"Go to Latdinum to be a judge?!" Kusnia was stunned for a moment, and felt a little flustered inexplicably: "Latin is so far away from us, and there is a war, it's too unsafe for you to go there to be a judge!" And...... And the child is still so young, I am alone at home to take care of ......"

"Nia, I know if I go to Latium, it will be hard for you to be alone!" Pleka said solemnly: "However, this time is a good opportunity for me!" It has been half a year since I became a trainee judge, and now I have been working as an assistant in the courtroom, and if I want to become a full-fledged judge, I am afraid that it will take two or three years, and if I want to be the presiding judge of a town, I have to hear and handle cases on my own, and it depends on whether there are any vacancies...... I was born as a slave in a captured kingdom, and with no wealthy family to rely on and no high-ranking former masters to help, I was left on my own! You can only do what others don't want to risk doing! Going to Latin is dangerous, but I may be in charge of a town's court directly, and if I do well, I may even get the attention of His Majesty Davers, who is fighting in Latinum...... Maybe one day, I too will be like Master Trito Demose, wearing a white-robed and black-edged Burton (referring to being a senator)! ”

Kusnia looked at her husband in a daze, she knew that her husband had been working very hard, but she had never known that her slightly dark and thin Libyan husband had such great ambitions in his chest......

……………………………………

In the mansion of the leader of Abenirum in the mansion of Geirni, as soon as Gherni saw off the Ionian envoy Karias, his close confidant Maioni entered the living room, and saw Gherni leaning on the wooden chair with a heavy heart, and did not know what he was thinking, and hurriedly asked: "Chief, did the Dionian envoy come this time and ask us to launch an attack on Lesguk?" ”

Truth be told, since the Samonai declared war on the Dionian kingdom, the Abenirum people caught in the middle have been the most uncomfortable.

The High Priest of the Samunai Tribal Alliance also came to Abenirum in person, reaffirmed the ancient and sacred traditions of Samonai to Gherni, and saw Gherni take a heavy oath in the name of Savoni, and then left with confidence. Therefore, the Abenirum were very worried that the Dionians would demand that they attack their own people, which would force them to destroy their ancient traditions, and that they would be spurned by all the Samoneans.

Gherney shook his head: "The Dionians did not ask me to attack Lesguk, nor did they ask us to take a chance. ”

While breathing a sigh of relief, Maioni asked suspiciously, "Since the Dioonians understand us so well, what are you worried about, chief?" ”

Gherney sighed: "The Dionicians believe that Lesguk has always been unfriendly to Dionia, and is also the initiator of this war, which has brought not only harm to Dionia, but also disaster to the Hirpineians, and they hope to ...... I will be able to remove Lesguk from power and become the Grand Leader of Hirpine, and restore peace to Hirpinei and Dionia......"

Maioni's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Chief, this is a good thing! With Dionia's support, you'll be able to easily reclaim the position of Hirpine's Great Leader that rightfully belongs to you! ”

Gherney smiled bitterly, "Maioni, it's against tradition to do this!" What's more, Lesguk has the full support of several other clan leaders and high priests, and his position as the high leader is very secure! ”

"Tradition?!" Maioni snorted angrily: "At the beginning, he Lesiguk insisted on moving the tribe to our Abenirum territory, and directly arranged for them to be the leader, isn't this against tradition!" He can do this, why can't we! It is precisely because he has the support of several other high chiefs and high priests that he has repeatedly wanted to drive the leader you away, and if it were not for the help of the Dionians, Abenirum would have been possessed by the Beneventum people long ago! This time, he took advantage of the war between Dionya and Carthage, inciting the tribes to war with Theoria if the Dionians were defeated...... Chief, I'm afraid we'll have to flee to Dioonia with our people! ”

Hearing this, Gherney's face showed a little ruthlessness, but he said hesitantly: "I also want to drive Lesguk from the position of the Great Leader of Hilpiney!" But how? Do you really want to take advantage of the emptiness of Beneventum's defense now and lead troops to launch a surprise attack on it?! ”

"Chief, that will only increase the rejection and hatred of the Hilpinee tribe and other tribes." Maioni stepped forward and suggested to him: "Lesguk has instigated the tribes to wage war against Dionia, but so far they have not gained any benefit, but have killed and wounded many warriors, and these tribes have no complaints against him?!" Especially we, Hirpini, heard that thousands of people were taken prisoner...... Now, the Dioonians support the leader you to become the great chief of Hilpine, and I think they should put these thousands at your disposal. ”

Hearing this, Gerney pondered for a while, and then said cautiously: "We need to discuss this matter well...... Besides, go and tell the messenger of Dionya that he will stay two more days in Abenirum, and then I will have something important to consult with him. ”

At the same time as Carias was on his mission to Abenirum, Tapirus also came to the city of Naconia in the Campania region, and expressed his willingness to support him as the Grand Leader of Cautini, who was also friendly to Dionia.

Although Quinduk had always been at odds with Segovani, repeatedly claiming that Segovoni had used trickery to take the position of his great chieftain, when Tapirus confronted him, he explicitly refused, claiming that Naconia was unwilling to declare war on his friendly allies, Deonia, nor to cut his sword and spear at his own people against tradition, and that Naconia would remain neutral in this war.

As soon as it was dawn, Davers got up.

Agnes woke up immediately.

"It's still early, you can sleep a little longer." Davers covered her with the quilt with concern.

"You're leaving soon, how can I sleep!" Agnes grumbled, then shouted outside.

The slave girl who had been waiting in the outhouse immediately brought water and a washcloth.

The two began to wash and then get dressed.

Agnes sat down at the dresser and simply combed her hair and put it in a bun. Davers stepped forward and helped her tie her headband.

"Your Majesty, little Chloe is on the battlefield for the first time, you have to take care of him!" Agnes reminded with some concern.

"He's with me, so don't worry." Davers smiled and comforted her.

"Your Majesty, you should also pay attention to safety!" Agnes turned her head and stared at him with concern.

Davers nodded, bent down, and gave her a affectionate kiss on her pretty smooth cheek.

The couple went downstairs and went to the dining room, where they saw Christoya and Crotokataks already waiting.

"Klotto, did you sleep well last night?" Davers asked with a smile.

"Father, at first I couldn't sleep, but then I was so sleepy that I fell asleep in a daze, and in the morning my mother came to wake me up......" said Klotocatax embarrassedly and truthfully.

"You're so much better than when I first played, and I didn't sleep all night......" Davers encouraged him with a self-deprecating expression.

"Klotto, you're on a journey with your father this time, what's there to be nervous about." Christoya chimed in.

"Mother, I'm not nervous, I'm excited! Because I can finally go to the real battlefield! ......" Crotokatáchus blushed and argued.

"What's the difference between nervousness and excitement......" Christoya couldn't help but retort.

"Let's have breakfast first, the porridge is almost cold!" Agnes interjected.

"Hurry up and eat, Matthius and Hennipolis are still waiting for us at the bottom of the mountain." Davers finished speaking, and silence returned to the dining room.

Klotocatax soon drank a bowl of wheat porridge and a bowl of goat's milk, chewed a honey loaf of bread, and nibbled on a fried sea fish......

Agnes had to say in a loud voice: "Chloe, don't worry, eat slowly!" ……”

Klotocatax finished his breakfast in one gulp, walked out of the dining room, took his armor from the head of the housekeeper, Ribazzo, and began to put it on.

In the dining room, Davers was reassuring his two wives that he would take care of their son.

Soon, Davers was also armoured, and he handed his son a helmet with a long black feather crown, and hugged and kissed his two wives goodbye.

"When Eunice, Apox, Briantes, and Avia wake up, tell them that I'll bring them a lot of gifts when I come back from Radium...... Davers said with a smile, turning on his horse.

"Mother! Love Mother Gnes! I'm gone, don't worry, I'll be back safely! Crotocatax also stepped forward to hug them, and said goodbye to them, and then followed them on their horses.

Escorted by ten palace guards, the group galloped down the mountain.

Christoya and Agnes looked at the back of the father and son leaving, and did not want to go back to the house for a long time......

At this time, the sky is gray, the full moon is still hanging in the sky, and a few microstars can be faintly seen.

The cold air of the early morning drove away the drowsiness on the people and made Klotocatax energetic, and he couldn't help but ask: "Father, when I get to Latium, do I have a chance to go into battle to kill the enemy?" ”

Davers had clearly thought about it, and he replied without hesitation: "Yes!" ”

Klotocatax could see that Davers was not perfunctory, so he was in a more uplifted mood, and he rushed ahead first, and soon reached the bottom of the mountain.
