Aphrodite blinked and said, "What kind of trick is a punch in the nose, a punch in the stomach, and then a hand to pull her hair? Amon is a god after all, and a person who understands etiquette, if the opponent is a woman, he can't do the same, right?"

Alena asked rhetorically, "Even if he changes his tactics, will you be able to stop it?"

Themis, the goddess of fairness and justice in the distance, suddenly interjected: "If you want to know the answer, you can try to challenge him yourself." But Aphrodite, I warn you - it's not about love, it's about fighting, don't get it wrong. ”

Aphrodite sighed again: "It's really boring to fight and kill, I still like to fall in love, I'm not Apollo, I have my means." ”

Alena reminded, "Apollo was spotted by Amun's weakness, otherwise he wouldn't have lost so badly. In our camp, Apollo, the most combat-ready in this matter, can no longer be involved in this. Aphrodite, don't overestimate your charm, you can't tempt a god like Amon. Even if you can tempt him and what happens, do you think Artemis will be able to spare you?"

The gods of Olympus share an oath and cannot directly touch each other, but that does not mean that there will be no conflicts. If Aphrodite annoyed Artemis, the goddess of the hunt gave her bow to the powerful oracle and set a trap against Aphrodite, and the god of love and beauty might not be able to bear it.

Aphrodite said with a look of pity: "A god like Amun, such a man, is a temptation and a challenge for me, and if I fall in love with him, it should be an achievement and enjoyment. But I thank you for reminding me, the words of the goddess of wisdom are never wrong, I will not face Amun directly, so what should I do?"

Alena thought for a moment: "If you want to defeat someone, you don't necessarily need to use your fists, everyone's weaknesses are different. If you want to defeat someone, you don't necessarily need to fight him directly. Aphrodite, if you really want to banish Amun, I have a suggestion that will make the most of your strengths......"

The next words were inaudible to others, and it was not known what the goddess of wisdom had given Aphrodite in mind.

...... Medanzo followed Amon down the mountain, and on the official road on the outskirts of Macedonia, pedestrians, cars and horses came and went, Amon stopped singing, and walked forward with his hands behind his back. Medanzo couldn't help but whisper, "My god, you are amazing! How did you happen to mine a Tear of the Gods? Among the craftsmen still alive in this world, you are probably the only one who has mined this kind of divine stone, and you have actually mined two in a row!"

Amon smiled slightly: "How can I be so lucky, I only opened a few hundred cores today, if I can mine a Tear of the Gods in this way, it would be too exaggerated! Don't forget that I already have a Tear of the Gods in my hand, which Maria left me." I gave all the artifacts to my disciples, but I left them to follow me out of Heaven. ”

Medanzo suddenly reacted and whispered in his soul: "So that's the case, no wonder!"

The last core Amon opened was a "fake", but it was made by the brilliant master craftsman to be the real thing, and he placed his own Tear of the Gods inside. When Apollo was distracted, Amon took the opportunity to take out the core and caused an accident himself, so Apollo was unlucky.

Don't look at Amun, who usually doesn't like to play tricks at all, but that doesn't mean he won't, if anyone wants to bully an "honest man" like him, then it's really the wrong person!

When the two of them entered the Macedonian gates, Medanzo asked, "My god, will you really be able to mine a Tear of the Gods again?" ”

Amon replied calmly, "It's not impossible, but it's not my Tears of the Gods, it's Alexander's." All the divine stones mined, regardless of the type, will be handed over to the Macedonian kingdom, and each divine stone will be rewarded with a gold coin. ”

...... The Kingdom of Macedonia successfully captured the Holy Land of Delphi in Heaton, and Philip II left a thousand-strong army of the Delphi Army to garrison the Holy Land and led the army back to the division in victory. On his way back to his division, he made another "byway" circle and conquered several city-states near Delphi. Macedonia's conquest was not the same as the alliance of the city-states in history, not as the leader of the alliance, but directly incorporated these city-states into Macedonia's territory.

The citizens' assemblies of these city-states were still preserved, and they usually decided the internal affairs of the city-states, but the city-states were subject to the unified governance of Macedonia, and the writing, laws, taxes, and weights and measures were all consistent. At this time, the Heaton Peninsula had formed a three-power situation, and the Macedonian Kingdom in the north was competing with the Kibada League and the Arron League in the south, and the Aronian League had become the weakest party.

Aaron and Kibada finally panicked, so they stopped attacking each other and sent emissaries to negotiate a new alliance against Macedonia, but it was too late.

The Macedonian kingdom had a larger territory and a larger population, and was more powerful, allowing it to recruit more trained warriors and more warriors from among the able-bodied common people. After Philip II returned to the division, he divided the elite of the original Delphi Legion into three, and formed two new legions on the basis of this group of backbones.

Each new legion was formed by Alexander, who was responsible for specific training and drills, and when a new legion was basically formed, another legion was formed, or Alexander was transferred to be the first legion commander. If you change someone to play this role, it may be to make a wedding dress for others, form a legion with your own hands, train soldiers, and form combat effectiveness before handing it over.

However, this problem did not exist for Alexander, and Philip II's intention was obvious: in the future, the huge Macedonian army would be under Alexander's command and control, because they were formed by the hands of this prince, and the generals who grew up in the battle were also the descendants of Alexander.

Many people were predicting that after Macedonia occupied Delphi and the surrounding city-states, they would take revenge on Aaron, but Philip II's move was unexpected, and half a year later he went out again and marched south to attack the Kibadak League.

Kibada was the main force on the Heaton Peninsula that could still confront Macedonia, and Philip II saw it very accurately, the main force of Aaron was the navy, and the main force of Kibada was the army. If Yaron were attacked along the coastline, Kibada's army could come to the rescue, but if the Kibadak League was attacked by land, Aron's navy could not help.

The battle was fierce at the beginning, and the Kibadan warriors fought bravely and skillfully, and fought several tough battles in the face of the Macedonian phalanx and the attack of the cavalry on both wings. However, the number of Kibadan warriors was originally small, and they gradually became unable to resist under continuous attrition, and once the battle turned around, the attack of the Macedonian army became devastating.

Philip II attacked Kibada first, for a very practical reason, because the Kibada League was not a community of interests, and as long as the powerful Kibadan legions were defeated, the other city-states in the alliance could be defeated without a fight.

The Kibadan League was maintained by the strong force of the Kibadan warriors, and was in fact an alliance of the Kibadans to conquer and enslave other city-states. The brutal rule and oppression of the Kibadans had long caused revolt among the other city-states within the Alliance, and the Kibadan army was defeated, and almost all the city-states took the initiative to welcome the arrival of the Macedonian army.

The Macedonian army fought all the way to the city of Kibada, and the Kibadans, who had no way to retreat, swore to defend their city-state and insisted on fighting to the end. If the city of Kibada were stormed, it would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and it might even be attacked by the Arons. Philip II made a decision - the attack on Kibada ended here, leaving the city-state of Kibada to fend for themselves!

The citizens of the city-state of Kibada were not engaged in production, but trained exclusively for the purpose of military conquest, and survived by conquering and enslaving other city-states. Now the Kibadan warriors have lost most of their conquered territories, leaving only their own city-states. If pushed too quickly, the Kibadans would fight to the end under the threat of annihilation, which would not do Macedonia any good.

The Macedonian kingdom had achieved its strategic goal by dismantling the Kibada League, and the city-state of Kibada was left to fend for itself behind closed doors. Macedonia had already occupied two-thirds of the Heaton Peninsula, and the small isolated city of Kibada could no longer pose a threat to it, and the remaining Kibadan warriors may still have the courage to defend the city, but they can no longer launch a counteroffensive.

The alliance of Kibada was dismantled, leaving only the isolated city of Kibada, and Philip II took advantage of the situation to turn his army against Aaron. Unlike the attack on Kibada, the League of Aaron was a community of interests combined with commerce and trade, and Philip II appeared as an avenger rather than a liberator, so the opposing city-states joined forces. The Macedonian army needs to be eaten away step by step, not by a single battle.

Philip II first captured a port city-state along the coastline, cutting off an important sea supply line for the Aaronic League, and then circumvented the Aaron navy and detoured inland, city-state by city-state. Macedonia grew stronger and the Aaronic League weakened, and in the end only a few important city-states remained, struggling to support each other's transportation links and naval support.

Philip II was not in a hurry, the newly conquered territory needed to be consolidated and digested, the situation of Macedonian unification of the entire Heaton Peninsula was irreversible, and he had to prepare for the next strategic goal and build a stronger Macedonian army.

Philip II led the army to war, and news of victory kept coming, and Alexander, who remained in the royal capital, with the assistance of his ministers, also handled the military and political affairs of Chang very well. He recruited troops in the new territory and formed two more corps, and this time he did not serve as the commander of the corps in a row, but handed over the task of forming and revising the new army to his cronies.

The young Alexander served as commander of three legions, and his promoted cronies formed two more legions. The prince soon ushered in the most important event of his reign, the annual Delphi oracle. Now that Philip II is leading a campaign, Alexander will preside over the ceremony on behalf of the Macedonian kingdom.

This year's Oracle of Delphi will still be issued by the Temple of Apollo, with the officiating at the Temple of Apollo in Delphi.

There is a process of changing history, although Macedonia has occupied the holy place of Delphi, after all, it is not long after the new lord, and many things still need the support of the local priestly group, so there is no immediate order to change the form of the oracle of Delphi, which is still issued by the temple of Apollo.

It is estimated that a real change will not take place until the Macedonian kingdom is in full control of the situation in the future, and the traditional priestly group of Delphi no longer has the strength to oppose it. Alexander, who was not yet twenty years old, was thrilled to preside over such a grand ceremony, and the most solemn ceremony in the entire Heaton Peninsula.

Aristotle, Alexander's court teacher, was of course to accompany him, teaching the young prince all the etiquette necessary for the ceremony. And Medanzo also went, and it was Alexander who begged him to go with him. During this time, Alexander became even closer to Medanzo, who often accompanied him to inspect the army, drill battle formations, and lecture on various things on outings and hunting.

For such an important ceremony, important people in the kingdom had to be invited, and some people had to be invited to attend it as a sign of courtesy. Amon also received Alexander's private invitation to attend the Delphi ceremony, which Amon politely declined.

Amun's reason for rejecting Alexander was simple: if he did, the first Delphi oracle ceremony presided over by the Kingdom of Macedonia would have come to naught. Amon had won Apollo in the duel, and if he had reached Delphi, then all the incarnations that Apollo had placed on the idol would have to retreat, and it would have been impossible for him to send down oracles. Unless the priest lied and forged the oracle, the ceremony would have become a joke, and whether the oracle actually appeared or not, the great magicians present had a sense.

Amun, however, agreed that Medanzo would accompany Alexander, as Macedonia had just conquered many city-states and the situation had not yet been fully stabilized. With such a complicated scene, with Medanzo in his presence, Amon could rest assured of Alexander's safety.

On behalf of his father, the young Alexander led a guard of elite warriors of the Delphi legion, accompanied by Medanzo, Aristotle, and his courtiers, to the holy land of Delphi, where he met with the representatives of the city-states who had come to attend the ceremony, and then presided over the grand ceremony.

Apollo sent an oracle on behalf of the Olympian gods to bless the young prince and all the Heatonians at the same time, to become a powerful kingdom under the leadership of Macedonia. The glory of Macedonia reached its peak, and Alexander, who represented this glory, seemed to have become a figure who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the heroes of history and legend.

The mentality of young people is always playful, and after the ceremony, Alexander, who has finally come out for a trip, does not want to go back so quickly. Philip II is gone, and no one in the Macedonian courtiers today can control him. He ordered Aristotle to lead the Macedonian mission and the guards back first, while he disguised himself as a commoner and traveled with Medanzo to various city-states to open his eyes.

Aristotle wanted to persuade but couldn't, because he once said to Alexander that as a monarch, you can't just handle government affairs in the palace, but it is best to experience and think as a citizen, so that you can know how to make decisions on many things. Now that Alexander really wants to do this, he feels a headache, and he is most worried about the safety of the little prince, but fortunately there is Medanzo, so he can only carefully advise Medanzo.

It doesn't make much sense to carry a small guard, and it is easy to expose Alexander's identity, since it is a private service, it is impossible to lead a large army to follow, and it is best to be protected by a powerful oracle like Medanzo. Medanzo took Alexander on a tour of the folk city-states, dressed like the traveling sages of the Heaton Peninsula.

Alexander is very curious about everything, he doesn't even know how to live in a hotel, he wants Medanzo to teach him everything, in fact, any "teacher" in the world can teach this little prince this, but Alexander feels that Medanzo is really well-informed at the moment, and he is very envious of his colorful experience.

Alexander had been out for more than two months, and if Medanzo hadn't advised him to go back early, he would have had to play for a while. The prince, though playful, had not forgotten his duty, and when he heard that Philip II was about to return to court, he immediately decided to return to the Macedonian city-state.

Alexander and Medanzo were in Midoli at the time, and when they heard of Amun's experience of helping the Macedonian mission, they begged Medanzo to take him through that road again. Medanzo took Alexander to the mountains where the mission had been attacked, and explained what had happened, and Alexander was amazed that he was also a hero who captured the Assassins.

While the two were talking and laughing, a person appeared at the pass in the distance and walked over along the mountain road. She carries a big burden, which is very disproportionate to her delicate figure, and looks pitiful.

Medanzo and Alexander noticed that someone was coming, it was still a lonely girl, and at the same time they stopped laughing and turned their heads to look over, and they were both distracted for a moment, as if they had a feeling of suffocation—this girl is so beautiful!

She looked to be about ten years old, and was wearing a light green gauze dress, probably because she was in a hurry, and fine beads of sweat oozed from the tip of her nose and forehead. Her forearms were exposed to the outside of her skirt, and her skin was fair and tender, like a perfect masterpiece of the gods. Her eyes were clear and soft, with a deep and enchanting sheen, and her long, waterfall hair was orange-red, slightly curled over her round shoulders and fair breasts.

Through the dress, you can see that her breasts are full, her waist is flexible, and her legs are slender, all of which reflect the beauty of the female surname. How could there be such a beautiful girl in the world? Alexander could barely speak, just stared at the girl stupidly. And Medanzo has not seen beautiful women, even the goddess he has seen a lot, but at this moment there is an unprecedented sense of amazement.
