Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1156
[Chapter 105 Henepolis’s]
“Where is he now?” Davers asked with interest.
“The year before last, he had retired and returned to Amendolara, but he was a restless man, and he applied to the Ministry of Military Affairs to be a military training officer in Amendolara…”
“Zantiparis can still lead a legion in his 60s. Killing enemies and making contributions to the kingdom, Ketisus is younger than him, I think his performance should be just as good, but…” Davos asked with some uncertainty: “He has refused to be the army commander many times. Will you agree this time?”
“Your Majesty, this time is different from the previous ones. The First Legion does not have a Legion Commander when it may face a battle at any time. This is actually a big crisis for the First Legion. As a veteran of the First Legion, Ketisus will never stand by and watch, let alone this is a temporary succession, I believe he should not refuse!” Alexis said firmly.
“Okay, that’s him!” Davos agreed very simply, and then asked: “What about the candidate to replace Prosous?”
Alexis said hesitantly: “What does your majesty think of Matonis? ”
He is a strong general, and it is no problem to charge into battle, but he lacks the experience of commanding multiple corps operations, and the political environment in Greece is complicated…”
Davos said it very euphemistically, but Alexis understood it, and he continued. Said: “How about Olivers?”
“Olivers is really flexible, but he also lacks the experience of commanding multiple corps operations, and he is sometimes not decisive at critical times, and now the army is facing Spartans…” Dai Firth said it in the same euphemism.
“And what about Lizaru?”
“You forgot that I specifically said last time not to send non-Greek citizens into battle, let alone the commander-in-chief of the First Army.”
“Your Majesty, I was negligent! Then… Hiros how?”
“How could Hiros suddenly abandon the important task of the chief executive of the Turii region and go to the Peloponnesus to lead the army to fight, not to mention that he has been away from the front-line battle for many years, I am afraid that he is a little rusty with commanding operations… Not only him , and Caps, too.” Davos was a little dissatisfied with the candidates he mentioned, and couldn’t help but say, “What do you think of Patroclus?”
Alexis was already prepared, and he responded immediately. Said: “Patroclus is indeed a more suitable candidate, but he is currently based in the Po River region, and he has to fight against the Agulians at any time, and also ensure the stability of the Po River region, it is really not appropriate to transfer him at this time… … Sextus is the same in the Iberian region, and although Karsidis is also very capable, he also lacks the experience of commanding multiple legions…”
Davos looked at him and
spoke a little more: “With so many generals in the kingdom, can’t you find a suitable candidate?!”
“Your Majesty, any of the generals mentioned above can be the commander-in-chief of an army, just because it is the first expedition to Greece, in order to improve the It’s good to show the strength of the kingdom to our mother country, our requirements are higher.” Alexis also persuaded in a tactful tone, he paused, and then said with a smile on his face: “Your Majesty, I thought of a The right person should be able to meet your requirements!”
“Oh, you said.”
“Printos.” Alexis said firmly: “Although he is now the chief of staff, he once served as the first The commander of the 14th Army Corps, and he also commanded many corps during the Western Mediterranean War and performed well. His Majesty should know better than me the military exploits he has made.”
“But he is now the chief of staff, and his military affairs are heavy-”
” It can be temporarily taken over by Thormid or Philisius.”
“Well…” Davos stroked his chin and said in a deep voice, “After I discuss with Plintos in person and listen to his wishes , let’s make a decision.”
After watching Alexis walk out of the conference hall, Davos said softly with some emotion: “Many old people in the Military Affairs Department are reluctant to give young people more opportunities, and it seems that even Alexis is no exception. Ah.”
At this time, Henepolis said, “Your Majesty, I think Sir Alexis and Sir Printoles have a very close relationship.”
Hearing this, Davos was silent for a moment, then He said slowly: “The two have been friends for many years.”
“Your Majesty.” Henipolis looked at Davos and said softly with the courage, “I also have a suitable candidate that I would like to recommend to you.
” Oh? Do you also have a choice?” Davos was interested and said with a smile: “Tell me about it.”
“I think Prince Clotokataxus is suitable for the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary army.”
The candidate named by Henipolis To Davos’s surprise, he looked at Henepolis, but thought in his heart: It didn’t take long for his son to return to Turii, and he had no contact with Henepolis. Could this be just Henepolis himself? idea?
Davos asked tentatively: “Kloto rarely fights to kill the enemy, and he has no experience in commanding the army. How can he be the commander?! This is a war of life and death, not a game!”
“His Royal Highness Kloto did not With experience, Printoles can help him. Your Majesty, didn’t you say before that when you returned from Rome to adjust His Royal Highness Cloto, you wanted him to take on more important tasks! His Royal Highness Cloto is your heir, and in the future The king of Dionia, although you can’t win every battle on the battlefield like you, at least you must have a certain influence on the army, otherwise you will face decisions like Alexis and Amintas in the future. A life-and-death military general, can he calmly refute their suggestions and put forward his own opinions?” Henipolis said earnestly.
Davos stared at him for a long time, and sighed softly: “Only you can think of me like this in the entire kingdom!”

The engineers of the company designed according to the topography of the entire hill, and then Cristoia paid a huge amount of money to hire a large construction team to build multiple mansions on the hill according to the drawings.
The hill of King’s Hill is flat, and the top of the hill and the mountainside are suitable for building a large number of houses. It is only because of Davos’ noble status that there is only one mansion in the entire hill.
Because of the sufficient funds, after only half a year, there were several more mansions on the hill.

Davers also asked to try to eat together as a family in the evening.

“…The game is almost over, 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, three meters is not that far, isn’t it?” Antebris asked the children surrounding him them.
“Yes!!” Several older children scrambled to answer, and the younger ones also shouted together.
“But—” Antebris stroked his hands and said with a serious expression: “The opponent’s players are lined up in a dense wall, blocking us, and there is no space to pass through. What should we do?! The referee blew. After the whistle, the game started. Our quarterback made a pass to the left winger. After diverting the opponent’s attention, he quickly handed the football to the player next to him, the player who took the ball. It’s me!” The
children exclaimed in surprise.
“Time was running out. I held the ball, bowed my head, and arched forward with the help of my teammates. The opponent’s players tried desperately to block, and even several people pressed on me. I used all my strength, Carrying them, just looking forward to arching… I have feet in front of me, I can’t see where the end line is at all, I feel that the time is very long… Suddenly I heard a whistle, we have a touchdown! The game is over, we The Turii Rugby Team won the Kingdom Rugby Finals, and I, your uncle, became the best player in this final!”
“Wow! Uncle is amazing!!…” In the eyes of the children admiring In the middle, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Antebris looked complacent.
“Isn’t it just that you had such an excellent performance in the final last year, look at you, you are bragging every day!” Eunice couldn’t help but said: “I always feel that the reason why you were able to make it through in the end is because Your identity makes Udier’s players dare not hurt you-”
“You are a desecration of the sacred Rugby Finals!” Ante Briston flushed with anger and stood up abruptly: “Especially Niss, you’re talking nonsense—”
“Okay!” Cristoia slapped the table hard and shouted, “Both of you, be quiet for me! You’re both so old and quarreling as soon as you meet each other. And don’t set a good example for the children!”
“She said it first—”
“You said it!” Cristoia roared again.
Antebris had to shut his mouth aggrieved.
