I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 116
The fighting lasted until the evening of the same day. After losing the favorable defensive factor of the city wall, the Brits were quickly routed by the Macedonians who had a numerical superiority, and lost their capital.

After the city was broken, Antigonus fulfilled his promise and ordered the soldiers to plunder the city for three days.

After getting permission, the soldiers cheered and dispersed, rushed into the homes of the local residents, and robbed all the valuables from their homes. Even the pretty barbarians were raped, and those who dared to resist were raped. Stabbed to death by a sword.In addition to the residences, the soldiers also rushed into the looted barbarian temple, rummaged inside, and searched for the last valuable things. They also tied the stone statues of the barbarian gods enshrined in the temple with ropes, and forcibly dragged them out of the temple. Amid the loud shouts of soldiers outside, the hammer was used to smash the stone statue, indicating that civilization once again defeated barbarism——

Do they really represent civilization?

Looking at the unscrupulous soldiers in the city, Antigonus did not dare to agree as confidently as usual. Although these soldiers believed themselves to be civilized, their behavior after the city was broken was as cruel as those so-called barbarians.

Naturally, Antigonus would not stop the soldiers from venting after the war. If he broke his word, it might trigger a mutiny. All he could do was to lead the Macedonian army to defeat one enemy after another, ensuring that Your own home will not be treated the same.

……

The tragic experience of the Britt people lasted until three days before it finally ended. The three days of indulgence brought the soldiers' morale to its peak, and their pockets also bulged up, although some of the things they looted in the past three days were to be turned over to the king, but the remainder of the spoils pleased them greatly.Touching their round pockets, the soldiers asked which barbarian tribe they were going to attack next.

Which barbarian tribe to attack?Antigonus did not think of this problem, because after the Brits were conquered, the barbarian tribes in this area sent envoys to express their surrender to him. Looking around, except for the uncontacted barbarians in the north and west, The Kingdom of Macedonia has no enemies.

It's October 10st, and we're still a little over a month away from winter.

……

Great Rum... No, it should be called Great Polis. The original name of the city was changed from Rum to Polis by Antigonus according to the Greek custom. A nobleman named Amyntas was elected as the new consul of the city. As mentioned before, every member of the partner cavalry is a nobleman with outstanding ability, and they also have the ability to govern the place , so Antigonus chose from his own guard when there was no suitable civil servant to appoint.

After appointing Amyntas as the new consul, Antigonus did not forget Bradley, the biggest hero who conquered the city. He announced on the spot that he appointed Bradley as the great chief of all the Brits, and granted him the Macedonian Citizenship and the position of the mayor of Greatpolis, his position as a mayor is very watery. To put it bluntly, he is to assist Amyntas in managing the Brits, and is a bridge of communication between the Macedonians and the Brits.

Afterwards, Antigonus left Bradley a batch of ordnance and led his army to leave Gretepolis and march north.

His goal is very clear, to reach the river at the junction of the northernmost part of the Ogrell Peninsula and the Kingdom of Cattelan before the winter comes, to conquer all the northern barbarians, and completely solve the threat from the north.Of course, in addition to the northern barbarians, there is also the threat of the western barbarians, but Antigonus does not yet have the strength to deal with two at once, and the western enemies can only be left in the spring of next year.

Without any warning, when the Macedonian army appeared in the sight of the northern barbarian tribes, the chiefs and kings fell into panic and hurriedly sent envoys to Antigonus to request surrender.Before that, they had heard from their neighbors in the south that a civilized country calling itself the Kingdom of Macedonia had been established on the peninsula. However, it had been passively defensive under the attacks of the barbarians, but now it suddenly rose up and became so powerful that it frightened them.

While sending envoys to express their submission, these chieftains and kings couldn't help but rejoice that they had never had any hostility or conflict with the Macedonians before, otherwise, like the Britt who thought he was the head of the barbarians on the Ograre Peninsula, they would directly Conquered by the Macedonians, even the capital was looted.

Facing these tribes that sent envoys, Antigonus was very generous. He told these envoys that as long as they could submit to the Macedonian Kingdom, make offerings regularly, and refrain from hostile things, the Macedonian army would not attack them, but would instead Be their umbrella.

Antigonus was so wise that the envoys were naturally willing to deal with him. So during the period when the Macedonian army moved north, the barbarian tribes along the way surrendered one after another and became nominal vassals of the Macedonian Kingdom, which naturally included the people who moved here. The Coritas, when they saw that Antigonus and his "evil army" were pursuing them here, they had no intention of resisting and obeyed the general trend to express their surrender to the Macedonians.

Seeing that the Korita people finally surrendered, Antigonus was generous and did not hold them accountable for their past crimes and allowed them to return to their hometown of Lamia - but Antigonus solemnly told them that Lamia had already It belongs to the Kingdom of Macedonia. If they want to live in Lamia, they must accept the management of the Macedonian consuls, and they must never do barbarian things again.

The Corita envoy thanked him on the spot and expressed his willingness to accept the management of the kingdom.

The Korita people have been bullied and rejected by the surrounding indigenous tribes every day since they migrated here. They can be said to miss their hometown day and night. Now that Antigonus generously gave them the opportunity to go home, how could they go home? Maybe miss it?
In such a harmonious environment, Antigonus has been leading the army to march to the Barla River at the northernmost tip of the Ogrell Peninsula. Looking at this fast-flowing river and the looming outline of the fortress on the other side, he has an idea. The urge to cross the Barla River and personally contact the civilized countries of this world, but he finally restrained this urge, because he knew that if he crossed the river rashly, he might be mistaken by the other party for a newly emerged barbarian .

Seeing that Antigonus had been looking at the other side, Cronus couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, should we send an envoy to cross the river to negotiate with the Catalan Kingdom on the opposite side and tell them that this place is now ours?" The territory of the Kingdom of Macedonia?"

"No, there is no need to do this, Cronus." Antigonus shook his head, pointing to the beach on the river bank, and said: "Let the soldiers move, build a stone tablet here, and write Greek words on it. Write it down with the characters of this world and tell the world that the Ogre Peninsula is already the sacred territory of my Kingdom of Macedonia.”

"And I am the first Macedonian to lead an army here."
