I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 120 Dangerous
Just in case, Cenares sent a messenger back to Pella City to report the situation here to Antigonus. If the barbarian tribes outside the city were really planning to launch a rebellion, then they also had some hope.

Then, Cenarius and Amyntas returned to the chief's hall, which was transformed into the consul's residence. Not long after the two took their seats, the consul found a document from the table and handed it to Cenarius.

What is written in the document is the abnormality of the barbarian tribes outside the city these days. The druids of several tribes took the opportunity of praying to the gods to instill the idea of ​​resistance to the tribal people who came to the assembly. They claimed that the aid of the Macedonians The delay in coming is all because the Macedonians are unwilling to waste precious supplies on their barbarian tribes, so in order to survive this winter, they must join forces to attack Greatpolis,

"..."

Cenaris was silent for a while, he slowly put down the document, looked at Amyntas, and said, "Since your people have already found out, why don't you just send someone to arrest those druids?"

"Can't be caught." Knowing that Cenares would ask this question, Amyntas explained with a wry smile: "Druids are the spiritual leaders of the barbarians, if you attack them rashly, it may cause turmoil among the barbarians .”

"And you also know that there is only a militia city defense force composed of Britts in Gretepolis. If there is a rebellion, will the Britts help us?"

"I was negligent," Cenarius said.

Indeed, apart from the battalion he brought and a company with a total of 371 Macedonian heavy infantry, the current military forces in Greatpolis are all Britts. Deli, but he didn't believe the tribesmen under Bradley. Bradley had already been cast aside by the Britt tribe because of his reputation as a traitor, so he could only follow the Macedonians all the way to the dark.

"I just hope that the supplies this time can stabilize the barbarians outside the city." Amintas said with a sigh.

"I hope so." Cenaris said, standing up from his seat, he looked at the consul in front of him, and said: "I'll arrange for the soldiers to garrison, and you have to prepare, the barbarians are cunning and changeable, Can't fully trust them."

"it is good."

After the two finished speaking, they separated and walked out of the ruling mansion. Cenares came directly to the city gate. The loading and unloading here was still going on. The heavily armed heavy infantry were standing around to guard against the barbarian tribesmen who tried to approach.

He caught sight of Sopolis, the tent, standing by a carriage, and called to him, "Sopolis."

Hearing someone calling himself, Sopolis subconsciously followed the sound. Seeing that the person calling him was Cenarius, he responded and went up to him.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Cenaris didn't answer right away. He looked around and made sure that no outsiders could hear him, then lowered his voice and said, "After the loading and unloading is over, let the soldiers take over the defense of the Britt City Defense Army, and do a good job. Ready for battle."

After hearing what he said, Sopolis was a little surprised, and he hurriedly asked: "What happened? Why is it suddenly going to war."

"It's a bit complicated to say, but you only need to know one thing, the barbarians outside the city are likely to set off a rebellion due to insufficient supplies for the winter."

"Rebellion?!"

Sopolis was stunned. He thought Cenaris was joking with him, but seeing the seriousness of the other party did not seem to be joking. He swallowed, looked around, and then said : "We only have more than 300 people, and there are at least 1 people outside the city. How can we fight?"

"Cenares, you have to think clearly, we are not Leonidas and his Spartan warriors, and this is not Thermopylae, we cannot stop the barbarians outside the city."

"I know very well." Cenaris sighed, "but what choice do we have? We know that there will be a rebellion here soon, but we want to abandon the Archon of Amyntas and this city. Fleeing under threat? I can't make this decision."

Seeing his appearance, Sopolis knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he changed the subject and asked, "Where are the Brits in the city? Won't they help us defend the city?"

"Our Legion has plundered their homeland, do you think they might help us regardless?"

"Also, maybe in the eyes of those Britts, we are evil invaders, and the barbarian tribes who launched a rebellion outside the city are their saviors."

"That's why you want the soldiers to take over their defense?" Sopolis responded instantly and asked back.

"Yes." Cenarius nodded, not concealing his distrust of the Britts, "I don't want to be stabbed on the neck by barbarians who broke in in my sleep one night. The new wife is still waiting for me to go back."

……

The messenger sent by Cenares did not go directly to the city of Pella. After thinking about it halfway, he decided to ask for help from the nearest city of Lamia first.After learning of the possible rebellion in Greatpolis, the Consul Diodotos knew that the matter was serious. While arranging for the courier to change to a batch of fast horses to go back on the road, he summoned the Macedonian officials who were with him and asked what to do. how to respond.

The military strength of Lamia City is completely negligible. After a long discussion, several officials decided that they were powerless and should not go into this muddy water. Otherwise, they would not be able to rescue them later and would instead attract the rebels to them. In this way, losing two cities in a row would be bad.

However, Diodotos didn't think so. He turned his attention to the barbarian tribes gathered outside the city. The winter supplies from Pella City had just been distributed, and all the tribes were very satisfied with it. It's time for them to dedicate themselves to the kingdom.So he just talked to a few officials who were not optimistic, and then directly ordered people to announce it, asking the various barbarian tribes outside the city to provide soldiers and prepare for war.

As soon as the consul's order came out, the entire city of Lamia became lively, and the chiefs gathered to discuss who was the target of the war in this order. So they can't guess the answer no matter how they guess.

Doubts are doubts, the chiefs still obediently obeyed the order to recruit warriors from the tribe and hand them over to the consul.

As mentioned before, Diodotos was born as a companion cavalry and also knew the relevant knowledge of military command. Therefore, after the army was recruited, he personally led the army to Greatpolis.
