In particular, each team represents their own Demo or town, which makes the audience tend to watch the game and become more involved. Although they don’t understand many rules very well, it does not affect their cheering for the teams in their own region, or even quarrel with the audience in other regions.

As the rugby game continued, a strange phenomenon also occurred in Rome. The conflict between the original Romans and the newly migrated citizens of Dionia decreased. Even after the game, they were seen holding hands and shouting the names of the players of their teams in their own languages, while the quarrel began between the various Demo people...

……………………………………

When the Roman people were in a celebration carnival, the soldiers of the Dionysians in the camp outside Satneycomb were quite depressed: in order to prevent the spread of the plague, they had to follow the orders and try to stay in the tents, not gather in the camp, not hold various competitive sports in the camp, and even have to undergo examinations from doctors every day. This is the most boring Hades celebration day they have had. The only luck is that King Davers would visit the soldiers in various tents from time to time, which is also the most direct contact with the soldiers of King Dionys.

Doctors and nurses are relatively busy. They wear clothes that wrap their bodies tightly every day, rush between camps, busy with examinations and treatments, especially those medical staff sent to Roman camps suffering from plague, who have to risk being infected at all times, but even so, many doctors are still rushing to go because this is a rare opportunity for them to combine theory with practice.

The medical staff of Dionia carefully treated and cared for the injured and infected Roman soldiers, treating them like their relatives, and gradually moved and eliminated the hatred of the Roman soldiers towards the Dionians.

The medical director Stacikodas often wrote to Hippocrates, who lives in Turiyi, and consulted him about the problems encountered during treatment.

Hippocrates, who was already in his seventies, learned that there was a plague in Latinum, and he insisted on taking a boat trip. His students repeatedly dissuaded him, but failed to make a move. However, his deeds of risking his life for medicine spread, which inspired countless doctors Dionia.

Turiyi's Hades celebration and rugby competition are much worse than in previous years. The towns and towns in the Sicily territory were unable to send teams to participate because they were in war. The best players in other cities were often the best soldiers. They either went to Latinum with King Davers, or were under Alexis, among the mountains of Samonet.

In addition, an enemy situation occurred in the Apulia area. A fleet of more than 500 soldiers landed on the coast near Balum. They held the flag of the former Pucheti Kingdom and shouted the slogan "Driving away the Dionians and giving the Pucheti freedom", but rushed into the nearby villages to loot. The people in the neighboring town hated their robbery behavior and quickly summoned the citizens of the Legion reserve team in the city, formed an army of 600 people. Under the command of the Second Cavalry Legion who rushed to the news, they attacked the enemies entrenched in the village and defeated them in one fell swoop.

It was learned from the prisoners that in the following period, several remnants of Apulia might have come to invade. The Senate made a decision: the towns and towns in the Apulia region do not have to send teams to Tuliyi to participate in the competition. They must complete all the autumn harvest matters as soon as possible and make every effort to defend themselves.

The Ministry of Military Affairs also informed the remaining Ninth Army and the Second Cavalry Corps to all enter Pucheti's barracks, and temporarily be commanded by the commander of the Ninth Army Tigtinos, who will be in the middle and be responsible for countering the enemy landing from various coasts of Apulia.

The decision of the Senate aroused opposition from the people of Apulia's towns, especially in the Mesapi and Pucheti areas. They sent people to the Turiyi Senate to express their feelings to the Senate and expressed their opinion that their sending teams to the competition will not affect their full defense against possible enemies.

The Senate finally agreed to their request, but this incident aroused the resentment of the Apulian people towards their enemies.

With the Apulian people sharing the same hatred of the enemy, a very small number of people who secretly had connections with the remnants did not dare to act rashly.

During the celebration, there was something that the people of Turiyi kept talking about.

Since King Davers is not here, it is logical that the person responsible for the presidency of the main temple of Hades on the day of the grand ceremony should be replaced by the kingdom scepter Priest Plessenus, but Plessenus refused, insisting that on the day of Pluto's birthday, his descendants should preside over it so that this gloomy king of night can be pleased and better protect the kingdom in this special year.

Most of the veterans agreed with this, but the actual situation was a bit troublesome. Not only did Davers not be in Turiyi, but his only adult son, Crotokataks, was not in Turiyi, and the other children were still young...

After discussion, the elders finally decided that the princess Cristoya would be responsible for presiding over the sacrifice.

In the eyes of the elders, although Cristoya is not a descendant of the Pluto, she is the wife of King Davers and a family. Hades doesn't think she will have much opinion.

Why didn't I choose Agenis? The reason is very simple. She is already the principal priest of the Temple of Hera. If she comes to preside over this ceremony, it will anger the two gods, Hades and Hera. Of course, Cristoya's influence on the elders is also the reason why the elders did not express strong opposition.

So on the day of the celebration, the princess Cristoya, who was solemn and charming, stood in front of the altar of the main temple of Hades, and recited the tribute to Hades solemnly. Her beautiful and noble face and crisp and beautiful voice became the most memorable scene of this celebration.

…………………………………

While the people of Dionian in Greater Greece celebrated the celebration to eliminate the haze brought to them by the war, the people of Dionian in the Sicily territory are gradually ushering in the most difficult moment of the war.

Mago led more than 50,000 soldiers to cross the mountains and enter the southern edge of the Catanian plain, and built a camp between Leotini and Paragonia, in an attempt to separate the connection between these towns and isolate Paragonia.

Therefore, during the Carthaginian camp construction, the Paragonian defenders and the new military camp of Katanai not far north of Leotini sent troops to harass the Carthaginian army many times, but because Mago was always on guard, he failed to achieve great results. On the contrary, under the obstruction of the Carthaginian cavalry, the troops that came out of the new military camp failed to retreat in time and suffered considerable casualties, which also made the commander of the Seventh Army Brelu more cautious in using troops.

However, the harassment of the Dionian army also led to the rough completion of the construction of the Carthage barracks a few days later. During this period, Mago was not idle. He sent thousands of Numibian cavalry to break into the Catanian plains, in an attempt to loot the people and supplies of Katanai.

However, Cyporus and Leotitzides had long expected this. Just when the Carthage army advanced to Paragonia, they had mobilized all the people of Dionian living outside the city to carry supplies and temporarily moved into the city of Catanai.

The Numibian cavalry, who had not gained something, began to destroy villages, farmlands and other facilities, so piles of fires lit up on the Catanian Plain, and villages turned into ashes in the fire. The only luck was that Paragonia successfully blocked the Carthage army for a few days before, allowing the people on the Catanian Plain to complete the autumn harvest in time.

The people hiding in Katanai were very anxious when they learned that their homes were destroyed. They gathered together and went to the city hall to petition, hoping that the army could repel these alien cavalry raging on the plains.

Given that Carthage's main force attacked from the south of the Catanian Plain, Leotitzides had led half of the Eighth Legion to retreat from Agilion to Catanai City.

These days, Leotizides went to the city wall during the day to inspect the defense situation, listened to the rewards of the scouts, and stayed in the study at night, looking at the map and pondering.

When Siprous came to visit Leotzides, the Sicilian commander remained in the study.

"Prosous, there is a big upset outside now, you can still sit still!" Siprous said half-jokingly and half-seriously when he saw him.

Leotizides knew what he was saying, and said in a cold tone: "War is not a fight between children. If you are bullied, you must take revenge immediately. I don't need to listen to the ignorant shouting."

When Cyporus heard this, he frowned slightly, and he persuaded in a gentle tone: "You must understand the pain of the people losing their homes. Although their anger is a bit irrational, it may infect your soldiers. You must know that most of the soldiers of the Eighth Legion and the Reserve are Katanai, and their houses and fields have also been destroyed. This may have a significant impact on their morale?"

Leotizides turned his gaze away from the map, looked at Siphorus, and asked, "Is there anything unusual?"

"I don't know this, but I think the soldiers will have some thoughts in their minds." Siphorus replied embarrassedly.
