The people of the Macedonian Empire were not as cautious as those of the Turios Empire, and they were relatively far from the Roman Empire.
Therefore, they were not particularly aware of the situation in the Roman Empire and had no excessive defenses.
Their main army's defense was solely against the Turios Empire.
However, the Turios Empire's army had never appeared on their borders, so the Macedonian Empire's border defenses were very lax.
This led to the Macedonian people only realizing the situation after Lin Tian's army attacked.
"Not good, the enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking!!"
"Quick! Defend the border, hurry and defend our border!!"
"Report this! Quickly report this matter and send troops to reinforce us!!"
As Lin Tian's army approached, their first reaction was to report the matter and have their army come to their aid.
However, there was one thing they hadn't anticipated: they wouldn't live to see their reinforcements arrive.
Upon reaching this location, Lin Tian's army began their assault on the city without any hesitation.
A massive army surged towards the cities of the Macedonian Empire.
The sheer size of the army filled the Macedonian soldiers with despair.
On this border, there were fewer than twenty thousand troops, and their combat effectiveness was inferior to that of Roman soldiers. How could they possibly resist Lin Tian's army?
Essentially, as soon as Lin Tian's army charged, the city gates were breached.
Subsequently, Lin Tian led his army directly into the city, engaging in a brutal massacre.
Lin Tian showed no mercy to these people of the Macedonian Empire.
He spared none of the damned.
Not only him, but Wang Wu and the others were the same.
When they truly began their slaughter, the people of the Macedonian Empire were utterly unable to resist.
In less than half an hour, the cities of the Macedonian Empire were captured by Lin Tian and his men.
Afterward, Lin Tian and his men, without any delay, moved towards the next city of the Macedonian Empire.
Since the Macedonian people's combat effectiveness was poor, he didn't mind conquering the Macedonian Empire quickly.
As they advanced towards the second city of the Macedonian Empire, the people of the Turios Empire were astonished.
"Hiss! What's going on? Are their combat capabilities that strong? They captured a Macedonian city so easily??"
"Indeed, they are strong, but their numbers are also considerable. An army of 150,000 attacking a city with only 20,000 defenders would naturally make it an easy victory!!"
"That's true. If our Turios Empire were to attack the Macedonian Empire under such circumstances, we would also be able to capture their city!!"
Lin Tian's army's easy capture of a city and their swift expansion of territory truly made the people of the Turios Empire envious.
If possible, they wished they were the ones who had captured this Macedonian city.
After all, their country had been in conflict with the Macedonian Empire for a long time, and their country had always been at a disadvantage, never gaining any advantage.
Now, with someone attacking the Macedonian Empire and gaining such easy benefits, it made many of them feel resentful.
In fact, it wasn't just them who felt resentful; even their Emperor was deeply unhappy.
"Why, why did they succeed so easily, why did they capture a Macedonian city so easily?"
"And our army, even after a long siege, might not be able to capture a single Macedonian city!!"
"Unfair, this is unfair!"
Although the Emperor of the Turios Empire was very cautious, he was also a very ambitious man.
He had long coveted the Macedonian Empire.
He also hoped that his Turios Empire could become as powerful as the Roman Empire, or even surpass it.
If possible, he even wished to annex the Roman Empire, making his Turios Empire the most powerful empire.
However, despite his ambition, he lacked the strength to achieve it.
Every time they clashed with the Macedonian Empire, it resulted in a grueling war of attrition.
While they sometimes gained an advantage, more often than not, it was a back-and-forth struggle.
Capturing a city became incredibly difficult.
Because of this, he was intensely jealous, even to the point of madness, of how easily Lin Tian and his men had captured a city.
However, he quickly regained his composure.
"No, I can't be too impulsive. What if this is their trap?"
"What if they have set up an ambush here, and then our Turios Empire would fall into their trap!"
"Therefore, we need to be cautious about this matter, otherwise, we could suffer a great loss!!"
"And they must have joined forces, they want to join forces to deal with our Turios Empire!!"
Upon realizing that Lin Tian and his men might have allied against their Turios Empire, the Emperor of the Turios Empire immediately calmed down.
He felt that he had been too impulsive before, and such impulsive behavior was very detrimental to their Turios Empire.
As he calmed down, he became even more composed.
"Have our people continue to gather intelligence. Let's see what the armies of the Macedonian Empire and Great Qin intend to do!!"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, the troop movements of the Turios Empire became more frequent. They infiltrated large numbers of soldiers into the Macedonian Empire, hoping to gather information.
Meanwhile, the Macedonian Empire was in great disarray.
They had never expected an army to suddenly attack their empire and assault their cities.
And it was an army they had never seen before.
This left the people of the Macedonian Empire flustered for a time.
However, they quickly reacted. Although this large army had appeared very suddenly, their empire had its own forces.
Their army could completely repel the enemy's attack.
With this thought, they immediately mobilized their army.
Knowing that Lin Tian's army consisted of over a hundred thousand soldiers, they did not hesitate to mobilize two hundred thousand troops.
These troops appeared before Lin Tian and his men after Lin Tian had captured three Macedonian cities.
Their appearance made the people of the Macedonian Empire tremble with relief. Many felt a sense of ease.
They believed their rescuers had arrived.
The soldiers of the Turios Empire, on the other hand, became exceptionally tense.
They wanted to know if Lin Tian's army would engage the Macedonian army.
