Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 617
[Chapter 36 Dionysian Rugby Finals Opening Ceremony (3)]
Since these self-proclaimed daring and brave Samonai players entered the city of Turii, they began to restrain their usual rude style, because this huge and prosperous city shocked them.
After entering the arena, the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators were an invisible pressure, which made them a little at a loss, and even their walking posture became restrained.
“Look, that’s the leader of Gellney!” From the thousands of cheering audiences, Maione found the leader of Abenirum who was standing in the audience waving his arms and shouting, and suddenly looked surprised.
The players responded enthusiastically immediately, which made them relax a lot.
When they passed the rostrum, they received another surprise.
“Look, father! The following is the Samonai team that I was in charge of hosting!” Crotokatax pointed to the team walking on the track and shouted excitedly.
Davos hadn’t spoken yet, when Cristoia beside her widened her eyes, and then interjected: “Your father always said that the Samonais are not easy to mess with, and I don’t think there is anything special about them.”
Indeed, the first The Samonai players who entered the arena for the first time were timid in the face of thousands of spectators.
“Abenirum!…” Davos was very clear about the origin of this team, he said slowly: “Isn’t this a good thing!”
Cristoia is not an ordinary woman, She quickly understood what her husband meant, and said, “It’s a pity that there is only one Abenerum.”
“This is a good start!” Davos smiled slightly.
Agnes did not care what her husband and Cristoia were saying. She was the only one in the family who was not very interested in football games. The reason why she attended the opening ceremony was because of the needs of the people of Dionia and the needs of the children. It has become almost customary for the people to see the presence of the king’s family at the most important celebration in the kingdom, and the harmony of the king’s family is an example of a citizen’s family.
And the kids love the hilarious atmosphere of watching the game with the whole family, including her introverted and shy daughter, Avia.
“Mom is right, the Samonais are like clumsy slaves of the kingdom, nothing to fear. Our Zelias is the most dazzling, this time in the finals, he can definitely get a lot of touchdowns!” Brie Ants said loudly.
Zerias is the main wide receiver of the Turii team’s offensive team. He is famous for his superb receiving skills and wind-like speed in the finals.
“I think quarterback Thaddo Cassius is the best. It’s because of his cool head, clever layout, and accurate passing that Zerias can get so many runs.”
Apox said Dissatisfied with his brother, the
two began to argue.
Cynthia patted each of the two younger brothers on the head and reminded: “Don’t be noisy, you have influenced others to watch the opening ceremony, hurry up and be quiet!” The
elder sister’s words really worked. The two stared at each other, but sat back quietly. in situ.
“If brother Adoris is still in Turii, he will definitely be there as a substitute for the team.” Eunice pointed to the Turii team that was already standing in the stadium and said.
Little Aviya nodded again and again, but Cynthia was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of worry appeared on her pretty face.
Davos laughed and said: “You guys don’t know your brother Adoris yet. He prefers to appear in Triumph instead of Hades Arena.”
“I also hope that when I grow up, I can become Triumph. Hero!” Briantes shouted immediately.
“Father.” Crotokatax glanced at Cynthia and asked, “How is our war with the Downeys going?”
“Since defeating Downey’s main force in the decisive battle on the Ovanto River. , our troops have never encountered strong resistance from the enemy again. Don’t worry, you will be able to see your big brother again within two months!” Davos said with a relaxed expression, and his words made Cynthia smile again.
Behind the Davos family, several veterans sitting in Lucania saw the Samone team pass the rostrum, and Vespa, who was already old-fashioned, couldn’t help sighing: “I didn’t expect that. Even
the Samonais,
who are as fierce as wolves, have to be tamed by our kingdom!” The great leader of Potentia, Polet, who was next to him, smiled and said, “How can it be so easy to tame the wolves!
It’s just Abenirum, a town that is about to be abandoned by the Samoneites!”
“Abenirum was abandoned by the Samoneites, why?” Hermon asked curiously.
Polet subconsciously touched his cheek full of beards, where there was a long scar, which made his mind go back to the past: “Ten years ago, the Samonais invaded Potentia in a big way, if not His Majesty led the army to rescue in time, and Potentia may have ceased to exist…”
Polet was in the process of fighting against the Samonai with the soldiers of the Dionian Legion, and he had a good impression of the Dionysians. multiplied.
After the South-Italian War, he visited Turii many times, and in the case of the general trend, he persuaded Puamote to merge Potentia into Dionia and become the “free city” of his kingdom.
Three years ago, Puamot gave up the position of the chief leader to Polert, who was closely related to Dionysus, on the grounds that he was “in poor health”.
After Polert took over the affairs of the territory in an all-round way, he also knew more about the situation of this evil neighbor to the north.
“The Samonais suffered a crushing defeat. Nearly 10,000 warriors were captured, and the army of more than 40,000 people finally fled back to a few thousand people. As the initiator of this war, the great leader of Shilpini, Abenirum Of course, Veroni, the master of it, should take responsibility for this failure. Although the Samonais who fled back at that time did not know that Veroni had died in battle, the Hirpini who lost their relatives and hated Veroni. The people soon held a tribal assembly, and dismissed the chief of Veroni and elected Lesk of Beneventum as the new chief of Shilpini…”
Having said this, Polet sighed and said regretfully: “At that time, it is said that the number of warriors put together by the four major tribes of the Samonais was less than 10,000, and they were simply unable to fight. Moreover, the Samonais heard that Dai Onia captured a lot of Samonai warriors, so they all called for a truce to negotiate peace. Alas… In fact, we had to be tougher at that time and continued to attack the mountains to the north, and Shirpini would definitely be exterminated, Pentney, Kau Tiny will never be better!…”
“There is no way out. We were resisting the invasion of Syracuse, and after the defeat of Dionysius, almost all the gold, silver and food in the treasury were consumed. Clean, it is impossible to organize another large army to launch an attack on the mountains of Samona.” Vespa explained, and he did not say another reason: after the victory in the South-Italian War, Greater Greece and Sicily had enough There is a lot of land and wealth waiting for the citizens of Dionia to divide up, and even they think that the population is too small to occupy more spare land, how can they covet the barren mountains of Samona, not to mention that if they want to attack Samo The lair of the Nai, even though it has been weakened a lot, the resistance and casualties encountered by the Dionian Legion will definitely skyrocket, which is not what the Senate and the people expected.
Polert probably realized this, he just complained casually, and continued: “After the Dionians signed the alliance agreement with Shirpini, Pentney, and Cautini, they began to release them one after another. Samonei captives, you should know that the son of Vilani, the former chief of Shirpini, was also captured by us, and the tribe he belonged to was the big tribe of Shirpini, and his captured tribal warriors Quite a few, His Majesty was the last to release them, and guess what happened?”
“I remember that there seemed to be a violent conflict in Abenirum, that Gellney even asked our Dionysus for help, and His Majesty Supported him…” Hermon recalled.
“Violent conflict?!” Poulet smiled and said: “As the initiator of that war, Veroni sent almost all men who could fight in the entire Abenerum area to set an example. On the battlefield, of course, the casualties of its soldiers are also the most serious. After Lesquk became the chief of Shilpini, he saw that the territory of Abenerum was mostly old, young, women and children, and lacked labor. UU Reading www.sonicmtl .com and Abenerum is the closest to Potentia, so let a tribe in the south of Beneventum migrate to Abenerum and make the leader of this tribe Abenero The leader of the Abenirum territory, the Abenirum at the time, did not object strongly to survive.
But two years later, when Gharney returned to his hometown with the Abenirum warriors who had been captured, he saw his own land. Occupied by other tribes, his wife remarried, and his children recognized others as their fathers, conflicts would naturally break out. In order to maintain his authority and the interests of his tribe, the new leader of Abenirum made a wrong decision to use the Lonnie and his son wanted to expel Gharney and his kin from Abenerum on the grounds of “indiscriminately waging war and bringing disaster to the tribe”, which aroused the anger of the Abenerum warriors who had been released, because During the two years of labor service in the kingdom, they have completely regarded Garni as their leader.
Seeing that Abenerum was in danger of fighting, the new leader had to ask for the support of the great chief of Shilpini, Leskouk, who soon arrived with thousands of warriors, at Dionia. Gellney, who had stayed with us for two years and had a good relationship with us, immediately felt that the situation was not good, and turned to us for help. His Majesty decisively sent messengers to intervene in the dispute in Abenirum, which caused Leskuk to attempt to hold a clan. The plan of the National Assembly to decide whether to expel Garni was finally shattered. Instead, the proposal made by our messenger to let Abenerum re-elect the leader was carried out, and Garney became Abenerum’s leader. leader……”
