Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

After having lunch with St. Floros, Patroclus ran to the Temple of Athena, not far from the school.

This temple was built by the people here to thank Athens for the great help they provided to rebuild the city of Turi (the original patron saint of Turi was Apollo).After the Peloponnesian War, Turiyi forcibly cut off relations with Athens and expelled the Turiyis of Athenian descent. The number of people who come here to pray is far fewer, and even now there are very few.

Children like to play rugby and football games on the small, empty square in front of the temple.In these sports, Patroclus is a small star, because at the age of 13, he is far superior to other children in terms of strength, speed, and agility. Everyone loves to be with him.

But in the past few days, neither he nor Stiflos was interested in playing, and the two children were lying on the wall of the temple and bored and throwing stones at the Koseni River.

"Steve Flos, I haven't seen my father for almost two months. I tell you, this is the first time I have been separated from my father for so long since I was young, and I don't know how he is now..." Patroclusus stared blankly at the running river and said with a bit of concern and a little bit of complaint: "Last time. When their first legion passed by Turi, Lord Davis didn't let them go home! They walked so fast, I tried desperately to catch up after class, but I didn't catch up..."

Stevies grinned broadly: "I heard my father say that the requirements of being a soldier in the legion are very strict, much stricter than the requirements of our school. If it is violated, it will be spanked. Your father is afraid of being beaten. Butt, of course I dare not run to see you!"

Patroclusus glared at him: "I don't think you worry much about your father."

Stiflos stopped throwing stones into the river and reminded loudly: "I told you that Amintas was not my biological father! But... he was very kind to me and my mother..."

Steve Ross thought for a while, and said, "He often tells me stories of fighting with the great Davos when he was in Persia. He is a hero, I like him very much, I believe him Nothing will happen! Because the battle under the command of the great Davos has never failed!"

His optimism infected Patroclus: "You are right, the Dionysian Army is invincible!"

At this time, a child happily ran into the temple: "Good news! Good news!..."

"Proclus, what good news makes you so happy?!" The children stopped the game and looked at him one after another.

"Cheers, classmates! Under the leadership of my father, the Third Army has wiped out the invading Picoxis!" Procles shouted excitedly.

"Is this true?" Patrolos asked hurriedly.

"Of course it is true!" Procles raised his head: "I don't believe you go to the city of Turui, the whole city is cheering!"

"No one doubts this victory, but the victory comes mainly from the commander of the Davos Constituent." Steve Flores saw Procles excited and remembered that his adoptive father had not yet heard any news back, could not bear it Live grabbed a sentence.

Procles was speechless for a moment, staring fiercely at Steffros, and couldn't help shouting: "Anyway, my father is commanding the troops in Grummentum, and what is your father doing now?"

This time it was Steffros's speechlessness.

Just when the two were fighting, the other children were already cheering: "Great, victory!"

"Dionysia!"

"Legion Legion!"

...

The cheering children began to line up in accordance with the military actions of the instructors and professors, and played a "triumphant" game. Proclus and Stiflos were pulled into the team by Patroclus.But soon, the two argued over who held the flag bearer role...

……………………………

At the same time, in the Turriy House, the elders are discussing the affairs of the Dionysian Union.

The rotating chairman Marighi took out a scroll of papyrus and said, "Sir, the chief executive of Crimea, sent a document saying that he thought of many ways, but Crimea still has some problems. Few people are reluctant to subscribe for wheat bonds. So far, bonds distributed to several other cities have been sold out, even including Asprostum. Only Crimisa-"Mariji increased the volume:" Originally, it was the least allocated, but even half of the shares were not completed! You see if you brought the remaining debt back to Castron, and Amiclis has sent someone to speak a few times. ,'Castron citizens are eager to subscribe for the bonds we issue!'"

"agree!"

"I have no opinion!"

"Borrowing 100 kilograms of wheat and 115 kilograms in a year is a huge profit! Dionysia has no advantage for the citizens, why are there so many people in Crimea who are not willing to subscribe? We should Think about the reasons!" Kunogolata reminded everyone.

As soon as these words came out, most of the veterans turned their attention to Antaoris.

He looked embarrassed and quickly coughed a few times and stood up and said: "Masters, I... I think there are several reasons for this... First, Crimea joined the Dionysian League at the latest, It’s only half a year now! The most important thing is that it is different from Asprostum..." At this point, he stabilized his emotions, cleared his throat, and solemnly said: "Although telling the truth makes people Uncomfortable, but this is a fact. The outbreak of the Crotone war was not caused by the Dionysians, but many Crimeans believe that Dionysians should bear some responsibility, Crimea Many people died in the war with Dionia. Half a year is not enough to resolve the resentment in their hearts. Naturally, with resentment, one cannot fully trust Dionysia..."

Antaoris' words caused a brief silence.

At half-time, Cornelius said in a deep voice: "The war with Crotone was unavoidable. Although Crimisa has become a part of Dionysia, it seems that we need to do more Work hard to resolve the grief in the Crimea people. I also hope that the three adults, Antaoris, Euripps and Pulades, can provide more help!"

"Whether it is as a member of the Senate or as a Crimea, this is what we should do!" Eurips said firmly: "I believe that it will not take long before the Crimea will I am glad and proud of being a citizen of Dionysia!"

The words of Euripps were unanimously approved by the elders.

At this time, Pollux stood up and said, "Dear veterans, I just talked about the issue of wheat bonds. It reminds me that Lord Mercis once said,'This batch of military food obtained from the people is also the top How can I maintain the use of the team from Dionysia for more than two months'. Am I right? Lord Mercis."

Although Melcis hated Polyx, he had to nod and said, "Yes, I did. But—"

"Thank you!" Polyxes interrupted Mercis aloud and said quickly: "Even if we have captured Bisinia, but in such a large area of ​​Broty, a population of more than 100,000 would only need two It’s hard to conquer it in a month! More importantly, when we concentrated on the Brutians, the Lukarias in the north were also taking advantage of the chaos. Now, the Senate for Bakul...um... …Is there any serious injury, life and death, Picosis has a good attack on Grummentum, is there any good way to deal with it?!” Polyxis said with sympathy in Weisba, Hehe Blindfolded, although he hated these "barbarians mixed into the senate" in his heart, he needed these strong supporters of Davos to doubt the young man.

"No! Because all the soldiers are fighting the Brutus! If you continue like this, I am afraid that the Brutus area has not yet been conquered. The Picos have captured Grummentum and invaded our Niutum. It’s time, our Dionysian Union is facing enemies on both sides, and the army is facing the dilemma of tight military supplies. A major disaster will come to Dionysma... Dear adults, please think about this terrible situation. Very likely to appear!" Pollux screamed in distress.

A few veterans changed their complexions, while others were thoughtful.

Seeing this scene in front, Mariji hated it: this damn Polyx was quiet for a few days, and came out to make trouble again!

Devers designed to lure the Lucanias. At first, in order to keep secrets, only Avinojis and Sesta, Hironimos, and the main team officers of the Third Army knew.Uninformed Mariji anxiously greeted Plycines in the back row, hoping that he could stand up and refute Polyx.

"We are too belligerent! Just repelled Crotone, and soon attacked Grumentum. After a few days of helping Tarantum, he waged a war against the Brutus... Our crazy expansion caused the unrest of the forces around them, and they will join hands to deal with us! The attack of Picoxis is only a harbinger. For the long-term security of Dionia, we should think about it and make some bills. Restrain this practice of waging at will!"

Polyx did not mention Daveus, but anyone could hear that it was clearly aimed at Daveus, and the Great Hall suddenly became very quiet.

At this time, the sound of "bang", the sound of the door being pushed open is particularly clear in the quiet enclosed space.

With a look of excitement in his face, Philius quickly walked into the venue.

A move in Mariji's heart broke the silence and said, "Master Felix, you are late!"
