Chapter 23 Odysseus



In the main hall of the prince's palace in Pella, the capital of Macedonia.

Alexander paced back and forth, looking anxious.

Today I talked about Stoby with my father again. He still has the same established policy - wait until Stoby becomes internally riotous before taking action!

However, according to reports from his own spies, Stobi was still undergoing extensive construction, the morale of the people was high, and there was no chaos.

no!

I can’t wait any longer for my father to take action!

Alexander decided to add fuel to the fire in advance.

"Come here! Call the king of Stupala to me. I need to discuss something with him in person." Alexander ordered.

"Yes! Your Highness!" The guard immediately bowed his head in response and hurried away.

That morning, Xia Zhe was directing everyone to play a new simulation business game.

After lying in bed for a long time last night, Xia Zhe planned to build the dream city in his mind - Chang'an.

He wanted to create a custom map with the richest mines, the highest possible agricultural variety, and well-connected roads. This map was not based on the actual conditions of any ancient Greek city-state.

Although this kind of city has an extremely difficult start.

There are so many things to plan for, and threats of looting from all sides will continue to emerge.

But once it works, it will be a dream-like ending!

Just when they were having fun, the Prime Minister and the high priest arrived.

"Is the King going to start another internal affairs simulation? Ah, the settings are so difficult and complicated. Is there really such a city in the world?" The Prime Minister asked in surprise.

"Of course not, actually. What I simulated and operated was the Chang'an City in my mind!" Xia Zhe answered frankly.

"Chang'an City?"

The Prime Minister and the High Priest were both confused.

Odysseus, the young talent standing aside to cooperate with Xia Zhe's command, also looked confused.

Odysseus is a genius that has not been seen in the high priest clan for hundreds of years.

The high priest placed great hopes on him and tried every possible means to arrange for Odysseus to be placed in the internal affairs simulation sandbox.

Odysseus himself is also very hardworking and always has unique insights. He can be regarded as a rare good friend of Xia Zhe in playing games.

So, I have been on duty in this sandbox for almost half a month, and I have never been replaced by the countless people queuing behind me.

"Chang'an is the ancient name, which later became Xi'an!"

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Xia Zhe casually explained.

"Zion? Are you talking about the legendary holy city of Zion in heaven? It is indeed not a real city on earth!" The high priest suddenly realized.

Upon hearing this, the other two also had expressions of "I see."

Forget it, the more I explain, the more confused I become!

Xia Zhe curled his lips helplessly and changed the subject.

"Tell me! What's the matter with you coming here to see me?"

Xia Zhe understood in his heart.

I haven't attended meetings for a long time, and the Prime Minister and the High Priest rarely come.

The two of them came together today, there must be something important.

Could it be that my clever plan has worked, and Stoby's food supply has run out, and he's starting to panic?

"That's right! The city of Stupala has sent an envoy, intending to form an alliance with our city to fight against Macedonia! I have discussed it with my ministers, and we all think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! We intend to agree to it. I came here to report to the king first!" said the Prime Minister.

What?

Won’t there be chaos if the food is eaten up?

Is it to form an alliance with Stupala to fight against Macedonia?

Xia Zhe knew about the city-state of Stupora. It was a force in the southwest.

Like Stobi, it belongs to the civilized camp, but is much larger than Stobi, with a standing army of nearly 100,000.

It is definitely a good thing for a city-state like this to take the initiative to win over Stobi.

No wonder the Prime Minister and others agreed so readily!

But what is the goal of the alliance?

Fight against Macedonia!

That won’t do!

Absolutely not!

I will be fired sooner or later! Macedonia will occupy this place sooner or later!

How can we do anything that offends Macedonia?

"I don't agree with the alliance!"

Thinking of this, Xia Zhe answered firmly.

disagree?

Xia Zhe's attitude was beyond the expectations of the Prime Minister and the High Priest.

How could the king not agree? The Stupala envoys were already in the meeting hall, waiting to exchange the treaty.

This is just a routine matter, just a notice to Wang Zhi.

How could such a great thing, which would bring only benefits to Stoby and no harm, be rejected?

"Did my king not hear clearly? The one who wants to form an alliance with us is the big city of Stupla in the southwest, not the barbarian tribe in the north!" the high priest reminded.

"Yes, yes! Stupala's territory is in the southwest. Their border with Macedonia is hundreds of kilometers long. They are under tremendous pressure just like us! Forming an alliance with them and getting help will be very practical, not just verbal like the Little McTally..." The Prime Minister also echoed.

"Don't explain anymore! I'm saying this one last time! I don't agree to this alliance!"

Xia Zhe spoke angrily, interrupting the Prime Minister.

You traitor claim to understand me!

Don’t you know that what I want is to get the get out of class over with as soon as possible?

You don't do your job properly, so when I asked you to expand the city, you just raised it and repaired it!

It's quite quick to attract allies and irritate Philip's nerves!

no!

We must not let this alliance be concluded!

Otherwise, if I get a strong reinforcement, it will not only interfere with my plan to resign, but also offend the Macedonians!

Even if I am dismissed from get out of class in the future, I have to save face with Philip!

Otherwise he would just chop off my head, wouldn't that be easy?

silence!

For a moment, neither side could accept the other's opinion.
