"You mean, all the former cities of Major are under your control? Haven't other surrounding forces come to rob them?" Achilles asked in surprise.
"Rob? Of course they want to rob! But before they can rob, they have to defeat my brothers first!" A barbarian leader answered proudly.
"That's right! Agrian in the east sent 20,000 soldiers to take over my city. Don't look at the fact that we only have more than 3,000 people. We can beat those young soldiers into pieces with just one battle!" Another barbarian leader laughed.
"Yes, yes! It's almost the same on my side. The Mogai Federation sent 15,000 heavy infantrymen. But they were defeated by my less than 5,000 battle-hardened warriors!" someone echoed.
"That's me too!"
"That's me too!"
Everyone interrupted.
Achilles was filled with emotion upon hearing this.
After their own training and a series of bloody battles, these mercenary teams have grown up.
Compared with these bloodthirsty wolves, the armies of those city-states and tribes were like sheep and were completely unable to defeat them.
"General! We've all raised the Stoby flag in the city, eagerly awaiting the swift arrival of the Stoby army! We heard your legion has already set out eastward, so we've all come to report to you!"
Achilles was sighing when the mercenary leaders started shouting again.
What?
Are you all using the Stoby banner?
What's going on? Could it be?
"Are you trying to say that you all want to join Stoby? And bring a city of Big Metalli with you?"
Achilles suppressed his inner excitement and tried to ask calmly.
"Yes! We all want to return to the arms of Stobi! General, do you know that the years we spent under your command were the happiest time of our lives. When Stobi was willing to take over the cities we occupied, the brothers would wake up laughing in the middle of the night. It turns out that the people of Big Metalli would also be eager for it!" The leaders answered seriously.
They didn't lie.
After a series of bloody battles and a terrible food crisis, the Damaitali region has long been turned into a hell on earth!
The people who still live on this land long for stability and a happy life with no worries about food and drink!
Through the propaganda of the leaders, both the warriors and the people knew that Stobi was a paradise!
If Stoby is willing to take over his city, everyone will certainly be happy to do so!
"Very good! Stoby is worthy of your trust!"
After listening to the leaders' introduction, Achilles made a quick decision.
He immediately sent a messenger to inform Odysseus who was following behind him of the new situation.
Then, several teams of 100 men were separated from the legion. Following several barbarian leaders, they hurried back to the cities they had occupied and swore Stobi's promise.
Achilles himself reorganized his troops and continued to advance rapidly, traveling eastwards to look for the main forces of other forces that were interested in getting involved in Major Metari.
Many days passed, and of the eleven completed cities in the Metalli area, ten had been taken by Stoby.
Only the easternmost and largest city of Nessos is still being fiercely fought over by a group of chaotic forces.
The wind is cold.
On a hillside west of the city of Nessos, inside the Stobi military camp.
Achilles and Odysseus, the two key figures in the attack on Metari, were exchanging opinions.
"The barbarian area is really cold! It should be spring and blooming in Stobi, but here it's still covered with ice for thousands of miles!" Odysseus sighed.
The territory of the Metali region is very large, even larger than Macedonia, the undisputed largest country in the north!
However, this place is vast and sparsely populated, with only eleven cities within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers.
The others are small strongholds with a population of less than 10,000.
If it weren't for the guidance and coordination of those barbarian mercenary teams, Stoby's expeditionary force would never have been able to get here.
When they saw the walls of Nessus, Achilles and Odysseus couldn't help but hug each other.
Both of them were extremely excited!
I know that this will be recorded in great detail in history thousands of years from now!
Because, from ancient times to the present.
The armies of civilized people have never penetrated so far into the barbarian lands!
Even the so-called invincible Macedonia has never achieved this!
Of course, both of them knew it very well.
All of this is not due to how strong one's own abilities are, but entirely due to the king's strategic planning!
If Stobi had not rested and recuperated in advance, how could he have produced so much food to win people's hearts?
same.
If the king had not planted those few seeds of mercenaries in the wheat tower in advance, how could the two of them have traveled so smoothly and easily?
Back then, when the king decided to allow the retired barbarian soldiers to take away 50,000 weapons, the two of them had strongly opposed it together!
Looking back now, it makes me feel so embarrassed!
Not to mention, Little McTally's defeat itself was simply a plot by the king to shift the blame!
It is because of what Wang did behind the scenes that the two of them are standing here now and making history.
"Although it may be cold, the hearts of all the soldiers are burning! This is the last and largest city in the Metali region. I, Achilles, must take it down!" Achilles answered confidently.
After several days of tug-of-war, the various forces around Nessos were quite exhausted.
On the contrary, the Stobi Legion, which had come all the way from afar after a long journey, was in excellent condition!
Odysseus attached great importance to winning people's hearts, and the barbarian leaders were quite cooperative.
Although in reality Stobi is the occupier and conqueror.
