Chapter 750 Farewell
"Go to Latium to be a judge?!" Kusnia was stunned and felt a little flustered for no reason: "Latium is so far away from us and there is a war going on. It is too unsafe for you to go there to be a judge! And... Moreover, the child is still so young, and I am taking care of it at home alone..."

"Nia, I know that if I go to Latium, it will be harder for you alone!" Pleka 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 court. If I want to become a formal judge, I am afraid it will take two or three years. And if I want to serve as the presiding judge of a town and try and handle cases alone, I still have to see if there are any vacancies... I was born as a captive slave of the kingdom. I have no rich family to rely on, and no high-status former master to provide help. I can only rely on myself! I can only do things that others are not willing to risk! Although it is dangerous to go to Latium, But I may be directly in charge of the court of a town. If I perform well, I may even get the attention of His Majesty Davos who is fighting in Latium... Maybe one day, I can also be like Lord Tritodemus, wearing a Let’s take on Bolton, who is wearing white robes with black trim (referring to becoming a senator)!”

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

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

In the leader's mansion in Abenirum, Gairni had just sent away the Dionysian messenger Karias, and his confidant Maioni entered the living room and saw Gairni leaning on a wooden chair with a heavy heart. , I don’t know what I was thinking, and asked hurriedly: “Chief, does the Dionia envoy come this time and ask us to attack Lesguk?”

To be honest, since the Samnites declared war on the Kingdom of Dionia, the Abenirum people caught in the middle have been the most uncomfortable.

The high priest of the Samnite Tribal Alliance personally came to Abenirum and reiterated the ancient and sacred tradition of Samnite to Gairni. After seeing Gairni swear a strong oath in the name of Savoni, he finally Leave with peace of mind.Therefore, the Abenirum people are very worried that the Dionians ask them to attack their own people, which will force them to destroy their ancient traditions and will be spurned by all Samoni people.

Gairni shook his head: "The Dionysians did not ask me to attack Lesguk, nor did they ask us to pass."

While Maioni breathed a sigh of relief, he asked doubtfully: "Since the Dionians understand us so much, what are you worried about, leader?"

Gairni sighed: "The Dionians believe that Lesguk has always been unfriendly to Dionia and is also the initiator of this war. It not only brought harm to Dionia, but also brought harm to Dionia. The Shilpini people have brought disaster, and they hope that... I can oust Lesguk and become the leader of Shilpini, restoring peace to Shilpini and Dionia..."

Maioni's eyes lit up and he said loudly: "Chief, this is a good thing! With the support of Dionia, you can easily regain the position of the leader of Shirpini that should belong to you!"

Gairni smiled bitterly and said: "Maioni, doing this is against tradition! What's more, Lesguk has the full support of several other tribal chiefs and high priests, and his position as chief leader is very stable!"

"Tradition?!" Maioni snorted angrily: "Back then Talesguk insisted on moving tribes to our Abenirum territory and directly appointed them as leaders. Isn't this a violation of tradition! He listed Siguke can do this, why can't we! It is precisely because he has the support of several other great chiefs and high priests that he wants to drive you away many times, if it is not for the help of the Dionians , Abenirum has long been occupied by the Beneventum people! This time, he took advantage of the war between Dionia and Carthage to incite all tribes to fight Dioria. If Dionia The demi-humans were defeated... Leader, I am afraid we can only take our people and flee to Dionia!"

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

"Chief, that will only increase the rejection and hatred of the Shilpini tribe and other tribes against us." Maioni stepped forward and suggested to him: "Lesguk incited the tribes to launch attacks on Dionia. The war has not yielded any benefits so far, but has killed and injured many soldiers. Don't these tribes have any complaints against him?! Especially our Shirpini, I heard that thousands of people have been captured... Now , The Dionians support you as the leader of Hirpini, I think they should hand over these thousands of people to you, the leader."

Garni was perked up after hearing the words, and pondered for a while, and then said cautiously: "We need to discuss this matter carefully... In addition, you go tell the envoy of Dionysia and ask him to come to Abeniru." Mu will stay for two more days, then I will have something important to discuss with him."

At the same time that Carias was on a mission to Abenirum, Tapirus also came to the city of Naconia in the Campania region. He also paid tribute to Quitini, the leader of Cavutini who was friendly to Dionia. Induk said: Dionia is willing to support him in becoming the chief of Kautini.

Although Quinduk had always been at odds with Segovani and had repeatedly claimed that Segovani had used trickery to take away the position of chief that should have belonged to him, but when Tapirus faced him, he However, he clearly expressed his refusal and claimed that Naconia was neither willing to declare war on its friendly ally Deionia nor was it willing to violate tradition and attack its own people with swords and guns. Naconia would remain unchanged in this war. neutral.

At dawn, Davos got up.

Agnes also woke up immediately.

"It's still early, you can sleep a little longer." Davos covered her with the quilt with concern.

"You are leaving soon, how can I sleep!" Agnes complained, and then shouted outside.

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

The two began to wash up and get dressed.

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

"Your Majesty, this is Little Crow's first time on the battlefield, you must take good care of him!" Agnes reminded with some worry.

"With him following me, there will be no danger, so don't worry." Davos comforted her with a smile.

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

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

The couple went downstairs lightly and came to the dining room, where they saw Kristoya and Klotokatuks waiting there.

"Klotto, did you sleep well last night?" Davos asked with a smile.

"Father, I couldn't fall asleep at first, but I was so sleepy later that I fell asleep in a daze. It was my mother who woke me up in the morning..." Clotokatax said embarrassingly.

"You are much stronger than when I first went into battle. I didn't sleep all night..." Davos encouraged him with self-deprecation.

"Klotto, you are following your father on the expedition this time, why should you be nervous?" Christoya interjected from the side.

"Mother, I'm not nervous, I'm excited! Because I can finally go on a real battlefield!..." Crotokatax defended with a blushing face.

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

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

"Hurry up and eat, Martius and Henepolis are still waiting for us at the bottom 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's milk, chewed a honey loaf, and ate a piece of fried sea fish...

Agnes had to say repeatedly: "Don't be impatient, Chloe, eat slowly!..."

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

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

Soon, Davos also put on his armor. He handed the helmet with a long black feather crown into his son's hands, and then hugged and kissed his two wives goodbye.

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

"Mother! Mother Agnes! I'm leaving, don't worry, I will come back safely!" Clotokatax also stepped forward to hug them, said goodbye obediently, and then mounted his horse.

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

Christoya and Agnes looked at the backs of the father and son leaving, unwilling to go back to the house for a long time...

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

The cold in the early morning drove away the drowsiness on his body and made Clotokatax refreshed. He couldn't help asking: "Father, when I arrive in Latium, will I have a chance to fight the enemy?"

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

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