Davers' speech won thunderous applause. The players who were spoken with passion and the off-field audience sang Hades carols. After that, the teams hurriedly withdrew and the football game officially began.

According to the new rules of the game, the eight teams will be divided into two groups, A and B. Last year's champions and runners-up Turrii and Amendorara became the seeds and belong to the two groups. The remaining teams draw lots to determine their ownership.

Finally, the members of group A are Turriy, Niutum, Crimea, Grumentum; the members of group B are Amendorara, Laos, Castellon, Aspro Stum.

The two groups compete in a single loop. One point is awarded for a win, zero points for a loss. There is no tie. Teams with the same points will see the relationship between the winners and losers. champion.

In order to win a good start, Davist chose Turey VS Niutum, this close match of strength as the opening match to attract the attention of the audience.

When the two teams, Turrii and Niutum, re-entered the field, the audience cheered. Most of the audience in the audience is Tury, who of course has to cheer for the city team, while the Lukanians mostly cheer for Niutum. Among their cheers, the names of Tagillos and Lizaru were mentioned the most, because one was a sturdy and powerful running back, and the other was a flexible, vigorous and fast running back. Both are well-known scorers in their respective teams.

Bagul in the audience watched with warm eyes, yelling and stomping at the same time. He did not have the solemn appearance of a senator in the Senate, if it weren’t because he had just become the chief executive of Grummentum. He is busy and has no time to train with the team. He will never be a spectator off the court.

Asistes next to him saw his thoughts and teased him: "Now you are the chief executive of Grumentum. You should support Grumentum’s team, but Niutum is Grumentum’s main opponent in the knockout round, you should hope they lose."

Bagul glared at him, and then he really fell into entanglement.

The referee blew the piccolo and the game officially began.

As a strong player in Greater Greece, even though Dionia's rugby game has been well-known in Greater Greece before, Crotone still dismissed it. Now as the game progresses, these invited Crotone guests are beginning to be attracted by the fierce collision and fierce confrontation. Even the general Crotone and the navy commander Ascamas who have been talking about it before have stopped. The ridicule, strict organization, reasonable rules, the unique ball sports of this era, and the exciting sports scene shocked the general who represented Crotone in the four major tournaments many times when he was young. He exclaimed: "I didn't expect that a rugby game is such a sport. It is much more interesting than the stone ball throwing game that the Spartans can only play by themselves. It is very interesting and very suitable for Crotone. People participate!"

"Why?" someone asked next to him.

"Look, there are a lot of people on the court. Although the scene seems chaotic, in fact, there are basically two kinds of sports, offensive and blocking offensive." Askamas pointed to the field and analyzed it with a reasonable basis: "To To achieve these two points, the players who need to participate must have strong strength, rapid speed, and be able to not be afraid of collisions, and these are what our Crotone athletes are good at!"

Askamas' proud words caused the Crotone people around him to nod their heads. Crotone athletes have long-term advantages in the two sports events of wrestling and boxing, and they do have extensive experience in training athletes' strength and explosiveness.

"After we go back, we should persuade the Citizens' Assembly to let the Crotones start practicing rugby. We will also participate in this game next year to defeat these Dionian teams!" Ascamas looked around and cheered. The Dionia audience had a bit of anger hidden in their eyes.

At this moment, Turiyi’s Tiger Tilos just held the ball and scored a touchdown. The audience was cheering and excited, making Ascamas even more irritating.

"Master Askamas is right! We will also participate next year and defeat the Dionians!" Some Crotones said with their haters, and being defeated by the Dionians made these proud croakers. The Rotone people felt aggrieved, just like Ascamas thought, they wanted to win back their dignity on the court to prove the strength of the Crotone people.

Lysias frowned as he listened to the discussion of his companions. His mind was not completely attracted by the game, but was thinking about some deeper issues. There are four major traditional sports games in Greece and a famous Pan-Athena festival in the Mediterranean. Athletes from various cities in Great Greece are very active to participate. They are much more active than the Greek city-states along the coast of Asia Minor, and they participate in every Olympia Games. Above, the athletes of Greater Greece have excellent performances. However, Greater Greece itself does not have an influential sports meeting. The Crotone people who love to compete once tried to hold a sports meeting where only the city-states of Greater Greece participated, but it failed. On the one hand, Crotone’s influence is not enough, and the Greeks do not agree; on the other hand, many city-states have long-term conflicts of interest and cannot reach consensus. As a result, this became a pity for Crotone people!

Now, although Dionia’s rugby game is only a single game, it encompasses so many large cities in Greece, and it seems to be attracting more city-states to participate... Let Lucias vaguely see In the shadow of a regional competition.

Is this a coincidence? Or did the Dionians deliberately do it? Lucias looked at the figure of Daves in the front row. Through these two days of contact, this seemingly gentle young consul gave him an unpredictable feeling: in just a few months, Diony Not only did Ya stabilize the situation in the newly occupied Asprostum and Crimea, but I heard that it has recently occupied Grumentum, a large city in the Lucania region.

The Citizens’ Assembly in Crotone is now arguing over a series of issues such as whether the newly-added Asprostum’s indigenous inhabitants will be granted full citizenship and the re-division of the Croton Plains destroyed by the war. endlessly.

At first, Lucias still wanted to survive this difficult period and let Crotone rise again, but after more and more contact with Dionia, every time he took the fast-developing Dior Comparing Nia with Crotone who has been stagnant, Lycias almost loses confidence: if this continues, Crotone will be far behind by Dionia!

But he was in a hurry, but he was helpless. Crotone’s democracy has always been like this. He has studied why Dioria’s governance is so efficient, but these methods are simply impossible to implement in Crotone. Sometimes he also thinks: joining the South Italian League may be the best thing Crotone has done.

Listening to Ascamas and the others, Lucias laughed at them naively: next year, even if Crotone really sends a team, what about winning Dionia? Whether you win or lose, Dionia is a big winner!

………………………

On the third day, while the rugby game was still in full swing, Kanios, the messenger of Elijah, was received by Daves.

The young consul welcomed him very warmly. After these two days, Kanios had a more in-depth understanding of the Dionian League, and put aside the initial restraints and reservations, the two had a friendly relationship. Conversation.

Daves listened carefully to Kanios about Elia’s current plight, and learned from Kanios about the Campania area and the Samonais...talking The process was pleasant, and finally reached an alliance agreement as a matter of course: Elia joined the Dionian League.

After signing the alliance agreement, Kanios’ heart’s tense string can finally be relaxed, because Daves solemnly promised: As long as any forces dare to invade Elia, Dionia will definitely Immediately send troops to aid the allies of Elia and repel the enemy!

At the same time, Daves also cryptically stated: When Dionia takes action in the Lucania area in the future, he hopes Elia can actively cooperate.

Kanios promised, and he realized with joy: finally seeing the hope of solving the nightmare that has plagued Elia for decades, the feeling of relying on a powerful force is really reassuring!

When Kanios walked out of the living room, his mood was always happy. Then, he saw a person walking towards him, and smiled and waved to him.

Why is Cipros here? Kanios was skeptical as he responded with a gesture.

………………………

"My lord, since we have become an alliance with Elia, do we still need to talk to the messengers of Picosis, Potentia, and Galagos?" Aristocrates asked curiously.

"What do you think?" Daves looked at Kanios's back, feeling very relaxed. Elia's joining the league made him feel that he was one step closer to the goal of unifying Lucania.

"I think...it should take advantage of the weakening of the strength of Picosis and Potentia, and at the same time, they do not know the good time for Elia to join the league. They suddenly attacked, and they would be able to easily take down Picosis. , Any force in Potentia!" Aristocrates has followed Daves for so long, and he has learned how to get the most benefits with the least casualties.

But Daves shook his head lightly and did not agree with it: "Your surprise attack is indeed good. But at this time, it is not suitable for implementation."

"Why, sir?" Aristocrates asked urgently, a little dissatisfied.

"Yesterday, when Bagul and Asistes came to report on Grumentum’s situation, you heard it on the side. Grumentum’s situation was not very optimistic, and it happened from time to time between the tribes. Conflicts, several times almost led to small battles... After all, Grumentum is different from Niutum. It is located in the center of the Lukania region. It has many tribes and complex sources, and there are enemies around it. To stabilize Grumtoum and its surrounding areas, Baggul will have to work hard for at least a year or two to get these Lucanians to identify with us from the bottom of their hearts and accept our governance... If we attack now rashly In other areas, if an accident happens, the turmoil in Grumentum is very likely to repeat the tragedy of Turri..." Daves said calmly.
