Douluo: The Adventures of King Skin

"But water and bad wine, get away with them as far as possible, and harm those who are sober. The Bacchus here is quite mellow."

——Gaius Valerius Catullus

The situation at the winter camp can be described in one word, chaotic!Very messy!

It was even more chaotic than when children came out of winter camp. Except for one camp, everyone ran to do their own thing. The military camp could leave and enter when they wanted. The few people who stayed to guard the gate just followed the so-called "rules." Even Pyrrhus' bodyguards took turns to be lazy when guarding the belongings of their comrades-in-arms, and only Nicesi followed him obediently.

Pyrrhus had never thought that a mere few hundred people, most of whom were generals with positions, could be so unorganized and undisciplined.

He previously thought that his control over the army had reached a very high level, whether it was prestige or system, but these things made him feel less confident.

He could only console himself by saying that some bad rules and customs could not be reversed at once.

The ancient Greeks have had winter camps for a long time, and no one can tell when they started.

Some people say that it was a habit from the Trojan War, but Pyrrhus wanted to complain, even if the Trojan War was true, why the hell did you inherit some good things from the Mycenaeans?

Greek mainland mobilized citizen soldiers to fight, and rarely delayed the autumn plowing and New Year's war.However, the mercenaries who have been fighting in the field all year round must have maintained the tradition of winter camps.

As soon as autumn arrives, many soldiers have to go home to sow seeds. The ensuing winter rains are not suitable for fighting. In addition, the soldiers have accumulated a lot of money through burning, killing and looting for a year, which can be spent in a reasonable way.

The soldiers under Pyrrhus did not allow them to plunder privately, but they were either standing soldiers with a salary, or conscripts with rich families. In short, they were not short of money. He usually had strict control over the troops, and there was no room for them. Consumption, now that we are talking about starting winter camp, it immediately becomes a wild horse, and young models are arranged in the club!

He ordered that no unrelated personnel be allowed to enter the camp, but at least this group of people did not bring in the prostitute.

At first, they went to nearby towns to have fun and caused a lot of troubles. After being punished by Pyrrhus, they left not far away and partyed directly in the fields in front of the camp, barbecued, picnicked, and drank. And then **** in broad daylight!

Is it the loss of human nature or the distortion of morality?

It is true that there is nothing left to do. This kind of indulgence is simply a devastating blow to military discipline.

But no matter how you manage it, you still have to pay attention to methods.

He asked Achilles to call in senior officers such as Scopas and Metilas. He first reprimanded them bitterly to make them understand their mistakes, and then issued an order to prepare some elegant, healthy, and wholesome meals. Entertainment show.

He went to see Cratsipolis again, who was also having a headache about military discipline.

Although Greek women do not lead a very conservative and restrictive life on weekdays, they have always been the main players in various carnivals.

A woman who became a friend of a female stepmother suddenly broke away from the shackles of family and society, and got mixed up with lawless Amazon women. Now she knows that there is such a good thing as winter camp, so what's the point?

The women's liberation movement was in full swing, and military discipline was disintegrating day by day. Crater Sypolis was also unprepared.

If the Achaeans see that she cannot control the army, they may rebel!

The two hit it off immediately and decided to hold a military party.

The generals of both armies began to organize the soldiers who were looking for fun everywhere.

Although they all complained about having to work in the winter camp, they stopped complaining when they heard that it was fun to watch.

What's more, when men and women are matched, the work is not tiring.

The winter rain is about to fall, so activities must be held indoors.

They sorted out a gently sloping land, dug drainage ditches around it, then pieced together the tent cloth, and used giant trees used for siege equipment to build supports, and built a large tent that could accommodate 2000 people.

At this time, the theater troupe and other entertainers who came from afar are basically in place, and the New Year's Eve Gala begins!

During the day, the skylight and four corners of the tent are opened to let in the sunlight, and the invited theater troupe performs various popular plays.

The rhythm of Greek drama is slow, with actors wearing masks performing on the lower stage, accompanied by a band and chorus.

Most of the more popular plays were performed in Attica dialect, which the Yankees under Pyrrhus couldn't quite understand, but half of the people sitting in the tent were women, and they were willing to show off. , even a rough guy like Metilas had a serious expression on his face.

Fortunately, there are also vulgar revues and vaudeville and song and dance performances from the East, so that the gentlemen will not have a particularly hard time during the day.

At night, the brazier is lit and a large bronze mirror is used for auxiliary lighting.

At this time, various indoor competitions were held, such as wrestling, boxing, and obstacle equestrian. During the intermission, each team was asked to take turns performing the show.

Pyrrhus also tried his best, adding various group events such as two-person tripod, big rope jumping, eagle catching chicks, etc...

However, after all, the winter camp lasted too long. It was fine the first few days, but after half a month, the soldiers began to be dissatisfied. They said that these things were either not good or too clear and watery. Gentlemen and ladies unanimously asked for something exciting!

Exciting, right?

Satisfy you!

So that night, an octagonal boxing ring was erected in the center of the tent!

In order to ensure the safety and enjoyment of the game, Pyrrhus introduced WWE rules that transcended the times!

The ground is made of wooden boards and straw mats, with thick fine sand, surrounded by a rope net as thick as a child's arm, and specially developed folding chairs and stools; fashionably dressed military men and women, all wearing masks and paint all over their bodies. Come on, let’s compete in a small boxing ring!

At first, Pyrrhus was troubled by the imbalance in the competition caused by the difference in physical strength between male and female players. However, as the battle gradually lost its bottom line, the protection worn by the male players became thicker and thicker, and the physiological advantages gradually transformed into Disadvantages...

From the most common 1V1, 2V2, to the most brutal mixed men and women four-player battle, from basic flying and back throwing to bloody big moves such as hell wheel and guillotine, as well as the winner versus the loser from mask removal, tearing All kinds of inhumane humiliation, from clothes to ****, **** and so on...

Every battle is always accompanied by the audience's excited shouts all night long!

…………

…………

With the end of the winter rainy season, the winter camp that lasted for more than two months is also coming to an end.

Although it successfully vented the energy of the soldiers and ensured the organization of the army, in the end it still cost lives.

After the entire army was informed and criticized of the dozen or so soldiers who caused the disaster, a temporary link had to be added at the end of the grand party.

-

Mass wedding officiated by Pyrrhus and Cratesypolis.

Several warriors who got involved with Amazon female warriors even came to him to plead with them, licking their faces, fearing that the woman would dispose of her husband and the baby boy she gave birth to according to "Amazon customs", which made Pyrrhus dumbfounded.

After these days of understanding, Pyrrhus determined that the so-called "Amazon tribe" under Cratsipolis was actually a matrilineal nomadic tribe on the northern grasslands, which was unremarkable from a sociological perspective.

And the "Amazon custom of killing husbands and abandoning children" that goes against the common sense of the times is obviously a painting style from the more bloody and brutal Bronze Age.

Even if it really existed hundreds of thousands of years ago, the various ethnic groups in the Scythian steppe today have a more complete and more humane moral code. How can they tolerate their neighbors to continue this evil custom to this day?

The Great Collapse at the end of the Bronze Age, although it caused the severance of many cultural heritages, was also a great wave that shattered many biased and barbaric cultures. Whether it was the Dayi merchants in the East or the Neo-Assyrians in West Asia, they were all further destroyed. Replaced by a moderate and rational new regime, it is difficult to see the behavior of hundreds of slaves being buried throughout the world island.

The relative deterioration of the environment has prompted human beings to become more united and get rid of the barbaric growth of early countries. This is the progress of civilization, even the grassland people who are regarded as the frontier of civilization are no exception.

After dealing with these impulsive men and women, it was time for Pyrrhus to return to Lamia.

But before leaving, he had one more thing to do.

**

"This is...?" Cratsipolis looked at the girl in front of her in surprise.

"This is Jason and Medea, they are a couple..." The little girl was a little nervous seeing such big people for the first time, but she still mustered up the courage to ask: "Sir, are you willing to raise them?"

She struggled to raise her right hand, which was wearing protective gear, while two stupid guys stood motionless on it.Crate Sipoli's friends were watching curiously, and the two of them were also looking around curiously with wide eyes.

Pyrrhus explained with a smile: "This is Cynthia, a student of our academy. She helps in the zoo and is responsible for taking care of the pair of owls. Cynthia, please tell Lady Cratsipolis about the situation."

Seeing Pyrrhus's signal, Cynthia continued: "They are too naughty and always want to catch small animals in other parks, but they are used to getting along with humans and cannot be released into the wild. Director Pyrrhus said you You might be willing to raise them..." After that, he added, "They are very well-behaved and won't catch and bite people casually."

When Pyrrhus was communicating with Lamia, he accidentally discovered such a small thing and thought of borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.After all, the people who provided vocational training for Zenas really did not hide their secrets and helped him a lot.

As for whether this woman wants to box in Southern Greece or does something counterintuitive, it's really none of his business.

The kind of owls Athena brings are called little owls. Legend has it that they are divine birds with prophetic abilities. In front of them are a pair of eagle owls, which are the largest type of owls. The little girl raised her arms to make them stand still. Hard work, there is a world of difference between the two.

However, in all things, too much is too much. The advantage of this pair of eagle owls is that they are great enough. They are also very majestic when they are held in triumph when hunting.

"Can I touch it?" Cratsipolis also seemed very interested, her eyes shining brightly.

These two big birds look quite cute with their heads stretched out and looking around!

"Okay," Cynthia said, "but I still recommend that you put on protective gear first. They are a bit stupid and it will hurt if they are accidentally pecked."

Pyrrhus got the leather arm guards and diligently helped Cratesipolis put them on.

You can also touch their backs, heads, and belly. They are really well-behaved. They even half-close their eyes when they are tickled. They seem to enjoy it!

"So good!" "Yes, yes!" a group of women praised enthusiastically.

A female warrior suddenly asked: "You don't need to tie them up? Aren't you afraid they will run away?"

Cynthia replied: "No, they love each other, but they can't talk, so they all thought the other would come back, so they came back too."

All the women showed expressions of realization and praised the pair of owls for being countless times better than the legendary scumbag Jason and the resentful woman Medea.

On the other hand, Cratesipolis gave Pyrrhus a meaningful look.

"Pyrrhus," she said, knowingly or unintentionally, she used a more intimate title, "What are your plans next?"

"Well, I have to leave soon. On the one hand, I have to bring the troops back to Lamia, and I have a lot of official matters to deal with after being out for so long."

Cratessipolis just said "Oh" after hearing this.

Then the two fell silent again.

"But..." "After that..."

The two suddenly spoke at the same time.

"You should speak first." Cratsipolis said with a smile.

Pyrrhus suddenly became nervous. This atmosphere was not right.

"However, Cynthia will stay here to help you get familiar with them." Pyrrhus scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "Besides, Cynthia is the first batch of graduates of our academy, and her scores in rhetoric and geometry are very good. Yes, if you are satisfied with her, you can also consider hiring her...she can handle general paperwork."

"That's it...I'll think about it." There seemed to be no emotion in his voice.

"What did you want to say just now?"

"Demetrius will hold a council in Corinth later. Will you be there?"

"Of course I'll be there."

"Then let's meet then."

"sure……"
