Following Jerryâs order, the 300,000 Macedonian phalanx troops lined up at the front!
âEveryone, be careful. This army is the main force of the Sky Dynasty. Its name is the Macedonian Phalanx Troops,â Marquis Anyang said in a deep voice. Although they did not know why it was called this name, they had seen how powerful this army was.
During the past few days, they had been fighting with the Macedonian Phalanx.
As for the battle result...
They had been crushed in every way that counted.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
This army was extremely disciplined. As long as the commander gave the order, the soldiers would immediately carry it out.
Moreover, when they fought, they were as fierce as beasts.
They were valiant and did not fear death, regarding their enemies as if their prey.
Furthermore, after the Sky Dynasty soldiers killed their enemies, they would cut off their enemiesâ ears and put them into an iron jar hanging at their belt.
It was said that they would be rewarded for the number of ears. A pair of ears represented a head, which in turn represented a military merit.
So these soldiers looked like devils in the eyes of a normal army.
âEveryone, you must be very careful!â
Marquis Anyangâs expression was extremely gloomy. The enemyâs army was so powerful. This was not good news for him; even though he had a million soldiers and his enemy only had a few hundred thousand people, he still felt a bone-chilling fear.
Everyone nodded solemnly.
They knew of Marquis Anyangâs strength. He had been the military commander for more than ten years and rarely suffered defeat.
He looked grim and had not gain any victories in the past few days, which told them that the Macedonian Phalanx was very strong.
Sure enough, the moment they met the Macedonian Phalanx, the latter displayed extremely strong strength.
Along with the sounds of orderly footsteps, the phalanx soldiers thrust out weapons abruptly, stabbing down a large number of enemies while blocking their enemiesâ attacks with shields.
Around the battleground, there were many raised platforms looking like small beacon towers.
On top of them stood the generals of the Sky Dynasty.
In the central platform sat Jerry flanked by Alexander and Athena.
They were the commanders of the battle.
And standing on the other beacon towers were the Greek gods!
In the final charge the leaders were the Greek gods and heroes.
They had different roles in the battle according to their abilities.
Athena looked at Alexander.
âMr. Alexander, please give the command.â
Athena was a proud goddess, but there were times when she was humble.
This was because although she had supreme divine power and was called the goddess of war, most of the time, she won the battles relying on her divine power.
In terms of strategy, she did not have much experience.
Therefore, she admired Alexander for his ability in making military strategies and tactics.
Sometimes, mortals were no less smart than gods, especially those who stood at the top of the world.
They just didnât have godsâ divine power.
Besides, this was also Jerryâs order.
Athena always followed Jerryâs orders.
Alexander nodded and did not stand on ceremony with her.
He immediately stood up and gave the order.
âListen to the drums! Spread Out!â
As Alexander gave the order, the impassioned sound of the war drums resounded throughout the entire battlefield.
The Greek gods on the beacon towers heard the order from the sound of the drums.
They turned around and raised a huge flag that was several meters long.
Following a certain pattern, they started to wave it!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Hearing the beats of the drums and seeing the waving flags, the entire army received the order!
The 300,000 Macedonian troops suddenly split up, intending to surround the one million enemies.
âTheyâre trying to surround us?â
Marquis Anyang narrowed his eyes.
âWhat a joke. We have one million soldiers. Even though their army is strong, if they scatter the force to surround us, they would be courting death!â
âThatâs right. If we destroy them one by one, or even charge directly at Jerry in the center of the army, we can win!â
As his generals talked excitedly, Marquis Anyang felt that something was wrong, but this was indeed a good opportunity.
After all, they outnumbered their enemies and the latter dared to surround them. It was a suicidal act.
After all, Anyang could focus his force to attack one weak point and tear open a hole in the siege. Then heâd even make a counter-encirclement.
This kind of tactic meant that the enemies simply didnât understand the situation on the battlefield and they knew nothing about the art of war!
Did they think they could take down the one million army so easily? !
But what Marquis Anyang and his people didnât know was that the situation in their minds was only suitable for normal armies!
It was true if the battle strengths of both sides werenât on the same level.
But Jerry felt that his 400 thousand troops had a battle strength on par with that of the1.2 million alliance army!
In fact, his army was even stronger!
Under Alexanderâs orders, the 300,000 Macedonian Phalanx troops surrounded the 1.2 million troops.
If one were to look down from the sky thousands of meters from the ground, they would see on the vast plain a thin encirclement around the densely packed troops in the middle.
The encirclement looked very fragile and could be broken though if their enemies focused fire on one spot!
But just as they concentrated their full strength to attack Jerry who was sitting on the commander platform, an army suddenly appeared!
This army did not have heavy armor. They were light armored infantry troop.
Compared to the Byzantine armored cavalry, they were lightly equipped.
Moreover, their weapons were short swords or long spears with a shield.
However, the sharp killing intent emitting from their bodies showed that this troop was extraordinary.
This was the 80,000 Spartan heavy infantry!
They had once created a battle record of 500 people blocking the advance of 100,000 soldiers!
Even though all of them died in the end, such a battle record was incredible.
âWhat is he doing? Could it be that he plans to kill us with this troop within the encirclement?â Marquis Anyang said in disbelief. This troop only had 100,000 soldiers, right?
And inside the encirclement were a total of 1.2 million soldiers!
