Chapter 65: Davers's Farewell

In the cheers of the Samonian warriors, Torek's face was full of excitement, he knew that the shortcomings of the Samonai people who were not good at attacking the city had been filled by this terrible thing, and he was already sure that he would take the city of Poseidonia. By capturing the city, not only did they have a better port, which would allow the Syracuse to transport more food to them, but his poor people could also plunder and reap more profits......

…………………………

In the evening, a family dinner was being held at the Archon's mansion in Turiyi, attended by Davers's two wives, his adopted daughter Cynthia, his adopted son Adoris, and his son Crotocatax, as well as Asuna, the housekeeper in the backyard, Ribazzo, the slave supervisor in the front yard, and Aristiras, the intelligence chief.

Tonight's main meal is shabu beef and mutton, so everyone has a wooden table, a copper pot and an iron stove in front of everyone, except for Clotokataxques, because he is still young, eating shabu alone, Christoya is not very at ease, but Christoya herself is now pregnant in September, and it is not very convenient to move, how can she have the energy to take care of him. And little Chloe's other mother, Agnes, was pregnant for more than 2 months, and it was the time when the pregnancy reaction was the most violent, and she couldn't even look at the beef and mutton, so she could only change to fruits, mushrooms, sea vegetables and other vegetarian dishes, and of course she couldn't take care of him. So little Chloe sat with Arsuna.

At this time, Davers, who was sitting in the first place, looked at everyone and said seriously: "Tomorrow I will lead the team to leave Turiyi and go to Portentia, and I can't take care of my family. Kristoea and Agnes are both pregnant, so the family needs to be taken care of by Arsuna, Ribazzo, and Aristiras, and the three of you! Here, I would like to thank you in advance! He said, picking up his wine.

As he spoke, both Christoya and Agnes stared at their husbands with concern, and the worry on their beautiful faces could not be concealed.

Asuna and Ribazo hurriedly stood up.

Davos hurriedly beckoned: "Sit down!" Sit down! You're all already Dionian pre-citizens, and we're all family, don't make yourself like strangers! Learn from Aristiras! ”

Aristiras's grim face barely squeezed out a smile, the reason why he didn't stand up was only because he was once a citizen of Katanai and he was not used to the humility of Asuna, he also picked up his wine and replied seriously: "Your Excellency, you can rest assured. I will have my men closely monitor the whole of Turiyi, and if I find anything abnormal, I will immediately go to Kaps and Kunogorata as you say, and eliminate the hidden danger! ”

"Good! The safety of this home depends on you! Davers raised his glass, drank it all, and filled it again.

Asuna immediately said: "Master, I will take care of these female slaves in the courtyard and take care of the two ladies!" And I will regularly invite Lord Herps to come and check on me, and I have the blessings of the two gods Hades and Hera at home......" Asuna looked at Christoya and Egnes, and said with a smile: "When you come back, the two ladies and children will be healthy!" ”

"Good! Assuna, if all is well, when I come back, I will reward you well! How about finding you a husband who satisfies you! Davers quipped happily.

Asuna immediately protested, "My lord, it's not fair that your dignified Archon de Ionia makes fun of me! ”

"My lord, you are busy every day, you don't know yet, Asuna has already been interested in someone." Christoya whispered to the side.

"Oh, yes?!" Davers became interested and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" Can you tell me? ”

Asuna blushed, glanced at Aristilas at the table next to her, and bowed her head in silence.

Davers's heart moved, and he didn't ask again: "Come, Assuna, thank you for taking care of the two ladies and children all the time, and for this drink!" ”

Asuna drank it dryly.

Davos looked at Aristiras, who seemed to know nothing about it, and said to her, "I have a suggestion for you, ask Agnes more often, with Hera's protection, I am afraid that your wish will not be fulfilled!" ”

When Asuna heard this, she was moved.

Who knew that Egnes reminded bluntly: "The two love each other is under the jurisdiction of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and Hera is only responsible for marriage and family." ”

"Love without marriage is a lie." Davers said half-teasingly, half-seriously: "In Dionia, Hera is also responsible for pre-marital love. ”

"My lord, you don't need to worry about Asuna's affairs, it's my responsibility." Christoya smiled, relieved Asuna from her embarrassment, and then said to RibazΓ³ seriously: "RibazΓ³, the affairs of the outer court will be left to you, don't let the chores disturb me during this time." ”

"Madam, don't worry, I'll take care of it! That's my job! Ribazzo respectfully drank the wine from his glass.

At this time, Cynthia said, "Father, I will also take care of my mother and younger brothers." ”

When Davers heard this, his face was happy: "Okay! Good! Our daughter is grown up and can help the family! Come on, I'll give you a drink, too! ”

"Daddy, Daddy, I'm going to drink this too, and I'm going to take care of Mom too!" Little Chloe also began to shout.

"Good! Good! Good! ......" Davers shook his drunken head, overjoyed.

…………………………

Late at night, in Christoya's bedroom, Christoya's lazy voice sounded: "I think you should go and accompany Agnes, she needs you more at this moment......"

"Don't talk, get some rest." Davers patted her shoulder with his left hand around her snow-white neck and whispered.

Christoya turned slightly sideways, burrowed her head into Davers's arms again, sniffed his breath, and murmured, "You say, if I give birth to a daughter, I'll be called Eunice, okay?" ”

"Eunice......" Davers whispered the name (Eunice means happy victory) with a gentle smile on his face: "Good name, what if it's a son?" ”

"Then it's called Apox (which means courage)." Christoya whispered without hesitation, apparently having already thought about it.

"Davers. Apox, Davers. Crotocatax ...... Okay, that's the name! Davers readily agreed.

But for a long time, Christoya did not respond.

Davers looked down and saw that his wife was already asleep, and the pregnant woman at this time was very sleepy.

Davers gently straightened her sleeping position, kissed her plump and smooth face affectionately, and then draped Burton and walked to the outhouse where Assuna was standing.

"Christoya is already asleep, what about the child?"

"Little Chloe is asleep too."

"You take care of them, I'll go see Egnes."

As soon as he entered the bedroom of his second wife, he heard Agnes's soft and expectant voice: "Davers, is that you?" ”

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?! It's not good for kids! Davers scolded softly, and lovingly picked her up from the edge of the bed, and wanted to put her on the bed, but Egnes grabbed her by the neck, and she whispered worriedly: "I'm a little worried......"

Davers hugged her delicate body and lay down on the bed together: "What are you worried about? Nothing to worry about! With Hades' blessing, your husband and I have yet to lose on the battlefield! I promise you, I'll be back soon! ……”

Davers's confident promise dissipated Agnes' worries a little, and she pressed her husband tightly and asked softly, "I...... Are my parents in danger of them? ”

Davers was stunned. In fact, with the outbreak of war between Dioonia and Syracuse, Lijim was the most dangerous, cut off by Lockri and his allies, far from the center of southern Italy, and most vulnerable to enemy attacks.

But at this moment, Davers couldn't tell the truth, he said in a deep voice: "Our South Italian coalition will not easily let Syracuse threaten Lijim!" However, for the sake of safety, it is best to advise your family to take refuge in Turii during this time. ”

There is a shipyard in Attilicruz in Turriyi, and it is more convenient to contact them.

"Hmm!" Agnes replied softly.

…………………………

The next day, all the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Army Corps, which had been mobilized for war early, took the oath at Turriyi Victory Square, and then nearly 20,000 soldiers and the baggage battalion marched westward.

The people of Turiyi and Amendorala rushed to see them off, and in their opinion, this was the first time that the 1st and 2nd Legions had fought in a distant and unfamiliar land. In the past, the army had reached Coronia as far as possible, but after all, it was a Greek city-state, and there was often trade, and it could be reached in a day by boat, but this time it was to fight in the strange mountainous area where the natives were rampant, and the concern and worry about relatives were naturally heavier.

So the people sent it again and again, and they didn't want to leave for a long time.

At the end of the procession, Davers was saying goodbye to the senators: "Master Kunogorata, Master Cornerus...... Ladies and gentlemen, the affairs of Dionya will be handed over to you first! Davers solemnly gave a military salute to the senators who saw them off.

"My lord, if there is anything, we will send someone to discuss it with you in time!" Kunogorata made a promise.

"Win early! Come back soon! Cornerus said expectantly.

Davos nodded and turned to Wesbah: "Don't worry, the Samonai will never be able to storm our Lucanian territory!" ”

"Your Excellency, the Lucanians of Pothenia also ask you to pay more attention!" Hmon pleaded.

"I'll do my best!" Davers replied, and he looked at Hieronimus and Kaps, who gave him a military salute, and he needed no more to say anything more as the affairs of the army had been arranged beforehand.

His eyes finally stopped on Marigi and Plesinas, and both sides nodded slightly invisibly.
