    Chapter 146

    Throughout the Macedonian camp, the sound of the collision of metal weapons, the howl of pain, and the neighing of war horses echoed everywhere.

    This was a bloody massacre. The heavily armed Thessalians, led by demigods and heroes, dispersed the panicked Macedonians, preventing them from gathering together.  []

    Many Macedonians had just woken up from their sleep, and even rushed out of their tents when they bumped into the sharp spearmen of the Thessalian soldiers.

    ??Zomokos and other powerful demigods shuttled throughout the camp. According to Achilles's order, their mission was to eliminate those strong Macedonians who would cause greater casualties to their own ordinary soldiers.

    Whenever Macedonian heroes or demigods are discovered in the melee, these demigods wandering on the battlefield will immediately appear to avoid the casualties of ordinary soldiers of our own.

    And ordinary Thessalian soldiers, under the leadership of heroes, formed small teams to surround and annihilate the last small group of Macedonians.

    In the center of the camp, in the tallest tent, the bodies of the Macedonian demigods lay scattered on the ground. There was only one standing figure left in the huge tent.

    Achilles glanced at the corpses at his feet. These were all demigod-level beings, and they all had the blood of gods in their bodies. To him, they were all considered treasures.

    The Four-Elephant Furnace floated out from the body, exuding a suction force, sucking the corpses of the eight demigods into it, and then returned to Achilles' body.

    After collecting the corpses of all the demigods, Achilles did not stop anymore. He picked up his spearmen and turned around to leave the tent that was filled with the smell of blood.

    In the camp, the battle has come to an end. The last two hundred or so Macedonian soldiers, led by two Macedonian heroes, are making their final struggle.

    And in this open field, there were blood-stained Thessalian soldiers everywhere, and there were many spearmen and shields, surrounding this last group of Macedonians.

    "Your Highness" Seeing Achilles coming from a short distance away, Zomokos and others bowed and saluted.

    Achilles nodded, looked at the two hundred Macedonians who were resisting in the encirclement, and asked Zomochos: "Are there any Macedonians who escaped?"

    Zomokos shook his head and said with certainty: "Although these Macedonians are simple-minded, they will never escape."

    There are only warriors who die in battle, and there are no cowards who flee. This is the belief of the warriors in this era. This is the case in Thessaly, and Macedonia is probably no exception.

    "Your Highness, what should we do with these Macedonians? Should we kill them all, or capture them and make them slaves?" Zomokos asked.

    For the last two hundred Macedonian soldiers, Achilles did not think about what to do with them. Whether to kill them all or capture them and turn them into slaves.

    His eyes stayed on these Macedonians for a moment, then looked at Zomokos, and said in deep thought: "These are brave and capable Macedonian soldiers. If we turn them into slaves, can we control them? Let them  Work honestly?"

    Hearing the king's words, Zomokos and the other demigods also fell silent, thinking in their hearts. After a long time, Zomokos raised his head with a smile on his face and said: "Your Highness, if you don't trust them,  We can sell them to other city-states."

    After being reminded like this, Achilles seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flashed brightly, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he chuckled: "Your words made me think of one thing, building a slave market.  , maybe it can bring some trade benefits to Thessaly.¡±

    The slave market is a special market that specializes in slave trading as its main business project. In the slavery system, it is an extremely common social building in various kingdoms.

    Whether in the early days of capitalism or in a slave society, the slave market was extremely bloody and dark. Here, slaves were just like animals, hung with price tags and kept in different cages for sale.

    But it is undeniable that during a certain period of time, this dark and bloody market played a great role in promoting the development of society.

    Achilles told Zomochus: "When the grain from the nobles arrives, choose a steady demigod and let him lead a group of soldiers to escort the grain and these prisoners back to the manor."

    At this time, the two hundred Macedonians had completely lost their fighting spirit. After the last few leading heroes were killed, they completely gave up resistance and became prisoners of the Thessalians.

    After the battle, leave a small partSoldiers were divided to guard these Macedonian prisoners, while other soldiers began to clean the battlefield and collect the wealth left by the Macedonians.

    After more than an hour of fighting, in addition to the two hundred captives and more than a hundred injured, a total of 1,400 Macedonian corpses were found.

    This group of Macedonians have been away from the grassland for some time. In these days, they have robbed a lot of things from various city-states.

    The soldiers found one hundred lambs, twenty cattle, five hundred bags of grain, and three bags of gold in the Macedonian camp.

    What Achilles cared about the most was the six hundred horses in the hands of the Macedonians. Fortunately, in the previous battle, the Macedonians did not send out cavalry. Except for a few dozen horses used to pull chariots, the other  The war horses were all left in the camp.

    Now that all the Macedonians have been wiped out, and the entire camp has been occupied by Achilles' army, the more than 500 horses have become Achilles' possession.

    In this era of extreme shortage of horses, 600 fine war horses are already considered an extremely huge wealth. Even the larger city-states may not be able to produce so many good horses.

    The north of Thessaly is an endless plain, and where it meets the plain is the vast prairie.  If you want to fight in this vast land, horses are essential.

    The weapons left by the Macedonians were rummaged out by the soldiers and piled up into a small hill in the open space of the camp. Although these weapons were a bit crude, after all, many of them were made of bronze. Take them back and send them to  In the blacksmith shop, waste can also be reused.

    The soldiers of Thessaly were like a group of money-grubbing thieves, not sparing any corner of the camp. Nothing of value was left behind, including the Macedonian tents, which were also dismantled.

    After clearing the Macedonian camp, Achilles led his victorious army back to the camp with a rich harvest.

    The area where the Macedonians originally camped fell into dead silence. Except for the corpses of the Macedonians, no one could be seen.

    In this era, wild beasts roam everywhere. The strong smell of blood must have aroused the thoughts of the surrounding predators. It won't be long before the beasts from the surrounding mountains and forests will gather here.

    Maybe when the sun rises tomorrow, this bloody battlefield will be so clean that not even a bone can be found.

    When they returned to the camp, the soldiers made a fire to cook again. After a lot of fighting, everyone's physical strength was greatly consumed and needed to be replenished.

    Soon the whole camp became quiet. Under the moonlight, on the plain in the distance, black shadows crawled out from the darkness, and then gathered on the battlefield full of blood and corpses.

    The next day, the team did not set off immediately, because no Macedonians were missed, and Achilles did not need to worry. The Macedonians who stayed behind in the tribe were aware of it.

    Although it is not very far from the grassland, if you just rely on your legs to travel, it will take at least five or six days to reach the Macedonian tribe.

    Now we have more than 500 war horses from the Macedonians, which just solves the problem of marching.  Just install stirrups on these war horses, and even those soldiers whose riding skills are not very good can still shoot on horseback.

    Before this war, he had already set his sights on these Macedonian horses, so when the army left the manor, they brought a lot of stirrups.

    The cavalry in the team familiarly put the stirrups they carried on the newly acquired horses. Zomokos selected more than 500 soldiers from the team who knew basic riding skills to let them become familiar with these new horses.  war horse.

    In the afternoon, the demigods who were responsible for gathering soldiers on behalf of Zomochus led thousands of Thessalian soldiers to the camp.

    Along with this large team came the food collected by the nobles.  These nobles were considered thoughtful and raised three thousand bags of food. In addition, there were two hundred lambs and five hundred jars of fine wine.

    After spending the night last night, all the Macedonian corpses on the battlefield had been dragged back into the jungle by the wild beasts, and there was no longer a corpse to be seen.

    And the corpses of the Thessalian soldiers who died in the battle have also been put on the fire, and turned into a handful of dust in the farewell of everyone.

    Even the soldiers who had just arrived could not tell that a tragic battle had taken place here. After receiving sufficient food supplies, Achilles and Zomokos ledNearly a thousand cavalry troops left the camp in a hurry and headed towards the distant grasslands.

    The prestigious Danis and Lonias were left behind. Their task was also very heavy. Not only did they need to settle the newly arrived soldiers, but they also had to quietly transport all the food and belongings back to the manor.  .

    According to the will left by Achilles, they will stay in the camp for six days, and then select one thousand soldiers with outstanding military strength from the four thousand soldiers they have just summoned to expand their strength.
