Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

When the cheerful music sounded at the end of the third act, the actors on the field quickly arranged into a neat triangle. When they began to dance indulgently, Max and other Roman soldiers had their eyes widened. They had never seen such a strange dance. : With the ups and downs of the rhythm, the actors sometimes act masculine, sometimes soft, sometimes funny, throwing their heads, turning their waists, swinging their hips...these dance movements are unheard of, unseen, but so fit to the music, so neat Consistent, let everyone see the blood boiling, the whole body is trembling with the music, want to dance.

In fact, when the music sounded, many Dionysian soldiers stood up, humming the melody, shaking their heads, swinging their bodies, and dancing with the actors on the field.

This drama lasted for more than an hour. At the end, cheers rang throughout the audience. Even many Roman soldiers couldn't help but follow the comrades in their arms to shout.

But soon, the Romans stopped shouting, and the cheers of the Dionysian soldiers became more enthusiastic, because at the center of the meeting was their beloved King Daphes.

Daveus was wearing a black lining like the soldiers at the moment, holding a wine glass in his hand and looking around. He solemnly said with a solemn expression: "Brothers, this time you expedition to Latham, only 4 months, Just conquer Rome and the surrounding city-states, save our allies, and lift the threat from the north of the kingdom. You will be carved into the stone for this war and remember for future generations! Your loved ones will be proud of you, kingdom I will also be proud of you! Here, on behalf of the elders and the officers who command you, I salute you with a glass of wine and thank you for the blood and sacrifices you have thrown in this war!"

Daveus said, bending down, holding the glass with both hands, holding his head high, and slowly turning around in place.

At this moment, the wilderness that was filled with tens of thousands of people was silent, and only the sea breeze whimpered.

Daveus stood again and shouted again: "This glass of wine honors you, heroes of the kingdom! Cheers!"

In the wilderness, the land suddenly thundered: "Cheers, Your Majesty!!!"

The Dionyan soldiers all raised their glasses and shouted excitedly, and some even shed tears.

Daveus drank it, wiped away the wine stains from his mouth, reached out, pressed down, motioned to be quiet around, and then he said loudly again, "Is the drama I just performed, okay?"

"good looking!!!"

"Next, I will also perform a show for you, OK?"

"Okay!!!" the soldiers shouted excitedly.

"This is a song I wrote for you!" After Daveus said this, the soldiers were more excited and looking forward to it.

Daveus coughed dryly, and the whole venue was quiet.

"We are soldiers of the Dionysian Legion,

Warriors defending the security of the kingdom,

Take up my dear long shield and spear,

Went to the battlefield without hesitation;

Parents are not willing to see us off,

Wife and child's earnest expectations at home,

With thoughts, we went to the battlefield and won glory to share with them;

We are soldiers of the Dionysian Order..."

This song has been brewing for a while by Davis. The original tune is from the famous Soviet song "Katyusha" of the previous life. The melody is simple and beautiful, the rhythm is light, and there is a trace of romance in the heroic, which is very suitable for soldiers in Singing in march and combat.Daveus took it out at this time, hoping to inspire the soldiers to overcome the burnout of long-term battles, regain their enthusiasm, and devote themselves to the next war against Carthage with a strong fighting spirit.

Sure enough, the soldiers liked the song after listening to it.Due to its simple melody, many soldiers were able to hum along quickly, and by the time Davis sang for the third time, the soldiers were able to sing aloud, and the whole venue was full of singing and lively anomalies.

After Daveus sang, the singing around him had not stopped, and the soldiers were completely intoxicated.

After a while, the venue was a little quieter.

Daveus asked aloud: "Brothers, is that nice?"

"It's so nice, Your Majesty!!!"

"Want to know the name of this song?!"

"miss you!!!"

"It's called "Song of the Dionysian Army"!"

Not only the soldiers, but also the officers were surprised: "This is a song written for ourselves?!!!"

Pride and pride fill everyone's chest, and once they stopped singing, they sang again in a louder voice: "We are soldiers of the Dionysian Legion..."

They sang so devotedly, and the fanatical atmosphere also infected the Roman soldiers. Although they did not understand the meaning of the song, they also hummed the tune softly, and the tune was really catchy.

Singing again and again, the Dionysian soldiers remember the whole song and lyrics.

Daveus signaled them to be quiet again and smiled loudly, "Next, the two heads of Armintas and Matonis perform wrestling for everyone, do you want to watch it?!"

"Want to see!!!" The soldiers shouted excitedly when they heard such a good thing.

Wrestling is the most common competitive event in various Greek games. Dionysian soldiers have practiced from small to large. Wrestling is also a regular exercise for soldiers in normal military training, but they have never seen two. The high-ranking army commander wrestled, and naturally he was very curious.

According to the tradition of Greek wrestling, both players should be naked and coated with olive oil, but the autumn night is still a bit cold. The two army leaders are not too young. In order to prevent cold, they wear black linings, but this does not Does not affect the enthusiasm of the soldiers, when they stood in the center of the venue, the shouts around them were more heated.

"Are you ready?" Daveus asked with a smile.

Amintas stared at his opponent and raised his chin: "Martonis, you always love to grab with me. Today I will let you know who is the most powerful warrior in the kingdom!"

Matonis blinked and said disapprovingly: "Old Captain, you are older than me, rest assured, I will not do my best."

"Want to irritate me?" Amintas grinned and immediately became serious. His right foot took a small step back, squatting down, arching his waist, arms wide open, ready to go.

Upon seeing this, Matt Nice immediately prepared for wrestling.

Daveus turned into a referee at this moment, shouting: "Start!"

The two commanders roared at the same time and rushed towards each other.

The venue suddenly boiled. The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Legions desperately cheered for the heads of their respective legions. The soldiers of the other legions also cheered for the two prestigious heads of the army. If there were no team officers to maintain Order, most soldiers will probably flock to the center of the venue together.Even if they could not leave the place, they all stood up, waving their arms and screaming and jumping, the scene was very hot.

In such an atmosphere, Amintas and Matonis have forgotten the Daphs's "only acting, not too serious" instructions, and they have become full of fighting spirits, and they have tried their best to think about it. To defeat the opponent completely.

The two sides struggled for a while, exhausted and panted, and even the lining was torn, and finally, Amintas, 6 years older than Matonis, fell to the ground because of his lack of energy and lost the game.

Matonis immediately lifted him up.

Amintas photographed the dust on his body, and said unconvinced: "Boy, if you were ten years earlier, you would definitely not beat me, but now...I am old..."

Matonis, who took advantage of it, did not argue with him, only with a smile on his face.

At this time, Davers said loudly to the surrounding soldiers: "Soldiers, the wrestling performances of the two army commanders just now are not wonderful?!"

"Fantastic!!!" The soldiers shouted excitedly.

Pointing at the two people who were photographing the dust, Davers seriously said: "The commander of the Armintas is 54 years old, and the commander of the Matonis is 48 years old. They are old in age, but they are still in good health. Agile movement, not weaker than you young people, this is the result of their persistent exercise for many years. Therefore, you should learn from the two army commanders. Persistent training not only allows you to enhance your enemy’s killing skills and gain more. The merits of war can also keep you healthy and stay young. Are you right?!"

"Yes!!!" the soldiers, especially the soldiers of the First Army, shouted.

This shout dispelled the embarrassment in Amintas's mind.

The next performances were Epitanis and Olivers, both of whom were cheerful and lively generals. They played a handstand walk competition, which really did not meet the expectations of all soldiers, and their funny performance They also made them laugh.

Next, the sprint competition between the head of the Third Army Lizaru and the captain of the mountain investigation team Izam, the equestrian performance of the head of the cavalry army Ledes and Kuchius, the head of the Sixth Army Trotilas and the captain of the court guard The heavy infantry confrontation of Maltius, the 3rd Fleet commanding Midolades and the crew in the mast climbing competition...

The prestigious generals who commanded the charge of the army were performing hard at the center of the venue at the moment. They did not even yell with grace, and their faces were dreadful and dusty. This made the soldiers feel very new and let them The psychology has achieved a certain balance, which is one of the main reasons that Davis insisted on making the generals perform hard for the soldiers on this special night.

However, for the soldiers of the Roman reserve brigade and the surrendered Roman noble soldiers, although they were surprised that the Dionysian generals did not put their identity on the shelf and could be integrated with the soldiers, they were not like the Dionysian soldiers. Excited, after all, they were unfamiliar with these Dionysian generals and did not feel deeply until Sextus stood in the center of the venue.
