Clotokatax, who was entrusted by Davos, obviously did not have such an idea. He first walked to Leoticides, gave him a military salute, and then said earnestly: "Proso General Wusi, thank you for your meritorious service to the kingdom! My father understands your initiative to resign as commander, and I hope you don't pay too much attention to it! He also asked me to bring you a letter of his A handwritten letter."

After speaking, he took out the letter from his arms with a slightly exaggerated gesture, and slowly handed it to Leoticides.

This scene was seen in the eyes and heard in the ears of the people around, especially those army generals immediately understood one thing: although the "Prossus is the prince of Sparta" has been confirmed, he still Have not lost the respect of King Davos.

Since Agesilaus came to visit, under the connivance of some people, some news spread in the army, which made the army a little unstable. Rumors have it that Prosous will be removed from command and return to China for investigation and punishment.

Now it seems that this rumor is only half right. General Prosius still has the respect of His Majesty the King, which can at least reassure the soldiers of the First Legion.

When Leo mentioned Desmune's face, there was a slight fluctuation. He took the letter and said, "Thank you for your trust! I hope your highness will be well in the next battle!"

"The general has made outstanding achievements and is familiar with the situation in Peloponnese. I still have a lot of things to ask the general for advice!" Clotokatax said sincerely.

"Okay." Leoticides nodded politely.

Clotokatax turned to the commander of the Fourth Army and said earnestly: "Uncle Olivers, this is my first time as a commander, and I hope I can get your help!"

After Agesilaus' visit, Olivers saw a glimmer of hope that he would take over as commander, but when the envoy from the Ministry of War arrived in Messenia ahead of the convoy to announce the new appointment, he and Davos The legion commander, who was a friend in need, immediately understood the intention of His Majesty the King, and quickly adjusted his mentality. At this moment, he said with a smile: "Please rest assured, His Royal Highness Kloto, I will fully assist you!"

"Thank you, Uncle Olivers!" After Clotokatax expressed his gratitude, he turned to the commander of the Sixth Army: "Commander of Trotiras, it's a pleasure to fight alongside you—"

Before Clotokatax could finish speaking, Trotiras quickly gave a military salute and said loudly: "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will strictly abide by the military law and carry out your orders!"

Although Trotiras was also one of Menon's mercenary soldiers,

But he was not in the company that Davos belonged to, so he did not have a deep friendship with Davos during their time in Persia like Hiros, Matonis, and Olivers did. However, he himself is very content. He believes that compared to those comrades who died, maimed and retired, being able to have the current status is the greatest blessing given to him by Hades, even when Giorgris retired and was in military affairs. When the Ministry wanted to promote him to the commander of the Fifth Army, he also refused and stayed in the Celestial Court. Now, he doesn't have many ideas about the commander's post. Even if the commander is Clotokatax, who has no military experience, he firmly believes that King Davos, who has led them to countless victories, is definitely not This appointment was made indiscriminately.

With the promise of the two legion commanders in the expeditionary army, it would be much easier for Crotokatax to take over the army next, and he walked towards Ticias in a happy mood.

Ticias saw Clotokatax approaching, and immediately bowed respectfully: "Your Highness!"

Clotokatax quickly supported him: "Sir Ticias, you've worked hard! The king asked me to give him a message, which is his original words, 'After you arrive in Messenia, you must go Meet Ticias and tell him that he has done a good job in the mission assigned by the kingdom! I hope he will lead other Dionysian citizens to continue their efforts to make Mesenia develop faster and better, so that it will not only To be Dionysian's most steadfast ally in Greece, and a strong ally! If this is done, the kingdom will not forget their contribution!'..."

Ticias turned around and said excitedly to everyone: "Did you all hear it, this is His Majesty's affirmation of our achievements! His Majesty also encouraged us to build Messenia better!"

"King Dionysius is victorious!!" The members of the original Dionysian citizens shouted excitedly, which also attracted those local Mesenian members to respond.

Just as the Mesenian deputies headed by Ticias were enthusiastically reporting the situation in Mesenia to Clotokatax, Olivers and Trotiras also shared with Ketisus and Proto. Ruth, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Corps, Kochius, and the commander of the 7th Corps, Tegetinos, met.

"Plintors, I will ask you more to assist His Royal Highness in handling military affairs." Although Plintors is the chief of staff, he is higher in rank than Olivers, but Olivers is a senior in the army. So there is a didactic tone in the words.

Printols didn't seem to be displeased with this, but said humbly: "No, Lord Olivers, I can't do it alone. It needs all of us to discuss and work together to get the final result. Victory in this expedition to Greece!"

Olivers was stunned for a moment, his face was slightly red. The Ministry of Military Affairs had sent a new appointment. After he learned that Chief of Staff Plintors had become the temporary staff officer of the army, he understood that it was obviously His Majesty who wanted him to serve as the chief of staff for Klotoka. Tux escorted him, and he was inevitably jealous. But this senior official of the Kingdom's Military Affairs Department, who was a dozen years younger than him, not only took the initiative to discuss with everyone, but also showed respect according to the requirements of military law, which made Olivers seem too stingy.

Just when he was still hesitating whether to make up for it or not, he heard Printols say again: "His Royal Highness is inexperienced in the military, but he is very intelligent, calm-headed, and blessed by Hades, and has the ability to become a military leader. The talent of an excellent commander. And before leaving, His Majesty has repeatedly asked me to provide various suggestions to His Highness, and even criticize and correct the orders he is about to issue, but it is best not to exercise command in his place!"

Olivers froze in his heart, was silent for a moment, glanced at Plintos, and said to the person behind him: "Ctisus, I didn't expect that you would be the one who took over as the commander of the First Army!"

"I didn't expect that I had already retired, but I was called back by the Military Affairs Office and became the commander of the first army! Lord Olivers, you know, I don't want to be the commander of this army, there are too many troubles. , fortunately it is only temporary." Ketisus spread his hands, with a teasing smile: "But I am still very happy to be the commander of the first army, ahead of you."

The reason why Ctisus dares to joke like this is because he has a good relationship with Olivers. In his early years, he belonged to Matonis. He was lazy by nature, which made the strict Matonis very troublesome, and always opposed Matonis. Olivers, from time to time, quietly sends people to encourage Ctisus to continue doing this...

Olivers really laughed and scolded: "Okay, Ctisus, a temporary First Corps commander will let your tail go to the sky! With your retired body, can you lead the First Corps well? "

"You are two years older than me, you can, of course I can." Ketisus retorted.

"You kid...you're stubborn now, wait for me to catch up with you tonight and see if I don't overwhelm you!" Olivers scolded with a smile.

Ctisus stopped talking because he couldn't drink enough.

"Lord Olivers, is there me at the banquet tonight?!" The seventh army commander Tigertinos interjected.

In the Western Mediterranean War, Tiger Delos led the 9th Army to conquer the entire Sardinia Island. Although the 3rd Fleet played a great role in this, Tiger Delos still contributed a lot, so after the war Davos had planned to transfer Tiger Delos to the Military Department to replace the already aged Hieronymus as the military training officer, but he refused. He preferred to stay in the army, for which Davos had no choice but to Promote him as far as possible to a higher legion (according to the military tradition of the kingdom, the higher the position of the legion commander in the army, the higher the status of the army, of course, this does not mean that the combat effectiveness of the legion is also higher), It was at this time that Zantiparis, the commander of the Seventh Army, died of illness and was succeeded by Tigderosje.

Soon after, Giorgris was persuaded by Davos to serve as quartermaster, vacating the position of commander of the Fifth Legion. The Ministry of Military Affairs issued a document again, asking Tiger Tinos to replace him, but he refused. He said: I just arrived in Lokrie, and the soldiers were transferred before they were fully recognized. It was like a deserter. I'll talk about it after I take the commander of the Seventh Corps well.

In the end, the Ministry of Military Affairs had no choice but to make Meli Shanda, the former commander of the Tenth Army, as the commander of the Fifth Army.

"Of course there is you, how could it be without your wine barrel!" Olivers laughed, he turned to Trotiras again and said: "This time is really rare, the four army commanders gathered in Messenia are all The comrades who were in Persia back then, let the four of us have dinner and drink together tonight, and have a good chat about the past!"

Trotiras glanced at Clotokatax who was chatting with Ticias not far away, and said softly: "It's okay to have dinner, but it's best not to drink, although the army did not fight during this time, but we It is still in a state of war, drinking is prohibited, not to mention that when His Royal Highness came, several of our army commanders gathered to drink, I am afraid——”
