Peleus personally chose the site where the city would be built, just east of the Thessalian tribe, near Mount Olympus.

Although Macaon was a little worried that the gods would be dissatisfied, Peleus agreed to his approach after repeated assurances that he was okay, after all, as long as the gods agreed or even just acquiesced, it would be equivalent to building the strongest wall for the Sevalians.

The Segreans had just finished a battle, and if they immediately began to build a capital city in the style of a large barracks, even people like Makaon who insisted on going through the barracks would not be happy to see it, let alone the common people.

The development method of Athens is indeed the most suitable for the development of the country at present, and the development of the economy is more important than the construction of military camps.

However, Macaon repeatedly reminded Peleus that he could not give up military affairs just because he studied Athens, and that it was necessary to build up an army quickly, even if it was not for aggression, to defend his homeland.

Athens today is a case in point.

Athens is a piece of fat, but even a big city like Sparta does not dare to open its mouth to bite, but there is a country that bullies it to death.

It's Crete!

It is said that Zeus, the lord of the gods, grew up on the island of Crete, and when he returned to Mount Olympus, Crete became an island that no one dared to conquer, and even Zeus did not allow ordinary gods to set foot here.

And now the ruler there is Minos, the son of Zeus and the mortal woman Europa!

More than a decade ago, King Minos had a son named Androgeus who was assassinated in Athens.

So Minos directly raised an army to kill Athens to avenge his son, unlike others, he was not afraid of Athena, even if he went to Zeus, he was not afraid.

For the first time, the Athenian people, who had been enjoying the protection of the goddess, were exposed defenselessly in front of the Cretan chariot, and the Athenians, who had no power to fight back, were crushed by the wheels of the Minoan king and had nowhere to survive, so they finally had to go to the temple and pray for Athena's help.

Under Athena's persuasion, Minos reluctantly sat down at the negotiating table with the Athenians.

In order to appease the anger of the Minoan king, the Athenians promised to send seven pairs of boys and girls to Crete every nine years as a tribute to the Minotaur in the Cretan labyrinth.

From this incident, the shortcomings of the city of Athens were exposed, that is, the lack of military strength.

If Athens was Sparta, no matter how angry the Minos king was, he would have to weigh whether his sword was sharp enough, but in the face of Athens, he had no scruples.

"The army must be formed, we can't be ...... like Athens," Macaon muttered, listening to Peleus's head for a while.

"Okay, okay, don't say any more, I know everything. ”

"I mean the ...... of the North"

Seeing that Macaon couldn't listen to him at all, Peleus quickly changed the subject.

"Makaan, have you arranged the shelters of the people?"

Macaon immediately stopped nagging and said, "Not yet, I was about to arrange it just now." ”

"Then you go quickly, it's not early, I'll go to Menotios to help. ”

"Okay. Macaon immediately asked the guards to show Peleus the way, and he himself went to arrange accommodation.

And at this moment in the dining room of the Macaon family, Thetis and Achilles were eating.

Lunch, brought by the maids of the Makaean family from elsewhere, was nothing more abundant than the bread that Achilles had eaten at home, with fish and meat, and even fruit from the distant island of Crete in the south, where it is said that there is no snow all year round.

But now Achilles is really in no mood to eat, and for him this lunch is not as good as the bread made by Aunt Philo.

After two quick bites, Achilles was ready to go out for a walk. For the past few days, he has been on the road during the day, and at night it is either a tent or a cave, but he is really bored to death, and he feels like he is going to get moldy if he doesn't go out to bask in the sun.

"Mom, I'm out playing. ”

"Come back early in the evening. Thetis was still eating, and she didn't pay much attention to it.

"Got it. Achilles answered, and ran out of the house, not even the lion cub.

Out of the door, Achilles subconsciously looked at the weather. Well, there was no sun at all, and the sky was so gloomy that it looked like it had been painted with a pencil, as if it would rain at any moment.

"Forget it, it's good to go out and blow the wind, and I don't know where little Pat is now. Achilles said to himself, and walked out of the courtyard.

Although Pelius and Macaon were not there, there were several guards standing around the courtyard, and the one closest to the gate saw Achilles coming out and immediately ran over quickly.

"Your Royal Highness, are you going out?"

"yes, what's the matter?"

"I'm afraid it's going to rain depending on the weather, so why don't you bring an umbrella? The guard kindly reminded.

"It's okay, I'll just go out and find a place to hide from the rain if it's raining. Achilles waved his hand indifferently, and ran back in the rain when it rained, and it was too troublesome to bring an umbrella.

"I don't know where you're going, I can take you. The guard held a spear in his right hand and a round wooden shield covered with thick cowhide in his right hand, presumably to wait for the rain to serve as an umbrella for His Royal Highness.

Achilles immediately saw through his intentions, thinking that I wouldn't even be troublesome to bring an umbrella, so he quickly refused: "Don't bother, I'll go out for a walk and I'll be back soon." ”

"Alright then, you stay safe. Seeing His Royal Highness's repeated refusal, the guards had no choice but to retreat to their original positions.

Getting rid of the guards, Achilles casually chose the widest path to take, anyway, the Makaang family was so conspicuous, he couldn't get lost.

There were fewer pedestrians on the road, probably because it was going to rain, and occasionally a few people passed by in a hurry, and no one noticed the child who slipped out of the chief's house.

Achilles walked all the way and found things like taverns and weapon shops, especially a large bow hanging on the outer wall of the weapons shop, which may have stood a little taller than Thetis.

Achilles couldn't help but be amazed, where had he seen such a thing in his previous village, every family was a peasant, and he thought that the world was like this.

After walking along the main road for a while, there were suddenly more people around, and Achilles looked left and right, it seemed to be a bazaar.

Around the square were wooden tables with merchandise, mostly prey from the distant mountains, pheasants and hares, and even wild boars that had been dismantled.

There are also some stalls selling fish caught from the river and wild fruits picked from nowhere, Achilles is a little dizzy when he sees it, this is obviously winter has passed, okay? Where did the wild fruits come from?

After walking around, some of the stalls were empty, and some of the tables were surrounded by wooden stakes, on which were tied with ropes of big and small lambs and even calves.

Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, and the fish on a fish stall not far in front of Achilles jumped up and fell straight in front of him.

The stall owner hurried over to pick up the fish, and Achilles looked up at the sky, "Is it going to rain?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Achilles felt a drop of rain hit his forehead, and pedestrians without umbrellas on the road began to look for a place to hide from the rain, and the already noisy market instantly became even more noisy.

Achilles followed the flow of people and randomly found a house with eaves to stay, although it was already raining, but he thought that he should not be so easy to get sick.

"I've been shopping, I'll go back later. "I twisted the rain-soaked clothes on my body, to be honest, this slimy feeling is really uncomfortable, wouldn't it be nice to take a hot shower when I go home?

Just as he was thinking about it, a noisy sound suddenly came from an alley next to him, and Achilles couldn't help but stick his head out to look.

In the alley next to it, a group of children were forming in a circle and didn't know what they were doing, and they looked like six or seven. One of them is quite tall looking at the back, and it is estimated that they are already ten years old.

A glance at Achilles made him lose interest in them, he didn't know the children here at all, whether they were from the Cessalian tribe or those who migrated with Peleus, since he didn't know them, he didn't have to be too curious.

Achilles continued to return to the eaves to take shelter from the rain, but the shouting in his ears seemed to be getting louder.

"Let him hand it over, hurry!"

"Hurry up and give it to me, you hillbilly!"

"Don't get caught in the rain, don't touch the ground, be careful of touching the water!"

......

It seems to be robbing something, and he also scolded the hillbilly. Achilleston was a little unhappy, and compared to the people here in Thessaria, he was probably from the countryside.

"Teach him a lesson!"

"Yes!"

"Smack!"

A few words were followed by a crisp slap in the face, which Achilles could hear clearly even through the sound of rain.

Achilles' brows immediately furrowed, are all the children here so domineering?

"Ah!!" a scream rang out, and the sound in the alley escalated directly from the boiling water to the oil pan that entered the water, shaking Achilles a little bit of his scalp.

"You still dare to resist?!"

"Kill him, hillbilly!"

"Beat him!!"

The voices of a group of manic children were filled with anger, followed by the sound of punches and kicks.

This group of people is so noisy!

Achilles turned to look into the alley again, and a small-looking figure was lying on his side on the ground, holding his head in his hands, blocked by a group of people and kicking him with his feet, covered in mud.

Behind the group stood a little girl who looked to be about six or seven years old, holding something in her arms, standing in the rain shivering, looking like she wanted to say something.

Achilles stepped on the muddy water and walked towards them, "What are you doing?"
