    When the moon rose above the branches, the entire palace became completely quiet, and the woman's moans and the man's heavy breathing were gradually swallowed up by the darkness.

    In that charming room, the dim lights were still swaying, and on the ground covered with soft fur, two naked bodies hugged each other tightly.

    After the violent storm of passion, Sophia curled up in Achilles's arms like a docile kitten, her skin all red.  []

    Achilles lowered his head, kissed the snow-white forehead, and said softly: "Sophia, be my wife."

    At Achilles¡¯ sudden words, Sophia was stunned, her heart contracted suddenly, and her beautiful face showed a complicated expression.

    With a slight sigh, he said with a hint of sadness: "I can give my body to you, but I cannot be your wife, otherwise it will bring disaster to you."

    Achilles calmed down and just hugged her soft body. He had always wanted to know Sophia's life experience, but he never forced her to tell him.

    This is a mysterious woman. As we spend more and more time together, you can feel more and more something unusual about her.

    Achilles can be sure that such a woman cannot be conceived in the mortal world. She definitely does not belong to the mortal world and should come from the heavenly world.

    It¡¯s just that no matter what kind of past she has, those past things have nothing to do with him. He only knows that he likes her.

    After a long time, he said slowly: "You are the first woman who made me want to get married. I hope to keep you by my side forever and let you accompany me forever."

    Sophia caressed his face gently, leaned against his broad chest docilely, and said softly: "I will always be with you until the end of my life."

    Looking at each other with deep love, the two bodies were close again. Under the flickering light, the love sublimated, making the two originally separate bodies come together.

    ¡­¡­

    On the seventh day after Achilles ascended the throne, the old warships in his hands finally completed the transformation of the first one.

    More than a dozen fishermen recruited from the Linhe settlement boarded the ten-meter-long fishing boat and became familiar with this large fishing boat that was transformed from a warship.

    Although there are many things that need to be dealt with in Thessaly today, including the recruitment and training of soldiers, the reclamation of land, the renovation of fishing boats, the planning of new markets, the construction of docks, etc.

    Fortunately, there are dedicated people in charge of these affairs. Achilles does not need to do everything. He only needs to sit on the throne and coordinate the management, which is quite easy.

    Hearing that the first fishing boat was launched, his interest was high, so he simply took Sophia and Inas out of the palace and went to the river for a walk.

    Although this improved fishing boat was originally an old warship, it was built using good quality wood and after being reinforced, it was perfect for being used as a fishing boat.

    After the renovation, everything on the boat that had nothing to do with fishing was removed, and fishing tools such as fishing nets were added.

    The fishing nets equipped on the fishing boats are all new fishing nets designed by Achilles based on some relevant memories from his previous life.  With this kind of fishing net, the fishing efficiency of fishing boats will be greatly improved.

    The craftsmen inspected the fishing boat for the last time, and after confirming that there were no problems, they all retired from the fishing boat, and the fishermen began to get busy.

    Under the control of the fishermen, this ten-meter-long large fishing boat slowly sailed out of the simple dock and headed towards a certain fishing ground designated by Achilles.

    Not far from the pier, there are another dozen old warships connected end to end, moored on the river bank. Craftsmen are busy on one of them, because they have nails made of bronze transported from the blacksmith shop.  The work of strengthening the hull is much simpler.

    In just two days, the transformation of the second fishing boat will be completed. At that time, the first fishing boat will sail into the fishing ground and start fishing on a large scale.

    To the west of the dock, more than two hundred slaves were carrying lumber under the command of craftsmen, and a huge shipyard had already begun to take shape.

    Looking at the fishing boat going away, Achilles paused on the dock for a long time. His mood was very similar to the mood he had when he first played Age of Empires and built his first fishing boat.

    Although this is just an ordinary fishing boat, the meaning it represents is very important.  The first fishing boat is launched, followed immediately by the second, third, and dozens of fishing boats.At some point, these fishing boats will bring him a steady stream of food.

    "Your Highness, our spies stationed in the northern city-state have sent news." Zomokos hurried from the military camp with a solemn expression.

    Achilles was stunned for a moment, looked at Zomokos, lowered his voice slightly and asked: "The Macedonians finally couldn't bear it anymore, are they going to take action?"

    Zomokos nodded affirmatively and responded: "Well, just yesterday at noon, the Macedonian army appeared near the city of Karava."

    Achilles pinched his chin habitually, thinking in his mind, and asked after a moment: "How many soldiers did the Macedonians send out in total this time?"

    "As His Highness predicted before, there are a total of three thousand, all young soldiers, including six hundred cavalry and twenty chariots."

    Achilles smiled noncommittally, with no trace of worry on his face, and said with a smile: "It seems that the famine in the northern grassland this time is more serious than we imagined, otherwise the Macedonians would not send out so many troops.  Cavalry and chariots.¡±

    Looking at the calm look on the young king's face, Zomokos was infected, and his original dignified look gradually relaxed.

    After these days of hard work, the number of soldiers in his hands has reached nearly two thousand, and one thousand of them have been equipped with the most sophisticated weapons.

    With just these one thousand soldiers with extraordinary force and well-equipped equipment, he was confident that he could fight against two thousand Macedonians head-on.

    Although the Macedonians unexpectedly dispatched as many as 600 cavalry and 20 warships this time, they could definitely win the battle with the cavalry equipped with stirrups they had in hand.

    And after seeing the power of those twenty crossbows, both he and the other demigods were full of confidence in defeating the Macedonians.

    "Yes, the Macedonians may have pulled out all their cavalry and chariots this time, hoping to plunder our Thessaly. Unfortunately, they may be disappointed this time."

    Achilles smiled, shook his head, and asked, "Now that the news has been sent back, have you chosen the location of the battlefield?"

    Zomokos nodded and responded loudly: "After discussion among several of us, we all agreed that the most ideal battlefield is near the city of Rodya, which is also relatively close to the city of Larissa, and the terrain there is flat, which is convenient for us.  The deployment of cavalry and chariot troops."

    "Rhodeia City is a good place. How many soldiers have you recruited in total now?" Achilles pondered for a moment and then asked again.

    Zomokos responded: "As of today, we have recruited a total of two thousand soldiers. The first soldiers recruited have all been equipped with weapons given by the God of Craftsmen. The other one thousand soldiers, we have recruited from among them."  Five hundred were selected and equipped with strong bows as archers, and of the other five hundred, three hundred were cavalry, and the other two hundred were responsible for chariots and ballistae.¡±

    Although Zomokos was somewhat deficient in marching formations due to the constraints of the times, this could not conceal his outstanding military talent.

    When people reach middle age, they are much more stable than those young people, and they think more deeply about things. For the next war, Achilles has no intention of intervening, leaving all the power to him.

    Of course, as a descendant, Achilles had never been a soldier, but he had read some of the most basic books such as Sun Tzu's Art of War. Those theories were many times more advanced than this era, even if they were casually read.  If you use it even a little bit, Zomokos can benefit a lot.

    He also intends to train Zomokos into a handsome man. Although he will not interfere with Zomokos's command of the army, he still plans to teach him some military theories of later generations.

    "Lalasi, bring the map." He turned around and shouted to Lalasi who was following him, gesturing to Lalasi to bring over the map drawn by him himself.

    Lalasi walked forward in small steps, and he and Zomokos opened the map left and right. Achilles found the city of Rhodea on the map, pressed his finger on it, crossed it with his finger, and finally landed on it.  On the grassland to the north.

    Zomochus raised his eyes and looked up. Under his finger, it was the camp that represented the location of the Macedonian tribe. He seemed to understand what Achilles meant and looked at him in disbelief. Then he became excited.  .

    Seeing the excitement on Zomochus's face, Achilles showed a sneer on his face and said in a cold tone: "After defeating this invading Macedonian army near the city of Rhodea, you must lead your soldiers to attack  A tribe of Macedonians.¡±

    Zomokos nodded repeatedly, his whole body trembling slightly with excitement, and he shouted loudly: "Your HighnessHeart, I will never let you down. You are waiting for my good news in the palace. All the Macedonians will become your slaves, and their wealth of lambs and horses will become your private wealth.  "

    Achilles shook his head and said with a smile: "I said that any wealth gained in the war will be my share, and it will also be the share of all the participating soldiers. When you go back, you must encourage the soldiers,  Tell them that those with outstanding military exploits will receive more rewards."
