Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Kunogolata waved the slave girl out, then looked at Lucias, and said solemnly: "The Senate is the most important institution in the kingdom, and plays an important role in balancing the power of the king. If the elders of the Senate are always being... ...Cough cough...who dares to oppose your majesty's proposal...cough cough cough..."

"Don't say it, take a good rest, I understand, I will try my best!" Lucias promised.

………………………………………

The Dionysian Palace is located at the confluence of the Crati River and the Coseny River, under the King’s Hill, and above the hill is King Dave’s mansion.

The palace is southwest of the Senate, and the distance between them is less than 300 meters. Although it is not as grand as the grand hall of the Senate, it has its own unique style.

It sits west to the east, backed by the hills, and lies on the side of the river. It is a two-storey, boxy building. The wall is made of large square stones, and the wall is quite flat. What is the big gap, because "Daveus cement" is poured to make it integrated, and at the same time, the inside of the square stone is reinforced with an "H" type jig to make the boulders stronger.

There are dozens of simple and practical Doria-style pillars under the outer eaves around the wall that one person can barely hug, and a section of eaves extending outward from the center of the east-facing wall is owned by eight roots. Ionian stone pillar support with spiral stigma.A triangular roof was added to the eaves, and a gold sculptured disc was inlaid in the center, which was the symbol of the Kingdom of Dionysia-a double-pronged fork with long hair and a crown of pomegranate branches.

The foundation of the entire palace is more than one meter high, so Ionian stone pillars are built in front of the stone steps, and there are 20 levels.In front of the stone steps, there is a circular platform made of white marble resembling a small altar. A long flagpole is erected in the center. The flag of the Kingdom of Dionysia is flying at the top of the flagpole. Hair, double-strand fork, diamond and crown".

Under the flagpole stood two heavily armed court guards.Every morning, there will be 50 palace guards lined up in a neat phalanx, stepping at a neat pace, marching from under the palace to the flag stand, then raising the national flag in an elegant posture, and they will use the same queue and posture at dusk Lower the flag.This unique and solemn ceremony attracted many people of the Kingdom of Dionysia and even the Gentiles to stop and watch every day.

The last time I came to Turi, the royal palace was not completed. This time, Galni was summoned by the king. He came here and stood in front of this palace, which best reflects the architectural skills of the Kingdom of Dionysia. The towering and thick wall made him marvel at the divine axe work of the Dionysians. The dignified appearance similar to the temple made him unconfident and calm.On the white steps, he looked up and saw the dazzling golden emblem of the Kingdom of Dionysia hanging above the lintel. An invisible pressure made him feel a little and suddenly in awe.

After walking up the steps, a team of court guards guarding the gate of the palace behind the eight Ionian stone pillars allowed them to enter after carefully inspecting the warrant of the herald soldiers who brought him.

The ground in the palace is closely arranged and inlaid with polished and smooth pebbles. It uses black as the base color, white as the main embellishment, and is supplemented by other colors, decorated with exquisite geometric patterns, such as flowers, grass, waves, squid... This made Garni feel new, if not to hurry to meet Davers, he would like to spend more time here.

"Your Majesty had originally planned to draw murals on the wall and put sculptures on both sides of the aisle, but because no good painters and sculptors were found, they were not implemented for the time being." Chuanbing Bing saw his thoughts and said proudly.

Gellney quickly drew back his gaze and nodded pretendingly.

When he came to the king's office on the second floor of the palace, after the subordinate soldiers went in to give notice, he saw the controller of the Kingdom of Dionysia strode out, and smiled and said loudly: "Garni, The Warriors of the Samone, the leader of Abenerum, welcomes you to Turui again!"

"His Majesty King Daveus!" Gurney bowed his bow respectfully.

"Please come in now! Come in now!" Daveus greeted him warmly into the office and told the herald soldiers: "Go to the kitchen, prepare some fruit and pulp, and send it immediately!"

Daveus asked Gellney to sit down on a wooden chair near the large desk, and instead of sitting behind the desk, he sat on another wooden chair opposite. To show his respect for the weak Abenerum.

This little detail touched Gurney a little. He turned his head unnaturally and looked at the back of the desk. There were two writers on both sides of the desk burying their heads to copy documents. The black and white on the wall seemed to be Italian The mosaic mural on the map attracted his attention.

"I remember the last time I saw you was seven years ago." Daveus said.

Guerny looked at Daveus and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"The palace was not built at that time!" Daveus smiled and sighed like chatting with friends: "This time is passing so fast, seven years have passed! I never expected you this year. The team will be sent to participate, so I was really happy when I received a letter from Maxima! What’s more pleased is that your Abbelum team performed very well in this game, which was beyond my expectations , Also beyond the expectations of the people, it is estimated that many fans have since remembered Abenerum..."

Guerny said modestly: "Your Majesty, that was just lucky. In the second game against Wig, we simply lost the game."

I can see that there are some regrets in Gellney's heart, and Davies laughed: "Yes, your performance made many fans make mistakes and protested to the city hall, saying that you and Pixis are playing fake football."

Delney smiled bitterly and was about to explain.

Daveus said: "I watched both games. Actually...Picosses lost to you because they underestimated the enemy and were unfamiliar with your style of play. Rugby is from me... Ha It’s been more than a decade since Diss enlightened me and passed it on to the people. Due to frequent competitions and training, the sport of rugby has developed rapidly. As far as I know, many strong teams now have dozens of offense tactics In this way, the tasks of the players on the field are getting more and more detailed. The game is no longer just a contest of strength and speed, but more of relying on the execution of wisdom and tactics. When you play against Wig, the complex tactics they use are obvious Suppresses the play of your characteristics, so you will quickly lose..."

Davos seriously analyzed the reasons for his defeat, and finally said: "It is not enough to practice hard by yourself, but also to play more games and learn from and communicate with other teams. I suggest... Aberum Ball The team should participate in the competitions in the Lucania region every year, and of course Turui will continue to invite you to the finals!"

"Uh..." Galney hesitated.

"Why? Difficulties?" Daphes asked.

Guerney said, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern! After I went back, I discussed this proposal with my fellow citizens.”

"If you have any difficulty in participating in the game, tell Maxima that he will try to help you solve it." Davers said seriously.

Guerny kept speaking.

The two chatted for a while about football, football, and even the game of Hercules founded by the sacrifice of Hercules.

Denny saw that Davis was very interested, so he said: "Your Majesty, I am here in Turriy. In addition to watching the performance of my team, there is one more thing I want to tell you—"

"Oh, what's the matter?" Daveus smiled on his face.

"In the beginning, the Kingdom of Dionia signed a covenant with our tribe of Hilpini, and the two sides formed an alliance. In addition to'no mutual violation, one party meets the enemy, the other party must provide assistance...', the covenant also requested' Don't restrict the free exchanges between the two peoples, strengthen trade, exchange beliefs and work as employees...'

But in fact, it is only Abenirum, Aequum, Tuticum, Aeclanum, Aqlanum, led by Beneventum Aquilonia... wait for towns and tribes to obey on the surface, but secretly prohibit people from contacting your Dionysians, otherwise they will be severely punished by the priests in the tribe.It has been nine years since the signing of the covenant. Your Majesty the King, you have to admit that the Dionysians are basically difficult to get involved in other areas of Samona except for being free to come and go in the territory of Abenirum.

But we, the Abenelum people, have been dissatisfied with the chieftain Leishuk and other chiefs of these acts of goodwill towards Dionia. I believe you, His Majesty the King, also know about this.As the deadline of the covenant approached (In the beginning, although Dionia won the war, the three tribes of Samone were not willing to become a vassal of Dionia, and their attitude was still relatively tough, and finally reached After the compromise, the alliance agreement will last for ten years and can be renewed upon expiration), and the suppression of Abenirum by Lesliek and other tribes is even more serious.Regardless of the tradition of the Samonei, they forcibly divided our grazing area. Once people and livestock cross the line, they will be detained by them!..."

Gellny squeezed his fists, and said in a passionate hatred: "Lesguk also contacted other tribal chiefs and high priests to obtain the ceremonial celebration of the god Savoni in Beneventum early next spring. Power, according to tradition, all the leaders of Samone will go to Beneventum to attend the celebration. Someone secretly told that Lesguk wanted to give sacrifices to the entire Samone tribe this time, to'I allow Ha The priest of Diss preached in the territory, and let the high priests of Samone condemn me as a blasphemy for blasphemy. The wolf gnawing to death)... If I don’t go to participate, I will be convicted of two major crimes of “defying tradition and blasphemy”. Not only will I be executed, but the people who support me in Abenerum will also be severely punished!

Your Majesty the King, I have acted in accordance with the Covenant and stay friendly with you Dionysia, but I did not expect to be hated and framed by your fellow people. I hope to receive your support from His Majesty the King, for me!For Abenerum!Win responds to some fair treatment!"
