I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 123 Submission of the Tirgetai
In the small city called the capital built by the Tirgtai people, at this time, a guest who was dressed in a special dress compared to the surrounding people was ushered in.

The guest was accompanied by several attendants. He was dressed in a white robe, with a crown made of olive branches on his blond curly hair. His gestures and gestures were full of the so-called civilized demeanor that was incompatible with the surrounding barbarians.

Blelim, the king of the Tiergetai people, sat lazily on a throne draped in tiger skin. Next to him were several slightly attractive female slaves in scantily clad clothes. The fruit was brought to the king's mouth, allowing him to enjoy the delicious fruit with just his mouth.

The entire throne was surrounded by piles of gold, silk, pearls and jade. Under the light, the golden light flooded the entire hall, making the attendants brought by the guests stare. However, they forcibly restrained their impulse and stood obediently.

"Message of Macedonia, welcome to the city of Tiru, ​​the capital of the Tirgtai people."

The king's voice came from the throne, and as soon as he finished speaking, the Macedonian envoy standing in the hall said loudly: "Your Majesty Bralim, the Macedonians are a peace-loving nation, and the Tirgetai are also a peace-loving nation. We The king does not want to see a war between the two countries, and the lives of the people of the two countries are devastated in the war, so he sent me here to express the goodwill of the Macedonians to you."

"laugh."

A slight sneer sounded from the barbarian elders on one side of the hall. Although the sound was not loud, it was particularly harsh in this quiet room.

King Bralim glanced coldly at the barbarian elder who sneered, the latter quickly shut his mouth, lowered his head, and remained silent.

The Macedonian envoy Lakaris ignored the abrupt sneer just now, his face remained unchanged, and continued: "Because of the military operations of the Cesis in winter, my king has ordered the mobilization of the great Macedonian army to prepare to march to the west. This military operation is only aimed at the tribes against the Macedonian Kingdom, if your country is willing to become an ally of the Macedonian Kingdom, then the Macedonian army will bypass Tiru."

Hearing that the war was about to break out, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed. Blelim on the throne also changed his sitting position. He leaned forward slightly, looked at Lakaris, and said: "Please forgive me. To put it bluntly, the military action against the Macedonians was initiated privately by the Thesis, so why should the entire western tribes be implicated?"

"The weak are not qualified to argue with the strong, Your Majesty King Bralim." The Macedonian envoy said neither humble nor overbearing, "Now you have only two choices, either accept our goodwill, or stand with the western barbarians to welcome The wrath of the Macedonian Legion."

This is the naked threat of force. King Bralim's face became very ugly, and a barbarian elder in the crowd couldn't help but want to stand up and reprimand the Macedonian envoy for his arrogance, but he was stared at by the king. Withdrew back, the rest of the people also showed dissatisfaction.

Although his face was ugly, King Bralim did not reprimand the Macedonian envoy. He took a few deep breaths, suppressed his anger, and said, "Your Excellency, this matter is of great importance. I need to discuss it with the elders, so please You go back and rest for a few days."

Knowing the embarrassment of King Tirgetai, Lakaris nodded and said, "I hope His Majesty the King can give me a satisfactory result. In addition, I want to remind you that this war is inevitable. You should not I wish I could stay out of it.”

……

After the Macedonian envoy left, the hall quickly fell into one after another of quarrels. The elders and chiefs expressed their thoughts one after another. Those who did not want to endure the humiliation shouted for war and wanted to unite the entire western barbarian tribes against the Macedonians. Some rational people persuaded the king to accept the olive branch offered by the Macedonians to avoid losses to the tribe.

Most of the Oglell Peninsula fell into the hands of the Macedonians, and the barbarian tribes living on it all became Macedonian vassals one after another. Even the Brits, who possessed the ability to smelt iron ore and iron tools, could only stick to their The city was eventually conquered, and what capital did the Tirgetai, who were not as powerful as the Brits, have to be enemies of Macedonia?
King Bralim obviously understood this truth, so he chose to endure.

With the Macedonian military threat on one side and the so-called national independence on the other, King Bralim hesitated for a few minutes before giving what he believed to be the correct answer amidst the noise of his subordinates.

A few days later, the Tirgtai declared to be the military ally of the Kingdom of Macedonia and provided tribal troops as assistance to the ally's military operations.

After the news came out, the entire western part of the Ograre Peninsula was shocked. Those tribes that had diplomatic relations with the Tirgetai sent envoys to ask King Bralim about this matter and the king's attitude, but the king Keep these envoys out, and let them tell them that if you don't want the tribe to go into destruction, just become an "ally" of the Macedonians like him.

The disappointed messengers conveyed his original words to their masters. Some barbarian chiefs began to think about the meaning of the words and the things behind them. Most of the chiefs cursed the cowardice of the Tirgtais. They have heard about wars in the east and north, but their pride as warriors prevented them from becoming subordinate to the Macedonians without resistance.

They are so "brave", but courage without matching strength can only be called recklessness. The Macedonian army that has already mobilized these barbarian tribes who are unwilling to return to civilization will be included in the targets of destruction, and Afterwards, they set out from Pella City and headed westward along the convenient paved road, and arrived at Tiru City, the capital of the Tirgtai people, in just over half a month.

The Tirgtai people were shocked by the "superior speed" of the Macedonian army. Headed by King Bralim, they hurried out of the city gate and saluted the Macedonian king Antigonus Borgia who personally led the army to the west. , and respectfully welcome the friendly troops from the east into the city.

Antigonus has always been tolerant and generous to "allies" who know current affairs, and he has not changed after the Greatpolis rebellion. He dismounted and walked with King Bralim, expressing his concern for the future of the two countries and Macedonia After talking with the army about the next war, after learning that King Bralim decided to offer an army of about 3000 without any hint from him, he seemed extremely happy, and announced on the spot that once the west was pacified, Tirgtai People will be the most loyal allies of the Macedonians.
