Chapter 131: A surprise attack on the king's tent



With the end of the morning's battle, the Roman blockade of Hyperion was obviously much weaker.

Everyone had already made their judgment. If a few thousand people rushed towards the east where the blockade was weak, they would definitely be able to break out of the encirclement.

"Of course I'm going! Of course I'm going! Tonight, I'll lead the team myself!"

After listening to Ajax's suggestion, Ina nodded heavily.

That man, he came to save me!

If he has something going on, how can I just ignore it?

"I also want to meet the legendary King Stoby as soon as possible!" Spartacus interrupted.

Although he lived in Rome for a long time, Spartacus was actually a Thracian.

He has long had fond childhood memories of his homeland Greece.

After arriving in Hyperion, Spartacus heard too many stories about King Stobi from Ajax.

Hearing that everyone was going to meet the great hero, Spartacus also became interested.

"Okay, let's do it together! I will select 5,000 elites from my command. The queen will also bring 5,000 people. As for Spartacus, you just need to bring a few dozen old brothers who revolted! We will each go back to prepare and gather at the east gate in two hours, how about it?" Ajax said.

"Okay!" Everyone agreed in unison.

In the tent of the king of the Stobi coalition.

Before nightfall, the guards came to report that Achilles' reinforcements had arrived.

Overjoyed, Xia Zhe immediately summoned Achilles to his tent for dinner.

Although the battle in the morning was won, Xia Zhe was still somewhat worried about Odysseus's command ability.

As for the Prime Minister and the High Priest.

One of them is a traitor and the other is old and confused. Xia Zhe is certainly not someone he can rely on.

Only with the arrival of Achilles could Xia Zhe finally be able to completely let go and have fun.

This time, Achilles brought only a small number of people, only 40,000.

But they were all the most elite Murmidon warriors, their individual combat capabilities unmatched in the Great North, even surpassing those of the Macedonian Silver Shield Spearmen.

Achilles also witnessed the horror of the Roman army on the king's sand table.

He traveled day and night to come to the rescue, but only brought a small number of people with him, and was not there to participate in the main battle.

Achilles' logic is simple.

If Stoby were defeated in a major battle with all three million troops deployed.

Even if I bring more people, it will be a drop in the bucket.

It would be better to just protect the king!

If only to rescue the king from the heavy enemy forces and escort him back to Stoby safely.

These 40,000 people are enough!

The emperor and his ministers had a very pleasant dinner in the big tent.

When passing through Thessaloniki on his way north, Achilles met Hector who was heading south.

He had learned that the king had arranged a marriage for him in the form of a treaty. He would soon marry Iphigenia, Hector's sister and the most beautiful woman in Troy!

While in Thasos, Achilles became good friends with Hector, who he knew was trying to bring him and Iphigenia together.

However, Iphigenia was a princess of one of the five great Greek states, while he was only a general. The difference in their status was too great.

Unless he was willing to defect to Troy and become a favorite under the Trojan king, there would be many obstacles in his way of marrying Iphigenia.

It is certainly impossible to abandon the king who has been so kind to him and the rapidly rising Stoby.

Therefore, Achilles only thought about this matter occasionally and never expected it to come true.

But, I never expected it.

The king, far away in Stobi City, unexpectedly noticed his thoughts and arranged a marriage between him and Iphigenia in the form of a formal treaty between nations.

In this case, even if the King of Troy was very opposed, he had no choice.

Seeing the king at this moment, Achilles was so grateful that he kept thanking him.

Seeing Achilles so excited, Xia Zhe felt really bad.

Do you think I want to give this beautiful lady to you?

The Trojan prince must have lost his mind. He nodded and agreed to things regardless of whether he should agree or not!

If I had known that you, despite appearing ruthless, were still obsessed with women, I should have used Ajax to scare Hector!

No! It's not right to scare Ajax!

That Trojan prince is a complete idiot, he can't be scared at all. I should have taken Iphigenia in myself, instead of letting Achilles take advantage of her.

Now that the credentials have been signed, there's no way to go back on my word. Forget it, let's just consider it a good deed.

Anyway, Achilles is a pretty useful guy.

In the future, at critical moments, I will have to rely on him to save my life.

The war with Rome was actually over, but Achilles, like Odysseus, always felt that Rome would launch a larger-scale attack.

The Murmidon warriors have been brought here, and it is very important to arrange close protection for the king immediately.

During the meal, Xia Zhe disagreed when he heard Achilles' idea.

The war is over, what else could be the big deal?

However, Xia Zhe did not say this.

They all planned to be hands-off bosses, and let Achilles do whatever he wanted.

As a king, I care too much. Don't let my subordinates develop the bad habit of relying on me!

If everyone was like Odysseus in the morning, without any opinion at all, he would be invincible.

Then I don’t want to be exhausted to death?

With the king's tacit approval, Achilles immediately began making preparations after dinner.

He arranged the tents of 40,000 Murmidon warriors around the king's tent.

An extra circle of sentries was also added near the king's tent.
