"Okay, then it's decided, and then you will follow me and set off for Persia!" At this time, Davers smiled, looked at the former Secretary of Commerce in the crowd, and said, "Mariji, you should be very happy that you will be back to your hometown soon, right?" ”

Marigi replied calmly: "Your Majesty, I have lived here for most of my life, and I have long been a Dionian, and the reason why I want to follow you to Persia is because I am still familiar with it, and I hope to give you some good advice on the way to war." ”

"You're duplicitous." Epitenis said as she squeezed on the sidelines.

Marigi's words alerted Davers, and he immediately asked: "Is Izzam among your men who are going to Persia?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, he is the most active one, after all, he can return to his hometown." Felicius replied with a smile.

Alexis immediately understood what Davers meant, and continued, "He should be at home now, do you need to call him right away?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll have time later." Davers looked at everyone and sighed, "It's been a long time since we've got together!" Today, don't be in a hurry to go back, I'll send someone to call all the old mercenaries in Turiyi, such as Mattonis, Olivers, and Alpuns, and I'll set up a banquet in the palace, let's have a good chat, okay?! ”

"Great!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

…………………………………………………………………………

Late at night, Davers, who had finished the banquet, returned to the Mansion of the King's Hill.

When he came to the backyard, he found that the hall of the main building in front of him was lit with candles, which was very strange. When he walked in, there were two princesses, Christoia and Egnes, sitting in the huge living room, and he was drunk, and asked, "It's so late, you two...... Why don't you go to bed yet? ”

"Your Majesty, we are waiting for you." Christoya said with disgust.

"Wait for me? Belch...... What's the matter? Davers burped.

Agnes immediately went over to help him sit down, and then brought him a cup of hot honey water that had been prepared, and asked with concern, "We heard that Your Majesty is going to personally lead a large army to attack Persia this time, is this true?" ”

Davers held her hand and comforted her softly: "You two don't worry, Persia is obviously weakened now, and we are fully capable of defeating it completely, so that it will no longer be a hidden danger to the kingdom...... Well, besides, this time it's a war between the two great powers of Dionya and Persia, and almost all the legions of the kingdom will be dispatched, so if I don't go to the army myself, I won't worry! ”

Davers squeezed Egnes's hand, looked at Christoya, and said in a softer tone: "Don't worry, this is the last time I will lead troops into battle, and when this war is over, I will be by your side well, and I won't let you two worry anymore!" ”

"Your Majesty." Christoya was a little moved, but the expression on her face quickly became serious: "In the past, you led the troops into battle, and my sister and I could only wait at home, but this time you are going to Persia, and we have already discussed that we want to go with you!" ”

"What?!" Halfway awake, Dashston looked at Christoya and then at Agnes beside him, and asked in disbelief, "You're not joking, are you?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Christoya straightened her chest and said in an accentuated tone, "I've been discussing with Agnes for a day today, and now I'm making this request with a very serious attitude, and I hope you will take it seriously!" ”

"Okay." Davers let go of Egnes' hand, sat up straight, coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice, "I don't agree! ”

Seeing Christoya's face raised, Davos then explained: "I made the Dionian Military Law, and it is precisely because of its strict implementation that the army has been able to achieve victory after victory and have the powerful kingdom it is today. Article 91 of the Military Law specifically stipulates that 'generals and soldiers shall not march or fight with their families, and shall not take women into abduction, and violators shall be punished by beheading!'" 'Do you want me to be beheaded?'

Even if no one dares to do this, but as the maker of military law and the commander of the whole army, I have violated military law, so will the soldiers below still seriously abide by it? Once this bad start is opened, and it eventually leads to the corruption of military discipline, can the army still win the battle?! ……”

Agnes was a little moved, and she looked at Christia.

Christoya was unmoved: "Military law stipulates that no woman in the army can fight with the march? So aren't the nurses in the various regimental medical battalions women? ”

Without thinking, Davers retorted: "They are not women, they are soldiers, and the soldiers have long since stopped treating them as women for decades, they are already part of the various legions." ”

Christoya said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the nurses of this medical battalion were still formed by me according to Your Majesty's suggestion, and I was still the captain of the nurses at that time, and now I can also serve again-"

"It's absolutely not going to work!" Davers said in a resolute tone: "You two are now the princess of the Kingdom of Dionia, the mother of a country in the hearts of the people, it is no longer comparable to a few decades ago, and going to work in the medical camp will only disrupt the normal order of the medical camp and affect their work efficiency!" What's more important is that the safety of the two of you cannot be guaranteed, in case something happens to you, can I still command the battle with peace of mind! ”

"Your Majesty." Christoya's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said a little choked: "I followed you from Persia to Great Greece, and have not returned to my homeland for decades, and I have heard merchants in Asia Minor say that since Persia regarded the kingdom as an enemy, I have learned through some channel that I was born in Miletus, although my father was punished by the Persians for the rebellion of Cyrus...... I had passed away 10 years ago, but this time the Persians were killing my father's family...... Hundreds of people, including neighbors...... Either be killed or become a slave......"

Crystal tears flowed from her well-groomed white cheeks, but her voice became a little sharp: "Your Majesty, I swear in the name of Hades that this time I will personally go to Miletus, and all the Persians who participated in the killing of my family and all the accomplices of Miletus must be punished!" I will do my best to find all the surviving tribesmen and let them settle down again and live a prosperous life, which I owe them! ……”

Davers was silent: in fact, he had already learned about the massacre of Christoya's family from the information obtained by Aristias five years ago, and in order not to make his wife sad, he concealed it, but Christoya already knew about it, but he had been suffering it silently...... If her father was retaliated against by the king of Persia for his involvement in the rebellion of Cyrus, it can be said that it had nothing to do with Dionia, and the destruction of her family was really the cause of Davers, and now Christoya swears in the name of God, which shows her resoluteness.

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

At this time, Agnes spoke: "Your Majesty, do you think this is going to work?" My sister and I will not go to Persia with the army, so as not to embarrass you, and when the war is going well, we will follow the baggage fleet to ......."

"It's still a bit dangerous...... "Davers finally compromised in the face of the expectant and pleading eyes of his two wives, "Okay, I'll arrange this matter...... But, Christoya, you're gone, who's in charge of your Chamber of Commerce? And Egnes, who will preside over the Temple of Hera? ”

"Eunice is now able to take charge on her own, I'm gone, and of course she'll be in charge of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Cynthia will preside over the daily rituals of the Temple of Hera for me."

"Little Chris, what about them? Are you willing to leave them alone? Davers tentatively made a last-ditch effort.

Christoya said in a resolute tone: "I'm not their mother, so there's nothing to be reluctant about." ”

Seeing the resolute attitude of the two wives, Davers lowered his head and slowly took a sip of honey water, and then said, "That's it...... When the whole of western Asia Minor has been conquered, I will inform the Ministry of War and send an army to take you to Miletus, and when the matter of Miletus is dealt with, you two will return, shall you?" ”

"No way!" Christoya immediately objected: "If you conquer Persia this time, Agnes and I will go with you to Babylon!" ”

Davers was stunned: "What are you doing in Babylon?" ”

Agnes didn't speak, but Christoya was quite direct: "I heard that the king of Persia has many women, and we are afraid that you will marry another one, so we have to keep an eye on it!" ”

Davers was abrupt: "What are you thinking, how could I do such a thing that violates military law!" Besides, I'm all this age, how can I still have that kind of mind! ”

Christoya pouted: "Who knows, it is said that the king of Persia is a handful of years old and married his own daughter, and my sister and I follow you to prevent you from making mistakes!" ”

Davers shook his head helplessly.

Although the Persians in Asia Minor received the news that "Dionya had declared war on Persia and formed a Greek coalition to attack Persia", they also noticed that because the people of the Greek city-states were preparing to harvest the farmland that was about to be harvested and had not begun military mobilization, they all believed that the Greek coalition attack would not come too soon, and as a result, the 10th Army of Theoria successfully landed on the beach of Bosmisia on the eastern shore of the Hellespont.

Of course, even if Theopampus, the governor of Misia, was prepared, he was powerless to prevent the landing of the Dionian army, and at most he would only cause some trouble for the Tenth Legion.
