Effikratus looked in the direction of his fingers, and then showed sympathy on his face: "He must be Tury who only arrived yesterday, so we didn't see him in the hotel. Speaking of him It is also very pitiful. His son who was badly injured in the Greek war died last year, and their Spartans were idiots with well-developed limbs and simple minds, who could not beat the cunning asylum in the new Spartan government. The Liasis and the Black Rolls with the support of Messeria and Arcadia (The Black Rolls of Sparta once migrated to the territory of Taga Mandinia, the leader of Cardia, has a good relationship), so he, who is almost 80 years old, continues to insist on attending the New Spartan Parliament..."

"If it weren't for his constant running around, we would have forgotten the Spartans." Callistratus sighed, "What a respectable old man!"

Agsilius didn’t know that two acquaintances were talking about him not far away. The reason why he arrived yesterday was because he was ill before and his health just improved. He ignored the doctor’s advice and rushed. When he came to Turey, how could he give up such a good opportunity to meet King Davos to fight for some benefits for the Spartans. In order to satisfy his all-time wish, before dying, take a stroll around Dionia, which he has been deliberately trying to deal with for decades.

It was dusk when the passenger ship arrived at the port of Turriy yesterday. After he was exhausted, he got on the carriage sent by the city hall of Turri to the port to pick up VIPs. He fell asleep when he got on the carriage. Did not enjoy the scenery of Turey City.

Early this morning, when he was brought into the Hades main arena by a guide, although he had seen countless big scenes in his life, he was still shocked by this huge building. He looked up, as if the frog at the bottom of the well could only see the small circular sky above the tall building, but the boiling sound of the audience seat that was gradually filled made him feel small.

He has participated in the four major sports games in Greece. He has also led troops to intervene in the holding of the games several times, but it is the first time that he has seen such a grand venue. He is seriously considering this special At the stadium, a voice came from next to him: "Agsilius, it’s nice to see you!"

Agsilius looked back, but it was Peropidas, the current military commander of Peosha, and standing next to him was also an acquaintance who made Agsilius’s memory—Ipami. Ronda.

Peropidas smiled, and Ipamironda nodded to him even though his face was calm.

Agsilius twitched a few times, his face was calm, and he said coldly: "I am very upset to see you!" After that, he turned around and ignored the two of them.

It's not surprising that Agsilius had such a reaction, because he has been regretting that Sparta should not have started the Thebes war in the past few years, otherwise it would not have fallen into the bad situation it is today. And it was these two Thebes who led the Thebes to fight Sparta tenaciously for many years and defeated the Spartan army in the Battle of Leuktra. How could he give them a good face.

Agsilius’ response made Peropidas a little embarrassed. He laughed at himself, shrugged at Ipamironda, and deliberately said loudly: "I didn’t expect that they are all in the same league now. Still nostalgic about the past."

"Compare the current situation of Thebans and Spartans. It's weird that he can see." Ipamirunda said softly, understandingly.

Before the Thebes War, Sparta was the overlord of Greece. Many city-states in Central Greece had garrisons, including Thebes. Officials of Thebes government went to see the Spartan garrison generals, bowing like slaves. Master, let alone ordinary people.

Who knows that after more than 20 years, the true Spartans have been reduced to the point of dying, but Thebes, with the strong support of Dionia, not only completely integrated the entire Piotia area, but also Vigorously developed Olopus and the port located in the Gulf of Corinth, promoted maritime trade with Dionia, thereby greatly improving the shortcomings of the Piotia region and making it the second largest power in the Greek Union (No. One big power is the Holy Kingdom of Dionia. After Athens disbanded the maritime alliance and lost those sub-states, both the land area and the number of citizens were lagging behind the Pioxia alliance, but the population and the degree of commercial development were still higher than Piosha, but because Thebes is closer to Dionia, most Greeks believe that Piosha is stronger than Athens), which greatly enhances the right to speak in the alliance and also makes Thebans The status of the Greek mainland has risen sharply.

The status of Sparta and Thebes has been completely reversed for thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.

"It's true!" Peropidas laughed heartily.

Agsilius in the front row felt harsh when he heard the laugh, but he could only pretend not to hear it.

"Sit down, don't block the audience behind." Ipamironda reminded him that he didn't think it was necessary for his friend to retaliate against Agassilaus. He is a person of indifferent nature. Since the establishment of the New Hellenic League and Thebes dominated the Piorcia region, he has voluntarily resigned from all positions. Appointed to have Ipamirunda also attend, he may still live in seclusion at home.

After sitting down, Peropidas looked around with interest, and then said excitedly: "Dionia’s invitation letter to us said that they will host a unique sports meeting. I think This arena is very different. At least the city-states of Greece, including ours, Thebes, have no ability to build it!"

"Yes!" Ipamirunda also exclaimed: "Do you remember the time when we watched a sports meeting in Corinth when we were young, but we saw that Dionia players were expelled? Who were we at the time? I would think that Dionia, who was humiliated by the audience, became the overlord of Greece only 20 years later, and invited the entire Mediterranean city-states and countries to participate in the games it hosted!"

"What you said reminds me of it." Peropidas said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I heard that even after Dionian became the leader of the Greek League, in recent years Dionian Foreign athletes participating in various sports games will still be discriminated against by the Greek people, so King Dioria was annoyed to hold this sports event, allowing all the races of the Mediterranean to participate, this is the tolerance of a big country! Unlike the stubbornness of our Greek city-states Be conservative and small!"

"Do these Greek city-states you are talking about also include our Thebes and Piosha alliance?" Ipamironda asked lightly.

Peropidas did not respond, pointing to the side not far, gloating and saying: "Look, General Cleonion of Corinth is there! I was wondering what mood he would sit in here. In the arena, will you worry that the Dionian Games will surpass the Corinthian Games and become the most popular games among the Greeks?!"

"Not only Collins is worried, I think Ellis and Delphi are also worried, see, aren't their messengers all sitting there!" A voice came from beside them.

Ipamilunda stood up immediately: "Lycomides, good morning!"

"Good morning, Peropidas, Ipamirunda! I am very happy to be sitting with you!" Lukemedes raised the ticket in Yang's hand and pointed to the number on the stone bench. Excitedly said: "When I came to Turei, what struck me the most was not the hugeness and prosperity of this city, but the fact that there are so many people here, yet they can be managed in such an orderly manner! Look now Come, this is probably because the officials of Dionia are very serious and meticulous in the governance of the country~

You think, even the entrances in the arena (each entrance has a digital number corresponding to the number written on the ticket), the stone ladder (there is a wooden fence on the side of the stone ladder to prevent falling), and the seats are carefully designed. There will be no confusion when so many spectators enter the arena. It can be seen that they have penetrated this kind of meticulous management into all aspects of people’s lives..."

"Yes, think about a previous sports meeting where there was no conflict due to spectators vying for seats. Those of us who are motherland should not only be ashamed, but should also humbly learn from Dionia!" Peropidas said seriously, and then politely made an invitation gesture: "Lycomides, please sit down!"

After the Greek War, it was not Thebes, but Mandinia that benefited most from the local Greek city-states. Not only did they obtain the fertile land of the original Taigea, but they also received strong support from Dionia Established the Arcadian Alliance with Mandinia as the main body and became a major force in Greece.

Peropidas once said enviously to Ipamironda, "In order to establish the Piosha alliance, we Thebes have fought hard with Sparta for many years and sacrificed many people... Mandinia only achieved this goal easily because he was lucky to follow Dionia in the Greek war. Apollo is really eccentric!"

However, Peropidas, who is lively and cheerful on the surface, but proud of his heart, showed sincere respect for Lycomeds, because he not only proposed the establishment of the Arcadia Alliance for the first time, but also has been for many years. He has worked tirelessly, and therefore served as the chairman of the Arcadia Alliance for 5 consecutive years (the highest position of the Arcadian Alliance Parliament can only be held by Mandinians).

"I just heard you say that Dionia is going to hold a unique sports meet..."
