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

The advance speed of Bruti's cavalry is slowed down, and once stalled cavalry is more likely to be the target of attack. In the dust and fog, the cavalry were frightened. They not only had to guard against the javelins thrown by the enemy, but also had to be careful not to be tripped by the comrades who fell from time to time in front of them.

Seeing that the cavalry behind them fell into chaos, the cavalry who had rushed forward, led by the leader, had to turn around and return to charge these Dionia light infantry to relieve their teammates from the predicament.

Epiteans quickly learned the news of the enemy's attack, and instead of evacuating the soldiers, he brought some light shield soldiers to meet him. He knew that the terrible thing about the cavalry's charge was not the spear in the hand of the cavalry, but the running horse, hitting a light infantry without much protection, either fractured or seriously injured. In fact, a dense spear formation is the best way to stop the cavalry from charging, but the light infantry does not have this condition, and there is no time to prepare.

Faced with the brute cavalry rushing violently, he and these battle-tested former Thracian light shield soldiers put the leather **** the javelin without a hassle.

"Throw!" Epithenis roared, and struggling to throw the javelin in his hand. The javelin flew straight and flat, and in a blink of an eye it plunged deeply into the horse's neck of the front horse.

The horse hissed miserably, and soon the cavalry was thrown off the horse.

Along with this round of throwing by the light shield soldiers, there was a crowd in front of them. They didn't look at the throwing effect, but quickly took out the inverted blade knife from their waist, raised the leather shield of their left hand, and squatted on the ground with a bow and arrow. Side scrolling. When it is too late to avoid them, they will fall on their sides, shrink into a ball, and shield their heads and chests with a leather shield to prevent the horses' hoofs from trampling. Seeing the opportunity, they would cut the horse's leg with the curved blade of the counter-blade knife, frighten the horse, and throw the cavalry down.

Just when the Bruti cavalry was in trouble, the troops led by Zpitt had already fought with the Bruti light infantry.

The interlacing arrows in the air are densely packed like thick dark clouds. When it turns into a rain of arrows and falls on both sides, it takes away a strip of fresh life.

After a few rounds, Bruti's light infantry couldn't stand it. After all, all of Dionia's archers are concentrated on the left flank, and the number of them is not comparable to that of Bruti, who has an even distribution of light infantry.

But in the center and right flank of the Dionian army, the Bruti light infantry can arbitrarily pour arrows at the Dionian soldiers, and they even approached to throw javelins within 50 meters.

The soldiers of the Dionian Legion erected a long shield wall, using thick copper shields and iron helmets to block the enemy's long-range attack fire.

The team officers kept shouting: "Stay! Hold on! Don't worry!..." Preventing the soldiers from impulsively throwing the javelin in their hands will easily cause the enemy to alert and disrupt. The team's overall defense has led to a needless increase in casualties.

Fortunately, as the Bruti infantry got closer and closer, the light infantry had to retreat immediately, quickly passing through the gap between the infantry teams and retreating to the rear, otherwise they would be engulfed by the infantry and reach the battle. At the forefront, they fought face-to-face with the heavily armored Greek heavy infantry.

The Bruti infantry finally started to run. They roared and rushed towards the waiting Dionian phalanx.

Compared with the aggressive Bruti soldiers, the Dionian soldiers were calm as a mountain. They held the javelin in their hands and fixed their eyes on the distance from the enemy.

When the team officials shouted: "Javelin!"

From the left, center, and right three roads, a long army formation of seven or eight miles, one after another dark clouds floated.

The charging Bruti was caught off guard and was instantly taken away by the lives of hundreds of warriors by the sharp tip of the spear. However, the javelin rain did not slow the progress of the Bruti soldiers. They stepped over the corpses of their comrades, and the speed of their progress accelerated, so that many Dionian soldiers did not have time to throw a second javelin, they suddenly It hit the shield wall of the Dionian formation, and immediately knocked out countless cracks in the shield wall.

The Bruti soldiers rushed in fearlessly, trying to widen the gap. The third and fourth Dionian soldiers quickly raised their shields to meet them, and drove the enemy back with lances.

For a time, the shields of the soldiers from both sides collided with their shields, their spears and spears intersected, the dust and mist filled the sky, and the killing sound shook the sky...

When the noon sun cast a shadow on the small sundial, Onatas, who was in charge of teaching Greek, announced that the morning class was over.

When the children cheered, he said solemnly: "Children, after you go back, I hope you can read Hesiod’s poem by heart, and it’s best to memorize it. For these new words I taught, You must write it down. I will check it tomorrow. Have you remembered everything?!"

"Remember, teacher!" the students answered in unison.

"Especially you, Patroclus." Onatas pointed to the child sitting in the distance and reminded: "This time I go back and have a snack. I don't want to see you stop by tomorrow, understand? ?"

Patroclus lowered his head embarrassedly.

The students around him burst into laughter.

The poor performance of Patroclus in the Greek class is in stark contrast to the fast and accurate problem solving in his math class.

Onatas left the classroom, and the students ran out cheering.

Stefros grabbed Patroclus by the arm and urged: "Hurry up! Hurry up! I'll be robbed again later!"

The two rushed out of the classroom, and as soon as they turned a corner, they heard "Ouch" and a little girl fell to the ground.

"Hey, are you two blind?!" Cynthia cursed, bending down and asking with concern: "Gitia, are you okay?"

"I...it's okay." Kitia replied weakly.

Cynthia pulled her up, turned her head and stared at the two boys fiercely: "Come here and apologize! Otherwise don't want to leave!" Even though Cynthia was the youngest, these two boys who were extremely active in class seemed like As if afraid of her, he hurriedly nodded and bowed: "I'm sorry, Kitia, because we are going..."

"I'm okay. Go buy butterbread, you won't be able to catch up if you are too late." Kitia was not angry, but reminded them softly.

The two boys were relieved and ran away quickly. Patroclus didn't forget to look back at Cynthia while running, and then quickly looked away.

Cynthia snorted: "Jitia, you are good to talk. If I would never spare them lightly!"

Gitia smiled softly and patted the dust off her body.

"Oh, yes! Let's go to my house for dinner today, let's eat real butter bread!" Cynthia suddenly remembered something and invited her: "In the morning, when I left home, my mother asked me to be noon I must take you home!"

Gitya stopped speaking and nodded slightly shyly.

Turiyi Junior School’s afternoons are usually arranged sports classes: boys do simple military training and exercises such as rugby and football, while girls run, jump and some games, so the free time at noon is not long.

Except for children in Tuli Ibn who have time to go home for lunch, children from far away can only solve their stomach problems nearby. Fortunately, with the expansion of the school’s influence and the increase of students, teachers, guards and other personnel, businessmen and vendors have seen business opportunities. They set up shops in the designated area outside the school to sell books, paper, stationery, clothes, etc. Food... The most famous is the small restaurant built here by the consul’s wife Christoya. She provides lunch to students at a low price. The students’ favorite lunch recently is the newly launched cream bread in the restaurant. There are students and even teachers waiting in long queues to buy, and demand exceeds supply.

As classmates in the same classroom, Cynthia and Kitia soon became good friends. For the first time, Cynthia invited her to be a guest at home, and received the kind hospitality from Christia. Especially after knowing that Kitia is Daves’ old comrade-in-arms, the captain of the First Legion, and the adopted daughter of Alexis, the elder of the Senate (Alexis has always lived in Amendorara and has not moved to Turei ), Kristia enthusiastically invited her to come to the mansion for dinner at noon every day, and Kristia’s enthusiasm also brought her closer to Cynthia’s mother-daughter relationship.

This delta between the Krati River and the Koseni River was originally mainly a settlement area for city-state slaves. The collection and storage areas and refining areas of quarry and copper mines were not only poor in public security, and the environment was bad, but also every day. A lot of **** was dumped into two rivers.

After Daves took over Turrii, seeing this situation, he discussed with Kunogolata and Mariji on how to manage this area.

Finally, the Union’s public slave housing area was moved to the barracks north of the main city of Turiyi. Not only did it keep it far away from the Turiyi residential area, but also the military camp was monitored nearby. If there was an abnormality, the army could be sent to suppress it immediately. . At the same time, the quarry workshop was moved to the market next to the port. The copper ore workshop was moved to the new business park in Amendorara at the beginning of the year, beside the Saraceno River, so that it could get enough technical manpower nearby and cooperate with others. The workshop formed a good interaction. The most important thing is that the Krati and Koseni Rivers, which are related to the lives and health of thousands of people in Turri, are free from pollution.

Next, Davos planned this vacant land as the cultural center of the entire Dionian League. The Dionian School was established here, and the Dionian School, which represents the highest level of science and culture in the league, The park is under construction, and it is clear that Helps, the director of Turriy Hospital, will build a medical school in the college; Mentor Tik Els will also move the Institute of Mathematics in; Ansitanos Project Set up a historical research team.

In order to ensure that students and teachers can study and research at ease, Daves also asked Heraclide to build a wooden bridge in the middle reaches of the Koseni River, allowing the frequent traffic and ore trucks to travel from the north of the delta. go through. Only the two wooden bridges carrying pedestrians from the north to the south cannot be closed for the time being, but Little Heraclid is already studying the construction of a real stone bridge directly between the north and south cities of Turriy.
