But Max was desperate to learn the Ionian language and integrate into the environment, and he remembered the speech he made to defeat the great Camilus before breaking them up into the army:

“…… Roman soldiers, Rome has been incorporated into the Kingdom of Dionia, and you have been completely defeated! You can always harbor hatred for Dionia.

But please don't forget, when you attacked the city, you killed all the men who were captured in the city; When you take possession of the Wolsey territories of Satnikum, Antium, and Villitre, you will either kill or reduce all the Wolsey men you capture to slavery......

And today, when you were defeated, Dionya did not dispose of you as you had done in the past, did not let your young life end prematurely, did not make you lowly slaves, but gave you the opportunity to become citizens of Dionia!

I believe that many of you have been in contact with your former compatriots in the Roman Reserve Brigade, and you know more or less what rights and benefits becoming a citizen of Dionya will bring you, you may not be as rich as you used to be, and you will no longer be able to use power to oppress other citizens at will, but you will become citizens of the most powerful kingdom in the Mediterranean and be envied by the people of other countries, to see a wider world, to get more opportunities for development!

Well, Romans, in any case, the Rome of the past has perished, and you all face a new beginning, to continue to hate and finally be suppressed and perished? It is up to ......you to take up the shield and spear and fight with us to earn the respect of the people of Dionya and open up a new future for yourself and your family."

…… It's up to us...... Marx read silently in his heart.

At this time, a person appeared in front of him, patted him on the shoulder, smiled, and asked with concern, "How is it?" No problem. ”

Seeing this smile always reminded Max of how the Dionian doctors treated him with great care and finally allowed him to live healthy to this day when he was suffering from the plague and despairing, which is why he did not hate the Dionians too much. He believed that all the Romans who had been healed by the Dionian doctors would have such a feeling, because it was the Dioonians who gave them a second life.

Looking at the Dionian team officer who had always cared more about him, although Max couldn't understand what he said, he roughly understood what he meant, and nodded quickly.

"Come aboard with us!" The officer pointed to the dock that was already close in front of him, and picked up the shield, gun, and armor that had been wrapped beside him.

Marx wanted to stop it, but he didn't speak Greek at all, and coupled with the continuous vomiting, his body was really weak, and he could only watch the officer open the package and let the other soldiers take one for him.

This scene made him determined to learn the Dionian language as soon as possible.

In fact, Max's judgment was wrong, and what he saw was not a town, but the naval base in Trina.

Therefore, the other Roman soldiers, who were not seasick, opened their eyes in astonishment when they entered the harbor of the naval base on passenger ships: what appeared before them was a port that was unknown how many times larger than the port of Ostia, separated by countless pier trestles, protruding from the winding shore, like a multi-legged centipede, formidable; Huge warships cruised on the other side of the harbor, sometimes stopping in formation, sometimes sprinting rapidly, and the slogans of the sailors resounded throughout the harbor......

A few Latin soldiers in the Third Legion proudly told the Romans, who were looking in a daze: "There are five naval bases like this in our kingdom of Dioonia (there are two in the First Fleet, Tarantum and Castelon), and this is not the largest one. ”

It made these former Roman nobles even more suspicious, they found that the strength of the Dionian Kingdom was far from what they could imagine, and the unwillingness in their hearts dissipated a lot under this powerful shock.

The naval base of the Third Fleet is in Trina, but the barracks of the Sixth Army Corps is not here, but in Xiliting, and the two cities are dozens of miles apart.

Since Davos had already had this plan 10 days before, and had written to inform the Senate, which had urgently informed Trina and the surrounding towns, that the peasants had been organized by the town hall to build a camp for the approaching army, so when the army of the expedition to Latinum arrived, the soldiers found that the camp had already been repaired, everything had been settled, and they did not need to do anything at all.

And when they were settled, the officers announced to them another piece of good news: "Your Majesty Davers, in gratitude for your service to the kingdom in Radium, has allowed you to celebrate by bonfire tonight!" ”

The soldiers cheered, and the whole camp boiled over, except for the Roman nobles who did not know the exact truth.

In the afternoon, the officials of the Trina City Hall led the organized people to deliver countless cans of wine, hundreds of goats, and other food to the entire army. Of course, many more people came to the barracks to visit their relatives in the Sixth Legion.

In order to prevent them from disturbing the order of the entire barracks, the corps commander Tlatinoste allowed the soldiers to meet outside the barracks.

In this expedition to Latium, the casualties of the Sixth Army were not few. People weeping in grief when they learn that their loved ones have been killed or seriously injured in battle; The people who saw their relatives standing in front of them in good condition wept with joy, in short, there was a cry outside the camp, and there was laughter inside the camp, forming a peculiar scene.

……………………………………

At dusk, the soldiers of the various legions, led by the officers, walked out of the camp and into the field that had been arranged: there were hundreds of piles of wheat made of freshly harvested straw, distributed in a circle and in a circle, with a large clearing in the center, and a larger one.

Each detachment sat around a wheat pile, and the squad leaders led a few soldiers to the baggage camp and brought a few jars of wine, several large jars of stewed and hot haggis soup, a goat that had been slaughtered, cleaned, and cut, a basket of fresh fruit, a basket of washed fresh vegetables, and a jar of dried dried fruit......

The detachment leader personally served the soldiers, filling the wooden cups in each soldier's hands with wine and pouring haggis soup into the clay bowls......

Although Max was not as excited as the other soldiers in his team to drink the Touriyi wine, he was educated by the nobility and expressed his gratitude to the detachment leader, who looked younger than him.

Seeing that he had a good attitude, the captain of the detachment said some words of encouragement, but he could only nod slightly because he could not understand Dionian at all. Finally, the detachment leader laughed "haha", patted him on the shoulder hard, and then served the next soldier.

The next soldier was much more respectful towards the captain of the detachment, which made Max feel a little strange, of course he would not know that the captain's name was Adoris, the adopted son of the king of Dionia.

By the time the soldiers were eating, it was getting dark, but soon the heaps were set on fire, driving away the darkness of the wilderness.

"Boom! Boom! ......" The majestic drum beat suddenly sounded, and the originally noisy bonfire venue was reminded by the team officers to quiet down.

Then, the high-pitched and solemn chant echoed over the venue, causing the soldiers to put away the laughter on their faces.

Then they saw a group of strange-looking and variously dressed people appear in the center of the venue, around the largest bonfire.

"It's 'The Birth of Hades'!" Some of the soldiers had already guessed the repertoire of this big drama and began to cheer.

Dionia's large-scale drama has only been more than 10 years since its birth, but it has developed rapidly, and now it has departed from the original pantomime performance, with a single chant and a single, group song and dance (of course, this is inseparable from the inspiration of King Davers), making the large-scale drama more diverse in the form of performance, and more attractive to the Dionian people, "The Birth of Hades" This track is one of the classics, which is very popular with the people, so the soldiers present have temporarily stopped eating and frolicking, Watch the show intently.

The first act of "The Birth of Hades" is about Hades, Zeus, Poseidon, Hera and other siblings who defeat their father Kronos and begin to divide the world. While everyone is arguing for more benefits, Hades chooses to go to hell to care for and supervise the souls of all beings after death, and the gods are both puzzled by his firm choice and ashamed of his dedication to achieving his ideals instead of striving for fame and fortune.

In the second act, Hades arrives in the underworld, which is very chaotic due to the lack of control, Hades invites Tanatos and Hypnos to be the gods of death and sleep, and convinces Minos, Radamandas and Aeakos to be the three judges, and submits the three-headed dog Cerberus to guard the gate, and Caron to take charge of the ferry...... Finally let the underworld restore order.

In the third act, the underworld is well governed, and the king of Hades marries Persephone, the goddess of fertility, and the humans thank him for his contributions, and worship him, and finally he and his subordinates dance merrily......

The whole plot is carefully compiled by the priests led by Plesinus, most of the dialogue in the play is sung, and the melody is composed by the famous musical poet of the kingdom, Dionian School teacher Ferrosanus led the students to complete with great effort, and the last group dance choreography that transcended this era was from the hands of Davers, so "The Birth of Hades" was carved by the hands of many famous artists, and the first public performance at the Hades celebration caused a sensation among the people of the kingdom.

Although Max was not as fascinated as the other soldiers because of the language barrier, the actors' exquisite costumes, superb acting skills and beautiful singing voices still attracted his attention, making him try to guess the plot.
