The Greek soldiers on the field seemed to have heard the call, and immediately put on their helmets, bucklers, and red cloaks. They lined up in a close square to fight the enemy's attack...

However, too many "Persians" swarmed to surround the warriors. The cavalry galloped back and forth on the periphery, the archers continuously shot their arrows high in the sky (the arrows were all cut off), and the infantry laughed weirdly...

The audience can only see the dazzling red and the roar of the warriors from the gap surrounded by the "Persians".

The drums are getting denser and louder...

The Greek phalanx is also under the attack of the "Persians", retreating step by step, and is about to retreat to the edge of the square...

The eyes of ordinary people were completely attracted by the tense scenes on the court. I don't know who it was who shouted anxiously: "Fight! Greeks!"

It resonated with the audience.

"Fight!!! The Greeks!!!..." The audience also began to shout loudly.

At this moment, the high-pitched singing sounded again, "Hades" did not know when he had already stood at the forefront of the platform, slowly waving a double-stranded fork...

The besieged Greek soldiers suddenly shouted neatly and vigorously: "Ho! Ho! Hades!!! Ho!..." More than a dozen bugles also sounded at the right time.

The "Persians" began to retreat and finally collapsed...

The red phalanx of the Greek mercenaries is fully displayed in front of the audience. Amidst the strong rhythm of drum beats, they take a uniform and powerful step, charging forward like an iron wall...

The people present were full of enthusiasm. Those people and VIPs who had not seen or participated in military training in Dionia were also overwhelmed by the strength and beauty shown by the soldiers on the field and cheered loudly. , Applaud.

"General Persian" fell behind and was dragged off by "Daves" who charged forward. He stepped on "General Persian", raised his spear, and used exaggerated and infectious The action pierced the chest of the "enemy".

"Daves! Daves!!! Daves!!!..." The people couldn't help but burst into thunderous cheers.

"The former consul said that he wanted us to see a completely different temple celebration. He really did it!" Standing at the back of the platform, Mariji glanced at the surrounding Senate colleagues and exclaimed loudly. Said.

"Yes, it's a very different celebration! Lord Davos fears that the people will forget his previous heroic deeds and don't forget to proclaim themselves on such a sacred occasion!" Pollux said in a weird manner.

Cunogolata and Cornelus looked at each other, did not speak, but felt a little uneasy in their hearts.

"It was indeed done! Didn’t you find out! This will be a new kind of drama, a kind of drama different from one or two people, but a performance by hundreds of thousands of people to recreate the magnificence of history The scene!..." On the contrary, Ansitanos was so excited that he was a little incoherent, Daves enlightened him.

The wonderful chorus, the accompaniment of music, the close-to-real battles and performances of hundreds of people...It really shocked the audience on the sidelines, even the senators of the Senate.

"I am looking forward to the next performance!" Melses praised sincerely, which reminded him of the troubled years in Persia, and his words are also the common aspirations of the former mercenaries.

It's just that Amintas pouted his lips and whispered: "The scene of the battle is too fake!"

"Didn't Ansitanos say that this is acting, not a real battle. Look at the excited people, Daves is telling them our heroic deeds in this way of acting!" Antonios whispered to criticize Amintas.

"Olivers should be the one who plays Daves, it's really good! The Persian general played by Ryders is not good, like a wood!..." Epithenis' very interesting comments attracted these former hires. The veterans of the army also participated.

Next, "Hades" led the mercenaries to Great Greece, the Lucarians invaded Turíy, and the mercenaries defeated the Lucanian coalition...

Weesba, Hermon, and a group of Lucarians stared at the square nervously.

Obviously, Daves took their feelings into consideration, and the damage caused by the Lucanians to the Tureis was only a brief passing, but instead focused on the last scene: in the cheerful and enthusiastic singing and drum accompaniment Next, "Hades" asked "Daves" to lead the Greeks and Lucanians to reconcile each other. They wrestled, fought sheep, drank, and talked with each other. Finally, they held hands and formed a big circle. "Hades" stood in the center of the circle. Everyone sang Hades carols, shook their arms and kicks, and continued to expand and shrink the circle. The atmosphere was very warm, attracting people from outside the field to participate, and the Hades carols resounded throughout the city...

As the lord of the underworld, Hades is rumored to be dark, cruel, and fearful, so it is far less popular than the main gods such as Zeus, Poseidon, and Apollo among the Greeks. Kanios has the same likes and dislikes for Hades as other Greeks, so when he heard that Dionia was going to use Hades as the patron saint of the city-state alliance, he was surprised. But at the beginning, he was absent-minded, but now he is attracted by the wonderful performances on the square, and he has a good impression of Hades, and he can't help but sing Hades with everyone.

It's not just him, those Lucaria chiefs who only worshipped Mount Asinu before asked others about the meaning of the lyrics in weird and blunt Greek, and some even hummed them. Compared to most of Dionia The people’s unforgettable devotion, the VIPs invited to the ceremony from the Southern Italy League are all thoughtful, and some even look forward to Dionia making a fool of himself during the celebration, such as the Crotone.

But at this moment, Crotone’s chief general Lucias, who was also shocked by this unprecedented celebration of the gods in Greece, sighed: “It seems that Hades’s faith may really be in these Dios. Take root among the Niya."

"Our Greeks in the Western Mediterranean believe in Hera and Apollo the most, and Hades, who believe in darkness, can only do this by barbaric outsiders like Dionian!" Askamas said irritably , His friend Miron was expelled because of his defeat to Dionia, and there was a bit of resentment in his heart. Moreover, Crotone has the most magnificent temple of Apollo in Great Greece, and Greeks from other city-states often go to worship. Therefore, although the performance in the square surprised him, he still complained with full confidence: "Look, it's almost noon. Now, the weather is so hot, when will we go to see the Temple of Hades?!"

"Yes, my legs are almost numb!" Another general Crotone's seemingly joking remark caused a commotion among the distinguished guests.

"Clang!!!..." The vigorous and long bell sounded suddenly, causing a shock in the hearts of the people who were struck by the end of the performance.

"Look, the Temple of Hades!" Exclamation continued from the crowd.

In the northwest of Victory Square, on the hill behind the Senate’s Chamber, the building was half-concealed by many scaffolding and large pieces of linen in the early morning. When the people were concentrating on the performances in the square, it was already It completely reveals its true face: a towering, magnificent white building is shining brightly under the scorching sun!

Plessinus took the lead, and the 50 white-robed saints followed, the elders of the Senate, the distinguished guests of the city-states, the people on the north side of the square, and the people on the south side of the square... Under the orderly guidance of the soldiers, people moved forward in an orderly manner. The Temple of Hades moves forward slowly...

The bronze bell was still ringing unhurriedly, and the sound was clearer and deeper than the other, soothing people's urgency.

The Temple of Hades is getting closer and closer, and it is clearer in the eyes of the people: this is a very unique temple, its height is no different from other temples, but its length is longer than that of all the great Greek cities The largest Temple of Apollo in Crotone is twice as long. More importantly, as the location of the city-state's guardian temple, it is also the center of the city-state according to tradition. It must be surrounded by walls to protect it and become the acropolis of Turii, just like the previous Temple of Apollo in Turii. However, not only is there no city wall on the hillside in front, but also stone steps are built from the east, west, south, and north, making it easy to reach the temple.

Anta Auris, who has only joined the Senate for a short time, curiously asked Cornelus, who had been getting along well with him during this time: "Why is this new temple not walled?"

Corneiros replied seriously: "This is the proposal of Lord Dafus. He believes that no wall shall be built so that the people can freely go to the temple to sacrifice and pray, in order to show Hades's attitude towards Dionysian. The fraternity of the Asian people!"

Daves is the favored one of Hades and the high priest of the temple. Generally, no one will object to the proposal of the temple of Hades. Anta Auris looks at the temple in front of him. He was puzzled: "But in this way, Turiyi has no acropolis!"

Cornerus sighed, his expression turned a little strange, and said, "Master Daves insists not to build another acropolis in Turriiri. He said something like this--" At this point, this The chief executive of Amendorara, who has always been gentle, has a harder tone: "'The cities in the Alliance of Dionian are the walls of the Alliance, and Turri is the acropolis of the Alliance. Dionian doesn’t need it. Extra Acropolis!'"

Anta Auris was stunned after hearing these words: Use the city as a wall? ! See the entire region as a city? ! ......He felt a sense of pride in his heart, and the figure of the young consul appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but be fascinated: What a heart and spirit this is, it's no wonder that a powerful city-state alliance can be established!

People climbed up the steps. About 30 meters away from the temple, the civic soldiers formed a circular cordon. It has become a "human mountain".
