Chapter 232: Seeing Off the King (2)

Avia, another of King Davers's own daughters, sat in the royal carriage that followed, and did not show up, much to the regret of the people of Turiyi. Because of the Dionian princess's introverted and shy personality and lack of public appearances, the people of Turriy did not know much about her at first, until she became the director of the zoo, because she had to take care of the animals, and had contact with tourists and children visiting the zoo, everyone learned about her kindness and innocence, and thus won the love of the people.

Christoya, Agnes, Cynthia, Avia, and the children were divided into two royal carriages, followed by two groups of court cavalry.

The procession of the Dionian royal family was very simple compared to that of his enemy Persia, but the popular support for them was far from being comparable to that of the Persian royal family.

"King Davers !! Victory"

"Hades. Davers Royal Victory!! ”

……

The populace continued to cheer to show their admiration and support for King Davers and his family, as well as their best wishes for the war to come.

These more formal cheers were mixed with some personal hobbies: "May Hades bless the beautiful Princess Eunice!" ”

"May Hades bless the kind Princess Avia!"

"Prince Antebris, I love you!"

……

Eunice laughed and quipped, "Antbris, do you hear me, be careful that I complain to Ronya!" ”

"I don't even know that woman, maybe she's a rugby fan like you! Don't talk nonsense! Antebriss hastened to argue. Ronya is his wife, the daughter of a rugby team owner in Turiy, cheerful and generous, passionate about sports, has not accepted Antebris's courtship, worried about being constrained after marrying into the royal family, Antebris's perseverance in the pursuit, until last year's sports meeting The two did not get married, making him the latest of Davers' children, and it can be regarded as a matter of the Davers's heart. Because this marriage was not easy to come by, Antbriss cherished it very much.

"Don't worry, Ante, Eunice won't talk nonsense, she can't afford to lose Ronya's friend!" Apox said lightly.

"Apox, just talk to you!" Eunice glanced at him dissatisfied, indeed Eunice and Ronya have similar personalities and interests, since Ronya married into the royal family, the two quickly became friends, and the two often appeared together in the stands of the stadium in last year's rugby and football competitions, becoming a beautiful scenery in the game.

Davers looked around with a smile on his face and waved to the cheering crowd on the side of the road, but the horse under his crotch did not slow down in the slightest, and soon the procession reached the inner city dock.

The dignitaries of the Kingdom Administration Office, the various departments, and the senators of the Senate were already waiting here, and when they saw the arrival of King Davers, they greeted him in an orderly manner and bowed respectfully.

Davers turned over and dismounted, looked at the five auxiliary ministers who came closer, and said solemnly: "After I go to the Eastern Mediterranean, the affairs of the kingdom will be entrusted to you!" ”

"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, His Highness Klotockatux is very capable, and we will definitely do our best to assist him!" Haka said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, we will do our best to maintain the stability of the kingdom and wait patiently for your triumphant return!" Cipros said earnestly.

"Your Majesty, we will do our best to ensure the logistics supply of the army, and you can attack the Persians with confidence!" Anta Oris also followed.

Davers nodded with a smile, and patted the shoulders of Bagul and Adriankos, who had not spoken but looked resolute, many things had been arranged before, and he didn't need to say anything more at this moment.

He smiled and greeted the ministers and elders who had come forward to greet him, and slowly walked towards the trestle.

When he walked to the docked royal two-eyed dragon ship, he was only followed by his own family.

He stopped, his eyes swept softly over the faces of each of his family members, and finally fell on Patroclus, whom he had just called from the crowd, and said solemnly: "Paltrow, the safety of the kingdom and the safety of the royal family are entrusted to you!" ”

"Your Majesty—" As soon as Patroclus spoke, he saw Davers's face unswerving, and hurriedly changed his words: "Father, I will definitely do my best to assist Cloto and maintain the stability of the kingdom!" ”

Previously, Davers had ordered the Ministry of War to transfer Hasdruba to the post of commander of the 14th Army and follow him to Persia, so that Sextus could take over as commander of the kingdom's northern frontier.

He then appointed his most trusted son-in-law, Patroclus, as commander of the Kingdom Reserve Army, stationed in the Turrii barracks, a temporary position whose most important mission was to mobilize reserves in any region to quell the turmoil in the event of internal unrest, especially in the Italian peninsula.

Patroclus was initially reluctant to accept it, and he was eager to participate in the massive war between Dionia and Persia, but after much discussion with Davers and his wife, Cynthia, he finally accepted the appointment.

Davers has led the army many times before, and there has never been such an arrangement, why did he come here this time? That's because Davers believes that due to the distance and vast territory of Persia, the war may last for a long time, and the Kingdom of Dioonia has almost exhausted all the regular legions, and the domestic defense will be insufficient, in case of emergencies, it is difficult for the army to come back in time, so it is necessary to have a most trustworthy general to sit in the kingdom and gather the remaining military resources to maintain the security of the kingdom.

Of course, there is another important reason that cannot be said in Davers's mind: Patroclus is still young, has already made great achievements, and enjoys a good reputation in the army, if he returns from the Persian war, his prestige in the army will be further enhanced, which will not be conducive to the rule of Crotocátarchs over the kingdom, even if he believes that Patroclus's character is completely trustworthy after years of careful observation, he still has to take precautions to avoid future rifts in the royal family, so that the family can always maintain harmony.

Davers nodded, looked at his son, the future king, and said in a deep voice: "Take care of your two mothers and siblings, after I leave, the kingdom will be handed over to you, do it well!" ”

After that night of father-son conversation, Klotocatachus, of course, understood the true meaning of Davers's words, and felt the weight of this weight, he took a deep breath, and replied with a look of seriousness that he had never seen before: "Yes, father! ”

"Your Majesty, don't forget, inform me and Agnes to go to Miletus when the time comes!" At this time, Christoya suddenly reminded loudly.

Davers stared at the charming faces of the two wives and smiled softly, "You two just wait for my good news." ”

"Grandpa, I really want to go to Persia with you!" Christoped couldn't help but say.

Davos bent down with a kind face: "You are still too young now, when you learn the knowledge of school, and your body grows taller and stronger, then grandpa will not only take you to Persia, but also Egypt and Greece, do you say?" ”

"Good!" Christopod nodded vigorously.

Davers smiled and gently pinched his little face with his hand, and finally boarded the two-headed dragon ship under the attention of his relatives.

"Your Majesty." Henipolis, the court clerk, and Aristiras, the former intelligence chief, who were waiting at the entrance, bowed.

"Your Majesty, you are too slow to come...... Ahem...... Our feet waiting on the boat are getting moldy! It was Amintas, who was in a wheelchair, who was complaining, and Alexis and Felicius all came forward to salute Davers.

"Amintas, you are so old, this temperament still does not change, you must know that fighting with a big country like Persia is in a hurry." Davers jokingly said as he motioned to Henipolis, "Let's get out of the boat." ”

Amidst the cheers and farewells, the two-headed dragon slowly sailed away from the dock and just entered the Klatty River, when even louder cheers rang out all around, and it turned out that the banks of the Klatty River were also crowded with people, who were excitedly waving and shouting at this unique warship in the kingdom.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the people's enthusiasm for this war is very high!" Felicius said happily.

"Over the years, the people of Turii have made great sacrifices for the kingdom, and I am afraid that they hope that the soldiers of the First and Second Legions will return more smoothly and triumphantly!" Davers said with a sigh.

As soon as he finished speaking, Amintas suddenly coughed loudly.

While the two-headed dragon was sailing down the river, the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Legions were boarding the ships in the port of Turiyi, and at the mouth of the Clatty River, thousands of ships of the 1st and 2nd fleets were waiting there, they had been ordered to return to the kingdom only a month before, and during this time they had been running back and forth between the Italian peninsula and the southern bay of the Peloponnese, responsible for ensuring the safety of the routes of the legion troop carriers in the various regions of the kingdom, and escorting the first, The troop carriers of the Second Legion and the ship of King Davers were the last and certainly the most important of the two fleets' trips during this time.

The huge fleet sailed out of the Gulf of Turiyi, crossed the Adriatic estuary, passed through the coastal islands of Corfu, Kepharonia, Zakynsus, and entered the Gulf of Messenia.

Although Messenia is now a subsidiary of the Kingdom of Dionia, most of its council members have Ionian citizenship, and the citizens of Messenia who were born in Helot are full of gratitude and reverence for Dionia, and the two sides have very close contacts, in fact, it is not much different from the kingdom's own territory. At the same time, it served as a relay station for maritime trade between the kingdom and the Greek mainland, which greatly promoted the development of its trade, and the continuous expansion of the port in recent years was no longer the humble appearance of the original, and it was fully able to accommodate the stationing of this huge fleet and meet the supply needs of the two legions.
