Chapter 154: The Macedonian-Euphratic War



Especially Hector, he suddenly felt that he must hold on to the big tree of Stoby tightly!

Now that Tarkaces has retreated, many tribal leaders below have become estranged from him. That is a great opportunity!

If we can seize the opportunity to capture Adlicia and present a gift to King Stobi, it will be a great thing for both Stobi and Troy!

If Troy can take over the land south of Adlicia, it can even open up a passage with Stobi and become a real neighbor!

It will also be quicker to enlist Stoby's help then!

Thinking of this, Hector quickly pulled Achilles aside and started discussing!

Take the opportunity to capture Adlicia!

Achilles' eyes lit up when he heard such a suggestion.

Achilles also received the information that Tarquès retreated in disgrace and a large number of tribal cavalry had left him.

If we streamline the troops at hand and form a combat-ready corps of 400,000 to 500,000, it should not be difficult.

If Troy could also take action in the east, attacking from both the east and the west, it would not be impossible to eat up a large part of Adelica's territory!

As for Macedonia in the southwest, Achilles has temporarily reduced its threat.

Because Achilles had received accurate intelligence.

Now in Macedonia, the defeated Eubia army is causing chaos!

At this moment, Alexander was unable to take care of himself and had no ability to covet external territories.

At this moment, it was different from the joy of Koenness.

In the cities east and south of Macedonia, flames shot up into the sky and cries of grief were heard everywhere.

Hippias, realizing that he had been deceived by Seleucus and still having an army of more than 800,000 at his command, launched a frenzied revenge on Macedonia.

He hates it so much!

I hate myself for losing 40% of my military strength in vain!

I hate that my dearest brother died in Stoby!

What’s even more annoying is that the plan to attack the Great North for the third time was aborted again!

I have been very cautious!

I have been taking every step carefully!

Still suffered a crushing defeat, all because of Macedonia's false information!

Hippias will never give up until Macedonia is properly punished!

The sudden rebellion of the ally Eubia army caught the Macedonian cities to the east and south off guard!

If we had known this earlier, 90% of Alexander's defense deployment would have been placed along the Vardar River in the north.

In just a few days, Macedonia lost half of its territory.

It was only thanks to the imperial guards in the capital Pella that they stubbornly withstood the repeated attacks of the Eubia army and prevented the situation from deteriorating further.

With his hometown about to be lost, Alexander had no choice but to recall hundreds of thousands of elite troops from the Northern Expedition to counterattack Eubia.

Relying on stronger combat power and home advantage, after three major battles, Alexander finally regained the initiative.

The Macedonian army grows larger and larger as the battle goes on!

The Ubia army is getting smaller and smaller as the battle goes on!

Knowing that he could not cause any big trouble, Hippias decided to go all out. He ordered his troops to plunder all the captured Macedonian cities and then burn them all down.

Until the end, he regretfully retreated back to Eubia from the northern entrance of Mount Olympus with the last less than 200,000 people!

Although Macedonia finally survived this catastrophe, it did not lose any territory.

But the traditionally more prosperous south and east suffered a devastating blow!

As a result, Macedonia's national strength took a sharp turn for the worse and it completely degenerated into a medium-power country!

Alexander was filled with regret, and Seleucus felt helpless.

Next, the two received news that Adlicia was defeated and even Koennais, the westernmost part of Stobi, was not taken.

While feeling deeply moved, Alexander and Seleucus both understood in their hearts.

The Great North, already Stoby's Great North.

Macedonia, it will be over sooner or later!

"That crazy girl Siren is still staying in Adelcia and refusing to come back! My king, please let me go to Askuma, the capital of Adelcia, and bring her back!"

Seleucus made a proposal to Alexander.

Having completely lost confidence in the struggle for hegemony, Alexander nodded dejectedly in agreement.

Seleucus was overjoyed and set off immediately.

Of course, he wasn't going to capture his sister, but he needed to find a wise leader and start a new career!

Alexander has fallen.

If you follow him to surrender to Stoby, you will be nothing more than a subordinate of his!

This is definitely not what Seleucus pursues!

If I wanted to join Stobi, why didn't I go there myself? Why did I follow Alexander?

With this in mind, Seleucus broke away from Macedonia and headed straight for Botaitia, the new capital of Stoica.

Of course, Xia Zhe is not in Botaitia now.

He rushed to Coenness and praised Spartacus, who had just been released from prison, in public.

Xia Zhe received countless flowers and applause!

This feeling was something he had never experienced before, and it made him feel quite elated.

Next, it’s time to distribute the money.

Originally, the promise was made by Spartacus, and Xia Zhe also intended to let Spartacus preside over it.

However, after this imprisonment, Spartacus no longer dared to ignore the king.

He made all kinds of excuses and refused to go on stage. He insisted that the king come out and give money to the soldiers who participated in the war.

After some reluctance, Xia Zhe showed off his talent again and went on stage to distribute rewards to hundreds of thousands of troops!

The shouts of "Long live our king, long live our king" resounded throughout the venue from beginning to end.

Xia Zhe was so excited that he changed his mind temporarily.

Not only was an extra gold coin given to everyone who participated in the defense of Coenus, but even the 1.6 million soldiers brought to the rescue by Achilles received a gold coin each.

At this moment, everyone went crazy!

Everyone cheered as if they were celebrating a grand festival!

Not only did they take the lead, but everyone knelt down to pay tribute to Xia Zhe and made a solemn promise. For the rest of their lives, they would devote all their strength to Stoby!

After the conference, as expected, there were grand celebrations throughout the city.

Xia Zhe and his many subordinates ate and drank to their heart's content until nightfall, when they returned to their room drunk.

When he woke up the next day, Xia Zhe silently calculated in his mind and felt a little regretful.

Yesterday, I was so impulsive that I actually gave away money to build twenty sea fortresses!

He secretly warned himself to take it easy in the future and not get so excited.

Glancing across the desk, two documents caught Xia Zhe's attention.

One was a plan jointly compiled by Achilles and Hector to capture Adelcia, hoping to gain the king's approval.

The other was intelligence about Macedonia, which reported that after a bloody battle, Macedonia had defeated an army of over 800,000 Euphrates and driven them back south of Mount Olympus.

Very good!

Macedonia and Eubia broke up again!

This way, I won’t be attacked from both sides!

Xia Zhe had no interest in the plan to conquer the barbarian lands. He only cared about Macedonia and Eubia.

Upon learning that the two families had fallen out, Xia Zhe felt unusually relieved.
