lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

For a long time, Davers's expression became determined: "When I defeat Persia and return triumphantly, I will abdicate and you will take over and become the second king of the Holy Kingdom of Dionia!"

Klotokatax heard the words and was shocked: "Father, you are in good spirits, in good health, and have never had a serious illness. The doctor said that you can live a hundred years without a problem. Why do you suddenly say you want to abdicate?! Please dispel this absurd idea, my boy, I will never agree!..."

He was very excited, even a little apprehensive, and almost knelt down to Daves.

Davers looked at him kindly, and said with relief: "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, gently pressed his son’s generous shoulders, and said with emotion: “I have become the king of the powerful Mediterranean kingdom from a lowly mercenary. Apart from Hades’s blessing, I rely on It’s hard work—unremitting efforts! From fear of fighting to personally leading soldiers to charge, from ignorance of war to understanding war, from being unfamiliar with political affairs to familiarizing with all aspects of the kingdom... Don't dare to relax, always alert yourself, work hard! Work hard! Otherwise, everything you have gained before will be in vain!... Now that the kingdom is politically stable, and the great cause of unifying the Mediterranean is about to be completed, I have nothing to worry about!"

Davers beat his leg with his other hand, and said softly, "You think I am in good health. That's an illusion. In the past few years, I have often been unable to eat because of stomach pain, and the joints of my shoulders and knees often aches... …These are the problems left over from previous battles. I’m old...not only do I have a lack of energy, but my memory is also diminishing. I often fall asleep when reviewing documents, and sometimes I forget some important things..."

Kloto Kataks listened, feeling heartbroken, red eyes eagerly said: "Father, you don't have to work like before. The child has grown up, and the child can share a lot for you. You just need to continue to grasp the direction for the kingdom! You don’t have to—"

Davers smiled and interrupted him: "Clotto, I, I have worked hard for most of my life, and I really want to live a plain and leisurely life, and have a chat and laugh party with old friends without any worries. There is nothing to worry about to go around, to see Athens, Sparta, Carthage, Byzantium... Of course you must take your two mothers... Why don’t I know that every time I go on an expedition, for so many years, Your mothers are worried about me day and night! Why didn’t I know that I was dealing with political affairs in the palace until late at night, and your mothers were all staying up all night waiting..."

Davers said emotionally: "I owe them a lot, and I want to compensate them in the second half of my life, Croto, will you give me this opportunity?"

"Father..." Croto Kataks hesitated.

Davers smiled freely, and said sternly: "The reason why I want to abdicate is to set an example for our Hades Daves family. When people are old, their thinking tends to become rigid. To be conservative and stubborn, this is nothing for ordinary people, but for a kingdom, this is not conducive to the development of the kingdom!

Let the heirs ascend to the throne earlier and accumulate more experience. If something goes wrong, the father and son can still negotiate. This is good for the whole kingdom... There has never been a long-lasting kingdom. Let the successors exercise more and less. A few mediocre people, our Hades Davos family may be able to persist longer..."

"Perhaps this is just a naive thought of mine." Daves smiled again and said earnestly: "Let us put our attention to our eyes, even if Persia is defeated by us in the future, the kingdom will control the whole In the Mediterranean, there are still many problems that Dionian faces. Just like what you have been worried about, how to change Dionian’s national policy of establishing the country by military force, make the kingdom develop more steadily, and how to include the power of the entire Mediterranean. More and more integrated into the kingdom without splitting...

Also, even without Persia and Carthage as opponents, the kingdom’s future enemies will never be less, such as the Gauls living in the vast territory north of the Alps, and the Gauls living north of the Gauls, The more brutal and fierce Germans in the dense forest...These problems need you to face, and even some problems will continue to Chris and the next generation, or even further, so don't worry, take your time..."

"Father—" Croto Kataks was excited and wanted to say something.

Davers waved his hand to interrupt him again: "Well, we have been out long enough, it's time to go back to the banquet, don't worry everyone! Remember, this matter must be kept strictly confidential!"

Klotokatax's heart was full of emotions, and in the end he could only squeeze out aggrievedly: "Yes..."

Davers stood up, opened the door of the study, and looked at the heavy night outside. He seemed to be relieved of the burden, and said in a relaxed tone: "In the next few days we will watch the sports meeting while waiting. News from Africa."

………………………………………………………………

The wonderful performance of the Dionian Games on the first day ignited the passion of the players and the audience, and the next game is in full swing. For all the people in Turei, it seems that every day is Participate in the celebration, scream crazy in the arena, drink and celebrate in the restaurant after the game...

However, in this atmosphere of celebration, ordinary people did not know that the Egyptian envoy delegation was hit by a sea storm, and no one knew that on the second morning of the opening ceremony, King Davos appointed the head of the intelligence department to Alis. Tiras called to the study room of the mansion and had a private conversation.

On the 5th day of the competition, the individual archery finals are going on in the archery arena west of the city of Turiy. The finalists are Mecca Kiddes from Crete and Stara from Dionya Turiy region. Cypress.

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

In fact, after each round of shooting, the reporter will bring the circular plank with the arrow inserted and show it to the players and the audience to show the fairness of the game, so whether it is the contestant or the audience, I roughly know the result of the game. But when the referee announced loudly: "McGaids of Crete, ring 86; Stasipus of Turye, 86!", there was a sound of regret from the audience, but then there was a warm bulge. Palm.

At the beginning of the archery competition, there were not too many spectators who came to watch the competition. More than half of the spectators were curious to watch this project that had never appeared in other sports games, and many of them were even because Can't buy tickets for other games, so I have to buy tickets for archery venues to feel the real atmosphere of the games.

However, the preparatory team’s clever setting of the archery schedule and the unique quiet and exciting style of archery compared to other fierce competitions have gradually attracted a large number of fans. By the time of the finals, it was already a Tickets are hard to find.

"The two sides are tied, so there is an extra round!" As soon as the referee's voice fell, the audience began to cheer. Of course there are more games and it is of course happy, and most of the audience are cheering for Stasipus, after all Stasipus is from Tury, and among the few who cheer for Mecca Kiddes, Siriteos is the most popular.

Siriteos was eliminated in the 100-meter semi-finals the day before yesterday. He didn’t have much confidence in winning the championship. On the contrary, because of his compelling performance a few days ago, there were people who did it privately. Li approached him and expressed his desire to marry his daughter.

But there are no Dionian citizens among these people. The reason is simple: most young women in Dionian receive orthodox education in Dionian schools since they were young, and most of them are knowledgeable, wise, and open-minded. Women cannot be attracted by their handsome faces and healthy bodies. What's more, the trend of Dionian society at this time is to venerate the heroes on the battlefield, the practical and capable officials, and the knowledgeable scholars, while Siriteos Not even a Dionian citizen, just a Greek from a barren island. The young women of Dionian have no more pride in their hearts because the kingdom has become the overlord of the Greek world, so there is no such consideration at all. .

Ciriteaus jumped and screamed in the audience, and it had no effect on Mecca Kiddes. His attention was focused on his opponent: this is an elderly Dior. An Nigerian citizen, but he can't see any signs of blessings. On the contrary, his body is burly and well-proportioned, with short hair and no beard, his eyes are sharp and energetic, and he appears calm and capable.

I found that McGades was looking at himself, and the Turrii player named Stasipus also turned his head and smiled at him, raising his hands and feet with a kind of tolerance, so that McGades had a refreshment. fold.

"The playoff starts, please prepare for both players!" The referee's shouts made McGades regain his mind. He took a match arrow from the staff next to him and put it on the bowstring, then He took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it. 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 bowstring to the ear, At this time, he stopped all activities, 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 "swish!...wish!..." two bowstrings sounded one after another, and two arrows shot out.

Mecca Kiddes didn't pay attention to the situation of the hit, but took another arrow without hurried, and struck the bow again.
