MTL - Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece-v9 Chapter 217 Archery competition

After a while, after the three arrows were shot, the audience became active again, speculating enthusiastically about the outcome.

Soon, the target reporters came to the players and the audience with two circular planks, and the referee's voice also sounded again: "26:26, the two sides are tied-another extra round!"

After watching the arrows on the target and confirming that the referee’s decision was correct, the audience boiled: "The game was so exciting! The two players were of equal skill, and it was difficult to decide the winner for a while, which caused the game to be prolonged and the ticket price was absolutely worth it!"

Mecca Kiddes looked at Stasipus again, and Stasipus smiled, which aroused Mecca Kiddes's competitiveness.

At the beginning of another round of competition, the audience became more silent, and everyone's eyes were on the two players.

But the goddess of fate joked again, and the two players once again tied, but the score was lower: 22:22.

The audience was like boiling water that had just been boiled, and it was extremely lively, especially those Dionian audiences who bought "Tino’s Blessings" were extremely nervous, and they were eagerly looking forward to the meeting of their chosen players. Win.

The referee and the staff gathered together, discussing something solemnly.

Only two players sat quietly on the wooden chairs, closing their eyes and resting in order to recover some physical strength.

The referee walked up to the two players and said loudly: "Considering that the two players have competed for 5 rounds and shot 15 arrows, they are physically exhausted. Therefore, the referee team decided after discussion and decided with one arrow! "

Indeed, in a normal battle, an archer shoots 6 arrows in a row, which will cause sore arms and difficulty in pulling the strings. Although the players can rest and recover continuously in the archery competition, the competition lasted almost 3 hours, but 15 arrows It also almost exhausted the physical strength of the two players, causing their shooting percentage to gradually decline.

"What if they draw a tie again with the next arrow?!" Many audience members asked loudly.

The referee answered without hesitation: "Then shoot another arrow until the outcome is decided!"

There was a commotion in the audience.

Mecca Kiddes stood up expressionlessly after sitting for a while, and struck the bow, but when he was pulling the string, he clearly felt the pain from his arm. He gritted his teeth and forced the bowstring to his ear. At that moment, the left hand holding the bow was trembling slightly, and it was impossible to stay for a long time as at the beginning, and let the string down after a little aim.

As soon as the arrow was shot out, he didn't feel very good, and he cried inwardly: Bad!

At this time, he saw that the opponent's arrow was shot quickly, and the experienced he saw the strength and direction of the arrow, and his heart was suddenly determined.

Sure enough, when the target reporter brought the board closer, the audience was in an uproar.

The arrow shot by McGades was inserted obliquely at the bottom of the circular plank, and it was as good as the target. And there was nothing on the plank that Stasipus shot, he missed the target!

There was an uproar in the audience.

McGaidz looked at Stasipus, but his expression was calm.

At this time, the referee walked up to the contestants and said loudly: "According to the results of the game, I announced in the name of the gods that McGill Kiddes won the championship of the Dionian Games archery competition!" Gajides raised his hand high.

There was a sudden burst of enthusiastic cheers from the audience, and of course there was also a lot of sighs. And Stasipus also smiled and applauded with grace.

Next was the awards ceremony. The staff led McGades to the center of the front of the auditorium. Under the attention of thousands of spectators, the referee solemnly brought a corolla woven from poplar branches and handed it to He has a small cloth bag woven with gold threads. In the cloth bag are 20 gold coins engraved with the words Dionian Games, and the most exciting moment for the Cretan audience has arrived: two staff members spread out the city state of Crete The flag was handed to the champion McGill Kiddes. He held this flag aloft like other champions in the previous competitions, slowly circling the field, accepting the cheers from the audience from all over the Mediterranean.

The officials of the Cretan athletes delegation were all in the audience, and they were all very excited at this time. Judging from the situation in the first few days of the tournament, the Dionian Games have strong players, and the competition is very fierce, especially in the individual archery promotion competition a few days ago, except for the other Cretan players except McGaidz. They were all eliminated, and they were disappointed to find that even in the most confident archery project in Crete, they did not have the confidence to win the championship! However, today, Mecca Kiddes finally defended the reputation of Crete's rich archers, how can we not surprise them!

So after McGade Kiddes went off the field, they immediately greeted him, and while praising him loudly, they were also concerned.

Mecca Kiddes, who was a civilian, was surrounded by these noble officials of Crete, feeling a little at a loss.

At this time, a voice rang in his ear: "Congratulations, champion McGades!"

McGades turned his head and saw the opponent named Stasipus smiling and standing behind him.

This made him suddenly feel a little ashamed, and said apologetically: "I just took advantage of my physical strength and luckily won you."

Stasipus looked at him and said seriously: "There are very few people I have ever seen to have such excellent shooting skills at your age!"

Stasipus’ words were far more exciting than the compliments of the Cretan officials, but then he heard Stasipus say: "Are you interested in joining us Dionia? A brilliant like you The shooter is what the Dionian army badly needs!"

McGades was stunned.

Before he could answer, the head of the Crete delegation immediately retorted loudly: "Mecca Kiddes is a citizen of Heraklion! It is the glory of our Crete! He will only stay in Crete. , Will never join Dionia!"

"Oh?" Stasipus glanced at him and asked with a sneer: "Will he get a lot of land in Crete? He can enter the council of the city like you, hold important positions, discuss and make decisions. Any resolutions? McGades, I have read your information. You are a civilian. Even if you are a champion, there is no chance of getting ahead in Crete where nobles are in power, but as long as you come to Dionia, you can rely on your Talent, land, wealth, and status can all be acquired—"

"Don't lie! You think I don't know. It's not that easy to become a Dionian citizen. It is said that you have to live here for more than 10 years before you can get it!" Siriteos reminded Mecca loudly from behind Kidders.

Stasipus took a look at him, and still said seriously to McGidders: "That is a decree made by the kingdom for ordinary refugees, and for talented people like you, the Ministry of Military Affairs will definitely pay more attention to your majesty. Applying, although it is impossible to make you a Dionian citizen right away, it can shorten the number of years you become a citizen. As long as you apply, you will soon be called into the military camp by the Ministry of Military Affairs. After a period of training He should soon become a squad leader or company captain in the light infantry brigade of the Dionian Reserve Corps. After two or three years of service, he can become a Dionian citizen and may also be converted into a team in the official legion. Officer, enjoy the respect of the people...

As the former light infantry captain of the First Army of Dionia, I'm telling the truth. Go back and think about it. If you want, you can come to the military department of Turrii to find me. I serve as a military training officer there, and I can take you directly to the Secretary of the Military Olives. "

After Stasipus finished speaking, he patted McGades on the shoulder encouragingly, then turned and left.

Perhaps it was terms such as "The First Army of Dionia, the Turrii Military Ministry" and other terms that frightened the head of the Crete delegation. He did not dare to interrupt his speech until Stasipus After walking away, he waved his fist and shouted: "I want to protest to the Dionian Games! You are..."

Mecca Kiddes had never considered this issue, but when Stasipus said that, his mind was a mess.

Siriteos was very envious of him. He did not expect that he tried his best to attract attention on the field these days, but his beautiful dream could not be achieved. And this poor civilian who only knows training every day Obtained the approval of the Dionian officer.

Seeing that the officials of the delegation surrounded McGades, they painstakingly persuaded him "Don't listen to Stasipus's bewitching, he is now the hero of Crete, and the Cretan city-state will never treat him badly." With such words, Siriteos curled his lips unconsciously.

McGades and his party went out of the stadium and returned to the station. Because he was wearing a laurel crown and wearing a flag, the standard dress of the Dionian Games champion immediately attracted the attention of the people along the way, and they voted for him. In a respectful tribute, UU read www.uukanshu.com and actively inquired about his winning deeds, and also actively gave way to them.

Cheers continued along the way, and countless envious eyes gathered on him.

But McGades seemed to have something to do, and he didn't want to enjoy such glory.

After arriving at the Athlete’s Hotel, the officials of the delegation and McGades separated, Siriteos immediately leaned to his side and whispered: "Hi, McGeds, for the Dionian army What do you think about what the official said?"

Mecca Kiddes, who was calm and calm on the court, seemed hesitant at the moment: "I...I haven't thought about it yet..."

"What are you thinking about! What a great opportunity, if you miss it, there will be no more!" Siriteos looked angrily: "Think about everything we have enjoyed since we arrived here. This is simply the athletes. Elysee Paradise! Think about this city again. The prosperity of Turíy and the wealth of Dionian citizens far surpassed that of Athens, where I have been. Compared with this, Heraklion in Crete is simply A small remote village! If I were you, I would immediately go to the military department in Turei, find the officer, and beg him to help join Dionia!"
