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

Then the snare drums disappeared, and then the long and powerful horns sounded.

The blue team members also began to dance enthusiastically with a loose formation. Their movements were weird and unrestrained, and they screamed "Ah! Ah!" when they were excited, full of a primitive wildness, which made people bloody. Spray...

When the sound of the horn stopped and the players of the two teams lined up to salute the surrounding audience seriously, the cheers of the arena continued for a long time...

Tios was so attracted by this novel and unprecedented opening that he didn't hear Dickpolis' voice clearly.

"Tios, which team do you want to win?"

"The Blue Team!" Tios answered without hesitation, and the wild war dance of the Blue team caught his eye.

"You actually want the Lucanians to win!" Dickpolis was a little surprised.

"The blue team is Niutum's team?!" Tios suddenly realized, no wonder the dance moves are different.

"The game information is posted at the entrance of the arena. Didn't you read it?" Dickpolis emphasized: "I support Amendorara! Many of its citizens are from Crete, including my friends. (It refers to the soldiers of the Seventh Battalion of the First Army)."

At this moment, the players on both sides turned around and faced the VIP seats. In the tumultuous noise, Tios saw a person stand up on the VIP table.

"That's Daves, the only lifelong Archon of the Dionian League!" Dickpolis' tone was both awe and a little jealous.

Tios is not the case, he has a strong urge to meet the legendary favored person with his own eyes.

I saw Davers wave down with his right hand.

The rapid and sharp bronze horns sounded continuously, and the game began.

……………………

"Master Daves, more people came to watch the game this afternoon than in the morning. According to the report by the guard responsible for releasing people at the entrance, many of them are merchants from Gentiles." Mariji said excitedly, "Look. Come, my lord, your plan to attract wealthy people from the surrounding city-states to consume in Turyi with exciting competitions is entirely possible!"

Meersis was also very excited: "I just went outside the arena for a while, beer, syrup, and dried fruits were almost sold out, and even the sun-shading hats and linen cushions were all sold out. Less!"

"The main reason is that the rugby game is too attractive!" As Turrii’s chief executive, Kunogolata was also one of the person in charge of the match. He participated in the organization, Publicity, security, competition and other aspects of the preparation work, personally developed the planned rugby game into a current situation in full swing, and his heart is also full of surprises: "Master Davers, I think that rugby games can be held regularly in the future, and it can be Charge, just like watching a drama."

"Does the money for selling tickets go to the treasury?" Melses asked urgently.

"Of course it is returned to the national treasury, but the players have to be paid as well as injured players’ compensation to encourage more people to actively participate in the sport. The rest of the money is used to build more arenas. Amendorara, in Niutum...Cunogolata, Cornellus, Mariji, Alexis, and Merses form the Rugby Athletic Committee, and how to further promote rugby , Attract more Gentiles to watch and discuss, formulate a more detailed and complete plan, and speed up the implementation. When the sport becomes popular in Great Greece in the future, we can also host the Great Greece Rugby Games and invite the city-states of Great Greece to send teams Come and compete!..."

Daves’ words inspired Kunogolata: There are four games with great influence in the Greek city-states in this era. The Olympia Games held by the Ellis city-state in the Peloponnese is the oldest, It is also the most sacred, mainly offering sacrifices to Zeus. The Temple of Zeus in Olympia is a sacred place for the Greeks (one of the seven ancient miracles); the Isthmus Games held in Corinth is mainly dedicated to Poseidon; the area of ​​Piosia is famous throughout Greece The Pissia Games held mainly by the Temple of Delphi, to celebrate the sun **** Apollo; and the Nemean Games, led by the Argos who claim to have the blood of the most noble king in the Archaic Era, are also commemorations Zeus. In addition, the Pan-Athena Festival held in Athens to commemorate the war and the goddess of wisdom Athena is equally influential, and it not only has sports competitions, but also music, poetry, drama and other competitions. When these celebrations are held locally, celebrities from all over Greece gather there, and the eyes of all Greeks are also focused there, winning a huge reputation for the host. If the rugby game develops well, holding a large-scale Pan-University Greece rugby game to commemorate Hades will not only expand the influence of the Dionian League, but also let Kunogorata stay in the history and win the gods. Favored.

Daves saw them in a trance and shortness of breath, vaguely guessing what they were thinking, and his mind was also full of imagination: in the history of the Romans, the gladiator competition was famous in the Mediterranean, and his Dionian League was not. It needs such a bloody, cruel, and inhuman brutal project, which can still entertain the masses, inspire citizens' martial arts, and can do better! In addition to rugby, basketball can also be held in the future... Basketball does not seem to work. The requirements for the ball are too high. Can the current craftsmanship be able to do it? ……Football may be possible, go back and let Tolicas, the leather worker, try to do it……

"A score! A touchdown scored! Taginos is good!" Amintas and Matonis who were watching the game yelled in excitement, and they clinked glasses to celebrate.

"Go and buy me a can of beer." Amintas said to the slave attendant.

"Master, the beer outside has been sold out, no more."

"Nothing?!" Amintas immediately turned around and exclaimed dissatisfied: "Master Daves, your beer is good or good, and the output is too small!"

Davers smiled bitterly. It seemed that the beer workshop should be expanded again. Thinking of this, he thought of another thing.

"Everyone!" He said loudly, "You all know, my wife recently bought the hot spring swamp north of Turiyi."

Burkos was the first to nod. As a farm officer, he personally handled the land sale procedures. At that time, he also persuaded Kristia: There are mosquitoes in that place, except for a few hot springs. You can’t build a house, don’t waste money to buy it.

"I am going to build a large hot spring bath there, attracting merchants and Dionian people from Great Greece to come to take a bath and relax, because it involves the draining and filling of the marshes, the storage of the hot springs, and the Tino The diversion of the river and the construction of the baths... require a lot of capital investment. Are there any people who are willing to cooperate with me to invest in this hot spring bath?" Davers sincerely sent an invitation to the veterans.

A bath? ! The Greeks of this era did not have the good habit of the ancient Romans who liked to take a bath. They lived a simple life and didn’t like to take a bath. Just wash with water. Therefore, many veterans are a little hesitant about this new thing.

Mariji, who has enjoyed the luxury of Persian life, yelled first: "I! I want to invest!" Mariji often discussed the alliance’s trade development with Daves. Of course, he knew the young consul’s ability in business, not to mention. In addition, the business of Christoah Bank, restaurants, and breweries is so prosperous, and Daves has contributed to them.

"Me! And me!" Melses is also a man who knows Daves' business talents.

"I will also invest some money." Kunogolata and Cornellus said one after another. As the two chief executives who often discuss the city-state management with Daves, of course they have some understanding of Daves's ability. .

"Let's join." Hilos, Matonis, Amintas, Antonios, Alexis and other leaders of the former mercenaries are even more blindly trusting.

Except for Burks, Ansitanos and other Tury veterans who are willing to invest a small amount of money to express their support, other Tury veterans such as Pollux and Enanilus have made it clear that they are not optimistic about this hot spring. Bath.

Scambras, Stromboli and other Amendora veterans who didn’t believe in the profitability of hot spring baths also supported them because of the Tury’s disapproval and were regarded as Amendoras. Daves.

Weissbar doesn't understand this at all, but he understands that he is absolutely disadvantaged in the Senate, he can only follow Daves closely.

It was originally Daves who raised funds from the elders for business purposes and tied their interests together, which further promoted the harmony of the Senate. As a result, it became a demonstration of the attitude of the elders towards him.

………………………

Tios stared at the court intently. The game was indeed very exciting, beyond his imagination.

Originally, he thought: whether this kind of ball game is similar to a stone ball throwing game in Sparta, now it seems that it is completely incomparable.

Dickpolis supports the Amendorara team, but he does not know why he hopes from the bottom of his heart that the Niutum team can win, but now the score is 3:0, and Niutum is behind.

Teos was a little anxious, and secretly cheered for Niutum.

Now it’s Niutum’s blue team’s turn to attack. The Amendorara red team clearly cooperates with each other and knows how to use tactics. They cut off the blue team’s passing line and pushed him to the sideline. On, the two red team members jumped straight on. The blue team had no space to dodge the team members, so they had to pass the ball from under the crotch to the rear before being thrown down. The blue quarterback was quick-eyed and quickly came forward to receive the ball. Two red team players immediately faced each other. He formed a double-team...

Just when Tios yelled "Oops!", the blue quarterback took a stride, used his strong body to smash the red team player who was not stable, and threw the rugby.
