Chapter 2068 Alexander's War Base

"I am Iskandar! Alexander III, King of Macedonia, Conqueror of Persia, Pharaoh of Egypt, Son of the Sun God Amon, Conqueror from the West to the East, commanding thousands of people to conquer the world The people at the end."

The first dead person to stand up was the famous Alexander the Great. This king, who was famous for his bravery and wisdom and built a great empire spanning three continents in Europe, Asia and Africa, died young because of acute illness. There are different opinions about his death, but the place where he was finally buried was Egypt, a place that although he conquered, he loved and supported him from the bottom of his heart.

He also returns here with his soul, but because of the dormancy of the gods, he has to settle in the abyss of death. However, this did not dampen his ambition and aspirations, so when Alexia reopened the gate of the underworld and greeted the dead with the water of the Nile, he, the king who had been sleeping for thousands of years, was not to be outdone. He rushed into the mortal world that he had once conquered, almost as if fighting for the first place.

At this time, he was also the first to make the appeal, and the reason for his appeal was also very righteous.

"The dead who are fortunate to return to this world with me. I am under great pressure to return to the world after a thousand years. The purpose is to complete my unfinished ambition. To complete my conquest that died in the middle! This is exactly The mission given to me by God is God’s mercy for my unfinished life. Dead people, I sincerely invite you to join me. Come with me to conquer the whole world, and as a reward, I press Shanda Willing to share the whole world with you. Water and soil, blood and glory, everything! As long as you are willing to offer loyalty... So, what is your answer?"

Resurrected as a king in this world, the special thing about Alexander is that he was resurrected on a horse.

A tall black steed, as majestic as a legendary Pegasus. This is Alexander's favorite horse, Buciferas. A famous horse that was tamed by Alexander when he was young, and accompanied him in all the battles until he died in the battle of Cedarpeas River.

Alexander regarded it as a close friend, and after it died in battle, he held a grand funeral for it, and even built a city named Busifala to commemorate it. As far as treatment goes, the horse has been treated heroically. And it is precisely because of such special treatment that the name of Busifalas has been sung by countless masterpieces and even biographies, so that it still breaks away from the barriers of a horse itself, possesses mythical characteristics, and becomes Alexander The symbol of the Great Emperor, the king who wanted to conquer the world.

Alexander, one of the most famous kings in human history. How can his recovery be taken lightly? Just like in Egyptian mythology, many resuscitated dead will have unimaginable spells, mighty power, and even be promoted to gods. As the former pharaoh of Egypt, Alexander may not be able to reach the level of being promoted to a god, but he will definitely not be just a brave mortal anymore.

Busifalas is just a symbol of the authority he possessed after his resurrection, and there are many other symbols like this, for example, those who accompanied him in the north and south, fought bloody battles, and fell on the journey with the same dream. Warriors above.

As they entrusted their dreams to this king during their lifetime, and carried them together with him, even if they died, they would willingly accompany this king and sink into the silt of the underworld together with him. And now that they are resurrected in the same way, they will naturally continue to guard their king just like they did before.

Vigorous war horses, traditional Greek armor, raised spears and daggers, accompanied by their mighty shouts, they were obviously the first to respond to the king's call.

The number of people is not large, after all, there are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dead here. At best, they are only tens of thousands of people, and they can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. But it was the first to win. With such a large-scale and organized group of people responding first, many of the dead who were still vacillating and not sure whether they should obey had subconsciously approached Alexander.

With the first, soon there will be the second. In a short period of time, millions of people have gathered around Alexander, and this number is still increasing.

After all, Alexander the Great's reputation is really resounding. Even if it is said that none of these dead people belonged to the same era, some of them were even separated from Alexander by thousands of years. But living on this land, they can be said to have grown up listening to Alexander's stories.

This is a figure whose great achievements cannot be obliterated even by fanatical religion, but it is also natural, and it is only natural that they are easily impressed by the king's spirit from ordinary people.

Soon, nearly half of the undead gathered around Alexander. And seeing that such a huge scale chose to follow him, even a character like Alexander was inevitably a little complacent.

You must know that in his era, although he was known as the lord of the great empire spanning Europe, Asia and Africa, and the conqueror of the world, in fact, the number of soldiers under his command had never reached the scale of 100,000.

Whether it was the soldiers from Macedonia and Greece at the earliest, or the servants summoned from Persia, Egypt and even India later, at most he gathered tens of thousands of people to fight with the enemy.

This is the limitation of the productivity and system of the times. In the Greek country of Macedonia, soldiers served their rulers as hired men. The people's soldiers are basically voluntary, not state-style recruitment, which has led to the barrier of the source of soldiers, and these Greek countries are already stuck.

It was not easy for a city-state in ancient Greece to train hundreds of qualified soldiers. Even Athens, which was the wealthiest at that time, and Sparta, which had the most powerful military, had at most only ten thousand soldiers belonging to their own city-state.

This is still a theoretical existence, because judging from the economy of the city-state alone, it is difficult for their economy to support the expenditure of tens of thousands of troops. This is the same even in Sparta, where all men are qualified soldiers.

Because if the Spartans want to eat and pay wages, and Sparta's economy is entirely based on the exploitation of their slaves, Helaus. Once the pressure of the war is too great, it is likely to lead to the uprising of Helotes.

This is how Sparta in history has been wearing down the strength of its city-state in repression and uprising. They were finally defeated and annexed, and it was a matter of course.

So you have to say they are strong, maybe. But if you want to say that they are the most powerful army in the world, this is really not necessarily the case.

Macedonia under Alexander was the most powerful country in Greece, no doubt about it. This can be seen from his conquest of Sparta, a symbol of the force of the Greek world. And even if it is said that he conquered Greece and ruled Egypt and Persia, Alexander's military resources were never sufficient enough to sacrifice tens of thousands of people casually without even blinking his brows.

In his time, under the territory he ruled, population, especially adult brave males, was an extremely scarce resource. Productivity, medical treatment, these all limit the development of his men's strength. If his empire can be passed on and there are enough children, maybe there will be monarchs with hundreds of thousands or even millions of people in his descendants, but for him, a hundred thousand troops is almost He can grasp the limit.

To some extent, Alexander is also an arrogant person. Just holding tens of thousands of people in your hands, you dare to have the ambition to conquer the world. From today's point of view, this is really overreaching, because even in the same era, in the east where he has not yet set foot, there are already mutual conquests, and tens of thousands of people will be killed or injured in one war. The kingdom exists.

However, arrogance is not a derogation for him. Because that's what he was, born to dream the hottest dreams, to be as hot as a flame and think only of the burning guy.

In the past, he dared to conquer the entire world with a hundred thousand people in his hand, and it was true that he almost trampled half of the world's civilization under his feet. And now, there are tens of millions of people around him. It was a figure that all the population in his time and that era combined might not be able to match. This strong bottom force made the conquering king involuntarily grin his mouth wide open, as if drinking a full-bodied fine wine, he let out a bold laugh that shook his eardrums like a bull.

"This is really a gift from God to me. In the future after I have been asleep for a thousand years, there will be such a huge crowd of soldiers who will follow my orders from Iskandar. This is the god's hint to me that this world will Trampled underfoot."

"With such a large-scale military force, I really can't imagine any country in the world that can be my opponent. My soldiers, each spit, can gather into a lake; Build a mighty mountain; every man who throws his whip can stop the flow of the Nile. This battle of conquest has been doomed from the beginning. And such an easy victory really makes me feel unstoppable Regrets are born. I still want to gallop my horse and enjoy the feeling of being bathed in blood and winning glory. But now, I am afraid that our enemies will lose all their courage just by seeing us, like cowardice Like their women and children, they offer their fortresses and beg for our forgiveness!"

As far as an ancient king was concerned, it was quite normal for him to be able to say such words. After all, under the standard of cold weapon warfare where the number of people is the cornerstone of victory, tens of millions of soldiers who can fight without food and drink, without asking for a penny, are really enough to trample the whole world under their feet.

Unfortunately, this was not his time. It is bound to be a joke to look at today's world from the perspective of one's own era.

Among the dead who joined Alexander's side today, there are many people who were born in modern times and died only because of disasters. Although they admired Alexander, the ancient king, they would not blindly follow him to the point where they would believe whatever he said.

Among modern people, there may indeed be those idiots who have gone to school and received modern education, but naively think that ancient people are omnipotent, and whoever pops up at random is a superman or a god. But the vast majority of modern people can still rationally judge the gap between modern and ancient times, and give their own analysis objectively.

Just like now, some modern dead have already advised Alexander in this way.

"Your Majesty Alexander, the world today may be different from the world you live in. After all, more than two thousand years have passed, and the production capacity and reproductive capacity of human beings are no longer comparable to your era. Perhaps in your In that era, a population of one million was an unimaginable number, but in our era today, a population of one million is quite common. Even if it is said that there are several cities with a population of hundreds of millions. So, Your Majesty, now The strength of the..."

The implication is that your current strength is not enough, so you'd better take it easy.

Although the people who reminded Alexander had good intentions, they were actually thinking more about themselves. After all, he himself is now attached to the periphery of Alexander's forces, and he doesn't want this famous monarch to have a brain twitch, so he uses his group of people as cannon fodder to block the front line of the war.

This is not a good thing. After all, although he has not personally participated in modern warfare, he also knows that modern warfare is not comparable to before. Confronting the modern military with the means of the ancients is not conquest, but delivery.

When Alexander heard the man's speech, he immediately looked at him with light in his eyes. Not the faces of the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, nor the faces of the Persians or Indians he knew. That appearance looked more like the more oriental people he had heard.

This kind of oriental face was considered rare among this group of dead, but what Alexander cared more about was what he said before.

Alexander was born in Macedonia, and his teacher was the famous scholar Aristotle. Personally, he is also the kind of king who respects knowledge and culture very much. So when he heard the speech of the oriental man, he immediately questioned him with great interest.

"Listening to your speech, it seems very organized. Are you a scholar?"

"Me?" Pointing to himself, the Eastern Dead quickly shook his head and said. "I am a supermarket owner. I used to be a teacher for a while, but the world is not good, and something happened, so I quit. I just left the country and settled here. I just didn't expect to encounter such a mess. ...In the end, the world is impermanent, and people are not as good as heaven."

The rather old oriental dead man showed an expression of emotion in the world. But looking at his expression, Alexander was even more convinced that he was a scholar.

This is not surprising, after all, even in his era, those who had the time or ideas to feel the world were basically knowledgeable. Not to mention that he can still say such philosophical words.

"I haven't asked your surname, sir."

"My surname is Yu. People who know me usually call me Uncle Yu. My former students call me Teacher Yu. If you like me, just call me Old Yu."
