How many Cabeirois...
...the gods of the secret ceremony at Samotrace Island, were there?
The number which had both the harmony of gods...
...and four elements of everything at the same time...
... which administered death and re-creation...
...related to the cycle of the moon...
...and which carried the order...
...of the heaven as a number of planets for a long time.
Yes, we have finally reached the number seven.
That woman is a witch.
The devil king who will destroy the world...
This is the famous King Mausolus' Tomb...
This is one of the seven wonders of the world...
...along with the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus...
...which was opened to us without a battle.
Seven wonders?
They're amazing structures built by architectural technology...
...beyond human wisdom.
Besides these two, the statue of Zeus in Olympia...
...the pyramid in Memphis, the labyrinth of Queen Semaris...
...and the last two are both in Babylon.
Is that it? The tremendous palace...
...and the hanging garden!
I wonder why it has to be seven.
The priest at Ephesus said the seven wonders are...
...keeping order in the world.
Then if I made the eighth one...
...are you saying the order of the world would be destroyed?
Report!
Yes! The Macedonian military came across Hellespont Canal...
...and fought against us at the Granicus River side.
Our Commander Mithridates was brave enough...
...to challenge Alexander to a duel...
...but he didn't have any luck, and died heroically.
Continue.
Yes. After that, the Macedonian military...
...conquered Sardis, Ephesus, Miletus...
...and Halicarnassus.
As of now...
...they are staying at Gordion.
Fast... What speed they have...
Woman, what's your name?
Coming. He's coming!
As always, Hephaestion's lyre is beautiful.
Yes.
He is a child of Musaeus, God of Beauty.
Killing enemies is also an art for him.
He's a terrifying man.
By the way, what do you think?
The Granicus River, Miletus, and Halicarnassus.
At each battle, they blended in with our soldiers and attacked him...
Assassins from the Pythagorean Cult.
Their target is only Alexander.
It's strange to move on with unknown numbers...
...of enemies among us.
But Alexander doesn't care at all.
Certainly, it isn't a good idea to talk about it now.
That may just make the soldiers panic.
In ordinary circumstances, it's Hephaestion...
...but on the battlefield, it's up to us to protect the king.
King! The soldiers are tired from the constant battle.
There are many injuries, too. I would like to give them a rest.
I agree. If we move now...
...the land we just conquered may not be properly supervised...
...and some soldiers may desert.
All right!
That's Gordion's knot.
What's that?
You see the string clinging to the yoke?
The string is tangled so deeply that it isn't easy to sort out.
According to the old folklore...
...the person who sorts it out...
...will be the king of the vast land of Asia.
If he sorts it out...
...he'll be the king of Asia...
Who are those people?
There is a doctor in this town who has a good reputation.
Every day, there is a long line to see him.
I hear that the doctor is from the Hippocrates group.
I don't know if it's true. But he sewed together...
...the mutilated arm of a soldier, who fully recovered...
King!
King of Asia...
I guess you can take off your bandage in a week.
Thank you very much.
Oh, King!
I haven't finished your treatment!
- But... - I'll be finished in a minute.
Okay, this is it.
I apologize for treating your soldiers without your permission.
How do you do?
I'm Philippos, a doctor from Lydia.
Philippos, why do you cure people?
The human body is a universe.
I'm looking into it every day.
Philippos.
I order you to join our military as the head of our doctors.
King!
Sorry, I cannot do it.
I cannot leave here.
Why not?
A prophecy from the gods.
I was told to serve only that man who could free Gordion's knot.
I've been waiting here to meet that person.
All right. Follow me.
King!
Please wait, King! King!
Look! The king will challenge Gordion's knot.
What?! King will?!
Oh, our king is going to Gordion's knot.
King!
King Alexander?
What a beautiful sound!
It sounds as if it were music from heaven.
That's Hephaestion.
Hey, Philotas!
What happened? You look pale.
It's nothing.
Message!
What's the matter?!
In the town of Issus where we passed two days ago...
...Persian military appeared suddenly.
What?!
About 500,000 soldiers!
500,000! Ten times more than ours.
King!
Philotas. Good luck has appeared.
Let's go.
Yes...
What are you doing? Let's retreat immediately.
An army of 500,000...
We have won.
Young men from Macedonia.
I praise your bravery to come all the way here.
I'll make you return what you took from Babylon.
What a massive army they have!
Even if we use all of the weapons Sir Aristotle has developed...
...how could we go against this military power?
Philotas.
The results of regular battles...
...are determined by weapons and the number of soldiers.
But this is a battle between two kings.
Yes!
Let's go!
Sir Ptolemy, it has started.
Incredible!
Right now!
Don't be afraid! Move forward!
What's that?!
King! You go too far!
King!
Please wait!
Pythagorean Cult!
No way!
What are they?
- We're going home. - Yes?
They don't belong to our military.
But this is a chance to win the battle!
No one should interfere with a battle between kings.
Hurry up!
King! You're safe!
King! Please wait!
King!
Stop him!
King!
Devil king!
A nightmare started after the ceremony.
King Philip!
Help! Help me!
Witch.
Alexander is the son of the witch, who will destroy the world.
Philotas!
Philotas, finally!
King!
Are you all right, Philotas?
You were close, Philotas.
You were saved by the king.
What?!
The king gave up chasing Darius and came back.
Until we caught up with him...
...the king was fighting alone to push away the enemy.
King... I...
Philotas, you did well.
Yes, sir!
