Hearing Aristotle's words, Amon couldn't help but think of Thales, the sage of Miduri. Thales preached and taught all kinds of knowledge to the people in the square, but they laughed at him for not being useful to the merchants of Miduri. As a result, Thales borrowed a sum of money from Isolt to start a business, made a lot of money, and then went on to preach and impart all kinds of knowledge.

Thales was in business to prove one thing, and the knowledge he imparted was not useless to a businessman, but neither was what he asked for. Thales has proven himself to be an excellent businessman, but he is indeed not a businessman, and looking at the great magician Aristotle in front of him, he is indeed not a magician, and there is no need to pursue the identity of a magician.

Amon thought of himself again, Zeus had made a pact with him, "You can't be a god here!" This agreement sounded a little funny, because Amon was a god, and this fact could not be changed in any way. So how do you keep this promise and find peace of mind at the same time? As soon as he met Aristotle, Amon got the answer.

Mortals often say thank you to the gods in their hearts, Amon can only say thank you to Aristotle at this time.

Seeing that Amon was silent, Eisen finally couldn't help but ask, "What do we do with these assassins? Especially the High Priest of Merlin, who is an important figure in the city of Aaron!"

Aristotle glanced at the unconscious Assassins lying on the avenue, thought for a moment and replied, "Take them all away and wait until you are in a safe place." ”

Amon said, "Mr. Aristotle, with me, it is a safe place. ”

Eisen asked, "What about what to do with these people after the interrogation? We can't take so many prisoners on our way." ”

These Assassins are now equivalent to prisoners of war. In the conflicts between the city-states of Heaton, prisoners of war were treated in much the same way, with nobles of status being held up and demanded a large ransom, and civilian prisoners of war with no "value" could be sold into slavery and sometimes executed or released.

Since these people were captured by Amun, they were Amun's "trophies", and Amon's opinion had to be consulted on what to do. Aristotle continued: "This group of Assassins is important to the Kingdom of Macedonia, and if possible, I would like to bring them all back." Amun, Medanzo, if you want a ransom, the Kingdom of Macedonia can pay it, please let me take them away. ”

Amon waved his hand: "You can dispose of it, I don't need any ransom, from now on, they will be your captives." ”

Eisen frowned and said, "How can we escort these assassins back after such a long journey?" These people are here to kill people, if the news leaks out, I'm afraid someone will try to kill these assassins halfway." ”

Medanzo smiled: "Don't worry, we are here to escort Mr. Aristotle." I can hand over these thirty assassins to me alone, and I promise to let them go on their way honestly, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Aristotle instructed the guards: "Disarm all these assassins first, and find out the excess on them, even if it is your booty." They set up an ambush deep in the mountains, and they couldn't have come on foot, and the horses must have been hiding somewhere nearby. Our horses are lost, so let's go and find them out. ”

When the guards heard that there was a bargain to be taken advantage of, they happily searched for the Assassins, and some went to find the horses hidden in the mountains. Thanks to the generosity of Amon and Aristotle, everyone can be regarded as making a small fortune, not to mention that the weapons carried by those assassins are also very valuable.

At this time, a great warrior had already woken up, his body was sore and unable to move, and he found a guard touching his arms, and his face turned red and roared angrily: "I am the great warrior of Yalun City, Moirai, you must not be so rude! Even if I am a captive, I will ask for the courtesy of a captive!"

Medanzo stepped forward and kicked him lightly, and sneered: "Courtesy? Why didn't you mention courtesy when you were ambushed here to kill people?

Sure enough, the guards found dozens of horses in the hidden places of the nearby mountains and forests, and Medanzo woke up the assassins, not only limiting their power with magic techniques, but also tying their hands behind their backs in two strings, allowing them to follow the convoy behind the mission on foot. Medanzo rode a horse to escort him, while Amon rode with Aristotle in the same car.

Only then did Eisen realize that there was not only one great magician in the assassin team, but also two great warriors!

Such a team looked so peculiar that they went out of the mountains that afternoon to a town that attracted the attention of the local residents.

Medanzo tied the Assassins' hands behind his back and strung them together with ropes one by one to follow the convoy, but Aristotle did not stop him, and Amon guessed the sage's intentions, so he quietly gave Medanzo a few words.

Merlin, the high priest of the city-state of Aaron, had not experienced such humiliation: he was strung with his hands tied behind his back, and walked through the streets with a group of captives to be watched, and children spat at him and threw stones, like monkeys. The officials of the town were shocked to learn that the Macedonian mission had been attacked in the mountains, and were relieved to learn that there were no casualties, but then began to worry again, because Merlin and two other great warriors were recognized.

While resting in the inn that night, local officials came to offer condolences and apologize. They said that the special envoy was responsible for the mismanagement of public order because he encountered the gangsters here, and hoped that the special envoy would hand over the gangsters to the local sheriff for severe punishment. Eisen received the group, and he shook his head and said, "They are not gangsters but assassins, and now they are our captives, to be brought back to the Macedonian kingdom for disposal." ”

The local official added: "We are willing to pay as much ransom as Aristotle and Master Eisen want." However, Eisen refused this request at Aristotle's behest, and the ransom of the prisoners was to be requested to the Kingdom of Macedonia, and when the mission returned to Macedonia, the local officials of Miduri did not have to intervene.

The town's officials had no choice but to send messengers to the city-state of Aaron overnight, and the next day, Aristotle's convoy continued its departure and left the territory of Miduri and entered the city-state of Orintos. In the city-state of Olintos, thirty Assassins were still tied up in two groups to follow the convoy, which almost attracted the crowd of onlookers, and Merlin and the two great warriors were of course recognized again.

The same thing was played, some people asked for the ransom of the "prisoners of war", and some people asked Aristotle to hand over the "assassins" to the local magistrate for severe punishment, but Aristotle refused on the same grounds. Along the way, Aristotle did not ask the identity of the Assassins, nor did he interrogate anyone. The captives were also terrified, wondering what Aristotle meant and what fate awaited them.

Especially the three arrogant Mahasiddhidhi who were tortured worse than killing them with a single sword, and asked to be interrogated several times along the way, but Medanzo ignored them. They were assassins of the Macedonian mission, and even if someone wanted to rescue or kill them, they could only set up ambushes in hidden places. As the convoy left the border of the city-state of Olintos, it encountered another group of "Assassins" in the mountains.

The target of the Assassin attack was not Aristotle's convoy, but the defenseless captives that followed the convoy. As a result, after the team walked out of the mountains and forests, the number of prisoners escorted by Medanzo changed from thirty to ninety, and it was quite a mighty walk on the main road, and then it entered the territory controlled by the Macedonian kingdom when it went north.

The second group of Assassins was also urgently sent by the city-state of Aaron, and was taken down by Amon and Medanzo. Medanzo deliberately mixed the first Assassins with the second group and re-tied them with ropes so that they could talk to each other on the way, resulting in the captives arguing themselves.

The captured samurai Moirai scolded the commander of the second assassin team, claiming that he had risked the danger to assassinate the Macedonian mission at the behest of the city-state, but unfortunately he was captured by mistake, and the city-state sent reinforcements to rescue them without trying to rescue them, and it was really shameless to kill them!

Medanzo couldn't help but scold: "Mr. Aristotle has no grievances with you, he just signed the covenant and wanted to tear it up in a blink of an eye, but he adopted despicable and obscene assassination methods, and he was embarrassed to scold others!"

A delegation of more than 20 people, carrying 90 prisoners of war, passed through the towns of the Macedonian kingdom and came to the Macedonian city-state under the watchful eyes of the people. Before they could see the walls of Macedonia, smoke and dust rose in the distance, and the horses' hooves rumbled and their flags fluttered, and King Philip II himself led his guards out of the city to greet them, giving the returning mission the highest courtesy.

...... The Kingdom of Macedonia was a state that rose to prominence in the latter part of the Greco-Persian Wars, and the current king, Philip II, is a great hero. At the time of the invasion of the Poz army, the Macedonian kingdom was once subjugated to Poz, and the Poz people requisitioned local people to build military fortresses and transport logistics and military supplies.

At that time, Philip II, who was the uncle of the young king, sent a group of cronies to mix in the ranks of the people, spying and collecting all kinds of information about the Pozzians, and analyzing and sorting out a series of information such as the distribution of the forces of the Boz army on the Heaton Peninsula and the route of material transportation, and provided them to Kibada and Yaron in the south. In the later decisive battle of Greco, the military intelligence provided by Philip II played an important role.

After the end of the Greco-Persian War, the Potz army withdrew from the Heaton Peninsula, and the situation in Macedonia was chaotic for a time, and Philip II took the opportunity to depose the young king and ascend the throne himself, which not only pacified the situation of the country, but also took advantage of the rise of the Macedonian kingdom to fill the chaotic power vacuum in the surrounding area after the withdrawal of Portz.

At this time, in the southern part of the Heaton Peninsula, the Arron League and the Kibadan League competed for supremacy, and civil wars broke out one after another. In the north, where the situation was relatively peaceful, the sphere of influence controlled by the Macedonian kingdom had been quietly expanding, and the places where the Pozes had withdrawn were immediately occupied by Macedonia. By the time the quagmire of civil war had been devastated, the Macedonian kingdom had become the most powerful force in the northern part of the Heaton Peninsula.

With the expansion of the territory and the gradual strengthening of the country, there are no internal worries and no external troubles, and the Kingdom of Macedonia has ushered in a golden period of development. Philip II specially invited the famous sage Aristotle to be his court teacher to teach his young son Alexander. When the Careerist Fawkes instigated the uncontrollable scuffle between Jaaron and Kibada, and the Pozzi forces returned, Philip II finally decided to pacify the southern part of the Heaton Peninsula.

He sent a mission to the city-state of Aaron to negotiate an alliance, with the intention of ending the civil war, uniting Heaton, and expelling the Pozzians from the ground up. The Arons made an alliance, but turned back and sent Assassins to try to make the mission disappear forever. However, the Assassin was captured and brought back to Macedonia.

Before Aristotle arrived, Philip II received the news. The king was not angry, but overjoyed. In his opinion, Aaron, who was already at the end of his rope, was looking for his own death, and that he had only made an alliance according to the traditional custom between the states of the Heaton Peninsula, and the treacherous behavior of the city-state of Aaron gave him an excuse for complete unification.

Aristotle was able to capture the Assassin alive and bring it back to Macedonia as living evidence, which was a beautiful job! In this case, if the Macedonian army went south, the states of the Heaton Peninsula would have nothing to say, so Philip II himself went out of the city to meet the mission. There was another reason why he did not hesitate to go dozens of miles out of the city and was in such a desperate mood.

The night before Aristotle's return, Philip II received an oracle from Zeus informing him that someone would follow Aristotle to the kingdom of Macedonia, and that this person would bring unprecedented achievements to the kingdom, even beyond everyone's imagination!

The oracle did not say who this man was, but Philip II rejoiced, and in his opinion the captives brought back by Aristotle alone were already of great value.

...... Aristotle handed over the signed covenant and captives to the king, and his mission was completed. This is perhaps the most dramatic covenant ever made by the United Kingdom of Heaton, because it was torn up by the time it was handed over to the other side.

I wonder if the magnates in the city of Aaron will cry, because the covenant clearly states that the two states will form an alliance and non-aggression against each other, and will jointly defend against foreign enemies. But now that the covenant is no longer valid, the captives are evidence of the Aron's breach of the covenant.

Since Zeus's oracle does not mention the name of the "man", it is theorized that he may have been one of the new people brought back by Aristotle, or he could have been among the prisoners of war. Therefore, Philip II had to be cautious, and he did not kill any of the captives, but they were all placed under house arrest and interrogated separately, and they were given preferential treatment but were not allowed to be ransomed.

There was no difficulty in interrogation, and there was no need to even use torture, and many people took the initiative to confess. Medanzo had tossed them along the way, and Philip II, who treated them well, was like a savior sent by the gods.
