Adoris was most afraid of everything except Davers and Cynthia since he was a child, and when he saw Cynthia's uncertain face, he didn't dare to be verbose, took a big sip of wine, and then said, "Sister...... I want you to go and intercede with my mother, and ask her to help me go and tell my father to change the affiliation of my army to the First Legion! ”

"You want to go to Wolsey?!" After listening to Adoris's words, Cynthia immediately understood his intentions. These days, while treating the wounded soldiers of the First Legion, disposing of the remains of the dead, and comforting the families, the Ministry of War is also selecting reserve soldiers to be sent to Wolsey to make up for the shortage of soldiers in the First Legion.

"Isn't it true that only the First Legion is fighting in the kingdom's army now, and they are short of soldiers, so I'm idle in Turiyi now, and I can go and help your husband Patroclus." Adorys said with a seeming ease.

"Your brother-in-law doesn't need your help!" Cynthia said very simply, how could she not know that Adores had a relationship with her husband, and it was a complete excuse to say this. And this time in the war in the north, the First Army suffered heavy casualties, and even some of the middle and senior officers were killed, Cynthia was also frightened when she learned the news, praying for Patroclus every day, and even hated that she didn't have Hades' blood and couldn't provide more protection for her husband. However, Cynthia did not ask her father to transfer Patroclus back to Turiyi, because she knew that as the king's son-in-law, Patroclus's every move was a cause for attention, and it was impossible for her father to agree to her request.

Therefore, when Cynthia was worried about Patroclus, her own brother still took the initiative to ask to go to the dangerous place of Wolsey, how could she not feel a little angry, she admonished him: "Adoris, you have to learn like Croto, stay in Turriy with peace of mind, and don't let your parents worry about it!" ”

"I can't compare to little Chloe, who can be busy in the military department, and I'm 21 years old, and I can only hang out in Turiyi every day." Adonis grumbled.

"That's because your father arranged several positions for you in the Ministry of Military Affairs, but you didn't want to go!" Cynthia rebuked with hatred of iron.

"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 am best at is fighting! I can only use this to earn honor for myself, and let those who always look at me with strange eyes know that I, Adores, am not a person who lives mediocre only by relying on my father's prestige! Adorys exclaimed.

Cynthia could hear the grievances in his heart from his words, she really didn't expect that her brother, who was usually impulsive and reckless, would have such thoughts, and was a little silent for a while.

After a while, she looked at Adoris with a little more love in her eyes, and asked softly, "This is why you went to the registry not long ago and changed your name to Marcellis. Causes of Adoris? ”

"Our biological father's name must be inherited (referring to Adoris and Cynthia's biological father, Marcellis, the former consul of Amendolala), and my father knew it, and he did not object to it according to my mother." Adonis explained: "I use this name to reduce at least some unnecessary attention in the military. ”

"I hope you don't regret it in the future." Cynthia sighed. Indeed, any general or officer of the corps saw Davers on the roster. I am afraid that the name of Adoris will be shocked, because the person with this surname is the only one in the kingdom, so it is natural that he will take care of Adores doubly.

Cynthia stared at Adoris's still slightly immature face: it takes a lot of courage to abandon this great surname, which shows that Adoris did make a lot of determination!

Thinking of this, Cynthia said softly, "I will go to my mother to help you persuade." But I suggest that you have a good talk with your father so that he can understand what you really think in your heart. In any case, my father has always loved us, and he is worried about our safety, as long as he understands what you really think in your heart, I think he will have better arrangements for you. ”

Adoris was silent: Growing up, he was afraid to see Davers, perhaps because he always pretended to be his real father in his heart, and did not really regard Davers as a father, so every time he saw Davers, he always felt guilty in his heart.

Seeing that he was hesitating, Cynthia reminded him again, "Actually, you don't need to change your subordinate legions so frequently. Alas, I heard that there was a war with Carthage on the horizon, and I believe that the Second Legion to which you belong will soon be sent to the front. ”

Adores' heart moved, but his mouth said: "Who knows how long the cowardly Carthaginians will have to wait before they act." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Cynthia's personal slave girl appeared at the door of the living room, and Cynthia saw that she looked a little flustered and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The slave girl hurried over to Cynthia and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Cynthia sighed: "Adoris, news has come from the city of Turii that the Carthaginians have sent a large army to land in Sicily. ”

………………………………………

On January 1, 14 years of the Kingdom of Dionya (379 B.C.), the sea from the western tip of Sicily to Carthage was bustling with activity.

More than 300 warships divided into two teams lined up in the offshore waters on both sides of the western tip of Sicily to prevent the surprise attack of the Dionian fleet. The sea between the two fleets was filled with thousands of ships, which had been shuttling back and forth between Carthage and Liliba since the morning, transporting soldiers, horses, grain, and baggage to Sicily without stopping......

Lilibal has never been more lively and busy than it is today since its founding, with many ports crammed with ships, docks full of soldiers and unloaded goods, and roads congested with people. Fortunately, unlike Motia before, Liliba existed from the beginning as a Carthaginian military town in Sicily, so its ports and roads were built according to military standards, and even its administrator has always been a military general, not an administrative official.

In the semi-militarized city of Liliba, almost the entire city began to act at the command of its lord, and the landing of the Carthaginian army was busy in an orderly manner......

The troops were soon taken to the barracks outside the city of Lillibal, which had been built by Marco when he was the supreme military governor of Sicily and had recently been renovated by Lillibal.

This time, Monte Adno, the supreme commander of the Carthaginian army, and Hanno's son-in-law, Millefio, were at the castle lord's residence in Lililian, listening to the report of the city lord of Lililian, Semimre, on the progress of the army's landing, while tasting fine wine and food.

"Mistress Semimre." Millefio abruptly interrupted his debriefing and asked, "Haven't they come yet?" ”

Soon after Margo was removed from Sicily, Hanno quickly replaced several important Carthaginian colonial cities in Sicily with his own men, and Semimre was one of them, and he certainly knew who "they" Millefio was referring to, and he immediately replied: "I have not received any news of their arrival yet." ”

"General, they shouldn't miss their appointment, right?!" Millefio reminded.

"Don't worry, Brother Mar is still relatively trustworthy, since he said that he would send an army, he will generally not break his word. If we don't come, we will have Lord Hanno to deal with it, so we don't have to worry about it. Monteadeno said indifferently, instead focusing on the glass in his hand: "This wine tastes mellow and very pleasant, where does it come from?" ”

“…… This is the wine of Turiyi. Semimre replied a little embarrassed, he thought Montratno would be dissatisfied, but the commander in his 50s was surprised: "The Turiyi wine I drank before is not as good as this one, could it be that they have improved the winemaking process?!" ”

While speaking, he raised his wine glass again, took a sip, and after tasting the tea carefully, he sighed: "It is indeed quite different from the past!" What a pity! Now that we're at war with Dionia, I guess I can't drink such a good wine! ”

Semimre immediately said, "General, since you are so fond of drinking this wine, I still have many cans there, and I will ask the servant to send you to the barracks." ”

Montlatno did not shirk and expressed his gratitude.

Millefio saw it on the sidelines, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "General, when we defeat Dionia, when the time comes, you can directly order the Dionians to send you these wines, wouldn't it be more convenient!" ”

Monteadeno covered his long beard and laughed, "That's a great idea!" However, I heard that the king of Davos had a tough temper, and in order for him to obediently bring the wine, he had to beat Dionia completely. Dionya is a powerful kingdom, and it's going to be a long war, so we don't have to rush too much! ”

……………………………………

While Monte Adeno was sipping the wine, the "they" mentioned by Millefio were on a warship, leading a large fleet to the northeast of Sicily.

"Hasdruba, I heard that the commander of the Carthaginian army this time is Monteadeno, are you familiar with him?" Kisgow asked.

"It's just a Hanno dog." Hasdruba pouted disdainfully: "He only knows how to criticize our Magonid family in the Senate in order to curry favor with Hanno, which is why he can be the commander of the army." ”
