[Chapter 63 Carthage Sends Troops]

Apart from Davos, Adoris was most afraid of Cynthia since he was a child. Seeing Cynthia’s expression hesitant, he didn’t dare to talk any more, took a sip of wine, and said, “Sister… I want you to talk to me. Mother begged for mercy and asked her to help me to tell my father and change my army to the First Army!”

“You want to go to Wolsey?!” After hearing Adoris’ words, Cynthia immediately understood his intentions.

These days, while treating the wounded soldiers of the First Army, disposing of the remains of the deceased, and comforting their families, the Ministry of Military Affairs is also selecting reserve soldiers to be sent to Wolsey to make up for the shortage of soldiers of the First Army. Serving in the First Corps, of course, also knows something about it.

“Isn’t the first legion fighting in the kingdom’s army now, and they are in short supply. I’m free in Turui now, so I can help your husband Patroclus.” Doris said with a seemingly relaxed tone.

“Your brother-in-law doesn’t need your help!” Cynthia said simply, how could she not know that Adoris had a normal relationship with her husband, and this was a complete excuse.

And this time in the war in the north, the First Corps suffered a lot of casualties, and even some middle and senior officers were killed in the battle. Cynthia was also frightened when she heard the news. She prayed for Patroclus every day, and even hated herself for not having Hades’ bloodline. , unable to provide more protection for her husband.

However, Cynthia did not ask her father to transfer Patroclus back to Turii, because she knew that as the king’s son-in-law, Patroclus’s every move attracted attention, and it was impossible for her father to agree to her request.

So, just when Cynthia was worried about Patroclus, her own brother had to take the initiative to ask to go to the dangerous place in Wolsey, how could she not feel a little angry, she warned him: “Adoris, you Study like Croto, stay in Turii without worrying about your parents!”

“I can’t compare to little Croto, he can be busy in the Ministry of Military Affairs, and I’m 21 years old and only I can hang out in Turii every day.” Adonis complained.

“That’s because your father has arranged for you several positions in the military affairs department, but you are unwilling to go!” Cynthia reprimanded.

“It’s not that you don’t know, I have a headache when I see words and numbers. I graduated from school with great difficulty, and what I’m best at is fighting! I can only use this to win honor for myself, and let those who always use strange Those who look at me know that I, Adoris, are not someone who can only rely on the prestige of my father to live mediocrely!” Adoris exclaimed excitedly.

Cynthia could hear his inner grievance from his words. She really didn’t expect her brother, who is usually impulsive and reckless, to have such thoughts, and was silent for a while.

After a while, she looked at Adoris with a little more pity in her eyes, and asked softly, “That’s why you went to the household registration department not long ago and changed your name to Marcellis Adoris. ?”

“Our biological father’s name has to be inherited by someone (referring to the biological father of Adoris and Cynthia, Marcellis, the former consul of Amendolara),

and the father also knew it, according to the mother, He didn’t object.” Adonis explained: “I use this name to at least reduce unnecessary attention in the army.”

“I hope you don’t regret it in the future.” Cynthia sighed.

Indeed, any general or team officer who sees the name of Davos Adoris on the roster of soldiers will probably be shocked, because the person with this surname is the only one in the kingdom, so they will naturally react to the name of Davos Adoris. Doris doubled his attention.

Cynthia stared at Adoris’ slightly immature face: It takes a lot of courage to abandon this great surname, which shows that Adoris really made a great determination!

Thinking of this, Cynthia said softly: “I will go to my mother to help you persuade. But I suggest you have a good talk with your father to let him know what you really think in your heart. No matter what, my father has always loved Ours

, he is worried about our safety, as long as he understands your true inner thoughts, I think he will have better arrangements for you.”

Adoris pondered: from childhood to adulthood, he was afraid to see When he came to Davos, perhaps it was because he always had his real father in his heart, and did not really regard Davos as a father, so every time he saw Davos, he always felt guilty in his heart.

Seeing that he was hesitating, Cynthia reminded him again: “Actually, you don’t need to switch your legions so frequently. Alas, I heard that there will be a war with Carthage soon, I believe your second legion He

will be sent to the front soon.”

Adoris’s heart moved, but he said, “Who knows how long the timid Carthaginians will wait to act.” The

two chatted for a while, Cynthia’s personal slave girl Appearing at the door of the living room, Cynthia saw her expression a little flustered and asked, “What’s the matter?” The

slave girl hurried to Cynthia’s side and whispered a few words.

After Cynthia heard it, she sighed: “Adoris, news came from the city of Turii that the Carthaginians sent a large army to land in Sicily

.

” On January 1, 14 of the Asian Kingdom (379 BC), the sea area from the western end of Sicily to Carthage was very lively.

More than 300 warships were divided into two groups and lined up offshore on both sides of the western end of Sicily to prevent the surprise attack of the Dionysian fleet.

The sea between these two fleets is filled with thousands of ships, which have shuttled between Carthage and Liliba since the morning, delivering soldiers, war horses, food and grass to Sicily without stopping. Luggage…

Since the city was built, Lilibe has never been so lively and busy as it is today. Many ports are full of ships, the docks are full of soldiers who landed and unloaded items, the roads are congested, and people are full of people. .

Fortunately, Lilibe is different from the previous Motia. It existed as a Carthaginian military town in Sicily from the very beginning, so its ports and roads were built according to military standards. The chief executive has always been a military general, not an administrative officer.

In the semi-militarized city of Lilibe, almost all the people in the city began to act on the order of the city owner, busying themselves with the landing of the Carthaginian army in an orderly manner. With their efforts, problems were solved one by one. , the whole login process gradually became smoother…

The troops after the landing were soon taken to the barracks outside the city of Lilibe, which was built when Margo was the highest military commander in Sicily, and recently Lilibe repaired it again.

And this time, Monte Adenno, the supreme commander of the Carthaginian army, and Hanno’s son-in-law, Milefio, were in Lilibe’s mansion, while listening to Lilibe’s lord Samimre reporting on the progress of the army’s landing. Tasting wine and food.

“Lord Semmimre.” Milefio

suddenly interrupted his report and asked, “Have they not come yet?”

The colonial city of Carthage was replaced by his own people, and Semimre was one of them. Of course, he knew who Milefio was referring to by “they”, and he immediately replied: “I haven’t received them yet. The news of the arrival.”

“General, shouldn’t they miss their appointment?!” Milefio reminded.

“Don’t worry, Marco is quite trustworthy. Since he said he would send the army, he would not break his promise. If he doesn’t come, Mr. Hanno will take care of it, we don’t have to worry about it.” Monte Ardeno He didn’t care much, but instead focused his attention on the wine glass in his hand: “This wine has a mellow taste and is very smooth. Where does it come from?”

“…This is the wine of Turui.” He replied embarrassedly, he thought that Montratno would be dissatisfied, but the 50-year-old commander was surprised: “The Turii wine I drank before is not as good as this time, don’t they? Has there been an improvement in the winemaking process?!”

While speaking, he raised his wine glass again, took a sip, and sighed after tasting the tea carefully: “It is indeed quite different from the past! It’s a pity! Dionysus is at war, I guess such a good wine can’t be drunk!”

Samimre said immediately: “General, since you like to drink this wine so much, I still have a lot of cans in my place, and I will ask my servant to give it to you later. Take it

to the barracks.”

Montratno didn’t refuse, but thanked him repeatedly.

Milfio met by the side, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

com said half-jokingly and half-seriously: “General, when we defeat Dionysian, wouldn’t it be more convenient for you to directly order the Dionysians to bring these wines to you!”

Monte Ardeno Covering his long beard with his hands, he laughed loudly: “This is a good idea! However, I heard that King Davos has a tough temper. To get him to deliver the wine obediently, Dionysus must be beaten thoroughly. It hurts. Dionia is a powerful kingdom, and this will be a long war, so we don’t have to worry too much!

”

…

While Nuo was tasting the wine, the “they” mentioned by Millerfiore were riding on a battleship, leading a huge fleet, heading for Sicily in the northeast.

“Hasdrubal, I heard that the commander of the Carthaginian army this time is Monte Ardeno, are you familiar with him?” Kisgo asked.

“It’s just Hanno’s dog.” Hasdruba curled his lips contemptuously: “He only knows how to criticize our Margonid family indiscriminately in the senate to please Hanno, this is how he can become an army. Commander’s reason.”
