Chapter 142 Gossip Is Commonplace

"Mom, I saw Dad, he is so majestic!" After little Chloe went to hug his Agnes mother, he ran to Cristoia excitedly.

"Really!" Kristoia looked at her son and smiled softly: "Then do you want to be a good general like your father?"

"Think!" Little Chloe nodded seriously.

"I will be like my father in the future, and be a brave general!" Adoris also shouted.

Cristoia smiled and hugged the two of them in her arms, and said, "If you want to grow up to be a general, you need to study hard in school and take part in training seriously from now on, so that you can become a general in the future. Admiral, do you know?"

"I will," said Adoris at once.

"I will too!" Little Chloe imitated his brother.

"Did your father go back to the military camp after winning?" Cristoia asked again with concern.

"No, my father went north with the fleet. I heard from Brother Heney that my father led the army to take the opportunity to repel the invading Tarantum..." Cynthia replied.

Hearing this, Cristoia became a little worried again.

"Don't worry, Cristoia. Your Majesty, he will definitely come back victorious!" Andrea said comfortably.

"Yes, ma'am." Azuna also interjected: "Now Hades is protecting His Majesty, His Majesty has never lost a battle!"

Kristoya put her arms around the two children and showed a smile: "If the Tarantum can be repelled, Turiyi will be completely safe."

"Yeah, for the safety of the people of the alliance, His Majesty didn't even have time to return home. He continued to fight hard. If the gods did not bless him, who else could he bless!" Andrea praised Davos repeatedly, and then she Thinking of something, he turned back and shouted: "Yu Matthews, don't squat there, come and meet the children who know Aunt Christoia, don't you always say that no one will play with you!"

After Andrea shouted a few times, she heard an "oh" in the garden, and a child stood up from the flowers and plants, with a bit of embarrassment and shyness on her face.

When Little Chloe saw it, he immediately broke free from his mother's arms, ran over quickly, and raised his head to look at him: "Brother, what were you looking at just now?"

"...Ant." Eumatius spit out a word awkwardly.

"See what the ants mean, let's go find Heney and play ball together!" Adoris also rushed over and said.

Eumatius was a little hesitant, and little Chloe stepped forward and took his hand, urging: "Big brother, let's go play together."

Eumatius nodded involuntarily.

Several children jumped to the front yard.

"I'll go take a look too." Cynthia said and followed.

"Cynthia really looks like a big sister now!" Andrea looked at the back of Cynthia going out, her eyes flashing.

"They've all grown up, and we've grown old too!" Cristoia felt a little emotional, and then she asked with concern: "Andrea, Eumatius is already so old, why is he still like when he was a child?! "

"Hey!" Andrea sighed, and sadness climbed onto her face: "You know, that person (referring to her ex-husband) was not good to me and the children, often beating and scolding. After being frightened, he has always been timid... Bagule is good to Eumatius, but...they Lucanians like brave children, Eumatius' temperament...gets along with Bajale It wasn't great, and in Grummentum...the boy Matthews doesn't like going out, so...he doesn't have friends there..."

"Your youngest son should be almost three years old, why didn't you bring him with you today?" Kristoya asked instead.

"His grandfather (referring to Vespa) has not seen him for two years. He has been with him since he came back yesterday, and he is reluctant to let him out." Andrea said helplessly.

"It seems that the care your two children receive at home are very different..." Kristoia said meaningfully.

"Alas!..." Andrea sighed again, her face full of sadness. One is a stepson, with an unpleasant personality; the other is a parent-child, and it is obvious who Bagule's family prefers. But in Andrea's heart, she loves her eldest son even more. After all, this child has been with her during her most difficult times and is her spiritual support. She is well aware of the sensitivity of Eumathus' heart, the new family The estrangement towards him will only make him more introverted, but as a mother, she can't find a good solution.

"Don't worry about it." Cristoia comforted her friend softly, she looked at the open backyard door, and said, "I think little Chloe likes Eumathus very much, and Eumathus is also willing to talk to him. play with him."

"Yeah, I'm also surprised that this kid doesn't usually agree to other people's requests easily. Although little Chloe is young, he has a charm that people are willing to get close to!" Andrea is half compliment, half happy said.

"I have a suggestion." Cristoia said with a serious look: "You might as well let Eumatius live in my house. I have many children here, and they are not too different in age. They go to school and play together, Eumatius. Si will not feel lonely, and his character will become active... What do you think?"

Hearing Cristoia's words, Andrea was a little moved: this is the residence of the new king of Dionia, who in the entire alliance can have such an honor!

But as a mother, she still instinctively refused: "Ma'am, thank you for your concern for the child of Eumatius, but this is too—"

As soon as she said the words, there was a deafening cry of "Wow! Wow! Wow!..." from the cart beside Cristoia.

"Look, even little Eunice agrees to let Eumatius stay." Cristoia laughed.

…………………………

Several children ran to the front yard, but found no trace of Heripolis, and finally Aristillas told them: "His Majesty Davos has sent him to the barracks, saying that he has something important to tell him. "

When several children were disappointed, Cynthia asked, "My father is back?"

"Yes, Your Majesty led the army to annihilate the army invaded by Tarantum, and has returned to the barracks!" Cynthia looked a little excited at the moment when she saw Aristillas, who usually had a serious expression.

Several children have already shouted excitedly: "Victory! Father has won again! ..."

They were scrambling to run back, eager to tell Cristoia of their victory.

…………………………

When Davos returned to the barracks, it was already dusk.

The two successive victories made the whole city of Turii rejoice, especially when the people saw thousands of Tarantum soldiers and Syracuse sailors, naked and bound by strings of statues. Like pigs and sheep, they were escorted to the copper and quarry mines in Turii, and the queues were several miles long. The people stood on both sides of the road, swearing and throwing stones at him, and most of the haze shrouded in the war disappeared in their hearts.

Many people even lit a bonfire in Victory Square, sang and danced around the Turi fountain, which showed the miracle, while thanking Hades for his blessing, and cheering "King Davos is victorious!".

When the patrol asked Kunogolata, the governor of Turii, whether to disperse them, so as not to disturb the order in the city and disturb the sleep of others?

Kunogolata, who has always been rigorous, also smiled tolerantly at the moment: "Let them dance and make trouble. Turui has not been so happy for a long time, but you must maintain good order."

"Yes!" The patrol captain left excitedly.

………………………………

Compared with the people who reveled all night, most of the soldiers who just returned to the barracks were already exhausted because of the hard fighting, and fell asleep as soon as they entered the tent.

Davos was also stumped, because there was something important to deal with, and he had to cheer up.

But when Martius entered the tent, Davos had fallen asleep on the desk.

Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Martius remembered the hard work of the battle today, and he couldn't bear to wake him up. He hesitated for a while in the tent, but he stepped forward again: After all, it was so late, and Davos was still taking his time. Neapolis called, there must be something important! As the captain of the guard of Davos, it is his duty to upload and release, he can't delay important things!

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Davers opened his eyes in confusion.

"Your Majesty, here comes Henepolis." Martius whispered.

"Herney? ... Oh, yes." Davos came back to his senses and asked hastily, "How long has he been here?"

"Just arrived."

"That's okay." Davos rubbed his somewhat numb cheeks and said, "Let him in."

"Yes." Just as Martius turned around, he was stopped by Davos: "Why are you on duty?!"

"I let the others go to bed first."

"Come on! You've just recovered, your body hasn't fully recovered, how can you not take care of your body like this! Go to rest immediately and call other soldiers on duty, or you won't have to follow me tomorrow, go home Go and get well!"

When Davos got angry, Martius didn't dare to argue any more, and obediently walked out of the curtain.

As soon as Henepolis entered the tent, he expressed his emotions with excitement: "Davos... Your Majesty, congratulations on your victory in the naval battle, and at the same time annihilating Tarantum's army, this is simply Amazing! You have achieved such a glorious victory in one day, I should have refused your request, should not have come back in advance to report to Mrs. Stay by your side so I can watch the whole battle go through..."

"I can tell you the whole battle process in detail." Davers interjected.
