Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 147 Super Spear

In this regard, Melisanda was not surprised. He knew that his mother actually preferred to live in the small city of Amendolara, and only chose to live in the noisy city of Turii in order to take care of Felixius. Feeling lonely after Felixius' expedition, she naturally chose to come to Amendolara to live with his daughter-in-law and grandson.

Melisander walked along the corridor.

"Brother! Brother!..." A little girl ran towards him.

"Little Doris!" Melisanda stepped forward and hugged her three-year-old daughter, Doris, who was born to her mother and Felixius.

"Brother! Brother!..." Then another child staggered towards him.

"Be careful, my darling." Melisanda hurriedly hugged him with the other hand, and then corrected him dumbfoundedly, "I'm not your brother, but your father, I want to call my father, you know, call me dad!"

This boy is the son of Alsinis and Hepna, little Alsinis. Melisanda took good care of Hepna during her pregnancy, so he regarded little Alcines as his own.

It is also interesting to say that the daughter born by his stepfather and mother is very different in age from Melisanda, but is about the same age as his two-year-old stepson, little Alsinis, more like a brother and sister. And little Alcines loved to play with the little aunt.

"No, just call him brother! Just call him brother!" The mischievous Doris urged.

Little Alsinis looked at Doris and Melisanda ignorantly, and called out again, "Brother! Brother!"

Melisanda was angry and funny, patted Doris's butt twice, and said with a pretence: "If you continue to teach little Al, my brother will beat you!"

Doris immediately burst into tears.

"Melisanda, how old are you, you still don't know how to let your sister!" A female voice that was not reproachful, but more like a relief, came from the front.

"Mother!" Melisanda stood up and shouted kindly, then turned to the slender young figure beside Delia, and said softly, "I'm back, Hepna."

Hepna stared at her husband, who had lost his childishness and became more robust and burly, and scrutinized him carefully until she confirmed that there were no scars, and then she dispelled her worries and smiled at Melisanda.

"Hasn't His Majesty Davos ordered you to go home and reunite only by repelling the enemy?! Why are you back now!" Delia asked in surprise,

She was so eloquent about Davos's new title because it was their faithful followers of Hades who put Davos on the throne.

"Because His Majesty allowed us to go home and participate in the donation, and return to the barracks tomorrow." Melisanda replied.

"Ah, go back tomorrow!" Hepna blurted out, she didn't expect the time together would be so short.

"When the war is over and peace is restored, you can let Melisanda stay at home as long as you want, but now they have to drive away all the enemies who have destroyed our land!" Delia taught her daughter-in-law, she saw with her own eyes Seeing her homeland being ravaged by the Tarantum, she didn't want it to happen again.

"You're right, mother." Hepna replied respectfully.

Melisanda gently pushed away the little hand that his son was scratching on his face, and said, "Your Majesty will soon lead us south to repel the Syracuse people. The biggest problem now is that the food supply is somewhat insufficient—"

"I heard that the situation at your father's place (referring to Aspurustum) is not very good..." Delia was very worried, not only because of hearing that the soldiers on the front line were short of food, but also because of the failure of the Great War. In the hinterland of Dionia, she could hear some bad words blaming her husband, such as poor commanding ability, etc. It is conceivable how much pressure Felixius on the front line was under: "I want to donate money and food. , Hepna and I were ready, you came back just in time, and we'll go to Victory Square together in a while."

"That's great!" Melisanda said happily, which saved him a lot of energy.

"Melisenda, my son, you went to the south this time, you must help your father more!" Delia urged again.

How can I help him? My father is the commander of the south, and I am just a sub-commander of a regiment. Melisanda thought to herself, but her mouth was full of promises.

Hepna took the little Alsinis from his arms, Delia hugged Doris, and the family entered the main building.

…………………………

"What did you say?! Lord... Your Majesty can't go home yet?!" Asuna asked anxiously, "But I heard that the soldiers in the military camp have been disbanded and returned home!"

Aristillas said calmly: "Your Majesty still has important things to do and will be back later, so let me tell Madam first."

"I see, we'll wait for him to come back." Cristoia responded with a smile.

Aristillas said goodbye and left.

"Sister, will Davos not come back today?!" Disappointment and worry were intertwined on Agnes' pretty face, looking a little pitiful. Although she was 24 years old, she was always favored by her father before she got married, and after marrying Turii, she was favored by Davos. She was usually either at home or in the temple, and she never suffered any major disturbances or setbacks. This time she was pregnant for the first time, and she was unavoidably uneasy and in urgent need of someone to accompany and comfort her (the rate of childbirth and dystocia is still very high in this era, even in Dionia, where medical treatment is relatively advanced). I've been away all the time, I finally heard that I was coming back, and in a blink of an eye, I said that I would postpone it. Naturally, I was worried about gains and losses.

Although Kristoya was also a little depressed, as the mistress who managed the whole house, she still cheered up and tried her best to comfort: "Sister, don't worry, our husband, it's not that you don't know him, he said today When he comes back, he will definitely come back today! You, don't worry, go to the bedroom and sleep for a while, lest you be too sleepy to sleep when he comes back."

"Okay...Sister, don't forget to wake me up later." Agnes said softly, and she was led into the main building by the female slave.

Cristoia sighed lightly and felt bitter for a while: Agnes has my comfort, but who will comfort me!

…………………………

At this moment, Davos is carefully examining a weapon placed on the table in the large tent: this is a spear, and its shape and style are the same as those used by heavy infantry, the only difference being the length of the barrel and diameter. It was four meters long, two meters longer than the usual spears used by soldiers, and the diameter of the barrel was thicker.

Just as Davos picked it up, the weapons merchant Theos hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, watch out for the top of your head!"

Davos' height and the length of the spear almost pierced the high roof. He had to lift it diagonally, shake the spear a few times, and make a few thrusts, and then asked with satisfaction: "This spear does Not bad, every shot is like this?"

Theo said frankly: "Your Majesty, you asked me to build 6,000 such spears in such a short period of time. Of course, it is impossible for me to make every one of these spears like the one in your hand. The barrel is very polished. Sleek, but I can assure you that they have no problem killing the enemy at all! And in terms of quality, these spears are stronger and more durable, because of your approval, Your Majesty, we felled the cedars in the mountains of Amendolara , Use the wood of the warship to find the spear, so as to ensure that after such a long barrel is connected to the iron spear head, there will be no big vibration when stabbing, and it will not be easily broken..."

Davos nodded: "Is it all finished?"

"I only found 1400 shots, because Lord Caps is in a hurry, so I sent it here first."

Davos frowned and said, "Hurry up, I'm afraid we won't be in Turui for a few days, and we will go to the battlefield again, so we must build all these spears as soon as possible and distribute them to every soldier. And they have to set aside time for training, time is very tight!"

"Your Majesty, we have done our best! It's just to chop down trees, carry, cut, plan wood..." Theos began to complain.

Davos interrupted him: "I asked Capps to send you people from the transportation camp to assist you in completing some less important processes, such as cutting down trees, carrying, etc., and your people will finish the spearhead, The production of gun barrels, is this okay?!"

"If that's the case..." Tios thought about it carefully, and then said loudly: "I should... I can guarantee that after three days... No, the day after tomorrow, I will be able to send you all the spears!"

"Then it's hard work for you! Regarding the cost of this batch of weapons, the treasury is now in short supply, and it can only be counted to you after the war is over. But don't worry, I will let Mersis add 10% interest to you. ."

As soon as Davos finished speaking, Theos hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to donate all these spears to the Alliance, and I also donated three Tarrants to the Alliance, and I have already brought my family to Victory Square. .Your Majesty, you took the lead and set an example for us. As a citizen of the alliance, although I cannot go to the battlefield, I am willing to contribute my strength to the victory of this war for the alliance!"

"Okay! Well said!" Davos praised loudly: "Of course your contributions are all recorded, and when the war is won, the Senate will reward it!"

Davos vaguely mentioned a sentence, which lifted the spirits of Theos. He immediately took out a few papyrus from his arms and handed them to Davos.

Davos took it and glanced at it. It was densely written with handwriting, and looked at Tios with some doubts.

"Your Majesty, this is the foreign businessmen in the Amendolara handicraft manufacturing area who heard that the alliance called for citizens to donate, and they also expressed, 'I hope to participate in the donation and help the alliance overcome this difficulty.' This is the donation material they drafted. Checklist," Theos explained.
