Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Hermes was the god of commerce, travelers, thieves, and herds in ancient Greek mythology. An emissary of the gods, one of the 12 Olympians. The son of Maia who was the daughter of Zeus and Atlas. He was also known as Mercury in Rome.

Hermes was born in a cave in Arcadia and was the first god of Arcadia. After the unification of Olympus, he became the messenger for Zeus. He was also regarded as the patron god of travelers, doctors, thieves and merchants, as well as the god of eloquence. Legend has it that he invented rulers, numbers and letters. He was clever and cunning, and was regarded as the creator of the art of deception, which he passed on to his son. He was also the inventor of the lyre, the patron god of Greek sporting events.

Later he was mixed up with the ancient Egyptian god of wisdom, Thoth, and was regarded as the patron of magic, with a wand that could make gods and men sleep, or wake them from their dreams.

Dionysus was the ancient Greek god of wine, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus. He was the god of wine in ancient Greek Thracian belief, and with the power to give pleasure and kindness; he promoted the civilization of ancient society and established the law, maintaining world peace.

In addition, he safeguarded the agriculture and drama culture of Greece. In the legend says he was the son of Zeus and Semele (another saying is Zeus and Persephone) . The ancient Greeks’ worship of Dionysus was one of the secret religious rituals, similar to the secret ritual of the Eulysses to Demeter and Persephone. In the Thracian ritual, he wore fox skin, which was said to symbolize rebirth. The Dionysus Carnival was the most secret religious ritual.

To Jerry’s surprise, he had summoned these two famous gods to this world.

“Not bad, not bad. With the addition of these two gods, my kingdom becomes very rich in terms of talented people.”

Jerry said happily.

Then, the voice of the Eternal Roster sounded again:

[ Congratulations, Master, for successfully summoning the legendary figure: Plato.]

[ Congratulations, Master, for summoning the legendary army Macedonian phalanx, the number of troops is 300,000! ]

The last two summons also made Jerry extremely satisfied.

Plato and Macedonian Phalanx troops!

Plato (427 BC-347 BC) was a great philosopher of Ancient Greece, and also one of the greatest philosophers and thinkers in the entire western civilization.

With this great philosopher and thinker, the kingdom’s people would have a great elevation in thinking.

And the 300,000 Macedonian Phalanx soldiers would make his army even more invincible!

People who like world history must know that the Macedonian phalanx once dominated the world, not only creating the great emperor Alexander, but also creating an unrivaled world-class empire, at that time. The Macedonian heavy armor troops swept across from Europe all the way to South Asia without meeting a rival. It was a miracle in military history.

The Macedonian army was very well organized, and there were almost no flaws in the formation. Furthermore, they were exceptionally fierce in battles. In terms of training, coordination, and other aspects, they had reached the world’s first-class level. They were the strongest army in the era of cold weapons. Alexander the Great also used this special force to establish his empire. For the armies of ordinary countries, when they met the Macedonian army, they would be defeated as soon as battles began. To the Macedonian soldiers, crushing others was a common occurrence. The victory was certain for them as they crushed their enemies. Even now, many European countries still felt fearful when they mentioned the Macedonian army phalanx. One could see how powerful it was back then.

The Macedonian phalanx was made up of regular soldiers, light cavalry, cavalry, and auxiliary soldiers. The military structure of the Macedonian phalanx was very similar to that of modern armies. Usually, 64 armored soldiers formed a platoon, 128 people formed a company, 256 people formed a battalion, 1,024 people formed a regiment, and 4,096 people formed a division (that is, the basic phalanx) . The basic phalanx was the same as a modern division. It was a self-contained multi-soldier combat unit. In addition to the heavy infantry, it also included (in full formation)2,048 light-armored shield bearers, 1,024 auxiliary soldiers, and a cavalry regiment of 1,024 horsemen, totaling 8,192 people. Each joint phalanx was made up of four basic phalanxes, equivalent to a modern field army of about 32,000 people. This was the formation of Alexander’s typical expeditionary force.

The heavy infantrymen in the phalanx held a round shield of about one meter in diameter in their left hand, and a long spear of about two meters in their right hand. Side by side, they formed a dense and orderly formation and advanced like a giant hedgehog. A normal phalanx usually consisted of eight soldiers in a single column, and then extended to the left and right sides according to the total number of people. If the total number of soldiers was 10,000, the front of the phalanx would be made up of more than 1,200 soldiers, and the length of the phalanx would be about one kilometer.

The shields in the hands of the soldiers in the phalanx would protect their left side while also protecting the right side of the bodies of their neighboring comrades. Once the soldiers in the front row fell, the soldiers in the second row would quickly fill up the gap. The essence of the entire phalanx tactic was that all the soldiers’ strengths were gathered together as they attacked together. Those who ran away and betrayed their comrades would be punished the most severely.

Now that Jerry had these 300,000 Macedonian phalanx troops, Jerry’s dynasty instantly had 300,000 elite soldiers!

With this force, Sky Dynasty would be safe. No one could or dared to go against the Sky Dynasty!

Jerry felt like a poor man who had suddenly won the lottery of tens of millions of dollars!

The Sky Dynasty, which had just been established, was extremely short of talent.

Unexpectedly, he got a pool of talents.

In terms of war, he had gods Athena, Hercules, Diomedes, Epeius, Circe, and so on.

In terms of state administration, he had gods such as Metis, Manto and Hermes.

In terms of food production, weddings, city construction, population, he had...
