As soon as Avia, who was still in a daze before, heard this, she immediately took a few bites of the meat bun, and asked Agnes to hurriedly say, "Don't worry, eat slowly, be careful of scalding!" ”

"Little Bout, how did your brother be, he wanted to cheat on his sister's breakfast." Cynthia criticized with a smile.

Facing Cynthia, Briantes did not refute, but bowed his head and did not speak.

……

Davers watched all this with a smile on his face, and this time of the day for breakfast and dinner was his most relaxed.

"Cynthia, after breakfast in a while, follow me to the bank at the port and listen to their financial report for the first half of the year." Christoya said as she thrust her mouth with a cloth towel. Although Asuna left, Cynthia grew up, and she was her own family and more knowledgeable, and in recent years, under the intentional cultivation of Christoya, she has become her right-hand man.

"Yes, Mother." Cynthia replied.

"Ah......" When Avia heard this, she hurriedly said, "I'm going with Sister Cynthia." "Of these children, Avia is not yet old enough to go to school and usually stays at home, and Christoya and Egnes have their own things to do, and it is Cynthia who takes her more, so she is very clingy to Cynthia. And Molina was too fierce when she woke her up today, and she didn't want to be left alone at home.

Cynthia understood her psychology a little, so she said to Christoya, "Mother, shall I take Avia with me?" ”

Christoya looked at Avia.

Avia's eyes widened and she looked pitifully at her other mother.

"You have to be obedient when you get there, and you are not allowed to shout." For Avia, Christoya is actually very relieved, because the child seems very quiet everywhere he goes.

"Hmm!" Avia nodded vigorously.

Agnes thanked Christia.

"Avia, you can't do without your eldest sister so much, what will you do when your eldest sister gets married?" Eunice said.

When Avia heard this, her eyes immediately turned slightly red.

"Avia will be able to visit her sister often, and she will come back often, and she won't leave our ......," said Egnes, comforting her daughter.

At the same time, Klotocatax coughed and sprayed milk on the table.

"I was choked on water just now." Klotockataks busily explained.

Christoya immediately threw a vague look at Davers.

Davers was relieved in his heart, he had been observing since he entered the restaurant, except for the gaffe just now, Davers basically did not notice that the child showed any abnormality, which just showed that his self-control was very strong, which made Davers proud.

"Well, Chloe, you're about to turn 16 years old, and you're going to undergo formal military training, and I'm going to customize a set of heavy infantry equipment for you, do you have any requirements?" Davers asked.

"Doesn't the Ionian military law stipulate that the weapons and equipment of the regiments owned by citizens must meet the requirements, and that the size, color, and pattern may not be arbitrarily modified at their own discretion?" Klotocatax asked, confused.

"That means that the appearance, size, and color of the weapons and equipment should be consistent with the other soldiers of the legion, but in places where you can't see them, you can add or modify some things to enhance their performance and increase the comfort of use, such as adding cloth pads to the helmet, which can quickly absorb sweat and slow down the impact of external forces on the head, and for example, reducing the amount of linen glue on the linen cuirass and sewing hippopotamus leather on the lining, so as to ensure that the thickness is consistent, but its protective ability is greatly increased......" Davers explained to his son in detail some tips for customizing weapons and equipment.

Klotocatax listened carefully for a while, and said without hesitation: "Father, don't be so troublesome, you just need to customize it according to the rules, and let my armor, shield, and spear be the same as those of other citizens." ”

"Chloe, you should—" Christoya listened as she listened, hurried to persuade.

Davers was relieved and preemptively said, "Kid, you're doing the right thing!" Only if you are not special, can you get along with your teammates, your squad can quickly form a whole, and when fighting, your comrades will not hesitate to resist the enemy's spears and spears for you in times of crisis......"

Klotocatax listened carefully to his father's teachings.

Seeing this, Christoya couldn't persuade anymore.

"Dad, I also want to customize a set of shield spears like my second brother!" Briantes exclaimed.

"Didn't Dad make you a set?"

"But it's wood—"

"Because you're too young to hold a real iron shield spear. Can you lift the pair of sledgehammers that Dad put in the courtyard? ”

Briantes shook his head.

"When you reach the age of your brother Chloe, you'll have enough strength to lift it, and then Dad will customize a real shield spear for you, okay?" Davos patiently persuaded the child.

"Good!"

"Bout, do you want to be a soldier or a general who commands soldiers in the future?" Davers continued.

"Of course it's the general, how majestic that is!"

"Then you have to study hard in school now. Only when you learn to read can you understand the orders given by the commander; Only after learning arithmetic can you know how to arrange your troops; If you learn to debate, you will be able to convince your soldiers to follow your orders. So when you get to school, you must study hard, don't play around, and you will definitely be able to become a general in the future, okay? Davers also took the opportunity to patiently persuade Briantes, although he was still young, but he was too energetic and bold, and went to school for half a year, disturbing the peace of his class, and the teacher had already reacted to Christoya several times.

Briantes nodded in understanding.

"Apo, don't patronize and snicker, you have to help your brother more, if he doesn't do well in the final school tests, I'm going to settle accounts with you!" Davers said seriously.

"Huh?!" Apox looked confused, but the corners of his mouth were still stained with oil stains and scum, and his appearance was quite funny, which immediately caused the brothers and sisters to laugh.

………………………………

After breakfast, Christoya took Cynthia, and Cynthia took Avia, and went to the port in a carriage. Egnes, on the other hand, rode in another carriage to the temple of Hera in the city of Turi.

Croto Catatas and Apox, Eunice, and Briantes, escorted by guards and slaves, made their way to the Transriver Delta in the city of Turiyi. However, when they get there, the younger siblings go to the Turiyi school, while Croto Katat has to go their separate ways to the Dionian school.

After seeing off his wife and children, Davers, under the protection of the palace guards, went to the Dionian Senate.

When the Dionian Senate was built more than a decade ago, it was only the highest authority of the Dionians, but today it is the place where the most powerful kingdom represents the power of the Greek power in the entire western Mediterranean. Of course, the later construction of the Dionian palace took away part of its glory.

When the Senate was built, its magnificent appearance was amazing, but it also made outsiders feel amused: a newly formed alliance of less than two or three cities actually built a large council hall that was not commensurate with its strength!

No one dares to say such strange things now, but laments the foresight of King Davers.

While the realm was expanding, the number of Dionian Elders was not always growing. After the Polyxis case, as well as the losses of the war in South Italy, the number of senators also dropped sharply, and even when the meeting was held, there were only a few people in the huge hall, and everyone was either on the battlefield or shouldering heavy responsibilities, busy with stabilizing the domestic order...... It was one of the most difficult times for Dionia, and it was also a time when the senators played an important role, and in the end, Dioonia survived and ushered in another great development of the kingdom.

Led by Laos, the allied city-states of Trina, Castron, Crotone, Coronia, Heraclia, and Metapontum were successively incorporated into the kingdom; The three former Allied city-states of Lockry, Medma, and Hibernian were forced to join the kingdom; Cilitin, Enona, and Kopsa were the territories occupied by Dionia; Naxos, Catanay, Sikuli, and Tauromegnan also became part of the kingdom.

In the decade that followed, the kingdom sought to restore the population, agriculture, and trade of the newly acquired land, and declared war on the Meshapi and Puchetti on the grounds that they had broken the agreement and attacked the free city of Tarantum in Dionia. In the Battle of Brindisi, Davers led five legions and two cavalry legions to defeat the Mappu coalition. Taking advantage of the heavy losses of these two fierce races, the Kingdom of Dioonia began to carry out an annual planned and systematic cannibalization operation.

Until the beginning of the previous year, there were no more independent towns in the two districts of Mesapi and Puchetti. This also made the large hall of the Senate of Ionia no longer so empty, and the number of senators exceeded 200, occupying 1/5 of all seats in the venue, so maintaining the normal order of the Senate during the meeting became an important task of the Supreme Ombudsman and his subordinates.

"The king has arrived!" With a shout from the orderly, the originally noisy venue suddenly began to quiet.

After Dionya was transformed from a confederacy into a kingdom, the biggest difference between the Great Council and the previous ones was that there was a cowhide chair in the center of the semi-circular Senate that surrounded the chairs of the senators, which was the seat of the King of Dionia. Behind the wooden chairs there is a large door, which is the passage for King Davers to enter and exit.

Four heavily armed palace guards, armed with shields and spears, entered the hall in orderly steps, standing on either side of the front of the leather chairs.

Then Davers, dressed in white and embroidered with black patterns, wearing a crown made of gold in the shape of willow branches and leaves (Hades is symbolized by the poplar tree), and holding a half-man-high gold scepter, entered the venue with a calm step.
