There were a few **** wounds on Sekerian's broad back. What caught Midolades's most attention was that his dark skin, which had been exposed to the wind and the sun all the year round, was white and miserable at the moment, making the heart palpitating.

"How is his condition?" Midolades asked worriedly the doctor next to him who was dispensing the medicine.

The doctor looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered with a serious expression: "...not very good, he has many arrows in his body, bleeding too much, and soaking in the sea for too long..."

Midolades was shocked and wanted to ask again, but heard a weak voice in his ears: "...Miduo...you are here...how is the battle going?"

Midolades looked around, but saw that Sekelian, who had been motionless before, was looking at him with his godless eyes.

"Doctor, he...he is awake!" Midolades said with joy.

"Not long after being sent here, he woke up and kept asking about the situation of the naval battle..." The doctor sighed and said, "Go and tell him quickly, lest he keeps worrying about this and it affects his recovery."

Midolades walked to the head of the bed, squatted down, thought about it, and knelt on the ground again, so that he and Sekelian would be able to speak with less effort.

But before he could speak, Sekelian smiled first: "...It's not easy. It's not easy to get the proud Second Fleet Commander to kneel. It seems that I will be injured more in the future..."

Midolades looked at his abnormally dry lips, and said in a deep voice, "If I were you, I will calm down and listen carefully, so that my body can recover faster."

Cyclion rolled his eyelids and stopped talking.

Midolades said in a deep voice: "According to rough statistics after the war, we sank more than 160 warships and captured nearly 350. The Persian fleet suffered heavy losses. Of course, we also paid a lot of money. , A total of 218 warships were sunk...Thanks to you leading the small number of warships to hold on offshore, which bought us time and also dragged down the enemy’s physical strength and morale, we will win more easily. Now Persia The fleet has been completely defeated, and the dominance of the entire Near East waters will be controlled by us!"

Secorian showed a look of relief: "...We finally did not live up to your Majesty’s expectations... It’s a shame to say that I didn’t see the results of this great naval battle with my own eyes... Hey, miss me Secorian I have always been accustomed to offensive... The first time I fought a defensive operation, I suffered a failure... I am still not as good as you in this respect...

Midolades said earnestly: "I just said that it is because you face a Persian fleet that is several times your own, and resolutely choose to stick, that makes us win a big victory. This glorious victory is It was done under your command! Because of this victory, the powerful Dionian fleet cannot have any chance of defensive operations from now on!"

Sekelian stared at his colleague blankly. After a while, his pale face showed a look of fear: "...Middo, am I getting old?... The same as Syracuse back then. Fighting the navy...My ship was also sunk...I fell into the sea and also shot an arrow in my shoulder... But it was only after a dozen days of rest... But now... But now... I can move except above the neck...I...I...not feel the presence of my hands and feet..."

When Midolades heard this and wanted to comfort him, he was anxious but didn’t know what to say, but he heard the doctor behind him reminded: “This general, I’m going to give the patient medicine, in order not to affect the treatment. Please go back first, and visit him later."

"You take a good rest, you will get better!" Midolades had to stand up, grab Seklian's hand and give him a strong grip, trying to encourage him, but the coldness of the opponent's palm shocked him. .

Sekerian couldn't raise his head to look at him, so he could only say softly: "Miduo... the fleet will ask you... take care of my brothers..."

"Don't worry, I will!" Midolades replied solemnly.

When he left the hospital bed and saw the doctors and nurses surrounding him and covering Sekelian's figure completely, an unspeakable sorrow rose in his heart...

The vast majority of Dionian troops that landed in Egypt have moved to the realms of Pe-Rameses and Dafinai, and only the First Army is still stationed in Memphis because King Daves is still here.

As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Daves should have stayed with the large army. He did this in the past, but this time is different. The Kingdom of Dionia has just annexed Egypt, although Asistus has been appointed. To govern Egypt, but the presence of King Dionia here will undoubtedly make the handling of various government affairs smoother and more conducive to the smooth transition of Egypt. Therefore, Daves seized the intermittent time of this period of war to help Asistes solved some difficult problems. At the same time, he appointed Alexis to Dafinai to temporarily take charge of the army for him, and let Felicius, Epithenis and others assist him in managing military affairs, planning and preparing for the raid. In the implementation of the island of Cyprus, this group of retired old people who originally just went with him to Persia were once again given the sole responsibility of him.

After the start of the military raid on Cyprus, waiting for the result is an arduous process, especially for such a major military operation, so Daves has not slept well these days.

On this day, at the strong request of Hernipolis, Daves took a walk in the garden to relax after having dinner.

The garden of the Pharaoh’s Palace in Tarib is vast, and a large artificial lake was dug in the center. Water from the Nile River was introduced. Various aquatic plants such as lotus and lotus were planted in the lake. Various cut-off wings were also stocked. Wild ducks, wild geese, and even the rare hippos...and all kinds of rare trees and flowers are planted around the artificial lake, and there are even some ostriches.

At this time, it is spring, and the garden is full of flowers, colorful, birds and insects, which are very lively. Strolling on the flat road by the lake, breathing the moist air with the fragrance of plants and trees, makes people feel refreshed and relieved.

Daves couldn't help but sighed, "This is a really good place! Kristia and Agnes should be allowed to stay here for a while!"

"Your Majesty, hasn't General Prosius led the Greek Allied Forces to completely defeat the Persian Asia Minor army? I believe that Miletus will be forced to surrender soon, and the two princesses can first come to Memphis to stay for a while, and then go to Miletus... …" As Daves’ court clerk and his personally authorized biographer, Hernipolis knew Daves’s family affairs better.

Daves shook his head: "We haven't defeated the Persian fleet yet, and we haven't fully grasped the dominance of the Eastern Mediterranean. They can't come for the time being, it's not safe."

Hernipolis hated himself for talking, and accidentally reminded His Majesty the King of the ongoing war. He was thinking of some way to divert the King’s attention, but he heard Daves shouting: "Don’t stop it, let Come here!"

It turns out that an ostrich may be curious, and even boldly walked towards Dafus. The guards came forward and wanted to drive it away, but Dafus stopped it.

The ostrich is only a juvenile, but its height is about the same as that of an adult. With long slender legs, it walks straight to Daves, its big eyes flickering, and it looks at the newcomer curiously. The king of Upper and Lower Egypt looks very cute, but makes the guards and entourage around him nervous.

Davers couldn't help reaching out his hand to it, and it immediately retreated alertly.

Daves smiled and said softly, "Don't be afraid."

The ostrich seemed to understand it, stopped backing, blinked its big eyes, tilted its head to the left, tilted its head to the right, and then walked up cautiously, and lightly pecked Davers's palm with its long beak. Seeing that Davers did not respond, he pecked again and again.

The guards immediately yelled loudly, and the ostrich felt scared and immediately turned and ran away.

"It's just a bird, what's to worry about, it just pecked my hand just now." Davers complained intently.

"Your Majesty, do you want the guards to catch an ostrich for you?" Hernipolis asked quickly.

Davers waved his hand: "Don't do that, just watch them play and run freely in this garden, that's interesting! Thanks to your suggestion, it's really interesting to stroll around in this garden! —"

Daves was talking, and his smile suddenly solidified, because he saw a guard hurriedly running from the direction of the palace.

"Report to your Majesty, the battle report urgently sent from Naukrates!"

Daves immediately took the papyrus scroll tied with black rope, and couldn't wait to open it. After reading it, his face was uncertain.

"Your Majesty, this is—" Hernipolis felt nervous.

"Our fleet defeated the Persian fleet, and the army successfully landed in Cyprus~www.novelbuddy.com~ This is a happy event! But... Your Majesty, you don't seem to be very happy..."

"It was said in the battle report that Sekelian was seriously injured and was completely paralyzed and unable to move..." Daves said in a low tone.

The soldiers and their entourage who had cheered on hearing the news of victory immediately fell silent, and they followed Davers on the path by the lake in silence.

After a long time, Daves stopped and said, "Heney, get ready to record."

"Yes!" The entourage immediately gave Hernipolis pen and paper, and moved the wooden stool, and then the guards retreated a long distance with the entourage and set up a cordon.

"Notify Midolades that after Sekerian's condition is stable, he will be returned to Turyi safely as soon as possible, and all the doctors in Turye Hospital will do their best to treat him. Hope...he can heal! "Daves sighed lightly: "At the same time, write to the Ministry of Military Affairs and ask Olivers and Printoles to discuss erecting the statue of Secorian in front of the building of the Ministry of Military Affairs and naming the First Fleet Sekelian. The possibility of the fleet."
