Soon, the audience let out even louder exclamations, as they saw that the peak of Asimanus suddenly burst into flames, and it was like a miracle.

In fact, it was arranged in advance in the other place, with a huge brazier made of bronze, with an exquisite ignition device, and sufficient fuel, once the rocket with a warning signal, the relevant personnel immediately used the internal mechanism, the brazier was instantly ignited, the flames rose, coupled with the bronze brazier smooth as a mirror, can also refract the sun's rays, so that it looks like a small sun rising on the mountain peak.

Then an even more incredible sight happened, on the mountain peak there was actually a winged envoy of God, holding an unlit torch, slowly descending in the sky towards the brazier, this scene not to mention ordinary spectators, not to mention the monarchs and envoys of the state, even Adiana, who was accompanied by Li Pida, was so clever and clever that she covered her lips in surprise, not understanding what this was all about. In fact, the winged "oracle" is nothing more than a juggler hired at a high price, with a wooden plank model tied to his back in advance, controlled by wire, the wooden board is coated with a layer of wax, and glued with bird feathers, which looks like he has wings from a distance, and behind this "oracle" is an elaborate lifting machine with levers and pulleys, hidden, and hangs this "oracle" with wire, which looks like he himself soars between the sky and the mountains.

"Keep your hands steady, don't let the artist fall into the brazier, it will be too big." Several veteran engineers looked nervous in front of the crane and commanded the staff. In the careful and meticulous control of the equipment, this situation can not be sloppy at all.

Slowly, the oracle flapped its wings. Holding the torch in both hands, hovering over the brazier, the 100,000 spectators held their breath nervously when they saw this scene, but when they saw the oracle put down the torch and lit it, they slowly flew high again to the sound of jubilation. Beside the brazier, several priests in white robes and athletes surrounded by flute and drummers were waiting. The oracle flew in front of the crowd. Slowly landing on the ground, the burning torch was handed to the chief priest, who passed it to each other, and finally the runner with the garland took the torch. He ran down the mountain path to the sound of the flute. This greatly stimulated the high emotions of the audience, who cheered as if they were welcoming the triumph of the war hero.

The runner ran all the way to the schoolyard, and then took the torch to the stands, and handed it into the hands of the host Libidaeus in full view, and then the cavalry commander Gao Qing gave a speech to many people after the sound of a trumpet:

"Me. Calabis. Gao Nerlius. Aemilius. Marcos F. Lybidaeus Marcelicus, deputy to the Roman dictator Julius. The conqueror of the city of Massalia, and now the victor of Menander and the Brass Shield, declares at the foot of this sacred Mount Asimanus that I am at once at once the will of Caesar to remove the Roman legions garrison from Bithynia, Sardis, Ephesus, Caria, Rikdania, Pontus, Gayassia, Armenia, Colchis, and Bosphorus, and to give freedom to the local states and men, and to dissolve the shackles on their heads, and to let no tax collector set foot in this land, Since then, the Republic has only maintained a small number of garrisons in a few disconnected provinces, such as Virginia, Fort Lybida, and Silesia, in order to assist the kings and elders of various states to quell unnecessary rebellions. ”

Upon hearing this, the representatives of the various states in the stands were the first to stand and applaud, and these people certainly knew in their hearts that Lipida was actually saying that Virginia, located in the heart of Asia Minor, had two legions of the Romans; Silesia had a legion and a fleet; Fort Lybida was ominously numerous, but there were at least two or three legions of garrisons. Therefore, the so-called "freedom" in the mouth of the cavalry commander is just a certain autonomy under the supervision of Rome's powerful armed forces, and the monarchs of various countries still have the obligation to pay tribute and servant troops to Caesar, such as the provision of auxiliary legions this time, which was directly taken away by Caesar, and it is a big question when these people will be able to return to their hometowns.

"Lypidaus lifted the shackles on our feet, then put the shackles on our heads, and finally let our legs and feet 'free'!" A certain king of the Lesser Armenian Quarters whispered a bitter teaser, and then joined everyone in a hypocritical cheer.

As for the soldiers on the colonel field and the people from all over the world who came to watch the competition, because the number of people was too large, many people could not hear what the cavalry commander was saying at the first time, so they could only pass it on by word of mouth, like a relay to convey Li Bida's speech just now, and more viewers who did not hear it were impatient, so they asked to repeat the edict that the cavalry commander said just now.

This time, it was two professional announcers, the high-profile version of the opera's chorus, who repeated the edict twice so loudly that all the soldiers and the people heard it clearly, and they cheered, and the shouts of "Liberator and Patron Saint Libidaeus" were like a wave of rage, wave after wave, and then Libida, dressed in a blue toga robe, smiling and holding a torch, lit the huge altar of the sacred flame in the stands and announced the start of the performance before the competition!

In the shouts of all the audience, one phalanx after another, all of which were trained by the soldiers of Li Bida's legion, walked into the school field with neat steps, and then under the instructions of the whistle, one of the phalanx soldiers suddenly raised the small wooden planks in their hands above their heads, and all the small planks of a phalanx were raised at the same time, immediately forming a huge "mosaic painting", each painting is a situational story, there is a scene of the oriental god of war Leus holding a small tower, the scene of the nose hair surging, and the scene of King Numa formulating the Roman law, There are scenes of Caesar and the cavalry commander joining hands to discuss military opportunities, and there are scenes of the triumphant march of the legion, etc., which are intuitively displayed in the eyes of the spectators in the stands and hills around the school field, and the atmosphere quickly reaches a climax.

After the mosaic was finished, all the players from various states and the soldiers and players of the Li Bida Legion also waved their respective flags and formed a phalanx, and entered the university field majestically in the commentary of the petals and the announcer.

"Now passing through the grandstand are the representatives of the Bithynian athletics, they are in high spirits, and the strength of the competitors who have come to participate is wrestling and heavy infantry race walking, and they have sworn in the name of their ancestors Hercules that they will win the crown in this athletic meeting!" Whenever a phalanx of states passed by, the two announcers would make various gestures on the high platform, and report the situation to everyone according to the scripts of the speeches with all their might.
