Chapter 142 Training the Navy



"Your Majesty, what do you think about this alliance?"

Hector gritted his teeth and cautiously tried to speak.

"Alliance? Yes, alliance! I'll call Lillian in and draw up a treaty immediately!"

After being awakened by Hector again, Xia Zhe finally came to his senses and gave an affirmative answer.

Hector felt relieved when he heard this, and then he realized that his entire back was wet with cold sweat.

Lillian quickly drafted the covenant.

The covenant stipulated that Stoica and Troy would become allies. If one of them was attacked or declared war on a third country, the other ally would have to unconditionally support it and also declare war on the third country.

In addition, Troy also needs to station a navy of no less than 500 warships in the port of Thasos.

As for Stoby's additional obligations, there was nothing in the covenant.

However, as long as Stoby was willing to sign and declare war on a third country for Troy, Hector didn't care about anything else.

It was not until Hector signed the agreement and returned to the inn that Yina and the others finished their respective arrangements and returned to the palace to report to Xia Zhe.

When they heard that the king had successfully formed an alliance with Troy, one of the five major Greek powers, and even won the support of the Trojan navy, everyone was impressed.

Everyone also heard from Lillian for the first time that Hector's visit was not simply to help his sister marry Achilles.

He also brought a map of the famous Trojan city of Alexandria, intending to present Alexandria to Stobi.

When this news came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

I thought that we had gathered everyone's wisdom, discussed it for a day, and made arrangements for another day.

This is already an excellent achievement, and I can ask the king for reward.

Unexpectedly, the king only had a meeting with Hector without making a fuss, and he got the full support of a first-class country and a large piece of rich territory!

Everyone couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The king's strength is truly unfathomable!

A few days later, the grand wedding of Achilles and Iphigenia was held in the royal palace of Stobi!

Achilles was very excited to see his new bride so beautiful, gentle and elegant.

He hugged Hector tightly and sincerely thanked his good friend for his efforts behind the scenes.

Of course, the most important thing for us to have all this is the letter from the king.

Although no one present knew the full contents of the letter except Lillian and Hector.

But King Stobius had asked the King of Troy to marry his general to the world-famous beautiful princess, and this matter had already been widely publicized by Hector.

Not only did everyone who came to the wedding know about it, but even the entire city of Stoby and even the entire league knew about it.

This was Hector's strategy to highlight the good relationship between Troy and Stobi.

However, objectively speaking, it also greatly improved Xia Zhe's reputation!

During the wedding, under the encouragement of the crowd, Achilles brought his shy bride and toasted Xia Zhe with nine glasses of wine.

It was not until Xia Zhe cried out that he could not bear it anymore and Yina pleaded for Wang that everyone laughed and watched Wang leave.

In fact, Xia Zhe was in such a hurry to leave not simply because he couldn't hold his liquor.

He also regretted it very much, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

If I had known Iphigenia was so beautiful, as beautiful as Ina, but each with their own strengths, I should never have given this flower to Achilles.

Now that the matter is settled, all we can do is sigh.

Xia Zhe simply couldn't do such a thing as stealing his subordinate's wife!

Even if I wanted to do it, Yina wouldn't agree!

Soon, accompanied by the high priest, Hector set out back to Troy.

True to his word, Xia Zhe asked the high priest to bring five Greek fires with him.

Of course, in order to maintain his technological advantage, Xia Zhe deliberately had the craftsmen dismantle the water circulation system in advance. The gun barrel was also made of no refined steel.

However, even so, Hector was still very excited when he touched the Greek fire with his own hands and looked at this terrifying weapon with his own eyes. He even shed tears.

For many years, Hector has been quite pessimistic about the future of Troy.

But after this trip to Stobi, he not only got the Greek fire, but also signed an alliance.

The fire of hope finally ignited in Hector's heart.

He swore secretly.

Once something happens to Stoby, Troy must behave well to further gain the recognition of King Stoby.

That way, when the Persian army attacks again in the future, Troy will be safe!

In fact, Achilles also secretly vowed to do his best for the king.

After their wedding, Achilles and Iphigenia got along well and were both very satisfied with their marriage.

Out of gratitude for the king's kindness, Achilles returned to the military camp after only three days in his new home.

He felt that although the navy's warships had not yet been built, the training of soldiers could be carried out in advance.

After careful consideration, Achilles chose the section of the river between Thessalonica and Eidomene as the training ground for his 500,000 elite soldiers.

The current there is strong and swift, much like sailing on the sea, and if you fall into the water, it is easy to rescue.

After such training, the troops will be well prepared when they actually go to sea in the future.

At the same time, Odysseus and Spartacus also arrived in Thrace with a million men.

Based on the scale of the gold mines in the three major golden cities, Odysseus deployed an additional 700,000 people in Coenness, the most northwestern city.

At the same time, Spartacus, a local, was arranged to stay in Coenness and command on the spot.

Odysseus himself resided in Amphipolis, the largest city of Stobi in Western Thrace.

Remotely coordinate the gold production of the two cities of Agrian and Arcandos!

Spartacus was very happy to return home in glory and be valued.

Recalling the hardships of being a slave in Rome, Spartacus cherishes everything in front of him.

He lived and ate with the miners, worked and played together, and soon won everyone's love.

On the other hand, Spartacus used his Thracian identity to unite the locals and turned the good things under Strobe’s rule into tangible improvements in their lives.

Don't just stay at the empty blessing of God.

Through Spartacus' efforts, the local barbarians in Thrace all fell in love with their new life.

Work from sunrise to sunset and rest from sunset to sunrise. Through hard work, you can get rich.

Everyone felt that this was much better than the previous days of fighting and killing, and having no food to eat!

It’s great to see that Spartacus, the king’s chosen one, is running Coennes so well.

While offering him his full support, Odysseus also admired the king deeply.

The king has a unique vision!

This former slave is truly a rare talent! Especially suited for this task!

Odysseus couldn't help but sigh secretly.

A leader who can put the right people in the right places is the true king.

Compared with Wang, I still have a lot to learn!
