CHAPTER XXIX

There were still more than 40 soldiers on board, the same number of sailors, and a full number of oarsmen, but they did not carry much money, and because of the flagship, there were still a few valuable ornaments and few gold and silver coins on board, but these were probably not enough to provide all the crew. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info A king has fallen to this point and he is very helpless, but now there is nothing he can do but take one step at a time.

The ship dropped anchor a stadia from the coast, because the draft of the warship was too deep. For safety, Alexander had half of his sailors and soldiers stay on board just in case. Some of the oarsmen also went ashore as porters. They went ashore in small boats, but fortunately some of them were still on board, otherwise the poor and disempowered oarsmen would have had to swim ashore.

"Yabris, now it's just you by my side, my safety is in your hands, I know you have good kung fu, I hope you have a chance to play."

"Don't worry, King, as long as I don't fall, I'll make sure you're safe. My personal honor and disgrace are nothing, even if I am a groom by your side for a lifetime, I am willing, because only you truly respect me and are willing to treat me as a friend. Arbris, who had always been a man of few words, was remarkably moved, perhaps because Alexander had touched his fervent loyalty.

"No one is allowed to cause trouble without my order later, otherwise Hugh blames the ruthlessness of military law." Alexander said to everyone.

"Yes!"

When he came to the shore, Alexander saw that the people were looking at them with fear and hostility, and that many had begun to flee in all directions. Alexander was worried that they would report to local officials, but he didn't want to kill civilians indiscriminately. I had to let my subordinates go to express their kindness, but this only made them escape faster, Alexander looked at the image of several barbarian mercenaries behind him, and then sighed helplessly, regretting that he had brought them out together, so he simply ignored the reaction of those civilians.

After walking a long way, they found a tavern after they were far from the sea. At first, the boss and many guests were shocked to see them dressed in military uniforms and a few red-haired ghosts around them. However, after Alexander's patient explanation and comfort, they slowly relaxed. So the people began to drink and eat meat, and there was a lot of food, in addition to bread, cereal, olives, lamb, rabbit, some vegetables and abundant seafood. What made Alexander happiest was that water was also available, and the Greeks rarely drank water, believing that water was harmful to their health and would quench their thirst only when there was nothing to drink. Alexander, on the other hand, did not like to drink, he drank water when he was thirsty, and he asked the boss to boil the water and bring it to him, so that everyone could quench their thirst and warm up, and each took what he needed.

"Your Majesty, we-"

"Shhh

However, this action attracted the attention of a person at the next table, and when he saw that there were only two people at Alexander's table, he took the initiative to come over.

"Brother, can I sit down?" The stranger said.

Alexander looked at the person in front of him, and saw that the other party was of medium height, in his early twenties, with an elegant and majestic temperament. Although he was surprised by his actions, he didn't think much about it, and nodded and motioned for him to sit down.

"I don't know where Your Excellency called?"

Alexander and Abris looked at each other, and Arbris said, "We have come from Greece, and this is my master." We were shipwrecked here, what is this place? ”

"This is Termesos." After speaking, he turned his head to Alexander and said, "The little brother is the master of this large group of people at such a young age, I admire it!" ”

Alexander was shocked when he heard the stranger say that this was Termesos, but before he could think about it, he felt the stranger's vicious eyes, and said, "I have become their master not because of my age, but because I am a nobleman, and because of my father's power, that they have allegiance to me. ”

"Hehe, what you said is true, but I see how there are red-haired people among your subordinates, as far as I know, they should be barbarians north of Macedonia, either Thracians or Bactrian people."

Alexander didn't expect the other party to be so knowledgeable, and knew in his heart that the other party must not be an ordinary person, and he was equipped with a sword, so he was probably also a soldier. Although I thought a lot in my heart, it was also a moment: "Hehe, yes, some of them are Trazians, some are Tribalys, and even Illyrians. ”…,

"Oh? I didn't expect your subordinates to come from so many places, I look at them, they are simply professional mercenaries, it seems that your identity is extraordinary! ”

"Hahaha!" The young man was laughing, and Alexander was laughing, but Alexander was laughing fakely, and his mind was spinning wildly, thinking about who the other was.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud bang came from the door, followed by a group of officers and soldiers pouring in.

"It's them, just coming from the sea, on a huge warship, yes, a warship, can you imagine? It was bigger than any five-row galleys I had ever seen, about twenty cubits high, and how terrible you say! ”

"What, twenty cubits are so high, you kid's brain is burned out, aren't you?" The leader looked at the messenger next to him in surprise and said.

"No, no, I swear to Zeus that it's so high that if not, I'll be food for the Minotaur."

"Nonsense, the Minotaur was killed by Ares a long time ago, don't talk nonsense here." After saying that, the leader of the group looked at Alexander and his men, and said playfully, "Hey! It doesn't matter where you come from, whether you're red-haired or yellow-haired, you're going to be out of luck if you meet me Magris. Those who know each other hand over their weapons and take them with their hands tied, so that they can suffer less, or they will hang you all one by one! ”

A few barbarians didn't know what he was talking about, but it didn't look like a good thing to say, and they picked up their axes and were about to chop them, but they were quickly stopped by Abris on the side. Alexander said slowly: "I think you have misunderstood, we don't have any malicious intentions, don't say it yet, please ask your subordinates to come in, drink some wine to warm up first, we definitely don't want to resist arrest, I want to make friends with you It's too late!" After saying that, Alexander touched his pocket and laughed happily, but no one knew that there was already a murderous intention hidden in that childish smile.

"Since you know each other so well, let the brothers come in, and have a drink first." After listening to Alexander's words, the anger on Margris's face disappeared halfway.

After saying that, all the soldiers outside also ran in without landing. Alexander invited them to sit down in the middle, and the messenger sat down with Magris.

As soon as everyone sat down, Alexander made his intentions clear: "Unfortunately, today is a sad day for you Magris, because you have met me, Alexander, and because of your rudeness, you are doomed to bad luck today. You're going to see Hades soon, and you probably don't want to see him yet, but you have to. ”

"Damn, you're fooling me, brothers, do it!" Before Alexander could finish speaking, Margris was already furious, and he felt that he was too ashamed to be played by a child, and that he would be laughed at if he spoke out. But before he could finish speaking, several of his brothers had fallen in a pool of blood, and a few red-haired barbarians had already split them in half, and when the others saw it, they could not hold the weapons in their hands steadily, and Margris was also shocked when he saw it, but there was no way, if he himself was afraid, I am afraid that it would be a problem to escape. So he pretended to be calm and said: "What are you afraid of, I didn't have long eyes and was cut in half, do you want to be like them?" If you don't want to, kill it! ”

After saying that, the two sides began to fight, but how could the small soldiers in this country be able to defeat the Macedonian soldiers who had experienced a lot of battles. It's okay to bully the common people at ordinary times, but it's not like being cut like vegetables when you have these elite tricks. Although Alexander's side was small, he quickly reversed the numerical disadvantage. At this time, Margris shouted, "Catch the child, he is their head!" Then the crowd flocked to Alexander.

Alexander had also seen the world, so he ignored them, and sat by the wall while eating and watching, and the young people on the side couldn't help but admire him when he saw that a child was so calm in the face of such a scene, and they also expected that he must not be an ordinary person.
