"Aren't we supporting them enough? Antioch also wondered if they would have survived until now without our financial help over the years. He had to drag me into the war to be satisfied. "Garrus.

"We in Macedonia are now a stable and powerful country. The whole country lives happily. This is the result of the wise decision of the royal brother, and the kingdom has avoided several wars in the past ten years.

It's just that it is a pity that a friendly nation that now also reveres Greek civilization is about to be destroyed in the East. There is one less country in the world that pursues truth, and the influence of Hellenism is about to fade away in the East. "Oonos.

"Do you think I'm not in a hurry to see Seleucus' situation? But such a large empire has been encroached upon into a two-city country, and they are now nothing more than a kingdom. We're far away in Europe, and I'm afraid we can't help it. Ten years ago, my policy was peace, and it is still true today, 10 years later. Moreover, you know best what the Gauls are doing, and the barbarians are pressing on one by one, and the widows are worried that there will be another war in Apollonia. How can we have the energy to take care of Xiaoya's affairs. ”

"Sometimes, if you don't look for something, things will come to you. You can't hide. I don't dare say that we will do any good to help Seleucus, but I am sure that if Seleucus is destroyed, it will do us no good.

It's not that I personally have any affection for Seleucus, it's a matter of big picture strategy. Seleucus was a behemoth before, an empire that dominated the East. We can't control it, take advantage of it. Howe is unequivocal in saying that it used to be a potential competitor to us, and it could be a very difficult enemy.

Now that Seleucus was weakened, there was no longer a threat, and he was very weak and desperate for help. By this time, Seleucus had become an ideal ally of Macedonia. It's important to us, and it should exist.

The Seleucid kingdom is a pawn in our interests in the East, and we can use it to hinder the excessive power of the Eastern nations. Is it clear enough to limit the development of potential adversaries?

It is only a matter of time before we get involved in oriental affairs, and we must make arrangements in advance. Who else can Macedonia be trusted in the East now? Egypt? The Egyptian pharaohs were arrogant and arrogant, and they believed in otherworldly energy, which is incompatible with our admiration for humanity and nature; Pontus? Heretics, we have no communication other than dealings with each other. Parthia and Armenia are even more alien peoples.

In this way, Seleucus seemed much more gracious. This manifested itself in many ways: the language was communicated in Greek, the same beliefs, and together they contributed to the spread of Greek civilization. We call it like-mindedness. The historical origins are even more intimate. The founders of Macedonia and Seleucids were once comrades-in-arms, and prominent generals under Alexander III the Great. The two countries were the first to establish trade relations and have maintained them to this day.

Looking at the vast land of the East, it doesn't matter to us for the time being that whoever defeats anyone, but Seleucus is indispensable.

I know that His Majesty's concern is the risk of being drawn into war with Pontus and Egypt after forming an alliance. I don't think there is a need to worry, the armies of the eastern countries have cavalry as the main force and are capable of action. On this basis, their situation is also volatile. Egypt and Pontus are guarding against each other, and bilateral relations are already very tight.

Do you think they will provoke such a behemoth as the Kingdom of Macedonia? Even if they have a heart, they are powerless. No, on the contrary, their messengers will bow down to your knees with a smile on their faces, begging you to maintain trade with them. Even wanted to enlist the support of the Kingdom of Macedonia, even if it was friendly neutrality.

Even if this is an assumption, then the actual situation is just as Brother Wang said, we are far apart, and there is a sea barrier. The war of Seleucids will not burn on our land. It is a taboo for the division to meet the soldiers, not to mention the discord between the neighbors.

So what's wrong with forming an alliance. First of all, it is understandable to increase the prestige of Seleucus politically, and to support the faction of the same origin as a friend of the Greek world.

As long as the alliance between Macedonia and Seleucus is announced, it is believed that with the national strength of Macedonia, Pontus and Egypt must have some scruples when they act again. And then we're still behind Seleucus, we can do a little bit more. It is enough to ensure the existence of this reliable ally in the East. "Oonos is instilling his brother Guerras with pragmatism again.

"We Macedonians are upright, brave and have a sense of justice. I didn't say I wouldn't help them. Speaking of kissing, I think it's advisable. Everyone is here, and An You will send it back again? I think the princess of Seleucid is good, worthy of the title of the first beauty in Asia, with an extraordinary temperament at a young age, and a noble appearance. We are old, so let the young people do this kind of combination of East and West exchanges.

I had already thought that this child would be seventeen years old, the same age as my grandson Podarerios, and that I would let Princess Seleucus marry my future king of Macedonia. It just so happens that the two sides are the right match, and their identities match. ”

"Since His Majesty and the Prince have agreed unanimously to form an alliance and affinity. It's a good thing. Then he officially informed the Seleucid princes and told them to be prepared. "The Minister of the Interior, Karas.

"Hmm."

Garas sends a quick letter to Aloyos informing him of his decision. At the same time, Podarre Rios immediately set off from Rome and returned to the royal palace of Thessaloniki, the capital of Macedonia, to marry the Seleucid princess Athena. The king would personally officiate at the wedding, formally acceding to Seleucus' request for an alliance.

This exotic princess was born beautiful, and the country is beautiful. She has a slender figure and a graceful figure. With noble Macedonian blood mixed with pre-Persian ancestry, her mother Herrick was a Babylonian beauty.

The Seleucid princess had a beautiful Greek name, Athena. She is the jewel of King Antioch, a collection of thousands of favors, known as the current number one beauty in Asia. The facial features are delicate and charming, with the delicate beauty of Oriental appearance, and there are also clear lines of Westerners. In short, it is the granddaughter-in-law of the king of Macedonia.

Originally, Antiochus was reluctant to sacrifice Athena to Guerras, because he also knew that Gueras was notoriously lustful. For the sake of national interests, for revenge, Antioch chose to form an alliance.

Athena is Dmitryk's youngest daughter. She was accompanied to Macedonia by her mother, Herrick, who took care of her; There was also the second brother, Kashande, whose task was to lead the samurai in charge of escorting them. He then negotiated with Macedonia on behalf of Seleucus and asked for an alliance. Antiochus brought them a quarter of the gold coins and curiosities of the treasury, and he gambled almost everything to seek Macedonian friendship.

It is worth mentioning that without the help of the Greeks on the way, I am afraid that Seleucus's last hope would have been killed on the way. The motives of the Greeks could not be more obvious.

They wanted to return to the Greek world and join the Greek Alliance.
