Next to the ruined walls of Nessus.
After several rounds of bloody battles, the warriors from Tree finally won!
Gasping for breath, they looked smug, looking forward to finally taking over the famous city of Nessos.
"There are still enemies!"
The sentry's terrified cry rang out.
The warriors turned around and immediately discovered that on the western hillside, a regiment of heavy infantry in an unusually neat formation was charging at them at full speed.
"Where did this army come from? Also, why are their weapons and armor so strange in color?" a Treae warrior asked in surprise.
This army seemed completely different from ordinary heavy infantry.
Silver helmets, silver armor, silver shields, and even the tips of the spears they held were silver.
It looks extremely terrifying on the snowy ground!
As soon as the battle started, a greater sense of terror came over me!
No matter how hard their warriors' spears and swords attacked, they could not penetrate the silver shields of the opposing soldiers!
On the contrary, the silver spear tip on the opposite side was invincible, causing the blood on their side to flow like a river!
"Oh my God! It's the Silver Shield Spearmen! They must be the Macedonian Silver Shield Spearmen!"
Some Treae warriors let out desperate cries.
Silver Shield Spearmen!
Upon hearing this terrifying name, the fighting spirit of the Treae soldiers disappeared without a trace in an instant.
They rushed to escape, not even having the courage to look back.
Complete victory!
A true victory!
After receiving the report that none of his own men had died but the 28,000 veterans of Treae had been completely defeated, Achilles felt a surge of pride in his heart!
Who dares to believe it!
Less than a year ago, my Stoby Army was a weakling that was bullied by everyone!
But now, even in close combat, even in a face-to-face dialogue, it is already so difficult for the enemy to kill even one of our soldiers!
All of this is brought to us by the king!
Who says that the era of miracles in this world is long gone?
With the king, new miracles are being born every day!
A few days later, news of what happened in the Metali region reached Macedonia.
Alexander, who was still feeling very proud of his conspiracy and was glad to have eliminated a strong opponent, suddenly became nervous.
He hurried into the palace to meet Philip, hoping to persuade his father to suspend his struggle for supremacy in the south and completely solve the problem of Stobi first!
"Father! Do you understand? The food crisis has caused the Maitali to collapse. However, Stobi suddenly invaded the north and almost swallowed up the entire Maitali region in one gulp! All our hard work has been in vain!"
As soon as he saw Philip, Alexander couldn't help but shout.
"My son, you are right. The collapse of Little Tally has indeed benefited Stoby the most. So, do you want to send troops to attack it again?" Philip said with a smile.
"Of course! We must not let Stobi expand any further! In order to deal with it, I suggest stopping our march south to Mount Olympus, transferring the main force of our army northward, and completely destroying Stobi." Alexander nodded heavily.
"You think too highly of Stoby!"
Philip shook his head.
"My son, you know that it's true that Stoby took the opportunity to annex the Little Big Tarli! It's also true that this move was beyond our expectations! In fact, it's even true that the combined territory of the Little Big Tarli is larger than that of Macedonia! But I have to tell you that Stoby has made a big mistake!"
"Made a big mistake?" Alexander asked in surprise.
"Yes!" Philip laughed.
Then he spoke slowly and said something.
Throughout history, the civilized world has always been far stronger than barbarian forces.
However, why has no one ever annexed the northern barbarians?
That’s because, although the barbarian land is vast, it is sparsely populated and not suitable for growing crops.
The heavy infantry corps that are invincible in the civilized world are not suitable for use in barbarian areas.
There are not enough resources to support it, so it is impossible to achieve scale.
It is even more impossible to achieve rapid maneuvering.
For example, it would take heavy infantry half a month to travel from Stobi to Nessos without stopping.
It’s been so long, if something really big happened, the opportunity would be gone!
Therefore, the ones who roamed the barbarian areas were always the mobile and flexible light infantry and light cavalry!
The number of individual troops is also extremely limited.
These small forces can be brought together for a short period of time to capture a large target.
But once they complete their mission, they will break up into small pieces and scatter in a few days!
The Second Prince of Little McTally mistakenly wanted to concentrate manpower to solve the problem once and for all, which led to the food crisis.
Now, the Stobi heavy infantry, after marching thousands of kilometers, seemed to have captured Nessos.
But Philip thought that this was tantamount to repeating the mistakes of the Second Prince!
In fact, Stobi is not even as good as the Second Prince!
At least, the Second Prince is a native of the barbarian tribe and has a natural affinity.
What is Stoby?
An invader!
A conqueror who does not belong to the barbarian world!
Even if the barbarians are temporarily subdued, they will surely rise up as soon as they recover!
By then, Stoby would understand why all those heroes who once wanted to unify the north ended up with bad results.
After hearing Philip's words, Alexander nodded.
He understood that his father was right.
Throughout history, there have been many powerful rulers who intended to conquer barbarian regions, but they all ultimately failed due to their inability to adapt to the local climate and environment.
Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Macedonia never thought of going north to occupy the barbarian areas.
Going south to fight for supremacy has been my father’s unchanging national policy for many years.
Moreover, my father said this with a bit of helplessness.
The main Macedonian army had already crossed Mount Olympus. If they were to return now, the invisible losses would be huge.
I want to use military force against the South again, but I don’t know when to postpone it!
My father is already quite old.
He certainly hopes to achieve some real accomplishments in his lifetime and go down in history!
Fighting Stoby or conquering the northern barbarians are not considered great achievements in my father's mind!
Since Stoby has already done something wrong, I will try my best to bring him down by non-war means.
Alexander thought to himself.
at the same time.
In the meeting hall of Stobi Palace.
Xia Zhe was angry!
Looking at the excited Prime Minister and the High Priest in front of him, Xia Zhe was very angry!
"Who allowed Achilles and Odysseus to lead the troops north! Call them back, immediately! Right now!" Xia Zhe roared.
These men are so outrageous!
As soon as I see there are bargains to be found in the north, I move so quickly!
Nouveau riche! A complete nouveau riche mentality!
Have you asked me?
You're actually still carrying out the Long March! You even snatched Nessus! Are you so great?
Is this the rhythm of wanting to be the barbarian king?
If you do this, my Stobi territory will be bigger than Macedonia!
Philip would be a fool if he wasn't nervous!
Isn't this forcing Macedonia to send troops to attack me and then hang me?
No, we must find a way to spit out these new territories!
Spit it out quickly!
