Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 941

[Chapter 279 “The Birth of Hades”]

But Max desperately wanted to learn the language of Dionia and integrate into the environment. He deeply remembered that King Dionia, who had defeated the great Camelus, was dismantling them into the army. Previous speech:

“… Soldiers of Rome, Rome has been incorporated into the kingdom of Dionia, and you are completely defeated! You can always harbor hatred for Dionia.

But please don’t forget, When you broke the Viai, you killed all the captured males of Viai; when you occupied the Wolsey territories such as Satnicum, Antium, and Vilitre, you would capture All the Wolsey men captured were either killed or reduced to slavery…

And today, when you were defeated, Dionysus did not deal with you as you did in the past, and did not let your young lives come to an early end , did not let you become lowly slaves, but gave you the opportunity to become citizens of Dionia!

I believe that many of you have had contact with your former compatriots in the Roman Reserve Brigade, and know how to become Dio

What kind of rights and benefits will the citizens of Nia bring you? Maybe not as rich as before, and it is no longer possible to use power to squeeze other citizens at will, but you will become citizens of the most powerful kingdom in the Mediterranean and be swayed by the people of other countries. Envy, to see a wider world, to gain more opportunities for development!

Well, Romans, anyway, the Rome of the past is gone, you are all facing a new beginning, is to continue to hate, and finally be met with Suppress and perish? Or take up your shield and spear and fight with us to earn the respect of the people of Dionysia and carve out a new future for yourself and your family, it is up to you…”

… up to us… …Marx read silently in his heart.

At this time, a person appeared in front of him, patted his shoulder, smiled, and asked with concern: “How is it? It’s all right.”

Seeing this smile always reminds Max of how the doctors of Dionia treated him meticulously when he was suffering from the plague and despaired, and finally allowed him to live healthy to this day, which is why he doesn’t hate it too much Dionian reasons.

He believed that all Romans who were cured by Doctor Dionia would have such a feeling, because it was the Dionias who gave them a second life.

Looking at the Dionysian team officer who has always been concerned about him, although Max didn’t understand what he said, he roughly understood what he meant and nodded quickly.

“Follow us to get off the boat!” The team officer pointed to the dock that was already close at hand, and picked up the shield gun and armor that were wrapped beside him.

Max wanted to stop it, but he couldn’t speak Greek at all, coupled with the continuous vomiting, his body was really weak, and he could only watch the team officer open the package and let the other soldiers help him take one.

This scene made him determined to learn Dionia’s language as soon as possible.

In fact, Max’s judgment was wrong. What he saw was not a town, but the naval base in Trina.

Therefore, when other Roman soldiers who were not seasick sat on the passenger ship and entered the port of the naval base, they all widened their eyes in surprise: in front of them was a port that was not known to be many times larger than the port of Ostia. Countless piers and trestle bridges are spaced apart, protruding from the winding shore, like a multi-legged centipede, daunting; a huge warship is cruising the sea on the other side of the port,

sometimes stopping to form a battle, With quick sprints from time to time, the slogans of the sailors resounded throughout the port…

Several Latin soldiers in the Third Legion proudly told the Romans who were watching in a daze: “A naval base like this, in our Dionysus There are five sub-Kingdoms (there are two naval bases in the First Fleet, Tarantum and Castellon), and this is not the largest one.” This

made these former Roman nobles even more astonished, and they were surprised to find that Dai The strength of the Kingdom of Onia is far beyond their imagination, and the unwillingness in their hearts has dissipated a lot under this powerful shock.

The naval base of the 3rd Fleet is in Trina, but the barracks of the 6th Army is not here, but in Sili Court. The two cities are dozens of miles apart. For the convenience of continuing southward, the soldiers who landed did not Taken to Camp Siriting, but resting in a new camp directly outside the naval base.

Since Davos had already made this plan 10 days ago, and wrote to the Senate, the Senate also urgently notified Trina and the surrounding towns. The slack farmers were organized by the city hall to prepare for the coming army. Build the camp, so when the army of the expedition to Ladrum arrives, the soldiers find that the camp has already been repaired, everything has been set up properly, and they don’t need to do it at all. Chance.

And when they settled down, the team officers announced another good news to them: “In order to thank you for your contribution to the kingdom in Latham, His Majesty Davos specially allows you to have a bonfire banquet tonight to celebrate!”

The soldiers cheered after hearing this, and the whole camp was boiling, except for the unidentified Roman noble soldiers.

In the afternoon, officials from Trina City Hall led the organized people to deliver countless jars of wine, hundreds of goats and other food to the entire military operation.

Of course, more people came to the barracks to visit their relatives in the Sixth Army.

In order to prevent them from disturbing the order of the entire barracks, Legion Commander Tratinos specifically allowed the soldiers to meet outside the barracks.

In this expedition to Ladham, the Sixth Legion suffered many casualties.

People who learned that their relatives were killed or seriously injured were weeping in grief; people who saw their relatives standing in front of them were crying with joy. stopped, forming a strange sight.

………………………………

At dusk, the soldiers of each legion, led by their officers, walked out of the camp and came to the prepared wilderness: There are hundreds of soldiers here. The wheat piles made of freshly harvested wheat straw are distributed in circles, with a large open space in the center and a larger wheat pile standing.

Each detachment sat around a heap of wheat, and the captains brought a few soldiers to the baggage camp, brought a few jars of wine, and several large jars of stewed and hot haggis soup, one end of which had been slaughtered, washed, Chopped goats, a basket of fresh fruits, a basket of freshly washed vegetables, a jar of dried fruit… The

squad leader personally served the soldiers, filling the wooden cups in the hands of each soldier with wine, pottery Lamb soup is poured into the bowl…

Although Max is not as excited as the other soldiers in the same team because he can drink Turii wine, he still has a noble education and expresses it to the squad leader who looks younger than him. Thanks.

Seeing that he had a good attitude, the sub-commander said some words of encouragement. He could only slightly nod his head because he couldn’t understand Dionian at all.

Finally, the squad leader laughed “haha”, patted him on the shoulder hard, and then served the next soldier.

And then the soldier’s attitude towards the sub-captain was much more respectful, which made Max feel a little strange. Of course, he would not know that the sub-captain’s name was Adoris, the adopted son of King Dionia.

Just as the soldiers began to eat, the sky was getting dark, but soon the heaps of wheat were lit, driving away the darkness of the wilderness.

“Boom! Boom!…” The majestic drum sound suddenly sounded, and the originally noisy campfire venue was quieted down by the team officials’ reminder.

Then, high-pitched and solemn chants echoed over the venue, causing the soldiers to put away the laughter on their faces.

Then, they saw a group of people with strange looks and different costumes appear in the center of the venue, beside the biggest bonfire.

“It’s “The Birth of Hades”!” Some soldiers had already guessed the repertoire of this large-scale drama and began to cheer.

Dionia’s large-scale drama has only been in existence for more than 10 years, but it has developed rapidly. Now it has broken away from the original pantomime performance, and has solo singing and solo and group singing and dancing (of course, this is inseparable from it.) Inspired by King Davos), the performance of large-scale dramas has become more diverse and more attractive to the people of Dionia. The song “The Birth of Hades” is one of the classics and is very popular among the people. The soldiers temporarily stopped eating and frolic, and concentrated on watching the performance.

The first act of the play “The Birth of Hades” is about Hades, Zeus, Poseidon, Hera and other siblings defeating their father Cronus and starting to divide the world.

When everyone was arguing for more benefits, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com Hades took the initiative to choose to go to the underworld to watch and supervise the souls of all beings after death. The gods felt that he had made a firm choice. I am puzzled, and I am ashamed of his persistence in not vying for fame and fortune, but only for realizing his ideals.

In the second act, Hades came to the underworld. The underworld was very chaotic due to the lack of control. Hades invited Thanatos and Hypnos to be the gods of death and sleep, and persuaded Minos and Radha. Mandas and Aiacus served as the three judges, subdued the three-headed dog Cerberus to guard the gate, and let Charon take charge of the ferry… Finally, order was restored to the underworld.

In the third act, the underworld was well governed, and Hades married Persephone, the goddess of fertility. Humans thanked him for his contributions and worshipped him. Finally, he danced happily with his subordinates… …

The whole plot was carefully compiled by the priests led by Plessinas. Most of the dialogues in the play were singing, and the melody was composed by Ferro, the famous music poet of the kingdom and teacher of Dionia Academy. Sanus led the students to complete it with great effort, and the last group dance choreography that surpassed this era was made by Davos, so “The Birth of Hades” was carved by the hands of famous artists. The first public performance at the Hades Celebration caused a sensation among the people of the kingdom.

Although Max was not as fascinated as other soldiers because of the language barrier, the actors’ exquisite costumes, superb acting skills and beautiful singing still attracted his attention, making him try hard to guess the plot.
