"At least, come and take a look at our little Eunice, right?" Asuna bent down and whispered to the little baby in the small wooden wheelbarrow.

The originally quiet little Eunice approached her and immediately shouted "ah" and danced around, kicking away the thick wool covering her body.

"Madam, look, even Little Eunice is protesting!" Asuna said jokingly while covering the baby with a quilt. That is, she was treating the slaves kindly Davers mansion, and because Asuna was Cristoya's confidant, she dared to speak like this.

Cristoya looked at her daughter, with a gentle light flashing in her bright eyes. She remembered something and sighed softly and said, "Little Crow didn't see his father when she was born. Who told Dionia that there was always constant wars..."

While the three of them were sighing, a cry came from the front yard.

It's Little Clow! Agenus and Asuna's faces changed, and Asuna hurriedly said, "I'll go and have a look."

"No need to go. With Heni and Cynthia here, what's there to worry about?" Cristoya, as a mother, was much calmer than Agenice and Asuna.

Due to the expansion of the war, Dionia has continuously transferred young and middle-aged people to the front line. Many institutions in the entire Turiyi stopped operating due to lack of manpower. The same is true for the school. Guards and instructors either joined the new army, became sailors or joined the transport team. Although the teachers have special laws for the purpose of protecting high-quality talents and do not have to go to the battlefield, they still go to places where they are needed under the arrangement of the city hall to contribute to the war, such as becoming statisticians of the Ministry of Military Affairs and bookkeepers for logistics transportation...

As a result, the school's teaching stagnated. Without the protection of guards and instructors, the safety of students could not be guaranteed, so Ansitanos had to announce that the school was temporarily closed.

For safety, Cynthia, Adoris, and Little Clow were ordered not to go out. The little guys who were so suffocated at home saw the big brother Henipolis who hadn't seen for a long time come back, and they pestered him and played with him.

Henipolis, who was still childlike, had to take them to play rugby throwing games on the sports field in the front yard atrium (because the children were old and energetic, Davers simply knocked out the pool in the front yard atrium and changed the whole to a small sports field so that the children could play happily inside and exercise their bodies at the same time).

The four-year-old little Clow naturally followed his brother excitedly. His sister ran around, accidentally tripped to the ground and cried loudly.

Adoris was having fun and said impatiently: "There is no bleeding, so what's there to cry!"

Cynthia glared at him, and Adoris stopped talking at once. He had always been a little afraid of his own sister who was two years older than him.

Cynthia rushed over, helped the crying little Clow up, gently patted the dust on his body, and then said softly: "Little Clow, you are a brave soldier, and the soldier will not cry."

When Little Crow, who often learns from Adoris at home and wants to be a heroic soldier, immediately wipes his little hand on his face and says, "I'm not crying!"

"Okay, let's take a break first." Henipolis gasped and sat on the sidelines. Unlike the citizens of the league who often conducted military training, he spent most of his time in the academy to check materials and practice writing. He lacked exercise. As a snatcher, he ran back and forth with these energetic children, and soon exhausted his energy: "I'll tell you a story."

"What story?" Adoris asked immediately with interest. Henipolis was good at telling stories and used to tell them to children.

"The story of Hades's wife, Goddess Palsephone, and the sea monster, was collected by me last time in Sicily, and you must have never heard of it."

"I want to listen!" Adoris shouted immediately.

"I want to listen too!" Little Clow shouted even louder.

Cynthia sat quietly next to Henepolis without saying a word.

When Aristillas walked into the house, he happened to see three children sitting around Henipolis, listening carefully to his vivid stories.

Seeing this warm scene, Aristillas naturally remembered the news about the "Arobumas Rebellion" I just received, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart...

…………………………………

On the morning of December 6, the weather was clear, the sky was clear and the sky was cloudless, accompanied by a breeze.

Davers gathered all the soldiers of the First and Second Legion in the barracks, and then led them to the foot of the Hades Temple, where many people had already gathered, as well as the senators of the Senate.

Davers took the lead up the mountain, followed by the Senate and two legion commanders.

The priest in charge, Presinus, had already been waiting in front of the temple, and a group of people led by Davers walked into the Hell Hall of Hades Temple with a solemn expression.

Davers looked up at the statue of the Pluto holding his double-stranded fork, with black hair and wide eyes wide open. He felt a sense of intimacy in his heart: from his rebirth to now, he has formed an indissoluble bond with Hades, and now he is resting with him. As long as Dionia has always existed, Davers' royal family will be a family with him, worship him, and be blessed by him...

Thinking of this, Davers knelt down and saluted devoutly, and then said loudly: "O the fair and selfless God of Hades, your kingdom of gods on earth is surrounded by war and is in danger. Your descendants (that is, Davers himself) are about to lead their troops to fight the Syracuses to death, hoping to get your blessing and return with great victory!"

After saying that, Davers stood up, lit an oil lamp, and placed it respectfully on the altar in the middle of the statue.

Then, Presinas led a black calf specially selected from the numerous Lucanian cattle, as if he knew his fate, but when Davers held it with his left hand, he did not scream or jump.

Davers pulled out the short sword, touched its back and neck, and made up his mind and stabbed it hard. The calf whined and fell to the ground and died.

The priests quickly lifted it onto the sacrificial table, cut open the abdomen, and took out the internal organs to check. How could the internal organs of healthy calf have lesions? Therefore, after carefully looking through the divination priest, he shouted: "Auspicious sign! It's auspicious sign!!"

Everyone looked relaxed, showing joy, singing Hades's hymn, watching Presinas solemnly offering fresh blood food to the statue...

In addition to the Hall of Underworld, Davers and the two legion commanders worshiped the Heroic Spirit Temple...

"Dong!...Dong!..." The nine long and powerful bells came from the mountain, and with one strong sound, the people and soldiers at the foot of the mountain were all excited.

"It's a good omen! It's a good omen!!" When Davers and his group came down from the mountain, the foot of the mountain had become a sea of ​​joy, as if they had won a battle.

Just as Davers led the First and Second Legions toward the Military Port, Secrean was mobilizing nearly 30,000 sailors before the war: "Brothers, you have worked hard for so long, and today we are finally going to fight the enemy at sea. Yesterday, I was invited by Davers... His Majesty to discuss the naval battle, and there were several legion commanders who were accompanied by them. They actually dissuaded His Majesty not to fight against the Syracuses at sea, saying, "Our Navy has just been formed, and has no experience, and it is impossible to be an opponent of the Syracuses at all.'. I argued with them, but they scolded them and said, "Our Navy has no achievements and is not qualified to talk to them..."

Seclian's words made the sailors angry, and he took the opportunity to shout loudly: "Fortunately, the wise King Davers said, 'He believes that the sailors of Dionia will fight bravely like civilians and bring victory to the alliance!'. Brothers, let us not let His Majesty down the expectations of His Majesty and use a brilliant victory to tell the proud army that we are also the heroes in the hearts of the people! With this victory, we can also obtain citizenship faster like legion soldiers (because a large part of the sailors are free people)! Get a distributed share faster! Brothers, for your better life in the future, let us do a good job and defeat the Syracuse Navy!"

"Defeat the Syracuse Navy!!!"

"Dionia's Navy wins!!!"

"His Majesty Davers is a great victory!!!"

...

The sailors, who were excited by Seclian's speech, raised their arms and shouted. The shouts made the people who were rushing to the coast look sideways. Even Davers, who was halfway through, heard their shouts and couldn't help but laugh: "The morale of the Navy is very high!"

Although he had some arguments with Seclian yesterday, before the fight began, Amintas also threw the small disputes behind him and said happily: "It's great, and we have increased our chances of winning."

"Now I order—" Seclian looked around the sailors, raised his breath and shouted loudly: "Tug the boat into the water!!"

The sailors immediately rushed to the dock where the warships they were responsible for.

Warships that do not fight normally are stored in dry docks, which regularly expose the sun, making shipworms that are extremely harmful to the ship cannot survive. At the same time, the rotten shipboard boards are replaced and maintained, thus ensuring the life of the warships. Therefore, the military port in Tuliyi is different from the commercial port. It has no wharf, but builds the river bank into an inclined causeway with a certain angle, and builds a dock on the causeway. After the warship enters the port, the sailors will drag the warships along the inclined surface of the causeway into the dry dock for storage.

Since the military port in Turiyi was built hastily and without careful planning in advance, not only is each dock simple to build, but it also occupies a short space. It extends from the Temple of Hera to the east to some river banks outside the market. The two sides of this section of Krati are densely arranged with large and small docks.
