Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The Greek soldiers on the field also seemed to hear the cry, immediately put on their helmets, picked up their round shields, put on their red cloaks, and formed a tight square formation to fight against the enemy's attack...

However, there were too many "Persians" and they swarmed to surround the warriors.The cavalry galloped back and forth, the archer shot the arrow continuously into the sky (all the arrows were cut off), and the infantry laughed outlandishly...

The audience can only see the dazzling red and the roar of the warriors from the gap surrounded by "Persians".

The drums are getting denser and louder...

The Greek phalanx also stepped back step by step under the attack of the "Persians", and it soon retreated to the edge of the square...

Ordinary people's eyes were completely attracted by the tense scenes on the field. Someone shouted anxiously: "Fight! Greeks!"

Actually resonated with the audience.

"Fight!!! Greeks!!!" The audience also began to shout loudly.

At this moment, the high-pitched singing sounded again, "Hadis" somehow stood at the front of the platform, slowly waving the double-stranded fork...

The surrounded Greek soldiers suddenly shouted out neatly and vigorously: "Oh! Ooh! Hades!!! Ooh!..." A dozen trumpets also sounded at the right time.

The "Persians" started to retreat and finally collapsed...

The red phalanx of the Greek mercenaries was fully displayed in front of the audience. In the rhythm of the drums, they took a uniform and powerful pace and charged forward like an iron wall...

It made the people on the scene look bloody, and those people and VIPs who had not seen the military training of Dionysia and had not participated in the military training were also overwhelmed by the strength and beauty shown by the soldiers on the field, cheering and applauding loudly.

"General Persian" fell behind and was dragged off by the forward "Daveus". He stepped on "General Persian", raised his spear high, and pierced it with exaggerated and infectious movements. The chest of the "enemy".

"Daveus! Daveus!!! Daveus!!!!!!" The people burst into thunderous cheers.

"The old consul said before, let us see a completely different temple celebration, he really did it!" Mariji standing behind the platform glanced at the senate colleagues in the surroundings with different expressions and exclaimed loudly.

"Yeah, it's a very different celebration! Lord Davis fears that the public will forget his previous heroic deeds, and he will not forget to advertise himself on such a sacred occasion!" Pollux said ecstatically.

Kunogolata and Cornelius looked at each other and did not speak, but they were a little uneasy.

"It's true! Didn't you find it! This will be a new drama, a drama different from one or two people, but a performance of hundreds of people to reproduce the spectacular scene of history! "" On the contrary, Ansitanos danced with excitement, some words were incoherent, and Daphes enlightened him.

The wonderful chorus, the accompaniment of the music, the close-to-real battles and performances of hundreds of people... really shocked the audience on the sidelines, and even the elders of the Senate.

"I'm looking forward to the next performance!" Mercis heartily praised him, which reminded him of the troubled years in Persia. His words are also the common voice of the former mercenaries.

It's just that Amintas whispered and whispered, "The battle scene is too fake!"

"Did't you listen to Ancitanos? It's acting, but it's not a real battle. Look at the excited people. Daveus is telling them our heroic deeds in this way of acting!" Whispered criticism to Amintas.

"It should be Oliver, playing Davers, it's really good! The Persian general played by Ledes is not good, like a wood!..."Epithenis's interesting comments attracted these former mercenary veterans They are also involved.

Next, "Hades" led the mercenaries to Greater Greece, the Lukarias invaded Turriy, and the mercenaries defeated the Lucanian coalition...

A group of Lukalia, such as Wesbah and Hermon, watched the square with anxiety.

Obviously, taking into account their feelings, Davers only considered the harm caused by the Lucanias to the Turiris, and instead focused on the last scene: accompanied by cheerful and enthusiastic singing and drumming, " "Hades" let "Davers" lead the Greeks and the Lucanias to reconcile. They wrestled, fought sheep, drank wine, talked their arms together, and finally joined hands to form a big circle, and "Hady "Si" standing in the center of the circle.Everyone sang the Hades carols, kicked their arms, and continued to expand and shrink the circle. The atmosphere was very warm, attracting people from outside the venue to participate, Hades carols resounded throughout the city...

As the Lord of the Underworld, Hades is rumored to be dark and brutal, so it is far less popular among the Greeks than the main gods such as Zeus, Poseidon, and Apollo.Kanyos likes and dislikes Hades in the same way as other Greeks, so he was surprised when he heard that Dionysia was going to use Hades as the patron saint of city-state alliances.But when he was absent at first, he is now attracted by the wonderful performances on the square, and he has a good impression on Hades. He can't help following everyone to sing Hades.

Not only him, the leaders of Lucaria who only worshipped the god of Asinu used the strange and rigid Greek to ask the meaning of the lyrics of others, and some even hummed, compared to the majority of Dionysian people who are forgetful Dedication, these invited VIPs of the Southern Italian League were all thinking about their own hearts, and some people even looked forward to Dionysia's appearance in the celebration, such as Crotone.

But at this moment, Crotone chief general Lucias, who was also shocked by this unprecedented ritual celebration in Greece, sighed: "It seems that the faith of Hades will really be among these Dionysians. The roots are here."

"Hera and Apollo, which the Greeks in the Western Mediterranean most believe in, and the dark Hades only do this with the barbarous outsiders like Dionia!" Askamas said indignantly, his My friend Milon was expelled because he lost to Dionysia, and there was some resentment in his heart.Moreover, Crotone has the most magnificent temple of Apollo in Greater Greece, and often Greeks from other cities come to worship, so although the square performances surprised him, he still complained with confidence: "Look, it is almost noon. Now, the weather is so hot, when will we go to see the Temple of Hades?!"

"Yes, my legs are almost numb!" Another general Crotone's seemingly joke caused a commotion among the VIPs.

"Dang!!!" The powerful and long bell suddenly sounded, causing a shock to the heart of the people who were frightened by the end of the performance.

"Look, look, Temple of Hades!" someone in the crowd exclaimed constantly.

In the northwest of Victory Square, on the hill behind the Great Hall of the Senate, the buildings that were half-covered by scaffolding and large pieces of linen in the early morning were fully revealed when the people concentrated on the square performance. Its true face: a towering, magnificent white building shining brightly in the hot sunlight!

Pleacinus led, 50 white robe maidens, followed by the elders of the elders, VIPs of the city-states, the people on the north side of the square, the people on the south side of the square...Under the orderly guidance of the soldiers, people orderly directed towards Hades The temple is moving forward...

The bronze bell was still struck without any hassle, with a clearer and lower sound than one, calming people's urgent mood.

The Temple of Hades is getting closer and closer, and it is more clear in the eyes of the people: this is a very unique temple, its height is no different from other temples, but its length is greater than the largest gram in all the major Greek city-states. The Temple of Apollo in Rotone is twice as long.More importantly, as the seat of the guardian temple of the city-state, it is also a city-state center according to tradition. It must be surrounded by walls to protect it and become the acropolis of Turri, just like the former temple of Apollo in Turri.However, the hillside in front of it not only has no city walls, but also has stone steps from the east, west, south and north, which can easily reach the temple.

Anta Oris, who had not joined the senate for a long time, asked curiously Cornelius who had been with him well during this time: "Why does this new temple have no walls?"

Cornelius seriously replied: "This is the proposal of Lord Davos. He believes that without building a wall, the people can freely sacrifice and pray in the temple to show Hades’s Fraternity!"

Daphes is the vassal of Hades, the high priest of the temple. There is generally no objection to the proposal of the temple of Hades. Antaoris looks at the temple in front. The centuries-old tradition still gives him heart Doubts: "But in this way, Turriy has no acropolis!"

Cornelius sighed, and his expression became a little strange, saying: "Admiral Davers insists not to build the Acropolis in Tuririy, he said such a thing--" Speaking of which, this gentleman has always been gentle The Chief Executive of Amendolara was a little bit more stiff in his voice: "'The cities in the Dionysian Union are the walls of the Union, and Turiri is the Acropolis of the Union. Dionysia does not need extra guards. city!'"

After listening to this sentence, Antaoris froze for a moment: the city as a wall?!Treat the entire region as a city?!... There is a spirit of pride in his heart. The figure of the young consul in his mind can't help but be fascinated: what a heart and spirit he is, no wonder he can build a powerful city-state alliance!

People climbed up the stairs. At about 30 meters from the temple, the civilian soldiers formed a circular cordon. People stood outside the line, and the whole hill was crowded. Except for the white point on the top, it almost became A "human mountain".
