Chapter 232: Seeing Off the King (2)
Aviya, the other biological daughter of King Davers, sat in the subsequent Wang family carriage and did not appear in front of others, which made the Turiy people on the road feel a little regretful. Because the princess Dionia was introverted and shy and did not like to appear in public, the Turiy people didn't know much about her at the beginning, until she became the director of the zoo. Because she had to take care of animals and had contact with tourists and children who visited the zoo, everyone learned about her kindness and innocence, and thus gained the love of the people.
Cristoya, Agenus, Cynthia, Avigha, and the children took two Wang family carriages, followed by two teams of palace cavalry.
Compared with his enemy Persia, the team traveling to the Dionian royal family is very simple, but the support of the people is far beyond the Persian royal family.
"King Davers wins!!!"
"Hardice Davers' royal family wins!!!"
...
The people expressed their support and support for King Davers and their family with constant cheers, as well as their best wishes for the war that follows.
Among these more formal cheers, some personal hobbies were mixed: "May Hades bless the beautiful Princess Eunice!"
"May Hades bless the kind Princess Aviya!"
"Prince Antbris, I love you!"
...
Eunice laughed "puffed" and quipped, "Antbris, have you heard it? Be careful that I will complain to Ronia!"
"I don't know that woman at all. Maybe she is a rugby fan like you! Don't talk nonsense!" Antbres quickly defended. Ronia was his wife, the daughter of a rugby boss of Turiyi. She was cheerful and generous, loved sports, and never accepted Antbres' courtship. She was worried that she would be restrained after marrying into the royal family. Antbres persisted in pursuing it. The two did not marry until last year's Sports Meeting, making him the latest one among Davers' children to get married, which could be regarded as a matter of the Davers's worries. It was precisely because of this marriage that Antbres cherished it particularly.
"Don't worry, Ant, Eunice won't talk casually. She can't bear to lose this friend Ronya!" Apox said lightly.
"Apox, you're talking too much!" Eunice gave him a blank look in dissatisfaction. It was true that Eunice and Ronia had similar personalities and similar interests. Since Ronia married into the royal family, the two quickly became friends. In last year's football and football competition, the two often appeared together in the stands of the stadium, becoming a beautiful scenery in the game.
Davers looked around with a smile and waved to the cheering people beside the road, but the horse under his crotch did not slow down at all. Soon the traveling team arrived at the inner city pier.
The Executive Office of the Kingdom, the important officials of various departments and the senators of the Senate had been waiting here. Seeing the arrival of King Davers, they came forward in an orderly manner and bowed respectfully.
Davers rolled over and dismounted, looked at the five regents who were walking closer and said seriously: "After I go to the Eastern Mediterranean, I will ask you for the affairs of the kingdom!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, His Highness Crotokataks has outstanding abilities, we will definitely assist him with all our strength!" 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 return in triumph!" Sipoulos said earnestly.
"Your Majesty, we will do our best to ensure the logistics supply of the army. You can attack the Persians with confidence!" Anta Oris continued.
Davers nodded with a smile and patted Bagule and Adrianx's shoulders, who had not spoken, had many things arranged before, and he no longer needed to say anything more.
While smiling at the ministers and veterans who were celebrating forward, he slowly walked towards the pier.
When he walked to the parked royal double-eyed dragon boat, he only followed his family.
He stopped, his eyes swept softly across every family's face, and finally fell on Paltrowcross whom he had just called from the crowd, and said solemnly: "Paltrow, the safety of the kingdom and the safety of the royal family will be left to you!"
"Your Majesty--" As soon as Patrocros said, he saw Davers' expression unswervingly, and quickly changed his words and said, "Father, I will do my best to assist Cloto and maintain the stability of the kingdom!"
Previously, Davers asked the Ministry of Military Affairs to issue an order: to transfer Hasdruba to serve as commander of the 14th Army, follow him to Persia, and let Sextus take over as commander of the northern border of the kingdom.
Then he appointed his most trusted son-in-law Paltros as the commander of the Kingdom Reserve Corps, stationed in the Turiyi Military Camp. The most important mission of this temporary position is to mobilize reserve forces in any area to quell the rebellion.
Patroclus was unwilling to accept it at first. He wanted to participate in the massive war between Dionia and Persia, but after Davers and his detailed discussions with him and his wife Cynthia's persuasion, he finally accepted the appointment.
Davers led his army to fight in person many times before, and he had never made such a arrangement. Why did he come this time? That's because Davers believed that because Persia is far away and has a vast territory, the war will probably last for a long time. The Kingdom of Dionia almost devoted all the regular legions, and the domestic defense will be insufficient. In case of emergencies, it is difficult for the army to rescue it in time. Therefore, a most trustworthy general needs to stay in the kingdom, 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: Paltrox is still young, has made great achievements and is famous in the army. If he returns from the Persian War, his prestige in the army will be further enhanced, which will be detrimental to Crotokatax's rule over the kingdom. Even after years of careful observation, he believed that Paltrox's character is completely trustworthy, but he still has to prepare for the future to avoid cracks in the royal family and allow the family to always maintain harmony.
Davers nodded, looked at his son, the future king, and said in a deep voice: "Take good care of your two mothers and brothers and sisters. After I leave, the kingdom will be handed over to you, do it well!"
After that night of father-son conversation, Crotokataks certainly understood the true meaning of Davers' words. Feeling the heavy weight, he took a deep breath and replied with an unprecedented serious expression: "Yes, father!"
"Your Majesty, don't forget to notify Agenice and I to Milidu at that time!" At this time, Cristoya suddenly reminded loudly.
Davers stared at the charming faces of his wives and smiled gently, "You two are waiting for my good news."
"Grandpa, I want to go to Persia with you!" Christod couldn't help but say.
Davers bent down kindly: "You are still too young now. When you learn the school knowledge well, your body will grow taller and stronger. At that time, grandpa will not only take you to Persia, but also to Egypt and Greece. Do you think it's okay?"
"Okay!" Christod nodded vigorously.
Davers smiled and gently pinched his little face with his hands. Finally, under the attention of his relatives, he boarded the double-headed dragon boat.
"Your Majesty." The court clerk Heniporis, who was waiting at the entrance, bowed and former intelligence chief Aristillas.
"Your Majesty, you are coming too slowly... Ahem... our feet waiting on the boat are almost moldy!" The one who spoke was Amintas in a wheelchair, and Alexis, Phyllisius and other old people also stepped forward to salute Davers.
"Amintas, you are so old, and your temperament is still unchanged. You must know that fighting a great power like Persia is unhurried." Davers said jokingly, signaling Heniporis: "Det's the ship."
Amid cheers and farewells, the double-headed dragon ship slowly sailed away from the dock. As soon as it entered the Krati River, even louder cheers sounded around it. It turned out that the banks of the Krati River were also crowded with people, and they waved excitedly to the unique warship in the kingdom.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the people are very enthusiastic about this war!" Phyllisius said happily.
"Over the years, the Turiyi people have made great sacrifices for the kingdom. I'm afraid they hope that the soldiers of the First and Second Legion can return in triumphant success!" Davers said sighing.
As soon as he finished speaking, Amintas suddenly started to cough loudly.
Just as the two-headed dragons were sailing down the river, the soldiers of the First and Second Legion were boarding the ship at the Port of Turiyi, and at the mouth of the Clarti River, thousands of warships in the First and Second Fleets were waiting there. They were the kingdoms that were ordered to return last month. During this period, they had been traveling back and forth between the Italian Peninsula and the southern Peloponnese bay, responsible for ensuring the safety of the routes of the Legion's corps carriers in various regions of the Kingdom. The corps carriers of the First and Second Legion and the King Davers' ships were the last missions of the two fleets during this period, and of course the most important one.
A huge fleet sailed out of the Gulf of Turiyi, crossed the mouth of Adriatic Sea, passed through coastal islands such as Kekira, Kefalonia, and Zakinsus, and entered the Gulf of Mesenia.
