Morton spoke with fear and uneasiness, and slowly revealed a secret, which was a top-secret "file" that no one knew.
"According to records, in the summer of 327 BC, Alexander the Great was attracted by the rich Indus River Basin, left Bactria, and led an army of about 30,000 people along the Kauffen River (now the Kabul River) through the Khyber Pass to invade the upper reaches of the Indus River."
In April 326 BC, the Macedonian-Greek expeditionary force arrived at the Hydaspes River from the city of Bukfara in the northwest of the South Asian subcontinent and confronted the army of the Porus Kingdom across the river.
Alexander then led his army across the river to fight, destroying nearly 20,000 Porus infantry and 3,000 cavalry, forcing King Porus to surrender.
The expeditionary force continued eastward and arrived at the banks of the Hyphasis River.
At this time, epidemics broke out in the army and officers and soldiers became increasingly war-weary. Alexander was forced to decide to stop the Eastern Expedition and withdraw his troops in October 326 BC.
He divided his troops into two routes, one by land and one by sea, and sailed downstream along the Indus River. Near the mouth of the Indus River, he further divided his troops into three routes: one route by sea passed through the Arabian Sea into the Persian Gulf to the mouth of the Euphrates River; one route by land went west along the coast of the Indian Ocean, led by Alexander himself; another route went north to Arachosia, and then west to meet Alexander.
In the spring of 324 BC, Alexander returned to Babylon, and the Eastern Expedition ended…”
At this point, Morton's face became even more uneasy, even with a hint of fear: "But, there is nothing wrong with the first half of the record, but no one else knows that after they split into three groups, they once again gathered together!"
"No one knew that the Eastern Expeditionary Army had gathered together and headed northwest from India, all the way north..."
"No one knows that Alexander's Eastern Expedition Army includes many 'Paladins'!"
Morton sighed.
"Everyone knows that Alexander's army was extremely brave during the Eastern Expedition. Once the Macedonian phalanx came out, it was easy for one to defeat ten. But no one knows that the reason why they were so powerful was because of the great efforts of the Paladins."
"ah?"
Bob was a little stunned: "Did the Paladins already appear during that period? But why are there no relevant records?"
"Besides, what does this have to do with immortal cultivators?"
Morton's breath was choked, and he said in a speechless and angry tone, "Are you really the president of the Capitalist Profit Protection Union? You don't even know this?"
"Well, actually I'm a businessman." Bob spread his hands.
Face
Sorry, who is the face? He never cared about these things, he only cared about whether he could make enough small money to ensure the interests of these capitalists.
Morton's eyelids twitched: "..."
"Stupid!" he shouted.
"In 326 BC, the army withdrew due to 'plague'. Did you know that during that period, there was a rich and powerful land in northern India?"
"Do you know why the powerful Alexander the Great suddenly withdrew his troops because of difficulties?"
"you do not know!"
Morton sighed: "At that time, Alexander personally led an army of 50,000 and was unstoppable. Even if he encountered an army of 500,000, he could still defeat it!"
"And the Chinese nation at that time was in the Warring States Period. Later generations called them the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period?"
"Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qin... Each of them has hundreds of thousands of troops, and they are all experienced and well-trained."
"But if that were the case, Alexander the Great, with the assistance of the Paladin Legion, could still win the battle and even take over the vast and fertile territory."
"However, the emperor has always been cautious, so he did not attack the city rashly, but led his subordinates to travel all the way to find out the truth..."
"As a result, it was during the Qin Dynasty..."
"Forget it. Even if I tell you this, you certainly won't understand. But you just need to know that the Qin State at that time was at its most powerful. Although it had not yet unified the world, the Qin people were a powerful army that had fought a hundred battles. When the wind blew, arrows rained down!"
Having said this, Morton's expression became even more panicked and frightened.
Although these were told to him by his father and not seen with his own eyes, there are some things that one does not need to see with one's own eyes to imagine how powerful and terrifying they are.
For example, the immortal cultivator he had just seen blasted a meteorite with one punch.
With fear in his eyes, as Bob, William and others looked puzzled, Morton continued to explain: "Once the battle started, the emperor's ordinary soldiers suffered heavy casualties. He had no choice but to immediately send the Paladin Corps to fight. At the beginning, they did break through the rain of arrows..."
“But just when Alexander the Great was extremely excited and ready to charge in person, he saw an extremely terrifying scene!”
"A man walked out of the formation, holding a halberd, and wiped out all the paladins in a moment! Only one group of personal guards escaped because they were guarding the emperor!"
"You must know that the Paladins at that time were many times more powerful than the Paladins of the later Never-Setting Sun. But even so, in the hands of that man, they were just like bugs and could be killed at will!"
"Later, we found out that the man... was called Bai Qi!"
"Afterwards, the emperor was terrified and fled with his men in a hurry. However, except for a few people in that team of paladins who managed to escape with the emperor, the rest of them all stayed in the Qin State..."
"Plague? Haha, there is indeed a plague, but that's because a 'Taoist priest' appeared and waved his hand. Except for the Paladin, everyone else didn't even have the strength to escape. Even the Paladin was weakened and affected by an unknown thing, and his combat power was greatly reduced..."
"That man didn't even give chase!!!"
"The emperor fled back in panic, but he could not face the defeat, so he ordered people not to write down this history, let alone spread it, and at the same time publicized that the reason for the withdrawal was the plague."
"But the fact is..."
"Later, the emperor was always concerned about his elite troops, so he sent people to secretly investigate."
"Many people went there and finally got some news back, but this news made the emperor seriously ill."
At this point, Morton was just Bob, and the fear and anger in his eyes were heart-piercing: "There were blond and blue-eyed barbarians coming from the southwest. They didn't understand human language and didn't listen to education, so they were pitted."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
"The elite troops under the emperor, who helped him sweep across the countries and fight ten enemies at once, are nothing more than an insignificant sentence in the Qin State. They are not even bothered to be written into the history books! Because they are too weak!"
"Later, after much inquiry, my ancestors learned that in that mysterious eastern country, there was a group of immortal cultivators. They were extremely powerful and could move mountains and fill the sea."
"It was after a period of time that the immortal cultivators stopped appearing, and the Paladins were able to gain great fame at that time..."
"Now, do you understand?"
Morton said no more, but the meaning of his words was obvious.
Even our Paladin ancestors, who were many times more powerful than we are now, were instantly wiped out when they encountered immortal cultivators, and were unable to hurt the opponent at all!
Now you want me to fight against immortal cultivators
You're asking me to die!
Do you think I'll go
Bob: “…”
William: “…”
They were terrified...
As members of the capitalist profit protection union, what they care about most is how to make money. Naturally, they don't know much about history.
But they had heard of Alexander's Eastern Expedition, but most of them didn't know much about it.
But as far as I can remember, there was absolutely no mention of paladins or immortal cultivators.
But judging from what Morton said, damn, it turns out that the historical records were a concealed truth. The fact is, they actually fought all the way to China, and then were wiped out with just a wave of the hand
Those elite Macedonian phalanxes, which were talked about by later generations, were only rewarded with a few irrelevant words that no one even paid attention to
There were blond-haired and blue-eyed barbarians coming from the southwest. They could not speak human language and refused to be educated, so they were killed.
No more!
This is so...
It seems a bit scary!
Bob still couldn't believe it, so he tried to persuade him, "Mr. Morton, maybe the legend is wrong? Even if it's true, you are the descendant of a Paladin, but that immortal cultivator must be the descendant of an immortal cultivator, and he must not be as powerful as the original immortal cultivator."
"There is absolutely no such possibility!"
Morton laughed angrily: "This is the ancestral precept passed down from generation to generation by our Paladins. There is even a little-known rule in our Paladin's Iron Law!"
"That is: if you encounter an immortal cultivator, no matter what the mission is or what the reason is, you must give up immediately and run away as soon as possible! At the same time, you will not be punished for doing so."
"Do you still think this is a rumor?!"
"Besides, can't you see that video?!"
"He blew up such a terrifying meteorite with just one punch. You want me to fight him? What can I do to fight him?!"
Morton really wanted to curse.
It's just like a lunatic. That person is also the descendant of an immortal cultivator. How can he not be as strong as the original ancestor
I don't know if he is as strong as the immortal cultivators thousands of years ago, but I know that if he punches me, not even a trace of me will be left. Isn't that enough?!
Bob finally understood.
"Let's go!"
Morton directly and forcefully sent the guest away: "Don't come to me again, I will immediately go into seclusion. The strength of the immortal cultivators is not something I, nor you, can contend with!"
…
Bob and his group were driven away.
Even when they boarded the departing helicopter, they were still confused and felt desperate.
"Immortal cultivators...are they too scary?"
They were terrified.
The famous Paladin Corps was so frightened that they even left a ancestral instruction that if they encountered an immortal cultivator, they should turn around and run away, and they would not be punished for it, no matter how such behavior led to the failure of any mission!
"Fuck, what should we do now?!"
Bob couldn't help but cursed: "The Paladins don't dare to fight, there are more and more immortal cultivators in China, and they want to revive their spiritual energy. What should we do?!"
Everyone was silent.
No one could answer his question.
