Chapter 484 The Famous Generals of the East and the West 【Ticket Request】

"Even the gods can't remove the whip marks..."

Afti knelt down in front of the statue, praying devoutly.

She returned to the Macedonian capital not long ago.

Every plant and tree here has been migrated from the old capital, and everything remains the original appearance of the old capital.

The old capital of Macedonia before it was forced to move by the Romans was a once glorious city.The place where Alexander lived, the glorious capital of Macedonia.

Unfortunately, it was plundered by the Romans decades ago and almost destroyed.

After the Macedonians migrated, they rebuilt the capital, and everything imitated the appearance of the old capital.

Aphti had the ability to listen to the secret words of the gods when she was young, and she was able to repeat the secret words of the gods when she was an adult.

Therefore, since a hundred years ago, there was no priest who could communicate with the gods, and the miracle of gaining the favor of the gods was reproduced in her body, and then she became famous and became a well-known genius priest.

However, after she came back, she prayed continuously for more than four hours in front of the statue of the God of Wisdom among the twelve main gods.

The 'god' did respond, and his divine favor for her deepened, but it did not remove the mark of the beating on her body.

The setting sun shines at night, and the fiery red light shines into the temple.

Avti was dressed in pure white divine robes and looked as usual as she walked out of the temple with graceful steps.

What no one knew was that she was struggling to endure the pain of the whipping and wanted so badly to scream.

"Priest Avti, the king invites you to the palace."

Another court priest waited outside the temple, bowed and said.

The priest was a young man, and under Aphti's cold gaze, he humbly lowered his head, not daring to look directly.

Avti entered the main hall of the palace two quarters of an hour later.

She changed into a divine robe and added a crown of flowers on top of her head.

This is her tiara as a priest of the Second Court.

In the main hall of the Macedonian palace, King Perseus IV sat.

In ancient Greek mythology, Perseus was the son of the God-King, which had the same meaning as the Emperor of Han Dynasty.

Perseus IV was over fifty.

But he was a vigorous emperor, with broad shoulders, a high nose and eagle eyes, and gray-green curly hair, giving him an imposing manner.

The main hall of the palace is large in area. There are stone pillars with vertical patterns at the entrance, which is magnificent.

Perseus sat solemnly on the throne opposite the entrance, nearly twenty feet deep.

In the hall, there were many Macedonian civil and military generals.

On the left, below the monarch's throne, stands another high priest.

That is also Macedonia's current chief priest of the court, Bixiut, a somewhat pudgy old man.

The vacant space opposite to it is where Afti stands.

And under the steps in front of the throne, stood an old man who was nearly sixty years old and dressed in gorgeous robes.

He was Prince Lumli, uncle of Mithridates, who had just come from the Parthian frontier.

"...Dear Lord of Macedonia, take a closer look at the leather scroll I presented to you. It records the trajectory of the Han army's conquests in recent years."

Prince Lumli of Parthia looked around, his voice had a metal-like friction, and it sounded harsh:
"In the past four years, the Han Dynasty has successively conquered hundreds of tribes such as Baiyue and Qiangdi around its borders.

There are also their nomadic tribes in the northeast, and the Huns who are not weaker than my Parthia.

Then there are nearly fifty countries in the Western Regions, and Shendu, which Alexander the Great once set foot in, was also conquered by him. "

"The Da Yue clan, who were able to conquer and fight well, has been wiped out by the Han people, and the whole family has become slaves of the Han people."

Lumley's voice was impassioned and raised a little higher:
"Nowadays, even slave Han people are no longer needed, and they start killing captives, just to conquer more land.

The Han in the east is a very terrifying country. We must unite and deal with the Han army together. "

Afti, who came to her place and stood still, was also shocked when she heard Lumli's words.

She had just heard some of the news that Lumli said, and she thought to herself: There may be some parts of Parthia’s intentional exaggeration in order to persuade His Majesty to join the war, but even if a small part of it is true, it is enough amazing.

The Macedonians knew that Parthia was adjacent to the Great Yuezhi, and the Great Yuezhi was adjacent to the body poison.

These two big countries were actually conquered by the Han... The news that Lumli said reverberated like thunder in the main hall of the palace.

Even Perseus IV, who was always calm and calm even when the Romans approached the border, also frowned.

"Respected King of Macedonia, you are wise and wise. It is not difficult to see that I, Parthia, are like a gateway, blocking the Han Chinese from marching west.

If Parthia is breached, no one can resist the Eastern Army and force Macedonia. "

Lumley is a good lobbyist, stating the stakes:
"Our Majesty Mithridati also said that the Han general who is attacking us is called a champion in the East. He is a talented general who has never failed. He is not yet 20 years old this year.

His military ability, even if it goes back hundreds of years, can only be compared with Alexander the Great. I hope Macedonia will pay enough attention. "

As soon as these words came out, the Macedonian civil and military personnel in the hall immediately became restless.

You must know that Alexander is the pride of all Macedonians.

In the countries around the Mediterranean, for hundreds of years, the most famous generals and commanders had a miraculous ranking.

Those who were on the list were enshrined in temples, similar to the Bingfu Temple in the Han Dynasty.

Among them are Alexander, Pyrrhus, and Hannibal Bacca, who have survived for thousands of years and are well-known generals throughout history.

Among them, Alexander is the most dazzling name, and countless people regard him as the God of War, the greatest commander in history.

"No matter how powerful that Eastern general is, it is impossible to compare with my Macedonian king, Alexander the Great. According to what you mean, an Eastern general can not only enter our command sequence, but also be the strongest one?"

A young man in his 30s walked out of the position of the ministers in the hall.

He is a famous contemporary Macedonian general and the second son of Perseus, Lore. He idolized Alexander when he was a boy.

He once led the Macedonian legion to resist the invasion of the Romans and achieved great success.

At this time, Lore said:

"Your Majesty, I would like to call for a war and lead my troops to participate in the coalition. In at most two months, I will defeat the Han army and capture the Han general from the east alive, hang him outside the capital of my Macedonian king, and let the Han know that I am a Macedonian. No country from the East can compare."

"It's even more impossible for an Oriental to be compared with Alexander the Great!"

Lumley was secretly delighted.

He knew that Alexander was the source of Macedonian pride, saying that generals from the east could compare with Alexander, and no Macedonian could bear it.

"We should indeed unite to resist the Han army and protect this glorious place where Alexander the Great was born."

Lumley's beard moved up and down as he spoke, and spoke again:

"His Majesty Mithridati said that if the Han army can be repelled, we can give up the entire Budali Plain to Macedonia."

"I, Parthia, will also become the closest partner with Macedonia, and help Macedonia resist the Romans together."

Under the threat of the Han army, cooperation will benefit others and self.

The Lord of Macedonia knew it a long time ago, so he was willing to send troops to join the coalition.

On the throne, Perseus IV nodded slightly:
"Although I don't think the Han people you mentioned have the wisdom and strength compared to Alexander, but the coalition is what we should do to avoid further losses."

When Afti left the palace, it was already late.

Soon after, Macedonia will send an additional [-] troops, led by the second son of the king, Lor, to gather in the southwestern plains of Parthia.

Two times successively, more than [-] troops were dispatched, which was the limit of Macedonian soldiers and horses that could be mobilized except for the soldiers left behind.

It's getting dark.

Afti returned to her bedroom next to the palace.

She took off her divine robe, looked back, and saw that the two whip marks were still clearly branded on the place where she was whipped, emitting strength from time to time.

Even the gods can't get rid of them, what should I do...

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the palace, and someone entered her bedroom without knocking.

Afti felt a little helpless.

There was only one person who could enter and leave her chamber at will, and that was her friend and one of the two shining pearls of Macedonia, Memnon Rudy.

Memnon is one of the national surnames of Macedonia, and Memnon Lodi is a member of the Macedonian royal family.

"I knew you were coming back, so I wanted to come here in the morning, but you went to pray, and you were summoned to the palace by your uncle (lord) just now."

The person who walked in was a girl wearing a navy blue dress who seemed to be more beautiful and delicate than Afti.

To be precise, she is more friendly than Aphti, making people's eyes fall on her and they cannot bear to look away.

The girl and Aphti have the same sea blue eyes and long blond hair.

But different from Afti's indifference and honesty, her nose bridge is straight, her skin is puffy, her eyes are lively and full of love for life itself.

The young girl's breasts are extremely burdened, and the skirt of the court dress needs to be carefully closed so as not to be stretched open.

She is tall and tall, with a standard gourd-shaped waist-to-hip ratio.

"Why did you come back so soon? Didn't you say that we wanted to unite to resist the invaders from the east?"

"How about it, our great, future, and most beautiful god-priest has personally taken action, and has already eliminated the invaders from the east." Memnon Luodi said jokingly.

I was almost eliminated by him, and I was whipped...Afti had a sad face.

Only she didn't need to hide it for Rudy, she took a light breath, and directly told the process of encountering Huo Qubing.

After hearing this, Luodi opened his eyes in surprise: "You said that you were whipped by that eastern invader, and our Macedonian powerful army was defeated by thousands of people with one army formation?"

Afty nodded.

Luo Di was incredulous: "My god, is he the resurrection of Alexander the Great, so powerful?"

Afti dissatisfied: "He is my opponent, I will definitely kill him to wash away my shame!"

Luo Di said in surprise: "But he feels so strong. You were beaten back without even making a move. How could you kill him?"
Didn’t you say that not even the gods can remove his mark? "

Afti said: "Don't forget, I have the forbidden chapter blessed by the gods, and there is also an artifact of wisdom that can be used. No one can resist the combined power of the artifact of wisdom and the forbidden chapter."

"I'll be looking for him soon."

In addition to sending envoys to Macedonia, Parthia was also actively contacting other parties.

Including the nomadic peoples around the Caspian Sea north of Parthia.

Armenia sent envoys to Antioch to seek an alliance.

At the same time, in the city of Nordial.

Inside the Han army camp, Zhang Qian walked into the mansion in the center of the city.

As soon as I entered the mansion, I smelled a smell of meat.

As they moved forward, the voices of people talking also came into their ears.

Enter the atrium of the back house.

Gongsun Hong, Huo Guang, and several generals of the Han army who were not on the expedition, Gongsun He and Su Jian were all there, sitting in the open air.

A bonfire was burning in the yard.

There were two whole lambs on the shelf, and they were very eaten, no vegetarian, all meat.

The mutton is grilled with fat, fat inside and slightly burnt outside.

There is also a big pot next to it, and the fresh and tender mutton is poured into the pot, sprinkled with salt, and stewed with the simplest condiments.

The freshness and sweetness of the meat itself will be fully stimulated.

Bai Nanyu used a seven-inch butcher knife to cut off the best steak from the lamb, put it in front of Huo Qubing, and handed the remaining two ribs to Xiong San beside him.

Xiong Sansuao's bone talent is quite remarkable, his tongue is fighting against the sheep's skull like a meat hook.

The umami of mutton fills the courtyard, and it is served with a bowl of mutton soup sprinkled with chopped green leaves, tsk.

Behind Huo Qubing there were big cats and fat tigers squatting, drooling anxiously, waiting to be fed.

Zhang Qian has been traveling around the Western Regions, Shendu, Da Yuezhi and other places during this time.

He has the practice of the Yin Yang family, and has traveled across thousands of rivers and mountains to absorb the energy of heaven and earth from different regions and landforms, which is of great benefit to his practice.

"The Marquis wants me to go as envoy to the Seleucid Kingdom and go to Antioch, its capital, to convince them not to join the alliance?"

"Yes."

Huo Qubing: "The so-called far-distance and close-attack, the Seleu Empire fell apart, and most of the land was occupied by Parthia.

They are very hostile to Parthia and will not easily join the alliance.Although we are not afraid of them even if they join, but it is more beneficial to weaken their power from the inside and reduce our consumption, which can defeat Parthia faster. "

Zhang Qian nodded: "No problem, this is my duty, and I originally wanted to do something for my great man, your majesty, and the marquis.

Without further ado, I'm going west tonight. "

Huo Qubing nodded: "I'll send troops to take you there. Our people are fighting Parthia along the way. Be careful on the way."

The dinner was held until the beginning of the next month. Zhang Qian entered the Parthian border directly after the meal under the escort of the Han army, and went west to Andi as an envoy.

Huo Qubing returned to the back house of the temporary mansion.

After reading Han Xin's book of war in the study, he went to the sleeping hall.

The sky is full of stars and moon.

The moment he walked into the house, a short knife was stabbed out of the darkness behind the door without any warning, and it went straight to his throat with lightning speed.
