Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

867 Roman Football Game

Maltius brought him a piece of food, and he started eating and chatting with the soldiers by the interpreter.

For the first time, the Roman civilians had dinner with the king, and the king was not only in charge of power, but also a descendant of the Greek deity in rumors, so he was curious and nervous, but he saw that the king was unassuming and very attitude. Talking to them gently, the parents are short, and gradually everyone will let go of their restraint, boldly talking to Davers about some of the problems they are facing, and Daves responded patiently one by one, so There are constantly soldiers coming, although the guards of the guards are more busy, but the atmosphere has become more and more lively.

Towards the end of the banquet, Davers asked, "What are you going to do next for the rugby match?"

The soldiers responded eloquently to this, roughly expressing the same meaning: Although they also wanted to participate, they did not understand the sport at all and were afraid of being ugly in the last game.

Daveus smiled and told them: "In the Kingdom of Dionysia, rugby is very popular with citizens. The game is intensely stimulated and can show the strength, speed, wisdom and overall tactical cooperation of players. I believe that after your contact I will like it soon."

Daveus continued to surprise them, he said: "The sport was inspired by Hades in my dreams, and then passed on to the Dionysian soldiers, so rest assured, I will teach you soon Learn to play rugby and will also take you to the game personally..."

After listening, the soldiers were very excited and actively asked to participate, and bursts of laughter burst from time to time on Mars Square.

Considering that there are ten teams participating in the rugby match in the afternoon, they are the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Corps, 1st and 2nd Cavalry Corps, Lucania Reserve Corps, Roma Reserve Corps, the game The venues were held at the Colosseum in Rome and Mars Square respectively, and the vast Mars Square also opened up three game venues.

In addition to soldiers who need to be stationed in the city, ready to defend against foreign enemies, soldiers sent out to investigate the enemy situation around Rome, and soldiers patrolling the streets and maintaining order, not only soldiers of various legions, Dionysian who came to Rome for trade The influx of businessmen and entourage to the stadium to watch the game also attracted people from surrounding towns such as Rome, Viagra and Fiendina.

The entertainment that these Romans could watch in the past, in addition to drama and sports, is a gladiator game. This is a cruel entertainment that the Romans learned from the Etruscans. Through the slaughter of slaves on the field, they gave The audience brought bloody sensory stimulation.Especially in the past ten years, with the increase of wars and the increase of captives, Roman gladiator competitions have gradually increased.

This is the first time they have watched the football game of Dionia.The large-scale game scene and fierce physical confrontation first attracted their attention. It didn’t take long for them to discover the overall coordination of the offense and defense between the two teams. It’s also very interesting to fight wisely in the fast movement, which makes them feel The esoteric and fun of this sport has come; and every time the referee blows a whistle and a penalty, the coach on the sidelines promptly exchanges players, changes the formation, and each off-line player claps to the sidelines to make them aware of the sport's Rigorous, formal, and elegant.

Therefore, the complicated rules of the game did not give the Roman people a headache, but let the Romans who are used to making laws and obeying the laws more carefully ponder the mystery.After a few games, they, like other audiences of legionnaires, applauded every offense scored by players on the field and sighed for every mistake...

Davers really fulfilled his promise and personally brought the Roma players to the game.

The audience on the sidelines suddenly exclaimed and cheered, but the second legion players who were opponents of the game were a little unhappy.

As the coach of the Second Army Corps, Matonis immediately came to protest.

Daveus said: "These Roman soldiers have never been exposed to rugby before. They played with you for the first time. If I don't play, then you will win very easily, and it is not fair to other legions..."

With the insistence of Davos, the second legionaries had no choice but to accept it.

Of course, Davers is a quarterback, because this is the way to lead the team. Although he is 40 years old, he keeps exercising every day and has good physical fitness. Moreover, the members of the Second Army faced the king who usually admired and changed. It was a bit shrunken and did not fight him fiercely, making Davers easier to organize the offense.

The news of "King Daveus playing" spread quickly to all legions. This is a rare sight for more than ten years!The soldiers flocked to the field, three floors away, and the outer three floors, which enclosed the court. Every time Daveus received the ball, throwing the ball would cause thunderous cheers outside the court, which also gave the Second Army The team members caused a lot of psychological pressure.

Under his command, the Roman players gradually started to play like a decent, and even won a touchdown.Coupled with the inherently tough and tenacious defense of the Romans, the score has not been pulled apart.

This made the members of the Second Legion anxious, their movements increased, and the confrontation became fierce.

Under such circumstances, Davos began to be focused on care, and even once was knocked to the ground by an anxious opponent.

The spectators outside the court all screamed, and Matonis and the players hurried over to condolences.

Daveus got up, shook his head, tried his best to smile, and then comforted the perpetrator, overwhelmingly told him: "I'm fine, rugby game, it should be played like this!"

This warm picture once again caused a warm applause from the audience on the sidelines.

After the game restarted, Matonis was amazed and shouted to the bench: "Adoris! Adoris!"

Adoris, wearing a simple game uniform, immediately ran to Matonis and said excitedly: "Leader, should I play?"

"Yes." Matonis said affirmatively: "After you play, serve as the central defense and give me a thorough defense against the opponent's quarterback!"

"Ah? Defend me...Father!" Adores dumbfounded.

"There is no way, no one dares to seriously defend His Majesty, only you can!" Matonis shrugged helplessly, then looked at him, and said quietly: "Listen, boy, we can't lose here Beginners-Romans, otherwise the Second Legion will become a joke of all Dionysian Legions. As a Second Legionnaire, do you hope so?"

"No!" Adoris replied without hesitation.

"Very good, play well on defense!" Matonis exclaimed loudly and pushed him onto the field.

Next came the Roman reserve team's offensive. After the two sides landed, Davos saw Adorius standing in front of his teammates in front of him, slightly stunned: "Adoris, you are on the field."

"Father, I... I won't let you pass the ball easily again!" Adoris said slightly nervously.

Daveus raised an eyebrow: "Oh, try it."

Adoris did not have as many scruples as other teammates. Although he was a little more restrained at first, he gradually let go of his hands and feet. It wasn't that the father and son were chasing me, causing the soldiers outside the court to laugh.

The unknown Roman people laughed when they asked why.

As a result, the field played fiercely, and laughter continued.

Of course, once the players of the Second Legion were serious and the quarterback Daveus was restricted, the roman soldiers who were novices were naturally not opponents, but when the game ended, many players reluctantly walked down the court. A game made them like this sport.

When King Davers went off, the audience on the sidelines shouted that he wanted to continue the game. Davies smiled and waved his thanks to the audience around him.

Due to time constraints, after the first round of knockout, and immediately after the second round, each legion has thousands of soldiers, all of whom will be rugby, they can rotate at any time, there is no shortage of players, and there is no need to rest. The final is the first legion vs. the second legion.

The two best legions in the kingdom not only have to compete against each other in the military, but also often compete with each other in other aspects. Naturally, they also tried their best in this game, so the game is quite fierce, and the audience on the sidelines are also Seeing quite nervous, cheering for both parties.

An interesting scene appeared again in the game: Matonis once again sacrificed his killer skills and sent Adoris to attack the first quarterback Patroclus.

In this scene, the scene of the younger brother-in-law's brother-in-law was staged again, adding a bit of fun to the tense game, and Daveus off the court also smiled very happy.

It happened to be a crucial grapple for Adoris, which led to Patroclus's drop and made the second legion win the championship by one point.

At the end of the whole game, it was almost dusk, and the lively atmosphere in the city had not dissipated.

The soldiers of the various legions are still violently discussing the errors and regrets in the game, while the Roman soldiers and the people still have a lasting aftertaste of the happiness and excitement brought by the football game. Of course, the topic is also indispensable to King Davis, they all Unexpectedly, the normally high King Dionysian would be so approachable and able to be together with the ordinary people, closer to the people than the Roman elders who claimed to be "fathers of the people", which made them feel good about the Kingdom of Dionysian. layer.
