After a long journey and exploration, the scout traveled around a large bend from the upper continent to the lower continent.

Macedonia and the Sakura Country are both located here.

Tuo Yi pondered how to expand his territory next: "Hmm, the city-states on the right are too dense, and the resources are all occupied. There are no suitable locations to accommodate new cities. It's best to be on this lower continent, where there is still a lot of undeveloped land. Moreover, it's not too far from my old city, so it can echo and support during wars. Oh, this piece of land is not bad, it's on the seaside, and the resources are very rich."

Now that he has decided to develop downwards, then the neighboring Macedonia and Sakura Country are the civilizations he will attack next.

The warriors and slingers who fought with the barbarians have been stationed in Xi'an. Tuo Yi spent some gold coins to upgrade them to swordsmen and archers to increase his combat power.

He now has an income of 24 gold coins per turn, which can be said to be very wealthy. After the upgrade, he still has 380 gold coins.

However, archers and swordsmen are land units. Letting them advance to the lower continent means following the route the scout took, going to the narrow passage connecting different continents, which would take dozens of turns. This would delay the battle.

"I remember that after researching Sailing, builders can go to sea to build? There should also be a technology that allows land units to cross the river, right?"

Tuo Yi opened the tech tree and took a look. Sure enough, the subsequent technology of Sailing, Shipbuilding, allows land units to enter shallow seas, while crossing deep seas requires researching the subsequent Cartography technology.

However, the two continents are only separated by a shallow sea, so Shipbuilding is enough.

The condition to trigger the Shipbuilding Eureka is to build two galleys. Tuo Yi looked at his current productivity and found that he could build one in just 4 turns: "This is good! Then build one and buy another."

After building the galley, let it automatically explore the map. The scout had only explored some inland areas before, and most of the coast was still shrouded in fog, and there were even several uncontacted civilizations.

Sun Tzu's Art of War says, know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

Then he let his swordsmen and archers start moving downwards. When they reached the shore where they could cross the river, the Shipbuilding technology would be almost researched.

The production capacity of the second city, Longxi, was too low, and it took more than a dozen turns to build a builder.

However, as the builder came out and built a mine on the iron ore resource, the subsequent production speed could be accelerated a lot.

Tuo Yi chose to build a granary, which can increase food and population growth.

In the diplomacy interface, Gandhi of the Divine Cow Country suddenly proposed a trade request, wanting to exchange silk and gold coins for iron ore and open borders.

"Open borders? Forget about that, and I don't need your silk. I have extra iron ore to trade, but what can you give me?"

Tuo Yi put up an iron ore, and his eyes lit up, pleasantly surprised, "Oh, 11 gold coins plus 6 gold coins per turn for 30 turns, you're giving me so much for one iron, deal, deal!"

Gandhi held his wooden staff, placed his hand on his chest, and bowed modestly to express his gratitude: "Thank you, friend."

"Oh, this computer is really stupid, trading so many gold coins for a resource I don't need?"

You know, resources are not permanently traded, but only effective for 30 turns.

Anyway, Tuo Yi felt that he had made a big profit in this transaction.

A plan suddenly came to his mind: "Hmm? Why not trade with any civilization before going to war with them later? Empty their treasury and then take them down."

The more he thought about it, the more reliable it became. He was really a little genius!

Tuo Yi suddenly felt a little dazed.

His scout was located near Macedonia. After confirming that the first target of attack was Macedonia, the scout had been staying in place to provide him with information.

At this time, he actually saw one, two, three... six archers, and four warriors gathering on the map.

"You have too many troops, right?"

Tuo Yi was a little dazed, feeling like he had chosen a tough one?

Looking at the civilization ranking, Macedonia's domination victory was ranked first, but its technology was ranked last.

It seems that all resources were used to build troops.

On the other side, several warriors also met the Macedonian soldiers.

"Who are they fighting with? Sakura Country?"

Tuo Yi took a look and couldn't help but laugh: "I'm dizzy! Why are they fighting with the city-state Muscat? Is there any benefit to this?"

But for him, it was good news, which could consume Macedonia's combat power for him.

Anyway, empty Macedonia's treasury first.

Tuo Yi opened the diplomacy interface, put a grape, an iron, and a horse up, and said with a smile: "What can you give me? 52 gold coins, 9 coins per turn for 30 turns, wow, brother, I didn't see that you were so rich!"

Alexander gave him a thumbs up, nodded with a hearty smile, looking like he had made a profit.

Tuo Yi used the obtained gold coins to buy a pikeman, and together with the swordsmen and archers, took a boat along the shallow sea towards Macedonia.

In order to increase the probability of successful combat, he also sent an envoy to the city-state Lisbon on the opposite bank and became its suzerain.

In different civilizations, the civilization with the most envoys, and at least three envoys, is the condition to become a suzerain.

A city-state can only have one suzerain. After becoming the suzerain of a city-state, the resources owned by the city-state will be automatically transferred to the suzerain, and the suzerain can build improvement facilities on the territory of the city-state.

In addition, the city-state will maintain diplomatic relations consistent with the suzerain. If the suzerain goes to war with another civilization, the city-state will also send its soldiers to help.

Although Tuo Yi himself did not have many soldiers, adding Lisbon's combat power should be enough to deal with Macedonia.

Macedonia and Muscat had been fighting for more than a dozen turns. Although Macedonia had more troops, Muscat had built walls and defended very firmly, while bravely fighting back with warriors. After a few turns, Macedonia seemed to be in a difficult battle.

Tuo Yi shook his head looking at it, unable to even defeat a city-state, it was really embarrassing!

Hehe, but this is a good time to annex Macedonia!

He now had an income of 50 gold coins per turn, and bought another chariot, which also crossed the sea by boat.

Now he and Macedonia were in a state of friendship, and he could not declare war and attack, so Tuo Yi first surrounded the Macedonian capital with soldiers, preparing to declare war when the favorability dropped, while admiring the battle between Macedonia and Muscat.

The troops on both sides were consumed in the fierce battle, and it can be said that both sides suffered.

In the world ranking, Macedonia's domination victory points also dropped from first to fifth, and its strength was greatly damaged.

In the diplomacy interface, Alexander appeared.

Holding a golden lion helmet, his face no longer had a friendly and hearty smile. His narrowed eyes were like a leopard hidden in the grass, sharp and dangerous: "Scouts tell me that your troops are gathering near our border. Be careful, my army is not to be trifled with."

[My army is just passing by]

[Ignore this request]

Tuo Yi couldn't wait to drop the relationship to start a war, and directly ignored this request: "That's right, I'm here to beat you!"
