Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In this era, because people all lived in the same city-state, it was very simple to recruit soldiers, and it did not take a lot of time like in later generations.

    When the decision of the noble meeting spread through the officials in this densely populated city-state, the men who were still farming in the fields put down their farm tools, picked up their weapons and shields, and rushed towards the square.

    Guarding the kingdom and defending the homeland from foreign invasion is the mission that every man adheres to. Even if they know that they will die in battle, they will still embark on the journey without hesitation.  []

    In Achilles' manor, two thousand armed soldiers, led by the heroes, left the manor and rushed to the banks of the Pinho River.

    The neighing of war horses echoed in the open area. A phalanx of forty chariots followed closely behind the cavalry, followed by five hundred archers.

    At the end of the team, twenty ballistae covered with straw mats, protected by fully armed soldiers, slowly moved forward.

    "These are all Achilles' possessions now, a thousand infantry armed to the teeth, 300 elite cavalry, 500 archers, and 200 soldiers in charge of ballistae.

    Although there are only two thousand people, because they are equipped with the most sophisticated weapons and equipment, once they enter the battlefield, they will be a nightmare for all enemies.

    Although such an elite army has been formed, Achilles will not let anyone know of its existence until this army has truly been tested by fire.

    So when this army left the manor, they did not enter the city of Larissa and join the soldiers gathered there, but went directly to the banks of the Pinho River.

    The seven warships in Achilles' hands were already waiting there after receiving the order, ready to transport the army across the river.

    On the surface, Zomokos was still gathering soldiers in the city of Larissa, preparing to lead the soldiers he gathered through Pinio and resist the invading Macedonians.

    In fact, these are just a cover. The reason why Achilles did this was not these soldiers, but the food on hand by the nobles.

    The one who really defeated the Macedonians head-on was the elite force of two thousand men in his hands, and for those soldiers who were temporarily summoned, the task Achilles left for him was to escort the grain and grass.

    When this elite team reached the river bank, seven huge warships were already waiting there. Under the command of the heroes, the cavalry and chariot troops were the first to board the warships, and then crossed the wide river to resist the enemy on the other side.  River bank.

    After the warship transported the cavalry and chariots to the opposite river bank, and returned again, twenty ballistae and five hundred archers boarded the ship.

    When all the infantry were sent across the river, the team resumed its previous formation, with the cavalry taking the lead and the chariots following closely behind, galloping toward the designated battlefield.

    In the city of Larissa, Zomokos, who was originally responsible for gathering the army, left two prestigious demigods to take his place. He himself took several other demigods and quietly left the city of Larissa.  Board the fishing boat docked at the dock and cross the river to join your army.

    Before Zomochus left the city of Larissa, Achilles had also disappeared from his palace. Before Zomokos and others joined the army, he had already come to the army in advance.

    Because he was worried about the safety of Sophia and Inas, he left Funix and others in the palace and left the city of Larissa alone.

    Two divine horses pulled the golden chariot galloping on the vast and flat land. He was wearing strong armor and stood proudly on the chariot, with the two spearmen standing upright beside him.

    Hearing the neighing of divine horses and the rolling wheels of chariots coming from the distance, the marching team stopped and looked towards here.

    When they saw Achilles on the chariot, the heroes and soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then bursts of fanatical cheers came out.

    Achilles is the king of Thessaly, but at the same time, he is also the most proud demigod of the Thessalian people. He is a legend who once slaughtered the dragon people.

    In this era of reverence for the strong, warlike warriors may even respect those legendary strong men more than their kings.

    The legend about Achilles has spread throughout Thessaly through the mouth of Centaur King Geron, and everyone knows his legendary deeds.

    And among these young warriors who are good at fighting, which one does not have the dream of venturing out to sea and performing legendary deeds? In his heart, he is full of respect for this young and powerful king.

    Now seeing this legendary king,Driving the golden chariot given by the gods and driving two divine horses, everyone came alone and became excited.

    "Your Highness the King"

    "Your Highness the King"

    The soldiers raised their spears and shields one after another, and kept making thunderous cheers to welcome their king.

    "Your Highness, why are you here alone?" The demigod Lonias, who was left by Zomokos to take charge of the army, hurriedly drove his chariot to meet him.

    Achilles glanced at the fanatical soldiers, with a smile on his face exposed outside the helmet, and said: "My people are fighting for my kingdom. As the king of Thessaly, I want to  Do you want to stay and enjoy yourself in that safe kingdom like those nobles who are greedy for life and afraid of death?"

    Lonias was stunned for a moment, then bowed slightly, put his arms across his chest, and shouted sincerely: "Great Achilles, you are the most extraordinary king I have ever seen. I will follow you."  It¡¯s my honor to fight on the sidelines.¡±

    The heroes around him also bowed down, put their arms on their chests, and followed Lonias in saluting Achilles.

    "Great Achilles, the strongest man in Thessaly, please let us follow you and fight in all directions."

    Achilles stood on the golden chariot, looked down at these Thessaly warriors, and said loudly: "Warriors of Thessaly, it is also my honor, Achilles, to lead you into battle to kill the enemy.  I believe that in the near future, a legend that will be passed down through the ages will be created in our hands."

    "You are all the darlings of the God of War and the most powerful warriors. From the moment you were born, you are destined to have an extraordinary fate. Maybe some of you will fall on the battlefield, but I believe that your  The name will be recited by everyone.¡±

    "Raise the spearmen and shields in your hands, shout the sacred name of Thessaly, and swear to defend her dignity and glory to the death. Any enemy who dares to blaspheme her will be punished with the bloodiest punishment."

    "Fight, fight for Thessaly, fight, fight for the noble blood flowing in our bodies, let everyone know that Thessaly has a group of the most powerful warriors in the world."

    "Fightfightfight" Whether it was heroes or ordinary soldiers, they were holding up spears and shields crazily and roaring.

    When Zomokos and other demigods joined the team and discovered the figure of Achilles in the team, they were slightly shocked, but they were soon relieved.

    Although they have not seen the young king take action with their own eyes, they have heard from the Centaur King about the process of him fighting powerful dragons and huge sea monsters.

    The force possessed by this young king has exceeded the imagination of ordinary demigods like them. With two divine horses and a golden chariot, he is almost invincible.

    There may be powerful demigods among those barbaric Macedonians, but compared with this king who has fought powerful dragons and sea monsters, they have no chance of winning.

    After the melee with the Macedonians, with this powerful king around, there is no need to worry about the powerful demigods that may exist among the Macedonians.

    "Zomokos, what is the situation in the city now? How long will it take for the nobles to prepare the food?" Looking at Zomokos, Achilles asked.

    Zomokos boarded a chariot and responded: "Your Highness, although those nobles are usually greedy and timid, every time they resist the Macedonian invasion, they will provide the soldiers with the shortest possible time.  Food is never delayed when it¡¯s ready.¡±

    "Although the amount of food that needs to be raised this time is much more than before, they will never delay. I think they will deliver the food by tomorrow at the latest."

    Hearing what Zomokos said, Achilles was surprised, but he soon understood that although people of this era were barbaric and rude, they were not yet contaminated and their thoughts were relatively simple.

    Although those nobles were greedy and timid, deep down they still loved and cared for their king.  Maybe they won't sacrifice their lives to defend this country, but they are definitely willing to sacrifice their wealth to defend this country.

    Thinking of this, Achilles's view of these nobles has slightly changed. From this point of view, they are actually not annoying and have their own respectability.

    "Great God of War, please protect the warriors of Thessaly and shine your divine light on these brave warriors, so that they can gain more powerful power, like the speed of the wind."

    Accompanied by Achilles's chant, the artifact-level protector on his wristThe war criminals glowed, and an invisible aura spread out, casting light on every soldier.

    Feeling the appearance of the invisible aura, Zomokos and others were shocked, looking at Achilles on the golden chariot in shock.

    As warriors who are good at fighting, each of them believes in the God of War. They are no strangers to the aura that appears on their bodies. It is the magical aura of the God of War.

    Among all the Greek city-states, only three city-states have the protection of the God of War's halo, one is the legendary Athens, one is the ancient Sparta, and the other is the distant Thrace.

    Of these three cities, the latter two are the favorites of Ares, the god of war, while Athens is the favorite city of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war.

    Even prosperous cities like Mycenae and Troy were not favored by the God of War and the Goddess of Wisdom, and thus were protected by the God of War¡¯s halo.

    For soldiers who are good at fighting, the God of War halo can greatly improve their physical endurance and running speed, making them killers on the battlefield.

    "Warriors of Thessaly, the light of the God of War has arrived. The outcome of this war has been determined. Take such a step to destroy those humble barbarians."

    With the roar of Achilles, two divine horses neighed, dragging the golden chariot and galloping towards the north, followed by demigods such as Zomokos driving the chariot.

    The soldiers felt the changes in their bodies, shouted fervently, and ran towards the front at a speed that was impossible to achieve on ordinary days.

    Because of the blessing of the God of War's halo, whether they are soldiers or horses, their movement speed and endurance have been greatly improved. When night is coming, they have already arrived at the designated battlefield.

    The city of Rhodea is a small city-state in the north of Thessaly. The people here mainly hunt and herd all year round, with a population of only 30,000.

    Because it is close to the grassland, it has been harassed by the grassland tribes for many years. Fortunately, this city-state has a relatively strong city wall. When the grassland tribes invade, you only need to hide inside the city and you will be safe.

    In this area, there are fifteen or sixteen small city-states like Rhodea. These city-states mainly focus on hunting and herding, and the living conditions are not ideal.

    To the west of Rhodea City is an endless plain, and further to the west is an endless jungle. Most of the food of the Rhodesians comes from this jungle.

    When Achilles led his army to this plain, he saw a series of tents in the distance. They were different from the tents in Thessaly and had a rough atmosphere.

    Around the tent, you can vaguely see some barbarians with their upper bodies naked and their lower bodies wrapped in animal skins, holding large weapons.

    These barbarians with outstanding eyesight immediately discovered this murderous army, and the low sound of horns sounded across the vast plains.

    With the sound of the horn, countless barbarians poured out of the tents, gathered together, waved the huge weapons in their hands, and howled in this direction.

    Looking at these rough and barbaric Macedonians, Achilles on the chariot shook his head in disappointment and slowly raised his hands.

    "The cavalry dismounts and rests, the infantry moves forward to form a square formation, and the archers and ballistae are ready."

    After a long and long journey, despite the blessing of the God of War halo, both the horses and the soldiers were already a little tired and needed to rest and wait until they regained their energy before attacking.

    The heavily armed infantry pressed forward and formed a solid defensive line at the front, while the archers and ballistae were also ready to guard against a sudden attack by the barbarians on the opposite side.

    The third update is here and I went to sleep.
