"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous! I dare to go to war with Methionian because I am confident. The Holy Master has agreed to use his influence to borrow 200,000 troops from Corinth to cooperate with our army's attack from the sea!" Alexander explained with a smile.
Corinth lent us 200,000 soldiers!
Hearing this, Antigonus smiled brightly!
Corinth is one of the powerful countries in the Peloponnese region, the core of the continent!
The overall strength is several times stronger than Eubia, who blocked Philip's southward advance!
Corinth guarded the Isthmus, and not only did it have a strong army, but its navy was also ranked among the top ten in Greece.
Who would have thought that by welcoming back a Saint Master, we could get such strong support.
The era when Macedonia had to fight alone is finally gone!
"This is also thanks to me, the Saint!"
Siren, who had been sitting in the corner without saying anything, interrupted with a smile.
"Of course! Of course! With the Saint by my side, I will surely dominate the world!"
Hearing this, Alexander took two steps forward and embraced Siren in his arms!
For several days, the relationship between the two was progressing smoothly.
Now, the Siren no longer rejects Alexander's intimate behavior!
For Alexander, this was a greater achievement than conquering a large country!
Seeing this, Antigonus silently turned his head and faced the map, feeling dissatisfied.
In Antigonus's view, this so-called saint was just a conspirator with impure intentions.
Princess Ina is the real heroine!
Unfortunately, the situation changed too quickly.
The heroes are alienated, but the conspirators succeed in taking power.
I don’t know whether this is a gain or a loss?
And there is Macedonia's grand strategy.
Antigonus greatly approved of Alexander's patience.
The Great Northern Alliance is a mixed bag, and there are certainly many internal conflicts.
As long as Macedonia stabilizes its existing territory and cultivates its internal strength.
Within two years, the Great Northern Alliance will surely fall into chaos.
Throughout history, many small nations have formed alliances to fight against larger nations, but few have ultimately succeeded. This is because they lack a long-term, stable force and each nation is always pursuing its own agenda.
However, unexpectedly, once Aristotle arrived, everything went back to Philip's old ways.
I can't wait to finish this and then that!
Now we are going to go to war with the great power of Metonym!
Even with Corinth's naval reinforcements, I'm afraid it will not be an easy battle!
What's more troublesome is that Metonian is also a member of the Great Northern Alliance!
If we fight it, what will its allies do? What will Stoby do? Will he really not send troops to join the war?
Such a risk is not what a strategist would do!
Of course, Alexander had already weighed all of this in his mind.
At the beginning, when Aristotle suggested to take a good sea port first, Alexander also opposed it.
However, being older than Philip, Aristotle also felt a sense of urgency.
In order to make Macedonia believe in him and achieve great things in his lifetime, he spared no expense!
He promised to use his old face to ask his most talented disciples to send troops to help in the battle!
You know, Aristotle’s disciples are all over the world, including generals and even monarchs of powerful countries!
Under his banner, 200,000 volunteers soon gathered in Corinth and set sail north.
They came from various southern city-states and were not actually official troops of Corinth.
Seeing that the Holy Master was so powerful, Alexander certainly had no reason to hesitate.
Regardless, defeating Metonian is a great feat!
A great achievement that even my father couldn't accomplish!
With the help of the Holy Master's 200,000-man army, the chances of victory will greatly increase if we send troops to Methonian. It's worth a try!
Alexander quickly decided to fight with all his strength!
As for the Great Northern Alliance, Alexander was not worried.
The main countries of the Great Northern Alliance are all in the north and west.
If a real war breaks out, there will not be many city-states that can directly support Metoneus in the east.
Moreover, they are all small city-states with only 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers!
Macedonia has a strong foundation! Even if the offense is weak, the defense is more than enough!
The armies of the northern and western city-states really dared to take the opportunity to attack Macedonia.
They will definitely never come back!
After Yina left, Xia Zhe didn't feel sad for long.
Princesses from various countries arrived in Stobi again as concubines, which brought Xia Zhe a lot of happiness.
This day.
Just as he reluctantly got up from the bed, the Prime Minister came hurriedly to report that the Metonian envoy wanted to see the king urgently.
Metonian?
Hearing the name of this city-state, Xia Zhe curled his lips unconsciously.
The Great Northern Alliance was originally composed mainly of city-states to the north and west of Macedonia.
After devouring the Little Barley, integrating the three cities obtained in exchange from Treye, and having the full support of the five barbarian kings of the Big Barley, Stobi has become one of the most powerful countries in the alliance.
However, the joining of Methonian from the East broke this situation!
Although Metonian's territory was not as large as Stobi's, it lay entirely on a coastal floodplain. It had fertile land, a large population, and controlled Botaitia, the largest trading port in the Great North.
It is much more famous than a remote corner like Stobi!
As a result, Xia Zhe, the leader of the Great Northern Alliance, always feels unstable.
In addition, Methonian never sent a princess over, and only sent envoys to attend every contract signing, which was quite arrogant.
This made Xia Zhe feel even more alienated.
What's going on today? The Metonian messenger actually wants to see me alone?
What is there to talk about between two grown men?
Xia Zhe couldn't help but look puzzled.
"Your Majesty! I heard that Macedonia has assembled a large army and has captured the port of Botaitia. Methonian is under great pressure and is seeking help everywhere!" The Prime Minister whispered.
Macedonia has started sending troops to attack my allies?
And it’s a big move right from the start?
Seized the first seaport in the Great North of Metonian?
Very good!
It seems that letting Ina go is indeed very beneficial!
Xia Zhe's face lit up with joy when he heard this.
Even though his ally was attacked, the king actually looked happy. The prime minister was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.
In the Great Northern Alliance, only Metonian is significantly stronger than Stoby.
It was weakened by Macedonia, which was not good for the entire Great Northern Alliance, but it was a good thing for Stobi.
In this way, Stoby's position as the leader of the alliance will be more stable.
"Does my king mean to refuse to see him?" Thinking of this, the Prime Minister asked tentatively.
"Meet! Of course! Let's hear what he really wants!" Xia Zhe answered immediately.
It is Xia Zhe's established policy to use a group of shields to delay Alexander's unification.
But he also knows the principle of "lips and teeth are cold"!
We should try our best to make things difficult for Alexander and prevent him from unifying the country smoothly, so as to delay the process for as long as possible!
Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister bowed and left. Xia Zhe happily ate breakfast under Lillian's service.
After eating and drinking, he slowly walked to the study. The Prime Minister and the Methonian envoy had been waiting for a long time.
