When the cheerful music at the end of Act III sounded, and the actors quickly formed a neat triangle and began to dance indulgently, Max's eyes widened like the rest of the Roman soldiers, they had never seen such a peculiar dance: with the ups and downs of the rhythm, the actors moved sometimes masculine, sometimes soft, sometimes funny, shaking their heads, turning their waists, swinging their hips...... These dance moves they have never heard of or seen before, but they are so close to the music and so neat and consistent, that everyone's blood boils when they see it, and their whole body is vibrating with the music, wanting to dance wildly.

In fact, when the music played, many of the Dionian soldiers stood up, humming the melody, shaking their heads and swinging their bodies in place, dancing with the actors on the field.

The scene lasted for more than an hour, and at the end of the audience burst into cheers, and even many Roman soldiers couldn't help but shout along with their comrades.

Soon, however, the Romans stopped shouting, and the cheers of the Dionian soldiers became even more intense, for in the center of the hall was their beloved King Davers.

Davers was wearing the same black liner as the soldiers at this moment, holding a wine glass in his hand, looking around, and said in a solemn voice: "Brothers, this time you went on an expedition to Latinum, and in just four months, you conquered Rome and the surrounding city-states, saved our allies, and lifted the threat to the north of the kingdom. Your relatives will be proud of you, and the Kingdom will be proud of you! Here, on behalf of the Senate and on behalf of the generals who commanded you, I would like to toast you with a glass of wine and thank you for the blood and sacrifices you have shed in this war! ”

Davers said, bending down, holding the glass in both hands, holding it high above his head, and slowly turning around in place.

At this moment, the wilderness, which is filled with tens of thousands of people, is silent, only the sea breeze whimpering.

Davers regained his footing and shouted again: "This glass of wine to you, heroes of the kingdom!" Cheers! ”

Thunder suddenly thundered in the wilderness: "Cheers, Your Majesty!! ……”

The Dionian soldiers all raised their glasses, shouted excitedly, and some even shed tears.

Davers drank it dry, wiped the wine stains from his mouth, stretched out his hand, pressed it down, signaled the surroundings to be quiet, and then he said loudly: "The play just now, is it good?" ”

"Good looking !!"

"Next, I'll put on a show for you too, okay?"

"Good!! ......" the soldiers shouted excitedly.

"It's a song I wrote for you!" After Davers said this, the soldiers were even more excited and at the same time more expectant.

Davos coughed dryly twice, and the room fell silent.

"We are the Ionian legionnaires,

Warriors who defend the security of the kingdom,

Pick up the dear shield and the spear,

Go to the battlefield without hesitation;

My parents were reluctant to see us off,

The ardent expectations of his wife and children at home,

With our thoughts, we go to the battlefield to win glory and share it with them;

We are the soldiers of the Dionian Monarch ......"

This song, Davers has been brewing for some time, the original song comes from the famous Soviet song "Katyusha" in the previous life, the melody is simple and beautiful, the rhythm is brisk, and there is a touch of romance in the heroism, which is very suitable for soldiers to sing on the march and in battle. Davers came out at this time in the hope that it would inspire the soldiers to overcome the fatigue of a long battle, refresh their enthusiasm, and devote themselves to the next war against Carthage with great fighting spirit.

Sure enough, the soldiers liked the song after listening to it once. Because of its simple melody, many soldiers were soon able to hum along in a low voice, and by the time Davers sang it for the third time, the soldiers could already sing loudly, and the whole venue was singing loudly and lively.

When Davers finished singing, the singing around him had not stopped, and the soldiers were completely intoxicated.

After a while, the venue was a little quieter.

Davers asked aloud, "Brothers, is it good?" ”

"That's so nice, Your Majesty !!"

"Want to know the name of this song?!"

"I want to !!"

"It's called 'Song of the Ionian Legion'!"

Not only the soldiers, but also the officers were surprised: "This is a song written for ourselves?!! ”

Pride and pride filled everyone's chests, and they once again sang in unison with louder voices: "We are the Ionian Legionnaires......"

They sang so devotedly, and the frenzy infected the Roman soldiers, who, though they did not understand the meaning of the song, hummed the tune softly, and it was indeed catchy.

Singing over and over again, the Dionian soldiers memorized the entire tune and lyrics.

Davers motioned for them to be quiet again, smiled and said loudly: "Next, the two legion commanders Amintas and Matonis will perform wrestling for everyone, do you want to see it?!" ”

"I want to see it!! ......" When the soldiers heard that there was such a good thing, they shouted excitedly.

Wrestling is the most common sport in various Greek games, and the Dionian soldiers have practiced it since they were children, and wrestling is also a regular sport to exercise the soldiers' physique in military training in peacetime, but they have never seen two high-ranking regiment commanders wrestling, so they are naturally very curious.

According to the tradition of Greek wrestling, both fighters should be naked and coated with olive oil, but the autumn nights were still a bit cold, and the two captains were not young, and in order to prevent catching a cold, they both wore black liners, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of the soldiers, and when they stood in the center of the venue, the shouts around them were even more enthusiastic.

"Are you ready?" Davers asked with a smile.

Amintas stared at his opponent and raised his chin: "Matonis, you usually like to rob me, today I will let you know who is the most powerful warrior in the kingdom!" ”

Mattonis blinked his eyes and said disapprerovingly: "Old captain, you are older than me, don't worry, I won't give it my all." ”

"You want to provoke me?" Amintas grinned, and then became serious, his right foot taking a small step back, half-crouched, hunched over, arms outstretched, ready to strike.

Seeing this, Mattnes immediately prepared for wrestling.

Davers turned into a referee at this moment and shouted, "Go!" ”

The two legion leaders roared at the same time and pounced on each other.

The hall was boiling over, the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Legions were desperately cheering for their respective commanders, and the soldiers of the other legions were cheering for the two legionnaires who were very famous in the army at the same time, and if there were no officers to maintain order, most of the soldiers would probably flock to the center of the hall together. Even if they couldn't get out of place, they all stood up, kept waving their arms and screaming and jumping, and the scene was very hot.

In such an atmosphere, Amintas and Matonis had already forgotten Davers's advice of "just performing, don't take it too seriously", and they also became scrappy, and they both tried their best to defeat each other completely.

After a long fight, the two men were so tired that they were out of breath and even the lining was torn, and finally Amintas, who was six years older than Matonis, lost the match because he was thrown to the ground due to lack of energy.

Matonis immediately helped him to his feet.

Amintas patted the dust off his body and said unconvinced: "Boy, if it had been ten years earlier, you would never have been able to defeat me, but now...... I'm getting old......"

Mattonis, who had taken advantage, didn't argue with him, but only had a smile on his face.

At this time, Davers said loudly to the soldiers around him: "Soldiers, was the wrestling performance of the two legion commanders wonderful just now?!" ”

"Wonderful !!" The soldiers shouted excitedly.

Davos pointed to the two who were patting away the dust, and said seriously: "Captain Amintas is 54 years old this year, and Captain Matonis is 48 years old this year, they are old in age, but they are still strong and agile, not weaker than you young people, this is the result of their persistence in exercising for many years. So, you should all learn from the two legion commanders, perseverance in training will not only allow you to enhance your killing skills and gain more combat achievements, but also make you healthy and stay young, right?! ”

"To !!" The soldiers, especially the soldiers of the 1st Legion, shouted.

The shout removed the embarrassment from Amintas's mind.

Next up were Epitenis and Oliver, both cheerful and lively generals, who had a handstand walk that surprised all the soldiers and made them laugh with their antics in a way that made them laugh.

Next, there was a sprint race between the commander of the 3rd Legion, Lizaru, and the captain of the mountain reconnaissance group, Izzam, the equestrian performance of the cavalry commanders, the horses, the heavy infantry confrontation between the commander of the 6th Corps, Trotilas, and the captain of the palace guard, Martius, and the mast-climbing competition between the commander of the 3rd Fleet, Midorides, and the crew......

The generals who were very prestigious and commanded the army to charge into battle were performing hard in the center of the hall at the moment, and they were not even shouting and shouting without grace, their faces were hideous and dusty, which made the soldiers feel very novel, and also gave them a certain psychological balance, which was one of the main reasons why Davers insisted on letting the generals perform hard for the soldiers on this special night.

However, the soldiers of the Roman reserve brigade and the surrendered Roman nobles, although they were surprised that the Dionian generals were able to mingle with the soldiers without putting on a show, they were not as excited as the Dionian soldiers, after all, they were not familiar with these Dionian generals and did not feel them deeply, until Sextus stood in the center of the hall.
