Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

In particular, each team represents its own De Mo or town, which makes the audience tend to be more involved when watching the game, and they are more devoted. Although they do not understand many rules, it does not affect them for themselves. The local teams cheered and even quarreled with spectators in other regions.

During the ongoing rugby game, a strange phenomenon also occurred in Rome. The conflict between the original Romans and the newly relocated Dionysian citizens was reduced, and they were even seen from time to time after the game. Hiding, shouting the names of the players of their own teams in their own words, but the arguing between the Democrats...

……………………………………

When the Roman people fell into a celebration orgy, the Dionysian soldiers in the camp outside Satnikum were quite depressed: in order to prevent the spread of the plague, they had to obey the order and stay in the tent as much as possible. Can’t meet in the camp, can’t hold various sports in the camp, and even have to be checked by the doctors every day. This is arguably their most boring Hades celebration day. The only luck is that Davis The king will visit the tents from time to time to congratulate the soldiers, which is also the most direct contact by soldiers with King Dionia.

The doctors and nurses are busy. They wear clothes tightly wrapped around the body every day, running between the camps, constantly busy with inspections and treatments, especially those sent to the Romans with plague The medical staff in the camp is even at risk of being infected at all times, but even so, there are still many doctors rushing to go, because this is a rare opportunity for them to combine theory with practice.

Dionysia medical staff carefully treated and cared for the wounded and infected Roman soldiers, treated them like relatives, and gradually moved and eliminated the Roman soldiers' hatred of Dionysians.

Medical director Stacey Kodas often wrote to Hippocrates living in Turriy and consulted him about the problems he encountered during treatment.

Hippocrates, who was already a rare year, learned that there was a plague in Latham, and actually insisted on going by boat. He was dissuaded many times by his students and failed to make a trip.But then he spread such deeds for the sake of medicine and risking his life, but it inspired many Dionysians.

Turiri’s Hades celebrations and rugby games are inferior to those of previous years. The towns in the Sicilian territory are unable to send teams to participate in the war, and the best players in other cities are often the best soldiers. Either they were expeditions to Latium with King Davers, or under Alexis, between the mountains of Samone.

In addition, hostilities emerged in the Apulia region, and a fleet of more than 500 soldiers landed on the coast near Palham. They held the flag of the former kingdom of Puchti and shouted "Get rid of Dioni The slogan "Asian, Puchti Free" rushed into the nearby villages for looting. The people in the neighboring towns hated their robbers and quickly summoned the citizens of the city's Legion Reserve to form an army of 600 people. Under the command of the Second Cavalry Corps, the attack came and attacked the enemies entrenched in the village, destroying them in one fell swoop.

I learned from the prisoner's mouth that in the coming period, there may be several remaining Apulian forces that will attack, and the senate makes a decision: the towns in the Apulian region do not have to send teams to Turui to participate It is necessary to complete all matters of the autumn harvest as soon as possible and make every effort to defend well.

And also let the Ministry of Military Affairs inform the remaining 9th Army and 2nd Cavalry Corps to all stationed in Puchti’s barracks, temporarily under the unified command of the 9th Army Commander Tigtinos, sitting in the middle of the road, responsible for counterattacks from Apulia Enemies landing on the coast.

The decision of the senate has aroused the opposition of the people of various towns in Apulia, especially in the areas of Mesapi and Puceti. Team participation will not affect their full defense against enemies that may strike.

The Senate finally agreed to their request, but this incident aroused the resentment of the Apulian people towards the enemy,

In the case where the Apulian people are at odds with the enemy, very few people who are secretly connected to the remaining forces dare not act rashly.

During the celebration, there was one thing that kept the Turiri people talking.

Since King Daphes was not there, it is logical to say that the priest responsible for the main temple of Hades on the day of the ceremony should be replaced by Priesinas, the priest of the Kingdom Scepter. On the day of Pluto's birth, he should be presided over by his descendants to be able to please the dark night king and let him better protect the kingdom in this special year.

Most of the veterans agree with this, but the actual situation is a bit troublesome. Not only is Davers not in Turriy, not even his only adult son, Croto Kataks, but the other children are still young. ...

After discussion, the elders finally decided that Princess Christosia would be in charge of the sacrifice.

In the eyes of the elders, although Christopher is not a descendant of Hades, she is the wife of King Daphes and a family. Hades will not have much opinion if he wants to come.

Why didn't you choose Agnes?The reason is very simple. She is already the priest of the Temple of Hera. If you come to preside over this grand ceremony, she will anger the gods of Hades and Hera.Of course, Christosya’s influence on the elders is also the reason why the elders did not express strong opposition.

So on the day of the celebration, Princess Christopher, dressed in a white robe, stood in front of the altar of the main temple of Hades, and solemnly read the sacrifice to Hades. Her beautiful and noble face And the crisp and beautiful sound became the most memorable picture of this celebration.

While the people of Dionysia in Greater Greece celebrated to eliminate the haze brought by the war, the people of Dionysia in the Sicilian territory were gradually ushering in the most difficult time of the war.

Marco led more than 50,000 soldiers across the mountains, into the southern edge of the Catania Plain, and built a camp between the city of Leotini and Paragonia in an attempt to break the links between these towns. Lagonia is isolated.

Therefore, during the construction of the camp by the Carthaginians, the Paragonia garrison and the new Katanai barracks not far north of Leotini sent troops to attack the Carthage army, but because of Marco’s Be alert and fail to achieve great results.Instead, once blocked by the Carthaginian cavalry, the troops from the new barracks failed to retreat in time and suffered a lot of casualties, which also made the seventh army commander Breru more cautious in using his troops.

However, the harassment of the Dionysian army also caused the construction of the Carthage Barracks to be roughly completed a few days later, and during this period, Marco was not idle, and he sent thousands of Numbian cavalry to burst into Kata The plains of Niah attempted to rob the people and supplies of Katane.

However, Cypros and Leotizides had long expected this. Just before the Carthaginian army advanced to Paragonia, they had already mobilized all Dionysians living outside the city to carry The supplies temporarily moved into Katane City.

The Numbian cavalry who failed to harvest turned to destroy villages, farmland and other facilities, so a lot of fires were lit on the plains of Catania, and villages turned to ashes in the fire, The only luck is that Paragonia successfully blocked the Carthage army for a few days before, so that the people on the plains of Catania completed the autumn harvest in time.

The people hiding in the city of Katane were very anxious about the news that their homes were destroyed. The people gathered together and went to the city hall to petition, hoping that the army could repel these alien cavalry who raged on the plains.

Since Carthage's main force was to attack from the south of the Catania Plain, Leotizides has led half of the Eighth Army to retreat from Agilion to Kataney.

In the past few days, Leotizides visited the city during the day to inspect the defense and listened to the return of the reconnaissance ride. He stayed in the study room at night and looked at the map in contemplation.

When Cipros came to visit Leotizides, he did not expect that the Sicilian commander remained in the study.

"Prosius, it's been upset outside now, and you can still sit down!" Cipros said to him, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Leotizides knew what he was talking about, and said coldly: "War is not a fight for children. When you are bullied, you will immediately retaliate back. I don't have to listen to the yelling and shouting of some ignorant people."

Ciplos listened, frowned slightly, and he gently persuaded: "You have to understand the pain of the people losing their homes. Although their anger is a little unreasonable, I am afraid that it will affect the soldiers under your hands, you know. The soldiers of the Eighth Legion and the Reserve are mostly Katanai. Their houses and fields have also been destroyed. I'm afraid it will have a big impact on their morale?"

Leotizides looked away from the map, looked at Cipros, and asked, "Is there something abnormal?"

"I don't know this, but I think the soldiers will have some thoughts in their hearts." Cipros replied.

"Do you think?" Leotizides raised his eyebrows slightly, considering that Cipros was Sicily's wartime governor, he needed his strong support to command the battle himself, and the mocking words that had to be blurted out by him were hardened by him. Swallowed back, barely suppressing emotions, said: "I will pay attention to the situation of the soldiers, but now the Carthaginians are hoping to lure our troops out of the city in order to take advantage of their crowded strength and defeat us in the field, for the future The capture of Katana reduces the resistance, so we have to calm down and not be fooled by the Carthaginians. Lord Cypros, are there any important things for you to come to me?"
