The people of Seris, the country of Seris are already very distant stories to Aristotle, and they have only heard some of them in the teachings of Plato as a child.

and one or two of the Homeric epics written by the wise man.

But that's about it.

For later generations, the Homeric Epic, a masterpiece written in six steps of the Upper and Lower Figures, is the culmination of ancient Greek oral literature. It is the greatest work of ancient Greece and the greatest work of Western literature.

It is also the place where Western civilization originated.

But in the past hundred years, too many traces have been buried in the long river of history in this unrecorded West, and its exaggerated descriptions have made the entire existence of the West think that this is just a myth.

Although the whole West is still full of yearning and fantasy for the East, it is only yearning and fantasy.

At this moment, when he heard the words of his student again, Aristotle's thoughts couldn't help but drift a little.

Soon, though, Aristotle reacted.

His pupils widened, and he looked at his student with a look of disbelief.

"You!"

"Really?"

Aristotle didn't notice that his voice trembled at the moment.

"Teacher, I once said that I would knock down the country of Seris and give it to you!"

"Now that Macedonia has conquered Greece, set foot in Egypt, and ruled over Persia, it is time for me to fulfill my promise!"

Alexander's voice was not loud, but the confidence from the inside out at this moment was so immense.

As the ruler of the West.

Today, he is the greatest dictator in the entire known Western world.

He wielded supreme power that could spread throughout Europe, Africa, and even West Asia.

Tens of thousands of peoples trembled at his feet.

His achievements are also unprecedented.

It is truly a supreme existence.

No one dares to doubt the veracity of this statement.

Even Aristotle was the same.

However, although he did not doubt it, Aristotle at this time quickly came to his senses.

His face changed slightly.

Then he took a deep breath and spoke with a solemnity that he had never seen before.

"Alexander, you have to know how far away it is, it is the place where the sun sets, and your army is afraid that it will collapse before it gets there."

"Your people won't want to go so far away."

The words were not big, but Aristotle at this moment couldn't help frowning.

He didn't expect such a scene to happen.

This promise, once made, is really going to be fulfilled at this moment.

And this had to make Aristotle nervous.

Such a large territory has caused many problems for Macedonia's rule, and if he continues to go on expeditions, even to the distant kingdom of Seris, even Aristotle does not know what will happen to his students.

"Teacher, the greatness of a man lies in constantly expanding his territory, constantly increasing his power, and enjoying delicious food and girlish beauty to the fullest."

"Regard the world as your homeland, and if the mountain does not come to me, I will go to it."

Alexander's gaze was still looking into the distance, his voice was not loud, but this moment was extremely determined.

Aristotle couldn't help but be stunned.

"If the mountain does not come to me, I will go to it."

"Treat the world as your home."

Muttering to himself, Aristotle kept chewing on Alexander's words, and at this moment his mind seemed to be opened a new path.

But that thought didn't last long.

Soon, Aristotle forcibly calmed down his heart.

At the same time, his voice rang out again.

"Alexander, you must know that it is the kingdom of Seris, although I also think that the description in the Homeric Epic may not be true, but one thing is certain, the kingdom of Seris must be extremely strong, they have infinite wisdom and knowledge, these wisdom and knowledge are undoubtedly more powerful, you may not have been able to defeat them in the past."

Aristotle's words were extremely solemn.

This is also the truest word in his heart.

What the hell is the country of Seris, let alone him, even the teachers of his teachers may not be clear, but one thing is certain, the wisdom of the people of Seris is not comparable to them.

And sometimes wisdom is the most powerful force.

One of the biggest reasons for Alexander's rise was the introduction of knowledge from the East.

This knowledge was taught to Alexander by Aristotle's own hands, so Aristotle knew better how terrifying the power of this knowledge was.

And because he knew it, he didn't think Alexander had any chance of winning.

"Teacher, I'm not afraid of a group of lions led by a sheep, but I'm afraid of a group of sheep led by a lion, and the country of Seris may be a group of lions, but their leader may not be a lion."

"And the teacher also said that the country of Seris is an ocean of knowledge and wisdom, how can you not go and see it?"

Alexander chuckled, his words still firm.

He has never been afraid of strong enemies, which is the basis for his rapid rise.

Even now in the face of the incomparably distant country of Seris, he is still like this, he is confident, confident in his own strength, confident in his invincibility.

Be confident that you can face all these enemies.

"I see."

"Alexander, this is the last thing I can teach you!"

"Hopefully you won't regret your decision."

Aristotle spoke, and then took out two extremely worn thread-bound books from his bosom.

"What is this?"

With a puzzle in his expression, Alexander subconsciously took it.

"This teacher of Socrates, left by the two wise men, which records the wisdom and knowledge of the people of Seris, and a map of the wise men following the sages to the kingdom of Seris."

Aristotle spoke, with a solemn look in his expression.

This is the only thing he has preserved, and it is probably the most precious thing in the whole world today, and it is not one of them.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Listening to Aristotle's words, Alexander's eyes lit up, and then a look of ecstasy appeared in his expression.

Knowledge from the Far East, Alexander knew very well what these things represented, and it can be said that he was able to get to this point step by step, how incredible the knowledge of the Far East, or the wisdom of these Serisians.

This, both in military and political terms, has allowed him to achieve great success.

That's the main reason why he was desperate to go to Seris.

And at this moment, the teacher once again brought out some knowledge of the Serisians, which made him even more excited.

Not to mention, there's a legendary map to the land of Seris.

At this moment, Alexander's eyes could be said to be shining.

"It's okay!"

"This was meant to be handed over to you."

Aristotle sighed and shook his head.

Alexander was undoubtedly his most proud student, and if he could concentrate on his academics, he felt that the other person's achievements were even higher than him.

Clearly, however, Alexander's eyes were not on academics.

For Aristotle, there are still some regrets.

(In the account, Aristotle gave Alexander a map to the East, but it is not known if the map was wrong or if Alexander read it wrong, so he went to India.) ）

The conversation gradually ended.

Early in the morning, Aristotle left Macedonia.

And in the Macedonian military camp, Alexander had already begun his swearing-in assembly.

"The greatness of a man lies in the constant expansion of his territory, the constant increase of power, and the indulgence of delicious food and girlish beauty."

"When the sword of righteousness is wielded, it is inevitable to hear the cry of the evildoer!"

"The East, where there is endless wealth, endless beauty."

"Conquer them, and everything will be ours."

Alexander's majestic voice resounded in the school field, and for a time the entire military camp was boiling.

And on this day, the mighty expedition also kicked off.

A long war across the East broke out at this moment.

Alexander, with his unrivaled army and the military wisdom of the Seris, swept all the way down from the west.

No nation could stop him along the way.

Even the Spartans, who were as strong as they were at the beginning, could only tremble under the Macedonian phalanx at this moment.

No force can stop this horror.

That's right, there's nothing that can stop it.

And after sweeping the whole of West Asia, Alexander still did not stop.

Alexander continued his march across the Khyber Pass into the subcontinent.

Unlike the whole of West Asia and Egypt, this place also has a glorious civilization, which undoubtedly makes Alexander excited.

He seemed to see Seris.

No, in his opinion, this is the legendary Seris.

After all, the wisdom of the people here is better than that of people in West Asia, Egypt, and even Europe.

Such an outstanding, in his opinion, is already Seris.

And this undoubtedly made Alexander's expression more excited and throbbing.

His army did not hesitate any longer, after entering the South Asian subcontinent.

The army marched almost all the way to the Hydaspes River east of the Indus River, and routed the army of King Bolas of India, who had come to fight against him. Admiring Bolas's bravery and winning the support of the locals, Alexander freed the captured Bolas after the war, still making him king, and gaining the allegiance of Bolas himself. By taking advantage of the contradictions between the rulers of the states of Northwest India, Alexander quickly occupied vast areas of Northwest India with both soft and hard tactics.

At this moment, Alexander felt that something was wrong.

That's right, there's something wrong.

The people here are also full of infinite wisdom, but this wisdom does not seem to be applied to war, but only wisdom.

Not the same as the Seris he imagined.

But Alexander didn't care.

It seemed to him that this place might be just as he imagined, the Seris were a pack of lions, but they were ruled by sheep alone.

And this kind of existence leads to the fact that the battle of the Seris is not too strong.

Or rather, weak.

Until, when his army swept all the way and occupied almost the entire northern part of Tianzhu.

It was only in the true sense of the word that the Macedonian army was met with a very strong resistance.

It was a small country from the northeast of Tianzhu.

Its name is Kapila Guardian.

Originally, Alexander's army invaded here, and there was no resistance here, and the people here are still exactly the same as before, the only difference is that the people here, every one of them is doing penance.

They were like the most devout ascetics in the land of Europe.

They don't care if it's an outsider's invasion.

It wasn't until Alexander tried to forcibly end their penance that resistance followed.

And as soon as it comes, it is extremely strong.

Even to the point of horror.

For the first time, the Macedonian phalanx suffered a violent impact, no, it was no longer an impact, but it was directly shattered.

Alexander vividly remembers what he saw.

The moment an ascetic stepped in, the entire Macedonian phalanx of thousands of people was instantly turned on their backs, and one by one the figures were directly thrown out.

The power made his soldiers powerless.

That's not the power that humans can burst out of.

That weak ascetic was like a fierce beast from the wilderness.

With unparalleled terror, and toughness.

Alexander even suspected that tens of thousands of people might not be able to stop this existence.

And at that time, the arrogance that had begun to rise when he stepped into the northern part of Tianzhu disappeared directly in Alexander's heart.

For the first time, he had a fear, a fear that shouldn't have been there.

But when faced with a power that is not something that human beings can have, the most instinctive thing of human beings is still produced.

That moment.

It was also the first time that Alexander chose to withdraw his troops.

And after the withdrawal.

There was also a commotion in the entire Macedonian Expeditionary Force.

In the midst of the years of victory, the Macedonian army has become extremely rebellious, extremely arrogant, and this kind of arrogance and arrogance has made them forget everything.

Let them continue to go on expeditions, but when arrogance and recklessness are crushed, then retreat will inevitably appear in everyone's disgust.

At this moment, they all wanted to retreat.

Even Alexander had some muttering in his heart.

In the end, he didn't retreat.

But he also began to seriously understand the entire Tianzhu.

Unlike the blind conquest before, he began to really understand Seris and the country of Seris.

And this understanding.

Alexander was stunned.

That's right, he was confused.

Because this is not the country of Seris.

The people here are not Serisians.

It is called Tianzhu, or the place where the body poison is.

The country of Seris is in the north.

"I made a mistake"
