Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1113

[Chapter 62 Hades. Davers]

At this time, the familiar bell came from the northwest, with nine ringing in succession, and then another nine ringing after a period of time.

The audience on the side of the square turned their heads to look north, and were pleasantly surprised to find that there was a huge golden statue standing on the hill of the gods, which was extremely dazzling under the sunlight.

“Oh! That’s…the Statue of Hades!”

“The previous rumors were true, and the kingdom really built a statue of Hades that rivaled the Colossus of Athena in Athens!”

…

despite the sunlight reflected by the statue It was so dazzling, but the people still desperately opened their eyes and focused their reverence on the hills, their faces full of excitement and enthusiasm.

They soon discovered that it was not only the idols that surprised them, but the newly remodeled temple that had just unfolded before them: not only was it taller and more splendid than ever before, but also had pictures painted on top of it. The triangular frieze is also brighter and more colorful, and it is still shining like the stars in the sky (actually a brainstorming initiative of artisans, who crushed the stained glass made of sea sand and mixed it into the drawing. in the paint, the effect produced by the sunlight).

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

Therefore, under the command and leadership of the inspection team, the people turned into a stream of people and flocked to the Hill of the Gods with impatient mood.

The closer to the hill, the more people feel the majesty and gigantic of the statue, but he does not give people a sense of oppression caused by majesty. On the contrary, his head is lowered, and it is easy for the people to see his face clearly. The kindness and compassion shown make people want to get closer.

Before long, the entire hill was completely surrounded by people except around the temple on the top of the mountain. The people crowded around the warning circle formed by the palace guards. Eyes, focused on the temple and the colossus.

Some attentive people also found that the biggest difference between the appearance of the new temple and other Greek temples is that there are regularly many small square windows on the stone wall under the triangular frieze on the roof of the temple. There is a sculpture in it, which looks very strange.

But what the people who are standing in the distance and can’t see clearly is that these are not ordinary sculptures. They are not only the main Greek gods such as Zeus, Hera, Apollo, etc., but also the Brutians. The goddess Amara, the Samonaite god Vosani, the Romans Jupiter, Diana… etc. Statues of gods revered by other races in the kingdom.

These numerous statues of gods are erected in the stone walls, surrounding the statue of Hades in the temple, like the stars holding the moon, its meaning is self-evident.

Davos stood in front of the temple with a solemn expression. Beside him was the scepter priest Plessinas in white robes, and behind him were dozens of Hades priests and saintess also dressed in white robes.

Plessinas coughed lightly and took two steps forward slowly on crutches.

At the same time as he spoke, the priests also spoke in the same words, and unlike ordinary telephonists, they were able to speak in a neat tone and with the same emotion, thus creating an amplified resonance, so although everyone was not hysterical The shouts of , but like a gentle breeze and drizzle, the words of Plessinas can be sent to the ears of every citizen on the hill:

“Citizens of Dionia, believers of Hades, today is a worthy Happy days! We have rebuilt the golden body for the great Hades and rebuilt the dwelling of the gods, so that he can live more comfortably in the temple and protect us better!

Before Dionia was established, ha The dedication that Dies once made to the Greek people has been buried all the time. Not only did no one praise his achievements,

but they feared and stayed away from him until the appearance of his descendant, Davos, in just 20 years. He built a powerful kingdom in time, and honored Hades as the kingdom’s patron saint, which not only made hundreds of people become believers of this great god, but also made the justice, justice and justice that Hades fought for all the time. Strictness, dedication, and sacrifice have become the concepts followed by the people of the entire kingdom.

This made Hades very happy. In order to thank his descendants for the great deeds he had done for him, he passed down an oracle, allowing King Davos to bear his name, and Davos and his descendants should continue to honor him. If he continues to perform his duties on the ground, then he will always bless this family, and anyone who attempts to maliciously invade will be cursed by him forever!

Having

said this, Plessinas looked back at Davos, bent down, and said respectfully, “Holy King Hades. His Majesty Davos, please take your crown and accept the congratulations of the believers!”

Davos solemnly took the

delicate wooden crown woven with ebony and ferns in the black tray, and slowly put it on his head.

The surrounding people burst into cheers like a tsunami again .

: “His Majesty King Davos Wan Sheng!

!

!

”

“King Hades. Davos is victorious!”

!

!

”

…

Since landing in Greater Greece more than 20 years ago, capturing Turii, establishing Dionia, defeating Crotone, driving Syracuse from the throne of overlord, and reducing Carthage to an ordinary city-state, The most powerful kingdom in the history of the Western Mediterranean has been established, and Davos’ prestige has reached its peak in the kingdom. Besides, without the restraint of Kunogolata, Cornerus and others, there will be no elders against each other. The important decision of this celebration was opposed, allowing Davers to easily put a layer of divine light on himself and his family.

………………………………

It was a sunny morning. , Maximus wandered the streets inside the barracks.

Said it was barracks, the soldiers preferred to call it a military city, and it really looked more like a city than the nearby Etruscan towns: the entire barracks It occupies a square mile and is surrounded by a 5-meter-high city wall, which is made of thick square bricks, and there are towers up to 10 meters high every 50 meters on the city wall. The ground of the entire city is completely made of hard It is paved with slate, which avoids the accumulation of water and muddy ground caused by rain and snow, and also allows the soldiers to walk on such a flat and hard road, and they always have a solid feeling in their hearts – in such a completely In the stone camp, they can withstand the attack of any powerful enemy.

Maximus is here because, after joining the Dionysian Intelligence Service last year, he received a new appointment during his training, allowing him to apply as a freeman to join the Mercenaries on their way to the Etruscan border.

After successfully joining, monitor this army at all times, and report information about it and the surrounding enemy situation 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 during the interview and assessment, wanting to be selected or not.

However, among the freedmen who went to sign up, there were not many literate people, and Maximus was able to write smooth articles in Dionysian script, and he could also count. When he was admitted, he was immediately given the position of a statistician in a transportation battalion.

In this way, Maximus became a member of the Etruscan Frontier Corps.

He was then gathered together with all the freedmen who had been recruited in the Turiyi barracks, where he 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 battles to become qualified Dionian soldiers as soon as possible, they can be used as soon as possible, so the Ministry of Military Affairs sent a large number of military training officers to carry out high-intensity training on them. Training, and it is stipulated that the logistics personnel such as Maximus must also participate, because there are good reasons: the logistics personnel of the various legions of Dionia are to participate in the battle as auxiliary soldiers at the critical time of the battle, and the frontier legion is no exception.

But without military skills and unfamiliar with Dionia’s military tactics, how can these logisticians cooperate in combat?

So let’s train together.

Fortunately, the training intensity of logistics personnel is not as great as that of legionnaires.

sonicmtl.com and high-intensity training means that there must be sufficient food security, so Maximus will follow the legion logistics officers from time to time to buy food in the city of Turii.

During this period, Maxims’ ability to manage money well and bargain with vendors was demonstrated, and attracted the attention of the top executives of the legion. By the end of the three-month training camp, Maximus had been promoted to purchasing director. It is the third most important military post in the Legion’s baggage battalion after the baggage officer and the escort officer.

Before long, more than 8,000 troops from the Frontier Corps headed north into Etruscan territory.

At this time, after many discussions between the kingdom and the Etruscan alliance, an agreement had been reached on the land allocated to Dionia, the address of the military camp had long been determined, and engineers dispatched by the Ministry of Military Affairs and various Iraqi A rough outline was formed by the joint efforts of the labor provided by the Trurian city-state.

Maximus followed the legionary headquarters to a barracks not far from the northern Etruscan city-state of Florentia, and then the soldiers had to use their newly learned and still very rusty construction skills to put the entire Barracks construction completed.

In the process of building the camp, the recruits will further learn to obey orders, bear hardships and stand hard work, and cooperate with each other… Thoroughly remove the laxity of being a free citizen, and gradually transform into a Dionian Legionnaire.

And also in the process of building the battalion, Maximus’ ability to organize and coordinate has also been fully exerted, so after a few months, the Legion’s baggage officer was transferred back to the Military Affairs Department, and then the legion commander directly ordered: by Maximus Sri Lanka is temporarily acting as a baggage officer.
