Christoya couldn't help but ask with concern: "Is there anything wrong?"

"There is an important administrative matter that needs to be handled urgently. I will go there and I will come back soon. I will leave it to you and Agents here to let the children eat happily."

Whether it was the two princesses, Clotokatax, Eunice and others were very accustomed to Davers leaving the table in the middle, the banquet was still held lively.

Davers walked straight to the front yard, Alistilas was already waiting in the study.

"What happened?" Although Davers' tone was calm, he understood in his heart: it was by no means a trivial matter for this intelligence manager to come here when the people of Turiyi were celebrating the victory of the Dionia Games.

"Your Majesty, I just received information from the Afilica area-" Alistilas said with a serious expression: "The fleet of the Egyptian Envoys encountered a storm in the waters between Cyrenega and Hadrumentum on the way to Turiyi, and may have been destroyed-"

"Maybe it had been destroyed?" Davers raised his eyebrows, obviously dissatisfied with such an ambiguous statement.

Alistilas hurriedly explained: "The storm happened at dusk. No other ships were witnessed by nearby ships. It was not until the second day that a Phoenician merchant ship rescued the Egyptian sailors who had been drifting on the sea for most of the day that they learned about this situation and immediately reported it to Hadrummentum. Just when the intelligence personnel of Hagrummentum issued this report, a large number of ships had been sent to search the entire sea area, and a Numibian light cavalry army was sent to search along the coast. I believe that a more detailed report would be heard soon."

"There are unexpected situations! No wonder the Egyptian delegation has not been able to arrive at the Port of Turiyi in time..." Davers tapped the wooden chair with his finger, pondered for a while, and sighed helplessly: "May Hades protect Jeho Hao safe and sound!"

Alistilas stood quietly.

Davers glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Asuna and the children went to the arena to watch the opening ceremony of the sports meeting today? Do they think it looks good?"

"Very wonderful!" Alistilas replied without hesitation: "Poris (his youngest son) kept talking excitedly when he got home. Asuna decided to take them to the game tomorrow."

"There will be competitions in several arenas tomorrow, so how to make a choice is a headache." Davers said seriously: "If you can't buy tickets, you can go to Ribazo and he will prepare it for you."

"Thank you for your concern!" Alistilas said gratefully.

"Okay, I won't keep you for more. Today is a great day for all the people of Tuliyi. Hurry up and go back and celebrate with the children!"

Davers smiled and looked at Alistilas with a smile and then sat alone in the study, his deep eyes staring at the hazy night through the wooden window.

After a long time, he thoughtfully said in Chinese: "The heaven and earth are all in power..."

He walked to the door of the study and asked Ribazo to call Clotokataks.

After Crotokataks came to the study, Davers told him about the storm of the Egyptian emissary.

Crotokatax was shocked: "This is bad! If Jie Hao dies in a storm, Egypt will be in chaos!"

"Why do you say that?" Davers asked with a calm expression.

"Father, you want to test me again." Crotokatax smiled bitterly, and continued: "The domestic political situation in Egypt is complicated now. Pharaoh Tanib is ill and cannot be in charge of the board of directors. The national government is basically under the responsibility of Jeho. After Jeho took office, he quickly changed Egypt's national policy and began to suppress and suppress domestic religious forces. This has aroused the dissatisfaction of a large number of monks. Pharaoh Tanib's relative Nick Tanibus was dissatisfied with Jeho's rule, and he had ambitions for the Egyptian throne. There were also secrets of collusion with the Egyptians...

It is precisely because of the unstable rule of Jeho's rule in Egypt that he is willing to take risks and lead a delegation to Turiyi to participate in our sports meetings in order to get our full support for him... But if Jeho is killed in the storm, the pharaoh Tanib is seriously ill and cannot be in charge of the throne, and there is no second prestigious heir to the throne to stabilize the political situation. Both monks and Nick Tanibus are likely to take the opportunity to make trouble..."

Davers nodded and asked again, "So what do you think should be dealt with about this?"

Crotokatax thought carefully for a while before saying, "I think first of all, we should send more personnel to speed up the search for Jie Jiehao's traces, and determine his life and death as soon as possible. If Hades is blessed and he is still alive, then everyone will be happy. We should take him to Turi as soon as possible and arrange a doctor to treat him and ensure his health.

At the same time, a messenger was sent to Memphis to inform Pharaoh Tanib and Egyptian officials of the news that "Jiehao is safe and sound" to avoid some rumors that it caused turmoil in Egypt. After the game, an elite army was sent to carefully escort Jaehao back to Egypt to show the Egyptian people our support for Jaehao and help him stabilize the political situation in Egypt.

But if Jie Hao is killed…”

Clautkatax paused for a while, and then said with a serious expression: "We must not only send Jeho's body back to Egypt as soon as possible, but also send an envoy to discuss with Pharaoh Tanib, so that he can designate a successor as soon as possible, and establish contact with the successor, re-establish the friendship and covenant between the two countries, and promise to fully support his rule in Egypt.

At the same time, we must start mobilizing some legions and fleets. Once a rebellion occurs in Egypt and receive a request for help from Egypt, we will immediately send troops to Egypt to assist in quelling the rebellion..."

After listening carefully, Davers said in a gentle tone: "You think very carefully, and this is indeed the most standard way to deal with this crisis."

Crotokatax was stunned and asked in confusion: "Father, what do you mean?"

Davers stared at him and said in a low tone: "Dionia was still very weak back then. Facing the tremendous pressure from Syracuse and Carthage, Egypt has formed an alliance with us, which can be said to have given us great help, especially in terms of food.

But times change... As the kingdom becomes stronger, Egypt becomes more and more a burden. In the war five years ago, we devoted all our might to conquer the Greek land, and we had to divide some of our strength to help defend Egypt. In the following years, many troops were stationed in Egypt."

Davers tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers, his eyes becoming deeper: "As Greece was included in the sphere of influence of the kingdom, Egypt has become the forefront of the struggle between the kingdom and Persia, and the Persian king seemed to be very persistent in reconquering Egypt... But the current situation in Egypt is becoming increasingly unstable. Even if Jeho is still alive and has received our support, judging by his previous governance style and means, his conflict with Egyptian monks will only become increasingly intensified. Egypt's future political situation may continue to turmoil, and with the foreign enemy of Persia... Should we, Dionya, have to send reinforcements again and again to help him maintain his domestic rule? Don't forget that Dionya and Egypt are just brotherly relationships, not parents who only seek to give but not seek to repay."

Hearing this, Crotokatax jumped in his heart and immediately persuaded: "Father, hasn't the Executive Council made a resolution and is about to start an attack on Persia? We are just needing strong support from Egypt, and after we defeat Persia, Egypt will naturally stabilize. Even if the conflict between the future pharaoh and the monks intensifies, it will be a very easy problem for us to solve by then, so I don't think it is a good idea to break the alliance with Egypt, and this is not in line with the consistent tradition of the kingdom!"

Davers smiled slightly: "If Jeho is still alive, the Kingdom will naturally support him. But if he is already dead, Tanib will soon die. According to the information currently obtained, Nicktani Persia has great power and is likely to be successful in usurping the throne. Will Dionia and Egypt still be an alliance? Nicktani Persia, supported by Persia, can only be our enemy!"

"Father, as long as we send reinforcements in time, we can stop Niktani Persian rebellion." Crotokataks reminded: "Even if Niktani Persian takes the lead and usurp the throne successfully, we have the ability to completely defeat him and re-support the other descendants of Tanibo as pharaohs."

Without asking for permission, Davers said quietly: "Ten birds in the forest are worse than one bird in hand... After all, the allies are allies, and there are many things and troublesome things, so it is not as convenient as using them yourself!"

Crotokatax suddenly widened his eyes, and then asked in surprise: "Father, are you planning to... conquer Egypt?"

Davers looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Having Egypt has a very important strategic significance for the future development of the kingdom! In the past few years, you have had a deep understanding of the kingdom's food production and supply. Although there has not been any drought in the past few years and the harvest is relatively sufficient, the population of Turi and its neighboring areas has grown rapidly, and the local people have produced food that cannot be self-sufficient. They must be imported in large quantities from Sicily, Rome, Afriga and other regions, and the amount has increased year by year, while the grain output in these areas is almost constant. If this continues, one day the consumption will exceed the supply...

The Pohe area has a wide water network and dense forests. It will take a long time to fully develop it. Egypt has been a granary of the Mediterranean since ancient times. If it has it, it will have long-term guarantee of food!

Besides, once we defeat Persia, occupy some territory along the coast of Asia in the Eastern Mediterranean, and Egypt will provide them with nearby guarantees, it will also strengthen the kingdom's rule there."
