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

When the cheerful music sounded at the end of the third act, the actors on the field quickly formed a neat triangle and began to indulge in dancing. Max and the other Roman soldiers had their eyes widened. They had never seen this before. Peculiar dance: Accompanied by the ups and downs of the rhythm, the actors sometimes act masculine, sometimes soft, sometimes funny, shaking their heads, turning their waists, swinging their hips... these dance moves are unheard of and unseen, but they fit the music so well. It was so neat and consistent that everyone watched with enthusiasm, and the whole body was trembling with the music point, wanting to dance wildly.

In fact, when the music sounded, many Dionian soldiers stood up, humming the melody, shaking their heads and bodies on the spot, and dancing with the actors on the field.

The drama lasted for more than an hour. When it ended, there was cheers from the audience. Even many Roman soldiers couldn't help but yelled with their comrades next to them.

But soon, the Romans stopped yelling, but the cheers of the Dionian soldiers were even more enthusiastic, because at this time their beloved King Daves stood in the middle of the meeting place.

Davos is now wearing the same black lining as the soldiers, holding a wine glass in his hand, looking around, and exclaiming solemnly: "Brothers, this time you expedition to Latham, it only took 4 In just a few months, he conquered Rome and the surrounding city-states, saved our allies, and lifted the threat to the north of the kingdom. You will be engraved on stone tablets because of this war, which will be remembered for future generations! Your relatives will regard you as Rong, the kingdom will be proud of you too! Here, on behalf of the Senate and on behalf of the generals who command you, I offer you a glass of wine and thank you for your blood and dedication in this war. Sacrifice!"

Daves said, bending down, holding the wine glass in both hands, holding his head high, and slowly turning around in place.

At this moment, the wilderness filled with tens of thousands of people is silent, only the sea breeze is sobbing.

Davers stood still and shouted again: "This glass of wine toasts you, heroes of the kingdom! Cheers!"

Thunder suddenly appeared in the wilderness: "Cheers, Your Majesty!!!..."

The Dionian soldiers all raised their wine glasses, shouting excitedly, and some even shed tears.

Davers drank it dry, wiped the wine stains from his mouth, stretched out his hand, pressed down, signaled to be quiet around him, and then said loudly, "Does the drama we performed just now look good?"

"Good-looking!!!"

"Next, I will also perform a show for you, OK?"

"Okay!!!..." the soldiers shouted excitedly.

"This is a song I wrote for you!" After Daves said this, the soldiers were more excited and more looking forward to it.

Davos coughed twice, and the whole hall fell silent.

"We are soldiers of the Dionian Legion,

Warriors who defend the security of the kingdom,

Pick up my dear long shield and stabbing spear,

Go to the battlefield without hesitation;

Parents are not willing to see us off,

The ardent expectations of his wife and children at home,

We rushed to the battlefield with our thoughts, to win the glory and share with them;

We are soldiers of the Dionian regiment..."

Daves has been brewing this song for a while. The original song comes from the famous Soviet song "Katyusha" in the previous life. The melody is simple and beautiful, the rhythm is brisk, and there is a touch of romance in the heroic, which is very suitable. The soldiers sang in marches and battles. Daves took it out at this time, hoping to inspire the soldiers to overcome the fatigue of long-term battles, radiate enthusiasm, and invest in the next war against Carthage with vigorous fighting spirit.

Sure enough, the soldiers fell in love with this song after listening to it. Due to its simple melody, many soldiers were able to sing in a low voice soon. By the time Daves sang it for the third time, the soldiers could sing loudly, and the whole venue was very lively and singing.

After Daves sang, the surrounding singing has not stopped, and the soldiers are completely intoxicated.

After a while, the venue was a little quieter.

Davers asked loudly: "Brothers, how do you listen?"

"It's so nice, Your Majesty!!!"

"Want to know the name of this song?!"

"Want!!!"

"It's called "Song of the Legion of Dionian"!"

Not only the soldiers, but even the officers were surprised: "Is this a song written to ourselves?!!!"

Pride and pride fill everyone's chest, and they once stopped singing in unison with a louder voice: "We are soldiers of the Dionian Legion..."

They sang so devotedly, and the fanatical atmosphere also infected the Roman soldiers. Although they didn't understand the meaning of the song, they also hummed the tune softly, which was really catchy.

Sing it over and over again, and the Dionian soldiers memorized the entire tune and lyrics.

Davers motioned them to calm down again, and smiled and said loudly: "Next, the two commanders of Armintas and Matonis will perform wrestling for everyone, do you want to see it?!"

"Want to see!!!..." The soldiers shouted in excitement when they heard that there was such a good thing.

Wrestling is the most common sports event in various Greek games. Dionian soldiers have practiced from childhood to older age. Wrestling is also a regular event to train soldiers in military training, but they have never I was naturally very curious when I saw two high-ranking legion chiefs wrestling.

According to the tradition of Greek wrestling, both players should be naked and coated with olive oil, but the autumn night is still a bit cold, and the two corps leaders are not young anymore. In order to prevent colds, they both wear black linings. But this did not affect the enthusiasm of the soldiers. When they stood in the center of the meeting place, the shouts around them became more enthusiastic.

"Are you ready?" Davers asked with a smile.

Amintas stared at his opponent and raised his chin: "Martonis, you always love to fight with me. Today I will let you know who is the most powerful fighter in the kingdom!"

Martonis blinked and said disapprovingly: "Old Captain, you are older than me, don't worry, I will not try my best."

"Want to irritate me?" Amintas grinned, and then became serious. His right foot took a small step back, squatted, bowed, arms open, ready to go. .

Matnis saw this and immediately got ready for wrestling.

Daves turned into a referee at the moment and shouted: "Start!"

The two captains roared at the same time and rushed towards each other.

The hall suddenly boiled. The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd regiments desperately cheered for their respective commanders, while the soldiers of the other regiments cheered for the two commanders who are very famous in the army at the same time. If there is no team The officials maintained order, and most soldiers might flock to the center of the venue together. Even if they couldn't leave the place, they all stood up, waving their arms and screaming and jumping, and the scene was very hot.

In such an atmosphere, Amintas and Matonis had long forgotten Daves’s “just show, don’t be too serious” exhortation, and they also became motivated, and they all tried their best. Solve the number and want to defeat the opponent completely.

The two sides fought for a long time. They were so tired and panting. Even the lining was torn. In the end, Amintas, 6 years older than Martonis, was thrown to the ground because of lack of energy and lost. The game.

Matonis immediately helped him up.

Amintas patted the dust off his body and said unconvincedly: "Boy, if ten years earlier, you will definitely not be able to beat me, but now...I am old..."

Matonis, who took advantage, didn't argue with him, just a smile on his face.

At this time, Daves said loudly to the surrounding soldiers: "Soldiers, was the wrestling performance of the two legion chiefs just now wonderful?!"

"Wonderful!!!" The soldiers shouted excitedly.

Daves pointed to the two people who were taking the dust off, and said seriously: "The commander of Armintas is 54 years old this year, and the commander of Matonis is 48 years old this year. They are old people in their age, but they are still The body is strong, agile, and not weaker than your young people. This is the result of their years of persistent exercise. Therefore, you should all learn from the two army commanders. Persistent training will not only enhance your skills and gain More military exploits can also make you healthy and stay young, right?!"

"Yes!!!" the soldiers, especially the soldiers of the First Army, yelled.

The shouting removed the embarrassment in Amintas' heart.

The next performers are Epithenis and Olivers. Both of them are cheerful and lively generals. They played a handstand walking competition, which really exceeded all the soldiers’ expectations, and they both The funny performance also made them laugh.

Next, the sprint competition between 3rd Army Commander Lizaru and Mountain Reconnaissance Battalion Captain Izam, the equestrian performance of Cavalry Army Commander Ledes and Kutchius, and the 6th Army Commander Trotiras and The heavy infantry confrontation of the captain of the palace guard, Martius, and the mast-climbing competition between the 3rd Fleet commander Midolades and the crew...

The generals who are very prestigious and command the army to charge into the battle are performing vigorously in the center of the venue at the moment, and even shouting without demeanor. They are hideous and dusty, which makes the soldiers feel very novel. It also gave their mentality a certain balance, which is one of the main reasons why Davers insisted on letting the generals perform hard for the soldiers on this special night.

However, for the soldiers of the Roman Reserve Brigade and the surrendered Roman noble soldiers, although they were surprised by the way the Dionian generals did not put on their identities and were able to mingle with the soldiers, they did not resemble Dioni. The Asian soldiers were so excited, after all, they were not familiar with these Dionian generals, and did not feel deeply, until Sextus stood in the center of the venue.
