Amon thought thoughtfully! "The formation of the regiment on the continent of Tianshu is likely to change because of this. The battle array used by Alexander today maximizes the existing advantages of Macedonia.

I ’m afraid that future generations do n’t understand. When the situation changes, we still stick to the stereotypes, and thus wins and loses.

May Danzuo, have you moved your disciple's mind again? In fact, no need to regret, everyone has their own pursuit, even if the power of the source is awakened, there is little hope of becoming a god. Alexander ’s vow is to be a king, then be a king. You regret him. May I ask who else in the world is not worth the same spider ”

Amon stayed in Macedonia and was unobtrusive. Except for a few people who knew his identity, most Macedonians did not even notice his presence. As for Mei Danzuo, this handsome and mighty warrior is very eye-catching, but most people do not know his special identity. He only knows that he was a foreign warrior who had helped the mission on the road, and was very popular with Prince Alexander. Weigh.

After listening to Alexander ’s suggestion, King Philip II inquired in detail about the conversation between His Highness the Prince and Amon and others, and then summoned the ministers to discuss military reforms. In this way, the first legion was formed.

Although Macedonia is the most powerful state in the northern part of the Heaton Peninsula, there are only 1,800 warriors who have awakened their blood power, and there are only more than 1,000 standing cavalry. Philip II maximized the fighting power of the infantry and formed a long-gun battle array, which was later the Macedonian phalanx of Megatron. The first head of the regular army was his son Alexander.

Alexander became the commander of the army at the age of eighteen. This is not only the test of His Majesty the King to his heirs, but another more important reason is that the new infantry battle formation was created by Alexander. The legion was formally incorporated into 4,096 pikemen, and every 1,024 people formed an infantry thousand-person squad, led by a general.

Each of the Thousand Teams has four pike phalanxes, and each phalanx consists of 256 fighters. Every one of the 128 people form a combat unit, which can take turns alternately during the battle. This most basic combat unit is divided into two teams, each with 64 people, and a captain commanding.

Philip II sent the most experienced general in the kingdom, assisting Alexander in the military formation, and Mei Danzuo also often pointed to Alexander to help him make suggestions.

The four thousand spearmen are the core of the legion ’s combat, and Amon has pointed out the fatal flaws of this battle array, so he usually trains various arms to cooperate with the flanking protection. Cavalry and auxiliary infantry are also important for this legion. Most of their combat forces are composed of regular warriors.

Philip II had the ambition to unify the Sidon Peninsula. To achieve it, he started by building this legion, and allowed Alexander to establish authority in the process of forming the legion. Alexander, the 18-year-old head of the army, is the future heir of the Kingdom of Macedonia, and Philip II also hopes that he will gradually take control of the military from now on.

Since the return of the ambassador led by Aristotle, the shameful behavior of the Jaran people has become public. Everyone is waiting for when Philip II will send troops to fight against Jalen. However, when the new legion was formed, Philip II's first target of conquest was actually Delphi in the central part of the Heaton Peninsula.

The first army that Alexander personally assembled was named Delphi Corps. When Philip II decided to take the lead, he decided to leave Alexander in the country of Macedonia. His Majesty the King personally acted as the commander of the legion.

This army has a Master of Gods officer and two deputy Master of Gods officers. Merlin, the former high priest of Aaron, is one of the deputy Master of Gods officers. The immortal warrior Imole who returned with Merlin is also the four generals who command the Thousands. one.

It took one year to form and train the corps, but he was left behind when he really wanted to go out. The depression in Alexander ’s heart can be imagined. Philip II said to him, "My son, do n’t worry, everything in Macedonia will be yours in the future. Delphi is a very special place for all the people of Heaton. Some things are not for you. Do. "

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

As we all know, there are twelve Master of Godss in the Olympus system. The Master of Gods that each city-state believes in is different, and they do their own thing in the world. However, the existence of the concept of "the United Kingdom of Heaton" is not only due to geographical reasons. Although the states of the states are independent, there has always been a "Pan Heaton Union". The core of maintaining this alliance is the Oracle of Delphi. .

When the states of Heaton want to act together, they will send representatives to Delphi to ask the gods. The oracle obtained here is called the Oracle of Delphi, which has the highest authority over the oracles of the city-states. The annual sacrifice ceremony here, each state will send representatives to participate, it is the most important ritual ceremony of the United Kingdom of Heaton.

So Delphi ’s status is nominally independent of the states, and is not involved in the civil war disputes between the city states. However, Delphi ’s seemingly transcendent status is bound to be influenced by the complex political and military influences of the world. When the Allen League dominates, the promulgation power of the Delphi oracle is controlled by the Yaren, leading the city-states to delphi It was also the Jaronites who sacrificed to gods.

Now the Aaron League is in a difficult situation, the Kibada League has an absolute upper hand in the hegemony, and the power to promulgate the Delphi Oracle is controlled by the Kibada people. This has been commonplace in the history of the Heaton Peninsula, and it is often the most powerful nation that relies on its strength to control the promulgation of the Oracle of Delphi, thus in fact becoming the leader of the Heaton Heaton United Kingdom.

But what Philip II has to do is different from that of his predecessors in history. According to the original tradition, he must let the city-states submit to the establishment of the most powerful Macedonian alliance, and then try to control the Oracle of Delphi. However, he simply sent troops and decided to directly occupy Delphi. This move will inevitably lead to fear and opposition from other city-states.

Doing this by Philip II will cause all potential enemies to become open opponents, but he still decides. This may be related to the oracle of Zeus, but the more important reason is that Philip II did not just want to be the overlord of the Heaton Peninsula, nor did he want to establish a strong Macedonian alliance, but to unify the Heaton Peninsula into a complete Country.

If the occupation of Delphi succeeds, it will lay the foundation for the complete unification of the Kingdom of Macedonia in the future: if it fails unfortunately, it will be an act of enemies, and may even sin against gods and expose all potential enemies. So this time, Philip II decided to go in person and not allow his successor Alexander to participate.

At the age of Alexandria, it was the time when he was adventurous and impulsive in nature. It was such an important thing that he went on an expedition with the army he formed by himself, but he could not participate in it. . At this time, he remembered the old scholar Aristotle who always taught him dunday, so he went to the teacher to complain.

Aristotle smiled and reassured him: "The king personally enlisted, leaving the heir to the throne to supervise the country. This is the most normal way. Your responsibility is also here. Why should you sigh if you shoulder the responsibility you have to deal with?" Said: "I understand this reason, otherwise I will not be obediently stay in Macedonia. But that is the battle line that I created myself, and the corps formed and trained by myself. To perform such a major task, I did not have the opportunity to participate. Personally verify its combat effectiveness and enjoy the glory and achievements. "

Aristotle persuaded: "War not only means glory and achievement, this battle will determine the future of the Heaton Peninsula, and even the status of the gods. No one will make a man who is only 19 years old and has never been The generals of the battlefield command, which is not responsible for the destiny of the entire kingdom.

If your father succeeds, the glory and achievement still belong to you, because that is the legion you formed and trained, but the command on the battlefield should be handled by more experienced people. Summarizing the gains and losses of this new tactic in actual combat will allow you to better exercise and train the military formation in the future.

If this expedition is unfortunately unsuccessful, or even offend the gods, it is not your sin. The Kingdom of Macedonia is still here, and you will inherit it, as well as all your experiences and lessons. Your father's practice is actually to bear the crimes that may be caused, and to remove as many obstacles as possible for you. You should not sigh, but be grateful. Aristotle clearly told Alexander that Philip II was responsible for all the dirty and tiring jobs. The consequences and offenses that might offend the gods were also carried by him, but he smoothed the obstacles on the road and left glory and achievements Future heir. Philip II may not be a kind and wise monarch, but from the perspective of his father, what he has done for Alexander is close to perfection.

Alexander was slightly calm. Of course he could figure it out, but he asked a little unwillingly: "I heard that Mr. Amon was only 19 years old when he served as the commander of the Legion of Eguin-Ira. That's what he formed and trained with Mei Danzuo teacher. If Mr. Amon was left when he was on the expedition, what would he think? "Aristotle smiled slightly:" You can ask Amon. "Amon happened to be. He walked in and calmly replied: "His prince, my situation is different from yours. I have no responsibility to supervise the country, and my purpose on the battlefield is to save my people. The Anila Army was just A partial division, purely to attract the attention of the enemy, no one expected me to win the battle.

In that expedition, the real main force was the Horus and Isis Legions led by Pharaoh. It was because of the defeat of the main force that I had my merits. The Delphi Corps you formed today is the main force of the Macedonian army, led by your father himself. 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: "If there is no such idea, don't have such a sigh. When we sigh, we must know what we are sighing!" Alexander was involuntarily in front of this god. Moment, he bowed and said: "I understand, thank you for your explanation.

Aristotle also said: "Your identity is not just a regiment leader, you are not just interested in military affairs. You will inherit this kingdom in the future, and now you can learn from the ministers how to deal with various government affairs and solve Govern all aspects of a country. Now that you understand it, hurry back to the palace. "

Alexander is gone, May Danzuo walks into the house, frowning and saying, "Philip II first captured Delphi. This is an act of making enemies. If you do n’t do it, you will blame the gods, whether you win or lose. "Ma Honeycomb." Amon said with a smile: "I am afraid that the intention of a certain **** is the same. Unifying the Heaton Peninsula is to unify the Olympus domain. To complete this task, the Kingdom of Macedonia must first control the Olympus gods. A holy place in the world. "

Mei Danzuo added: "The oracle of Delphi today is released by the Temple of Apollo, and the oracle of Delphi a long time ago was released by the Temple of Themis. This goddess of Themis,

Not Artemis you know, nor one of the twelve Master of Godss of Olympus today. Have you heard of her? "

Amon shook his head and said: "I don't know very well, this situation may be caused by the battle of the gods, because Zeus replaced the original position of the creator god." Mei Danzuo asked again: "But now Why is the Oracle of Delphi released by the Temple of Apollo? "

Aristotle explained: "I do n’t want to intervene about 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 might The most effort, this is his victory. On the other hand, it may be that he has received the most contributions in the world, which is the result of historical inheritance. As for the goddess Themis, it is fairness and justice in Heaton mythology The god, the Oracle of Delphi was released by her temple a long time ago. "May Danzuo smiled:" If Philip II occupied Delphi, and the Kingdom of Macedonia controlled the right to issue the oracle of Delphi, then Delphi The oracle is about to be released from the Temple of Zeus. Apollo may not be willing. "

Amon also smiled: "Zeus is willing to see. ,,

Aristotle smiled bitterly: "Do you remember the drama you have seen in the city of Aaron? The Temple of Apollo masters the Oracle of Delphi, so this **** is also the most ridiculed in the world. In" King Oedipus " In that play, the wall of the Temple of Apollo was inscribed with the phrase "know yourself" and said the Temple of Apollo in Delphi., ...

Amon said with emotion: "In fact, that kind of thing is also written for the gods. The gods should know what kind of **** they are.
