Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Of course, he did not forget to vote for Tao Li. These days he has led the priests to the Roman people who came to the Temple of Diana to consciously and unintentionally promote the benefits of joining the Kingdom of Dionysia and eliminate their confusion and anxiety about the future.

Behind the group of priests is the orchestra. These dozens of musicians holding various musical instruments such as brass trumpets, drums, flutes, lyres, etc., marching while playing the music.

The beautiful melody attracted the audience on the roadside. Some people couldn’t help but asked curiously in Greek: “What’s the name of this music?”

"It's called victory march!" A musician responded loudly.

So the name of "Victory March" quickly spread to the people on the side of the road, and even the most discerning Romans had to admit: "Dionia is worthy of being a great country, and he has made such beautiful music for the triumph. , This melody is perfect for triumph!"

Behind the band, there was a carriage drawn by two horses, but they were all variegated horses (because so many dark horses could not be found in the city of Rome). On the carriage stood a full-fledged Dionysian general.

The Roman people neither knew him nor applauded.

Of course, such a deserted scene made Amintas not in the mood to smile and beckon to the people on the roadside as usual. He even felt that holding the Triumph in Rome was a mistake, so he kept holding his face.

Behind him were the 200 soldiers drawn by the First Army. They lined up neatly and stepped on a consistent pace. Their mighty military capacity reminded the Roman civilians of the hard fighting they had suffered a few days ago. , They silently watched the group of soldiers passing by.

Then, they were surprised to see another horse-carriage passing by another Dionysian general, and the Roman people were surprised.

When the soldiers of the Second Legion walked by and another Dionysian in a horse-drawn carriage passed by, the Roman people were perplexed: Didn’t they give the victorious leader the highest honor during the triumph?But why are there so many generals in horse-drawn carriages during Dionysia's triumph test?!And there was no follower behind him who held up the laurel crown for them and whispered in their ears,'You are just a mortal!'Is this the most significant difference between Dionysian Triumph and Roman Triumph?!

McKillius and others are in deep thought.

Just as a group of Dionysian soldiers in a carriage led a group of Dionysian soldiers passing under the silent watch of the Roman people, suddenly a cry of excitement broke out from the crowd.

It turns out that most of the next generals who appeared in front of the people of Rome knew most of them-Sectus of Laventine, this young Roman civilian who actually appeared on the grand triumph, and as one of the protagonists, how could this be Can the Roman civilians be surprised!

Every Roman citizen has a dream to participate in the triumph, but this is a luxury for the Roman civilians. On the one hand, it is difficult for them to become the coach of the leader. On the other hand, it is impossible for the Senate to approve the triumph.But now Sectus has set a precedent. Although this is a triumph held in the Kingdom of Dionysia, it also gave them hope and more confidence in the promise made by Daphus on the square that day.

Of course, McKelius's feelings about this will be more complicated.

"The traitor Sectus! By killing his fellow Romans, he became a hero of the Dionysians. Isn't he afraid of Jupiter's punishment?!" a Roman civilian who also came from Weiai scolded.

His voice just fell, but another civilian next to him defended aloud: "You should thank Sectus! He led the army to capture Viaduct, which kept the soldiers' discipline well, and did not loot and kill in the city, Victoria didn't die many people, so you can still see your loved ones when you come back. Think about it, if the Dionysians attacked Victoria, I am afraid that the situation will not be much better than when we captured Ostia. You only cry now!"

At this point, McKelius had to admit, but he couldn't help but refute: "Can Sectus ever served as the governor or military officer?! Can he ever command the army to win more than 5,000 people? ! But once the soldiers of the whole army cheered him for the victory?! What qualifications does Sextus have to ride in a triumph carriage!"

"It's funny you say this! Friends, see clearly. This is the triumph of the Kingdom of Dionysia, not the triumph of Rome. Why do you have to follow the original rules of Rome! Sextus is Laventine? Hero, hero of Roman civilians! He deserves this glory!"

The words that may have been a neighbor of Sextus resonated with many civilians. They all spoke out to defend Sextus and the Roman soldiers behind them, and accused McKelius of being jealous.

There are many civilians in the city of Rome, and people from Victoria don’t dare to refute. McKelius subconsciously hugged his child, but listened to his son pointing at Sextus in the carriage and said loudly: "Dad , I want to see you stand on the carriage too!"

McKelius felt excited for a moment, and he admitted that he was really jealous before: Sectus was so young that he had become the protagonist of the triumph, and he was almost 30 years old, and he had no achievements.But now that he has joined the Kingdom of Dionysia, the situation may be different in the future!The same is a civilian, Sectus can do it, why can't I!"

Thinking of this, he pinched the child's feet and said confidently: "Child, you will see that day!"

At this moment, it is not known how many Roman civilians were as determined as McKelius.

A unique scene appeared in this triumphant form: when other Dionysian generals and their troops passed by, both sides of the road were quietly silent; Sextus and 200 Roman civilian soldiers were always surrounded by cheers As if this triumph was held for them.

Although Sextus is more stable than his peers, he can't help but flirt on such occasions and frequently waves to compatriots on the sidelines.

When his carriage passed under the Arc de Triomphe, he looked up at the white arch that was mottled because of the years and days. His consciousness was a little trance, and there was a sudden worry in his heart, fearing that this was just a dream...

When Sextus entered the Roman Forum, the cheers here were deafening. Countless Roman people waved their arms excitedly, shouting the names of their loved ones, and interacting inside and outside the venue was even more lively.

Daeves not only invited most of the family members of the Roman reserve brigade to the square, but also brought the heavy transport personnel, engineering camps and medical camps to the Rome with the Dionysian army, as well as the various chambers of commerce. It’s also an honor for them to be in the square to serve as an audience, because in Turriy, most of them are probably difficult to enter Victory Square during the triumph, so the cheers here are not just for the Roman reserve team The soldiers of the Dionysian Legions finally felt the glory of triumph, and all smiles appeared on their faces.

Of course, for them, the greater glory comes from the recognition of King Davers on the front platform.

Under the gaze of the soldiers, Daveus, who was standing on the platform in front of the senate, looked at the flag bearer of the Dionysian flag who came up with a smile, and said humorously: "Telence, you But it will raise the selection of soldiers with triumphant flags to a higher standard in the future!"

This is a euphemistic compliment of Dalentus to Terentus. Whoever heard him was not humble at all, and said sternly: "Your Majesty, I can do better."

Daveus laughed immediately: "Okay! This is what an excellent mountain reconnaissance team soldier should say!" After he finished wearing the three-dog gold medal for Terentus himself, he grabbed Terentus Facing his soldiers, raised his hand high.

The Dionysian soldiers were cheering loudly, and the Roman soldiers were also shouting, not completely following the crowd, but when they saw this scene that was completely different from the Roman triumph, they all realized that Dioni Ya's triumph is not only related to the generals, but ordinary soldiers like them can also gain great glory through their own efforts.

Daveus then wore medals for other flag soldiers. When it was Roman soldier Valerius's time, Daveus explained to him and Yan Yuese the origin of the three dogs on the medal.

After listening to the translator’s translation, Valerius caressed the silver medal on his chest. This landless Roman civilian who had been standing for a long time, but had no wife because of poverty, stammered. : "This...this thing is worth...how much land?"

After listening to the translation, Daveus laughed: "This medal is your glory, save it! Become a triumphant flag soldier, at least you can get three acres of land after this war. more Make a military contribution, you will only have more and more land in the future!"

Varelius listened with two bright eyes.

Faced with the head of the First Army, Amintas, Dafus said in a deep voice: "It's hard!"

Amintas took the silver scepter and whispered in a complex mood: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Originally, he defeated the Roman army outside the city of Ostia, secured the landing of the army, and resisted the strong attack of the Roman army on Ostia, as well as the defeat of the Roman coalition on the upper Tiber...These results seem to allow He became the real protagonist of this triumph. He had heard that Davis had had this proposal at the triumphant preparatory meeting, but it was turned against by a group of young staff in the military department.

Amintas knew that they were right. According to the provisions of the Military Law, a commander who independently commanded the army to win a big victory can ride the four horse-drawn carriages in the triumph, to overcome the generals and get the highest honor. .And the real commander of this war is King Davers, and the victory he won comes from the planning of Davers, but he still has unwillingness in his heart.
