Chapter 147 We are cousins
The battle started suddenly and ended suddenly. After the cavalry completely dispersed the enemy's offensive in Issus, these people finally lost the courage to fight and began to flee in all directions.
This was a complete victory for the Macedonian soldiers. It was already a great achievement that 30,000 to 40,000 people could achieve such a victory against an attack of hundreds of thousands of people.
Li Mu rushed to the front of the phalanx. The soldiers here were seriously injured. Many soldiers' spears were broken at this moment. The corpses piled in front were already half a person high. Waves of heat were rising in them, and the smell of body and blood was intertwined.
Among them, there were soldiers slashing at the corpses with short swords and pulling out the intact spears that were stuck inside. Some people also began to clean the battlefield, removing everything from the corpses and sending them to the back.
Most of this was done by the skirmishers. The spearmen just took their spears back and then helped up their teammates, standing neatly in the team and waiting for orders.
They looked at the stragglers who were looting property and shouting with disdain.
Li Mu also knew that these spearmen were composed of citizens of the kingdom or warriors with low-level noble titles. They were also the absolute main force in this battle, and they had enough capital to be proud of.
Li Mu came to the front of the team. The burly man before was already covered in blood. He saluted Li Mu and then said immediately.
"Captain, we are ready, what should we do next?"
Li Mu looked around and saw that the surrounding phalanxes were slowly retreating, so he ordered the troops to retreat as well.
The soldiers in this phalanx were still arranged neatly, turning back row by row from the front row, putting the spears in their hands on their shoulders, and then slowly retreated.
The troops withdrew from the battlefield, and the sun in the distance began to gradually exert its heat. Waves of hot wind swept in, mixed with the smell of the battlefield, making people feel a little uncomfortable.
Li Mu was standing on one side of the phalanx at the moment, glancing towards the other side.
Alexander came to review the troops at this time, and all the phalanxes stood neatly waiting for the young emperor's review.
Li Mu also wanted to see with his own eyes what this brave emperor of the West looked like, so although he stood upright, the two eyes under Li Mu's helmet were still staring at the approaching cavalry phalanx.
There was a graceful and elegant man inside who immediately caught Li Mu's attention. His face was completely in line with people's aesthetics of Western men. He was a very handsome man.
The armor he wore also made him look iron-blooded, making people admire him a little.
Sure enough, this person who spans three continents has a unique personality charm.
Li Mu looked at the other party intently, and found that the other party had already walked in front of his square formation, and at this time, these cavalrymen slowly stopped.
Li Mu looked serious at the moment, but he was a little surprised. Sure enough, the system could still do things, and his character would indeed be related to such a character.
I just don’t know what good skills the emperor of the empire has. Now that I have 770 energy points, I should be able to buy a human-level strategic skill.
Li Mu was thinking in his mind, and several horses stopped nearby, and the noble young man on the tall horse was also walking towards him.
Li Mu lowered his head slightly, waiting for the other party to ask him.
"Opuno, why are you in such a mess?"
The expectant voice suddenly sounded, and Li Mu raised his head happily, but suddenly his expression was stunned, and he realized that the other person was talking to Philip next to him.
Looking at the handsome emperor who looked at Philip with indifference, Li Mu felt very embarrassed at the moment.
But Alexander just glanced at Li Mu, and then continued to ask Philip with a very concerned tone.
"My dear Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with me. I am just a little impulsive due to the fierce fighting."
At this time, Philip seemed very indifferent to Alexander's concern. He even used honorifics and answered slowly in an ups and downs tone, just like a high-ranking nobleman.
Li Mu looked at the fat man's before and after comparison and was dumbfounded.
But at this time, Li Mu was more curious about the relationship between this fat man and Alexander. Philip was not a good general, so how could he be so concerned about him.
Also, if Philip was someone Alexander valued highly, why should he be a front-line commander in the army? Couldn't he be given a lighter position?
Li Mu couldn't figure this out, and his eyes were going back and forth between the two people. At this time, Philip and Alexander were chatting about the battle just now. Philip's eyes flickered, and then he looked at Li Mu next to him and quickly mentioned something.
"My dear Majesty, my phalanx is also thanks to my adjutant Yake, who followed me to block the gap and prevented the phalanx soldiers from being slaughtered."
The fat man looked serious at the moment and spoke in a heavy tone, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, all the credit for Li Mu fell into his pocket.
However, Li Mu didn't feel anything about this. At the moment, he just felt that the fat man was giving him face, so he stood by and finally had the courage to mention him, so that Alexander could notice him.
Sure enough, Alexander looked at Li Mu with interest when he heard this sentence, but the next moment he was a little surprised and said thoughtfully.
"You are Yak. Opuno has told me about you several times."
"I heard that you have a sister?" Alexander suddenly changed the topic, and Li Mu's grinning mouth suddenly stopped.
Alexander sat on the horse and looked at Li Mu's stunned appearance, and he laughed a few times.
"Don't panic. Opono is a good man. He will treat your sister well. Of course, this must first be approved by you."
It turned out that Alexander also knew about this, and the fat man was still standing nearby winking and smiling at Li Mu.
Li Mu didn't say anything, he just stroked his chest and said: "It is my duty to serve your Majesty."
Seeing Li Mu's appearance, Alexander waved his hand, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said to Li Mu.
"Yak, are you really loyal to me?"
As Alexander said this, he also stretched out a leather shoe sandwiched between the horse's belly, and then looked at Li Mu.
Li Mu looked at his words and actions, and looked surprised at the moment. He looked at Philip next to him, but the other party kept winking at him.
"Kiss, kiss, kiss quickly"
Philip kept repeating this word to Li Mu in a low voice. Li Mu finally understood what he meant, and then looked at the shoe with some numbness.
This actually requires me to kiss this shoe. This is such a damn ancient etiquette.
Li Mu's eyes were wandering at the moment, but he couldn't care so much. He gritted his teeth, and then silently said in his heart that the system would choose the Strategy Technique when the time comes.
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Mu walked forward slowly, struggled for a moment while looking at the black leather shoes, and then kissed him with his eyes closed.
A strange feeling appeared on the lips, and at this time the system had popped up the pane.
[Scan person: Philip Alexander]
[Scan skills: Sky level strategy, 10,000 points, End of the earth: 1,000 points, Human level: 500 points, Ordinary level: 100 points, has reached the entry level]
[Heaven level spear skill: 1000 points, earth level: 500 points, human level: 100 points, reaching ordinary level]
[Heaven level spear throwing skill: 1000 points, earth level: 500 points, human level: 100 points, reaching ordinary level]
[Heaven level shield sword skill: 1000 points, earth level: 500 points, human level: 100 points, reaching ordinary level]
Skills pop up quickly one by one, which shows that Alexander is very powerful, and the strategic skills that Li Mu is most concerned about are also here, and the system has already checked them for him.
After kissing the shoes, Li Mu looked at Alexander again.
At this time, Alexander finally smiled with satisfaction and said to Li Mu: "Jacques, I will promote you to the military rank now, but your task is to protect Opuno."
Alexander obviously knew that Opuno was talking big words before, but after saying this to Li Mu, he walked towards other phalanxes next to him.
Li Mu froze on the spot and watched the other party leave, while Philip next to him came over at this time, smiled and congratulated next to Li Mu.
"Philip, what is your relationship with... His Majesty?" Li Mu asked in surprise at this time, and Philip Opono touched his nose.
"Have you forgotten that your Majesty's father is Philip II? That is my uncle, so your Majesty should be considered my cousin."
Li Mu suddenly staggered.
