Douluo: The Adventures of King Skin

"Enjoy your time, no matter who gave it to you, no matter how long it lasts."

——"Tian Yuan"

More than 30 years ago in Chaeronea, the allied forces of Thebes and Athens were defeated in a battle by King Philip the Great and Artemis. The victors made an alliance with the Greek city-states in Corinth, and Philip II was promoted as the leader of the Greek world. Commander (strategos).

From then on, the Greek city-states lost their backbone and were willing to be the younger brothers of the Macedonians within the framework of the Corinthian League. Later, they spent a lot of money and people in Alexander's unprecedented expedition.

As a result, that little boy Alexander didn't appreciate the efforts of the city-states at all. Instead, he interfered violently in the internal affairs of the Greek city-states, asking for money, troops, and even the exile decree... everyone was miserable.

Most importantly, he would rather be closer to the Persians!

Painful!

——The dream of "second-class hope" was shattered to pieces.

18 years ago, when the news of the death of Emperor Athena came, the Greek city-states who had been aggrieved for a long time immediately began to make trouble. The Athenians took the lead in connecting with each other. Even the Thessaly League and the Aetolian League, which were originally on the side of Macedonia, also defected. , the Lamian War broke out that year, which once defeated the old regent Antipater into disgrace.

But the result of the war was that the pride of the Greeks was completely crushed - it turned out that it was not that the enemy was too greedy, but that we were really not good enough...

In the following ten years, Cassander and Polyperchon fought in the north and south of Greece. The Greek city-states suffered miserably in the middle, and Antigonus and his sons also fanned the flames. At one time, they "expressed deep regret" and at another, they "called out." "Restrain" and "firmly support the just cause of the Greek people"...

In short, it makes the Greek people very uncomfortable and uncomfortable...

Then three years ago, Antigonus sent his son Demetrius to occupy Athens, which heralded the successors' tug of war in mainland Greece as it entered a fierce stage. Athens was still in the midst of a war against Cassander, and As for not sending athletes to participate in the Olympics...

Then today, at the awards ceremony of the 304th Olympic Games in 119 BC, a barbarian king of Epirus won the armed race.

The blood of a hero is certainly glorious, but the status of the commander of Epirus is not something that can be enjoyed in Greece today.

They did not like the autocratic kingdom, especially Macedonia, and Epirus, in their eyes, was a sympathizing accomplice of the Macedonians.

Now that the identity of the winner was revealed, a deathly silence fell under the altar.

…………

…………

Pyrrhus was well aware of the complex emotions of the Greeks.

But he doesn't care.

Are the people of Epirus not worthy of winning?

Haha, is it possible that the champion is matched?

To think that he traveled thousands of miles to come here to participate in the competition, not to mention the preparations he made to achieve results, and the hard training day and night, even though he was born with supernatural powers, he suffered a lot...

Of course there is a deliberate intention in this way, but it is definitely not to please the Greeks!

It is true that this is the Hellenistic era, but did your Greek opinions matter during the Hellenistic era?

Sorry, it's not even in the top three in Pyrrhus's mind.

**

The Greeks in the audience began to whisper.

"Isn't that right? Is Epirus considered Greece? I've never heard of it!"

"Epirus is just a Macedonian dog. Does a dog-like thing deserve to be called Greece?"

"No way, right? Some people actually think that Epirus is Greece?"

"There is a saying, handing over the country to such a young child, you are really a barbarian... Haha!"

"The barbarian tyrant of the barbarian country! It's the end of the month..."

Oh!The autocratic monarch in an autocratic country is simply a double autocrat!

——Many people who just didn't know the truth and rushed to take advantage of him as "the beloved of God" are now ready to wash their hands!

Just as the whispers became louder and louder, it reached the point where there was no scruple at all.

Then finally some people noticed Mr. Pi’s unfocused, arrogant eyes - Where are you looking? ! ——Then they got angry!Then the sentence "RNMTQ" came to my lips!

Then finally there was a righteous shout:

"Pyrrhus, the tyrant who steals the throne!"

?

Who is this?

What accent is this?

Regardless, the crowd's attention was drawn to it.

**

Pyrrhus was a little helpless.

The virgin was obviously frightened by the noise below.Originally, I just had to come over and put the crown on him according to the predetermined procedures, but in the end, I kept swaying there.

Pyrrhus remained calm and held out two fingers to the Virgin behind his back.

And ticked the box.

After seeing this, the virgin made a gesture of "I am about to take action but I am still a little hesitant".

Still not moving!

Pyrrhus' face darkened.Then he gritted his teeth and stretched out three fingers again.

The virgin was finally satisfied. A pious yet elegant smile appeared on her face, and she turned around and waved to the aide in the audience.

How greedy!Can you priests be so greedy?

King Pi couldn't bear to roll his eyes too obviously.

Then I heard someone in the audience shouting:

"The throne-stealer - the tyrant Pyrrhus!"

Ok?

Does this sound sound familiar?

At this time, everyone in the audience was looking for the source of the sound.

I saw the crowd shouting and getting out of the way, revealing a fat man in the middle wearing a blue and white striped Dorian Kitton——

Megacalus, scribe of Molossia.

Pyrrhus felt a thump in his heart and had a rather bad premonition.

Damn you fat man, didn’t anyone tell you that these stripes make you look fat?Pyrrhus got angry and couldn't help but cursed secretly.

Although he had a rough guess about his purpose, Pyrrhus still gave a calm and elegant smile - even if he was naked -

"You look a lot like my scribe, but he should be in Epirus now. I understand, are you the one who stole his clothes to watch the sports meeting?"

"I am your secretary! I..." Hearing a burst of "Oh" in his ears, the fat secretary looked around and saw that the Greek people around him had expressions like "I'm sorry for your intelligence."

Greece, led by the Athenians, was keen on speeches and debates. The entire Attica Peninsula was not only rich in orators and lawyers, but also comic dramas were also very popular.Therefore, the crowd reacted quickly to Pyrrhus' little tease of the clerk.

Then everyone burst into laughter: the air above and below the stage was filled with joy.

Why should I pick up on his words?Megakalus couldn't help but regret.

Being laughed at by so many people made him feel guilty for a moment. He forced himself to calm down and continued:

"Pyrrhus! You thief! Your good days are over!"

The young man on the stage just spread his hands:

"I'm sorry to hear the sad news you delivered. But you just admitted that you are my clerk, and then you accused me of being a thief. Are you the one who collects stolen goods?"

This kind of seizing on loopholes and raking them out is also a classic old routine, so everyone burst into laughter: the air on and off the stage was filled with joy.

Not everyone can withstand such humiliation under the gaze of thousands of people. Fatty Megacharus felt anger boiling in his belly, and his face turned the color of pig liver. He was afraid that Pyrrhus would do it again. What the heck, shouted at the top of his lungs:

"No nonsense, Pyrrhus, the throne-stealer, you have been deposed by the decision of the Molossian Grand Council!!!"

He spoke these words as fast as he could in his life, and then the clerk shouted in a hoarse voice with bulging veins: "Quick! Do it!!! Now!!!!"

Then Pyrrhus saw the smiles of the audience freeze instantly, and saw their eyes turning towards him.

Then there was another shout from behind, close to the back of the head:

"The tyrant is dead!"
