The declaration of friendship also expires after 30 turns.

Tuoyi and the Divine Cow Nation were the first to declare friendship, followed by the Sakura Nation, the Golden Yuan Nation, and Macedonia within the next one or two turns. Now, all of these have expired.

He continues to declare friendship with the Divine Cow Nation and the Golden Yuan Nation. Macedonia and the Sakura Nation are his next targets for attack, so naturally, he won't renew the friendship.

Open Macedonia's diplomacy interface.

Denounce: Formally express your dissatisfaction with the country. A formal declaration of war is possible after 5 additional turns (with or without a casus belli).

Declare Surprise War: Suitable for immediate war, increases normal warmongering by 50%.

In Civilization VI, surprise wars can be launched without reason in the Ancient Era, and war can be declared after 5 turns of denouncement in the Classical Era. After the Medieval Era, unless a war of conquest is declared to the world, war cannot be declared against a civilization without a casus belli.

This is still very much in line with historical trends. In barbaric times, war could be waged at will, whenever one wanted.

With a higher degree of civilization, a reason needs to be found before launching a war. Regardless of whether the reason is convincing, it must at least be stated openly to other civilizations that there is a reason for attacking them; otherwise, launching a conquest at will will provoke worldwide resistance.

Tuoyi hesitated a bit. Should he denounce first and then declare war, or launch a surprise war directly?

Mainly, he wasn't sure what impact warmongering would have.

In Civilization VI, the impact of warmongering is mainly in two aspects. On the one hand, it will increase war weariness domestically, thereby reducing amenities. The rate of increase in war weariness depends on the difficulty you are playing on. The higher the difficulty, the faster it increases. When it accumulates to a certain amount, there will be a people's uprising.

On the other hand, it will cause resentment from other countries, diplomatic relations will decline, and trade will not be as fair as before. Perhaps one resource could originally be exchanged for 100 gold, but now it can only be exchanged for 80 gold.

"Whatever, I already have troops on the border, just attack!"

Tuoyi didn't hesitate for a few seconds before making his choice: "Macedonia, I declare war on you!"

"Warmongering: Slight.

This action will trigger a war with Macedonia!"

Declare war!

Clicking the button is accompanied by a "铮" sound, like a sharp blade being unsheathed.

The diplomacy interface played a short animation.

Alexander put on the golden lion helmet he usually held at his waist, raised his bronze wavy sword in front of his eyes, carefully examined it, and stroked both sides of his cheeks and chin, as if using the smooth blade to reflect and check if the beard on his face was shaved clean.

A simple action, but it exudes a dangerous and powerful aura.

Alexander then gently stroked the back of the blade with his finger, squinted his eyes, revealing a look of contempt and disdain: "I have never been interested in peace."

[Goodbye]

After watching the animation, Tuoyi was also a little excited about the upcoming war. This was the first time he had actively declared war on someone.

"Right," he suddenly thought of a problem, scratching his head, "If I go to war with Macedonia, what happens to the previous trades? Will they still give me gold every turn?"

But this wasn't the end of it.

Gandhi from the Divine Cow Nation also appeared.

Under his round-framed gold glasses, his eyes looked very unhappy. Leaning on his wooden staff, he pointed his finger at the player: "If you are bloodthirsty, perhaps your rule should be ended."

Tuoyi thoughtfully said: "So, war will cause dissatisfaction among other civilizations... at least among leaders like Gandhi who love peace."

Anyway, you can't stop me, denounce if you want, I'll just clean you up later.

His soldiers were already surrounding Macedonia's capital, Pella.

The archers stepped forward in unison, fully drawing their bows, and with a release of their hands, several arrows drew white arcs, "咻咻咻" shooting into the city.

After being attacked, the city model disappeared, and you could see that inside there was a team of soldiers wearing armor, crouching halfway, holding their silver half-shields in the air, blocking the wave of arrows.

Immediately afterward, the Chinese swordsmen rushed from the farmland outside the city into the city and began to slash at the defending troops with their long swords.

This attack seemed to be very effective, and one of the defending soldiers fell directly.

"Your swordsman attacked the enemy's city center, dealing 67 damage!"

Pella's city health was only half left, and Tuoyi's riflemen were about to cross the river and reach the city. It seemed that in one, or at most two turns, the city could be captured.

And the warriors of Lisbon also began to move towards the capital, Pella, after Tuoyi declared war—in fact, he was not only the suzerain of the city-state of Lisbon, but soldiers from four city-states were preparing to come over, but the other city-states were too far away and definitely wouldn't make it in time.

Macedonian soldiers, along with the warriors of Muscat and the archers of Lisbon, exchanged fire. Already deeply mired in war, they were now even more unable to defend and support their capital.

"Tsk, it's such a fierce fight!"

Tuoyi glanced at the battlefield on the other side, while happily letting the swordsmen and archers continue to attack the Macedonian capital.

Speaking of which, Macedonia's starting position was not very good, with half of it surrounded by rainforests and two or three pieces of desert, with few resources.

"Ding!" "Clang!"

The blades collided fiercely, sparking.

"Ugh!"

Flames rose on the city walls of Pella, billowing black smoke, and all the defending soldiers in the city fell in the last wave of attacks. Tuoyi's swordsmen entered the city and stationed themselves.

The diplomacy interface appeared, Alexander scrutinized the sharp curved knife in his hand, his eyes lost.

He slowly sheathed the curved knife back into the scabbard at his waist, somewhat unwillingly said: "My Long March began in haste, and ended in haste."

Raising his head and gazing into the distance, his face was filled with loneliness, as if thinking about how he had failed to lead civilization to prosperity and establish a powerful empire, and had so helplessly withdrawn from the stage of history.

Tuoyi couldn't help but sigh: "The mighty Yangtze River flows eastward, washing away all the heroes!"

Pella's color turned green, and it was occupied by him.

For Pella, there were two options: "Keep City" and "Raze to the Ground", but because this was a civilization's capital, you could only choose to keep the city, the option to raze to the ground was unavailable.

Keep City: The warmongering gained after capturing the last city of a player is determined by the warmongering of surprise wars in that era.

There were desert tiles on Pella's land. Tuoyi thought for a while and decided to build a pyramid, which would take 35 turns to complete.

He bought a builder with gold and prepared to knock on the pyramid a few times to increase productivity.

He traded luxury goods for gold with the Divine Cow Nation and the Sakura Nation.

"Hmm... after taking Macedonia, the next one will be the Sakura Nation, right?"

Tuoyi turned his gaze to the east of this continent, feeling a bit excited.

He had the feeling of transforming into an ancient emperor, fighting everywhere and expanding the territory of his empire.
