Chapter 727 Alexis arrives urgently

Kristoya is almost 40 years old. As a mother of three children, although her skin is no longer as elastic as when she was young, she has maintained her figure well.

Davos could even smell the faint rose fragrance emanating from her body, which smelled very good. He knew that in recent years, Kristoya had learned from the Egyptians and added a little bit of it to hot water every time she took a bath. Milk, sprinkle rose petals, stir before use, now the effect seems obvious.

"Uh... first, let me talk about the underwear on the chest..." Davos said.

Although Kristoya felt a little weird, she tried her best to concentrate on listening. After listening, her eyes shone with shrewd light and she said excitedly: "This is really a divine thing given to us women by Aphrodite." ! I can’t wait to make them all, and then promote them to my friends at my party. I believe they will become popular in the kingdom soon!..."

Davos secretly praised her: after years of training, Kristoya has a very keen sense of business. It is indeed easy for these ladies of the kingdom to become fashion benchmarks.

He added: "You can try to modify the shape, color, and fabric of these underwear to meet the needs of different groups of people..."

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

After Alexis received Davos's appointment and received Davos's instructions and reminders, he hurried to the Ministry of Military Affairs and once again selected Umattheus as his adjutant.

Due to time constraints, he did not go home to say goodbye, and no colleagues came to see him off. Only his son-in-law Stepforos rushed to the dock of Thurii Port after hearing the news and wanted to see him off, but he had already sat down. Boarded the fast boat bound for the great port of Tarantum.

More than an hour later, the Clippers docked in the military port of Tarantum.This military port, where the main force of the Dionian First Fleet is stationed, is very lively on weekdays. It is a prosperous small town. However, the start of the Sicilian War caused the fleet to leave, making it a little deserted.

Alexis had no intention of paying attention to these. With the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs, he exchanged two war horses in the military port, and then galloped eastward towards Brindisi with Umattheus. His destination was The headquarters of the [-]th Cavalry Regiment.

Since the soldiers of the Fourth Cavalry Regiment come from the Pucheti and Messapian peoples, the military camp of the Fourth Cavalry Regiment is set up in the city of Brindisi, which is located between these two areas, also to facilitate the soldiers to come in peacetime. train.At the same time, the stationing of the cavalry corps is also beneficial to the defense of Brindisi, an important military town.

In the afternoon, Alexis arrived in Brindisi.

Brindisi is the only town in the Kingdom of Dionia that is designated as a military port, which means that the entire city serves around the military port.The people in the city are mainly sailors and family members of the Fourth Fleet, and a small number are soldiers and family members of the Fourth Cavalry Corps.Of course, it also has a chief executive, but this chief executive is not held by a senator, but by a mid-level administrator appointed by the Senate. When encountering some important or difficult problems in the city, he must work with the commander of the Fourth Fleet and the Fourth Fleet. The commander of the cavalry corps discussed the solution together.

The Port of Brindisi is an excellent deep-water port with a vast area that can accommodate thousands of ships at the same time. Davers classified it for military use. He actually had his own strategic considerations, but now the strategic center of the kingdom is To the north and south, the Port of Brindisi has not received major support from the kingdom, so the Fourth Fleet is also the weakest of the four fleets of Dionia, with only 60 triremes, and the total number of warships has just arrived. Hundreds of ships patrol the Adriatic Sea every day, and their main mission is to fight against pirates.However, although the Brindisi military port is small, it is fully equipped.

Alexis went straight to the station of the Fourth Cavalry Corps.

At the legion commander's residence, he met Pregulus, the commander of the Fourth Cavalry Legion, and Miltias, the naval commander of the Fourth Fleet, who had already heard the news.Before Alexis arrived, the Ministry of Military Affairs had already dispatched a messenger to quickly notify the legion commanders and fleet commanders in the east of the kingdom about the appointment of Alexis. Therefore, after the two saw Alexis, His expression was respectful.

"Commander Alexis!" Miltias, the naval commander of the Fourth Fleet, and Pregulus, the commander of the Fourth Cavalry Legion, both stood up and saluted him.

After Alexis returned the gift, he said directly without further ado: "Commander of the Pregulus Corps, the military situation is urgent now. Have your cavalry regiments been assembled?!"

Plaguelus, whose original name was Plague, was a Mesapean.Ten years ago, in the decisive battle between Daves and the Map coalition, he led the Messapian cavalry to cause greater trouble for the Dionysian army.After the Mesapei region was conquered and the Fourth Cavalry Corps was formed, he took the lead in leading his tribe to respond to the call. Because of his reputation, the Puchetti and Mesapei people enthusiastically signed up, and soon the quota for the cavalry regiment was full. , and there was a large surplus, which attracted the attention of the Ministry of Military Affairs and Davos, so that Plaigu, a foreigner who had just joined the Dionian army, just put on the shirt of the Dionian army. Appointed Captain of the [-]th Cavalry Regiment.A few years later, he took over the position of commander of the Fourth Cavalry Corps. His promotion was so fast that it was unprecedented in the Dionian Army.

On the one hand, this is because the Fourth Cavalry Corps is composed entirely of Messape and Puchetti people. It is more convenient for a Messapian to serve as the commander of the regiment; on the other hand, he is also a Messapian and Puchetti man. The benchmark of people in the Dionian army, to show that the Kingdom of Dionia is equal to all races.

Davos personally announced the appointment to Plegu, entertained him warmly at the palace, and had high expectations for him.

And Plagu did not live up to the trust of Davos. Soon after returning to Brindisi, he changed his name to Plagulus, a name similar to that of the Greeks, to show his devotion to the kingdom. loyalty.

"We have already assembled and are waiting for your orders!" Plaguelus replied confidently.As soon as the Samonites invaded, he got the news. Since in the previous plan of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Tenth Corps and the Fourth Cavalry Corps stationed in the Pucheti area had the task of assisting in the defense of the Dauni area, so he immediately Start to summon the cavalry under your command.

"Very good!" Alexis praised, and then issued an order: "Commander of the Pregulus Army, immediately gather your cavalry and prepare to go north. In addition, send your cavalry guard to carry out this order of mine. Send it to the Udiai military camp and hand it over to the commander of the Tagetilos Army."

With that said, Alexis handed over the paper order that had been written before departure to Plegulus. The content of this paper order was to let Tegtilos gather the Ninth Army to go north, and at the same time gather its preparations. Soldiers, garrisoning military camps, ensuring the security of the Mesapee area.

Before Plaguelus left the hall, Miltias couldn't wait to ask: "Commander, what is the mission of our fourth fleet?"

Two years ago, when Alexis led the army to attack Dauni, he had worked closely with the Fourth Fleet. He had a good relationship with Miltias, so he smiled and said: "The war has just begun, you don't have to be so anxious. "

"How can I not be anxious! The first and second fleets are fighting the Carthaginians in the south, and the third fleet is assisting the first legion in the north. Our fourth legion cannot just be idle spectators!" Miltias was anxious. said.

"This time, it's impossible for you, the Fourth Fleet, to be the spectators easily." Alexis said with a smile, handing him a piece of order from the Ministry of Affairs.

Miltias took it and looked at it with a surprised look on his face: "The Ministry of Military Affairs wants our Fourth Fleet to patrol the entire coastline from Messapei to Forentani, intercept any suspicious ships, and sink them if necessary!... I originally thought that the Fourth Fleet would only be responsible for transporting baggage and troops and protecting the coast of the Daoni area... I didn’t expect that the Ministry of Military Affairs would let the Fourth Fleet control such a long coastline!”

"Isn't this exactly what you expected? We don't only have Samonai as an enemy in Dionia. I took away the [-]th and [-]th legions. Mesapi and Pucetti areas are empty of troops, so we have to rely on your [-]rd legion. The fourth fleet is here to ensure the safety of the sea behind me!" Alexis said solemnly.
