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

Davers ignores the clamor of women and children, looking down over the huge yellow arena paved with fine sand and clay, and the long strip of isolation in the middle of the arena, and asked: " Croto, how many racing games are there today?"

As the leader of the preparatory team for the Games, Croto Kataks can be said to know the entire schedule of all races. He immediately replied: "There are three racing games today."

At this time, cheers rang out from the audience. It turned out that the racers were driving the participating cars into their respective starting gates.

Davers looked at the row of starting gates at the southern end of the stadium with interest, and asked: "Which regions and city-states are players from the first game?"

"There are from the Po region of the kingdom, West Numibia, Thebes, the kingdom of Bruti, Macedonia, Cyrenaica... well, and our Turíy region..." Klow Toccatax is precious.

"It seems that the competition in the first round is very fierce!" After listening, Daves said enthusiastically: "The racers in the Po area should be citizens of Gaul. They are already good at complex terrain. Driving a chariot on the battlefield of the battlefield, now it should be more like a fish in the arena. The Bruti area was originally a famous pastoral area in the kingdom, although in the past Bruti horses were more suitable to be thomas because of their small size and good at climbing mountains. They introduced a batch of Lusitania horses from the Iberian Peninsula in the year and carried out large-scale breeding. It is said that they are not bad compared to Gallo horses.

The bay horses of Cyrenaica are also very famous. It is said that they were sold in large quantities to the city-state nobles of the Peloponnese; um...Macedonian cavalry, I believe you have experienced them in the Battle of Taga several years ago It’s amazing: There is also West Lumibia, which is also an area rich in horses. Our Hussar Corps is made up of West Lumibia... These players are all from well-known horse-producing areas, whether they are horses. , Drivers should be the result of the best selection, I believe the competition in the race must be very fierce! "Daves commented with interest while touching his chin.

"Grandpa, what about Thebes?" Christod interjected behind.

"Thebes...I don't think their cars are capable of competing with other players." Daves said confidently.

"Father, Thebes has won many racing championships in previous Greek Games, and this time the owner of Thebes is Peropidas." Croto Kataks reminded road.

"The past is the past. In the past, the Greeks did not allow foreigners to participate in the games. Macedonians who were close to them had no chance to participate. But at our games today, the Greeks will see the ability of the entire Mediterranean world to drive horse-drawn carriages. There are more races stronger than them!" Davers still insists on his own judgment: "So no matter whether it is an individual or a country, you must not stand still, but must face the world bravely and dare to compete with strong players. A bigger improvement! Chris, did you say what Grandpa said right?"

"Grandpa is so right!" Christod's little chicken nodded like a peck.

Christoya, who hugged him beside her, couldn't help but laughed and cursed: "Smuggler!"

Davers smiled kindly: "Chris, grandpa will ask you a question, who is Pelopidas?"

"The military commander of the Piosha Alliance!" Kristod blurted out.

"Awesome!" Daves gave a thumbs up, then patted the couch next to him: "Come on to Grandpa to do it!"

Christodd was eager to try, but first looked at his grandma.

"Go, go." Kristia waved her hand, and then reminded Daves: "You don't allow him to approach the railing in front!"

Davers nodded.

Christodd rushed to sit down next to Daves in excitement, and then asked: "Grandpa, haven't you mentioned the players in the Turiyi area?"

"Oh!" Daves patted his forehead: "How did I forget our own racers! Croto, who is our Turriy racer? Who is the owner of the race car?" /

"The driver is called Procris. He is the youngest son of the former cavalry hero Sobokos. He won the first place in the race racing trial held in Turriy region. The racing provider he drives today should be Riy Carriage Chamber of Commerce."

"Soboks..." When Daves heard the name that had been in the dust for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned: "I seem to remember the current President of the Turriy Carriage Chamber of Commerce...should also belong to Soboks. Son?"

"Yes, my father, the president of the Turriy Carriage Chamber of Commerce, Pebarisius, is the eldest son of Soboks. He once served as an officer of the 1st Cavalry Corps, but in the kingdom more than ten years ago In the battle to rescue alliance Vorsey and Rome, he suffered a serious leg injury, and finally had to retire and run the carriage shop left by his father..." Cloto Catacs introduced.

"This family has made a lot of contributions to the kingdom!" Davers sighed.

"Uncle Cloto, I see there are 8 starting gates below, but why did you only talk about 7 drivers?" Apox’s son Tisifonus said suddenly, he was younger than Christod He has inherited his father’s wisdom and stability, and achieved excellent grades in school.

Clotokatax was taken aback, hurriedly pinched, and immediately said apologetically: "I have said one less, and there is another car that should be... from Egypt."

"Oh, Egypt!" Daves cast a silent glance at Croto Kataks.

On the fifth day after he talked with his son that night, he received definite news from the African region: Jiehao found it, and his boat crashed west of Cyrenaica after being hit by a storm. The bodies of him and his entourage were also found among the rocks one after another under the sea cliffs hundreds of miles away. According to the chief executive of the African region, "all died of drowning."

For this reason, Daves also urgently convened a Kingdom Executive Council yesterday, persuading the ministers to deal with this emergency according to his plan: On the one hand, Dionia sent envoys and fleets , Rushed to Africa to transport the bodies of Jeho and his entourage back to Egypt; on the other hand, the kingdom temporarily blocked the news that "Egyptian delegation was destroyed by storm", and at the same time asked the Ministry of Military Affairs to notify Calsidis, quietly Soldiers from several legions gathered in Sicily to observe the development of the situation.

Therefore, although the Egyptian athletes' delegation in Turiyi is puzzled about why their country's envoys have not arrived yet, they can still participate in various competitions in a calm mood.

"Egypt is said to be the first country to use chariots among the Mediterranean countries. Chariot archers are still an important arms of Egypt. It seems that the first group of competitions will be really fierce!" Daves sighed. With a cry, he complained to the elder son: "You, we are not as careful as our little Tizi! Tizi, come and watch the game with grandpa!" Then, he patted the seat on the other side.

"Oh." Tissifonus replied and got up and walked forward.

"I want to sit with Grandpa too!"

"I want to sit too!"

……

When the other children saw this, they all yelled one after another, asking their parents to dissuade them from listening.

"Okay, okay, move a couch next to me and let the children sit over." Davers said with a smile.

After watching the children sit back, he pretended to be serious and said: "To watch the game with Grandpa, you must agree to several requirements of Grandpa. First, watch quietly and don't be noisy; Second, we must actively answer Grandpa’s questions, and if the answers are correct, there will be rewards for going home!"

"Grandpa, what's the reward?"

"You will know when the time comes. Can you meet my request?!"

"Yes!!"

"Good boy, let's watch the game together."

Seeing Daves teasing the children with a smile, Kristia gave a light sip: "This old guy!"

I thought of Agnes’s long voice: "It would be great if it were like this every day!"

Christoya was startled, looking at the happy scene of Davers and the children, she couldn't help but sighed: "Yes!"

While Daves was enjoying the family pleasure in the royal grandstand, in the VIP seat not far below it, Saustatus, president of the Turíy Chamber of Commerce, saw an acquaintance: "Hey, Pebaricio Si, I didn’t expect you to come to the racing game too!"

"Nonsense! I won't watch this game, who will cheer for my brother!" Pebaricius is a soldier and speaks more directly.

"I know that your brother has won the qualification for the Turriy area to participate in the Games racing competition." Sostatus immediately asked curiously: "But is his race today?"

"He will be there in the first game today. There is a car racing schedule announcement posted at the entrance of the arena. Didn't you read it?"

"How can I have time to watch!" Sostatus pointed to a group of people behind him and whispered: "Look, I have to take care of so many friends. I can't be too busy. Time takes care of others."

Pebaricius glanced at the crowd behind him and said with a sneer: "Master Sostatus, you really have a lot of friends. No wonder you can become one of the best businessmen in the kingdom. You should earn money during the Games. Not a lot."

"Well, let alone making money, it would be nice if you don’t lose money!" Sostatus sighed, "You don’t know, it happened in the big market outside Turriy Main Port the day before yesterday. In the riots, many foreign merchants united because they couldn’t rent shopfronts and sold goods directly beside the road. As a result, two whole streets were blocked. The patrol team went to drive them away and clashed with them... You know, These days, all markets in Turiyi were full of tourists. At that time, it almost caused a riot, which caused tourists to suffer casualties due to panic and trampling. Fortunately, a brigade of Legionnaires arrived in time to calm the situation.

Afterwards, officials from the Ministry of Commerce came to me, hoping that the Turriy Chamber of Commerce could set an example by temporarily surrendering some of the market’s stores and renting them to these foreign merchants to ensure the smooth progress of the entire sports meeting. What else did they say, "This is also It is conducive to the further expansion of the kingdom's trade to the Eastern Mediterranean in the future, and it is beneficial to our businessmen."...Hmph, I myself do this kind of trade and it is really unnecessary!
