However, Odysseus still had a headache.
In recent days, there has been a surge of unrest among the people of Little Maitali, with some searching for the descendants of the former royal family.
Any fool can understand what they want to do.
Odysseus investigated when he first took the wheat tali.
The only royal men in Little McTally were the old king and his two sons.
The second prince died in the chaos of war, and the old king also died of illness.
Now, only the cowardly prince is missing.
Odysseus was not too worried about this man.
He knew that His Highness was timid and playful, much like the false image King Stobi had created before ascending the throne!
Such a person is not fit to be a king.
Perhaps, if someone really found him and encouraged him to raise his arms and start a rebellion, he would be scared to death, or even give blind orders.
What Odysseus was really worried about was that those people would not be able to find the prince, declare him dead, and then find an ambitious royal family to choose a bloodline and rise up in rebellion.
They can even seek external support.
Macedonia, for example, would probably be happy to be a "beacon of justice."
That would be a big trouble for Stoby.
Therefore, it is very important to find His Highness as soon as possible and provide him with good food and drink.
As long as the eldest prince is alive, it will be illegal for other royal families to choose their own bloodline.
After slow digestion, these five barbarian cities can be truly integrated into Stobi.
The subtle details cannot be grasped accurately without giving one's all.
In view of this, Odysseus also followed Achilles's example and decided to resign from his position as Stoica political leader to the king.
Just stay in Ithaca.
Wait until the wheat thali is fully digested before leaving.
For an excellent internal affairs officer, facing such a difficult challenge is more fulfilling than always working under the king's guidance!
Odysseus has faith in himself!
In time, he will definitely be able to build a stable rear base for Stoby!
By then, Macedonia's advantage of having the north as its back and no worries will change hands.
In the battle for supremacy in the Great North, Stoby will come from behind to win!
On the southern coast of Mount Olympus.
Blood flowed like a river, and the sky and earth changed color.
Another meaningless and bitter battle!
Philip felt very sad when he saw his elite silver shield spearmen and guards cavalry being constantly consumed by the endless stream of enemy troops!
So sad!
It was obvious that the two core arms under his command were stronger than the enemy's mercenaries.
However, the absolute numerical disadvantage still made the Macedonian warriors pay with blood but failed to gain victory.
The one fighting against Macedonia was the maritime power Eubia!
Although the quality of their heavy infantry is not that good, Eubia is rich!
Making a living from maritime trade, Eubia has more than ten times the funds of Macedonia!
They can use a lot of money to recruit almost endless mercenaries to fight for them!
Philip had never expected such an outcome.
He originally thought that after years of accumulation, he had the strength to go south and compete for supremacy.
However, I never expected that we had not yet crossed Mount Olympus and entered the civilized center of the world.
He was actually blocked by a not-so-powerful Ubia!
If you can't even pass this level, how can you talk about competing for hegemony?
You know, any of the truly powerful countries in the Peloponnese region can defeat Eubia!
"Alas! Perhaps I was wrong from the beginning! If we don't pacify the Great North first, we won't have enough national strength to march south to dominate! Let's withdraw our troops first. Don't sacrifice any more of my warriors who have fought for hundreds of battles here!"
Philip sighed and made a difficult decision.
After saying this, he felt a sweet taste in his throat, and with a "wow" sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then, the whole person was about to fall.
Seeing the king's strange behavior, the attendants, who were originally suspicious, quickly helped the king into the sedan chair.
Then, the order to retreat began to spread everywhere as the messengers galloped on their horses.
Hearing this, tears welled up in Philip's eyes unconsciously.
The vivid memories of my struggle for most of my life flashed before my eyes one by one.
Finally, he closed his eyes and fell directly onto the sedan chair.
"The king has fainted! The king has fainted! Retreat immediately! Retreat immediately!"
The attendants exclaimed repeatedly, surprising the Macedonian soldiers who were fighting hard.
They had to try to break away from the Eubian mercenary group, and only then did they feel a huge fatigue and heaviness coming over them.
Everyone understands it.
This southern expedition failed!
A few days later.
After returning to Pella, Philip's health finally improved and he was able to eat and walk normally.
Without any hesitation, he gave the order immediately.
He gathered an army of 200,000, including 20,000 silver shield spearmen, and marched north to attack Stobi.
This order surprised all the legion commanders!
A full 200,000 troops!
Among them are a full 20,000 silver shield spearmen!
Oh my god!
This kind of luxurious lineup was not used by the king even when he was attacking the Alliance of Ain and Anissa!
To deal with a little Stoby,
Is it necessary?
Could it be that Wang was so frustrated fighting in the south that he wanted to massacre a city to vent his anger?
Only Alexander understood.
My father is not confused, he is very clear-headed!
The tug-of-war on Mount Olympus taught my father a lesson.
