Chapter XXVIII The Sorrows of Kunogolata
The two sides in the middle tried their best to push each other. The soldiers on Antonios finally got the rugby standing on the ground and passed Olivers back from his crotch. He immediately threw it hard and threw it towards the big man Tigertinos on the left.
While Tigtinos received the ball, he rotated and rushed forward to grab his opponent, held the ball, and rushed forward.
Another opponent rushed over from the front.
Shanotimas blocked his grapple in time.
Tigtinos is a strong man. Once his speed rises, he is unstoppable. He is caught by the other party twice, but he is thrown away by his powerful momentum.
Seeing that he had already rushed through the distance between his two markers at halftime, Epitensis couldn't help but shouted anxiously off the court.
At this time, a team member from the side and behind caught up quickly, rushed forward and spread his arms in the air, accurately and forcefully hugging Tigertis' feet.
Tigtinos pushed the gold mountain and fell on the grass like a jade pillar. Fortunately, he held the ball in his arms and did not lose it.
The Epigenis team members rushed up and slapped the player's body excitedly. It was a Lucanian. Although he couldn't understand what the Greeks were calling, he could still feel the joy and kindness in it, so he also opened his mouth and smiled.
The Lucanian in Antonios suddenly exclaimed.
"What did they say?" Antonios asked Bagule.
"They are calling that person's name, his name is Litom." Bagule pointed to the Lucanian player on the field: "The famous warriors in our tribe are also very powerful hunters!"
Antonios nodded thoughtfully.
Drax ran over and asked with concern: "How is it? Is there anything wrong?"
Tigtinos struggled to stand up and took two steps to show that it was okay. Because the football is too confrontational and easy to be injured, and the existing conditions of Amendolar cannot make protective gear for each soldier, Davers strictly stipulates that the attack can only be destroyed by grappling, grabbing, pulling, and blocking. Do not injure people with dangerous actions such as bumping, hitting, and kicking, otherwise participating in the game will be prohibited. Therefore, the soldiers are afraid of being banned and are cautious in taking action. At the same time, Davers arranged a doctor on the sidelines and was ready to rescue them at any time.
"Very good! Very good! Good job! We have advanced so much, and we will try harder to get this point!" Olivers clapped his hands hard, encouraged his teammates, and arranged new tactics at the same time.
The game started again, Olivers got the ball and threw it to Tigtinos.
Tigtinos took the ball and ran two steps. Seeing two opponents rushing towards him, he immediately threw the ball back to Oliver.
Under the protection of his teammates, Olivers threw the ball to Tigtinos again.
The guy quickly threw the ball back to Olivers.
Oliverus made a third move to Tigtinos. When the opponent's attention was attracted, he suddenly turned his body and shook his wrist and threw the ball forward to the right, and then was thrown to the ground by the opponent.
Amid the exclamations of the players on the field, the rugby flew twenty meters in the air and was about to fly out of the baseline. An Antonios team member rushed over quickly, jumped up hard, and reached out to block the rugby, but because the ball was too fast, he did not catch the ball. So after landing, he jumped up quickly again, but still couldn't catch it. The opponent had already rushed over and grabbed it.
Amid the huge regrets of the soldiers watching the game off the court, Antonios lost the opportunity to attack.
The slaves on the field also started shouting loudly.
"What are they talking about?" Antonios asked curiously.
"They said, 'If it were them, they would definitely catch this ball!'" Bagule explained: "We Lukaris have been walking in the mountains and forests since we were young, and often climbing high and low. If we talk about jumping, other races may not be able to match!"
Antonios nodded and said, "We should defend below, you five are here together."
Bagule was stunned and then became excited. After watching the game off the court for a while, he thought the game was very interesting and exciting, and he had long been eager to try it.
"In addition, I suggest that after you go back, it is best to urge your tribe members to learn Greek, otherwise you will not be able to communicate during the competition!" Antonios reminded with a little meaning.
……………………………………………………………………
As it got late, more than 800 Lucanian slaves were waiting anxiously on the construction site. Some people began to restlessness and began to have quarrels with the soldiers who supervised them.
At this moment, forty slaves came back talking and laughing.
"Hey, are you okay?!" The tribe members came forward and asked with concern.
"Don't worry, we're pretty good!" Bagule comforted them, looking unconcealed with excitement.
"Oh, the Greeks invented this rugby game so interesting! You didn't see that in the last round of the game, Bagule jumped up, received the ball in the air, avoided the blocking of two people in a row, and directly scored and helped his team win the championship!" A returning slave said excitedly.
"It's not about breaking into the formation, it's about a touchdown!" Bagule corrected.
"If my team hadn't cooperated well, I would have defeated you and entered the finals!" Litom said dissatisfiedly.
"Brother, you must understand that your cooperation is not good because you can't speak well! If you want to defeat me next time, you must learn Greek!" Bagule warned him.
Litom thought for a while and nodded seriously.
The waiting slaves were confused: What game... Competition... Champion?
Then, the returned slaves began to excitedly tell them about their experience in Amendorala training camp. The waiting slaves were curious at the beginning to many people became interested in this game, and they made up their minds: next time they had to work harder on the construction site, strive to be selected next time, and participate in this very interesting game!
From this day on, the progress of various projects in Amendolar has made rapid progress...
For Lukaria's old citizen, he was destined to spend a sleepless night. For example, Alsinis, he could not forget the fact that his parents died at the hands of the Lukani. However, when he moved forward with the ball, the Lukaria in the same team blocked his opponents for him many times and sent him to score a touchdown, he excitedly hugged Lukani teammates, but threw hatred out of the sky. When he returned home, he thought about it, but he felt extremely conflicted. This is the charm of modern team sports in his previous life. When individuals integrate into the collective and win by unity, any previous conflict of hatred will be eliminated by the joy of victory. This is the intention of Davers forcing each team to join five Lukani slaves.
………………………………………
The next morning, Davers had breakfast and was about to go out to inspect the carpenters to make elevated waterwheels when he saw Asisters running in in a hurry.
"What happened?!" Davers asked immediately.
"Kunogorata...Kunogorata has been expelled from Turiyi. Now he is leading his family... and his tribe members towards Amendolarah!" Yasserz said breathlessly.
What?! Davers was shocked.
It turned out that after the alliance agreement was signed, Kunogorata sent people to investigate the financial situation of the Turiyi treasury on the grounds that "a new trade plan is needed to be formulated to enrich the empty treasury."
The investigation is underway, but rumors are beginning to spread in the city of Turiyi: "The hasty battle with the Lucanians was led by Kunogorata. At that time, Ferris and the mercenary leaders strongly opposed it. Even Davers, the hero who saved Turiyi, submitted another more feasible combat plan, but they were rejected by Kunogorata. Under his urging and forced, the veteran general Ferris was forced to fight. In the battle, it was Kunogorata's early escape that led to the collapse of the middle phalanx, and Ferris died bravely..."
With the help of those who are interested, this rumor spread rapidly throughout the city. Since some of the rumors were facts, when the skeptical people went to find someone to confirm, they selectively believed the facts because they were all families of the dead. Their sadness was suppressed by Davers' victory. Now they need a catharsis, and Kunogorata is the best target. So anger erupted among the people. They gathered and shouted: "Konogorata stepped down!... Severely punish Kunogorata!..." The slogan surrounded the city hall.
Seeing that something was wrong, Kunogorata quietly slipped back home from the back door of the city hall. Unexpectedly, the people who rushed over after hearing the news surrounded his house.
Kunogorata urgently ordered the people and slaves to strengthen their guard against the people rushing into the house. He stood in the wall and shouted and explained to the aggressive people.
The two sides were stalemate, and someone suddenly shouted: "People, don't forget that after Kunogorata fled back to the city, he forced us to close the city gate! So much so that the citizens who fled back could not enter the city, and most of them were killed by the Lukari people! He was the murderer!!"
Many people remembered Kunogorata's nerve-wrenching scream at that time: "Close the city gate!" In fact, this measure in the state of emergency saved the whole city, but the angry people would not consider these things at all at this moment. They would only remember that they were watching their relatives slaughtered like lambs under the city. They hated their powerlessness, and of course they hated the "culprit" even more!
So a more intense conflict occurred: the people wanted to forcibly rush into the house of Kunogolata. The people in the courtyard tried desperately to stop it. The angry people even carried the marble and finally opened the gate of the courtyard. Countless crazy people flocked into the courtyard. If Kunogolata had not pretended to be dead and the slaves were loyal to protecting the master, he would have been beaten to death on the spot.
On this day, the people looted his home like thugs: one of his sons was beaten to death, the other daughter was defiled, many tribe members and slaves were injured, and most of the property in the home was taken away.
The wind is blowing!
