Chapter 96 Farewell

"Go to Ladum to be a judge?!" Kusnia was stunned for a moment, feeling a little flustered for no reason: "Ladum is so far away from us, and there is a war going on, it's too unsafe for you to be a judge there! And... And the child is still so young, and I am taking care of it at home by myself..."

"Nia, I know that if I go to Ladrum, it will be more difficult for you next time!" Pleika said solemnly: "But this time is a good opportunity for me! I have been a trainee judge for half a year. I am still working as an assistant in the courtroom. I am afraid that it will take two or three years to become a formal judge. Moreover, if I want to serve as the presiding judge of a town and try cases and handle cases alone, I have to see if there are any vacancies... I came from a captured kingdom slave, with no wealthy family to rely on, and no high-status former master to help, I can only rely on myself! I can only do what others don't want to risk! Going to Ladrum is dangerous, But I may be directly in charge of a town's court, and if I perform well, I may even get the attention of His Majesty Davos who fought in Ladrum... Maybe one day, I can be like Lord Terry Todmos, wearing Bolton with a white robe and a black border (referring to becoming a senator)!"

Kusnia looked at her husband blankly. She knew that her husband had been working very hard, but she never knew that her Libyan husband, who was slightly dark and thin, had such big ambitions in his chest...

………………………………

In the chief mansion of Abenerum, Garni had just sent off the Dionysian messenger Karias, and his cronie Maione entered the living room and saw that Garni was leaning heavily on the wooden chair. , I don't know what I was thinking, and hurriedly asked: "Leader, did the Dionysian messenger come this time to ask us to attack Leskuk?"

To tell the truth, since the Samonai declared war on the kingdom of Dionia, the Abenerum people who were caught in the middle were the most uncomfortable.

The high priest of the Samonai Tribal Alliance also came to Abenerum in person to reiterate the ancient and sacred traditions of Samonay to Gaerni, and seeing Gaerni swear in the name of Savoni, this Feel free to leave. So the Abenerums were very worried that the Dionysians would ask them to attack their own kind, which would force them to break old traditions and would be spurned by all the Samonites.

Gellney shook his head: "The Dionysians did not ask me to attack Leskuk, nor did they borrow from us."

While heaving a sigh of relief, Mayoni asked suspiciously, "Since the Dionians understand us so well, what are you worried about, Chief?"

Gaerney sighed: "The Dionysians believe that Leskuk has always been unfriendly to Dionysus, and that he was the initiator of this war, which not only brought harm to Dionysus, but also brought harm to Dionysus. The Hirpines brought disaster, and they hoped that...I could remove Leskouk from power, become the chief of Hirpini, and restore peace to Hirpini and Dionia..."

Maiony's eyes lit up,

Loudly said: "Leader, this is a good thing! With Dionia's support, you can easily regain the position of the great leader of Shirpini that should belong to you!"

Gaerney smiled bitterly: "Myoni, this is against tradition! What's more, Leskuk has the full support of several other tribal chiefs and high priests, and his position as chief is very stable!"

"Tradition?!" Meyoni snorted angrily: "At that time, Talesguk insisted on relocating tribes to our Abenirum territory, and directly arranged them to be leaders. Isn't this a violation of tradition! Skok can do this, why can't we! It is because he has the support of several other high leaders and high priests that he has tried to drive you away many times, if not for the help of the Dionysians , Abenerum has long been occupied by the Beneventoum people! This time, he took advantage of the war between Dionysian and Carthage, and incited the tribes to war with Dioria. The demi-humans are defeated... Chief, I'm afraid we will have to flee to Dionia with our tribe!"

Hearing this, Gellney's face showed a bit of ruthlessness, but he said hesitantly: "I also want to oust Lesguk from the position of the chief of Sirpini! But what should I do? Do you really want to take advantage of the emptiness of Beneventum’s defenses and lead troops to launch a surprise attack on it?!”

"Leader, doing that will only increase the rejection and hatred of the Shirpini tribe and other tribes against us." Maiony stepped forward and suggested to him: "Leskouk incited the tribes to launch a campaign against Dionia. The war, so far, has not brought any benefits, but has killed and wounded a lot of soldiers, don't these tribes have no complaints against him?! Especially our Shirpini, I heard that thousands of people were captured... Now , The Dionysians supported the leader to become the chief leader of Shilpini, I think they should hand over these thousands of people to the leader for your disposal."

Gellney was shocked when he heard the words, pondered for a while, and then said cautiously: "We need to discuss this matter... In addition, you go and tell the messenger of Dionia, ask him to be in Abenelu. Mdo stay for two days, then I have something important to discuss with him."

At the same time that Carrias was dispatched to Abenerum, Tapirus also came to the city of Naconia in the Campania region. Induk said: Dionia is willing to support him to become the chief of Kautini.

Although Quindok has always been at odds with Segovani, and has repeatedly claimed that Segovani used a trick to take away the position of chief that should belong to him, when Tapirus confronted him, he But he clearly expressed his refusal, and claimed that: Nakonia is neither willing to declare war on the friendly ally Dionysian, nor willing to slash at its own kindred in violation of tradition, Nakonia will remain in this war. neutral.

……………………………………

At dawn, Davos got up.

Agnes also woke up immediately.

"It's still early, you can sleep for a while." Davos covered her with the quilt he lifted with concern.

"You're leaving soon, how can I sleep!" Agnes complained, and then called out.

The slave girl who had been waiting in the outhouse immediately brought water and a washcloth.

The two began to wash and then get dressed.

Agnes sat in front of the dressing table and simply combed her hair and tied it in a bun. Davers stepped forward and helped her tie her hair tie.

"Your Majesty, this is the first time for little Chloe to go to the battlefield, you have to take good care of him!" Agnes reminded worriedly.

"He's by my side, so there's no danger, don't worry." Davos comforted her with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you must also pay attention to safety!" Agnes turned her head and stared at him with concern.

Davos nodded, bent down, and kissed affectionately on her pretty smooth cheek.

The couple went downstairs lightly, came to the dining room, and saw that Kristoya and Klotokatax were already waiting there.

"Clotto, did you sleep well last night?" Davers asked with a smile.

"Father, I couldn't sleep at first, but then I was so sleepy that I fell asleep in a daze. It was my mother who woke me up in the morning..." Clotokatax said embarrassedly and truthfully.

"You are much stronger than when I first played, I didn't sleep all night..." Davers encouraged him with self-deprecating.

"Kloto, you're going with your father this time, so what's so nervous." Cristoia interjected.

"Mother, I'm not nervous, but excited! Because I can finally go to the real battlefield!..." Clotokataxes blushed and defended.

"What's the difference between nervousness and excitement..." Cristoia couldn't help but retort.

"Let's have breakfast first, the porridge is getting cold!" Agnes interrupted hurriedly.

"Hurry up to eat, Martius and Henepolis are still waiting for us at the foot of the mountain." After Davos finished speaking, the dining room returned to silence.

Clotokatax quickly drank a bowl of wheat porridge, a bowl of goat milk, chewed a loaf of honey, and ate a fried sea fish...

Agnes had no choice but to say, "Don't worry, Chloe, eat slowly!..."

Clotokatax finished his breakfast in one breath, walked out of the dining room, took his armor from Ribazzo, the house chief, and began to put it on.

In the dining room, Davers was still comforting his two wives, reassuring them that he would take good care of his son.

Soon, Davos also put on his armor, and he handed the helmet with the long black plume crown to his son, and then hugged and kissed his two wives goodbye.

"When Eunice, Apox, Briantes, and Avia wake up, tell them that I will bring them a lot of gifts after I come back from Ladum..." Davers finished with a smile , get on the horse.

"Mother! Agnes mother! I'm gone, don't worry, I'll be back safely!" Clotokatax also stepped forward to hug them, said goodbye obediently, and then mounted the horse.

Under the escort of ten palace guards, the group galloped down the mountain.

Cristoia and Agnes watched their father and son leave, and did not want to go back to the house for a long time...

At this time, the sky was dark, the full moon was still hanging in the sky, and a few micro-stars could still be vaguely seen.

The cold air in the early morning drove away the sleepiness of people, making Clotokataxes full of energy. He couldn't help asking: "Father, when I arrive in Ladium, will I have a chance to fight and kill the enemy?"

Davos obviously considered this question, and he answered without hesitation: "Yes!"

Clotokatax could see that Davos was not perfunctory, so he was even more excited. He rushed ahead and quickly reached the bottom of the mountain.
