Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

At the sacrifice in front of the Temple of Hades, Daves no longer pretended to be a ghost and ghost like the first time the temple was completed, but followed traditional rituals, slaughtering lambs, offering blood, and reading a carol.This time the Hades carol was not written before, but it was written by Lucias. Daveus read it before, and it feels well written, which means the development of Dionysian culture.

Since mortals are equal in front of the deities, the people participating in the sacrifice are in order, and the one who comes first stands in front.

McGallis stood in front of the square in the direction of the temple, so when people flowed to the temple, he walked in front. Now he is in front of the order-keeping civic soldiers. A large defense circle encloses the entire Temple of Hades.Several guards patrol the circle to maintain order and prevent accidents.

Daveus was just over 20 meters in front of Megalis, at this moment he sang carols loudly, and a group of priests sang behind him.

McGallis swallowed a few saliva subconsciously, dropped his right hand, and touched the hard object against the outside of his thigh.

Davos finally sang the carol.

"Boom!..." The bronze bell sounded.

Then listen to Davos's loud emotional shouting: "Now let us pray to the great Hades!"

After he finished speaking, he closed his head and closed his head. The people also prayed silently, some even kneeled on the ground, and even the soldiers began to meditate in their hearts.

McGallis saw a team of guards just passing in front of him from the inner circle.

It is now!He opened his eyes, his right leg kicked hard on the ground, and the whole person was like a cheetah, stooping through the gap below the civic soldier's hand, flashing through the rear of the guard, his right hand extended into Bolton , Pumped outward, the dagger dangling already in his hand.

Among the mercenaries in Campania, he is known for his speed, and the distance of more than 20 meters is only a moment for him.At this moment, excitement and tension rushed all over the body, and the wind blew in his ears, but his eyes kept staring at Davos in front.

It's coming!It's close!!

I saw Daveus raised his head, neither nervous nor afraid, but just smiled at him.

McGallis felt a "chuck" in his heart.

Behind Daphes, two of the priests who had originally bowed their heads suddenly rushed out, holding a small leather shield in their hands, and the leather shield swayed hard hit McGallis.

Having sprinted with all his strength, he couldn't dodge because of inertia. He only felt that his right hand was hit by a boulder, his bones were in pain, and his dagger flew out of his hand.

Then another shield hit his head, and McGallis' head buzzed, and he fainted.

"Is he dead?" Daphes asked.

"Sir, he fainted." Maltius, dressed as a priest, replied.

"Very good." Davos had just spit out these two words, and some of the people shouted: "There are assassins! There are assassins! To assassinate Lord Davis!"

"Slay it! There are assassins trying to kill us!"

...

The people who reacted at this time saw the assassin who fell to the ground in front of Davos, and heard someone chanting continuously: "kill! There are assassins! ..." The people suddenly began to riot.

No, someone is making trouble!Daveus immediately sounded the alarm: There are tens of thousands of people in this ritual ceremony. Once an event or panic causes trampling, the consequences will be unimaginable. Wasn't that what Mitradat's troops were like!

In a hurry, he walked forward and came to the back of the soldiers and shouted: "Citizens of Dionysia, soldiers of the Legion, I order you to stay calm! Maintain order! Protect the people!"

Maltius followed the soldiers and shouted together.

The citizens of Dionysia began to respond to the orders of the Supreme Commander and consciously stood up to stabilize the emotions of the people around them, and the confusion gradually subsided...

At this time, a woman screamed because of the thrust, and fell forward into the defense circle.

Davers faced his concerns and prepared to step forward.

The civic soldier next to him immediately lifted it, but she saw a distorted face. She pushed away the unguarded soldier with force, quickly pulled out the dagger hidden in her body, and viciously directed to Dave Si stabbed.

Daveus, who was close to him, was hard to dodge at that moment, and he looked at the blue-lighted dagger stunned into his chest. At the moment of the electric flint, Maltius behind him suddenly pushed with his left hand. Driving Daphes, the right hand quickly greeted him, and the dagger pierced his palm.

He yelled and punched the woman's face hard with his left fist.

The woman screamed and was beaten back several steps before falling to the ground, twitching and vomiting blood constantly.

"High priest, are you okay?"

"Sir Davers! Sister!..."

Pleacines and the priests, as well as the people at the scene, screamed and drew concerns about Daves.

"Don't move while standing still!" Daveus quickly stood up and shouted: "Maintain order, I'm fine!"

He was talking, the guards rushed over and protected him in the center.

"Go and see your captain!" Daveus turned away from the soldiers and hurried towards Maltius.

"My lord, I'm fine." Maltius whispered. He had torn the sacrificial robes and wrapped his right hand.

Davers looked at his right hand, which had dyed the white linen red with concern, and patted him deeply on his shoulder, saying nothing. This time, he remembered the life-saving grace.

Then he moved on and walked to the woman.

The woman's face was broken, and her appearance at the moment was terrifying.

Daveus looked at her staring blankly, but his fingers were trembling slightly: for the first time in this world, he was the first time he really felt that death was so close to him!

damn it!Damn... Just when he felt he could no longer control the rapidly growing tyranny in his heart, the soldiers cried out from behind: "Captain, what's wrong with you?!"

He turned around and saw Maltius fell to the ground weakly.

Poisonous on the dagger!A thought flashed immediately in Davis's mind.

More than ten years later, Ansitanos wrote in his "History of Great Greece": This Hades celebration, which should have been a lively celebration for the Dionysians, was interrupted by this assassination, The captain of Davos' guard was comatose because of his injuries. Hundreds of Dionysian people were injured by the panic during the assassination and caused a lot of riots. More than a dozen people died.But more importantly, the attempted assassination of Dionysian Davos, though unsuccessful, shocked the entire Dionysian Union and the entire southern Italian city-state.At the same time, it also had a profound impact on the political situation of Dionysia, South Italy, and even the entire Western Mediterranean.This was unexpected by the messengers behind the scenes...

The historian's pen can easily talk about history after the fact.But on that day, after the assassination, Turiri immediately blocked the city and imposed a curfew.Many people living in homes and hotels are uneasy because of rumors that "Daveus has been killed by assassins." This makes the Daonian people who have always regarded Daveus as the most dependent on the security of the alliance. Can not be frightened.

And the consul, who has always been worried about the people, has returned home at this moment. In the face of the concern and condolences of Christosia, Agnes, and the children who arrived at the news, he reluctantly dealt with the past, and immediately called Aristilas, Davis, who has always had a good attitude towards him, is angry at the moment: "You and your men are simply stupid! It actually made an assassin lurking so boldly to my side. Unconscious! If Maltius cannot wake up this time, many of your men must pay for it!"

Aristilas did not defend.Indeed this time he was deceived by the enemy. I didn't expect that McGallis was just a guise. The real trick was on a woman who couldn't help the wind. Fortunately... Davis was not injured!Thinking of this, his back was dripping with sweat.

After Davies made a fire, his emotions eased a little, he said sharply: "Aristilas, no matter what method you use, I must hide in the Dionysian territory and hate in the shortest time. Diona’s'nails' dug up for me, and I will let Matonis' patrol team cooperate with you!"

Aristilas squeezed his fists and said angrily: "Master, rest assured, I will never let you down again!"

"I don't want to see Diona's veterans or generals, or public officials of the Alliance assassinated or accidentally, especially in the future when Dionia will take action!"

Daveus's admonition did not make Aristila feel the increased pressure, but instead he was excited: the alliance will take action?!To whom?!

As soon as Aristilas left, Kunogolata and Matonis came together, knowing that Kunogolata had lost since the battle of Turui with the Lucanian tribal alliance that year. There was a quirk-not wanting to be alone with the soldier-born, but this time it was obviously an emergency.

Matonis walked into the reception hall and saw that Davis was indeed as safe as others said, and he was immediately relieved a lot, so he said aloud, "Master, the assassin has confessed."

"So fast?!" Daveus was surprised.

Matonis grinned, but remembered that the atmosphere was wrong and had to hold back: "After the assassin woke up, he didn't wait for us to use his sentence, he voluntarily confessed, only made a request, hoping to make him before he died Eat a few meals from the restaurant Christoya."

This request was indeed a little funny, but Davers didn't have the mood to laugh at him, and asked seriously, "What did he tell me?"

Matonis was angry: "He said he was a mercenary in Campania. He has been fighting for Syracuse for several years. This time, Siracusa general Marcias sent him to assassinate you. ..."
