William didn't mind that the two sisters Athena and Arthenis teamed up to deceive him on some insignificant matters.
After all, after all, after marrying the two sisters, the three of them already have a relationship that cannot be broken off easily.
Besides, the two of them kept the most precious thing for countless years, but they easily took advantage of it and helped him control the entire Olympus.
In the past few months, power has steadily passed into his own hands. Although the roles played by the two cannot be explained clearly,
However, the order in the God Realm was not at all chaotic, and he could not find a reason to find trouble.
Therefore, William just pretended to be unhappy, glared at his two wives, and ordered Sunday to make two sets of nano-vibranium vests for the two new unicorns.
"What kind of vest do you like? Tell Sunday yourself, or let him give you some suggestions."
"Thanks, dear".
Arthenis happily stood up on her tiptoes, kissed William on the cheek, and took Athena, who also smiled, to design her own harness and vest.
A few days passed unknowingly. As the ancient army marched, there were too many things to pay attention to.
The baggage, the physical strength of the soldiers, the physical strength of the livestock, and the roads are mostly small roads where only four or five people can walk abreast, so there is a saying that being able to travel hundreds of miles a day is an absolute elite.
In ancient China, cavalry did not dare to run freely. If they dared to run hundreds of kilometers every day, it would not take ten days, but only five days, and the horses would suffer extensive injuries and excessive physical exertion.
Therefore, even if the barbarians in Olympus are physically stronger than the people on Earth, they can only walk about 40 kilometers a day.
Of course, places like grasslands or plains would be much better.
This forced the barbarian king Hain, who had obtained the Bow of Epirus, to suppress his desire to advance with his Qingqi.
The total number of cavalry in his hands is only about two thousand at most. If he is besieged and there is a shortage of food and grass, he will have no choice but to become bandits and fight guerrillas.
Riding on a tall horse, on a hillside about ten meters high, looking at the troops stretching for dozens of miles, Hain was worried that he would be attacked.
He was also worried that when the 50,000-strong army reached the Hell Mountain where the Titans were sealed, he didn’t know how many Greek city-state armies would be waiting for him on the other side of the Sealed Mountain.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry."
Samir, who was riding behind Hain, had completely changed his image at this time, from a decadent and dying old man to a lackey with a bloody face, neat hair and hope in his eyes.
"We have difficulties marching, the Greeks also have to face this problem,
And based on my understanding of the Greek city-states, the city-states closest to us should still be arguing in the parliament about whether to fight or send people to negotiate with us.
By the time we arrived at Hell Mountain, the city-state responsible for guarding Hell Mountain might not have even issued a mobilization order.
I want to use the city wall built in the middle of the mountain to negotiate with us, or simply contribute some food and money and nominally submit to your feet in exchange for the army not attacking them.
There are even city-state councilors who would like to do business with you and sell you the property and slaves obtained from your army."
"Hahaha", Hain smiled noncommittally, but he firmly hoped in his heart that things were exactly as Samir said.
"If everything is as you said in a few days, then you will be my army staff officer, equivalent to a centurion."
"Thank you, thank you," Samir thanked him excitedly.
And Theseus, who was riding a horse just half a horse away from Hain, also turned around and nodded to Samir with a happy expression.
Then he asked Hain, "Your Majesty, would you like me to lead a team of a hundred cavalry to drive more poor people into the city of Hell Mountain for the army?"
In this way, if the army arrives, even if the huge city wall built in the valley of Hell Mountain is closed, more poor people will be able to consume the food in the hands of the city lord and councilors.
If you spend a lot of money, those losers who only care about money may be eager to negotiate with you.
And you can also take the opportunity to let the army that has been marching for about ten days settle down, recuperate for a few days, and charge into battle for you in full strength."
"Hahaha", in Hain's laughter, it was easy to tell that he was in a good mood.
He reached out and patted Theseus on the shoulder, "Go, my centurion. When you have made enough achievements, I will let you sit in the position of centurion.
I also asked you to form your own army of a thousand men to help me attack other cities.
When you conquer five major cities, you will become the lord of the fifth major city.
You and your descendants can be nobles for as long as the Kingdom of Crete exists."
As soon as these words came out, not only Samir was shocked, but the surrounding barbarian guards and generals were also surprised and stared at Theseus with burning eyes.
Hain looked at the marching army without looking back, and made a wish with a smile, "Don't worry, my loyal generals and soldiers, you also have the opportunity to become the lord of the city."
"Roar,,,".
All the barbarians who heard this excitedly beat their chests with their right hands and loudly expressed their loyalty to their king.
But Hain was thinking in his heart that when the Titans were released, the divine world was in chaos, and the gods had no time to pay attention to the mortal world, the 50,000 troops in his hands would not be able to conquer the entire ancient Greek city-state.
Even if you fight for ten big cities in a row, you will be considered lucky if you can survive with 20,000 people in the end.
Therefore, it was urgent to recruit Greeks like Theseus and form various armies composed mainly of slaves and poor people to fight for themselves.
With the example of Theseus, and the use of looted food and money to buy them, not to mention slaves and poor people, those unsuccessful generals and nobles must have dreamed of becoming city lords, or even greater nobles, and joined their side.
.
When Greece is truly unified, it will not need the permission of the gods, and it will be a god living in the world.
This idea is good and very feasible, but no one can guarantee that the city lords and nobles of the new kingdom will always be loyal to the king, can endure the benefits promised by the gods, and cannot afford to betray him with troops.
Moreover, in the eyes of Athena and Arthenis, William, who looked very similar to Zeus, would not just look at him.
At this time, on the marble floor more than ten meters away in front of him, eleven members of the Holy Knights wearing armor made by dwarves and wearing white robes were kneeling.
Strauss, who was in the ascetic group, put his legs on the ground and his forehead on the marble floor. With great excitement, he loudly said a dozen words of praise before waiting for William's instructions with a solemn expression.
William looked at the eleven knights with a smile, who could clearly feel the presence of Holy Light magic in their bodies. These knights had experienced several crises with him.
The knight who has even seen the devil, Mephisto, and went to Vanaheim to fight alongside Asgard is his most loyal subordinate.
