Chapter 475 Gossip
"Mom, I saw Dad, he is so majestic!" After little Cloo went to hug his mother Agnes, he happily ran to Christoya.

"That's right!" Kristoya looked at her son and smiled softly: "Then do you want to become a good general like your father?"

"I think!" Little Crowe nodded seriously.

"I will be a brave general like my father in the future!" Adoris also shouted from the side.

Kristoya smiled and held the two of them in her arms, and said: "If you want to become a general when you grow up, you need to study seriously in school and participate in training seriously from now on, so that you can become a general in the future. General, do you know?"

"I will," Adoris said immediately.

"I can do it too!" Little Crowe imitated his elder brother.

"Did your father return to the military camp after winning?" Christoya asked again with concern.

"No, my father followed the fleet to the north. I heard from brother Heni that my father led the army to take the opportunity to repel the invading Tarantum people..." Cynthia replied.

Hearing this, Crystal became a little worried again.

"Don't worry, Christoya. Your Majesty, he will definitely come back victorious!" Andrea hurriedly comforted her.

"Yes, madam." Azuna also interjected: "Now Hades is protecting your majesty, but your majesty has never lost a battle!"

Kristoya hugged the two children and smiled: "If we can repel the Tarantum people, Thurii will be completely safe."

"Yes, for the safety of the people of the alliance, His Majesty did not even have time to return home and fought hard continuously. If the gods did not bless him, who else could they bless!" Andrea praised Davos non-stop, and then she Thinking of something, he turned around and shouted: "Umattheus, don't squat there, come here and meet the children who know Aunt Crystal. Didn't you always say that no one will play with you?"

Andrea shouted several times, and then she heard an "oh" in the garden, and a child stood up from the flowers and grass, with a bit of embarrassment and shyness on his face.

When Little Crow saw it, he immediately broke away from his mother's arms, ran over quickly, raised his head and looked at him: "Brother, what were you looking at just now?"

"...Ant." Umattheus spat out a word awkwardly.

"See what the ants mean, let's find Herney to play with the ball!" Adoris also rushed over and said.

Umattheus was a little hesitant, and Little Crow stepped forward to hold his hand and urged: "Brother, let's go play together."

Umattheus nodded involuntarily.

Several children jumped to the front yard.

"I'll go take a look too." Cynthia said and followed out.

"Cynthia really looks like a big sister now!" Andrea looked at Cynthia's back as she went out, her eyes flashing.

"They have all grown up, and we are also old!" Kristoya sighed with emotion, and then she asked with concern: "Andrea, Umattheus is already so old, why is he still acting like a child?! "

"Hey!" Andrea sighed, sadness creeping up her face: "You know, that man (referring to her ex-husband) was not good to me and the children. He often beat and scolded me, and Umattheus suffered from it since he was a child. After being frightened, he has always been timid...Bagule is good to Umattheus, but...the Lucanians all like brave children, and Umattheus's temperament...gets along well with Bagule It’s not very good, and in Grumentum...the kid Umattheus doesn’t like to go out, so...he has no friends there..."

"Your little son should be almost three years old. Why didn't you bring him here with you today?" Christoya asked instead.

"His grandfather (referring to Weisba) hasn't seen him in two years. He just came back yesterday and has been with him all the time. He couldn't bear to let him out." Andrea said helplessly.

"It seems that the care your two children receive at home is very different..." Christoya said meaningfully.

"Alas!..." Andrea sighed again, her face full of sadness.One is a stepson with an unpleasant personality; the other is a parent-child, and it is obvious who Bagule's family likes them more.But in Andrea's heart, she loves her eldest son even more. After all, this child has been with her during her most difficult time and is her spiritual support. She knows well the sensitivity of Umattheus's heart, and her new family The estrangement against him will only make him more introverted, but as a mother, she can't find a good way to solve it.

"Don't worry." Kristoya comforted her friend softly. She looked at the open door to the backyard and said, "I think Little Crowe likes Umattheus, and Umattheus is also willing to follow him." He plays along."

"Yeah, I'm surprised too. This kid doesn't usually agree to other people's requests easily. Although little Chloe is young, she has a charm that makes people want to get close to her!" Andrea was half complimentary and half happy. said.

"I have a suggestion." Kristoya said seriously: "You might as well let Umattheus live in my house. I have many children here, and they are about the same age. They go to school and play together. Si will not feel lonely, and his character will become more active... What do you think?"

Hearing Christoya's words, Andrea was a little moved: This is the residence of the new king of Dionia, who in the entire alliance can have such an honor!
But as a mother, she still instinctively refused: "Madam, thank you for your concern for this child Eumathaus, but this is too—"

As soon as she finished speaking, a deafening cry of "Wow! Wow! Wow!..." came from the cart next to Crystal.

"You see, even little Eunice agreed to let Umattheus stay." Christoya smiled.

...............................

Several children ran to the front yard, but found no trace of Heripolis. Finally, Aristelas told them: "His Majesty Davos asked him to go to the military camp, saying that he had something important to tell him. "

When the children were disappointed, Cynthia asked, "My father is back?"

"Yes, His Majesty led the army to annihilate Tarantum's invading army and has returned to the military camp!" Cynthia saw that Aristelas, who usually had a serious expression, looked a little excited at this moment.

Several children were already shouting excitedly: "Victory! Father wins again!..."

They rushed back, eager to tell Crystal the news of their victory.

....................................

It was dusk when Davos returned to the military camp.

Two consecutive victories made the entire city of Thurii rejoice, especially when the people saw thousands of Tarantum soldiers and Syracuse sailors naked and tied up like strings. Like pigs and sheep, they were escorted to the copper mine and stone mine in Turiyi respectively. The queues were several miles long.The people stood on both sides of the road, shouting curses and throwing stones at him. Most of the gloom that had been shrouded by the war disappeared in their hearts.

Many people actually lit bonfires in Victory Square, sang and danced around the miraculous Tuli Fountain, thanking Hades for his blessing, and cheering "King Davos is victorious!"

When the patrol asked Kunogorata, the administrator of Thurii, for instructions: Should they be dispersed so as not to disturb the order in the city and disturb others' sleep?
Kunogolata, who had always been strict, smiled tolerantly and said: "Let them dance and make trouble. Tuliyi hasn't been so happy for a long time, but you have to maintain order."

"Yes!" The patrol leader left excitedly.

..........................................

Compared with the people who had been partying all night long, the vast majority of the soldiers who had just returned to the military camp were already exhausted from the hard battles and fell asleep as soon as they entered the tent.

Davos was also in trouble, because he had something important to deal with, and he had to cheer up.

But when Martius walked into the big tent, Daves had already fallen asleep on the table.

Martius saw that he was sleeping soundly. Thinking of the hard work of today's battle, Martius couldn't bear to wake him up. He hesitated in the tent for a long time, and then stepped forward again: After all, it was so late, and Davos still had Hector. Neapolis called, there must be something important!As the captain of Davos's guard, it is his duty to upload and distribute, so he can't delay important matters!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Davos opened his eyes hazy.

"Your Majesty, Henepolis is here." Martius whispered.

"Heney? ...Oh, yes." Davos came back to his senses and quickly asked, "How long has he been here?"

"Just arrived."

"That's okay." Davos rubbed his numb cheek vigorously and said, "Let him come in."

"Yes." Martius just turned around and was stopped by Davos: "Why are you on duty?!"

"I let the others go to bed first."

"What a mess! You have just recovered and your body has not fully recovered yet. How can you not take care of your body like this! Go and have a good rest immediately and ask other soldiers to come on duty, otherwise you will not follow me tomorrow. Go home. Go and recuperate!"

When Davos got angry, Martius didn't dare to argue any more, and obediently left the tent.

As soon as Henipolis entered the big tent, he expressed his emotions excitedly: "Davos... Your Majesty, congratulations on winning the naval battle and annihilating Tarantum's army. This is simply incredible." How amazing! In one day, you achieved such a brilliant victory. I really should have refused your request and should not have come back to Mrs. Christoya in advance to report your current situation and the reason for not going home. I should have always insisted on Stay with you so I can witness the entire battle..."

"I can tell you the whole process of the battle in detail." Davers interjected.
