Chapter 151 Pregnancy

Third, Crotone does not interfere with Castellon and becomes an ally of the Tua League, but Crimea must remain neutral. (After all, Crimea is very close to Crotone. Joining the Tua League is like a sharp knife in Crotone’s belly. Of course Lysias could not agree, and Marigi did not insist, because Tua League The Arab League did not have enough strength to help Crimea defend the enemy's attack, but Davers still decided to release the prisoners of Crimea half a year later in accordance with the redemption conditions signed with Crotone. The envoy of Sa thanked him profusely and promised: "I will no longer be an enemy of the Tua Alliance!")
Fourth, the Tua League must not form an alliance with Locri or sign any agreement against Crotone. (This was Lysias’s strong request, and Mariji was in trouble. In fact, Davos told him privately: “There are currently no plans to form an alliance with Locri, in order to avoid angering Crotone and causing the negotiation to abort.” Marigy used this as a bargaining chip to force Lysias to make concessions in other areas.)
Fifth, starting from the date of signing the agreement, Crotone and the Tua League will maintain peace for three years, and the agreement will be renewed depending on the situation after expiration.

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

The Crotone envoy returned to the mother state with the preliminary agreement. After confirmation by the council, their group entered the city of Thurii again.

The attentive Lysias noticed that there were no traces of smoke and fire on the walls of Thurii, and the collapsed areas had been repaired with newly built stone bricks and mortar. Like brand new.He was shocked by the high labor efficiency and enthusiasm of the Turiyi people. In fact, in his heart, he did not want to have any conflict with the Tua Alliance. However, before leaving, Milon repeatedly reminded him: Even if an armistice agreement is to be signed, it cannot be more than two days. Year.

Lysias understood: Most of the generals and council members in Crotone, led by Milon, were not reconciled to this failure, and they were also preparing to take revenge in the future!Crotone is well-known in Greece for its sports competitions, and the character of the people is also branded with the quality of an unyielding athlete. This is somewhat similar to the Amendolaras in the Tua League that he has been in contact with for more than two days.

Lysias sighed softly and led a group of people into Thurii's camp again.

Apart from changing the term to "two years", there are no major changes to the other contents of the armistice agreement.Both sides sacrificed animals to Apollo, each chanted the name of the god loudly, issued a sacred oath that "Crotone or the Tua Alliance will never violate the armistice agreement," and finally signed the names of their respective city-states and themselves. (Why sacrifice to Apollo? Because Crotone and the previous Thurii both worshiped Apollo as the patron saint of the city-state, which would allow both parties to abide by the agreement.)
The agreement was reached, Lysias was eager to return, and Davos and the others would not stay. Before sending Lysias on the ship, Davos said sincerely: "I hope Crotone and the Tua Alliance will never fight again. !”

Davos's sharp gaze made Lysias feel that Myron's tricks had already been seen through by the young consul, and he immediately said, "Apollo, this is also my sincere hope!"

Standing on the bow of the ship, looking at the still noisy construction site of Thurii City and the merchant ships coming and going at the estuary, Lysias left Thurii with full of worry...

Davos and his party watched Crotone's ships go away from the dock.

Cornelus let out a sigh of relief: "Now we are safe!"

"Yes, it's safe for now! I'm afraid Crotone will attack us in two years!" Kunogorata said calmly.

"That's right, otherwise they wouldn't specifically request to shorten the truce. Therefore, we must make full use of these two years to make the Tua Alliance stronger as soon as possible so that no force that covets us will dare to invade!" Dai Firth encouraged everyone.

"That's right!" Everyone was also aroused.

"Lord Consul, look at the compensation money in this armistice agreement -" Mariji immediately wanted to make a request.

Davos interrupted him and said: "All these reparations belong to the treasury and are kept by Melses."

Mercis suddenly beamed.

"Its use is planned, managed and spent by the Reconstruction Committee. Like the previously recaptured batch of materials, it will all be used for people's daily expenses, urban reconstruction and public construction. Any department that needs to spend money must report to the Committee Only after you submit an application and get approval can you get the funding, and the financial officer must take on the responsibility of supervision!”

After Davos finished speaking, Mersis winked at Mariji, making Mariji turn away so angry that he didn't want to see him.

"In addition, on the first day of every month, Merses, you must make a detailed report on the collection and expenditure of the treasury at the Senate meeting. If there are any mistakes, you will be fully responsible!" Davos said sternly said

"Yes." Mercis replied weakly.

"Alexis, go and tell the prisoners the contents of the agreement. The Crotones will not let these prisoners go mining, so we will let them build a road. Build a road connecting Heraclea, Amendolara, The highways of Thurii and Castellon, let the son of Heraclide, that..."

"Little Hercule."

"Yes, that's him. Let him be the commander of the entire road project. According to the previous drawings, he will lead a group of craftsmen to be responsible for supervision and management."

"Okay, Lord Archon." Alexis, the supervisor, responded.

"I can understand building a road connecting Heraclea, Amendolara and Thurii. Why connect it to Castellon? Since in two years, Crotone may launch an attack, Castro It's impossible to block it. Wouldn't it be easier for the enemy to advance by building a road?" Ansitanos asked doubtfully, and the other elders of Thurii showed concern.

Daves explained seriously: "Building the road to Castron, we will have more frequent personnel exchanges and trade flows with Castron, and the connection will be closer, and Castron will be even more inseparable." Drive us. With the road, our army and supplies can reach Castron faster. Castron is also our ally now, and we have the responsibility to maintain its safety, and Castron will be We defend the enemy's front line in the south. Of course, building roads will make it easier for the enemy to attack us, so we will try our best to keep the enemy out of the territory and prevent them from using our road."

Ansitanos and Cunogorata were thoughtful, while some of the others were greatly encouraged, while others were dubious...

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

After a busy day, Davos returned to his tent late at night, and found that there was another person waiting for him in the tent.

"Andrea, why are you here? Did something happen to Kristoya?!" Davos asked hurriedly.

Andrea bowed respectfully: "Dear Archon, Madam has seen that you are busy rebuilding the city of Thurii during this period. She doesn't want to disturb your work, but I think you should still tell this matter."

"What's the matter?!" Davos asked eagerly.

"In the past few days, Madam has been vomiting and couldn't eat. I wondered if she was pregnant. As a result, I asked Mr. Helps to check, and it turned out to be the case." As soon as Andrea finished speaking, Davos looked surprised. , and asked again: "Krystal, is she really pregnant?!"

It is true, my lord. "

"Great! Great!..." Davos was so excited that he hugged Andrea and spun around in circles several times, completely ignoring Andrea's shy look.

He shouted outside: "Martius! Martius!"

"Sir, what's the matter?" Martius walked in.

"Hurry up and get the horse, I want to go back to Amendolara!" Davos said eagerly.

"Sir, it's too late now. The road will be unsafe. Please go back tomorrow." Martius advised.

"I can't wait! Christia is pregnant! I'm going to be a father! I want to go back to see her immediately! Immediately!!" Davos said firmly and excitedly.

"Sir, congratulations! This is a gift from Hera! In this case, let's escort you back." Martius also said happily.

"it is good!"

A group of people rode out of the camp, and the rapid sound of horse hooves woke up many people in the camp: "Who is still riding in the camp so late? This is against the rules!"

"I heard that the Archon's wife is pregnant, and he is rushing home!"

"Really?! That's such a happy event!!"

Late at night, bursts of cheers came from the originally quiet camp.

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

Davos hurried home and went upstairs. He saw a little head sticking out of the door and looking out warily.

"Cynthia!" He picked up his little daughter and kissed her hard: "It's so late, why don't you go to bed? You want a spanking!"

"You woke me up." Cynthia wiped the saliva on her face with her little hand and complained with a pouted mouth.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I apologize to you." Davos smiled and touched her head and said, "Where is my brother?"

"Sleep in it."

"Where's mom?"

Cynthia hesitated and pointed to the master bedroom.

Davos put her down and patted her butt gently: "Go to bed." With that, he strode towards the master bedroom.

Christia was reading her account book under the oil lamp when she heard footsteps. She turned around and was surprised: "Why are you back?"

"If I don't come back, you'll keep hiding it from me, right?!" Davos said pretending to be angry, sitting next to Kristoya, hugging her with one hand, and licking her plump buttocks with the other. He patted me twice and said, "How dare you not tell me that we have a child? Do you think you should be punished?"

"You know everything." Christia put her arms around Davos' neck: "Andrea told you?"

"Fortunately, she told me in time!" Davos pointed at the thick account book on the table and blamed: "You don't care about your body and our children too much! From now on, these matters will be left to Andrea and others. If you do it, you can take good care of your body at home and let our children grow up healthily here!"

　Thanks to book friend Gu Jiaming of the Tianshui Clan for the reward!
　　Cheers to Davos as he is about to have a child of his own!
