The situation changed so quickly that Xia Zhe was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

Welcome everyone!

He quickly formed a Great Northern Alliance with more than fifty countries.

Macedonia's expansion was blocked from the east, west and north.

Only in the southern foothills of Mount Olympus and the Aegean coast were there no anti-Macedonian forces.

Inside the Great Palace of Pella, the capital of Macedonia.

Alexander and his right-hand man Antigonus were discussing the current situation.

"My king! Although we have conquered three small city-states, it seems that the loss outweighs the gain! Almost all of the remaining small city-states have joined the Great Northern Alliance advocated by Stobi. If we want to continue expanding in the future, I'm afraid we will have to fight against the Great Northern Alliance!" Antigonus said somewhat irritably.

"The Great Northern Alliance? The Great Northern Alliance should have been established with Macedonia as the core! How dare this clown Stobi become the leader of the Great Northern Alliance?" Alexander replied hatefully.

As the natural overlord of the Great Northern region, it was unimaginable in Philip's time that Macedonia was not included in the "Great Northern Alliance".

Although Alexander always felt that he was more far-sighted and better at fighting than his father.

However, he had to accept the fact

——In a short period of time, Macedonia still has a long way to go if it wants to restore the glory of the Philip era!

"Be patient for now and sort out the domestic situation! Although the alliance formed by small countries may seem powerful, it is not stable and is not scary. As long as we are patient, when their respective interests conflict fiercely, there will naturally be a chance to defeat them one by one!" Alexander continued.

As a brilliant strategist, Alexander had an advantage over Philip.

--young!

He could afford to wait and didn't need to take the risk of achieving everything in one go.

Alexander believed that as long as Macedonia remained silent for a few months, those small city-states would start internal turmoil due to their respective conflicts of interest.

The best option would be to send troops at that time.

"Report to my king! There is a woman who claims to be Aristotle's messenger and is asking for an audience outside the palace! She has a token from Aristotle as proof!" The guard came hurriedly to report, holding an ancient coin in his hand.
