I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 130 Hostile
Looking at Agnes lying on the bed with a pale face, Antigonus's face was gloomy, and the air pressure in the whole room became extremely low.

In order not to frighten Helen, they let Helen go to rest in the next room beforehand, so Antigonus didn't have any worries. He looked at Agaius who was standing in the room looking a little nervous, and said in a cold tone.

"Tell me, what happened to you here, and why Agnes became like this."

"Yes, Your Majesty..." Agaius swallowed and told everything he knew.

It happened a few months ago. After Agnes and his cavalry partners arrived in Port Cerro, they first booked a room in this hotel and rested for a few days before going to the National Bank of Feron on the corner of the street to inquire. The matter of withdrawing money went smoothly, but when they were queuing up, they were provoked by a group of people who came from behind. The leader claimed that he was the eldest son of the noble governor and should not stand behind these untouchables from foreign countries , asking Agnes and the others to roll to the back.Agnes and the others were all noble nobles of the Macedonian Kingdom. They had never been provoked like this before, and they were furious on the spot. One of the impulsive people drew out his sword and wanted to fight that person, but just as he After pulling out the sword, several guards rushed out from the hall and immediately surrounded them.

The use of weapons was not allowed in the bank, and the impulsive Macedonian nobleman was immediately arrested, and he was driven out with Agnes and others. In the following months, Agnes has been looking for opportunities to rescue the man. came out, but there was no result, and Agnes didn't dare to tell Antigon about what happened here, so he didn't explain it when he wrote the letter, but just dealt with it vaguely.

The noble governor's son named Hobbs in the middle also sent someone to tell Agnes and the others that if they wanted to save the captured person, they would redeem [-] silver coins, but Agnes refused without thinking. The money in the bank belongs to the king, how could he handle it without authorization.After being rejected, Hobbs's people never came again, but put down a harsh word before leaving, telling them not to regret it when the time comes.

Because of the threat from the other party, Agnes ordered his men to be more vigilant on weekdays, but just a month ago, when he returned to the hotel from outside, he was attacked by a group of hooligans, although Agnes was the head of the Macedonian Kingdom's guards. , but in the end it was hard to beat everyone with one punch, and he was knocked down to the ground by the gangsters, and everything on his body was also taken away.When the people who went out to look for Agnes found him in the heavy rain, the blood flowing from his body had been washed all over the alley by the rain.

Agnes has been bedridden ever since.

After listening to Agios' statement, Antigonus' face became even more ugly. He immediately thought of who the person who attacked Agnes was, and it was nothing more than the son of the noble governor named Hobbs. Since the other party dared to attack If his own people make a move, then he will have to pay the price!
After he let Ageus continue to take care of Agnes, he walked out of the room, sent someone to fetch some writing tools, and wrote a letter to ask a soldier to send it back to Pella immediately. The fleet and part of the army at the military port were dispatched to put pressure on the Feron people. He knew very well that if he wanted to have a say here, then he must have a hard fist, otherwise those snobbish Feron people might not be happy Let him go, but also put some conditions on him.

Of course, it is impossible for his fleet and troops to land on the mainland of the Philon Commercial Republic. This is almost equivalent to a declaration of war. The fleet he mobilized can only park in the outer sea of ​​this country. If something happens, it will be far away. Hydrolysis can not be near thirsty.

Thinking of this, he put down the pen in his hand and thought about how to act.

The political arena of the Merchant Republic of Feron is divided into several different parties. These parties usually compete for power with each other. The honorable Governor Hobbs (in order to distinguish it from his son, so add a big before his name, after his son The ruling party headed by Hobbs Jr. was naturally hostile and feared by other parties, and received the most political attacks.

If he wants to deal with Hobbes' family, Antigonus can seek cooperation from parties that are hostile to the family. This is also the best method he can choose at present, but it is not so easy to find partners for cooperation. Takashi has the greed and snobbery of a businessman in his heart. If he came to the door rashly, he was afraid that the other party would have other thoughts.

Oh, I forgot to mention that although the Kingdom of Macedonia has conquered the entire Ogre Peninsula, its national power has not become stronger (this takes time), and the Philon people naturally no longer fear the Kingdom of Macedonia. In their eyes, , although the Kingdom of Macedonia has a strong army, its navy has always been unknown. If you want to deal with the Republic of Philon, you must launch an attack from the sea. In front of the powerful navy of the Philon people, the Macedonian navy is simply not enough.

And even if the Macedonian navy is strong enough to escort the army to land in Feron, the surrounding countries will not sit back and watch the Macedonians occupy this extremely important place for maritime trade. In history, several countries once coveted The richness of the Philippine Republic sent troops to launch an invasion, but under the joint efforts of several other countries, the aggression had to be stopped.

It is precisely because of this delicate balance that the Feron Merchant Republic has been able to continue peacefully to this day, collecting taxes from merchant ships traveling to and from the sea.

Although Antigonus thinks that the army of the Kingdom of Macedonia is powerful and can defeat the armies of most countries in the world, he is not an arrogant lunatic. Can't do it.

After thinking about it, Antigonus didn't make a decision right away. He first sent people to collect information on the political arena of the Republic, and then took a few people to the National Bank to withdraw the [-] silver coins deposited by the late king.In order to gain the support of Filon politicians, money is essential. Although he feels a little distressed about this, as the saying goes, he can only do this if he is reluctant to let his children be entangled with wolves.

What Antigonus didn't know was that their actions were seen by a few passers-by not far from the hotel. Seeing these Macedonian soldiers dispatched in two ways, the passers-by looked at each other and turned away one after another. , and walked towards the direction of the ruling mansion.These people are the servants that Hollis Jr. sent to keep an eye on them. Hollis Jr. was afraid that these Macedonians would ignore their companions who were arrested, take the money and run away, so they let people stare at them all the time, but unexpectedly Seeing them, another wave of companions came.
