Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Anyway, let's take a look at our little Yunis, right?" Azuna bent down and whispered to the little baby in the wooden wheelbarrow.

The originally quiet little Yunis saw a familiar person approaching her, and immediately yelled, dancing with her hands and feet, kicking the thick wool covering her body away.

"Ma'am, you see, even Yunis is protesting too!" Azuna said jokingly as she covered the baby with a quilt.That's the Davos mansion that treats slaves and kindness, and dare to speak like this because Azuna is the confidant of Christoya.

Kristoa looked at her daughter, her eyes gleaming softly. She remembered something, and sighed softly, saying: "Little Kro was not seen his father when he was born, who is called Dionia. It's a constant war..."

When the three were sighing, crying came from the front yard.

It's Little Clo!Both Agnes and Azuna's complexions changed, and Azuna said quickly, "I'll check it out."

"You don't have to go anymore. With Herni and Cynthia there is nothing to worry about." Christoya, the mother, was more calm than Agnes and Azuna.

Due to the expansion of the war, Dionia has continuously transferred young and middle-aged men to the front. Many institutions in Turui have ceased operation due to lack of manpower. The same is true of the school. The guards and instructors either joined the new army or became sailors or Join the transportation team.Although the teachers have special legal provisions for the purpose of protecting high-quality talents and do not need to go to the battlefield, they still go to the places where they are needed under the arrangement of the city hall to contribute to the war, such as becoming The statistician of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the bookkeeper of the heavy transportation...

As a result, school teaching has stalled.And without the protection of guards and instructors, the safety of the students could not be guaranteed, so Ansitanos had to declare: the school was temporarily closed.

For safety, Cynthia, Adoris, and Little Clo were ordered not to go out. The little guys who had been suffocated at home saw the big brother Hernipolis, who hadn't seen for a long time, came back and threw him excitedly to play child.

The innocent Henripolis had to take them on the sports field of the front yard atrium and play a football throwing game (because the children were older and energetic, Davis simply put the front yard atrium The pool was destroyed, and the whole was converted into a small sports field, so that the children can play happily while exercising.)

Little Klo, who was more than four years old, naturally also excitedly ran around with his brother and sister, accidentally tripping to the ground and crying.

Adoris was playing on Xing's head and said impatiently: "There is no bleeding, there is nothing to cry!"

Cynthia glared at him, and Adorius immediately stopped talking. He was always a little afraid of this sister, who was two years old.

Cynthia hurried over, lifted the crying little Crow, gently patted the dust on his body, and then said softly: "Little Crow, you are a brave warrior, the warrior will not cry."

Little Clow, who often followed Adores at home and wanted to be a heroic soldier, immediately wiped his hands on his face and said with a lip: "I didn't cry!"

"Okay, let's rest for a while." Henripolis gasped and sat down on the sidelines.Unlike the league’s citizens who often conduct military training, he spends most of his time in the academy to look up information and practice writing, but he lacks exercise. He used to be a ball grabber and followed these energetic children back and forth quickly. I exhausted my physical strength: "I will tell you a story."

"What story?" Adores asked immediately with interest. Henipolis was very good at telling stories and used to tell children before.

"The story of the goddess Parsefoni and the sea monsters of Hades, this was collected last time I went to Sicily. You must not have heard it."

"I want to listen!" Adores shouted immediately.

"I want to listen too!" Little Crow shouted louder.

Without speaking, Cynthia sat quietly next to Henripolis.

When Aristilas walked into the house, he just saw three children sitting around Genpolis and listened carefully to his colorful storytelling.

Seeing this warm scene, Aristilas naturally remembered the news about the "Arobmas Rebellion" that he had just received, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart...

…………………………………

In the early morning of December 6, the weather was clear, the sky was cloudless, and there was a breeze.

Davis assembled all the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Legion in the military camp, and then led them to the mountain under the Temple of Hades, where a lot of people had already gathered, as well as the elders of the Senate.

Daveus took the lead uphill, followed by the elders of the Senate and the two army commanders.

Priesinas, the priest in charge, had already waited in front of the temple, and a man headed by Daveus solemnly entered the hell temple of the Temple of Hades.

Daveus looked up at the double-stranded, dark-haired, glaring Pluto statue, and there was a kind of intimacy in his heart: from his rebirth to now he had an indissoluble bond with Hades, and now it is more He rested and shared, and as long as Dionia had always existed, the Daphes royal family would certainly be a family with him, worship him, and be blessed by him...

Thinking of this, Davers bowed down piously, and then said aloud: "Just the unselfish God Hades, your earthly kingdom of Dionysia is surrounded by war and is in danger, your children ( Daveus himself) will soon lead a military battle with the Syracuse, and hope to get your blessings and win!

When he had finished, Daveus stood up, lit an oil lamp, and placed it respectfully on the table in the middle under the statue.

Then, Plycines led a black calf specially selected from many Lucanian cows. It seemed to know its own destiny, but when Daphes held it with his left hand, it didn’t say no. jump.

Daveus drew his dagger, touched his back and neck, and sternly thrust it in. The calf wailed and fell to the ground.

The priests quickly lifted it onto the sacrificial table, cut open the abdomen, and removed the internal organs to view.How can there be lesions in the internal organs of a healthy calf?Therefore, the divination priest looked at it carefully and said aloud, "Auspicious! It is auspicious!"

Everyone looked relaxed, showing joy, singing the carols of Hades, watching Plessinas solemnly entrusting fresh blood to the statue...

In addition to the Temple of Hades, Daphes and the two regiment leaders worshiped the Hall of Heroes...

"Boom!...Boom!..." The long and powerful nine bells ringing from the mountain, with a strong sound, the people and soldiers under the mountain were excited.

"It's auspicious! It's auspicious!!!!" When Daveus and his party descended from the mountain, the mountain had become a sea of ​​joy, as if they had won the battle.

Just as Daveus led the First and Second Corps to the military port, Sekerian was mobilizing nearly 30,000 sailors before the war: "Brothers, you have been training so hard for so long, and finally you have to fight the enemy at sea today. The war started. Yesterday, I was hired by Davies... His Majesty was invited to discuss the naval battle, and there were several army commanders who accompanied him, and they even discouraged His Majesty not to fight the Syracuses at sea, saying,'Our Navy Just formed, without experience, it is impossible to be a rival of the Syracuse'. I argued with them, but instead they were reprimanded and said,'Our navy has no merit, no qualification to speak with them...'"

Sectrian’s words made the sailors all angry, and he took the opportunity to shout loudly: “Fortunately, the wise King Daveus said,'He believed that the sailors of Dionynia would fight bravely like a civilian soldier and bring for the Alliance. Come to victory!'. Brothers, let us not disappoint your majesty's expectations, tell the proud army with a brilliant victory, we are also heroes in the hearts of the people! And with this victory, we can also be like legionnaires , Get citizenship faster (because a large part of the sailors are free people)! Get the assigned land faster! Brothers, for your better life in the future, let us do a good job and defeat Syracuse Pierce the Navy!"

"Defeat the Syracuse Navy!!!"

"Dionysian Navy Victory!!!"

"Your Majesty Dapheus!"

...

The sailors who were so enthusiastic about the speech in Seckrian's speech shouted, and the cry made the people who were getting the news, rushing to the coast, looked sideways. Even Daves on the road heard their shouts and couldn't help laughing. Tao: "The morale of the Navy is very high!"

Although there was some quarrel with Seckrian yesterday, before starting the fight, Amintas also left those minor disputes behind and happily said: "This is very good, we also added a few more odds."

"Now I command—" Seckrian looked around the sailors, slammed, and shouted, "Tug the boat into the water!!!"

The sailors immediately ran to the dock where the warships they were responsible for were stored.

The warships that do not normally fight are stored in dry docks, and the sun is regularly exposed to the sun, which makes the maggots that are extremely damaging to the ship unable to survive. At the same time, the damaged and damaged ship plates are replaced and maintained, thereby ensuring the life of the warship.Therefore, Turri’s military port is different from the commercial port. It does not have a pier, but instead builds a slope with a certain angle on the river bank, and builds a dock on the causeway.After the warship entered the port, the sailors would drag the warship along the slope of the causeway into the dry dock for storage.

Since the military port in Turri was built hastily and without careful planning in advance, not only is each dock built simply, but the area is also cramped, it extends east from the Temple of Hera to the part outside the market On the river bank, large and small docks are densely arranged on both sides of this section of the Krati River.
