Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Since becoming the king of Thessaly, Achilles has also learned about all domestic affairs, as well as some secrets hidden in the dark.

    During these years, because his father Peleus was old, he no longer intervened in many affairs in the kingdom, so that the nobles occupied part of the power that belonged to the king.

    Now, although the old king has abdicated and the new king has ascended the throne, these nobles, adhering to the principle of never spitting out what they eat, still hold on to this part of the power that belongs to the king.  []

    Today¡¯s Achilles, to put it bluntly, is similar to the kings of later generations of constitutional monarchy countries. Apart from representing the image of the kingdom, he has no other opportunities for power.

    If it were not for the support of hard-line demigods and heroes such as Zomokos, I am afraid that he would be a very bitter king.

    He was not in a hurry to take back the part of his own power that had been usurped by the nobles. Political power came from the barrel of a gun. As long as he seized the military power of the kingdom and established an army that was completely obedient to him, those nobles would one day  Even with great ability, one cannot make waves.

    At this time, just north of the city of Larissa, in the enclosed manor, the energetic military camp was still expanding.

    While those nobles were enjoying delicious food, tasting delicious wine, and swaying over beautiful women in their luxurious mansions, the soldiers in Achilles' hands were quietly  increasing.

    The thousand sets of armor, a thousand spearmen, and a thousand shields presented by Hermes, the god of craftsmen, have been equipped on the soldiers one after another.

    Although these weapons and equipment presented by the God of Craftsmen are all made of mortal copper ore, the forging techniques used are far beyond what those craftsmen in the mortal world can match, and are naturally more sophisticated than the weapons and equipment of soldiers in the mortal world.  many.

    ?????????????? The soldiers recruited by Zomokos already have a strong sense of force. They only need a little training to become real soldiers. When equipped with the most sophisticated weapons, their combat effectiveness can be said to soar.

    Among the young men Achilles brought back, those he left with him have also been sent to the military camp to teach the soldiers how to use the ballistae.

    In this era of cold weapons, ballistas, far more lethal weapons, have great destructive power against soldiers wearing thin armor, and even have great destructive power against those city walls that are not too strong.

    The lethality produced by the volleys of dozens of ballistas was enough to easily destroy the enemy's fighting spirit and cause them to completely collapse.

    Because of this batch of sophisticated weapons and equipment, Achilles changed his original plan, and the craftsmen in the blacksmith shop began to work hard to make small devices such as stirrups, arrowheads, and breastplates.

    Once the stirrups are equipped on the warhorse, this elite team of three hundred cavalry will become a trump card in Achilles' hand.

    If coupled with dozens of powerful tanks, this team will become a nightmare for all enemies when it appears on the battlefield.

    Although the palace left by Peleus has been repaired several times, many places have shown signs of dilapidation because the materials used in its original construction were relatively rough.

    Because he had lived in his mother¡¯s temple for a long time, when Achilles moved into this palace, he frowned somewhat at the signs of dilapidation.

    But he also understands that Thessaly is very poor now, and he doesn¡¯t have the spare money or people to rebuild the palace.

    When there was no one around, he could only indulge in lust there alone. When Thessaly became strong, he had to build two magnificent palaces here, one for the harem and the other for the office.

    In the palace, a large table was placed in the main hall designated by Achilles as a place for political discussions. At this time, Lalasi and several other officials gathered here.

    Standing at the front of the table, Achilles, with the crown on his head, frowned habitually, looking down at the patterned animal skin spread out on the table.

    "Your Majesty, according to your instructions, we have measured the area around the pier, which can be used to build a new market. However, we are worried that it is too close to the Pinho River. When the enemy invades, the market will be destroyed.  Destroyed." Lalasi said respectfully.

    Achilles sneered, stretched out his hand, pressed his middle finger on the black line representing the Pinho River, and drew on it with force.

    He said in a very domineering tone: "From today on, the entire Pinho River belongs to me. Only I can use it to hit others, and no one will use it to threaten me."Facing this young and domineering new king, Lalasi and several other officials who came from the old king's era were still a little uncomfortable with it.

    It¡¯s just that the king, who was only eleven years old, showed such strength that every minister was breathless.  Just imagine that throughout Greece, when several more kings ascended the throne, the gods sent out sacrifices to congratulate them.

    In the whole of Greece, perhaps only Agamemnon, the King of Mycenae, received such treatment from the gods when he ascended the throne.

    Mycenae was the overlord of the entire Greek world, Agamemnon was the leader of the Greek federation, and Thessaly was just a poor kingdom among the many kingdoms in Greece.

    When a new king ascends the throne, it is an honor to be sent by one or two ordinary gods to offer sacrifices and greetings. However, it attracts congratulations from many gods, and the gods also send heavy gifts.

    Those priests who came to Thessaly in flying chariots from distant places were each ancient demigods who had lived for a long time, and their status was even higher than those lowly gods.

    But after arriving in Thessaly, he was on an equal footing with the kings from his own year, without showing any airs of superiority. This is probably an honor that even Agamemnon cannot get.

    And since he came to the throne, the wise mind he has displayed has even made them, the officials who followed him, feel ashamed.

    Hearing Achilles's extremely domineering words, Larasi and others were stunned for a moment, and then they remembered the huge warships they had seen before. With these huge ships swimming on the Pinho River, how could anyone pass through?  The Pinho River threatens the city of Larissa.

    Suddenly, everyone here straightened up. Yes, Thessaly is different now because there is an unusual king here.

    He once used his spearmen to kill the terrifying dragon-men, and fought against the largest sea beast in the sea. His power even allowed him to be on an equal footing with those ancient demigods. Looking at the various city-states in Greece, how many people can compete with them?  Compared to him.

    "The location of the new market will be decided next to the pier. What you have to do next is to calculate the number of stones, wood, slaves, and money needed to build the market as soon as possible." There was no discussion in Achilles' words.  the meaning of.

    Without waiting for a few people to respond, he continued: "There is no order in the entire city of Larissa. In the next few years, we need to gradually transform Larissa to make it something like  A bustling city like Troy.¡±

    Hearing this, several people present were shocked and looked at their young king in disbelief. In their view, this opportunity was impossible.

    Although they have never been to Troy, they have heard a lot about Troy from the merchants and know how prosperous Troy is.

    It was a city-state full of gold, with the tallest and strongest city walls, and neat towering buildings standing in the city. In the center was the king's palace, which was even more luxurious than the temple.

    As for the city of Larissa, today¡¯s Thessaly is just a city full of poor people and filthy garbage. There is no money, no food, and some people are just hungry.

    Once upon a time, the great Peleus also wanted to rejuvenate this city, but nearly a hundred years later, the city is still the same as it was before, and has not changed.

    Without a maritime fleet composed of a large number of warships, it is impossible to carry out overseas trade and overseas colonization, then you will never get wealth and food.

    Even with the few warships gifted by the gods, Thessaly still does not have the ability to conduct large-scale overseas trade and overseas colonization.

    They understand the current situation of Thessaly better than Achilles, the new king. Thessaly does not have the ability to build large sea ships, so it cannot form a large fleet.

    Seemingly seeing what these people were thinking, Achilles said firmly: "In three years, I will build a huge fleet."

    "But Your Highness"

    Ralasi was about to say something more, but was interrupted directly by Achilles: "Remember, never doubt any of my decisions. As my officials, what you need is to follow my instructions."  Do it without doubting the rest.¡±

    Having said this, his tone became a little more relaxed. After all, these people have been with their father for a long time and are used to independent thinking. Now that they have encountered a strong self, it will naturally be difficult to adapt.  They need to be given time.

    "Forget it, since you have chosen to follow me."?Let me tell you some secrets. During this mission to find the magic box, I got a fortune left by people of the previous era. This wealth is almost equivalent to several years of income in Thessaly.  And I also got the technology to build large warships from a certain Lord God, so I have the confidence to build a huge fleet.  "

    Sometimes, fabricating lies appropriately can often be a good thing for yourself and others.  After hearing his half-truth and half-false words, Lalasi and others' eyes shone with light.

    Why has Thessaly, with a population of nearly 300,000, always been so poor?  Because they did not have huge warships, they were unable to conduct overseas trade and colonization.

    The reason why they don¡¯t have large warships is not because they don¡¯t have the money to build them, but because they don¡¯t have the technology to build large warships.

    For every city-state, overseas colonization and overseas trade are a fatal temptation. If they have the technology to build large warships, no matter how difficult it is, they will tighten their belts to build large warships.

    Because everyone knows that as long as they have large warships, they can enter the rich and vast ocean, go to distant places to obtain wealth, and develop colonies.

    Now that the king has brought back the technology to build large warships, he has also brought back huge wealth. With the huge population of Shasali, it is natural to build a large number of warships.

    It doesn't take much, just build a dozen more 20-meter large warships, plus the two 30-meter super warships, and the five 20-meter large warships, you can form a team.  A huge fleet.

    When they thought that their country would have a huge fleet in the near future, everyone couldn't help but get excited, and they looked at the young king with more and more respect.

    "As I said before, as long as you follow my orders, you will have everything from noble status to endless wealth." At the end of the day, Achilles did not forget to give them a good wish.  Only when these people see hope will they be able to do things for themselves in a down-to-earth manner.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want anyone else to hear the words I¡¯m telling you today. You just have to do things for me down-to-earth. If anyone lies to me, I don¡¯t mind letting them disappear from this world.¡±

    As he spoke, his cold and stern eyes swept over everyone's body. Anyone who was targeted by him shuddered involuntarily, as if they were being targeted by the ferocious beast.

    When she left the political hall, it was already dark. When she walked through the corridors and returned to her room, Sophia was reading under the light.

    Wearing a white gauze dress, it covered her imaginative body. Her long golden hair fell on her chest, and the dim light fell on her body, creating a tranquil atmosphere.

    Achilles stopped his steps, walked forward silently, leaned down, stretched out his arms and pulled Sophia into his arms.

    Sophia, whose attention was focused on the book, was frightened by his sudden attack. A rare trace of panic appeared on her face that seemed to be always calm.

    Before she could clearly see the appearance of the person behind her, a pair of big hands had already climbed to the proud peaks on her chest, and began to knead them unscrupulously.

    She struggled hard and turned her head in panic. When she saw the appearance of the person behind her, she finally calmed down. Those beautiful eyes glared at Achilles fiercely, and then she calmed down.  Despite Achilles' frivolity.
