"Compare the current situation of the Thebes and Spartans, it would be strange if he could see it openly." Ipa Mironda said softly with understanding.

Before the Thebes War, Sparta was the Greek overlord. Many city-states in Central Greece had garrisons, including Thebes. The government officials of the Thebes went to see the Spartan garrison generals, and bowed down like slaves meeting their masters, not to mention ordinary people.

Unexpectedly, over 20 years have passed, the real Spartans have fallen to the point of dying. However, with the strong support of Dionysia, Thebes not only completely integrated the entire Piosha area, but also vigorously developed Oropus and the port in the Gulf of Corinth, promoting maritime trade with Dionysia, thus greatly improving the shortcomings of the Piosha area and making it the second largest force in the Greek alliance (the first major force is Dionysia God.

In the Holy Kingdom, Athens dissolved the maritime alliance and lost those sub-states, both the land area and the number of citizens lag behind the Piosha League, but the population and the level of development of trade were still higher than that of Piosha. However, because Thebes and Dionia were closer, most Greek people believed that Piosha was stronger than Athens), which greatly enhanced the voice in the alliance and also caused the Thebesians to rise sharply in the Greek mainland.

Thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west, the status of Sparta and Thebes today was completely reversed.

"It's true!" Pero Pidas laughed heartily.

Agsilous, in the front row, felt very harsh when he heard the laughter, but he could only pretend not to hear it.

"Sit down quickly and don't block the audience behind you." Ipa Mironda reminded that he felt it was completely unnecessary for his friend to take revenge on Agsilous. He was a calm person. Since the establishment of the New Greek Union and Thebes unified the Piosha area, he voluntarily resigned from all positions. If it weren't for the invitation letter from Dionia to the Piosha League this time, he specifically designated Ipa Mironda to attend, he might still be living in seclusion at home.

After Pero Pidas sat down, he looked around with interest, and then said excitedly: "In the invitation letter from Dionia, they will hold a unique sports meeting. I think this arena is very unique. At least the Greek city-states, including our Thebes, do not have the ability to build it!"

"Yes!" Ipa Mironda also sighed: "Do you remember the time when we watched the Games in Corinth when we were young, but we saw the players in Dionia being expelled? Who would have thought that Dionia, who was humiliated by the audience, became the overlord of the entire Greece after only more than 20 years, and invited the entire Mediterranean city-state and country to participate in the Games it hosted!"

"What you said reminds me of it." Pero Pidas said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I heard that even after Dionia became the leader of the Greek league, the alien athletes who participated in various sports games in the past few years will still be discriminated against by the Greek people. Therefore, King Dioria was so angry that he wanted to hold this sports game, allowing all races in the Mediterranean to participate. This is the demeanor of a great country! Unlike the city-states in Greece, which are stubborn and conservative, and petty!"

"Do you mentioned the Greek city-states also include our Thebes and Piosha alliance?" Ipa Mironda asked lightly.

Pero Pidas did not respond, pointed his finger at the side not far away, and said gloatingly: "Look, General Cleonian of Corinth is there! I was wondering what kind of mood he would sit in this arena, would he be worried that the Dionian Games would surpass the Corinth Games and become the most popular sports meet among the Greek people?!"

"Not only Corinth will worry, I think Ellis and Delphi will worry too. Look, aren't their messengers all sitting there?" A voice came from beside them.

Ipa Mironda immediately stood up: "Good morning, Lucomedes!"

"Good morning, Peropidas, Ipa Mironda! I'm glad to sit with you!" Lucomedes raised the ticket in his hand, pointed to the number on the stone bench, and said with a sigh: "What amazed me the most when I came to Turiyi was not the enormous and prosperity of this city, but the fact that there are so many people here, but they can be managed so well and orderly! Now it seems that this is probably because the officials of Dionia are very serious and meticulous in the governance of the country~

You think that even the entrances in the arena (each entrance has a number number, corresponding to the number written on the ticket), the stone stairs (there are wooden bars on the edges of the stone stairs to prevent falling), the seats are designed carefully and thoughtfully, so that so many spectators will not be confused when entering the arena. This shows that they have penetrated this meticulous management into all aspects of people's lives..."

"Yes, think about the past sports meets that did not conflict because the audience competed for seats. We, as mother countries, should not only feel ashamed, but also learn from Dionia humbly!" Pero Pidas said seriously, and then made a polite invitation gesture: "Lucomedes, please sit down!"

After the Greek War, the most benefited by the Greek city-states was not Thebes, but Mantinia. They not only obtained the fertile land of the original Tegea, but also established the Arcadia Alliance with Mantinia as the main body with Mantinia, and became a major force in Greece.

Pero Pidas once said privately to Ipa Mironda, "In order to establish the Piosha League, we, thebes, fought hard with Sparta for many years and sacrificed many people... And Mantinia just followed Dionia closely in the Greek War and finally achieved this goal easily. Apollo is really partial!"

However, Pero Pidas, who was lively and cheerful on the surface but was very proud in the heart, showed sincere respect for Lucomedes, because he not only proposed the first time to "establish the Arcadia Alliance", but also worked tirelessly for many years, and therefore served as the chairman of the Arcadia Alliance for five consecutive years (the highest position in the Arcadia Alliance Parliament can only be held by the Mantinians).
