Chapter 283: Terrifying the World



With the de facto unification of the whole of Greece by Stoica, all the countries along the way became vassal states of Stoica.

The Greek city-states that had been plagued by constant wars rarely stopped fighting and devoted themselves to developing domestic affairs and improving people's livelihood.

This unprecedented change made the people along the way praise it highly, and they praised King Stobi as the wisest king in history.

Although Xia Zhe, who was on the boat, could not hear it, Alexander, who was marching on land, was still quite emotional.

At one point, Alexander thought that his defeat to the king was simply due to his strategy and tactics, and that he was still a little short of the mark.

Even his level of use of his generals was much higher than his own.

But it was not until now that Alexander understood that the king's success was ultimately due to his kindness.

The king always has the people in his heart and strives for their happiness. That is why he is invincible!

Whether it was himself, Xerxes, or any other powerful ruler, they had always only treated the people as resources for their hegemony, without truly considering their feelings.

Only the king, when making any decision, puts the ordinary people and ordinary soldiers on his side first. Therefore, he can gain the true love of ordinary people and ordinary soldiers.

This time, Alexander traveled south to the Peloponnese, facing the ambitious Leonidas. He felt that the people's attitudes showed that the king would win again.

In fact, although Alexander's reasons were unreliable, his conclusion was very accurate.

Upon hearing that King Stobius was personally leading an army of more than 10 million to punish him, King Leonidas of Sparta became extremely nervous.

It is true that the Spartans were the most powerful warriors in all of Greece.

It is true that Sparta did not suffer heavy losses in the Greco-Persian Wars.

However, as King Stobius annihilated the 30 million-strong Persian army and captured the Persian King Xerxes, King Stobius's reputation completely overwhelmed Leonidas.

Even in Sparta, few people dared to stand up and support King Strobius if they wanted to fight against him.

This kind of awe-inspiring feeling, awe-inspiring without even getting angry, has always been what Leonidas inflicted on his opponents!

He never imagined that one day someone would use the same trick on him.

What's more troublesome is that with the death of Agamemnon, Leonidas' most steadfast ally, Achaea, has begun to change its attitude.

Two men, Enomaei and Gannicus, who were said to have escaped from Rome beyond the Western Sea, quickly rose to prominence in Achaia.

Both of them seemed to admire King Strobius very much, completely ignored the threats from Sparta, and firmly opposed continuing to oppose Strobius.

This driving force encouraged the originally less resolute Peloponnesian League powers such as Argos, Corinth, and Megara, and they also became ambiguous and unwilling to fight against Sparta and Stobi.

As a result, Leonidas could only rely on his own 300 guards.

Relying on such a small number of people to fight against the tens of millions of troops heading south is simply courting death!

If he didn't know that he and King Stobi had already torn their relationship apart, he would die miserably even if he surrendered.

Leonidas has already run to his knees and begged for forgiveness from King Stobi!

A few days later, a huge fleet sailing south by sea arrived ahead of Alexander's army.

The landing port chosen by Xia Zhe was Salamis, where he had met Leonidas.

Once again setting foot in the most prosperous area of ​​Greece, Xia Zhe couldn't help but feel in high spirits.

Similarly, with the arrival of Stobi's six million expeditionary forces, all the countries of the Peloponnesian League started to flatter!

In some countries, the kings come in person, bringing precious gifts, to pay homage to King Stobi!

Some countries sent their most eloquent envoys with their most beautiful princesses to serve King Stobi.

In this happy life with people following him during the day and flowers at night, Xia Zhe continued to travel south along the land at a leisurely pace.

They crossed the Isthmus of Corinth and entered the city of Argos, which borders Sparta.

A day later, Alexander led seven or eight million cavalry and light infantry and arrived at Argos.

At this time, no one in the Peloponnesian League was willing to support Leonidas.

Knowing that the situation was hopeless, Leonidas could only escape from Sparta with his 300 personal soldiers and run to the west of the continent.

When the Spartan people heard that the king had escaped, who had been a little embarrassed, let go and clearly joined King Stobi.

Without encountering any resistance, Xia Zhe easily entered the city of Sparta.

Xia Zhe felt it was a bit unreal that he would be able to stand in the palace of this city which was known as the most powerful city in the world so soon.

"Your Majesty! Enomai and Gannicus have come to see you!"

Someone was talking at the door. It was Spartacus who had followed Xia Zhe all the way south.

Hearing this, Xia Zhe turned around and saw Spartacus and two very strong men hugging each other tightly.

"My king doesn't know! Enomai and Gannicus, they were both slaves who followed me to resist the Roman tyranny! After the uprising failed, we sailed out to sea together, but went in different directions. I was lucky to join Stobi, but they ended up in Achaia. We didn't expect to meet again here, and we are both very happy!" Seeing Xia Zhe's confused look, Spartacus explained.

Are you three from Rome?

Very good!

I was in need of people familiar with the situation in the Apennines. These two, Ant and Thirstless, arrived at the perfect time.

"Great! Since you are Spartacus's comrades, you must be strong people worthy of reliance. I have a difficult task that requires the participation of people who are familiar with the situation in the Apennines. You will follow me from now on!" Xia Zhe said happily.

Enomayi and Gannics were very excited to receive praise from King Stobi upon their first meeting.

Especially from King Stobi's words, they heard that the king intended to send troops to the Apennines. The three people, including Spartacus, were even more eager.

All three were losers in the Roman uprising, and they watched as batches of their comrades fell under the Roman knives.

Knowing that King Stobius, known as the most powerful ruler in Greek history, intended to send troops to Rome, the three of them felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for revenge.

Not to mention that King Stobi was willing to entrust him with such an important task.

Even if King Stobi doesn't offer any benefits, he still wants the three of them to risk their lives. As long as they can make the Romans suffer, the three of them are willing to do it!

Three days later, with the pacification of the Spartan region, the old Peloponnesian League was dissolved.

Instead, a new system was established with the King of Stobius as the core, unifying the entire Greece.

Under this system, Xia Zhe, as the co-leader, actually became the emperor of Greece.

He enfeoffed princes in all directions.

The princes from all directions also ruled over a large number of small countries.

The entire Greek world achieved unprecedented unity.
