Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Which soldier should hold the banner of the kingdom, should he be Mesapi?"

"The announcement stated that his name was Lakelesis and he was a soldier of the Ninth Army (the Ninth Army was mainly composed of Mesapi). When he captured the city of Lucena, he rushed to the head of the city and killed him in a row. Four enemies were stabbed with several spears, and they continued to fight until his comrades rushed into the city..."

"No wonder he still has bandages on his body, so that the heroic soldier deserves the honor of a triumphant flag bearer!"

"Lake Lesis is a famous warrior in our city of Udière!" someone choked in blunt Greek.

In such a festive atmosphere, the conflicts and disputes of the past will be put aside, and people’s minds will also become wider. The person who spoke before said happily: "Whether it’s the Greeks or the Mesapi people are Daioni. Asian people, you Mesapi joined the Dionysian army, our army will be stronger!"

"Dionysian Legion wins!"

"Ninth Legion Wins!"

"Lake Laceis is good!"

...

The parade came to the first Arc de Triomphe, which is the starting point of the outer suburbs of northern Turiri.

The Arc de Triomphe was built after the Southern Italian War. The four reliefs on the arches record four exciting battles that determined the fate of Dionia during the Southern Italian War. They are: the Battle of Poseidonia, Turi The Battle of Iraq, the Battle of Crotone, and the Battle of Meyaro.

The soldiers passing by the Arc de Triomphe added a little dignity in their excitement. They were eager to make more deeds, remembered by the history of the Kingdom of Dionysia...

…………………………………

The surroundings of Victory Square are also filled with spectators, but unlike the people along the way, their status and status are different. Foreign envoys, invited VIPs, kingdom officials and military officers, and their families...

This of course also includes the family of Davos, who sits with the family members of the elders on the viewing platform beside the Great Collegiate Hall, surrounded by soldiers.

"Gitia, you don't have to stretch your neck so long. The parade is still here early. Now it's no more than before. There are only five or six miles from the outer city to the inner city-ouch!" The dignified and generous girl next to her tapped her head, and then heard the girl softly rebuke: "Younis, you must not be so rude! Kitia is older than you, you should be called sister!"

"Okay, Sister Kitia!" Yunice's flexible eyes flashed slyly: "You don't have to bother to look for it, Stiflos is the flag-bearer of the Eighth Legion this time. At the forefront of the team, you can see it without stretching your neck."

The petite and beautiful Gidia heard this, and she was blushing, and she quickly retracted her body lying on the railing. Looking at the two sisters who were snickering, they couldn't help but argue: "I didn't want to see Stiflos, but want to help... want to help Cynthia find where Patroclus is."

"My sister won't be as anxious as you, anyway, she will be engaged to Patroclus soon!" Yunis blurted out, although her voice was not loud, it also aroused some people's surprise.

Cynthia was also a little bit shy, and immediately patted Yunis: "No nonsense!"

Yunis didn't care, and smiled again: "Sister Kitia, look at my sister, they are getting married soon. When will you get married to Stiflos?"

"what?……"

"Unise!"

"Ouch!"

...

Alexis was riding a magnificent chariot pulled by four black horses. Now the Kingdom of Dionysia is no longer as poor as it was when it was first built. It is easy to find four tall gods without a trace of variegation Dark horse.

Behind him is Leotizides, also a four-horse chariot.

Afterwards were the two-horse chariots that several army chiefs rode, which made the army chiefs Amintas and Olivers a little uncomfortable.

Leotizides stood on the carriage and straightened his chest to welcome the cheers and praises of thousands of people.He has participated in the Triumph many times, but this is the first time he has participated as a theater commander. The attention he has received as a protagonist is naturally different. In the past, he was also very excited, and he rarely waved to the surroundings.

When their carriage entered the Victory Square, the thunderous cheers were overwhelming.

After the carriage ran around the square, it stopped in front of the Great Hall of the Senate.

Alexis, Leotizides, and several regiment commanders all got out of the carriage, solemnly stepping up the steps.

On the platform at the end of the steps stood the distinguished veterans of the kingdom, surrounded by the crowned King Daphes.

"Your Majesty!" The first Alexis who walked onto the platform respectfully performed a military salute.

Daveus solemnly replied and said, "Working hard, Alexis! Thank you for adding a new territory and people to the kingdom!"

"This is my duty as an army commander." Alexis replied.

Davies smiled and took the golden scepter of victory from Hernpolis, and passed it.This is a one-foot long cane made of gold, with a beautifully carved statue of the goddess of victory at the top. This is a reward for the commander who returned from the triumph. Now with the strength of the kingdom, it is no longer a verbal commendation to the winner. There are also substantial prizes.

This is the highest reward for the commanding generals of the kingdom, so Alexis, who usually does not value gold and silver, also took it with excitement and pressed it tightly on her chest.

"Your Majesty!" Leotizides gave a clean military salute.

"Prosius, good job!" Daveus smiled more happily: "You have not lived up to my expectations, which is beyond the expectations of many people!"

Daveus said, handing the scepter of victory, and after Leotich handed it over, he took a strong pat on his shoulder. Shen Sheng said, "I look forward to your next victory!"

Leotizides was equally excited, and he understood that this showed that King Daveus valued him very much, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but said repeatedly: "Yes! Yes!..."

Daphes then gifted silver scepters to several legion chiefs such as Amintas and Olivers.

When he next wanted to wear the three-headed dog warrior medal made of gold for several flag bearers, he saw La Calaisis from Mesappe strapped around and couldn't help thinking of him in Amendola more than ten years ago The scene in which La was granting the flag of Dracos covered with wounds couldn't help but sigh with emotion, so he gave the brave soldier a strong hug and grabbed his hand and held it high.

The soldiers in the square cheered loudly, especially those from Mesapi and Pucciti.

After wearing the medals carefully for the flag bearers, Davos strode to the platform and faced thousands of soldiers under the stage, shouting loudly: "Dionian heroic soldiers Men, citizens loyal to the kingdom!..."

"The Kingdom of Dionysia!!!!"

"King Daveus wins!!!!!!"

...

The triumph fell in the cheers of the soldiers calling for the tsunami.

……………………………………

Yesterday the triumph was over, and today Patroclus received a notice from the military department: let him go to the palace immediately.

Although, he had received news from Cynthia last night, Patro Ross was still in a state of uneasiness along the way. After all, this was the first time he had been received by King Davis alone.

Came to the front door of the king's office on the second floor of the palace. The guards hadn't had time to report it. It happened that Henripolis came out and saw Patroclus, the court clerk who was once the "youngest veteran." He looked at him with interest, then said with a smile: "Young man, congratulations!" Then, he turned around again.

After a while, when he came out again, Genpolis took two clerks and comforted Patroclus: "Don't be nervous, go in."

Patroclus said softly in gratitude: "Thank you, Genipolis!"

Patroclus walked in softly, leaving only one person in the room.

The founder of the Dionysian kingdom, the supreme commander of the Dionysian army, a descendant of Hades, and also Cynthia’s father, King Daveus, sat behind his desk more than 20 meters away, with a calm look Watch him.

Rao is a plain and bold Patroclus who can't help but beating "Bang! Bang!..."

"Your Majesty...I'm here." He tried his best to control his body and saluted Daveus.

Daveus stared at him with both scrutiny and a trace of kindness. Patroclus's nervousness looked into his eyes, and he said softly, "Sit, Patroclus."

"Yes!" Pallock Rose sat on the wooden chair beside him, his mind calmed down a little, and then he felt his lips dry and tight, and he swallowed subconsciously.

Davies smiled a little: "I'm thirsty. I'll give you a glass of water."

"No, thank you, Your Majesty!" Patroclus waved his hand.

"Before Triumph, I reviewed the list of recommended candidates sent by Alexis to serve as the flag-bearer of the Triumph Legion, and deliberately deleted your name." Dave said slowly: "You must have complained. ?"

"No, Your Majesty." Patroclus said without thinking.

"Do you know why I did this?" Davers asked further.

"Because... to avoid suspicion." Patroclus said softly, not sure.

"Yes, in order to avoid suspicion." Daphes affirmed, Shen Sheng said: "You are a young man with a very military talent, but when you marry Cynthia, you will be infected with the background of the royal family, you Everything you get will be considered by others to be the result of my care, so there will be a lot of things to avoid suspicion like this in the future, and you will probably not become the'youngest legionary' like Prosius,' the most Young Commander'..."
