After lunch with Stiflos, Patroclus and Stiflos ran to the Temple of Athena, not far from the school.

This temple was built by the people here to thank Athens for their great help in rebuilding the city of Turiyi (the original patron god of Turiyi was Apollo). After the end of the Peloponnese War, Turiyi forcibly cut off his relationship with Athens and expelled Turiyi from Athens, there were many fewer people coming here to pray, and now there are only a few.

Children like to play rugby and football games in the flat and open small square in front of the temple. In these sports, Paltrowros is a little star because at the age of 13, he is far superior to other children in terms of strength, speed, and agility, and everyone loves to be with him.

But in the past few days, he and Stiflos couldn't get interested in playing, and the two children lay on the wall of the temple and threw stones at the Koseni River bored.

"Styfros, I haven't seen my father for almost two months. Let me tell you, this is the first time I have been separated from my father for so long since I was a child. I don't know how he is now..." Paltrowcross stared blankly at the rushing river, and said with some concern and a little complaining: "Last time. When their First Legion passed by Turiy, Lord Davers didn't let them go home to see it! They walked so fast that I tried my best to chase after class, but I didn't catch up..."

Steflos smiled carelessly and said, "I heard from my father that the requirements for being a soldier in the army are very strict, much stricter than the requirements of our school. If you violate it, you will be spanked. Your father is afraid of being spanked, so of course he dare not come to see you!"

Patrochros glared at him: "I don't think you're worried about your father."

Steflos stopped throwing stones into the river and reminded loudly: "I told you that Amintas is not my biological father! But... he is very kind to me and my mother..."

Stiflos turned his head and thought for a while, and said, "He often told me the story of his battle with the great consul Davers when he was in Persia. He is a hero, I like him very much, and I believe he will be fine! Because the battle commanded by the great consul Davers never failed!"

His optimism infected Patrochross: "You are right, the Legion of Dionia is invincible!"

At this time, a child ran into the temple excitedly: "Good news! Good news!..."

"Procles, what good news makes you so happy?!" The children stopped playing and looked at him.

"Cheer, classmates! The Third Legion, led by my father, eliminated the invading Picoses!" Prochles shouted excitedly.

"Is this true?" Paltrowros asked hurriedly.

"Of course it's true!" Prochles raised his head: "If you don't believe me, go to Turiyi City, the whole city is cheering!"

"No one doubts this victory, but the victory mainly comes from the command of Consul Davers." Seeing Prochles' extremely excited look, Stevelos remembered that his adoptive father had no news yet, and he couldn't help but snatch it.

Prochles was speechless for a moment and stared at Stiflos fiercely, and couldn't help but shout, "No matter what, it was my father who was commanding the troops in Grummentum, and what is your father doing now?!"

Now it was Stiflos' turn to be speechless.

Just as the two of them were fighting, the other children were already cheering: "It's great, victory!"

"Dionia wins!"

"The army wins thousands!"

...

The cheering children began to line up according to the military movements taught by the instructor and taught, playing the "triumphant" game. Proklus and Stiflos were pulled into the team by Patroc Ross. But soon, the two argued about who was the flagship...

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

At the same time, in the Turiyi Senate, the Senate was discussing the affairs of the Dionian Union.

The rotating chairman Mariji took out a scroll of paper and said, "The Chief Executive of Crimea, Lord Scombras, sent a document, saying that he had thought of many ways, but there were still many people in Crimea who were unwilling to subscribe for wheat bonds. So far, the bonds allocated to several other cities have been sold out, including Asprostum. Only Crimea-" Mariji increased the volume: "Originally, the fewest allocated to it, but not even half of the share was completed! Do you see if you brought the remaining bonds back and handed them to Castellon? Amicles has sent someone to say several times, 'Casellon's citizens are eager to subscribe to the bonds we issued!'"

"agree!"

"I have no objection!"

"Borrowing 100 kilograms of wheat and paying 115 kilograms in a year is such a huge profit! Dionia does not take up a slight benefit of the citizens. Why do so many people in Crimesa do not want to subscribe? We should think about the reasons!" Kunogorata reminded everyone.

As soon as these words were spoken, most of the elders turned their attention to Anta Oris.

He looked quite embarrassed, and he coughed a few times, stood up and said, "Sir, I... I think there are several reasons here... First of all, Crimesa was the last to join the Dionian League, and it has only been half a year since then! The most important thing is that it is different from Asprestum..." Speaking of this, he stabilized his emotions, cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "Although it is uncomfortable to be honest, it is a fact. The outbreak of the Croto Civil War was not initiated by the Dionians, but many Crimesa people believe that Dionia should bear certain responsibilities. Crimesa died many people in the war with Dionians. Half a year is not enough to resolve the resentment in their hearts. With resentment, it is naturally impossible to have complete trust in Dionians..."

Anta Oris's words caused a brief silence.

After a while, Cornerus said in a deep voice: "The war with Crotone was inevitable. Although Crimesa has become a part of Dionia, it seems that we need to make more efforts to resolve the grief in the hearts of the Crimesa people. I also hope that the three adults, Anta Oris, Oriquepus and Puleades, can provide more help!"

"Whether as a member of the Senate or as a Crimesa, this is what we should do!" Oriquepus said firmly: "I believe that it won't take long for the Crimesa people to be grateful and proud of being a Dionyan citizen!"

Orikpus's words were unanimously recognized by the elders.

At this time, Polyx stood up and said, "Dear veterans, I just talked about the issue of wheat bonds. It reminds me of Lord Melsis once said, 'The batch of military rations exchanged from the people can at most maintain the use of the team that Dionia went to fight for more than two months'. Am I right? Lord Melsis."

Although Melsis hated Polyxis, he had to nod and said, "Yes, I said it. But--"

"Thank you!" Polyxis interrupted Melsis loudly and said quickly: "Even if we have seized Bissinia, it is probably difficult for Bruti to conquer it in just two months if a population of more than 100,000 people is going to conquer it in just two months! More importantly, when we concentrate our efforts against the Brutis, the Lukaris in the north are also taking the opportunity to make trouble. Now, the Senate is seriously injured... well... the adults are seriously injured, and they don't know what life and death are there. Is there any good way for Picosis to deal with the massive attack on Grummentum?!" When Polyxis said this, he placed his sympathetic eyes on Vesbah and Hemon. Although he hated these "barbarians who were infiltrated into the Senate", he needed these staunch supporters of Davers to doubt the young man.

"No! Because all the soldiers are fighting against the Brutis! If this continues, the Picoses have captured Grummentum and attacked our Niutum! At that time, our Dionys alliance will be attacked on both sides, and the army will face the dilemma of tight military rations. A great disaster will come to Dionys... Dear sirs, please think carefully, this terrible situation is very likely to occur!" Polyxies shouted loudly with heartache.

A few elders changed their faces, while others were thinking.

When Mariji saw this scene in front, he secretly hated: This damn Polyxis had only been quiet for a few days and came out to make trouble again!

Davers designed the lure of the Lucanians. In order to keep it a secret, only Avinogis, Sesta, Hironimus and the main officer of the Third Legion knew about it. The uninformed Marigi anxiously shook his eyes at the back row of Presinas, hoping that he could stand up and refute Polyxis.

"We are so warlike! We just repelled Crotone and soon attacked Grummentum. A few days after helping Tarantum, we launched another war against the Brutis... Our crazy expansion caused uneasiness among the surrounding forces, and they will join forces to deal with us! Picossis's attack is just a harbinger. For the long-term safety of Dionia, we should consider it carefully and formulate some bills to restrict this practice of starting war at will!"

Polyxis did not mention Davers in his words, but anyone could hear that this was obviously directed at Davers, and the Grand Council suddenly became very quiet.

At this time, with a "bang", the sound of the door being pushed open was particularly clear in the quiet enclosed space.

Phelisius quickly walked into the venue with an excited look on his face.

Marigi's heart moved, broke the silence and said, "Mr. Philicius, you are late!"
