Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

At this time, the familiar bells came from the northwest direction, nine times in a row, and nine times after a period of time.

The audience at the square turned their heads to look northward, and they were pleasantly surprised to find a huge golden statue standing on the hill of Tenjin, which was dazzling under the sunlight.

"Oh! That's... the goddess of Hades!"

"The previous rumors are true. The kingdom really built a statue of Hades comparable to the Colossus of Athena in Athens!"

...

Although the sunlight reflected by the idol is so dazzling, the people still open their eyes desperately, focusing their respectful eyes on the hills, and their faces are full of excitement and enthusiasm.

Soon they discovered that not only the idols surprised them, but the newly remodeled temple that was just in front of them was also pleasing: it was not only taller, more spacious and magnificent than before, but also painted on top of the temple The triangular friezes of the color are also more colorful and colorful, and they are still shining, like the stars in the sky (actually a brainstorming work of artisans, they crushed the colored glass fired from the sea sand, and doped it in the drawing In the paint, the effect produced by the sunlight).

The Greeks always believed that the temple was the home of the gods. The place where they lived must be a magnificent magnificent building, and this rebuilt temple on the top of the mountain is undoubtedly in line with their most extreme imagination.

So, under the command and guidance of the inspection team, the people, with an impatient mood, turned into a stream of people and rushed to the Hill of Tenjin.

The closer to the hill, the more the people feel the majesty and immenseness of the idol, but he does not give people a sense of oppression caused by majesty. On the contrary, he lowered his head and it is easy for the public to see his face. The kindness and compassion displayed has made the people want to get closer.

Before long, the entire hill was completely surrounded by the flow of people except for the temple on the top of the mountain. The people were crowded outside the guard circle formed by the palace guards. The people were stacked, leaning back and back, standing on their feet and widening. Eyes, focused on the temple and colossus.

Some attentive people also found that the appearance of the new temple is the biggest difference from other Greek temples: the stone walls under the triangular frieze on the roof of the temple regularly have many small square windows, each small window There is a sculpture in it, which looks very strange.

But what the people who stand in the distance and don’t see clearly are not aware of these: these are not ordinary sculptures, they are not just Zeus, Hera, Apollo... and other major gods in Greece, but also the Statues of gods adored by other races in the kingdom, such as the goddess Amara, the God of Vosani in the Samona, Jupiter and Diana in the Romans.These numerous god statues are erected in the stone wall, surrounding the statue of Hades in the temple, just like the stars holding the moon, its meaning is self-evident.

Daveus stood solemnly in front of the temple, next to him was a priest plesinas in a white robe, and behind him were dozens of Hades priests and saints also dressed in white robes.

Plessinas coughed softly and walked forward with two crutches.While he was speaking, the priests also uttered the same words, and unlike ordinary messengers, they could speak in a neat tone and with the same emotions, thus producing an amplified resonance, so although everyone did not hysterical 'S shouting, but it can send Placinas' words to everyone's ears on the hill like a gentle breeze:

"Citizens of Dionysia, believers of Hades, today is a day to celebrate! We have reinvented the golden body for the great Hades and rebuilt the Holy Place so that he can live more comfortably. In the temple, better protect us!

Before the establishment of Dionysia, Hades’ dedication to the Greek people had been buried. Not only did no one extol his achievements, but he was afraid and away from him, until his descendant Daves The emergence of, established a powerful kingdom in just 20 years, and respected Hades as the patron saint of the kingdom, which not only made hundreds of people become believers of this great deity, but also made Hadi The justice, rigor, dedication and sacrifice that Sisuo has been striving for have become the philosophy followed by the entire kingdom.

This made Hades feel very happy. In order to thank his descendants for his great achievements, he passed down the oracles and allowed King Daphes to bear his name. Daphes and his descendants as long as they continue to respect He, continue to perform his duties on the ground, then he will always bless this family, and anyone who attempts to maliciously violate will be cursed by his eternal life!"

Speaking of which, Plycines looked back at Daphes, bent down, and said respectfully, "His Majesty King Hades. Daphes, please bring your crown and accept congratulations from believers!"

Daveus solemnly took the delicate wooden crown woven in ebony and ferns in a black tray and slowly put it on his head.

The surrounding people once again erupted in mountain and tsunami-like cheers: "Your Majesty King Davers!!!!"

"King Hades Daveus wins!!!"

...

Since landing in Greater Greece more than 20 years ago, seizing Turriy, establishing Dionysia, defeating Crotone, driving Syracuse from the throne of overlord, turning Carthage into an ordinary city-state and establishing the West The most powerful kingdom in the history of the Mediterranean, Davis's prestige has reached its peak in the kingdom.Moreover, without the restraint of Kunogolata, Cornelius, and others, no veteran objected to the important decision of this celebration, allowing Dafus to easily cover himself and his family. A layer of divine light.

…………………………………

It was a sunny morning and Massimos strolled the streets inside the military camp.

As a military camp, soldiers prefer to call it a military city. Compared with the nearby Etruscan towns, it is indeed more like a city: the entire camp area is one mile, square, and 5 meters high. Surrounded by the city walls, they are made of thick square bricks, and towers of up to 10 meters are built every 50 meters on the city walls.The ground of the entire city is completely paved with hard slabs, which avoids the accumulation of water and muddy ground caused by rain and snow, and also allows the soldiers to walk on such a smooth hard road. Feelings-in such a camp completely made of stones, they can resist the attack of any powerful enemy.

The reason why Massimus is here is that after he joined the Dionysian intelligence service last year, he received a new appointment during the training period, allowing him to apply as a freelancer to join Go to the mercenary corps on the Etruscan border.After successfully joining, monitor the legion at all times, and report information about it and the enemy situation around it at any time.

At the beginning, Maximus was psychologically resistant to this order, because he did not want to stay away from his wife and children, and even deliberately performed poorly when he was interviewed, and wanted not to be elected.There is not much literacy among the free people who went to sign up, and Massim was able to write smooth articles in the Dionysian script and can also count. It is a rare talent in the new army, just on the spot When he was admitted, he was immediately given the job of a statistician in the first camp.

In this way, Massim became a member of the Etruscan Border Corps.Then, together with all the recruited freemen, he was concentrated in the Turiyi barracks and trained for three months.

It was three months as hard as hell.In order to enable these rookies who lack military training and have not even participated in combat to become a qualified Dionysian soldier as soon as possible, they can come in handy as soon as possible, so the military department sent a large number of military training officers to carry out high-intensity training on them Training, and stipulate that the logistic personnel of Massimus must also participate, for good reasons: the logistic personnel of each of the Dionysian Corps are required to participate in the battle as auxiliary soldiers at the critical time of the battle, and the Border Corps is no exception.But without military skills and unfamiliar with Dionysia's military tactics, how can these logistics personnel cooperate with operations?So we have to train together.

Fortunately, the training intensity of logistics personnel is not as great as that of legionnaires, and high-intensity training means that there is sufficient food security, so Massimus will follow legion logistics officials from time to time to purchase food in the city of Turi.

During this period, Massim's ability to manage money and bargain with merchants was demonstrated, and it attracted the attention of the high-level legions. After three months of training, Massims was promoted to purchasing supervisor. It is the third most important military post in the legion battalion after the junior officer and the escort officer.

It didn't take long for more than 8,000 people from the Border Corps to move north into Etruscan territory.

At this time, after many discussions between the Kingdom and the Etruscan Union, an agreement had been reached on the land allocated to Dionia. The address of the military barracks was also determined long ago, and the engineers and various Iraqis sent to the Ministry of Military Affairs The joint efforts of the Trulia city-state have a rough outline.

Following the headquarters of the regiment, Massimus entered the barracks not far from Florentia, a northern city-state of Etruria, and then the soldiers will use the construction skills they have just learned and are very rusty. The construction of the military camp was completed.

In the process of building the camp, the recruits will further learn to obey orders, endure hardships, cooperate with each other... thoroughly eliminate the sloppyness as a freeman, and gradually transform into a Dionysian soldier.

In the process of building the camp, Massim’s ability to organize and coordinate has been fully utilized, so after a few months, the legionary officers were transferred back to the military department, and then the head of the regiment directly ordered: Sri Lanka is temporarily acting as chief officer.
