Chapter 246 The Price of Victory

There were several bloody wounds on Seclian's broad back. What attracted Midolades' most attention was that his tanned skin, which had been exposed to wind and sun for many years, was so white that it was so heart-wrenching.

"How is his condition?" Midorades asked the doctor next to him who was dispensing medicine with concern.

The doctor looked up at him, hesitated for a moment before whispering in a serious expression: "...Not very good. He was caught in many arrows, bleeding too much, and soaked in the sea for too long..."

Midolades was shocked and wanted to ask again, but he heard a weak voice in his ears: "...Mido... are you here... How is the battle?"

Midolades looked at him in search of the voice, but saw that Seclian, who had not moved before, was opening his godless eyes and turning his head to look at him.

"Doctor, he...he's awake!" Midolades said happily.

"Not long after he came here, he woke up and kept asking about the situation of the naval battle..." The doctor sighed and said, "Go and tell him quickly, so that he would not be worried about this and affect his recovery."

Midolades walked to the head of the bed, squatted down, thought for a while, and then half-kneeled on the ground, so that he and Seclien could save effort when talking.

But before he could speak, Seclian smiled first: "...It's not easy. It can make the proud second fleet commander kneel down. It seems that I will have to be injured in the future..."

Midolades looked at his extremely dry lips and said in a deep voice: "If I were you, calm down and listen carefully now, so that your body can recover faster."

Seclien rolled his eyelids and stopped talking.

Midolades then said in a deep voice: "According to the rough statistics after the war, we sank more than 160 warships and captured nearly 350. The Persian fleet suffered heavy losses. Of course, we also paid a considerable price. A total of 218 warships were sunk... Thanks to you leading the small number of warships to hold the near-shore, which won us time and dragged down the enemy's physical strength and morale, we will win more easily. Now the Persian fleet has been completely defeated, and the dominance of the entire Near East waters will be controlled by us!"

Secolian showed a relieved expression: "...We finally did not disappoint His Majesty's expectations... It's a pity that I didn't see the result of this great naval battle with my own eyes... Alas, I think Secolian has always been accustomed to attacking... I suffered failure when I first conducted a defensive battle... I am still inferior to you in this regard..."

Midolades said seriously: "I just said that it is precisely because you face the Persian fleet that is several times more than you, and you resolutely choose to stick to it, that we have won a great victory. This brilliant victory was completed under your command! Because of this victory, the powerful Dionian fleet will never have any chance of defense from now on!"

Seclian looked at his colleague blankly. After a while, a look of fear appeared on his pale face: "Mido, am I old?...I was fighting with the Syracuse Navy back then... My ship was also sunk...I fell into the sea and was also hit by an arrow on my shoulder... But I only had a rest for more than ten days... But now...but now... I can move above my neck...I...I...I can't feel the existence of my hands and feet at all..."

When Midolades heard this, he wanted to comfort him, but he was anxious but didn't know how to say it. However, he heard the doctor behind him reminding him: "This general, I want to apply medicine to the patient. In order not to affect the treatment, please go back first and come to visit him later."

"You have a good rest and you will get better!" Midolades had no choice but to stand up, grab Seclien's hand and hold it hard, wanting to encourage him, but the coldness of the other party's palm made him frightened.

Seclian couldn't look at him, so he could only whisper: "Mido... the fleet will ask you... take good care of your brothers..."

"Don't worry, I will!" Midorades responded solemnly.

When he left the bed and saw the doctor and nurse surrounding him and completely obscuring Seclian's figure, an unspeakable feeling of sorrow rose in his heart...

……………………………………………………………………

Most of the Dionian troops landed in Egypt have moved to the territory of Pelameses and Daffine, and only the First Legion is still stationed in Memphis because King Davers is still here.

As the commander of the entire army, Davers should have stayed with the large army. He used to do this, but this time, the Kingdom of Dionys had just annexed Egypt. Although Asistes had appointed him to govern Egypt, the King of Dionys would undoubtedly make the handling of various government affairs smoother and more conducive to the smooth transition of Egypt. Therefore, Davers seized the interval of this war and helped Asistes solve some difficult problems. At the same time, he appointed Alexis to Duffinai to temporarily control the army for him, and asked Philicius, Epitianis and others to assist him in managing military affairs, planning and preparing for the implementation of the raid on Cyprus Island. This group of old men who had retired and who had just followed him to Persia were once again given heavy responsibility.

After the military operation raided Cyprus began, waiting for the result was a difficult process, especially for such a major military operation, so Davers did not sleep well these days.

On this day, at the strong request of Henipolis, Davers took a walk and relax in the garden after dinner.

The garden of the Talib Pharaoh Palace is vast, and a large artificial lake was dug in the center, and the Nile River water was introduced. Various aquatic plants such as lotus and lotus were planted in the lake, and various wild ducks, geese with cut-off wings were also planted, and even rare hippos were planted... and various rare trees and flowers and plants were planted around the artificial lake, and some ostrichs were even stocked.

It is spring, and the garden is full of flowers, colorful and colorful, birds and insects are chirping, and it is extremely lively. Strolling on the flat road by the lake, breathing in the moist air with the fragrance of plants and trees, it makes people feel relaxed and happy and get rid of all the worries.

Davers couldn't help but sigh, "This is such a good place! We should let Christoya, Agenice and the others come here to stay well for a while!"
