Chapter 299: Holy Land Battle

Amon thought thoughtfully: "The formation of the legion on the continent is likely to change because of this. The battle array that Alexander used today has maximized the existing advantages of Macedonia. I am afraid that future generations will not understand, when After the change of the situation, we still stick to the old rules, so wins and loses.

Medanzo, did you move your disciples again? In fact, there is no need to regret that each person has his own pursuit, even if he awakens the power of the source and has no hope of becoming a god. Alexander ’s vow is to be a king, so be a king. You regret it. Who else in the world is not worthy of sympathy? "

...

Amon's stay in Macedonia was unobtrusive. Except for a few people who knew his identity, most Macedonians didn't even notice his existence. As for Medanzo, this handsome and magnificent samurai is very eye-catching, but most people are not clear about his special identity. He only knows that he is a foreign warrior who has helped the mission on the road and is very popular with Prince Alexander The weight of the device.

After King Philip II listened to Alexander's suggestion, he asked in detail the conversation between His Royal Highness the Prince and Amon and others, and then summoned the group ministers to discuss military reforms, and formed the first army in this way.

Although Macedonia is the most powerful state in the northern part of the Heaton Peninsula, there are only 1,800 warriors awakened by blood, and there are only more than 1,000 standing cavalry. Philip II made the most of the infantry's combat effectiveness and formed a long-arms battlefield, which later became the Macedonian square of the mainland. The first legionary of the regular army was his son Alexander.

Alexander became the legion leader at the age of eighteen. This was both Her Majesty's test of the heirs and another more important reason. The new infantry battle formation was created by Alexander. This legion was officially incorporated into 4,096 pikemen, each of which consisted of a thousand-man infantry team led by a general.

Each Thousands Team has four long lance squares, each of which includes 256 fighters. Each of these 228 people constitutes a combat unit, which can alternate into battle during the battle. This most basic combat unit is divided into two teams, each team of 64 people, commanded by a captain.

Philip II sent the most experienced general in the kingdom to assist Alexander in military formations, and Medanzo often pointed to Alexander to help him with his plans.

These 4,000 pikemen are the core of the legion's operations, and Amon has pointed out the fatal flaws in this battle array. Therefore, he must also train various arms to cooperate and protect the wings. Cavalry and auxiliary infantry are also important combat forces of this legion. Most of them are composed of regular warriors.

Philip II had the ambition to unify the Sidon Peninsula. To realize it, he began by building this legion, and let Alexander establish authority in the process of forming the legion. The 18-year-old legionnaire of Alexander was the future heir to the Kingdom of Macedonia, and Philip II also hoped that he would gradually take control of the military from now on.

Since the return of the Aristotle-led mission, the shameful behavior of the Aaron's betrayal has been made public, and everyone is waiting for when Philip II sends troops to conquer Aaron. However, after the formation of the new army, Philip II's first target of conquest turned out to be Delphi in the middle of the Heaton Peninsula.

Alexander's first army was named Delphi Corps. When Philip II decided to take the royal conquest, he decided to leave Alexander in the Macedonian empire, and His Majesty the King himself acted as the commander of the regiment. This legion has one main priest and two deputy priests. The former high priest Merlin of Aaron was one of the deputy priests. The great warrior Imole who returned with Merlin was also one of the four generals who commanded the thousands.

It took a year to form and train a legion, and when it was time to go on a mission, it was left behind. Alexander's depression can be imagined. Philip II said to him, "My son, don't worry, everything in Macedonia will be yours in the future. Delphi is a special place for all the Heaton people. Some things are not suitable for you. do."

How special is Delphi? It is the "holy place" of the gods of Olympus on the Heaton Peninsula. In terms of scale, Delphi is only equivalent to a small city-state. It has no city walls and is built on the half-waist of a large mountain. The main building is a variety of temples, and the main residents are the priests in each temple. The city-state dedicated the slaves of these priests.

As we all know, there are twelve main gods in the Olympus deity. The main gods that each city state believes in are different, and they each do their part in the world. However, the existence of the concept of "Heaton United Kingdom" is not only due to geographical reasons. Although the nations have their own policies, there has always been a "Pan Heaton alliance". The core of maintaining this alliance is the Delphi God. Alas.

When the nations of Heaton want to act together, they will send representatives to Delphi to ask for deities. The deity obtained here is called Delphi Deity, which has the highest authority over the deities of the city states. The annual sacrifice ceremony here is attended by representatives from various states. It is the most important ritual of the sacrifice of God in the United Kingdom of Heaton.

Therefore, Delphi's status is nominally independent of states, and it is not involved in civil war disputes between city states. But Delphi ’s superficial position is bound to be affected by complicated political and military influences. When the Aaron League dominated, Delphi ’s ordinance was controlled by the Aaron, leading the city-states to Delphi. It was also the Aaron who sacrificed to the gods.

Now that the Aaron Alliance is in a difficult situation, the Kibada Alliance has the absolute upper hand in the hegemony, and the right to proclaim the Delphi oracle is controlled by the Kibada people. This has been commonplace in the history of Heaton Peninsula, and it is often the most powerful state that has the power to promulgate the Delphi oracle, and in fact becomes the leader of the United Kingdom of Heaton.

But what Philip II had to do was different from his predecessors in history. According to the original tradition, he had to subject the city-states to surrender and establish the strongest Macedonian alliance before trying to control the Delphi oracles. However, he dispatched troops very simply, and decided to occupy Delphi directly. This move will inevitably lead to the fear and opposition of other city-states.

When Philip II did so, all potential enemies would become open opponents, but he decided. This may be related to the deities of Zeus, but the more important reason is that Philip II did not just want to be the hegemon of the Heaton Peninsula, nor was he trying to establish a powerful Macedonian alliance, but to unify the Heaton Peninsula into a whole Country.

If the success of the Delphi occupation, it will lay the foundation for the complete unification of the Kingdom of Macedonia in the future of the Heaton Peninsula; if it fails unfortunately, it will be an act of enemies. Maybe it will also sin the gods and expose all potential enemies. So this time Philip II decided to go for an expedition and not allow his heir Alexander to participate.

At Alexander's age, it was the time when he loved adventures and impulses in his nature. It was his army that he set up, but he could not participate in it. He was naturally sullen and uninterested in doing anything. At this time, he remembered the old scholar Aristotle who always taught him, so he went to the teacher to complain.

Aristotle smiled and reassured him: "It is the most normal practice for the king to collect the king and leave the heir to the throne, and your responsibility lies here. Why should you sigh?

Alexander said with some sorrow: "I understand the truth, otherwise I would not stay obediently in Macedonia. But that is a battle formation I created myself, and a legion formed and trained by one hand. I have no chance to perform such a major task Participate, you cannot personally verify its combat effectiveness and enjoy that glory and achievement. "

Aristotle also advised: "War not only means glory and achievement, this war will determine the future of the Heaton Peninsula and even the status of the gods. No one will make a person who is only nineteen years old and never went to war. The generals who passed the battlefield took command, and this was irresponsible for the fate of the entire kingdom.

If your father and king succeed, the glory and achievement will still belong to you, because that is the army you formed and trained, but the commander on the battlefield should be responsible for more experienced people. Summarizing the gains and losses of this new combat method in actual combat will allow you to better exercise and train your army in the future.

If this expedition is unsuccessful and even sins against the gods, it is not your sin. The Kingdom of Macedonia is still here, and you will inherit it, and you will inherit all your experiences and lessons. Your father's approach is in fact carrying charges that may be caused, removing as many obstacles as possible for you. You should not sigh, but be grateful. "

Aristotle was telling Alexander clearly that Philip II was responsible for the dirty and tiring work, and that the consequences that might offend the gods and the infamousness he incurred were also carried by him, but he cleared the obstacles on the road and glorified and Achievement is left to future heirs. Philip II may not be a benevolent and wise monarch, but from the perspective of his father, what he did for Alexander was close to perfection.

Alexander was somewhat flat-hearted, and of course he could figure it out, but asked a little unwillingly: "I heard that when Mr. Amon was the head of the Ecuador-La Corps, he was only 19 years old. That was the legion he had formed and trained with Mr. Medanzo. If Mr. Amon was left during the expedition, what would he think? "

Aristotle smiled slightly. "You can ask Amon."

Amon just came in and calmly replied, "His prince, I am not in the same situation as you. I do not have the responsibility of supervising the country, and my purpose on the battlefield is to save my people. The Legion was just a partial division, purely to attract the attention of the enemy. No one expected me to win the battle.

During the expedition, the real main force was the Horus Legion and Isis Legion led by Pharaoh. It was because of the defeat of the main force that I had my work. Today, the Delphi Army you formed is the main force of the Macedonian Army, led by your father. Take me as an example. Do you want your father to fail and wait for your success? "

Alexander quickly stood up and explained, "I have no such idea!"

Amon nodded and said, "Without this thought, don't have this sigh. When we sigh, we must be clear about what we are sighing!"

In the presence of this deity, Alexander was always unruly, and he bowed, "I see. Thank you for your solution."

Aristotle also said: "Your identity is more than just a legionnaire. You ca n’t be just military. You will inherit this kingdom in the future. Now you can learn from the ministers how to deal with various government affairs. Solve all aspects of governing a country. Now that you understand, hurry back to the palace. "

After Alexander had gone, Medanzo went into the room, frowning, and said, "Philip II captured Delphi first. This is a move to enemies. If not, he will open the sin gods, no matter if he wins or loses, he will be on a horse honeycomb. "

Amon said with a smile: "I am afraid that the purpose of a **** is to unify the Heaton Peninsula, which is to unify the Olympian gods. To complete this task, the Kingdom of Macedonia must first control the gods of Olympus in the world. Holy place. "

Medanzo also said: "Today's Delphi shrine is released by the Temple of Apollo, while the long-time Delphi shrine is released by the Temple of Themis. This goddess of Themis is not you The Artemis you know is not one of the twelve main gods of Olympus today. Have you heard of her? "

Amon shook his head and said, "I don't know very well that this situation may be caused by the war of the gods, because Zeus replaced the original creation god."

Medanzo asked again, "But why is the current Delphi shrine released by the Temple of Apollo?"

Aristotle explained: "I do n’t want to interject about the gods, but I know more about Heaton's history. According to ancient legends, in the battle of the gods you mentioned, Zeus won, and Apollo Maybe he contributed the most. This is the victory he achieved. On the other hand, it may be that he has received the most contributions in the world. This is the result of historical inheritance. As for the goddess Themis, it is the fairness and justice in Heaton myth The **** of justice, Delphi, was released by her shrine long ago. "

Medanzo laughed: "If Philip II occupied Delphi and the Kingdom of Macedonia controlled the promulgation of the Delphi shrine, then the Delphi shrine will probably be released from the Temple of Zeus. Apollo may not be willing . "

Amon smiled, "Zeus wants to see it."

Aristotle smiled bitterly: "Do you remember the drama you watched in the city of Aaron? The Temple of Apollo masters the Delphi shrine, so this **** has been the most ridiculed in the world. In" Oedipus "In the play, the wall of the Temple of Apollo was engraved with the phrase" Know Yourself ", which was Delphi's Temple of Apollo."

Amon said with emotion: "In fact, such words are also written to the gods, and the gods should know what kind of **** they are."
