Martius brought him a piece of food, and he began to eat the food while chatting with the soldiers by an interpreter.

This is the first time that Roman civilians have a meal with a king, and this king is not only in power, but is also rumored to be a descendant of a Greek god, so he was curious and nervous, but saw that the king was unassuming. , I chatted with them in a very gentle manner, and gradually everyone let go of their restraints, and boldly talked to Davers about some of the problems they are facing now, and Davers patiently made them one by one. Respond, so there are soldiers coming in constantly, although the guards of the guards are more busy, but the atmosphere has become more and more lively.

At the end of the banquet, Daves asked: "What are your preparations for the next football game?"

The soldiers responded in a rush to this, generally expressing the same meaning: Although they also want to participate, they don't understand the sport at all, and they are afraid of making a fool of themselves in the game.

Davers smiled and told them: "In the Kingdom of Dionia, rugby is very popular with citizens. The game is intense and exciting, and it can show the players' strength, speed, wisdom, and overall tactical coordination. I believe You will like it soon after you come in contact."

Davers continued to surprise them. He said: "This sport was inspired by Hades in my dream and then taught to the Dionian soldiers, so you can rest assured that I will be very Hurry up and teach you how to play rugby, and will take you to the game personally..."

The soldiers were very excited after hearing this, and eagerly asked to participate. From time to time, bursts of laughter broke out in Mars Square.

Considering that there are ten teams participating in the rugby game in the afternoon, they are the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th Army, 1st and 2nd Cavalry Army, Lucania Reserve, and Rome Reserve The team and the competition venues were held in the Roman Arena and Mars Square, and the vast Mars Square also opened up three competition venues.

In addition to the soldiers who need to garrison the city and be ready to defend against foreign enemies, the soldiers who are sent out to detect the enemy situation around Rome, and the soldiers who patrol the neighborhoods and maintain order, not only the soldiers of the various legions, and the soldiers who come to Rome for trade. The influx of Onia merchants and entourages to watch the game also attracted some people from Rome, Viais, and Phodines.

In addition to drama and sports competitions, the entertainment that these Romans could watch in the past is the gladiator game. This is a cruel entertainment that the Romans learned from the Etruscans. Carnage brings **** sensory stimulation to the audience. Especially in the past ten years, with the increase of wars and more prisoners, there have been more gladiator matches in Rome.

It was the first time they watched a football game in Dionia. The grand game scene and fierce physical confrontation first attracted their attention. It didn't take long for them to discover the overall coordination of offense and defense between the two teams. It was also very interesting to fight wits and bravery in fast sports, which made them feel When it comes to the profoundness and fun of the sport; and every time the referee blows the whistle to make a penalty, the coach on the sidelines changes players and formations in a timely manner, and every off-field player claps hands to the sidelines to make them aware of the sport. Rigorous, formal, and elegant.

Therefore, the complicated rules of the game did not make the Romans feel a headache, but made these Romans who are used to enacting and observing the law to ponder the mystery more carefully. After a few games, they were like other Legionnaire spectators, applauding every attack scored by the players on the field, and sighing for every mistake...

Daves really fulfilled his promise and personally brought the Roma players to the game.

The audience on the sidelines suddenly exclaimed and cheered, but the players of the Second Corps, who were the opponents of the game, were a little unhappy.

Matonis, the commander of the Second Corps as a coach, came to protest immediately.

Daves said: "These Roman soldiers have never been involved in rugby before. They played against you for the first time. If I don’t play, then you will win easily. It’s not fair to other legions... …"

At Daves' insistence, the players of the Second Army had no choice but to accept it.

Daves is of course a quarterback, because he can lead the team in this way. Although he is 40 years old, he exercises every day, has good physical fitness, and the members of the Second Corps face the usual admiration. The king became a little shy and did not conduct a fierce confrontation against him, allowing Davers to organize the attack more easily.

The news of "King Daves playing" soon spread to the various legions. This is a rare spectacle in more than ten years! Soldiers flocked to the arena one after another, leaving the third and outer third floors, and the court was completely blocked. Every time Daves catches the ball or throws the ball, it will cause thunderous cheers outside the court, which is also to the Second Army. The players caused a lot of psychological pressure.

Under his command, the Roma players gradually began to play decently and even scored a touchdown. Coupled with the inherent tenacity and tenacious defense of the Romans, the score has not been opened.

This caused the members of the Second Army to become a little anxious, their movements became bigger, and the confrontation became fierce.

Under such circumstances, Daves began to receive intensive care, and was even knocked to the ground by a dizzy opponent once.

The audience outside the field shouted in exclamation, and Matonis and the players were also frightened and hurriedly came over to express their condolences.

Davers got up, shook his head, smiled as best as he could, then comforted the bewildered perpetrator, and told him in a gentle tone: "I'm okay. Rugby matches, I should play like this!"

This warm picture once again evoked warm applause from the audience on the sidelines.

After the game restarted, Martonis had an idea and shouted to the bench: "Adoris! Adoris!"

Adoris, wearing a simple game uniform, immediately ran in front of Matonis, and said excitedly: "Captain, it's time for me to play?!"

"Yes." Matonis said affirmatively: "After you are on the court, you will serve as a central defense and give me a complete defense of the opponent's quarterback!"

"Ah? Defend me... Father!" Adoris was dumbfounded.

"There is no way, others dare not seriously defend your Majesty, only you can!" Matonis shrugged helplessly, then looked at him, and said in a deep voice: "Listen, kid, we can't Lost here to the beginner-the Romans, otherwise the Second Legion will become a joke for all the Dionian Legions. As a soldier of the Second Legion, do you want this?!"

"No!" Adoris answered without hesitation.

"Very good, play well on the court!" Matonis exclaimed and pushed him onto the court.

Next is the offense of the Roma reserve team. After the two sides are in position, Daves saw Adoris standing opposite his front teammate, and was slightly taken aback: "Adoris, you are on the field."

"Father, I...I won't let you pass the ball easily again!" Adoris said nervously.

Davers raised his eyebrows: "Oh, then try."

Adoris did not have as much scrupulousness as other teammates. Although he was a little cautious at the beginning, he gradually let go of his hands and feet. It was not a scene of father and son chasing after me, which attracted the soldiers outside the field. laugh.

The unknown Roman people also laughed after asking why.

As a result, the game was fierce and there was constant laughter off the court.

Of course, once the players of the Second Army are serious and the quarterback Davers is restricted, the roman soldiers are naturally not opponents, but when the game is over, many players reluctantly walk off the court. Just this game made them like the sport.

When King Davos left the field, the audience on the sidelines shouted hope that he would continue the game, Daves smiled and waved to the surrounding audience to express gratitude.

Due to time constraints, after the first round of the elimination round and immediately after the second round, there are thousands of soldiers in each legion, and all of them are capable of rugby. They can rotate at any time. There is no shortage of players, and there is no need. Rest, the final final is the 1st Army vs. the 2nd Army.

The two legions that are among the best in the kingdom not only compete in the military, but also often compete with each other in other aspects. Naturally, they also tried their best in this game. Therefore, the competition was quite fierce. The audience also watched quite nervously and kept cheering on both sides.

An interesting scene once again appeared in the game: Matonis once again offered his killer skill and sent Adoris to raid the quarterback Patroclus of the First Army.

This scene of my brother-in-law vs. my brother-in-law was staged again, adding a bit of fun to the tense game, and Davers off the court also laughed happily.

It happened to be a crucial tackle for Adoris, which caused Patroclus to drop the ball, making the Second Army win the championship by one point.

At the end of the entire game, it was almost dusk, and the lively atmosphere in the city had not yet dissipated.

The soldiers of the legions are still discussing the mistakes and regrets in the game. The Roman soldiers and the people are still reminiscing about the happiness and excitement brought to them by the rugby game. Of course, King Daves is also indispensable in the topic. They did not expect that the king of Dionia, who is usually aloft, would be so approachable, able to mingle with ordinary people, and be closer to the people than the Roman elders who claim to be "the father of the people", which made them feel good about the kingdom of Dionia. One more floor.
