    Wearing a white cloak and shawl, Sofia, dressed simply, came with Inas, and Funix was guarding her with several soldiers.

    Now Sophia¡¯s identity has been revealed in the city of Larissa. Although the two did not hold a wedding, they are already the recognized queen of Thessaly.

    When Sophia came from the palace with Inas, the people crowded outside the city moved out of the way to make way for this beautiful and young queen.  []

    Seeing Sophia¡¯s arrival, the nobles also bowed and saluted to show their respect.  Sophia also turned aside politely as a return gift.

    Achilles, who rode his divine horse to the front of the team, rode up to Sophia, then jumped down, with a smile on his handsome face.

    Sophia turned slightly sideways, her beautiful face full of softness, and her soft and sweet voice echoed in Achilles' ears: "Your Highness, congratulations on your victory over the Macedonians and your triumphant return."

    Achilles reached out to help her up and raised his right arm, while Sophia wrapped her white arm around his strong arm.

    "Inas, beautiful ocean princess, don't you have anything to say to me?" Achilles did not forget Inas beside him, looking at her with a smile.

    There was no smile on Inas's face, just like Sophia, she turned slightly sideways and said a little sadly: "Handsome and brave Achilles, you only have the beautiful Queen Sophia in your eyes, and I  , just green leaves next to those beautiful flowers.¡±

    Hearing her somewhat plaintive words, Achilles was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "It's my fault for neglecting the beautiful princess of the ocean. Beautiful princess, I wonder if I am lucky enough to be with you?"  You go with me."

    After saying that, he bowed slightly and stretched out his left hand towards Inas. Inas blushed surprisingly, but still put his hand on Achilles' outstretched arm.

    Achilles walked slowly with two beautiful women, and Zomokos and other demigods wearing armor and holding spears followed behind him. On both sides of the road, nobles and people kept cheering.

    In the largest square in the city of Larissa, Achilles in armor stood in the center of the square, with tens of thousands of Thessalian people quietly surrounding him.

    "Thessaly, an ancient kingdom with hundreds of years of history, suffered shameless invasions by the barbaric Macedonians in the past hundreds of years. Countless Thessaly warriors died fighting to protect this beautiful land.  battlefield."

    "But from today on, we no longer need to worry about Macedonian invasion, because our brave Thessalian soldiers, after a tenacious battle, completely destroyed the barbaric Macedonians."

    "All the adult males of the Macedonians were sent into the arms of Hades, and the Macedonian women and children were also brought back to Thessaly by us. From then on, there was no longer a tribe of Macedonia in this world.  .¡±

    ¡°Both the nobles and ordinary people gave out warm cheers to express the uncontrollable excitement in their hearts.

    "When I returned to Thessaly, the great Lord God gave me the technology to build huge warships. In the days to come, I will devote all my efforts to building a huge fleet belonging to Thessaly."

    The news he said next was tantamount to a heavy bomb, which shocked everyone's heart and made everyone stay there.

    "It's time for Thessaly to step out of this land and enter the vast and fertile ocean to obtain the wealth that will make the kingdom strong and prosperous."

    "To the east of the Aegean Sea, there is Troy, which is full of gold. At the southernmost tip of Greece, there are the most powerful Mycenae and Athens, as well as ancient Crete. They have their own possessions on every ocean.  Warship."

    "But I believe that in the near future, warships flying the flag of Thessaly will appear in every corner of the ocean to compete with these powerful kingdoms, because in Thessaly, there is a group of extraordinary people.  , with a group of warriors who are good at fighting."

    The people raised their hands and cheered, while the soldiers raised their shields and spears and beat them feverishly above their heads.

    Running thousands of miles to destroy the Macedonians, who had been enemies for centuries, was an unparalleled feat. When Achilles returned to Thessaly with many Macedonian women, children and wealth, he was destined to gain the support of all the people and soldiers.

    In this relatively democratic era, the support of the people, whether it is for the nobles or the king, is of extremely important significance, because it represents his decision-making power in the meeting of nobles.

    Now, he has completely gained the influence of all the demigods and heroes, as well as the two thousand warriors.??, with military power in hand and the wealth of the Macedonians, there was no one in the kingdom who could restrain him.

    And the reason why he announced that he had the technology to build large warships and was about to go all out to build warships was to mobilize the enthusiasm of all the people of Thessaly and make those who were wavering move closer to him.

    On a deeper level, he did this in order to solve the troubles of those nobles without bloodshed and make them give up their rights obediently.

    An individual¡¯s private property is sacred and inviolable. Even gods have no right to deprive any mortal of their private property.

    The technology of building warships in the hands of Achilles belongs to him personally and is private property. Even those nobles who are jealous have no right to ask for it from him.

    And as a king, he has powerful military force, and now he has the allegiance of all demigods and heroes. Naturally, those nobles do not dare to use force.

    These nobles are not fools. When the news comes out that he is about to build a large warship, they will definitely figure out how to get in and benefit from it as soon as possible.

    No one is unclear about the significance of a huge fleet composed of large warships, which represents endless wealth and rich colonies.

    The reason why Thessaly has always been poor is because it does not have the technology to build large warships and cannot go out of the inland to obtain wealth and colonies in the rich sea.

    Now that the young king has the technology to build large warships, and is going all out to build a huge fleet, this means that in the near future, Thessaly will carry out overseas colonization and overseas trade, and there will be a steady stream of resources.  Continuously riches were brought to Thessaly by fleet.

    Achilles¡¯s idea is very simple, that is, he wants to draw all the nobles into this huge project of building a fleet. Of course, there is no free lunch in the world. If you want to get benefits, you must first pay something.

    Thessaly has a population of nearly 300,000. In terms of population alone, it ranks among the top five of all Greek kingdoms.

    With such a large population base and the technology to build large warships, Thessaly is fully capable of developing large-scale overseas colonization and overseas trade. This is a huge cake that Achilles cannot swallow by himself.  Not going down.

    But if all the Thessalian nobles join in, they will accumulate huge wealth for decades or even hundreds of years, and they will speed up the construction of warships and build more warships.

    As a price, the nobles must hand over their rights to Achilles. As for how they will choose, Achilles does not need to consider it.

    As Achilles expected, when Crozes and other nobles heard the news, they couldn't sit still for the first time.

    When the grand welcome ceremony ended and they left the square, these nobles hurried to Crozes's mansion.

    "Crozes, do you think what the little king said is true?"

    "Don't you know? As early as half a month ago, the king had already begun to rush the craftsmen to build warships and build a huge dock next to the Pinho River. Now it seems that he really has the plan to build a large warship.  Ship technology.¡±

    After the nobleman reminded them, everyone immediately thought of the huge shipyard under construction, right? If His Royal Highness the King did not master the technology of building large warships, then why would he quietly build such a large shipyard?  Woolen cloth.

    Another noble spoke, and said in a deep voice: "Now the king already has seven huge warships in his hands. As long as he can build several more large warships, he can conduct overseas trade. By then,  It will bring back huge wealth, and we must find ways to benefit from it."

    When the benefits were mentioned, everyone got excited, and a noble said: "That's right, we can't let the king own this huge fleet alone, otherwise we will get nothing."

    Crozes, who had been silent all this time, snorted coldly and said in a cold voice: "Those warships were given to the king by the Lord Gods, and the technology for building warships was also given to him by the Lord Gods. These all seem to belong to him.  Property, may the king share his seeming property with us?¡±

    The hall fell silent, and everyone frowned. After a long time, someone spoke again, saying: "We can convene a meeting of nobles to put pressure on the king and ask him to announce the technology for building warships."

    Hearing what this man said, Crozes had the urge to slap him, and shouted angrily: "You idiot, after this war, the king has got everythingThe key to the support of the people and soldiers was that demigods like Zomokos stood behind the king unconditionally. Even if a noble council was convened, most people would choose to support the king.  "

    "Don't try to use the Noble Council to create pressure on the king. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive. Use your brains and come up with a good solution."
