- "Your Highness"
Since the general¡¯s camp was set up on Achilles¡¯ private land, Zomokos has been responsible for the garrison here. Every day, he must personally arrange soldier patrols and monitor all slaves.
"Zomokos, has anything happened in the military camp recently?" Achilles asked with a smile on his face as he looked at the tall demigod in armor. []
Zomokos grinned, laughed heartily, and responded: "The situation in the military camp is very good recently, and the soldiers are training very hard. There are already 900 soldiers in the military camp now, and it only takes two more days. , it will break through one thousand.¡±
Having said this, he paused for a moment and said, "Your Highness, although we have recruited these soldiers, the weapons they bring are a bit messy."
Achilles smiled and said: "As for the weapons and equipment of the soldiers, I have already considered it before. The blacksmith shop will then start to make all the weapons and equipment. I believe it won't take long for our soldiers to be equipped with them." Brand new sharp weapons and strong armor shields.¡±
After receiving Achilles's reply, Zomokos finally felt relieved. For this young king, as long as he said it, he would definitely be able to do it.
Then Achilles asked: "If you need anything else, please tell me so that I can have the people below prepare it for you."
Zomokos thought for a moment and responded: "As long as we have spearmen, sharp blades, armor, shields, bows and arrows, there is nothing else missing."
Achilles nodded, and then seemed to think of something again, and asked Zomokos: "How many well-meaning soldiers on horseback have you recruited?"
If Achilles hadn't mentioned this, Zomokos would have almost forgotten it. He patted his forehead in annoyance and said apologetically: "Don't blame me, Your Highness. You have been busy recruiting and training soldiers these days. I forgot to tell you about this. So far, we have recruited more than two hundred soldiers with good intentions on horseback. We have started special training for these soldiers. "
Now Achilles only has a total of two hundred horses on hand. Among them, the best one hundred horses are gifts from the gods, and the other hundred horses, fifty of which are from his old father Peleus. It was obtained there, and the other fifty horses were given by nobles.
In the near future, Thessaly will usher in the invasion of barbaric Macedonia, and Macedonian cavalry will inevitably appear, so Achilles began to form his own cavalry team early in the morning.
Unlike the large-scale cavalry charge duels of later generations, at this time, even those nomadic barbaric tribes had limited war horses on hand.
The most important thing is that the population of these barbaric tribes is not too large. Even the larger tribes do not have tens of thousands of people.
As for Thessaly¡¯s mortal enemy, the barbaric Macedonian tribe, if this barbaric and bloodthirsty tribe had not only had eight or nine thousand people, Thessaly would have forgotten its country long ago under its invasion.
In an era when stirrups had not yet appeared, the battles fought by cavalry were still very low. Only those cavalry with extremely experienced riding skills could fight on high-speed horses without stirrups.
Especially when shooting on horseback, ordinary cavalry can't find the crosshair at all. If you shoot ten arrows, you will be lucky if two of them hit the target.
Therefore, in this era, the greatest role of the cavalry is to use its high-speed movement to detect the enemy's situation and transmit orders. The protagonists on the battlefield are the infantrymen armed with sharp spears.
But when stirrups appeared, the cavalry could use the stirrups to stabilize their bodies and carry out accurate riding shooting and fighting on high-speed horses.
It is such a simple and compact gadget that allows the cavalry to become the overlord on the battlefield and the terminator of the infantry.
In Achilles's blacksmith shop, the craftsmen are already preparing to make stirrups. I believe that soon, a cavalry unit with terrifying combat effectiveness will fight for him in all directions.
The only regret that Achilles feels now is that the number of war horses in his hands is too small. Even with a huge amount of gold, it is difficult to buy high-quality war horses.
After walking around on his own land, he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the land that had been reclaimed and leveled into pieces of farmland.
Although this piece of land is only more than a thousand feet, which is still far from the requirement of cultivating 20,000 feet of cultivated land proposed by the goddess of agriculture, with these farmlands, it will solve his food needs for recruiting soldiers and slaves. .
And as we head towards the westWhen forests are cut down, more and more land will become vacant, and then more and more land will belong to him.
In the world that Achilles knew well, the area of ??Thessaly was originally very vast, but when he traveled to this mythical world, the area of ??both the Aegean Sea and Greece had expanded several times, and Thessaly The area of ????Lee has also expanded several times accordingly.
According to Sophia, Thessaly in his world has a total area of ??nearly 10 million square feet, which is almost equivalent to a city in China.
Although the country is vast, there are no rivers in many places, and ferocious beasts are infested. Without a larger city-state as a foundation, it is difficult to cultivate.
Therefore, the Thessalians¡¯ activities have always been in the area near the southern bank of the Pinho River. As for the north bank of the river and places farther away from the river, there are almost no traces of Thessalians¡¯ activities.
It is precisely for this reason that the land near Larissa City is extremely tight. If you want to obtain land, you must cut down trees and obtain it from the jungle.
¡¡
After leaving this piece of private land that belonged to him, he returned to the city of Larissa with his accompanying officials and a few quick-thinking teenagers.
When he returned to his residence, the attendants from his father's palace had been waiting for him for a long time. His elderly father wanted to go to the palace by himself. It seemed that he had important matters to discuss with him.
Without pausing, he hurriedly left his residence with a few officials and headed towards his father's palace.
His residence was only one street away from the palace of his father Peleus. When the attendants guarding the palace gate saw his arrival, they all saluted.
After passing through the corridor filled with sunlight, we entered the palace. In the hall with the pool, the old Peleus was talking to an old man.
When he saw the old man chatting happily with his father, Achilles was obviously stunned for a moment. The old man in front of him was not, to be precise, a pure human being.
He has a human head, human arms and chest, but from the chest down, he has most of the horse's body and four strong horse legs.
When he saw this centaur and half-horse old man, a legendary existence flashed in his mind, a centaur warrior who shot arrows with good intentions.
The old man in front of him is obviously a centaur, a creature that runs fast and has strong martial arts skills. Although his appearance is strange and terrifying, he is gentle and kind-hearted and never harms humans.
And in the main hall, in addition to his old father and the old centaur, there was also a handsome young man who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old.
This is a boy who is completely different from ordinary children. He has charming long golden hair, a pair of always shining eyes, and a confident smile on his handsome face.
"My child, you are here." Seeing Achilles approaching from outside the palace, Peleus on the throne waved to him with a kind smile.
Achilles walked forward slowly, and the old centaur and the young man who were talking to his father turned around and looked at him.
"Father" He walked slowly to his father, bowed slightly, and saluted him.
The old man smiled and nodded, held his hand, looked at the old centaur, and introduced: "My child, this is the wise centaur king Chiron."
When he heard the name he said, Achilles was stunned for a moment, and his eyes changed when he looked at the centaur.
In Greek mythology, Geron is an outstanding one among the horse people. He is omnipotent and omniscient in playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, bows, arrows, swords and guns, fist fighting and sumo wrestling. He is omnipotent and omniscient in the world. Gerong had so many abilities, so he lived in seclusion in Piliwen Shandong and taught unparalleled martial arts.
Any of his students, even if they only learn one skill, can dominate the world. Jason, Heracles, Orpheus, and even almost all the heroes in ancient Greek mythology came from his disciples. Geron can be said to be the ancestor of Greek heroes, and people collectively call his disciples "the heroes of Piliwen".
In a record about Hercules that Achilles knew, it was written that one day, Hercules, a student of Roron, was fighting with several centaurs. Run to the cave.
Hercules shot an arrow from behind. Just as Geron walked out of the hole, the sharp arrow nailed his knee. Hercules hurriedly ran over to help the teacher up, but his arrow was dipped in the blood of the Hydra, and there was no cure for it. The unparalleled famous teacher died in his most beloved school.?In hand!
Heracles' pitiful cries were heard by Zeus. He also sympathized with the misfortune of the master and his disciples, so he gave Geron a place in the heaven so that future generations would always remember this eternal teacher. This is the starry sky on the summer night. Sagittarius.
But in another record about Achilles, Geron also appears. According to records, Achilles studied medicine, bow, arrow, sword, music, chess, calligraphy and painting under the tutelage of Roron when he was very young.
When Achilles was born, Hercules had already left the world, and his soul became Hercules under the guidance of Zeus.
And if the record about Heracles accidentally killing his teacher had actually happened, then it would be impossible to explain how Geron taught Achilles.
Whether or not Geron died under the poisonous arrows of his student Heracles has always been a mystery that has puzzled everyone.
When he saw this legendary centaur with his own eyes, Achilles was certain that the rumors about Hercules accidentally killing his teacher were not true.
Looking at this old man with many talents, Achilles felt a burst of respect in his heart. The ancestor of all Greek heroes, this is a being that anyone can respect.
"Teacher of all Greek demigods, Chiron, the wise King of Centaur, please accept my most sincere praise." He bowed down again to express his respect for this old man.
The old Centaur King Geron, the founder of the Greek demigods, with a charitable smile, stretched out his strong arms to help Achilles up.
He said with that wise voice: "Legendary Thessalian demigod, Achilles, before coming here, I have heard about your legendary deeds and your courage to fight against the powerful dragons for your companions. Your courage and your wisdom amaze me.¡±
Hearing the series of praises uttered by the old man, Achilles was stunned for a moment, but then he realized that it had been more than a month since he left Milos Island.
In this more than a month, I am afraid that all the demigods who went to sea with him to find Pandora's Box have returned to their own kingdoms.
Everything that happened during the mission to find Pandora's Box has obviously spread throughout the city-states through the mouths of those young demigods.
Greece in this era highly advocates heroism. They will publicize every extraordinary deed performed by demigods, so that everyone can know their deeds and praise them.
As for Achilles, in that mission, whether it was the strength he showed or the courage to fight the dragon with his life after the death of his partner, he did not need to publicize it himself, it would be through the mouths of those young demigods , spread among various city-states.
After all, people in this era have relatively upright thoughts. Even if Achilles eclipses all the demigods, they will still spread his deeds without any concealment.
Achilles didn't feel anything about the old man's praise, but Peleus, who was sitting on the throne, was overjoyed, with a deep smile on his wrinkled face.
Although Achilles also knew that this old man was extraordinary, he was not very clear about his influence in the entire human world, nor did he know what his exaggeration meant.
But Peleus, who belonged to the same era as Heracles and Jason and studied under Yu Roron, knew that his teacher would rarely praise a young man so kindly.
In his memory, the only demigod who has been praised by his teacher for hundreds of years is Hercules, and his talent and the legendary deeds he has done are obvious to all.
The teacher who is stingy with words of praise now praises Achilles enthusiastically. This can only show that Achilles's performance in the previous mission was too outstanding.
He wanted to know what happened at that time and what legendary deeds his son had done to earn such praise from the teacher.
