The whole of Marseille (then called Massilia in Rome) has been transformed into a sea of joy. The festival of Dionysus, known to the Romans as "Bacchanalia", also known as the festival of Dionysus. Refers to any festival held in the Greco-Roman religion for the god of wine, Bacchus, known to the Romans as Dionysus. They may have originally been sacrificed to the god of abundance.

According to the custom of the Roman Republic, the festival of Dionysian was divided into three days. At the Dionysian festival held in the countryside, people carry a model of a Dionysian doppelganger through a solemn popular procession. At the same time, there are a variety of local entertainment activities during the festival. The second day of the celebration took place in the Akoslia program, which was particularly interesting. In the show, a leather bag or wine bag filled with wine and grease is greased, and some naked boys are asked to stand on it and jump along. Dionysian is followed by the Liquor Festival, the main culmination of which is a grand feast and a parade dance, and the required meat is provided by the government. In the dance procession, people especially like to disguise themselves as the Lady of the Mountains and Forests, the Goddess Holly, the Dionysian Revelry, and Satyrus. Next up is the month of Ansestri, the first day of the festival is the opening of the urn of fermented cooked wine. The next day is the Jug Festival, where people make bets on new wine at public feasts; A secret sacrificial ceremony was also held on this day - the second supreme administrator, Basilio, offered his wife to Dionysus, the god of wine, but this was only a symbolic marriage ceremony. The third day is the Pot Burning Festival, where people put out a pot of cooked vegetables and offer it to the spirits of Hades and all the dead. The last is the month of Irafipoli, where the Great Dionysian Festival is celebrated, which is now held in Marseille. The boys parade and sing and dance. There are various celebrations in the city, and at sunset, people drink on deck chairs.

Can an otaku for Maulcock be so clear about Dionysus? Haluha, because Dionysus represents indulgence and freedom. All of these activities are more or less vulgar and obscene, in other words, young men and women will find a place to be romantic and then promiscuous. To Kirk's dismay, in many parts of ancient Greece, the Dionysian festival was held every two years at night with only women and unmarried women. What would happen that night was fascinating. This is also for Mao's later Roman Senate to issue a special decree to prohibit the holding of the Dionysian Festival. You think, the Romans, who are known for their openness and debauchery, can't stand the harmony of Dionysian Day, and how much anger it has to go!

In the city of Marseille, there are songs and laughter, singing and dancing, staggering, pushing cups and changing lamps, everyone is drinking, singing, bathing, and having a happy holiday.

Of course, the highlight of the festival is the gladiator show. People flocked to the Colosseum from all sides of the city of Marseille. The gladiatorial arena is full of colorful flags, and the large gladiatorial arena that can accommodate 20,000 people is full, and the high-ranking officials, celebrities, and wealthy businessmen of Marseille have all arrived. Both Batitas and Andinus became nervous. If this time fails, money is still a trivial matter, and the loss of reputation cannot be afforded.

Kirk was watching the opposing lineup closely. According to the introduction of the on-site commentary, the opponent's lineup is far stronger than the imagination of the Kapus side. Andinus fought at home in Marseille this time, and he actually discharged 7 [God of War] in one go!

[God of War] is the title of the strongest person in the gladiatorial arena in a Roman province, that is, an invincible opponent in the province. In the lineup of Andinus, there are seven provinces of Gallic Mountain, Gaul, Narpinancis, Inner Spain, Outer Spain, Macedonia (Greece), and Africa (formerly Carthage), and the [God of War], which has won half of the top gladiatorial masters of the Roman Republic! No wonder this big fat man has such ambition to be able to dominate. Moreover, judging from this situation, he is not only ambitious to defeat Batitas, but also to go to Rome to challenge the legendary demigod [Shadow of Death]!

After hearing the host's introduction, Batitas's face darkened suddenly.

What's more, Kirk found an acquaintance in the opposing lineup at a glance, an acquaintance he definitely didn't want to see in this situation.

The bearded Bladem Laden, who flew away on the Wind Djinn, was under Andinus's tent.

I was able to recognize him not because Kirk had good eyes, but because Uncle Laden was too stupid, and he appeared in this quaint and heroic ancient Colosseum with an RPG7 bazooka! It's hard to make people unrecognizable. I really don't know where Uncle bin Laden got so many bazookas from, is he really the terror tycoon who deserves to die?

"It's not good, the other party knows everything about us." The sorceress muttered. Kirk was speechless. In the last world, the contractor was on the side of the hostile force, causing his hole cards to leak all his cards, and he was very passive, but he didn't expect this time Stupid Laden to make trouble again.

The other party will definitely pay close attention to plot powerhouses such as Spartacus and Kress on their side. Originally, the opponent's cards were stronger than those on this side, and now the pertinence is stronger than this side, how to play this battle.

Now, it's up to the contractor and Spartacus to play. The addition of 5 contractors should be a variable that the opponent cannot know. Kirk smiled, after the incident in Ilisia, this originally restrained otaku suddenly let go a lot, not only more confident, but also more mature.

Whoever loves to come, let whoever comes, anyway, it's all going to fight!

Let's make the battle more intense!

Kirk couldn't suppress his unrestrained passion, and looked at the audience, but was surprised to find the familiar figure of the blonde and blue-eyed woman. She's here too!

He quietly flew over and kissed it, others didn't know what he meant, but Elisia must have known. Sure enough, the woman over there also flew back and kissed back.

The country is in hand, and the beauties are all collected!

I want an infinite, free feeling!

Spartacus glanced at Kirk, "You don't seem too worried?" ”

Kirkhara smiled: "I'm just worried that they won't be enough for me to play, you should worry about not having a chance to play." ”

Spartacus laughed: "If that's the case, I'll be disappointed." ”

With the sound of a cannon, the Dionysian gladiatorial fight began.

At this time, Kirk received a spatial prompt: "The hidden main quest prologue [Promotion Gladiator] has been completed, and you have participated in the Dionysian Festival gladiatorial fight in Marseille as a [gladiator]." Open the second chapter [Marseille Gladiatorial Battle]. It was the stage for gladiators to perform to their heart's content, and 20,000 Roman citizens and dignitaries watched your bravery and witnessed your glory! Depending on the level of the arena and the number of spectators, [Glory] is awarded 100 points for each gladiator defeated, 300 [Glory] points for each elite gladiator defeated, and 1000 [Glory Points] for each [God of War] defeated. If your team wins the match, the [Glory] reward will be doubled, and based on performance, you will receive a piece of equipment that will be rewarded by the tournament! ”

"Other contractors who are not selected as [Gladiators] participate in gladiatorial fights as slaves. In between gladiator fights, slave fights were interspersed. For each opposing slave killed, you will be rewarded with 25 [Glory Points]. ”

Obviously, Space also attached great importance to this gladiatorial fight, and issued heavy rewards to encourage the contractors to put aside their calculations for a while and fight the enemy together.

The first gladiators of both sides walked into the arena, looked at each other, roared and rushed forward, fighting together!

The big fat gladiator Gatus on Capus's side was armed with a sharp machete and fought with a wild strong man in heavy armor.

The audience erupted in a deafening cheer. Andinus is a native and patron of the Dionysian festival, and it stands to reason that they are all one-sided in favor of the Big Fat Army of Wine Merchants.

Kirk was still lamenting that the audience in Marseille was really enthusiastic, but he saw Batitas on the side with an ugly face, and the well-informed Docott served as a temporary commentator next to him: "The opponent is the No. 1 [God of War] in the Outer Spanish Province, and the [Mountain People] who has won 105 consecutive games - Sick!" The audience cheered for him. ”

Kirk listened carefully, and sure enough, the audience frantically shouted Sick's name, gestured defiantly with both hands, and shouted "Kill him!" Kill him! ”。 It seems that Andinus's wishful thinking is not to play cards according to common sense, and not to rank his star-studded "dream team" - 7 [God of War] to the bottom, but to take the lead as soon as he comes up, sending 1 [God of War] to disrupt the opponent's formation and frustrate the opponent's morale.

"I'm rubbing! Even if it's the home field, you can't be so eccentric, let's call two throats too! Little Fat hugged unevenly: "When I want the fat man to go to college, he will be the main force of the school football team... Cheerleader, this Bartitas is also weak, how can I have to come to 100 Roman beauties and wear that NBA skirt... Then boost morale here, otherwise we won't be motivated by our main hole cards..."

Kirk took a look at Chubby's bare, domineering, and exposed slave outfit with his butt exposed, and decided not to bother with this Chubby who had a wide range of hobbies and was always off track.

At this time, the audience had already erupted in cheers! [Mountain People] - Sykse sold a flaw, the big fat man Gatus was not cheating, he was caught by Syxai and hurt his feet, a fierce shield reversed, and he was hit hard by a sharp shield in the back, and immediately bled and staggered to his knees.

"Stupid! I have long warned him, don't be greedy, this fat man just doesn't listen! Docott was furious.

However, to be honest, Batitas is a well-known Roman gladiator merchant, and his vision is naturally extremely high, otherwise his slave camp would not have escaped a large group of fierce men such as Spartacus and Cress, almost subverting the Mediterranean overlord. Capuzzi trains extremely hard, Dorcot is extremely strict, and it is natural that Gatrus, who can be selected as the first to appear, will not be a three-legged cat.
