v7 Chapter 48： East of Dionia (2)

After other people tried to go to Tarantum, the people of Odrum felt the third benefit of joining Dionya.

However, the benefits of Dionynia to Odrum are continuous, and NikoMarcus announced that he would build a road to Odrum and connect Udaye.

Road repairing, this is what the Odrum people have always dreamed of, but can it be done? !

When the Odrum people were dubious, the officials of the Dionysian road department had begun to poke the mountains outside the city of Odrum with the kingdom public and the prisoners in the war.

Just as the people of Odrum were pleasantly surprised to see the smooth avenues stretch along the rugged terrain and westward, NikoMarcus once again announced that it would expand the port and take advantage of Odrum’s unique geographical advantages. Odrum's maritime trade.

This time, the Odrum did not stand and watch the excitement, but actively joined the team in the construction port.

The city of Odrum, which has been quiet for a hundred years, has undergone tremendous changes in just two or three years. The Odrums are no longer the fishermen who were previously nicknamed “the remote fishing village” by other Mesapeid states. Rum has become a famous port town in eastern Dionia.

Therefore, when the Chief Executive of NikoMarcus was full and left, the people in the city had completely forgotten the anger and embarrassment of him when he first arrived, but arranged a long team to send him, and the city council unanimously passed. : Tree the statue of Niko Marcus in the town square, let the people of Odrum remember his name and everything he did for Odrum! ......

Khorsopskov listened, his face gradually became dignified. From the driver's mouth, he felt the identity of the Odrum people against the Kingdom of Dionia, Odrum, and other plums. Is this the same in the towns of Sapi and Pucci? !

The power of the Kingdom of Dionia has put Sparta under pressure, and the powerful assimilation of the indigenous people of Dionia has made the guest Thorpe feel fearful. He has taken in from Sparta. The use of the Mesapi and Pucciti nobles who escaped in this area was doubtful and uneasy.

The coachman who was greeted by the guest Sophos talked about how he likes football. He also said that Thorpes had a good luck. If it wasn’t for the two days, Turui suspended the football finals, so that he could not Without returning from Turui temporarily, it was impossible for Curry Thorpe to sit in his carriage.

In addition to the beginning of the road is not very good, the other sections are flat and wide, the carriage gallops all the way, has not arrived outside the city of Udine at noon.

The driver must stop here and feed the horses to restore the strength.

You can also go to eat something and fill your stomach.

Entering the city of Udine, and discovering three steps and one post in the city, five steps and one whistle, there are all armed soldiers patrolling everywhere.

The spirit of the guest Sophos was revamped, and it was thought that the Udines were in a riot, because it was rumored that Udine had repeatedly launched riots in previous years. However, after listening to the explanation of the driver, I realized that this is not the case.

It turned out that the Udine team was unexpectedly eliminated in the first round of the Dionia football finals this time, and was defeated by the weak Uzuntum.

The news was sent back to Udine, and the people regarded it as a shameful shame. They not only angered and insulted the players, but also squadrons went to the restaurants to drink alcohol. When they got drunk, they used to drink alcohol in the city. Several incidents of wounding. The Udaye patrol station had to closely monitor the city to prevent further injuries.

The coachman couldn’t explain to the customer Sophos why the Udaye would care so much about the win or loss of a match. He just said: Udaye’s team always does this in the Mesapi area, not only the action is rough, Frequent fouls, not to accept the judgment of the referee, so other Mesapi town teams now do not like to compete with Udine.

In fact, the reason why the Udines valued the rugby match was because, as the center of the era of the Mesapi kingdom, the largest city-state of the Mesapi League, Udine was rebellious after being occupied by the Dionyrians. The most fierce one, and then Udine’s chief executive, Milon, severely suppressed it. In the worst case, Milon once asked the army to enter the city. During the day, anyone must stay at home and not allowed to go to the streets. The state lasted for a year before it gradually began to accept the rule of Dionia.

As a result, the Udines came into contact with the outside world, only to find that the surrounding Mesapi towns obeyed the rule of Dionia early, and also gained the benefits of the kingdom early, and began to develop by maritime trade. The hat to get rid of poverty has gradually become richer, and Udaye, which is inland, once fertile and vast, has a large population, and dominates the Mesapi city state, has become less important.

In the football finals of the following year, the Udine players who participated in the competition for the first time won the victory after defeat and unwillingness to win one after another, and finally entered the quarterfinals and The Lie team met and the two sides had a fierce competition.

In the game, three of Udaye were injured and one was sent off. Turui was seriously injured and the Turui team won by one point. The Dionysian rugby league also modified some rules for this game and slammed the game foul.

The Udine players returned home in a downcast manner, but they were warmly welcomed by the people. They praised the **** nature of the Mesapi people and let the Diaonians know the power of the Udine. Since then, the Udines have become obsessed with rugby, cast their feelings on it, and regard it as a tool to show the unyielding spirit of the Udine to the Dionysian Senate. Therefore, this time the Udine team overturned the ship in the gutters in the finals and was eliminated in the first round, which greatly stimulated the Udine.

Guest Thorpeth did not understand these deep-seated reasons, but he felt that the Udines valued the football invented by the Dionynes, indicating that they had already agreed with the rule of Dionia, which made him somewhat depressed.

Before coming, Agassiert gave him a chance to learn about the situation of the Pucciti and Mesapi people under the rule of Dionia, so he chose to take this route instead of going directly to the boat. Turui. But from what he is now observing, as time goes on, Diaonia’s rule in Mesapi will only become more and more stable.

Out of Udine, the carriage continued to gallop to the northwest.

A few hours later, they passed through Manduria, the former fortress that used to be a Mesapi attack on Tarantum. Now it is the place where the ninth legion of the Republic of Denia is stationed. After all, it is where Not conducive to farming, but also not conducive to grazing. But the real battalion of the Ninth Legion was built on a plain not far from the north of Udine, and it was built there because it is right in the center of the Mesapi area, which facilitates the convening of citizenship training in the towns of Mesapi. And mobilization, but also the monitoring and deterrence of the most restless Udine city, just because it is not on the side of the road, so you can not see.

By the time of dusk, Chris Thorpe arrived in the city of Tarantum.

Kerry Thorpes has been to Tarantum several times. In his impression, this sub-state, which was once Sparta, did not inherit the bravery of the Spartans, but the number of military trainings for citizens each year. And quite a few, the city-state people still have a state of military equipment, but this time he went to the city to surprise him. Not only did the soldiers not patrol the guards on the city gate, but the guards at the gates of the city were also inconsistent, and the investigation was not strict. Hand is allowed to enter.

Christophers thought about it and soon understood: Because Tarantum has become the free city of the Kingdom of Dionia, and its mortal enemy Mesapi is also conquered by Dionia, it has There is no danger, and now in the heart of Dionya, even the city-state responsibilities of the defense of the territory have allowed Dionia to undertake the past, and naturally the equipment is slack.

But the city of Tarantum is very lively, even if it is already dusk, the streets are still busy and crowded. From the city to the port, the shops, restaurants, and brothels on both sides of the road are row upon row, and the travelers are lingering here. As a transportation and trade hub in eastern Dionia, Tarantum is more prosperous than before.

It’s just that Sorpes has repeatedly seen the young citizens of Tarantum’s gangs coming in and out of restaurants and brothels, drunk on the streets sometimes talking about Tarantum In the past, "greatness" vented dissatisfaction with Dionia, and even despised Sparta's "weakness"...

There was a hint of helplessness on the face of the guest, and he understood that the Tarantum had resentment about "Sparta gave up on them and eventually signed an alliance agreement with Dioria." However, Chris Sophos did not care about this. Instead, he regretted that, according to the current living conditions of the Tarantum people, these citizens are only moving their mouths. I am afraid that even if they use shield spears, they will not. It is difficult to resist the rule of Dioria.

Finally, Chris Thorpe came to the port.

At Sparta, Kerry Thorpe understood that there is a special Haidu terminal in the port of Tarantum. The cargo ship is full of cargo and guests, starting from these piers in a few hours. You can reach other seaside cities in the Gulf of Taranto, of course the main destination is Turui.

Kerry Thorpe quickly boarded a passenger ship that was directly connected to Turui.

After the passenger ship sailed out of the harbor and sailed into the Gulf of Taranto, the sights of the guest's Sophos were full of countless ships, which were covered with this calm sea. Even now the sunset has fallen into the mountains, only the afterglow Shining on the horizon, the sea is still very lively.
