Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Sipros continued: "Now the two towns of Niutum and Grummen, which used to belong to the Lucanias, are already part of the Dionysian Union. Many Lucanias have become Dior. Nigerian citizen. WwΔW.『ksnhuge『ge.La So how can other Lucanians of other tribes really hate Dionia! On the contrary, with the help of your Elia, Dionia can As the strength of the Lukaria tribes weakens, occupying the entire Lucania region and increasing the power of Dioria, how can Dionia not form an alliance with Elia!"

Kanios was silent and thought about every word that Cypros said. He said for a long time: "Diaonia has become strong. Isn't the other city-states belonging to the Nanyi League not afraid?"

Sipros has not fully emerged from the excitement. He sipped and said without hesitation: "No matter what other city states think, I think the power of Dionia is good for Elia, we have already Tired of the frequent wars between the city-states and the invasion of the Brutus, the more powerful the country, the more peace it can bring to the land. After all, from the past practices of Dionia, the allies who treat it, It has always been friendly, unless you take the initiative to invade it. It is far less brutal than Syracuse in the south!"

Kanios understood what the "cruel" that Sipros called. After Dionysius captured the Greek city-state of Sicily, he sometimes slaughtered the local residents and turned the remaining prisoners into slaves. No one has ever done this in the history of the Western Mediterranean, which greatly shocked the Greeks of Sicily and the Great Greece, so Canos can be heard even if it is far away from Elia. He looked at the Westopus across the table, and he was quite malicious in his mind: Is the cruelty of Dionysius one of the main reasons why these southern Italian city states are willing to form an alliance with Dionia?

He curiously asked: "Dyonia's polity is so special, it must have been noticed by the southern Italian city states including Trina. Is there any city-state that tries to implement the various city-states of Dionia? Expanding useful bills?"

Xi Puluos glanced, and then smiled bitterly: "At today's celebration, I also briefly talked to several Crotonian members of the meeting about this topic. This is basically impossible. Think about all the city-states first. Will citizens agree?"

Once reminded, Kanios realized that the conservative Greek city-state citizens could allow outsiders to share the wealth and rights of the city-state! And the city's highest authority, the Citizens' Congress, is made up of most city-state citizens, and they can't let these bills that are not conducive to them pass!

“Why can Dionya be implemented?” Kanios raised his own question.

"This..." Sipros gently patted the table and thought, "I can't tell you the detailed reasons, but the great power and prestige that Dionysian Archon Daves has is undoubtedly the most important. the reason."

At this point, Kanos also agreed, but a consul like Davers could not appear in Elia.

"But..." Cipros looked at Canios and hesitated and said: "There are still some problems with the emerging city-state alliance like Dionia..."

"What problem?" Kanios asked urgently.

West Pross looked back and wondered when the waiter in the restaurant had stood behind him. He shook his head and stopped talking.

........................

The next morning, the celebration of the completion of the Temple of Hades continued.

This time, in front of the temple, it was presided over by Daves, the high priest of Daves, to give slave freedom in the Union in the name of Hades.

Since this was the first time, there were not many slaves released, mainly the outstanding league clerk in the past year, and most of the private slaves came from the home of Dafos.

With the expansion of the territory of the Dionysian Union, the banks and restaurants opened by Clithista are also expanding rapidly, and she is constantly exploring new commercial channels, such as the Clithista store, which mainly sells new ones. The school supplies of the Dionysian school, as well as rugby and football equipment, so she bought a large number of slaves to ensure sufficient labor and at the same time give excellent slave freedom. On the one hand, they want to use them as examples to give other slaves hope and encourage them to work harder; on the other hand, Daves leads by example as a consul, guiding the people to be kind to their own slaves to ease the entire Dionysian alliance. The contradiction between the slaves and the master and the whole society.

Among the slaves released by Daves, there is Clistoya’s personal maid, Asuna, who has already said to Cly Stovia before, even if she is free, she is still willing to be a hired worker. Continue to serve Clithista, and Clithista is of course very welcome. In fact, in addition to the change of identity, Asuna's lifestyle is not much different from the previous one, including receiving remuneration, because Clithado has long paid her a close female slave.

Because family slaves spend time with their masters, they often have feelings similar to their loved ones. It is not uncommon for the master to continue to serve the family after releasing the slave or slave freedom before he dies. It’s just that for the liberation of slaves in Dionia, they have one more thing to do as soon as possible, that is, to immediately apply to the Union’s household registration officials for preparatory citizens.

After the liberation of slavery, it was the beginning of a happy celebration.

The dramas that are paid out by the Alliance and freely watched by the public will be held in the newly-built theater in the city of Turai for three consecutive days. If it is in Athens, there will be countless people lining up to compete for the number plate, rushing to admire. But in Dionia, especially in Turui, the people are more interested in the Dionysian football game. Last year, they only participated in the four cities of Amendola, Tuli, Niutum and Laos. The rugby match has attracted the attention of countless people, and this year added Krimissa, Castellón, Asprostum, and even Grummentum, who has just merged into the league. Participation (composed of soldiers who were mainly transferred to Grummentum by the Third Corps). The expansion of the participating teams has made the competition more intense, and the ceremony for starting the competition is more formal.

All the city-state VIPs of the Dionysian League and the South Italian Alliance received invitations. After the entire arena was packed, the bright bronze number resounded in the arena. The players from each city entered the stadium in turn and walked around for a week.

The people cheered enthusiastically, especially the players who saw their city were even more excited.

Amicklis watched Castron’s players line the main stand, and applauded and said loudly to the people around him: “Look, that’s our Castron’s team! Going to the front is Go Erkis, they are as strong as a group of Lucania's bulls!"

The people around them make a good laugh.

Anta Orris, Olympus, and Pleades, the three men who have just entered the Senate, do not understand why the Castron’s chief general is so excited, Kunogora Smiling and giving them a whispered explanation: "We also invited Castron during the football game last year. As a result, Laos participated, but Castellon did not, so many people teased, ' Castron’s nature is timid and weak, and he dare not participate in such a fierce man’s game. “It seems that this is really exciting for them. This year, they specially teamed up to prove themselves, even their general Gorkis. They all came out in person."

For the three people who have never seen the game, they still can't understand the kind of enthusiasm and madness that the people of Dionia have shown, but the surrounding enthusiasm also makes them infected, just like other city-state VIPs. The players who marched under the parade applauded.

Then, they saw the team representing Krimisa, because the head of the player's high wooden sign was engraved with the dazzling red letters of "Crimisa", and most of the team of more than 50 people were strange faces.

Anta Orris knows that in the past few months, Dionysian citizens and prospective citizens have moved to Crimea because of the distribution of land, so even if they join the Dionya League for a short time, this The team's technology is probably not too bad.

Anta Orris also saw several familiar faces in the team. Like other players, they were full of excitement and talked with their teammates. They kept waving to the audience. These were once The citizens of Crimea are now citizens of Dionia, and it has only been a few months since they were naturally integrated into the team.

Anta Orris was in a complicated mood.

"Anta Orris adults ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ I am looking forward to seeing the performance of the Cromisa players." Kunogolata meaningful words let Anta Orris back.

"Do not worry, they must be better than Castron." Anta Orris pretending to say easily, a few people laughed.

Eight teams finally settled in the center of the venue.

At this time, Davers stood up from the battle, and the originally boiling arena gradually calmed down.

The VIPs of the Nanyi League are shocked and envious: Davers’s great prestige among the people of Dionia is evident!

The voice of Davers sounded in the arena: "A few hundred years ago, the great **** Zeus created the Olympic Games, and the fierce competition replaced the **** killing. The Greek city-states reduced the war and increased peace! Years ago, the great Hades Hades brought us rugby. Since then, football has flourished in the Union of Dionya. People have gained health and happiness in this intense sport, learned to unite and won friendship. Today, the Dionysian League and the best players in the league are gathered here. In order to thank Hades for the gift, the most exciting and intense rugby competition will be held to compete for the only champion! Fight, players! Diss will bless you!"
