In Lower Macedonia, outside the city of Trina, the mountains of weapons and equipment amazed everyone who passed by, including the natives of Trina and the soldiers of the Illyrian Confederate army who had just arrived here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the orders of the "General" Orpheus, they handed over the broken and defective weapons, replaced them with brand new equipment, and practiced at the nearby huge training ground, hoping to adapt to them as soon as possible and quickly become familiar with them.

The disabled veteran, forcibly discharged by Lu Bin, moved into the fertile land of Trina, distributed to them houses, women and fields, as well as a number of aborigines-reduced slaves, and enjoyed the victor's dividends at a leisurely pace.

"You are all warriors who have followed the king to fight in all directions, and you have survived until now, and you have all accumulated rich military achievements, and it is time to enjoy your life. The king of the battlefield said that you should start a family as soon as possible, and for the future of the kingdom, you must have more children, raise your children, and when they are old enough, you will enter the reserve army and become the king's spear or shield. ”

The middle-level leaders of the coalition army, each centurion explained to his subordinates that the retirement of veterans not only did not reduce the combat effectiveness of the legion, but made these soldiers who climbed up the bottom of society full of expectations for the future.

The morale of Macedonia and Epirus, which lasted for many years, was more or less weak, and although the victories and defeats made many warriors rich, there was no heir, and the inheritance was often given to the robes.

Therefore, when some veterans retired and became "meritorious people", not only soothed the resentment of the army, but even stimulated high morale again, and the scattered people's hearts gathered to be mastered by Lu Bin, even the original high-level of the Seven Cities Alliance was a little helpless in the face of this situation.

Veterans who quit the Legion battle sequence were treated with envy and jealousy, even the original inhabitants of Trina City were greedy for the treatment of the Illyrian coalition.

However, they have not been able to gain trust, and after entering the Legion, they only serve as auxiliaries, and they have no chance to touch the latest weapons made by the "Coastal Workshop", especially the bronze sword that has been sharpened.

"You need to pay the blood tax, which is the certificate of loyalty, and obtain at least one head of an Upper Macedonian before you are allowed to enter the reserve legion. ”

"Later, you have to receive basic martial arts training, as well as battle formation training, know how to step on the drum to advance, and when you hear the bell to retreat, you can be considered a qualified warrior. ”

"If you want to be promoted to the rank of Ten-Master, you must defeat at least five or more warriors and gain the support of the majority of the people before you are eligible to learn the primary martial arts. ”

"If you want to become a centurion, you must learn to read the signals sent by the flag, especially when you are deep in the enemy line and cannot hear the sound of bells and drums, knowing the flag language will give you and your subordinates more chances to survive and achieve the ultimate victory. ”

"As for the commander, he must be a nobleman of the Illyrian city-state to be qualified, and the commander must be the first hero of a certain city-state, or even the lord himself. ”

The natives of Trina City were stunned by the harsh military rules of the Illyrian coalition, and they could not have imagined that it would be so difficult to become a soldier, far less than before, picking up a hoe and going down to the field to be a farmer, and holding a sword and shield as a warrior.

"That's the lowest-level peasant soldiers, only a few days of training, as long as ten months, the basic martial arts are a mess, don't know how to advance in battle formations, don't know the essence of collective charge, just a hundred-level reserve corps, can defeat ten times as many peasant soldiers. ”

Conversations like the above, staged everywhere in Trina City, are nothing more than organized, disciplined, and tactical professional soldiers, who can easily crush scum like scum (no organization, no discipline, no tactics, only with blood and brute force).

"Even if the peasants and soldiers can burst out with full morale in order to defend their homeland, then the huge city of Trina will not be taken by our side on the same day. ”

Lu Bin waved his hand and signaled to end the conversation, and the high-ranking generals of the coalition immediately closed their mouths. They are all powerful people in their respective city-states, but unfortunately they still dare not speak out loud in front of the "King of Illyria" who has been forged into a throne by a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

In the long-term campaign, the opposition that has been cleared out is all the old high-level leaders of the Seven Cities Alliance, and now the rising stars are all rising stars who choose to rely on Lu Bin.

To deal with the recalcitrant ones, Lu Bin never used the means of killing people in public, but assigned mortal tasks to push them to the dangerous battlefield.

Otherwise, many dangerous passes in Macedonia will not change hands so repeatedly, but will be uprooted by Lu Binxin's dragon tooth soldiers at the fastest speed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to fight in all directions, Lu Bin not only bleed the enemy, but even his own people who reached the alliance and did not obey his orders in the background, they still borrowed a knife to kill people and slaughtered a fine light.

The military conference was thus over, and the conquest of Upper Macedonia and the launching of an offensive against the natives of Lower Macedonia were tested to become the decision of the coalition forces.

Later, Lu Bin stretched out his hand to call Orpheus, Anatoler, and Corey to stay, and the high-ranking generals of the coalition army saw that it would certainly not be a bad thing for the king of Illyria to leave behind his trusted generals, the head of the guard, and his own women, so they left with peace of mind.

Lu Bin first delivered good news from the underworld to Orpheus, and Tantalus, a fellow judge of the underworld, indirectly helped him speed up due to the direct descendant Agamemnon becoming king, and condensed the constellation from the dark star, not only consolidating his position, but even gaining a chance in the future.

"Sisyphus was the founder and first king of Corinth, and although he was given eternal punishment by the gods, he also had his own family, and his descendants have continued to this day, and they are all great heroes, and they will gather constellations after accumulating enough. As for you, Orpheus, my beloved general, the establishment of the Esoteric Cult on the earth is only the first step, and the establishment of merit in the conquest of Macedonia is enough to enable you to complete your transformation faster than others after returning to the underworld. The dark and lightless underworld is not the best place to live, and the establishment of our own holy mountain is the real goal, and that is only the beginning. ”

The vista depicted by Lu Bin moved Orpheus magnificently, and he felt that his vision was still too narrow. The achievement of conquering the Quartet is only the initial stepping stone, and this alone can show a better tomorrow.

"Mount Helikon is near Corinth, the earthly dwelling place of the Muses, and though they are regular visitors to the Holy Mountain, they are not qualified to be there. After the conquest of Upper Macedonia, you will take people to Mount Helikon and kill all nine muses. ”

Orpheus's father was O'Agros, the king of Thrace, and his mother was the muse of Kaliopa, who was in charge of literature and art, and only after sleeping together on Mount Helikon did he give birth to the half-human and demigod Orpheus, who inherited the musical genius of the goddess's mother, and the famous teachers who taught him the day after tomorrow, so that he could shine in the journey of the Golden Fleece.

Unfortunately, when Orpheus was redeemed in the underworld, he knew the plans of the gods of the Holy Mountain and was full of hatred for any of the gods of the old days. Otherwise, he would never use his hand to pluck the strings, hold the scepter that commands the coalition forces, and transform into an iron-blooded commander who has countless heads on the ground with a single order.

"Your Highness, your will is my mission. None of the muses are fighting gods, and it is not difficult to kill them. ”

Lu Bin shook his head lightly: "Don't be careless, my bird of paradise." The Muses are gods after all, and their source is the spirituality of the ancient Titans, the great eagle Zeus, who recreated them into new gods from the fragments of his soul that he peeled off from the Titans. Underestimating them will suffer. ”

Orpheus's smug face suddenly calmed down, and he respectfully stroked his chest, no longer daring to despise any god, even if he was a god of the underworld who was on a par with the ancient sleeping twins.

"How is the recent progress of the cultivation of the Heroic Spirit Warriors of the Esoteric Sect, is there any new breakthrough in absorbing the power of the underworld into the body, fusing with the ancient heroes, and conducting the experiment of reincarnation?"

Orpheus glanced at Anatole and Corey, who looked like a Valkyrie, and carefully picked up unimportant words and phrases to explain: "With the further expansion of our territory, the number of qualified Heroic Warriors has exceeded a thousand, but there are only seven people who can fuse with ancient heroes, and there are many half-finished products that have failed, and the number is about six times. I tried to reconcile it with the lyre and the music, but only to make sure that those who survived would not lose their minds. ”

Lu Bin couldn't help but sigh: "With the physique of a mortal, it is indeed a bit reluctant to bear the power of death in the underworld. However, in my plan, the attack on the Holy Mountain must have the Legion of the Roar of the Underworld, invoke the negative Force of the world, and impose sanctions on the gods. These low-level gods of the Roaring Legion can only be fixed on the Heroic Warriors. If we win in the end, I'm willing to pay even if it's a consumable that can only be used once. ”

"I see! I will send the Heroic Warriors to participate in the conquest of Macedonia, hoping that they will be able to let go of their bodies and minds on the battlefield and completely merge with the souls of the ancient heroes. ”

Lu Bin nodded lightly: "It's good to do this." Before leaving, I will bless the Heroic Warriors on a large scale, and the more people who can survive, the better. ”
