"What? Someone got on the ship without permission!? Who is so bold?"
Jason, who was eating slowly, was shocked when he saw this scene.
He didn't know how he could read the coded language of Heracles, but he instantly realized what was happening and jumped up from his seat as quickly as possible and ran to the window to watch.
As expected, an uninvited guest appeared on the cleared deck.
It was a black and red horse with an incomparable stamina. It seemed as if it had just jumped from the shore onto the Argonaut, kicking the ground with its front hooves continuously to slow down the momentum.
On his back was a man with lush red hair and a red cloak trimmed with gold. He seemed to have endless confidence.
The rider reined in the heavy-footed horse and turned around like an eye behind his back to look at Jason, who had not yet understood the situation.
He grinned widely, showing his white teeth, and a hearty laugh broke out.
"Hahahaha! I heard that there is a big ship here that can cross Oceanus! I couldn't wait to come from Macedonia!"
"Looking carefully, the Argo is indeed a giant ship capable of conquering the sea and blessed by the gods!"
"I am probably not late yet, right? The legendary Captain Jason?"
King Alexander!Iskander!
Before the Argonauts set sail, there were already famous heroes arriving!
236. Discussion on sea route
After the war between the heroic spirits and the undead in the Middle East, Iskandar has been looking for a way to cross the End Sea.
He initially planned to cooperate with countries that have naval fleets, but it is very rare among the countries in the Middle East to have fully-organized navies.
Among them, the only ones that could be favored by Alexander the Great were Turkey, Israel and Egypt.
The first two will not be considered for the time being due to issues such as beliefs, customs, and history, but Egypt is a star on Iskandar's road to conquest. His guard officer even created a trust in Egypt that blended Egyptian culture with Greek culture. Lemi dynasty.
But before Iskandar could go to Egypt to contact the local officials, Poseidon, one of the Olympian gods, came over from the Atlantic Lost Belt to boast about it.
What followed was a four-sea blockade, and Oceanus directly turned into an endless sea, which was difficult for all modern human ships to cross.
Iskandar, who had nowhere to go to sea, traveled around the Middle East for a long time, but he failed to achieve any fruitful results.
In the end, he had to return to the Kingdom of Macedonia and stay there until the news of the Argonauts' departure came out.
"So... you're going to be my crew member?"
After listening to Iskandar's story, Jason asked with his eyes widened.
Although he lived in an era older than Alexander the Great, he had heard about the deeds of the conquering king from the common sense instilled in him by Alaya Consciousness.
Especially during the time when he escaped from the battlefield in the Middle East and returned to Greece, Jason often listened to the mercenaries describing the art of war in Iskandar.
"Hahaha! Become an Argonaut? It's really a good idea!"
At this time, they had arrived inside the Argonaut. After Jason confirmed that the Conqueror who boarded the ship was not hostile, he still received him as a distinguished guest.
Iskandar directly picked up the red wine bottle and took a big sip into his mouth, then laughed and said.
"But it's really not that good to be a captain or a crew member under you."
"The King of Conquerors is not a king who will succumb to others, although you are also a king, captain."
After denying Jason's guess, Iskandar raised the corners of his mouth.
"Roar……"
Opposite him, Hercules showed an unkind expression, and the steel-hard muscles on his body trembled. If Jason gave the order, he would definitely take action without hesitation.
"Be patient, Hercules."
Although there was some displeasure on his face, Jason didn't start the fight even if he disagreed.
He was thinking about Iskandar's purpose and calculating the gains and losses of boarding the ship. It would be best if heroic spirits from the same side of pan-human history could become companions.
But to be honest, with Hercules, the Argonaut is completely sufficient in terms of combat effectiveness, and bringing an extra heroic spirit is just the icing on the cake.
Although Iskandar has a great record, Hercules is enough.
With this in mind, Jason also spoke.
"Since you, Alexander the Great, have no intention of becoming my crew, please leave this ship."
"Many sailors on this ship were once your subordinates. As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If you stay on the Argo with the same status as me, there will be disagreements about the clear ownership of command authority."
"As a king, you should know this."
Having clearly rejected Iskandar, Jason had no regrets or any intention of retaining him.
As he said, many of the sailors on this ship were mercenaries who had retired from the battlefield in the Middle East. They had fought against the undead under the command of the conquering king.
Just like there can only be one general to lead an army, it is impossible for Jason and Iskandar to be on the Argonaut at the same time.
"Hahaha! Mingren doesn't tell secret words, he is indeed a good man!"
Facing Jason's statement, Iskandar looked at him appreciatively.
He didn't care that his old troops defected to the Argonauts. The former Kingdom of Macedonia used a mercenary system. It was natural for professional soldiers to fend for themselves when there was nothing to fight.
"I'm actually here just to say hello to you, Captain."
"The king has negotiated with the Greek officials, and they are willing to lend the navy to the king as a subordinate."
"And Captain Jason is the leader of this route, so I and you are equal partners!"
The agreement reached between Greek officials and Jason is indeed a cooperative relationship. The Greek government provides the supplies and ports needed to go to sea, and the condition is that the Greek navy follows the Argonauts and sails together.
There is no distinction between superiors and subordinates, they are just collaborators on the same path.
"That's it...as long as you don't cause trouble."
In this case, the Greek navy accompanying him would become Iskandar's subordinates.
But what does this have to do with Jason? He didn't care about the insignificant frigates and patrol ships in Greece.
"Hahaha! I am a layman at sea, so of course I will not cause any trouble to you, Captain Jason."
"However, I heard that you have a sea map sent by the goddess Hera."
"Although it is a bit presumptuous to say this, can you please let me take a look and confirm the route you have planned, captain?"
After promising Jason that he would not take action at sea casually, Iskandar changed his tune and asked about sea routes.
As a knowledgeable military strategist, it is impossible for him to embark on a journey without preparation. Determining the route and possible situations along the way before setting off is what a responsible general must do.
"Well, it's right there."
Nu Zui pointed at the wall of the captain's cabin. Jason had no intention of holding back.
Iskandar frowned. The map on the wall was actually the sea map sent by the goddess Hera?
Is it really good that such an important thing is displayed openly?
"If you could safely navigate the oceans of the Age of Gods just by looking at the charts, then anyone could be the captain of the Argonaut."
"It's just a chart. It can be used as a reference at most."
As if he saw Iskandar's concerns, Jason said proudly.
On the sea, whether it is confirming the direction, finding islands, or avoiding wind and waves, it is necessary to adapt to local conditions.
Although Hera's chart was accurate and detailed, in fact only Jason could pilot the Argonauts on the ocean of the Age of Gods to overcome all difficulties.
"Captain Jason, I heard you were once a king."
"Can you tell me about your royal principles and your philosophy of governing the country?"
While observing the chart, Iskandar asked Jason in a casual tone.
"The king's law? The king is the one who everyone must obey, just like the crew must obey the captain's words."
"As for the philosophy of governing the country...if I were allowed to rule a country, I would definitely create a country where everyone can feel at ease!"
"It's a given, isn't it?"
After giving Iskandar a strange look, Jason raised his head and said.
After experiencing a rather rough life, he regained the throne and was considered the king of Iolkos for a period of time.
Although it was a royal road that seemed quite lonely compared to the Argo adventure, and it ended dramatically when the wreckage of the Argo fell and killed him.
"A country that makes everyone feel at ease is really a great ideal."
Iskandar's eyes lit up and he praised.
Although this royal way is different from his way of conquest, there should be some merits in some concepts.
But just talking about it is a bit vague. It would be nice to see how Jason governs the country.
"Huh? Captain Jason, isn't there a [Princess Island] in the Aegean Sea?"
"This is one of the 48 islands closest to us. According to the purpose of unlocking the seal network of Poseidon along the way, this should be the first target to attack, right?"
"But why...did you choose to bypass it?"
On the map sent by the goddess Hera, 48 islands with different names are marked.
These are the sea-sealing network nodes established by Poseidon, the god of the sea. They are guarded by temples dedicated to the Olympus gods. At the same time, both Alaya Consciousness and Hidden Xia Xun sent heroic spirits to the island.
According to the prompts on the chart, each island has at least three heroic spirits related to the name of the island. Some of these heroic spirits must be defeated, some can cooperate, and some will actively provide help.
"Ahem...this is for some personal reasons."
After coughing twice, Jason avoided the question.
"And we have just set sail, so we should choose some islands that are easier to conquer."
"Look at this [Children's Island]. The island should be full of servants with children's attributes. It seems to be a very suitable target for training."
"It sounds very weak, but it really has to be done step by step from easy to difficult."
As he talked about the reasons for his planned route, Jason quietly wiped a drop of sweat from his forehead.
Princess Island sounds very much like the island where the Mine Girl stays.
According to what the goddess Hera said, most of the crew on the Argo had been summoned to the present world, so he was unable to get the helping hand extended by the crew from the Throne of Heroes.
If you think about it from this perspective, it is impossible for Medea not to be on an island.
