What was most infuriating was that Stoby actually made a prompt decision and gave the five cities that originally belonged to Big Metalli to the barbarian leader.
These barbarian leaders suddenly became kings of their cities and were very grateful to Stobi.
Originally, they just turned a blind eye to the rumors about Bristolby.
But after becoming kings, they all began to crack down severely!
Anyone who says anything bad about Stoby will be severely punished!
Many of the spies he sent were exposed and brutally suppressed!
These five barbarian cities that originally had a cold relationship with Stobi suddenly became Stobi's staunch allies!
I heard that they also formed a Stobi Federation and respected King Stobi as the common leader!
Alexander, who thought he had captured the enemy easily, felt deeply frustrated!
A few days later in the morning.
As soon as he got up and had breakfast in the palace, Odysseus' resignation letter was delivered to Xia Zhe.
Xia Zhe was quite annoyed that his most trusted confidant didn't want to come back.
However, he is not annoyed that Odysseus is unwilling to participate in the management of Stobi.
Stoby is unattended and in a mess, which is better for Xia Zhe.
What annoyed him was that Odysseus also had to do a task he had given him - digging tunnels!
The tunnel hasn't been dug yet, but you're not coming back. Where will you put the work the king has assigned you?
Odysseus left suddenly. Who should I entrust this half-finished project to with confidence?
when…
when…
when…
Just as I was worrying, a series of huge bells rang out from the big clock tower in the middle of the city.
Hearing this voice, Xia Zhe had not yet come to his senses, and Lillian, who was serving him, had already spoken anxiously.
"Oh no! This is an alarm! There is an invasion by foreign enemies!" said Lillian.
Foreign enemies invade!
Hearing this, Xia Zhe felt his whole body tremble instantly and he almost peed his pants!
The escape tunnel hasn't been opened yet, how come the enemy is here first!
What should I do?
With great difficulty, Xia Zhe calmed down and told Lillian to prepare the car, planning to escape from the streets again.
However, before they could pack their luggage, the Prime Minister and a group of generals arrived.
Among them was a general who was supposed to have retired.
"Your Majesty, the Macedonian army launched a sudden attack and built four pontoon bridges on the Stupala River overnight, hoping to catch us off guard!" The general spoke first.
"Fortunately. Our rural security team discovered the enemy's sneak attack in time and sent back the news before the Macedonian light cavalry arrived at the city. Now all the defensive fortifications of our city have been activated!" The city defense officer spoke second.
Build four floating bridges!
What a big deal!
Xia Zhe felt his scalp tingle when he heard this, and he was secretly calculating in his mind.
The last time Macedonia launched a surprise attack with 20,000 troops, they only used troop transport ships to transport the troops.
This time they actually built a floating bridge, and they built four of them at once.
I wonder how many troops are coming to kill us!
"The Macedonian vanguard light cavalry has a total of 30,000 troops. They have surrounded Stobi on all sides. According to my estimation, the total number of troops attacking this time may be no less than 200,000." The Prime Minister continued solemnly.
Already surrounded on all sides!
The total force is 200,000!
It’s over, it’s completely over this time!
There's no hope of escaping or fighting!
After hearing this, Xia Zhe collapsed in his chair, with only one thought in his mind.
Odysseus, I curse you!
Instead of digging my escape tunnel, what are you doing?
Even after I am hanged by the Macedonians, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!
Of course, in reality, Odysseus did not neglect the king's orders.
He never slacked off on the task of digging tunnels.
It’s just because the road to be dug is too long and part of it is in a hard mining area, so it has never been dug through.
Wang sat with his back to the sun, motionless and silent, and his expression could not be seen at all.
All the ministers felt that the king was using his composure to stabilize people's hearts!
Since the city walls were expanded and a large number of Greek fire weapons were equipped, the generals of Stobi were not worried about the Macedonian attack.
Deep down, some even hoped that the Macedonian army would come and give them a hard time, so they could gain some military merit!
However, no one expected that a terrifying army would come from Macedonia!
This kind of crushing power is simply beyond the imagination of the small town of Stoby.
How can this be an attack on the city?
It's obvious that they are here to massacre the city!
Everyone's confidence began to be greatly shaken!
Even the Prime Minister, who personally presided over the construction of Greek fire and knew its terrifying power, was unsure!
At the critical moment, Wang gave everyone courage with his silence and calmness.
Everyone present was infected.
The king is omnipotent, and every step he takes is ahead of the Macedonians!
This time will be no exception!
With the King here, what do we have to fear?
Let the Macedonian army come and fight until they are beaten to a bloody pulp!
"Your Majesty, your subjects understand. Let's split up and act now. We must let the Macedonians know that Stobi is not so easily bullied!"
The Prime Minister bowed deeply and said in a decisive tone.
After saying this, he took the lead and walked out.
"Please rest assured, my king! In this battle, I will definitely bring glory to our city!"
"Please, my king, look forward to news of my victory!"
"Our army will win!"
"The city of Stobi is the grave of the Macedonian army!"
…
Seeing the Prime Minister's statement, the generals' morale was high! They all made bold statements, then bowed and withdrew, beginning to make arrangements!
