Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Subsequently, the remaining four people also got off the bus one by one.

There are two ways for people from the south to cross the Krati River and enter the city of Turiyben. One is to enter the southern city of Turiyi and take a boat from the pier to the main city pier of Turiy on the other side. Onia citizens and other visiting city-state envoys, etc.; second, like Kardias, through the wooden bridge on the west side of the south city, to the delta where the two rivers meet, and then through the wooden bridge to the north bank of the Krati River, Finally enter the main city.

Nick Stratus, who passed the checkpoint, boarded the wooden bridge. Lucasus did not pretend to be like his teacher. He stomped his feet curiously, patted the bridge fence, and stretched his neck from time to time to see the ship under the bridge. Through... Suddenly he yelled: "Look what they are doing?!"

Nick Stratus looked in the direction of his finger. A group of teenagers were swimming in the river not far under the bridge. They were not playing in the water, but lined up in groups, one after another, rushing to swim from the North Shore. Go to the South Bank and return.The Greeks are a marine nation, and people with good water are everywhere, but like this, it is relatively rare to let every child wear leather armor and the scene of intense and exciting swimming.

"Is it a game?" Stacipus said uncertainly.

"They are in military training." A middle-aged man with a broken right arm lying on the bridge and watching for a long time interjected.

Starcips looked him up and down and asked curiously, "Military training?"

"They are all students of Turiri School. According to the requirements of the Dionysian Education Law, in addition to learning knowledge, they also have to conduct military training..." The middle-aged man explained.

"Such a child is forced to do such a dangerous exercise, which is too cruel! What if they are physically weak and drowning?! What if they get hit by a boat?!" Nick Stratus was dissatisfied Said.

In fact, there are not only instructors escorted in the river, but also several boats parked on the river, ready to rescue.But the middle-aged did not explain much, but said lightly: "The fierce enemies are not let go because of their young age. Only through rigorous training can the enemy be killed when he enters the battlefield, not by the enemy. dead."

Nick Stratus was speechless for a while, and walked away quickly. The men of Dionysia, whether young or middle-aged, spoke with an aversion to him. No wonder someone called Dionia People are "little Starrs," and their actions are indeed cruel!

The middle-aged man ignored the departure of these foreigners and continued to pay attention to the children's training in the river. He didn't take the time to cross the bridge to the river beach until the instructor recruited them ashore.

"Hey, Parian Andros, my brother!" An instructor saw him and stepped forward to hug him, both of whom were soldiers of the First Army Amintas, and the fighting friendship was naturally deep. : "Your child is still performing as usual, and today won the first place in his group in the training of armed crossing!" the instructor praised without hesitation.

"I saw it all on the bridge."

"I said Parian Andros, if you care so much about your child's military training performance recently, are you going to let him succeed you as an adult and become a soldier of the Dionysian Legion?" the instructor said jokingly.

Who knows, Parian Andros nodded seriously: "I want him to join the First Army."

The instructor was stunned, and then persuaded: "My brother, although Patroclus has performed well, he has not been fighting for several years now. The number of Legion Reserves exceeds 10,000. The First Army is not so easy to enter. And he is still under 18 years old. Even at the age of military service, the team officers will not be so anxious to send recruits like him to the battlefield, but let him first train himself as a qualified in the reserve team. Legionnaires."

Parian Andros thought for a while, admitting that the instructor was right, he still asked a little uneasy: "I don’t understand the current situation of the Legion, you think Patroclus will enter the reserve team in the future, how long will it take to enter the formal Legion? Especially the First Legion?"

The instructor smiled: "You, you should usually walk with the older brothers of the First Legion, especially our old captain Amintas, he is the oldest. You know, he was just appointed this year The commander of the Second Army, your son wants to enter the Second Army, which is what he said. Even if you insist on letting Patroclus into the First Army, based on the friendship between Amintas and the First Army Chief Antonios , It’s just a matter of his words."

Parian Dolos listened silently to his comrades' advice.Indeed, since he was injured, there has been a lot less interaction with his comrades and team officers. Now, for the sake of children, some changes should be made.

"By the way, haven't you been studying in school recently, are you going to take part in Turri's assessment and serve as the village head? How are you learning now?" The instructor suddenly remembered and asked curiously.

Parian Andros smiled bitterly: "I used to be illiterate, but now I am old and have a bad memory, just memorizing those letters is enough for me to have a headache..."

"Then you have to work harder. I'm still waiting for you to enter the elders' home in the future and take care of our old comrades!" the instructor said jokingly.

Parian Andros smiled rarely.

"Father!" Patroclus, who had changed clothes, came over.

"Already after school?"

Patroclus nodded. He was almost 17 years old and he was taller than Parian Andros. Although he was not strong yet, he was well-proportioned and strong. For students who were about to become adults like him, the school afternoon class It is no longer the general sports competition and military training, but more rigorous exercises that begin to approach actual combat and prepare for entering the army.

"Parandolos, don't forget what I told you." The instructor reminded him loudly when he saw the father and son walking away.

Pariandolos waved gratefully.

"Father, what did you say to the instructor?" Patrolos asked curiously.

"About your entry into the First Army..." Pariandolos told his son truthfully.

Patroclus blew a long whistle: "I heard Steve Rose say that it is impossible for a recruit like me to enter the First Army at the beginning. But I believe that no matter which army I am in, I will become a triumphant The man holding the flag!"

Parian Andros patted the child's shoulder with relief. Although Patroclus was out of character, he was an extremely confident child.

When the father and son were out of the college, Patroclusus suddenly stopped and shouted, "Hey, Cynthia!"

Cynthia, who was returning home with her classmates, turned around and smiled at him.

Patroclus squeezed his eyes: "The hair band on your head is loose."

Cynthia reached out and touched her hair. When she was cheated, she immediately took a sip and scolded: "Nasty Palo!"

Patroclush laughed, staring at his eyes, watching Cynthia go away, before returning his gaze.

As an overcoming person, Pariandolos couldn’t understand his son’s thoughts, but most people in Turiyi knew the girl’s identity—the adopted daughter of the consul Davos, but he was just Dior who had just acquired citizenship. Ordinary citizens of Nigeria, the gap between the two sides is very different.It’s just that his son’s character is stubborn, and he has his own ideas when he is a child.

………………………

Cynthia said goodbye to her girlfriend and went into her home.

The house slave quickly came over and took her schoolbag, and she immediately saluted her and thanked her.

Today, Davers' mansion has been expanded from before, divided into three courtyards, front, middle and back.The front yard is the residence of ordinary slaves, and the stables are also here; the middle yard is the place for Davos's office affairs, and also has the bedroom of the slave butler and the office staff; the backyard is the residence of Daphes and his family.

Cynthia went straight ahead, and wherever she went, the slaves saluted her, and Cynthia also saluted them one by one.This is Davis's house rule. Although Cynthia doesn't understand it, she has developed a habit.

After entering the middle courtyard, she also had a meeting with Aristilas.Cynthia is more afraid of her father’s follower. She always feels that his black and white eyes seem to have some magic power to see through the heart.In comparison, in Davis’s followers, she prefers the former writer Aristotle, but unfortunately he has become a citizen of Dionysia, and under the advice of Daves, through the Union’s Assessment, has become a judge in the court of Turui.

Cynthia pushed away from the backyard room and heard a familiar voice: "Oh, Cynthia is back!"

Christoya stood by the garden and looked at her with a smile, Azuna bent over to pull the flowers.

"Mother!" Cynthia screamed and ran forward to give Christo a hug.After several years of getting along with her, this sexy, elegant, and sympathetic woman has replaced the image of her mother, which faded in her mind.

"Be gentle! You daring little guy, don't frighten your sister!" Christoia unconsciously covered the abdomen that was a little protruding, and flicked on Cynthia's forehead.

"Sister, I interrupted you to sleep, and my sister apologized to you!" Cynthia said close to Christosia's stomach and said in a funny way.

Then she suddenly shouted in surprise: "She kicked me! Mother, sister she kicked me!"

"Yes, I feel it too!" Christosia was also rejoicing. This was her second pregnancy. Where did she know that she was pregnant with a man or a woman, but after having little Crow, she was wholehearted Want a daughter, so everybody said she was pregnant, this is the first time she felt fetal movement.
