The speed of the Bruti cavalry advancement slowed down, and once the stagnant cavalry was more likely to become the target of attack. In the dust, the cavalry were frightened. They not only had to beware of the javelins thrown by the enemy, but also had to be careful not to trip up by their comrades who fell from time to time in front of them.

Seeing the cavalry behind him fall into chaos, the cavalry who had already rushed to the front, led by the leader, had to turn around and charge against these Dionian light infantry to relieve their teammates' dilemma.

Epigenis soon learned about the news of the enemy's attack. Not only did he not evacuate the soldiers, but he instead brought some light shield soldiers to meet them. He knew very well that the cavalry charge was not the spear in the hands of the cavalry, but the running war horses. When they hit the light infantry without much protection, they were either broken or seriously injured. In fact, the dense spear formation was the best way to stop the cavalry's charge, but the light infantry did not meet this condition and did not have time to prepare.

Facing the Bruti cavalry rushing towards him, he and these battle-hardened former Thracian light shield soldiers calmly put the Piscorer on the javelin.

"Take!" Epitensis roared and threw the javelin in his hand. The javelin flew flat and straight, and in a blink of an eye it penetrated deeply into the neck of the war horse in front.

The war horse neighed miserably and immediately threw the cavalry off the horse's back.

With this round of throwing by the light shield soldiers, people were tilted up and down in front of them. Instead of looking at the throwing effect, they quickly took out the reverse blade knife at their waists, raised the leather shield on their left hand, squatted on the ground with a lunge, and glanced at the enemy cavalry that had already rushed to the front, rolled to the left and right. When they really didn't have time to avoid it, they would fall to the ground, shrink into a ball, and use the leather shield to protect their heads and chests to block the trampling of the horse's hooves. Seeing the opportunity, they would use the curved blade of the reverse blade knife to cut the horse's legs, frighten the horses, and throw the cavalry down.

Just when the Bruti cavalry was in trouble, the troops led by Zpitt had already fought with the Bruti light infantry.

The arrows intertwined in the air are densely packed like thick dark clouds. When they turn into arrow rain and fall to both sides, they take away fresh life.

After a few rounds, the Bruti light infantry could not stand it. After all, all the archers in Dionia were concentrated on the left wing, and the number was not comparable to that of Bruti, who evenly distributed the light infantry.

But in the middle and right wing of the Dionian army formation, the Bruti light infantry could voluntarily pour arrows at the Dionian soldiers, and they even approached to throw javelins within 50 meters.

The soldiers of the Dionian Legion raised long shield walls and blocked the enemy's long-range attack fire with thick copper shields and iron helmets.

The team officials kept shouting: "Stay! Stay! Don't worry!" Preventing soldiers from impulsively throwing javelins in their hands will not only easily arouse the enemy's alertness, but also disrupt the overall defense of the team, resulting in unnecessary increase in casualties.

Fortunately, as the Bruti infantry got closer, the light infantry had to retreat immediately, quickly pass through the gap between the infantry teams, and retreat to the rear, otherwise they would be surrounded by the infantry and reach the forefront of the battle, fighting face to face with the heavy shields and heavy armor Greek heavy infantry.

The Bruti infantry finally started running. They roared and rushed towards the Dionia square, which was waiting for the battle.

Compared with the invading Bruti soldiers, the soldiers of the Dionian were as calm as a mountain. They held the javelin in their hands and stared at the distance from the enemy.

The team officials shouted: "Jaberlin!"

Dark clouds floated out from the long army formations of seven or eight miles.

The charger of the Brutis was caught off guard and was instantly taken away by the sharp spear tip. However, the rain of javelin did not delay the progress of the Brutis soldiers. They stepped over the bodies of their comrades and advanced faster, so that many Dionian soldiers had no time to throw a second javelin. They suddenly hit the shield wall of the Dionian army formation, and immediately knocked out countless cracks.

The Bruti warrior rushed in fearlessly, trying to expand the gap. In the third and fourth rows, the soldiers of the Dionian quickly raised their shields to meet them, and forced the enemy back with a spear.

For a moment, the soldiers on both sides collided with shields, guns and spears intersected, dust and fog filled the sky, and the sound of killing was shocking...

When the noon sun casts shadows on the small sundial, Onatas, who is in charge of Greek teaching, announced that the morning class ends.

When the children cheered, he said seriously: "Children, after you go back, I hope you can read this poem by Hesiod well, and it is best to recite it. You must write down the new words I teach. I will check tomorrow, have you remembered them all?!"

"Remember, teacher!" the students answered in unison.

"Especially you, Patrocros." Onatas pointed at the child sitting in the distance and reminded: "I don't want to see you stand again tomorrow, do you understand?"

Patrocross lowered his head embarrassedly.

The classmates around him laughed loudly.

Patroclus' poor performance in Greek class is a completely sharp contrast to his quick and accurate answer to his math class.

Onatas left the classroom, and the students ran out cheering.

Stevelos grabbed Patrocros' arm and urged: "Hurry up! Hurry up! I'll be stolen if I'm late!"

The two rushed out of the classroom. As soon as they turned the corner, they heard a "Ouch" sound and a little girl fell to the ground.

"Hey, are you two blind?!" Cynthia cursed, bent down and asked with concern: "Getia, are you okay?"

"I...is okay." Gitia replied weakly.

Cynthia pulled her up and turned around and stared at the two boys fiercely: "Come and apologize! Otherwise, don't think about leaving!" Although Cynthia is the youngest, these two boys who were extremely active in the class seemed to be afraid of her, and nodded and bowed in a hurry: "I'm sorry, Gitia, we are going..."

"I'm fine, you guys go buy cream bread quickly. If you go late, you won't be able to catch up." Gitia was not angry, but instead reminded them softly.

The two boys were relieved and ran away quickly. Patrocross did not forget to look back at Cynthia while running, and then quickly looked away.

Cynthia snorted: "Getia, you are easy to talk to. If I do, I will never spare them!"

Gitia smiled gently and patted the dust off her body.

"Oh, by the way! Let's go to my house for lunch today, let's go to eat real cream bread!" Cynthia suddenly remembered something and sent her an invitation: "In the morning, when I left home, my mother told me that I must take you home at noon!"

Gitia stopped talking and nodded slightly shyly.

The afternoons of Turiyi Junior School are usually arranged for exercise classes: boys conduct simple military training and practices such as rugby and football, while girls run, jump and some games, so they don’t have long free time at noon.

Except for the children in Turi Ibn City who have time to go home for lunch, children who are far away can only solve their stomach problems nearby. Fortunately, with the expansion of the school's influence and the increase in students, teachers, guards and other personnel, businessmen and vendors have seen business opportunities. They set up shops in areas designated outside the school, selling books, paper, stationery, clothes, food... The most famous one is the small restaurant built here by the consul's wife, Cristoya. She provides lunch to students at a low price. The students' favorite lunch recently is the newly launched cream bread in the restaurant. Every day, students and even teachers line up to buy it, and the supply is in short supply.

As classmates in the same classroom, Cynthia and Gitia soon became good friends. Cynthia invited her to her home for the first time and were treated well by Crystoya. Especially after knowing that Gitia was Davers' old comrade-in-arms, the captain of the First Legion, and the adopted daughter of the Senate Alexis (Alexis has been living in Amendorala and has not moved to Turiyi), Crystoya warmly invited her to come to the mansion to have dinner every noon, and Crystoya's enthusiasm has also brought her mother-daughter relationship closer to her and Cynthia.

…………………………………………………………

The delta between the Clarti River and the Koseni River was originally mainly a settlement area for city-state slaves, the collection and storage areas of stone ore and copper mines. Not only did the public security and the environment were poor, but a lot of slag was poured into the two rivers every day.

After Davers took over Turiyi, when he saw this situation, he discussed with Kunogolata and Marigi many times how to manage this area.

Finally, the Union's public slave residential area was moved to the military camp north of the main city of Turiyi, not only to keep it away from the Turiyi residential area, but also to monitor the military camps nearby. Whenever there is an abnormality, troops can be sent to suppress it immediately. At the same time, the stone mine workshop was moved to the market next to the port, and the copper mine workshop was moved to the new commercial park in Amendolar at the beginning of the year, next to the Saraceno River, so that it could obtain enough technical personnel nearby and form a good interaction with other workshops. The most important thing is that the lives and health of thousands of residents in Turiyi are no longer polluted.

Then, Davers planned this vacant land as the cultural center of the entire Dionysian Union, where the Dionysian School was established, and the Dionysian Academy, which represents the highest scientific and cultural level of the alliance, is under construction. It has been clarified that Helps, the director of the Turiy Hospital, will build a medical school in the college; Mentotic Els will also move the Mathematics Institute; Ansitanos plans to establish a historical research group.

In order to ensure that students and teachers can study and research with peace of mind, Davers also asked Heraclid, Little Heraclid to build another wooden bridge in the middle of the Koseni River, so that the frequent transport of ore trucks passing by the north and south of the delta. Only the two wooden bridges carrying pedestrians from north to south cannot be closed for the time being, but Heraclid is already studying to build a real stone bridge directly between the north and south of Turiyi.
