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

At this time, the staff on the mid-spine platform also started to get busy. They scooped water from the pools in the platform with buckets, and then poured water on the horses passing by...

"Why break the water to the horse?"

"That’s because the horse’s body temperature will gradually rise during vigorous running. If the body temperature is too high for a long time to fall, the horse will get sick or even die... So pour water on the horse and help it. Cooling down can protect the horse from getting sick after the race."

"Oh, that's the case! Why is the animal in the middle of the circle is a dolphin, not other animals? I like elephants and hippos."

"No, I prefer Aunt Eunice's black cat."

"That's because this arena is for racing or horse racing. The main competition object is horses, and the **** Poseidon is the patron saint of horses. Then who can tell me what Poseidon’s animal messenger is? Huh?"

"I know, I know, it's a dolphin!"

"By the way, it is a dolphin. The silver statue of a dolphin is used to mark the number of laps of the car and the horse race. It is a good wish to be blessed by Poseidon and protect the horses participating in the competition. "

"Oh, it turned out to be like this! Uncle Apox, the statue of Poseidon placed in the middle of the arena also hopes to protect the horse racing?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Is it also for this reason that I put the statue of Grandpa there too?"

Apox, who patiently answered the children’s various questions like an encyclopedia, was stumped, but he witty threw the question to his father: "Chris, you should ask your grandpa about this question. Huh?"

Daves watched the game and listened to the chattering of his children and grandchildren. At this moment, he did not have the majesty of a king. Instead, he looked like an old man enjoying the happiness of family, and said with a smile: "I I don’t know why, Chris, you have to ask your father, he is responsible for building this stadium."

Clotokatax saw his father’s intentions, and then jokingly said: "I don’t know why, because the entire pattern on the ridge of the arena was designed by your uncle Alex. I Of course the construction was approved."

When the children looked at Arex who was sitting next to Eunice with questioning eyes, the sculptor who was usually taciturn but spoke bluntly as soon as he opened his mouth said perfunctorily: "Children , Don’t you think this design is pretty?"

When the children nodded and said yes, Antebris laughed and couldn't help but said: "Brother-in-law, I usually see you so honestly, and now I have learned to lie. You might as well just say that you designed this way. I'm slapping dad's ass."

Indeed, the composition and construction of the ridge of the entire arena looks very imposing, but the statue of Daves on horseback and swinging a sword is obviously larger than the statue of Poseidon on the waves, and the position is higher, for the audience We have a feeling that the descendants of Hades are more powerful than Poseidon, one of the three main gods.

"What nonsense!" Eunice's eyes widened, and she reached out and slapped her brother on the back of the head.

"Mom, did you see it? Eunice hit me!" Antebris immediately complained to Christia.

"You are how old you are, and you are like a child, and you are not afraid of your children laughing!" Kristia scolded with a smile.

"Father, mother, and everyone...It's almost noon, so get hungry. Drink some water and eat something." Aksikus smiled and walked into the royal grandstand, followed by four The slaves, all holding silver plates in their hands, were full of rich food.

"I said Aksikus, Ribazzo is responsible for the preparation of lunch, so don't follow the busy schedule, sit down and watch the game as a family." Christoya kindly persuaded road.

Axikus smiled and said: "I can't help myself, help Ribazo--"

"Sit down!" Agnes glanced at him impatiently.

"Huh!" Aksikus nodded and sat down quickly, facing this mother-in-law who hadn't talked much, he was always a little nervous.

When he sat down, he immediately held up a jar of syrup and handed it over: "Ivia, for you."

Avia smiled and took it.

"Attention, everyone, there is still the last half lap!" Antebris's shout once again focused all the eyes of the royal family on the arena.

After turning the last turn, the Egyptian car was still at the forefront, Procris followed closely, and the two cars moved a little apart from the other cars.

There is a 500-meter straight ahead. The staff has already pulled up the red strips at the end. The winner of this round will be selected among them.

Procris was anxious. He looked at the Egyptian car on the inner side. His car was still a horse's head away from him.

The Egyptians are really too stable. Since the first lap until now, they have been in the first place and have never been surpassed, but Procris is not reconciled to give up: there is still the last half of the lap, so don’t fight at this time , When will you stay!

He raised his whip and hit the mare in the middle with a moderate force, while shouting: "Effela! Efila! Run! Run! Run! Run!... …"

It seems to have understood what Procris said. The beautiful mare trembles its slender neck and makes a crisp and sweet neigh. The tired four hooves move faster, and the decayed speed suddenly increases. stand up.

The stallions also speed up at the same time, and are vying to neigh, all wanting to show their strength in front of their beloved girl.

Procliss's car was pulled hard by them, not only catching up with the Egyptian car, but also slightly surpassing it.

When the Egyptian driver saw this, he also tried his best to speed up the car.

The two cars raced side by side on the wide track.

The enthusiasm of the audience has also reached its peak. Almost all stood up, dancing with their hands, and bursts of cheers were waved higher than the waves. This warm atmosphere not only infused the riders, but also the horses with great strength.

The horses hopped into the air with four hoofs, the original soft mane and pony tail were floating straight in the air, and the sweat on their bodies was swaying around with the powerful contraction and relaxation of their muscles...

"It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!" Ariks once again reveled in front of the railing.

The distance of 500 meters is just a short moment for a full-speed Mercedes-Benz car.

So fast! When the two cars crossed the finish line, many spectators could not even tell who had won the victory until the field staff handed the flag of the Dionian Kingdom to Procris, who wore it and drove the carriage. As they walked slowly around the field, the audience clapped desperately for him: Can you not be extremely excited? Because the winner is Turiyi, who is the real one!

Prokris waved his hands to the audience around him and smiled very happily. Although the car race is not over, he will participate in the next few days in the next few days, and may not even win the final championship, but at this moment He fully enjoys his own glory.

……………………………………………………………………………………

On July 15, the last day of the Dionian Games, according to the latest medal list announced by the preparatory team, Athens ranked first, and Arcadia led by Mandinia was second. The Alliance and Alice are tied, and the third place is the Turiyi region of the Kingdom of Dionian and the Piosha Alliance led by Thebes. According to the rules set by the Dionian Games, in the finals of each event, three points are awarded for the championship, two points for the second place, and one point for the third place. The top three points of this medal list are also different. One or two points shows the fierce competition.

Athens’s ranking first is expected by the old spectators of many sports games. After all, it has a long history of sports culture, a large population and abundant financial resources to cultivate outstanding athletic talents. At the Games, there is no shortage of Athenians who have won the championship. It is a veritable sports competitive power. This time it is eye-catching in the traditional competitions at the Dionian Games, which is not surprising.

It’s another strong native of Greece – Sparta’s performance is disappointing. They have only scored a poor two points so far, and it used to be the best at competition-heavy racing, even No rankings were won.

Of course this is understandable, because since Dionia conquered Sparta and rebuilt the new government, the new Spartan government has long taken the original Spartans proud and implemented it during these five years. The political system reformed by Lakugu for hundreds of years was thrown into the garbage dump. Naturally, the military tradition of survival of the fittest from infancy to young people persisted by the citizens of Spartan for a long time was also cancelled. The former Spartan Daring fighters either farm in the fields or learn to sail and do business in the harbor. Their physical fitness and skills have been abandoned, and they are completely unable to compete with the strong players.

The players who replaced Sparta and monopolized the heavy-duty race are naturally the players from the Kingdom of Dionian. Not only are they in the heavy-duty race, these Dionian players also include the newly created military 5 The top 8 of the event, and also showed strong advantages in archery, javelin, horse riding, racing, rowing racing, so that the invited envoys from the friendly city-states and forces would look at them, because these events are related to The military is closely related, and from this aspect, the power of Dionia can be demonstrated.

The last race of the Dionian Games is still left-the marathon. At the time, the preparatory team for the sports meeting had a lot of controversy when setting the marathon route.
