"In that case, it's really important. You should have told me a long time ago. Otherwise, I thought you were so brave and ruthless that you had to destroy Scythia to do this. I have heard of the Scythians for a long time, and I have heard that they are extremely bloody and barbaric. They should be taught a lesson. ”

"As the kingdom grows, its influence will increase. The tentacles of interest it pulls are naturally all over the world. At this time, you can't hide from something, because you can't hide from it. If you blindly escape from reality, in the end, you will miss the opportunity because you are not active enough, and you can only be led by the enemy.

As far as the civilized world as we know it today, the Mediterranean Sea is at the center. As a major country, it must grasp those important winning points in order to advance and retreat freely.

One of them is our homeland, the Greek Peninsula, which is an important transit port and strategically located. The economic and military role is significant.

Therefore, the third brother Damasos will be stationed as the governor of the peninsula for a long time, which is the arrangement of his father. ”

"It turns out that his old man has already set his sights on the chess game of the world."

"He told me many times that our real enemy could be in the East. You may encounter a behemoth, a ferocious enemy.

I was also asking, 'What are we going to do against it?'"

He said, 'Make yourself equally strong!' ’

I think that although this behemoth has not yet taken shape, it was born after the battle for supremacy in the East, and it is the winner.

We have to find a way to restrain its hands and feet, and get it in its throat.

It may be necessary to control Asia Minor, but I think the center of the East is in the Crescent on the east coast of the Mediterranean, where there is an ancient holy city called Jerusalem.

I think this is the center of the East, the key to being able to control the East.

I also heard that there was a temple in Jerusalem.

Once built by King Solomon of Israel, he creatively inspired himself from a dream in his heart to show his fear and worship of the LORD God. Later, the Pharaoh of Egypt enlisted the power of other civilizations to defeat the Jews and destroy the state of Israel. Capture the holy city of Jerusalem. ”

"Where did you hear that? The mysterious stories of the East are too unimaginable to be believed. ”

"These are normal chronicles, and it is said that there is a supernatural power buried under the temple, powerful beyond words."

"Alright, brother.

I'm a little tired. You know I'm scared to hear about these strange things, and I don't believe it.

You're interested in doing your own research, all I know is to keep every inch of the kingdom. ”

"I would say that the Caucasus is an important place, and we must completely control it!"

"How?

What kind of control do you mean by that?

Is it not enough for us to influence and control the Caucasus now that we occupy all of Ajani? ”

"Then I'll get straight to the point. We now have the city of Ajani, but there is a Parthian city in the north. It threatens the safety of our backs. For now, they share control of the northern coast of the Hecanian Sea.

In this way, our actions in the East will be constrained by them, and we will be constrained. The situation is unfavorable.

Therefore, I suggest taking Seck now, while everyone is not on their feet. ”

"I have heard that Parthia is a new country in the East, inextricably linked to the former Persian Empire.

They rose to prominence in the Eastern Wars and gained Seleucid lands in the valley of the Two Rivers.

The Parthians were good at archers, similar to the Scythian army. In addition, there is a mysterious power in the East called the Iron Cavalry. Now all the countries of the East are imitating and studying this ironclad cavalry. I mean, I don't want to have anything to do with them, even a little bit of a trade conflict. ”

"The most ferocious and combative warrior I have ever seen is the Scythian nomadic warrior. Its power lies in maneuverability, not invulnerability. The Parthian ironclad cavalry was nothing more than heavily armoured, mobility was their hard wound, and our phalanx was never afraid of cavalry.

As for the Parthian archers, their archers were completely incomparable with the Scythian archers.

Aside from the archery, the Parthian archers were nothing to fear. Lacks melee abilities. I have Scythian mercenaries in my Eastern Regiment. ”

"Labor is far away, and soldiers are taboo. I do not agree with any reckless action against Parthia, which would lead to war between the two countries. If you are not afraid of Parthian archers, then did you know that Parthia also has a mobile force called Persian archers that can be used in close combat. ”

"Big brother, you're too worried. I think that our current actions against Secker are only regional operations, and will not put us in a state of hot war with Parthia.

First, for geographical reasons, Macedonia is separated from the Parthian Mountains by heavy water, and there are many countries in between. We will not be able to start a full-scale war with them for a while.

Second, for political reasons, the situation in the battle for hegemony in the East is becoming more and more complicated, and Seleucus has been defeated, leaving only a small force. Their threat no longer exists for neighboring countries. In the later stages of the war, the old and new forces were reshuffled, and Egypt and Pontus became the new hegemonic powers. Parthia rose to prominence, and Armenia grew stronger. Numidia completely renounced its influence on East Africa.

Therefore, now that a new situation of struggle in the East has emerged, we should give Seleucus more friendship at this time. At the same time, restrictions on Greece were eased, allowing them to fully assist Pontus in the struggle with Egypt for land. It is possible that Parthia and Armenia will help Pontus against the Egyptians.

In this way, we are taking Secker with the least risk and the greatest benefit.

If we really want to intervene in the affairs of the East one day, the Caucasus will be our most justified and reliable strategic base. ”

"What the virtuous brother said is not unreasonable, and it is also a national strategic consideration. The widow now thinks that the plan you mentioned can indeed be tried. Again, Seck's plan of action. ”

"He sent Zoeros Achenos's Terris regiment to attack the city of Seker with lightning speed. It was nothing more than a moderately developed town.

Previously, the Parthians crossed the Hecanian Sea and established a stronghold there to maintain a deterrent to Scythia. Now let's pull out this wedge.

Zoe Ross has done a thorough investigation of the defenders of the city, the fortifications of the city, and our expeditionary corps is enough to outmaneuver them. According to the reported information, the current position of the main army of the native Parthia will take at least two to three months to reinforce Seke.

So we can safely get Sek. In this way, the North Caucasus will be completely consolidated, and it will become our strong outpost in the East.

It is also a strong support for us to send troops to the east. ”

"Do as you wish. Remember to ensure that I have the right to know about this matter throughout the process. ”

"Your Majesty is wise! I'll do it! ”
