Immediately afterward, Proclis felt his car jerk outward, and he heard "Bang!" The violent shock almost caused him to fall off the car, but fortunately he grabbed the reins in his hand.

Beside him, there was a series of angry curses from the Gauls, and it turned out that his car had collided with the opponent's.

Eager to regain the top spot at the turn, the riders picked up speed in an attempt to overtake from the outside, and the eight cars were almost crowded together, resulting in multiple collisions.

Such an exciting scene caused the audience to exclaim, and at the same time, it also aroused their greater enthusiasm for watching the game, and the cheers rose higher and higher.

Unlike some epic movie in the previous life, where serrations were placed on the axles of the cars that could destroy the cars of other competitors, it was impossible to allow such cheating in the racing competitions of the Greek Games, and the cars had to be strictly inspected before they could be allowed to enter the field, especially at the Dionian Games, where egregious behaviors such as hitting opponents with a horsewhip would only result in a foul shot if they were discovered. Therefore, the collision between the cars did not cause a tragedy, but it affected the speed of the car.

Just as Procles' car slowed down due to the collision, another car quickly passed from the outside and rushed to the front.

The car was shining with gold, the drivers were dark-skinned, their outfits were equally golden, and the four black horses were also wearing ornate headdresses, making the whole car look magnificent. It turned out that this was a driver from Egypt, who was not a slave or freed slave like the Greek riders, but a minor Egyptian nobleman who drove for the Pharaoh's heir, Jay. Jay sent him to the tournament in order to curry favor with Dionia, and on the other hand, to show Dioonia and the other Mediterranean city-states what Egypt was capable of and image.

It's just that at the beginning of the race, the Egyptian envoy delegation led by Jahe still did not arrive in Turii, which made the Egyptian driver a little disappointed, but this did not affect his state in the race, although he was behind at the start, he was not too anxious, did not accelerate in the corner like other runners, but calmly drove the car around the outermost side, with his superb driving skills, not only did not delay time because of the detour, but took advantage of the other cars to collide with each other and crowded, quickly rushed to the front.

Seeing this, the Gallic driver was so anxious that he whipped his horse in an attempt to get the car to catch up, but he collided with the car on the outside, causing the Bruti driver to curse.

Proclis was calm, and instead of waving his horsewhip, he flicked the reins while whistling and shouting, "Efila! Run, run! ”

According to Coach Procles, "Braiding a mare into a horse that pulls the car, although it may be a little slower in speed, can ensure the stability of the car, and at the same time stimulate the stallions to compete with each other and increase the speed of the horse at critical times." Proclis took his advice, and it turned out to work so well in training that the mare, named Eiffella, became the stabilizer of the whole car.

At this moment, the clever young mare seemed to understand what his master meant, and he neighed a few times, and went straight forward, and the three young stallions were also working hard next to her, and Procles's car instantly picked up speed and broke away from the crowded racing pile, and if the horse's run was slightly off, it might run into the Gallic car next to it, which was in a state of restlessness.

Moments later, the cars on the field were divided again, with the Egyptian cars charging ahead, Procles in close pursuit, Gaul, Bruti and Thebes neck and neck, and Cyrenaica and Sinumbia slightly behind...... Everyone chased after me, each showed his ability, stirred up the dust and mist, and the scene was very intense.

The cheers of the audience also continued to be hot.

Although the Dionian engineers used a mixture of fine sand and fine clay to lay the track, it was still impossible to avoid the dust, and Proclis followed closely behind the Egyptian car, and naturally tasted the pain of eating dust. Through the misty dust, he saw that the staff on the middle ridge platform was picking up an iron hook to hook one of the silver dolphin statues erected high, and his heart moved slightly: it was already a circle.

He immediately concentrated, because in front of these dolphins were the stone pillars that should be turned.

He saw the Egyptian car in front of him clinging to the ridgeline, apparently intending to hold the inner circle, and he turned his head to look to the side, but there was no car catching up, so he did not hesitate to pull the reins to the outside, and at the same time whistled sharply.

The four horses immediately rushed towards the outer lap, still maintaining high speed in the corner, but because of inertia, Procles' car was once again thrown outward, and it also fell to the right, and it was about to overturn.

Nearby spectators let out a cry of concern.

Proclis didn't panic, though, as he grabbed the reins, stood firm on his legs, and controlled his center of gravity. The left wheel of the car was suspended in the air, and it was only after rolling on the right wheel for a few moments that the left wheel landed safely......

The Dionian crowd breathed a sigh of relief, followed by thunderous cheers from the crowd for Procles' brilliant performance.

This is the fast cornering technique that Procris has developed in the past two years, and the success of it in real competitions has also boosted his confidence, and he excitedly exclaims: "Well done, Efila!" Good guys! ”

The four horses responded with a high-pitched neigh, and their running hooves became more powerful, dragging the racing car and catching up.

The Egyptian driver also felt a little nervous when he saw Procles, who had already chased to his side, and immediately waved his horsewhip and shouted: "Rack! Frame! ……”

The riders learned their lesson and tried to widen their space as much as possible when cornering, but tragedy still happened.

The Macedonian driver who was behind was in a hurry to catch up, maintaining a high speed in the corners, but not having the same skill as Procles, and after a collision with the Sinumbia car in front of him, the car overturned and the driver was thrown off......

The audience exclaimed.

Ambulance crews immediately ran to the scene of the incident, lifted the injured driver on a stretcher, and pulled the car to the exit of the race, but fortunately the Macedonian car was the last to finish, so all the clean-up work was relatively quick and did not affect the progress of the race.

Doctors arrived quickly and carefully examined the rider's injuries and found that he was lucky to have no external injuries other than a dislocated arm, a concussion in his head, and some fainting.

This is of course also due to the safety measures that the Ionian Games have in place for motorsports: the Ionian Games Racing Judges require the drivers to wear helmets with soft cotton lining, thick leather jackets and leather trousers, and even reduce the starting gate to avoid collisions caused by too many cars in the race...... But even so, accidents still happen, and the motorsport race is indeed the most dangerous event in the games.

Shame, this is simply a shame for Macedonia! …… Prince Fili of Macedon, who was in the VIP seat, was furious.

The Macedonian envoy next to him comforted him and said, "You don't need to be angry, although we Macedonia are rich in horses, people love to ride horses, and few people drive." Moreover, they had never participated in any motorsport competitions before (the Greek city-states regarded Macedonia as barbarians and did not allow them to participate in the Greek Games), and had no racing experience at all, and it was only because of Dionia's hospitality that they signed up for this event, and it was inevitable that they would suffer such failures. ”

Feely obviously couldn't accept such a statement, and he said with a stern face: "Since you have participated in the competition, you must have the ambition to win the championship!" No experience can learn from experienced people, hurry up and train! Dionia sent out an invitation a year ago, and what he has been doing for more than a year, behaving so clumsily, causing the audience in the stadium to look down on us, how can this be acceptable! ”

The Macedonian envoy was a little embarrassed, he sank his face, simply ignored Fili, stared straight at the arena, and thought: Although you are a prince, you have no rights, and you have caused me a lot of trouble by coming to Dionia without permission, and now you are actually yelling at me, you simply don't know what to do!

The contemptuous attitude of the Macedonian envoy made Fili grit his teeth, although he was young, he was already relatively well-versed in the world, and he knew very well why the other party dared to do this, not only because he was insignificant in Macedonia, but even his brother King of Macedonia, Patricas, also did not have much influence in the country, most of the power was controlled by Ptolemy and several other ministers, and he even doubted that without the support of Dionia, the brazen and outward proclaimed "it was Pedicas and his stepfather" Ptolemy had long since usurped the throne. Domestica was in decline, while Outer Macedonia was a poor and backward country in the eyes of many city-states and states, a world of difference from its neighboring Thessaly, the kingdom of Dionia.

The reason why Fili secretly came to Dionia to watch the games was not the main purpose, but to seriously explore the real reason why Dionia had become such a powerful kingdom in just twenty or thirty years from a small city-state, but the population of Turiy was so large, he was in it, he was only a drop in the ocean, and no one cared about it, he was shocked by the prosperity of this huge city, and he could not see through this prosperity and the real secrets that led to this prosperity.

He sometimes can't help but feel depressed: is it possible that the Macedonian royal family will always be under the protection of Dionia?! Could it be that Macedonia will never be able to perform miracles like Dionia?!

………………………………………………………………

The race was still in full swing, with two, three, and four laps...... In the first two places were always the Egyptian and Turiyi cars, with the two drivers biting each other tightly, with a difference of only one body at best. The third to fifth positions are constantly changing, sometimes Gaul, sometimes Bruti, sometimes Corinth...... You chased after me, it was so lively, and it aroused bursts of cheers from the audience outside the venue.
