lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
At this moment, the familiar bell sounded from the northwest, nine ringing in succession, and another nine ringing after a short interval.
The audience on the side of the square turned their heads to look north, and was pleasantly surprised to find that a huge golden statue stands on the hill of the gods, which is extremely dazzling under the shining of the sun.
"Oh! That is... the idol of Hades!"
"The previous rumors are true. The kingdom really built a statue of Hades comparable to the colossus of Athena in Athens!"
……
Although the sunlight reflected by the idols is so dazzling, the people are still desperately opening their eyes, focusing their respectful eyes on the hills, their faces full of excitement and enthusiasm.
They soon discovered that not only the idols gave them surprises, but the newly remodeled temple that had just been shown before their eyes was also pleasant: not only was it taller, more spacious, magnificent, and magnificent than ever before, but also the temple The color of the triangle frieze on the picture above is also more gorgeous and colorful, and it is still shining like stars in the sky. Mixed in the paint of the drawing, the effect produced by the sunlight).
The Greeks have always believed that the temple is the home of the gods, and the place where they live must be a magnificent and magnificent building, and this converted temple on the top of the mountain is undoubtedly in line with their most extreme imagination.
So, under the command and leadership of the inspection team, the people couldn't wait to turn into a stream of people and flock to the hill of the gods.
The closer you get to the hills, the more people feel that the statue is majestic and huge, but he does not give people a sense of oppression caused by majesty. On the contrary, he hangs his head and is easily seen by the people. The face, the kindness and compassion it showed, made the people even more wanting to get close.
In a short while, the whole hill, except around the temple on the top, was completely surrounded by crowds. The crowds were crowded outside the guard circle formed by the court guard, standing on top of each other with their backs on their backs. , Eyes wide open, looking at the temple and the colossus intently.
Some observant people also found that the appearance of the new temple is different from other Greek temples in that: there are regularly a lot of small square windows on the stone wall under the triangular frieze on the roof of the temple. There is a sculpture in a small window, which is very peculiar.
But what people who don’t see clearly from a distance don’t know is that these are not ordinary sculptures. They are not just Zeus, Hera, Apollo... and other major Greek gods, but also Bruce. The goddess Amara of the people, Wasani **** of the Samona, Jupiter of the Romans, Diana...etc. statues of gods respected by other races in the kingdom. These numerous statues of gods are erected in the stone wall, surrounding the Hades statue in the temple, like stars holding the moon, and their meaning is self-evident.
Daves stood solemnly in front of the temple. Beside him was a white robe priest Plycinus, and behind him were dozens of Hades priests who also wore white robes. Saint.
Plessinus gave a light cough, and walked slowly two steps forward on crutches. While he was speaking, the priests also uttered the same words. Unlike ordinary voice actors, they could speak in a neat tone and the same emotions, thereby generating an amplified resonance, so although everyone was not hysterical Yelling, but it can send Plesinus’s words to the ears of everyone on the hill like a gentle wind and drizzle:
"Citizens of Dionia, believers of Hades, today is a day worth celebrating! We have reshaped the golden body for the great Hades and rebuilt the God’s residence so that he can be more comfortable Living in the temple, better protect us!
Before the establishment of Dionia, Hades's dedication to the Greek people has been buried. Not only is there no one to praise his achievements, but he is feared and far away from him until his descendants. The emergence of Daves established a powerful kingdom in just 20 years, and respected Hades as the kingdom’s patron saint. Not only did hundreds of people become believers of this great god, but also Let the justice, strictness, dedication, and sacrifice that Hades has been fighting for have become the ideals followed by the people of the entire kingdom.
This makes Hades feel very happy. In order to thank his descendants for the great deeds made for him, he handed down an oracle to allow King Davers to name him, Daves and his descendants. As long as he continues to respect him and continue to perform his due duties on the ground, then he will always bless this family, and anyone who attempts to maliciously invade will be cursed forever by him! "
Speaking of this, Plycinus looked back at Daves, bent down, and said respectfully: "Holy King Hades Daves, please take your crown and accept the believers’ Congratulations!"
Daves solemnly took over the delicate wooden crown woven from ebony and fern in a black tray, and slowly put it on his head.
The surrounding people burst into cheers like a tsunami again: "Your Majesty King Davos is victorious!!!"
"The King of Hades Davos is victorious!!!"
……
Since I landed in Great Greece more than 20 years ago, captured Turri, established Dionia, defeated Crotone, drove Syracuse from the throne of the overlord, and reduced Carthage to an ordinary city-state, Establishing the most powerful kingdom in the history of the Western Mediterranean, Davos's prestige has reached its zenith in the kingdom. What's more, without the restraint of Cunogolata, Cornelus, and others, no senator would object to the important decision of this celebration, allowing Daves to easily cover himself and his family. A layer of divine light.
…………………………………
It was a sunny morning, and Massimus was strolling the streets in the barracks.
Said it is a military camp. Soldiers prefer to call it a military city. Compared with the nearby Etruscan towns, it is indeed more like a city: the entire camp area occupies a square mile. The 5-meter-high city wall is surrounded by thick square bricks, and there are towers 10 meters high every 50 meters on the city wall. The ground of the entire city is completely paved with hard stone slabs, which avoids the accumulation of water and muddy ground caused by rain and snow, and also allows the soldiers to walk on such a flat and hard road. There is always a sense of peace in their hearts. It feels that they can resist any powerful enemy's attack in such a camp made entirely of stones.
The reason why Maximus is here is that after he joined the Dionian Intelligence Service last year, he received a new appointment while still undergoing training, allowing him to apply as a freedman to join the organization. The mercenary group heading to the Etruscan border. After successfully joining, monitor the army at all times and report information about it and the surrounding enemy situation at any time.
At the beginning, Maximus psychologically resisted this order, because he didn't want to stay away from his wife and children, and even deliberately performed poorly during the interview and wanted not to be selected. There are not many freedmen who went to sign up for literacy, and Massims was able to write fluent articles in Dionian script, and it could count. It was a rare talent in the newly-built legion, who was on the spot. He was admitted and immediately given the position of a statistician in the camp.
In this way, Maximus became a member of the Etruscan Frontier Corps. Then, together with all the recruited freedmen, he was gathered in the Turiyi military camp and trained for three months.
It was three months as hard as hell. In order to enable these rookies who lack military training and have not even participated in combat to become qualified Dionian soldiers as soon as possible, and to be used as soon as possible, the Ministry of Military Affairs sent a large number of military training officers to carry out high-intensity training. Training, and it is stipulated that logistics personnel such as Maximus must also participate, because the reason is very good: the logistics personnel of the Dionian regiments must participate in the battle as auxiliary soldiers at the critical time of the battle, and the Border Corps is no exception. But without military skills and unfamiliar with Dionia's military tactics, how can these logistics personnel cooperate in combat? So we have to follow along and train together.
Fortunately, the training intensity of logistics personnel is not as strong as that of Legionnaires, and high-intensity training means that there must be sufficient food security. Therefore, Maximus will follow the Legion’s logistics officials from time to time to purchase in the city of Turiyi. food.
During this period, Massimos’ ability to manage finances and bargain with vendors was demonstrated and attracted the attention of the senior corps. By the end of the three-month training, Massimos had been promoted to procurement Director, this is the third important military position in the army's main camp, second only to the main army officer and the guard officer.
It didn't take long for more than 8,000 people from the Border Army to move north into the Etruscan territory.
At this time, after repeated discussions between the Kingdom and the Etruscan Alliance, an agreement has been reached on the land allocated to Dionia, and the address of the barracks has been determined long ago, and engineers dispatched by the Ministry of Military Affairs With the joint efforts of the labor provided by the Etruscan city-states, it has a rough outline.
Masimus followed the legion’s headquarters to a barracks not far from the northern Etruscan city-state of Florentia, and then the soldiers would use the construction they had just learned and was still very strange Skills will complete the construction of the entire barracks.
In this laborious process of building the camp, the recruits will further learn to obey orders, bear hardships and stand hard work, and cooperate with each other... They will completely eliminate the looseness of being a freedman and gradually transform into a Dionian regiment. Soldier.
Also in the process of building the camp, Massims’ ability to organize and coordinate was also fully utilized, so after a few months, the legion’s head of the corps was transferred back to the military department, and then the legion commander directly ordered: Maximus is temporarily acting as an important official.
