem charging into battle, but he lacked the experience of commanding multiple corps in battle, and the political environment in Greece was complicated......"

Davers said it tactfully, but Alexis understood, and he continued, "How is Oliver?" ”

"Oliver was quick-witted, but he also lacked the experience of commanding multiple corps, and he was sometimes not decisive at critical times, and now the army was facing the Spartans......" Davers said with the same tact.

"And what about Lizaru?"

"You forgot that I specifically said last time that I tried not to send non-Greek citizens into battle, let alone the commander of the First Army."

"Your Majesty, I was negligent! So...... How about Shiros? ”

"How could Shiros suddenly leave the heavy responsibility of the governor of the Turiyi region and go to the Peloponnese to lead the army, not to mention that he has been away from the front line for many years, and he is probably a little rusty about commanding operations...... Not only him, but also Kapus. Davers was a little dissatisfied with the candidates he proposed, and couldn't help but say, "What do you think of Patroclus?" ”

Alexis had already prepared, and he immediately responded: "Patroclus is indeed a more suitable candidate, but he is now in the Po region, and he has to fight the Agurians at any time, and he must ensure the stability of the Po region, so it is really not appropriate to transfer him at this time...... The same is true of Sextus in the Iberian region, and Calcides, although also capable, lacks the experience to command multiple legions......"

Davers looked at him, and his tone of voice became a little heavier: "With so many generals in the kingdom, can't you find a suitable candidate?!" ”

"Your Majesty, any of the above-mentioned generals can be the commander of an army, just because this is the first time we have gone to Greece, in order to better show the strength of our kingdom to our mother state, we have higher requirements." Alexis also persuaded in a tactful tone, he paused, and then said with a happy face: "Your Majesty, I have thought of a suitable candidate, who should meet your requirements!" ”

"Oh, you say."

"Printors." Alexis said in a firm tone: "Although he is now the chief of staff, he once served as the commander of the 14th Army Corps, and he also commanded many legions during the Western Mediterranean War, and performed well. ”

"But he's now the chief of staff, and he's a heavy military officer—"

"It can be temporarily replaced by Tolmid or Felicius."

"Hmm......" Davers said with a deep groan, stroking his chin, "and I will make a decision after I have personally consulted with Printors and listened to his wishes." ”

After watching Alexis walk out of the conference hall, Davers whispered with some emotion: "Many old people in the military department are reluctant to give young people more opportunities, and it seems that even Alexis is no exception." ”

Only then did Hennepolis speak: "Your Majesty, I see that Lord Alexis and Lord Printors have a very close relationship. ”

Hearing this, Davers was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "They have been comrades-in-arms for many years. ”

"Your Majesty." Henipolis looked at Davers and said softly, "I also have a suitable candidate to recommend to you." ”

"Oh? Do you have a candidate too? Davers became interested and smiled, "Let's talk about it." ”

"I think Prince Klotocatax is fit to be the commander of the expeditionary army."

Henipolis said that the choice of the candidate was much more than Davers expected, he looked at Henipolis, but thought to himself: his son has not been back to Turiyi for a long time, and he has not had any contact with Henipolis, is this just Henipolis's own thoughts?

Davers asked tentatively: "Klotto rarely goes into battle to kill the enemy, and he has no experience in commanding troops, how can he be the commander-in-chief?!" It's a life-and-death war, not a game! ”

"His Highness Klotto has no experience and can ask Printos to assist him. Your Majesty, didn't you say before that when you return from Rome, Your Highness Clotto is to make him take on a greater responsibility! His Royal Highness Klotto is your heir, the future king of Dionia, although he can't win all battles on the battlefield like you, but at least he must have a certain influence on the army, otherwise in the face of military generals like Alexis and Amintas who have decided the life and death of tens of millions of people in the future, can he calmly refute their suggestions and put forward his own opinions? Henypolis said earnestly.

Davers stared at him for a long time, and sighed softly, "You are the only one in the whole kingdom who thinks about me like this!" ”

………………………………………………

At dusk, Davers returned to his mansion on the hill.

Dinner was the busiest time for the royal family of Davos, with a large round table filled with people: King Davos and his two princesses, Mr. and Mrs. Klotocátus and their two children, Mr. and Mrs. Apox and one child, Mr. and Mrs. Eunice (in the last year, Eunice married the famous sculptor of Tarantum, Alex), Briantes, Avia, and Cynthia and her two children, and Adoris's wife Adoi and a child.

Since the children grew up a few years ago and began to have their own families and businesses, the Davers couple were getting old and longing for the family to be lively and prosperous, but the mansion was often deserted, so Davos hired the best engineers in the kingdom to design according to the topography of the entire hill, and then Christoya paid a lot of money and hired a large team of builders to build multiple mansions on the hill according to the drawings.

The Hill of Kings is gentle, and the top of the hill and the mountainside are suitable for building a large number of houses, but because of Davers's noble status, there is only one mansion in the entire hill. Because of the sufficient funds, only half a year later, there were a few more mansions on the hill.

Davers then forced an order from Apox and Antebris, asking them to move to a new mansion, which was later followed by Eunice after her marriage, and Antebris, although he resisted, eventually had to give in.

Davers also asked to try to eat together as a family in the evening. Occasionally, Christoya would call Cynthia and Adoris' family over for dinner, and since the Crotocatacasses family had just returned, Cynthia and Adoris' wife often came to party these days.

“…… The game is almost over, we are still one point behind, but we have one last attack, and we are only three meters from the end line, three meters is not that far, right? Antebriss asked the children gathered around him.

"Yes!!" Several older children scrambled to answer, and the younger children shouted along.

"But-" Antebris said with a serious expression as he stroked his pen with both hands, "The opposing players are lined up in a dense human wall, blocking in front of us, and there is no space to pass through at all, what should we do?!" After the referee blew the whistle and the game began, our quarterback made a pass to the left winger, diverted the opponent's attention, and quickly handed the football to the player next to him, and the player who took the ball was me! ”

The children made a sound of surprise.

"Time was running out, I held the ball, lowered my head, and arched forward with the help of my teammates, the opposing players desperately blocked, and even several people pressed on me, I used all my strength, carried them, and only cared about arching forward...... I had feet in front of me, and I couldn't see where the end line was, so I felt that it was a long time...... Suddenly a whistle was heard, and we had a touchdown! The game is over, our Tourii rugby team has won the Kingdom Football Finals, and I, your uncle, have been the best players in the finals! ”

"Wow! Uncle is so amazing!! ......" In the adoring eyes of the children, Antebriss looked smug.

"Isn't it just that there was such a great performance in the final last year, look at you, you are bragging every day!" Eunice couldn't help but say: "I've always felt that the reason why you were able to succeed in the end was because your identity made the players in Oudière afraid to hurt you-"

"You're blaspheming the sacred rugby final!" Antbriston's face flushed with anger and he stood up suddenly: "Eunice, you're talking nonsense—"

"Alright!" Christoya slapped the table hard and shouted, "You two give me some peace!" When they are so old, they quarrel as soon as they meet, and they don't set a good example for the children! ”

"She was the one who said first—"

"You still say!" Christoya yelled again.

Antebriss had no choice but to shut his mouth aggrievedly.
