Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1267

[Chapter 216]

After a long time, Davos’ expression became decisive: “When I defeat Persia and return in triumph, I will abdicate and you will take over and become the second king of the Dionysian Holy Kingdom!

” Si heard this and was shocked: “Father, you are in good spirits, healthy, and have never suffered from serious illness. The doctor said that you can live to be a hundred years old. Why did you suddenly say you want to abdicate?! Please dispel this absurd idea, child. I will never agree!…”

He was so excited, even a little panicky, that he almost knelt down to Davos.

Davers looked at him kindly and said with relief: “My child, I know you are very filial, but this idea of mine is not a whim, I have been thinking about it for a long time…”

Davers stretched out his hand again, lightly Holding down his son’s broad shoulders, he said with emotion: “I have become the king of a powerful Mediterranean kingdom from a poor mercenary. Apart from the blessing of Hades, what I rely on is hard work — perseverance! From fear From fighting to personally leading soldiers to charge, from not knowing war to knowing war, from being unfamiliar with political affairs to being familiar with all aspects of the kingdom… Over the past 30 years, I have not dared to relax for a moment. Work hard! Work

hard! Otherwise, everything you have achieved before will be in vain! … Now that the kingdom’s political situation is stable, and the great cause of unifying the Mediterranean is about to be completed, I have nothing to worry about!”

Davos thumped it with his other hand. Legs, said softly: “You think I’m in good health, that’s all an illusion. In recent years, I often can’t eat because of stomach pain, and the joints of shoulders and knees often hurt… These are the problems left from the previous battles. I am old Not only is my energy low, but my memory is also fading. I often fall asleep while reviewing documents, and sometimes forget some important things…”

Clotokatax listened and felt a sudden shock. Feeling sad, he said eagerly with red eyes: “Father, you don’t have to work as hard as before, the child has grown up, and the child can share a lot of things for you, you just need to continue to grasp the direction for the kingdom to move forward! You don’t have to! —”

Davos interrupted him with a smile: “Clotto, I have worked hard for most of my life, and I really want to live a simple and leisurely life, chatting and laughing with my old friends without any worries, without any worries. Go for a walk around, see Athens, Sparta, Carthage, Byzantium… Of course you have to bring your two mothers… After so many years, how can I not know that every time I go on expedition, your mother Everyone is worrying about me day and night! Why don’t I know that I deal with political affairs in the palace until late at night, and your mothers are all staying up all night waiting…”

Davos said emotionally: “I owe them a lot, and I want to spend the rest of my life. There is not much time to compensate them, Cloto, will you give me this chance?”

“Father…” Clotokatax hesitated.

Davos smiled freely and said sternly: “The reason why I want to abdicate

is to set an example for our Hades Davers family. When people get old, their thoughts tend to become rigid, conservative and stubborn. , For ordinary people, this is nothing, but for a kingdom, it is not conducive to the development of the kingdom!

Let the heir take the throne earlier, and accumulate some experience. If there is a problem, the father and son can still negotiate, which is beneficial to the entire kingdom… …There has never been a kingdom that lasts forever. Let the successors exercise more and leave out a few stupid ones. Our Hades Davos family may be able to persist for a longer time…”

“Maybe this is just one of my favorites.”

Such a naive idea.” Davos smiled again, and said earnestly: “Let’s focus on the present, even if Persia is defeated by us in the future, and the kingdom controls the entire Mediterranean Sea, the problems faced by Dionia There are still many more, just like how you have been worrying about how to change Dionia’s national policy of establishing the country by force, to make the kingdom develop more smoothly, and how to make the regional forces covering the entire Mediterranean become more and more integrated into the kingdom without splitting… …

Also, even without Persia and Carthage as opponents, the kingdom will never have fewer enemies in the future, such as the Gauls who live in the vast territory north of the Alps, and the Gauls who live north of the Gauls and in the dense forest. The more savage and fierce Germanic people… These problems need you to face, and even some problems will continue to the next generation of Chris, or even further, so don’t worry, take your time…”

“Father—” Clotokatax was excited to say something more.

Davos waved his hand again to interrupt him: “Okay, we’ve been out long enough, it’s time to go back to the banquet, don’t let everyone worry! Remember, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential!

” All kinds of emotions were surging in Si’s heart, and in the end, he could only squeeze out aggrievedly: “Yes…”

Davos stood up, pushed open the door of the study, and looked at the dark night outside, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden. He said in a relaxed tone: “In the next few days, we will enjoy the Games while waiting for the news from Africa.

”

The wonderful performance of the Dionysian Games on the first day ignited the enthusiasm of the players and the audience, and the following games are in full swing. For all the people in Turii, every day seems to be participating in the celebration. Cheering wildly beside the arena, drinking and celebrating in the restaurant after the game…

But in this festive atmosphere, ordinary people have no idea that the Egyptian envoy delegation encountered a storm at sea, and no one knew that the first day of the opening ceremony Early in the morning of the two days, King Davos called Aristillas, the head of the intelligence department, to the study of the mansion and had a secret conversation.

On the fifth day of the competition, the finals of individual archery were underway at the archery arena west of the city of Turii. The finalists were Mecca Kiddes of Crete and Stacypus of the Turii region of Dionia.

The two sides have set up the required three rounds, with a total of nine arrows, and are waiting for the referee to calculate the result.

In fact, after each round of shooting, the target reporter will bring the circular wooden board with the arrow inserted and show it to the players and the audience to show the fairness of the competition, so both the contestants and the audience generally know about it. Match Results.

But when the referee loudly announced: “McGal-Kids of Crete, 86 rings; Stasipus of Turii, 86!”, there was a sound of regret in the audience, but then there was a loud roar palm.

At the beginning of the archery competition, there were not many spectators who came to watch the competition. More than half of the spectators watched this item that had never appeared in other sports with a curious attitude, and many of them were even unable to buy it. For tickets for other competitions, I had no choice but to buy tickets for archery venues to experience the real atmosphere of the Games.

However, the ingenious setting of the archery schedule by the preparatory team and the quiet but exciting game style unique to archery compared to other intense sports have gradually attracted a large number of fans, and by the time of the finals, it was already hard to get a ticket .

“The two sides are tied, so there will be an extra round!” As soon as the referee’s voice fell, the audience began to cheer. Of course, there are more games to be happy, and most of the audience are cheering for Stacypus, after all, Stacypus Silithaeus was a Turian, and of the few who cheered for Mecca Kiddes, Siriteos was the favorite.

In the 100m semi-final the day before yesterday, Siriteos was eliminated. He didn’t have much confidence in winning the championship. He was not too frustrated. On the contrary, because of his eye-catching performance a few days ago, some people really talked to him privately. approached and expressed his desire to marry his daughter to him.

But there are no Dionysian citizens among these people, and the reason is simple: most young women in Dionysian receive a formal education in Dionysian schools from an early age, mostly knowledgeable, intelligent, open-minded women, light A handsome face and a well-built body cannot completely attract them, not to mention that the current trend in Dionysian society at this time is to revere heroes on the battlefield, down-to-earth officials, and knowledgeable scholars, and Siriteios is not even A citizen of Dionia is just a Greek from a barren island. The young women of Dionia have become the overlords of the Greek world because of the kingdom, and their pride is inexhaustible, so there is no such consideration at all.

Siriteios danced and yelled in the audience, without causing any impact to McGac-Kids, his focus was on his opponent: an elderly citizen of Dionysus , UU reading www.sonicmtl.com But there is no sign of a fat body, but a burly and well-proportioned body, short hair without beard, sharp eyes, and looks calm and capable.

Seeing that McGawkids was looking at himself, the Turii player named Stasipus also turned his head and smiled at him, raising his hands and feet with a kind of tolerance, which made McGawkids a little upset.

“The play-off begins, please prepare for the players from both sides!” The referee’s shout made McGac-Kids take his mind back. He took a game arrow from the staff next to him, put it on the bowstring, and took a deep breath. He breathed out slowly, and the distracting thoughts in his heart were also expelled from the body along with the breath. He slowly raised the bow while pulling the string. When the right arm was slightly higher than the shoulder and the left hand pulled the bow string to the ear, he All activity ceased, as if a statue was completely still.

The already experienced audience held their breath at this moment, and the entire archery venue became unusually quiet.

After a while, I heard “Whoosh! … Whoosh! …” Two bowstrings sounded in succession, and two arrows shot out.

McGawkids didn’t pay attention to the situation of the hit, but took another arrow in a leisurely manner, and drew the bow again.
