Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Then the snare drum disappeared, followed by the sound of a long and powerful horn.

The blue team members also began to dance passionately in a loose formation. Their movements were weird and unrestrained. When they were excited, they screamed "ah! ah!" screaming, full of primitive wildness, making people breathe blood... …

When the trumpet stopped and the two team members lined up to salute the audience around, the cheers of the arena continued for a long time...

Theos was completely attracted by this novel and unprecedented opening style, so that he did not hear Dickpolis's voice clearly.

"Tios, which team do you hope to win?"

"Blue team!" Tios replied without thinking, and the blue team's wild dance attracted his attention.

"You actually want the Lucanias to win!" Dick Polis was surprised.

"The blue team is Niutum's team?!" Tios suddenly realized, no wonder the dance moves are different.

"Aren't you reading the game information posted at the entrance of the arena?" Dick Polis emphasized: "I support Amendolara! Many of its citizens are from Crete, including some of my friends (referring to Is the seventh brigade of the First Army)."

At this time, the players from both sides turned around, facing the VIP seats.In the tumultuous noises, Tios saw a man standing on the VIP seat.

"That's the only lifetime governor of the Dionysian Union, Davis!" Dick Polis's tone was both awe and a little jealous.

It’s not the same for Tios. He has a strong urge to see this legendary beloved.

I saw Davers wave his right hand down.

The sharp and sharp bronze bell sounded continuously, and the game began.

……………………

"Master Davis, there are more people coming to watch the game this afternoon than in the morning. According to the guards responsible for releasing people at the entrance, there are many businessmen from foreign countries." Mariji said excitedly: "It seems you The plan to use exciting competitions to attract the rich in the surrounding city-states to consume in Turiyi is entirely possible!"

Mercis was also very excited: "I just went outside the arena for a round, and beer, syrup, and dried fruit were almost sold out, and even the sun hats and linen cushions were sold a lot!"

"The main thing is the football game is too attractive!" Kunogolata, as the chief executive of Turui, he is also one of the heads of the competition. He participated in the organization, promotion and safety according to the instructions of Daveus. The preparations for various aspects of defense, competition, etc., personally developed the planned rugby game into a hot situation now, and he is also full of surprises in his heart: "Master Davis, I think that rugby games can be held regularly in the future, and can be charged, just Like watching a drama."

"Does the money for selling tickets go to the treasury?" Mercis asked urgently.

“Of course it’s the national treasury, but the players’ salaries and the injured players’ pensions have to be paid to encourage more people to actively invest in the sport, and the rest of the money is used to build more arenas, in Amendola Wa, in Niutum... Kunogolata, Cornelius, Marigis, Alexis, Mercis You five form the Rugby Athletic Committee, on how to further promote rugby sports, attract more Many foreigners came to watch and discuss, formulate more detailed and perfect plans, and speed up the implementation. After the sport becomes popular in Greater Greece in the future, we can also organize the Great Greek Rugby Games and invite the Great Greek city-state teams to participate in the competition !......"

The words of Davos inspired Kunogolata: there will be four sports with great influence in the Greek city-states in this era, and the Olympia Games hosted by the Ellis city-state in the Peloponnese Peninsula are the oldest and most sacred. , Mainly for the sacrifice of Zeus, the temple of Zeus in Olympia is a holy place for the Greeks (one of the seven ancient miracles); the isthmus games held by Corinth, mainly for Poseidon; the Piosia region is famous for Delphi in Greece The Pisia Games hosted by the temple to celebrate the sun god Apollo; and the Nemean Games hosted by the Argos who pretended to be the blood of the noblest king in ancient times, also commemorating Zeus.In addition, there is also the Pan Athena Festival held in Athens to commemorate the war and the goddess of wisdom, Athena, which also has great influence, and it not only has sports, but also competitions such as music, poetry, and drama.Whenever these celebrations are held locally, celebrities from all over Greece gather there, and the eyes of all the Greeks are focused there, earning a huge reputation for the host.If the rugby game develops well, holding a large Pan-Greek rugby game to commemorate Hades, not only can it expand the influence of the Dionysian Union, but also allow Kunogolata to remain famous and get the gods. Favored.

Daveus saw that several of them were in a trance and shortness of breath, vaguely guessing what they were thinking, and his heart was also imaginative: the Roman gladiator game in the past history is famous in the Mediterranean, and his Dionysian league does not need to be so bloody. , Cruel and inhumane barbaric projects can still entertain the public, inspire the citizens' arrogance, and they can do better!In addition to rugby, basketball can be held in the future... basketball doesn't seem to work, the requirements for the ball are too high, can the current technology do it?…Football might be okay, go back and let leatherworker Torricas try to do it...

"Scored! The touchdown scored! Tigtinos is a good one!" Amintas and Matonis shouted in excitement as they watched the game. They clink each other to celebrate.

"Go and buy me another beer." Amintas said to the slave attendant.

"Master, the beer outside has been sold out, no more."

"No more?" Amintas immediately turned around and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Master Daveus, your beer is delicious and the production is too low!"

Dave Si smiled bitterly, it seemed that the beer workshop should be expanded again, and thinking of this, he remembered another thing.

"Everyone!" he said aloud: "You should all know, recently my wife bought the land of the hot spring marsh north of Turi."

Burkos nodded for the first time. As the agricultural officer, he handled the procedures for selling the land by himself. At that time, he also advised Christoya: The place where mosquitoes breed, except for a few hot springs, can neither grow land, nor Don't build houses, don't waste money to buy.

“I’m going to build a large hot spring bath there to attract businessmen from Greater Greece and the people of Dionysian to take a bath for leisure, because it involves the draining and filling of swamps, the storage of hot springs, and the diversion of the Tino River , And the construction of the bath... Need a lot of capital investment, are you willing to cooperate with me to invest in this hot spring bath?" Dafusi sincerely sent an invitation to the elders.

Bathing?!The Greeks of this era did not have the good habit of bathing in ancient Romans. They lived a simple life and did not like to take a bath. If the body is too dirty, apply olive oil to the whole body, scrape it with a special tool, and then rinse Just wash it with water.So many elders are hesitant about this new thing.

Mariji, who has enjoyed the luxurious life of Persia, first shouted: "I! I want to invest!" Mariji often discusses the alliance's trade development with Daveus. Of course, he knows the young executive's ability in business, not to mention anything else. The business of Cristobal Banks, restaurants, and breweries is so prosperous that Daves has contributed greatly.

"I! And me!" Mercis is also a person who understands Davers' business skills.

"I'm also going to invest some money," Kunogolata and Cornelius said successively. As the two chief executives who often discuss city-state management with Davers, of course they have an understanding of Davis' capabilities.

"We also joined." Hilos, Matonis, Amintas, Antonios, Alexis and other former mercenary leaders even blindly trusted.

Except for several Turriy veterans such as Burkes and Ansitano who are willing to invest a small amount of money to express their support, other Turiy veterans such as Polyxis and Enanillos made it clear that they are not optimistic about this hot spring bath.

Amendolara veterans such as Scombrus, Stromboli, who also did not believe in the profitability of hot spring baths, instead supported Dave who was regarded as an Amendollar because of the disapproval of the Turiris. Sri Lanka.

Weisba didn't understand this at all, but he understood that he was only in a weak position in the Senate, and he only followed Davers.

It was originally just that for the purpose of business, Davers raised funds for the elders and tied their interests together, which further promoted the harmony of the elders. As a result, the elders showed their attitude towards him.

………………………

Theos stared at the field intently, the game was indeed very exciting, beyond his imagination.

He originally thought: whether this ball game is similar to a stone ball throwing game in Sparta, now it seems completely incomparable.

Dickpolis supported the Amendolara team, but he did not know why he hoped that the Nytutum team would win from the bottom of his heart, but now the score is already 3:0, and Nytutum is behind.

Tios was anxious and secretly cheered for Niutum.

Now it’s Niutum’s blue team to attack. The Amendola Red team obviously cooperates with the tacit understanding and knows how to use tactics. They cut off the blue team’s passing line and pushed him to the sideline. The famous red team rushed straight up.The blue team had no room to dodge the team members, so they had to struggle to pass the ball from the crotch to the rear before being thrown down. The blue quarterback was quick and quickly came forward to receive the ball. Two red team players immediately confronted He formed a sandwich...

Just as Tios yelled "Oops!", the blue team quarterback made an arrow, using a strong body to hit the front of the red team members who were unsteady and threw the football hard.
