After the Egyptian army chased to the west, no one dared to enter for several months.

It's not just because it's shocking and looks extremely tragic.

Also because Crete's largest city had been designated as a restricted area by Ptolemy, entry was prohibited.

Ptolemy intended to preserve this devastation and misery as a warning to the Cretans so that they would not resist again.

Therefore, this ruin has retained its original appearance until now.

"The great battle that took place a few months ago? In that case, the things should still be in the ruins of Knossos."

Hearing this, Xia Zhe spoke to Lillian thoughtfully.

"Yes!" Lillian nodded.

Only she understood what the king meant.

In order to obtain the yellow heart of the king from the continent of Crete, Xia Zhe deliberately went to the sand table to confirm it again before leaving Botaitia.

He and Lillian both saw it clearly.

The halo showing the heart of the king still remains firmly on Knossos.

That was less than a month ago.

If the Battle of Knossos took place months ago, it is certain that the Heart of the King is still among the ruins.

Without hesitation, Xia Zhe immediately ordered his soldiers to march into the ruins of Croesus.

This time when Xia Zhe came to Crete, he brought only a few thousand people.

However, they are all elites, and their individual combat power is no less than that of the Macedonian silver shield spearmen.

Seeing these strangers from the north striding into the Forgotten City from afar, the Cretans who had escaped the disaster were quite shocked.

After the Egyptians massacred the city, who would dare to disobey and venture into the ruins that the Egyptians had designated as forbidden areas?

Everyone thought these northerners were truly courageous. Perhaps, like Antigonus, they truly possessed the ability to challenge the Egyptians.

Of course, in reality Xia Zhe was not aware of the Egyptian ban.

He simply thought that since the Egyptian army had already massacred the city, they were chasing westward.

This place was naturally abandoned and became a no-man's land.

The right thing to do is to find the King's Heart in the ruins as soon as possible and leave quickly.

In fact, Knossos was almost a no-man's land.

Because he was unable to completely eliminate Antigonus and Minos, Ptolemy and his army of more than one million men all rushed to Keldonia in the west.

In Knossos, which should have been the core area of ​​Crete, the Egyptian legion only left two thousand people to garrison.

Ptolemy thought that all those who dared to resist in Crete had fled to the west.

Those who still live nearby are all timid and extremely lazy.

With two thousand Egyptian regular troops, it is more than enough to keep the situation under control!

The Egyptian garrison was stunned to find that there were over 10,000 well-equipped troops advancing towards the ruins of Croesus.

Although this is the center of Crete, it is far away from all the seaports.

This group of troops were obviously foreign troops. Their sudden appearance here was definitely not just a coincidence.

The commander of the Egyptian army was quite cautious and intended to retreat temporarily and report to Ptolemy first.

However, after dominating Crete for so long, many of his subordinates have become extremely confident.

Everyone felt that although the enemy troops were numerous, they looked well-organized.

But he might be like other Cretans, with no fighting power at all and would collapse at the first touch!

Since King Ptolemy has designated Knossos as a restricted area, he must of course do what he says!

This group of people broke the taboo and must be punished!

Otherwise, how could the Egyptians win the support of the people?

Seeing his men's high morale, the commander of the Egyptian Legion also gained some confidence.

He finally nodded and agreed to send half of his army, a thousand men, to raid the Stobi army that was entering Knossos.

Now that we have reached the edge of the ruins, we can start exploring immediately.

I don’t know which blind thief rushed out and robbed us while shouting and yelling!

Xia Zhe was furious and immediately ordered his men to fight back!

Stobi is the overlord of all Greece. Those who can follow Xia Zhe to the war must be warriors picked from hundreds of thousands.

After receiving the king's order, the soldiers immediately drew their weapons and confronted the Egyptians head-on without giving in.

After experiencing so many great battles, the combat effectiveness of Xia Zhe's personal guards is still superior to that of the silver shield spearmen led by Antigonus.

The army Ptolemy left behind at Knossos was no match for the Stobi army.

In just a few minutes, the entire group was knocked down.

Such a terrifying contrast in combat power frightened the remaining 1,000 Egyptians who had not yet joined the battle, and they hurriedly took a shortcut to escape.

From the beginning to the end, Xia Zhe had no idea that these thieves were the Egyptians who dominated Crete, and they had no idea that their duty was to garrison Knossos.

After easily defeating the thief, Xia Zhe immediately ordered his men to enter Knossos without hesitation.

Then, a carpet search began.

All everyone knew was that Wang was looking for a yellow gem.

Whenever the soldiers found yellow translucent stones, they would bring them to Lillian for inspection.

However, Xia Zhe was disappointed.

After working for most of the day, he found a lot of yellow stones, but there was no King's Heart among them.

What’s even more infuriating is that the ruins are so huge.

With only these ten thousand people, it would probably take several months to conduct a complete search.

If the King's Heart is hidden in a secret place, it might not be found even after half a year!

Look, night has fallen.

Sleeping in the military tent, Xia Zhe felt quite melancholy.

What should we do to find the King's Heart as soon as possible?

Xia Zhe fell into deep thought, and until late at night, he was still at a loss and unable to fall asleep.

The next day, at noon, he still hadn't woken up.

"Your Majesty, something strange has happened! Please come out and take a look!"

The guards outside shouted loudly, which finally attracted Xia Zhe's attention.

He got up sleepily and walked out of the tent. The scene in front of him scared Xia Zhe.

He suddenly became fully awake.

Outside the Stobi military camp, around the ruins, a large number of people had crowded in at some point.

Looking at the huge crowds of people, there must be at least two or three million people!

I thought that the people around Knossos had already fled and there were only a few left.

Xia Zhe was quite surprised to see so many people suddenly appear.

"This is our most honorable King, the King of Stoby! If you have anything to say, you can tell His Majesty the King!"

Seeing Xia Zhe walk out of the tent, Lillian spoke softly to everyone.

Hearing this, the crowd, which had been relatively calm, began to stir. People standing in the front row began to complain to Xia Zhe.

"Great King Stoby! Please save us!"

"Yes! We've figured it out! We'd rather the strong of the Greek world rule than be enslaved by other civilizations!"

"Your army is invincible! You are our hope!"

…

Everyone was talking with tears in their eyes, which left Xia Zhe confused.
