Chapter 228 The request of the princess

"Okay, that's it. Then you follow me to go to Persia!" At this time, Davers smiled, looked at the former Minister of Commerce in the crowd, and said, "Marigi, you can return to your hometown soon, should you be very happy?"

Marigi calmly replied: "Your Majesty, I have lived here for most of my life and have long been a Dionysian. The reason I want to follow you to Persia is because I am quite familiar with it and hope to provide you with some good advice during the war."

"You are right and wrong." Epitensis said on the side.

Marigi's words reminded Davers, and he immediately asked, "Izam is among you who are going to Persia?"

"Yes, your majesty, he is the most active signing up. After all, he can return to his hometown." Phyllissius replied with a smile.

Alexis immediately understood what Davers meant and continued, "He should be at home now. Do you need to call him right away?"

"Don't worry, there's time in the future." Davers looked at everyone and sighed: "We old brothers have not been together for a long time! Today, don't rush back. I'll send someone to call the former mercenaries, Olivers, Alpuns and other people in Turiyi. I'll set up a banquet in the palace. Let's have a good chat. OK?"

"Very good!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Late at night, Davers, who ended the banquet, returned to the residence of King Hill.

When he arrived at the backyard, he found that the candles in the main building hall in front were bright and he felt very strange. When he walked in, he saw two princesses, Christoya and Agenice, sitting in the huge living room. He asked with drunkenness: "It's so late, why don't you... go to bed?"

"Your Majesty, we are waiting for you." Christoya said angrily.

"Wait for me? Uh...what's wrong?" Davers burped.

Agenth immediately went over and helped him sit down, then brought him a cup of hot honey water that had been prepared, and asked with concern: "We heard that your Majesty, you are going to lead a large army to attack Persia this time. Is this true?"

Davers held her hand and comforted softly: "Don't worry, you two have the obvious weakness of Persia's national strength now. We are fully capable of defeating it completely so that it will no longer become a hidden danger to the kingdom... Well, this time it is a war between the two great powers of Dionia and Persia. Almost all the legions of the kingdom are dispatched. If I don't fight in person, I won't feel relieved!"

Davers gently pinched Agenth's hand and looked at Christoya, his tone became gentler: "Don't worry, this is my last time leading troops to fight. After this war is over, I will be with you well and will not worry you two anymore!"

"Your Majesty." Cristoya was a little moved, but the expression on her face quickly became serious: "You used to lead troops to fight, so my sister and I could only wait at home, but this time you are going to Persia, we have already agreed to go with you!"

"What?!" Davers was sobered up in half, looking at Christoya, then at Agents beside him, and asked in disbelief: "Aren't you joking?"

"Your Majesty!" Cristoya straightened her chest and said in a stressful tone: "Agenice and I have discussed it for a day today. Now we are making this request with a very serious attitude. I hope you will take it seriously too!"

"Okay." Davers let go of Agenis's hand, sat upright, coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "I don't agree!"

Seeing Cristoya lifting her face, Davers continued to explain: "I formulated the "Dionia Military Law". It is precisely because of the strict implementation of it that the army can achieve victory after victory, and have today's powerful kingdom. Article 91 of the Military Law specifically stipulates, "Generals and soldiers are not allowed to carry their families to march, fight, and they are not allowed to plunder women. Violators are punished with beheading!" Do you want me to beheaded?

Even if no one dares to do this, as the maker of military law and the commander of the entire army, I violated military law. Will the soldiers below still abide by it seriously? Once this bad start is made, it will eventually lead to the corruption of military discipline. Can the army still win the battle?!…”

Agenth was a little moved, and she looked at Christoya.

Cristoya was unmoved: "Military law stipulates that women in the army must not follow the army to fight? Then aren't nurses in the medical camps of various legions not women?"

Davers retorted without hesitation: "They are not women, they are soldiers. For decades, soldiers have long regarded them as women. They are already part of the various legions."

Cristoya said with a smile: "Speaking of this nurse in the medical camp, I was formed by you according to your Majesty's advice. I was the captain of the nurses at that time, and now I can also serve as the nurses again-"

"This is absolutely not possible!" Davers said firmly: "You two are now the princess of the Kingdom of Dionia and the mother of a country in the hearts of the people. They are no longer comparable to those that they could have been decades ago. Taking a job in the medical camp will only disrupt the normal order of the medical camp and affect their work efficiency! More importantly, your safety cannot be guaranteed. If something happens to you, can I still command the battle with peace of mind!"

"Your Majesty." Cristoya suddenly turned red and said with a choking feeling: "I followed you from Persia to Greece, and haven't returned to my hometown for decades. I have heard people doing business in Asia Minor say that since Persia regarded the kingdom as an enemy, I don't know how to learn that I was born in Miledo. Although my father was punished by the Persians because of the rebellion of Cyrus that year... he had passed away 10 years ago, this time the Persians killed my father's family... hundreds of people, even neighbors... either killed or become slaves..."

Crystal tears flowed down her fair cheeks that were well maintained, but her voice became a little sharp: "Your Majesty, I swear in the name of Hades that I must go to Milidu in person this time. All Persians who participated in the killing of my family and all the accomplices of Milidu must be punished! I will try my best to find all the surviving tribe members, so that they can settle down again and live a prosperous life. This is what I owe them!..."

Davers was silent: in fact, he had already learned from the information obtained by Aristillas from the information obtained by Aristillas that the Cristoya family was slaughtered. In order not to make his wife sad, he concealed it. Unexpectedly, Cristoya had already known it, but she had been silently enduring it... If her father was retaliated by the Persian king because of being involved in the rebellion of Cyrus, it could be said that it had nothing to do with Diony, and the destruction of his family was really the reason for Davers. Now Cristoya swears in the name of God, which shows that her attitude is firm.

If Davers still objected, it would undoubtedly cause a rift in the relationship between husband and wife for decades, so he hesitated.

At this time, Agenice made a smooth statement: "Your Majesty, do you think this is OK? My sister and I will not follow the army to Persia to avoid making you embarrassed. When the war goes well, we will follow the baggage fleet to..."

"It's still a bit dangerous..." Davers finally compromised in the face of his two wives' expectant and begging eyes: "Okay, I'll arrange this... But, Cristoya, you're leaving, who will be responsible for your chamber of commerce? And Agenice, who will preside over the Temple of Hera?"

"Eunice is now able to stand alone, so I'm leaving, of course she will run the chamber of commerce."

"Cynthia presides over the daily sacrifices of Hera Temple for me."

"Where are little Chris and the others? Are you willing to leave them alone?" Davers made his last effort tentatively.

Christoya said firmly, "I am not their mother, what can I bear to bear?"

Seeing the two wives' attitudes firmly, Davers lowered his head and took a sip of honey water slowly, and then said, "Let's do this... After the entire western Asia Minor is conquered, I will notify the Ministry of Military Affairs and send troops to pick you up and drop you off to Milidu. After dealing with Milidu's affairs, you two will return. Is it okay?"

"No!" Cristoya immediately objected: "If you conquer Persia this time, Agenus and I will go to Babylon with you!"

Davers was stunned: "What are you doing in Babylon?"

Agenth stammered and said nothing, Cristoya was quite straightforward: "I heard that the Persian king had many women. We were afraid that you would marry another one, so we had to keep an eye on it!"

Davers Oran: "What a random thing, how could I do such a thing that violates military law? Besides, I am so old, so I don't have that kind of thought!"

Cristoya curled her lips: "Who knows, it is said that the Persian king is so old that he married his own daughter. My sister and I can avoid you from making mistakes!"

Davers shook his head helplessly.

Although the Persians in Asia Minor received news that "Dionia declared war on Persia and formed a Greek coalition to attack Persia", they also noticed that since the people of the Greek city-states were preparing to harvest farmland that was about to harvest and did not start military mobilization, they all believed that the attack of the Greek coalition would not arrive too early, and the result was that the 10th Legion of Dioria successfully landed on the beach in the Persia region on the east coast of the Hellespont.

Of course, even if the Governor of Missia, Theopups, was prepared, he was unable to stop the landing of the Dionia army, and at most it would only cause some trouble for the 10th Legion.
