Chapter 150 A Moment of Joy
Cynthia and Adoris nodded again and again, and little Chloe asked excitedly, "Then can I play with them?"
"Of course." Davos laughed.
Little Chloe jumped and jumped with joy at once.
"I haven't been to the temple for divination yet, so I don't know if it's a male or a female!" Agnes said coquettishly. In the Hera Temple she is in charge of, there are priests who specialize in divination for pregnant women, because the pregnancy is still early. , the belly has not been fully revealed, so she has not done it yet. However, Agnes prayed silently every day to Hera, whom she served, to give her a healthy boy.
"I'm a favored one. I said it was a boy, and you must be a boy!" Davers of course knew what she was thinking, so he said solemnly.
"Really?!" Agnes blinked, dubious.
"Okay, now we have five children in our family!" Davos said loudly to Cristoia and Agnes with a smile: "You have to keep working hard and try to make up ten and form a team. !"
Cristoia immediately scolded: "It's so hard to give birth to a child, do you think it's as easy as marching to fight a war!"
Davos laughed, and there was a burst of laughter in the bedroom.
By the end of the night, the children had all gone to sleep, and Eunice was also carried to the outhouse by Asuna, and the three people in the bedroom were sleepy.
Agnes finally couldn't help looking at Davos, and said faintly, "I... I went back to sleep..."
"What are you going back!" Davos grabbed her and blurted out without hesitation: "I will sleep here tonight, and let me accompany you well!"
"How does this work?" Agnes looked at Cristoia in embarrassment, although she was heartbroken.
"Sister, just stay." Cristoia said seriously: "Davers is going back to the barracks tomorrow, and I don't know when he will be back. Our sisters will talk to him tonight!"
Really only talk. Cristoia had just given birth and was unable to have sex; Agnes was still in the early stages of her pregnancy and could not be in love with Davers either.
Blowing out the candles, lying between Cristoia and Agnes, with their intoxicating body fragrance lingering on the tip of their noses, holding their slender fingers in his hand, Davos unexpectedly felt a kind of "wish long companionship" in his heart. Here, I don't want to go to bed early" the happy feeling...
"When will this war end?" Agnes leaned on her husband's side,
asked softly.
"I'm afraid it will take a few months... huh..." Davos replied, Agnes' hair was sticking to the side of his face, making him a little itchy, but his hands were held in the arms of the two wives , he couldn't draw it out, so he had to try to blow it open with his mouth.
"It's going to take that long!" Agnes' low voice was full of disappointment.
"Don't worry, before you give birth, I can definitely end the war and return to Turii to accompany you!" Davos comforted her.
"Really?!" Agnes was a little surprised.
"Really!" Davos said in a deep voice.
"Sister, look how good he is to you! When I was pregnant with little Chloe and Eunice, he never said such a thing!" With Cristoia's dissatisfied voice, Davos' left hand There was severe pain, and he resisted and did not cry out.
"Then I'll wait for you to come back. You should also pay attention to safety on the battlefield!" Agnes chuckled and kissed affectionately on the side of his face. After a while, a slight snoring sounded in Davos' ear. .
Agnes actually fell asleep.
"It's good to be pregnant, you can fall asleep when you want, unlike me because of Eunice... um..." Kristoya just sighed, Davos turned around and kissed it Her rosy lips.
The long kiss almost made her breathless.
"Agnes is still in bed—" Cristoia took a deep breath, and just said something shy, Davos kissed her again.
During this period of time, because of the pregnancy of the two wives and the intense war that followed, Davos, who had been abstinent for a long time, couldn't hold back. The kiss after kiss melted Cristoia's restraint, but she still kept it. With the last hint of hesitation: "Dear, I still have a little..."
"I understand." Davers said softly in her ear, "Baby, you can use your mouth and hands..."
Cristoia shyly nibbled on his firm shoulder.
Davos untied her clothes, bowed down, and gently sucked up in the restricted area where her daughter usually breastfeeds...
Soon, a suppressed, seductive moan came from the bedroom...

With the support of the Persian governor, Phanabazus, the Athenian general Konon took another shocking move for the Spartans after the victory of the Knidos naval battle - that is, to occupy the Gulf of Laconia again. The opposite island, Sithira, is used as an advance naval base in Athens, so that it can not only control the passage of the Spartan alliance fleet into and out of the Eastern Mediterranean, but also monitor the movements in the Laconia Gulf.
What worried the Spartans most was this: they were afraid that the Athenians would incite Spartan Heroes to flee to Scylla, as they had done during the Peloponnesian War, which would lead to Spartans. Unstable at the rear.
Even Spartan ships entering and leaving the Gulf of Laconia are now extremely cautious, for fear of running into the Athenian fleet.
When the passenger ship Cleethorpes was on set off from Gofiian, the only good port in Sparta, located at the mouth of the Olotas River, he saw the nervous expressions of the captain and the sailors, which made him involuntarily look at him. Far to the northeast, the faintly visible, gray outline of the land on the sea was the island of Sythira, occupied by the Athenians.
Kerethopston was full of worries about Sparta: at sea, the Athenians had the upper hand, and the Spartan Confederate fleet did not even dare to garrison the Gulf of Laconia, and retreated to the Peloponnes On the west side of the peninsula; on land, due to the stubborn defense of the Anti-Spartan Alliance in the Isthmus of Corinth, the Spartan army could not advance an inch, forcing the Council of Elders to finally decide to change the commander again, so that Agasi, who was recovering from illness Rolls is back in action.
For this personnel change, Kerisopes is cautiously optimistic: he does not deny that he is more optimistic about the commanding ability of this frail Spartan king, and Agesilaus's achievements in Asia Minor in the past few years have already served him well. won a great reputation.
But the anti-Spartan alliance had the support of the Persians, and Chrysopus, who had been to Persia, knew: it meant that the enemies of Sparta had the backing of endless wealth, and even if they failed time and time again, they were still ready to go. It is possible to recruit another huge army, but the number of citizens of Sparta is limited, so it is of great significance for me to send Turiyi this time. I want to stop the war between Dionia and Syracuse as soon as possible. Let Syracuse, the overlord of the Western Mediterranean, free up his hands to aid Sparta. With the support of Syracuse's powerful navy and huge army, Sparta has more confidence in ending the war successfully!
But would Dionia agree? The image of a 19-year-old young man came to Kerethorpes' mind, and that was the first time he saw Davos. Since we parted in Asia Minor, five or six years have passed, and I have never seen this young man again. I only learned about him from rumors. And every time the news comes, Clethorpes is surprised: the former teenager is now a powerful ruler in the Western Mediterranean region, and he dares to compete with Syracuse, the overlord of the Western Mediterranean! Now is not what it used to be, how to convince him? Kerethorpes did not have full confidence in his heart, and could only go all out.
And another missionary object gave him even more headaches: Dionysius, all Spartans who have come into contact with the tyrant of Syracuse say that his greed, domineering and wickedness will pay off, and now let him end How could he agree to a war with an advantage if it didn't satisfy him!
With a heavy sigh, Clethorpes suppressed these vexing questions for a moment, and asked aloud, "How long will it take to get to Turii?"
"About two days." The captain replied.

The process of Arobmas usurping Laos went very smoothly. Because of his long-term management, the chiefs and officials in the city chose to support him, not the young Henepolis who would damage their status and interests as soon as he took office. His troops were taken away by him again, so Arobmas easily controlled the whole city, except that the price he paid was only a scolding from his sister-in-law.
After the failure of the plan to seize the La River fortress, he did not feel panic, but decided to shrink his troops and fortify the city to defend against the possible attack of the Dionysian army. In half a month, I believe that in the east of the mountain, the Syracuse army's attack on Dionia will be able to achieve greater progress, and the situation of the entire Dionia will be greatly changed. By then, maybe Laos still has the opportunity to expand!
Arobmas devoted himself to his defense plan, and some rumors in the port also began to spread and expand under the control of people with intentions.
"Henipolis is a good consul! In order to allow us civilians to obtain more rights, he has issued many laws that are beneficial to our civilians, but the nobles headed by Arobmas refuse to implement them!"
"Did you know? Our consul issued a 'land plan' to allocate land to our poor, but Arobmas threatened his nephew and forced him to withdraw the bill!"
"Brothers, we helped the Avinogis drive out the Lucanians, but our lives have not changed, we still have no money, no land, and we still do the same hard work as when we were slaves, Heavy work, those people in Arobmas still treat us like slaves, we can't go on like this!"
