At this time, the familiar bells came from the northwest direction, nine consecutive rings, and nine more rings were heard after a period of intervals.

The audiences on the side of the square turned their heads north and were surprised to find a huge golden statue standing on the hill of the gods, extremely dazzling under the sunlight.

"Oh! That's... the statue of Hades!"

"The previous rumor is true. The Kingdom has really built a statue of Hades that can rival the Athena Colossus in Athens!"

...

Although the sunlight reflected by the statue was so dazzling, the people still tried their best to open their eyes wide and focused their respectful gazes on the hills, with excitement and fanaticism on their faces.

Soon they discovered that not only the statue of the gods brought them surprises, but the newly renovated temple that had just appeared before them was also pleasant: not only is it taller and more spacious and magnificent than before, but the triangular lintels drawn above the temple are also more colorful and shining, like stars in the sky (in fact, it was an innovation that craftsmen gathered together. After crushing the stained glass made of sea sand, they mixed it into the paint, and the effect produced by the sunlight).

The Greeks have always believed that the temple is the home of the gods, and the place where they live must be a magnificent and magnificent building. The converted temple on the top of the mountain is undoubtedly in line with their most extreme imagination.

So, under the command and leadership of the inspection team, the people turned into strands of people and rushed to the Hill of Gods with an impatient mood.

The closer he gets to the hills, the more the people feel the majesty and enormous of the statue, but he does not give people a sense of oppression caused by majesty. On the contrary, he lowers his head and is easily seen by the people. The kindness and compassion he shows make the people want to get close to him more.

Not long after, the entire hill was completely surrounded by abortions except for the temple on the top of the mountain. People gathered in the warning circle formed by the palace guards, with people folded their backs, tiptoed, opened their eyes wide, and looked at the temple and the giant statues with all their attention.

Some careful people also found that the biggest difference between the appearance of the new temple and other Greek temples is that there are many square small windows on the stone wall under the triangular fence on the roof of the temple, and there is a sculpture in each small window, which looks very strange.

But what the people who stood in the distance and couldn't see clearly didn't know is that these are not ordinary sculptures. They are not just major Greek gods such as Zeus, Hera, Apollo, etc., as well as statues of gods respected by other races in the kingdom. These numerous statues of gods stand in stone walls, surrounding the statue of Hades in the temple, like stars holding the moon, and their meaning is self-evident.

Davers stood in front of the temple with a solemn expression. Beside him was the priest of the scepter in a white robe, and behind him were dozens of Hades priests and saints in white robe.

Presinas coughed lightly and walked forward slowly with a crutch. While he was speaking, the priests also spoke in the same words. Unlike ordinary voice transmitters, they could speak in a neat tone and the same emotions, thus creating an amplified resonance. Therefore, although everyone did not shout hysterically, they could send Presinas's words to the ears of every citizen on the hill like a gentle breeze:

"Citizens of Dionia and believers of Hades, today is a day worth celebrating! We have reshaped the golden body for the great Hades and rebuilt the divine residence so that he can live in the temple more comfortably and bless us better!

Before the founding of Dionia, Hades's dedication to the Greek people was buried. Not only did no one praise his achievements, but he became afraid and far away from him. Until the emergence of his descendant Davers, he established a powerful kingdom in just 20 years and respected Hades as the guardian of the kingdom. Not only did hundreds of people become believers of this great god, but the justice, strictness, dedication and sacrifice that Hades had been fighting for became the concepts followed by the people of the entire kingdom.

This made Hades feel very happy. In order to thank his descendants for their great achievements for him, he passed down an oracle and allowed King Davers to be named after him. As long as Davers and his descendants continue to respect him and continue to perform their duties on the ground, he will always protect this family, and anyone who attempts to violate maliciously will be cursed by him forever!"

Speaking of this, Presinas looked back at Davers, bent down, and said respectfully: "His Majesty King Hades Davers, please bring your crown and accept the congratulations of the believers!"

Davers solemnly took it and placed it in a black tray, and slowly put it on his head with exquisite wooden crowns woven with ebony and ferns.

The people around him once again burst into cheers like tsunami: "His Majesty King Davers is a great victory!!!"

"King Hades Davers wins!!!"

...

Since landing in Greece more than 20 years ago, capturing Turiy, establishing Dionia, defeating Crotone, driving Syracuse from the throne of overlords, reducing Carthage to an ordinary city-state, and establishing the most powerful kingdom in history in the Western Mediterranean, Davers' prestige has reached its peak in the kingdom. Moreover, without the restraint of Kunogolata, Cornerus and others, no other veteran expressed opposition to the important decision of this celebration, allowing Davers to easily cover himself and his family with a layer of divine light.

It was a sunny morning, and Masims strolled the streets inside the barracks.

It is called a military camp, and soldiers prefer to call it a military city. Compared with the nearby Etruscan town, it is indeed more like a city: the entire camp occupies a mile, is square, surrounded by 5 meters of walls, and is made of thick square bricks, and towers up to 10 meters are built every 50 meters on the city wall. The ground of the entire city is completely paved with hard stone slabs, which avoids the accumulation of water and mud on the ground caused by rain and snow days, and also makes the soldiers feel at ease when walking on such a flat and hard road - in such a camp that is completely piled with stones, they can withstand the attack of any powerful enemy.

Masims is here because after joining the Dionia intelligence department last year, he received a new appointment during his training, asking him to apply as a freeman to join the mercenary corps that are being formed to go to the Etruscan border. After successfully joining, he always monitors the corps and reports on its intelligence and the enemy situation around him at any time.

At the beginning, Masims resisted this order psychologically because he did not want to stay away from his wife and children, and even deliberately performed worse when he was interviewed and tested, and wanted to avoid being selected. However, there were not many free people who went to register to read. However, Masims was able to write articles with smooth meanings in Dionys and could also count. It was a rare talent in the newly established legion that he admitted on the spot and immediately gave him a position as a statistician in the baggage battalion.

In this way, Masims became a member of the Etruscan border corps. He was then concentrated in the Turiyi barracks with all the recruited free people and trained for three months.

It was a three-month period as difficult as hell. In order to make these rookies who lack military training and have not even participated in the battle, they can become qualified Dionian soldiers as soon as possible and come in handy as soon as possible, the Military Affairs Department sent a large number of military training officers to train them in high-intensity, and stipulated that Masims and other logistics personnel must also participate, because the reason is very good: the logistics personnel of various Dionian legions must participate in the battle as auxiliary soldiers at critical moments of battle, and the border legion is no exception. However, they do not have military skills and are not familiar with Dionian military tactics. How can these logistics personnel cooperate in combat? So they must also train together.

Fortunately, the training intensity of the logistics personnel is not as large as that of the Legionnaires, and high-intensity training means sufficient food guarantee, so Masims will follow the Legionnaires' logistics officers from time to time to purchase food in Turiyi City.

During this period, Masims's ability to manage finances and bargain with vendors was demonstrated, and attracted the attention of senior leaders of the Legion. By the end of the three-month training camp, Masims had been promoted to procurement manager, which was the third important military position in the Legion's logistics battalion after the logistics officer and guard officer.

Not long after, more than 8,000 border troops headed north to enter Etruscan territory.

At this time, after repeated discussions between the Kingdom and the Etruscan League, an agreement had been reached for the land allocated to Dionia, and the address of the military camp had been determined long ago, and the general outline was found with the joint efforts of the engineers sent by the Ministry of Military Affairs and the labor provided by the various Etruscan city-states.

Masims followed the army headquarters to enter the barracks not far from Florentia, the northern city-state of Etruscany. Then the soldiers had to use the construction skills they had just learned and were unfamiliar with the construction skills they had just learned and were unfamiliar with.

During this hard work in the process of building the camp, the recruits will further learn to obey orders, endure hardships, cooperate with each other... completely eliminate the scatteredness of being a free citizen and gradually transform into a soldier of the Dionys Legion.

Also during the process of building the battalion, Masims' ability to organize and coordinate was fully utilized, so a few months later, the legion's logistics officer was transferred back to the Military Affairs Department, and the legion commander directly ordered that Masims temporarily acted as a logistics officer.
