Chapter 105 of Henepolis

"Where is he now?" Davers asked with interest.

"He had retired two years ago and returned to Amendolara, but he was a person who couldn't rest. He applied to the Ministry of Military Affairs to serve as the military training officer of Amendolara..."

"Zantiparis is still able to lead the legion to kill enemies in his 60s and make meritorious service to the kingdom. Ktisus is younger than him. I think his performance should be equally excellent, but..." Davers asked with some uncertainty: "He refused to be the commander of the legion many times. Will he agree this time?"

"Your Majesty, this time is different from the past. When you may face combat at any time, the First Legion has no commander. This is actually a big crisis for the First Legion. As a veteran of the First Legion, Kitsus will never stand by and watch, let alone this is a temporary takeover. I believe he will not refuse!" Alexis said confidently.

"Okay, it's him!" Davers agreed very simply, and then asked, "Where is the candidate to replace Prosous?"

Alexis said hesitantly: "What does your Majesty think of Matonis?"

"He is a powerful general, and there is no problem in charging, but he lacks experience in commanding multiple corps to fight, and the local political environment in Greece is complex..."

Davers spoke very tactfully, but Alexis understood it, and he continued, "How about Olivers?"

"Olivers is indeed agile, but he also lacks the experience of commanding multi-corps combat, and he is sometimes not decisive at critical moments, and now the army is facing the Spartans..." Davers said this in an equally tactful manner.

"What about Lizaru?"

"You forgot that I said last time that I tried not to send non-Greek citizens to war, let alone the commander of the first army."

"Your Majesty, I was negligent! So... what about Hilos?"

"How could Hilos suddenly abandon the important task of the Chief Executive of the Turiyi region and go to Peloponnese to lead the army to fight, not to mention that he has left the front line for many years, and is probably a little unfamiliar with commanding the operations... Not only him, but Capps is the same." Davers was a little dissatisfied with the candidates he mentioned, and couldn't help but say, "What do you think of Patrocros?"

Alexis was prepared for a long time, and he immediately responded: "Paltrox is indeed a relatively suitable candidate, but he is now in the Po River area and fights the Aguria at any time and ensures the stability of the Po River area. It is really not appropriate to transfer it away at this time... Sextus is the same in the Iberian region, and although Karcidis is also very capable, he also lacks the experience of commanding multiple legions..."

Davers looked at him and his tone of speaking became stronger: "There are so many generals in the kingdom, can't we find a suitable candidate?!"

"Your Majesty, any of the generals mentioned above can be the commander of an army, but because of the first expedition to Greece, we have higher requirements in order to better show our mother state the strength of the kingdom." Alexis also persuaded in a tactful tone. He paused for a moment, and then said happily: "Your Majesty, I have thought of a suitable candidate, which should meet your requirements!"

"Oh, you said."

"Printoles." Alexis said with a firm tone: "Although he is now the Chief of Staff, he has served as the commander of the 14th Legion, and has commanded many legions during the Western Mediterranean War, with excellent performance. His Majesty should know better than me about his military achievements."

Then Davers forced an order to Apox and Antbres, asking them to move to their new residence. Later, after Eunice got married, he also followed suit. Although Antbres had conflicts, he had to surrender.

Davers also asked the whole family to eat together at night. Sometimes Cristoya would ask Cynthia and Adoris to have dinner together. Since the Crotokataks family just came back, Cynthia and Adoris’s wife often came to party these days.

"...The game is coming to an end, our team is still one point behind, but we still have the last attack, and we are only three meters away from the end line, not three meters, right?" Antbres asked the children surrounding him.

"Yes!!" Several older children rush to answer, and the children shouted together.

"But--" Antbrice stroked his hands and said with a serious expression: "The opponent's players lined up in dense walls of people, blocking us in front of us, and there was no gap to pass at all. What should I do?! After the referee blew the whistle, the game began. Our team's quarterback made a pass to the left winger. After diverting the opponent's attention, he quickly handed the rugby to the player around him. The player who took the ball was me!"

The children made surprised sounds.

"There is not much time left. I held the ball, lowered my head, and arched forward with the help of my teammates. The opponent's players tried desperately to block it, and several people even pressed on me. I used all my strength to carry them, just arching forward... My eyes were full of feet, and I couldn't see where the end line was, so I felt that the time was very long... Suddenly I heard a whistle and we made a touchdown! The game was over, our Turiyi rugby team won the championship of the Kingdom Rugby Finals, and I, your uncle, also became the best player in this final!"

"Wow! Uncle is so awesome!..." Antbrice looked proud in the admiration of the children.

"Isn't it just that I had such an outstanding performance in the final last year? Look at you, I'm bragging every day!" Eunice couldn't help saying: "I always felt that the reason why you were able to make it to the end was because your identity made Udie's players dare not hurt you-"

"You are blasphemy to the holy rugby finals!" Antbrist suddenly turned red with anger and stood up suddenly: "Eunice, you talk nonsense again-"

"Okay!" Cristoya slapped the table hard and shouted: "You two are quieter! You are so old and they quarreled as soon as they meet, and they don't set a good example for the children!"

"It's her that she said first-"

"You still said!" Cristoya yelled again.
