294 、 Inexorable Storm
With the help of the Potz navy, Fawkes tore up the contract and counterattacked the Kebados Alliance, achieving a series of victories. He achieved an unparalleled and brilliant achievement. — He was the symbol of victory and success. No matter how many battles there were in this world, it was all a vanity fair for him to build his achievements!
The Kebados Alliance retreated under Fawkes' counterattack. The nobles did not want to lose the hegemony that they had gained. They were also inspired by Fawkes' various means, so they sent people to negotiate with the Potz Empire. As long as the Potz Empire gave up supporting the Yaron Alliance and supported the Kebados Alliance, they promised to give the Potz Empire more benefits.
At this point, the two hostile groups were simply competing to see who was stronger!
The Potz forces, who had been expelled from the Heaton Peninsula by the Heaton people, were now invited back by the Heaton people themselves. Moreover, the Potz Empire also had good cards to play. Therefore, the Potz Empire made more requests to the Yaron Alliance. They even wanted them to admit that they had ceded many city-states on the Heaton Peninsula to the Potz Empire. Otherwise, they would support the Kebados Alliance.
At this time, the Yaron people were finally angry and were ready to use the citizens' assembly to exile Fawkes. Fawkes fled when he heard the news, but this politician had no ambition and did not stop there. He went directly to the Potz Empire to discuss the conditions. Fawkes told the Potz people that he had a way to lead the Potz army back to the Heaton Peninsula. As long as he was appointed as the king of all Heaton, he could achieve the wish that Darius had failed to achieve.
If the Potz people really listened to his bewitchment, the situation might have been different. However, the Potz people killed Fawkes, and the life of this ambitious person ended there. The development of the situation had made the Potz people no longer need a king of Heaton. The Yaron Alliance and the Kebados Alliance had been greatly weakened and were asking for help from the Potz. The Potz could control all of Heaton.
It was under this background that Zeus came to the vineyard to find Amon. The father of the gods of Olympus was angry. He wanted to punish Amon and truly unify Heaton before completely defeating the Potz. But what would Amon do?
…
After Zeus left, Amon still stayed in Aesop's farm to do the work of a farmer, as if nothing had changed. Hermes was extremely anxious. He stared at the vineyard every day and thought to himself, "When will this god leave?"
When the grapes were made into wine and the wine was stored in the cellar, Amon brought Medanzo to bid farewell to Aesop. He said to Aesop, "Old friend, I have to go. You have returned to your homeland and are very happy here. Call to me and I will hear your voice. Your God is still with you and waiting for you in heaven. "
Aesop enjoyed his remaining years in the city of Miduli with his cousin and three nephews. He even made some wise friends. It was the life in his homeland that this old man was looking for, and his days were very comfortable. Amon also knew that Aesop's life was coming to an end. The next time they met, it would be in heaven.
Medanzo left with Amon and headed north out of the city of Miduli. On the way, he asked curiously, "Aren't we going to the Garden of Eden or the Kingdom of Heaven? I heard that Link has just passed the test and has become an angel in the Kingdom of Heaven. He even talked to me in the Kingdom of Heaven two days ago — showing off that he is ahead of me. "
Amon replied, "Medanzo, you are on the road. Achievements are not for show, but for your own verification. You are still the leader of my disciples and the leader of the angels in the future. The reason why I brought you with me is that you need experience. Do you still remember the story of the vineyard? I pay the workers who enter the vineyard in the morning the same wages as those who enter the vineyard in the afternoon. For the Kingdom of Heaven, those who come later and those who arrive first get the same amount. "
Medanzo suddenly realized and said, "Oh, so you did that for me to see!"
Amon smiled and said, "I did it for everyone to see, of course, including you. People can get the inspiration they need from it."
Medanzo blinked and said, "My god, where are we going now, and what are we going to do?"
Amon replied, "From now on until we leave the Heaton Peninsula, you have to call me Amon in any public occasion. We are going to escort someone, an elder I have respected since I was a child, named Aristotle. "
…
Why did Aristotle come to Miduli? He was just passing by. As the envoy of the Kingdom of Macedonia, Aristotle had just gone to Yaron not long ago and represented the Kingdom of Macedonia to conclude an alliance with Yaron.
On the surface, the content of the alliance seemed to be an alliance between the Kingdom of Macedonia and the city of Yaron to jointly resist Potz. But in fact, this was a covenant in which Yaron surrendered to Macedonia. The so-called alliance was dominated by Macedonia, and the Kingdom of Macedonia had the right to issue the oracle. In the past, Yaron had signed agreements with other states as the leader of the alliance, but this time, it had become a subservient party.
For Macedonia to be able to achieve such diplomatic results, Aristotle, the plenipotentiary envoy sent by King Philip II, could not go unnoticed. Aristotle was originally a nobleman from the city of Yaron, and his teacher was the famous sage Plato. Later, he was hired by the King of Macedonia, Philip II, to be a court teacher in the palace. This time, he was sent to the city of Yaron to discuss the matters of the alliance.
When Aristotle returned to Yaron, he not only communicated with the nobles in the city, but also preached to the people in the square and in the shrine. He denounced what Fawkes had done and told the people that the current Heaton city-states were facing a great crisis.
The people of Heaton had once united to repel the army of Potz, but they did not know how to properly enjoy the fruits of victory. Yaron and Gebados fought for hegemony. Under the incitement of the ambitious Fawkes, both sides had successively colluded with the forces of Potz in an attempt to strengthen their own power, and did not hesitate to betray the interests of the entire Union Kingdom of Heaton.
The enemies who had been defeated were invited back by the people of their own accord. The goal that Darius' iron hooves could not achieve was achieved by the people of Heaton themselves!
Aristotle summoned all the city-states of Heaton to unite, and not to betray the interests of everyone for the ambition of one city-state. Only in this way could real strength and prosperity be achieved. The unity began with the alliance between Macedonia and Yaron. The Kingdom of Macedonia wanted to retaliate against the invasion of the Potz, and also punish those traitors who colluded with foreign enemies.
What Aristotle said was the truth. It was the city of Yaron that first colluded with the Potz, and later, the city of Gebados also colluded with Potz. The city of Yaron was almost unable to breathe under the powerful offensive of Gebados. They also hoped to be able to get help from the increasingly powerful Kingdom of Macedonia in the north, expel the forces of the Potz, and defeat Gebados to restore their former prosperity and power.
However, the help did not come without a price. The purpose of Macedonia was to unite the city-states of Heaton to end the civil war and expel the forces of Potz, not to support Yaron to become the overlord again. The city of Yaron was bound to be controlled by Macedonia, so the people of Yaron were divided into two groups, respectively belonging to the groups that supported and opposed Macedonia, and they could not agree on the decisions of the city.
Aristotle's speech moved many people, and finally, the citizens of the city made a decision and signed the covenant. The people of Yaron hoped to temporarily defeat Gebados with the help of Macedonia, and first get out of the current predicament. They did not intend to abide by this covenant in the future. Although Fawkes was dead, his Toxic Stream was still there, and it affected many people in Yaron City.
Aristotle achieved great diplomatic success. He left Yaron with the contract and returned to Macedonia under the escort of the guards. On the way, he had to pass through the northern border of the city of Meduri. Amon had wanted to visit Aristotle for a long time, and they could meet on the road.
…
Amon and Medanzo went on the road, but they did not fly directly to find Aristotle's convoy. Instead, they waited on the road that they had to pass through in the northern border of Meduri. It was a mountainous terrain, and the winding road crossed a continuous mountain range, appearing and disappearing in the dense forest. They had to pass through several passes in the mountains.
Medanzo said: "The terrain here is very dangerous! It is not suitable for a large army to pass through, but it is most suitable for ambushes and assassinations. "
Amon nodded and said: "That's the terrain. Let's sneak through the dense forest and take a look."
Medanzo asked: "Do you want to check the situation around the road? Would someone assassinate the special envoy of the Kingdom of Macedonia here? Isn't he a little too daring? "
Amon replied, "There are many people in the world who are audacious to the extreme! Not to mention the special envoy of the small Kingdom of Macedonia, even great emperors like Cyrus or Sinach would be assassinated, wouldn't they? I still remember the scene of you charging at Sinach's guards alone. It was very impressive! "
Medanzo smiled a little embarrassedly: "I was just attracting attention, not the main force to assassinate Sinach." Then he sighed and said: "The assassination of Sinach was a success, and Princess Sissila has also left with Gilgamesh."
Amon glanced at him and said: "Is there a need for you to sigh?"
Medanzo changed the topic: "Aristotle is not a tyrant like Sinach, but a respected sage. Who would assassinate him for no reason?"
This time it was Amon who sighed: "It would be best if there is no ambush. I just want you to see if this road is safe. If there is really an assassination, it will be for nothing else but the contract that Aristotle is carrying. "
Medanzo asked in confusion: "But who would do that? The Boz or the Kibadans? It's meaningless! The alliance was decided by the city of Yalun and the Kingdom of Macedonia. Killing the envoy won't change the fact. Even if they wanted to use this method to stop the alliance, they should have done it before Aristotle arrived at Yalun City, not now. If they really did that, it would lead to the joint revenge of Yalun and Macedonia. They couldn't be any more foolish! "
Amon sighed again. "You're right. It's exactly because of this that it's unexpected."
At this moment, Medanzo exclaimed in his soul: "My god, there is an ambush in front of us, and there are a lot of assassins! So you have already discovered it. "
