Chapter Seventy-Three: A New Star Rises
In fact, in addition to Podare Ríos, the most popular thing for King Garras is Europa.
Europa is the youngest daughter of Aloyos and is seven years old. Her mother was the Roman beauty Venus, the "Venus" who had the color of the country and shot Aloyos with an arrow. In general, beauties have been recognized as beauties since childhood, and Europa is a little girl who is as beautiful as an angel. In the palace, it has always been a small candy that people love, and it makes people feel sweet when they look at it. And her heart is as beautiful as her appearance, very kind and clear, like an angel who brings love and warmth to everyone.
Garrus doted on Europa, and he always took her around these days. He asked Aloyos if he would agree to bring Europa back to Macedonia to live for a while, and Aloyos agreed. But Aloyos begged the king to keep Podarerios and Sith with him to be nurtured by him, and Garas readily agreed, for the king must have had military training when he saw that the two children were well-read, intelligent, studious, and able-bodied. With such an education, he himself was relieved.
The people around Aloyos would say that he was a very fond of children, and that he spent his days hanging out with his two sons except for official business. Aloyos' only hobby was leading his troops to war, and now that the war was over, he planned to pass on his abilities to the next generation so that they could become his true heirs. It was an ancient tradition that the king of Macedonia had to personally lead his soldiers into battle to kill his enemies.
Aloyos paid special attention to the education of his children, just as his elders had raised him before. He hired for his two sons the best teachers in the Macedonian kingdom, including famous Greek philosophers, Roman rhetoricians, and compilers of Macedonian history. When it came to political and military subjects, he personally went into battle, taught them by word and deed, and carefully cultivated them.
When Podarerios and Sith were still very young and a few years old, Aloyos would take them to the training ground of the Legion barracks, where he would personally teach them the skills of fighting and defeating the enemy, and accompany them in strength training. Aloyos' view is to practice martial arts to be strong, and to learn literature to be wise. He wanted Podare Rios to cultivate his fighting spirit and the will to fight endlessly through martial arts; Learn knowledge and do learning, quietly cultivate self-cultivation and morality, and know the world to increase wisdom and mental strength.
The two children endured the punches and kicks of their harsh father, and only by taking pain and suffering as a necessary experience to improve themselves could they become qualified heirs to the throne. Aloyos would have told them plainly that the sweat of the Macedonians could save the blood of the Macedonians. In order to improve the children's self-defense skills, he also hired different wrestlers to train and guide Podare Rios and Sith. Even though the Sith was only ten years old at this time, he was already a good fighter.
The three of them would practice fighting each other from time to time, and Podare Rios would always be able to knock his brother Sith to the ground without mercy. After training, he always rubbed his brother's injured area and helped him with medicine. It can be seen that he is a person who loves his younger brother. When the two of them teamed up against their father, there was always a tacit understanding that Podare Rios would be very good at using the Sith to feint, and he would launch a threatening surprise attack. This pleased Aloyos, who knew how to care for his subordinates and was able to grasp the principle of not tiring deceit.
Podare Rios spoke Greek and Latin, and his Latin was Venusian. He was a quick learner, and by the age of 12 he was fluent in Greek and Latin, and could easily read through Roman history and Greek philosophy on his own.
By the age of 14, Podare Rios had already become a qualified samurai, and he was agile and quick to kill. When he was sent to Sicily to inspect it, he encountered a group of robbers, and he himself drew his sword and rushed to the front of the guards, and he completed seven consecutive kills by himself, and the bandits had no chance to make a move. The story of the young hero soon spread throughout Sicily and throughout Rome.
After seeing the performance in the Colosseum, he claimed that he could also kill the beast with a single click, and the king of Rome would never allow him to take such a risk. But Podare Rios became serious, and never told lies, and he must have been sure that he said so. In the end, he was awarded the title of "the man who commanded the lions".
The fame and prestige of Podare Ríos were gradually established in Rome, and he was like a rising star in the kingdom of Macedonia.
Aloyos was in charge of Rome and had a lot of work to do every day. His family life is also quite happy, with a wife and a concubine, two sons and a daughter. So Aloyos lived a fulfilling life. The days without fighting seemed a little peaceful to him, and he enjoyed the joy of glory and wealth, which was also one of the great joys of life.
He had many of his own henchmen and generals, some of whom he brought out by himself, and some of whom were later promoted through meritorious service. He selects generals, regardless of their origins, but only on talent and loyalty. Therefore, these people are his right-hand men, and they are loyal to him alone.
At the top of the list must be his friend Thessaros Skotusa, 31 years old. This is the right-hand man he trusts the most, and he has the best personal relationship with him. His wife is Little, 30 years old. Ducarus was Aloyos' cousin and a good helper, helping him with his internal affairs and commanding the Third Roman Legion. General Amintas, appointed by the former king, was the commander of the 1st Greek Regiment.
And Ayaks, the cavalry captain he promoted in battle. The rest of the generals were Petrinos Pillos, Paminian Antigonilla, Xenokratis Morgantina, Polycrates Delium, Admantos Patra, Attalus.
Satisfied, Garas returned to Macedonia with Europa and Abrias. Abrias saw that his brother's family was so lively, and he remembered that his little family was also very warm. He married relatively late, now 32 years old, and his wife Mopadia is only 21 years old and has two children, the eldest daughter Monimi is 4 years old, and the youngest son Arshidios is only 2 years old.
Oonos is 50 years old and has four children. The eldest daughter, Cariop, is 28 years old and married to 27-year-old Alex Sachs Olope. The second son, Ducarros, was 25 years old and served in Rome. The third daughter, Dmitria, was 14 years old and married Amoparn Rasimaga, who was two years older than her. The youngest son was 11 years old and his name was Anaxaksus.
Oonos has been fighting for many years, has a high position, and has many followers. The henchmen were Zoir Ross Echnos, Memon, Bolon, Paison, Artemios. Among them, Zoiros Echnos was the general of the town in Scythia, and he was still loyal to Oonos. His sons-in-law also served in the army, and Alexachs Olope served as a commander under Abrias. Amoparn Lesimaga served under Ducarros.
Damasos is also 41 years old, and his wife Doris is 28 years old. They have two daughters, Aegean is 8 years old, and she is a beautiful girl. Damasos took care of the Aegean Sea, so he married the pearl of his palm to the related name Aegena. The little girl is 6 years old Anastasia.
Damasos befriended a confidant in the Greek Wars, Hipostratus Gera, 35 years old, and in the Roman Wars, he trained a loyal general named Polype Abronia, 31 years old. But there's a good chance Damasos was gay.
