I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 14 Out of the City
"Macedonian?"

The Thracian named Orouzon was stunned for a moment, obviously a little confused. Generally speaking, Macedonians would not be reduced to the point of being coolies, unless their family went bankrupt, they were forced to live on the streets or sold into slavery, but this kind of Examples are still very rare.

Seeing that Antigonus didn't intend to continue the conversation, Oro Uzon didn't continue talking, but hid the rising doubts in his heart.

Ten minutes later, the convoy left Pella City and entered the Ankos Manor. After driving all the freedmen out of the carriage and letting them go to work in the fields, the person in charge called Antigonus aside by name, although he didn't know this. The identity of the boy who was forcibly pushed in, but he still vaguely knew that the identity of the other party was special.

Therefore, the person in charge changed his usual arrogance, and respectfully said to Antigonus, "Master Philipos, this place is very safe. There is no one who knows you. You can leave at any time."

"Very good." Antigonus nodded indifferently, took out a few drachmas from his bosom, threw them to the person in charge, and at the same time reminded in a dark tone: "I don't want my presence here to be leaked , if I find out that someone has leaked the secret, you can guess the consequences."

Although the boy in front of him was young, his threatening words were enough to make the person in charge's scalp tingle. He nodded hastily and said, "My lord, I swear to the gods that I will keep this secret."

"Yeah." Antigonus nodded, and changed his tone more relaxed, as if the threat just now was not what he said, "Get me a horse and a weapon, I want to get out of here."

"Yes, yes." The person in charge quickly agreed. There are a lot of Macedonian horses, so the price of horses and cavalry is very cheap. He didn't feel sorry for Antigonus's request for horses. sent away.

The two people who were talking didn't notice that there was a shadow hiding behind a pile of haystacks not far away, eavesdropping secretly. After hearing Antigon's threat, this burly man with golden curly hair rolled his eyes. After a few laps, I had some guesses in my heart. Seeing that their conversation was coming to an end, I hurriedly left before being discovered.

Under the arrangement of the person in charge, a horse was quickly brought over. Antigonus looked at the black steed up and down. Although he didn't know war horses, and he had rarely seen a live horse in his previous life, he could still see the horse. The valiant and heroic appearance of a steed—there are some traffic police who ride a steed on duty, but that is just an individual northern city, and the southern city where he is located has not established one.

After making sure that the other party didn't do anything, Antico turned on the horse with the help of the slave leading the horse, grabbed the reins, and took the recurve sword handed over by the person in charge, looked down at the other party, and said: "Remember what you say."

As soon as he finished speaking, he tightened the reins and clamped the horse's belly with his legs. The horse under his crotch let out a long neigh and then spread its hooves and rushed out.

……

A few hours later, Antigon, who was galloping along the path, rode his horse and arrived at Clark Manor. There were already several fellow cavalry waiting here. When they saw Antigon approaching, they hurried forward to greet him. Antigon glanced at each of them. The face, after confirming that it was the knight in the general's guard in his memory, he let down his guard.

"Your Majesty, the mobilization orders for all the tribes that support us have been issued, and the army will be assembled within six days at the latest."

The headed Knight Report.

"Very good, how many troops are expected to be mobilized?" Antigonus said.

The young man wearing linen clothes and looking like a down-and-out common man looked down at the well-equipped knights from a high position. It seemed inconsistent, but no one around him saw this scene, so there was no surprise.

"According to the approximate data given by Evanus, we speculate that at most 1000 or more than [-] fighters can be mobilized."

"Oh?" Antigonus narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words, showing a scrutinizing gaze, "There are only so many people?"

To be honest, Antigonus was a little disappointed. The figure of more than 1000 and two hundred people was not satisfactory, especially from the perspective of Antigonus, who had crossed over from a country with a large population.You know, in the war years before he crossed over, the average number of troops of the Celestial Dynasty on each front was around 80: the treasure island in the east was recovered immediately, and the troops from the eastern theater landed directly from the sea in Neon, Nanchao, and the two The Chinese army fought with the local m army and gained a significant advantage; the army in the south crossed the Himalayas arrogantly, conquered New Delhi before the Indian army could react, captured a group of important officials alive, and forced the interim government to move to Mumbai.

This is still a modern war in which the number of participants is generally low. If the timeline is pushed forward, the number of participants can be even greater.

However, after he thought about it, it was only the Bronze Age, and more than 1000 warriors were quite a lot, so he was relieved.

But those knights didn't know Antigonus's thoughts. The leading knight hesitated for a while, and then persuaded: "Your Majesty, this is the largest number of troops that each tribe can provide."

"That's how it is." Antico pursed his thin lips slightly, without explaining anything. One of the knights saw this and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, shall I take you to clean it first?"

Antigonus was taken aback for a moment, he followed the knight's gaze to look at his stained robe, and immediately understood what he was doing, so he nodded and said, "Yes."

……

After some cleaning, Antigonus put on a new high-quality robe and walked out, but saw Ivanus who had been waiting outside, he was slightly taken aback, but quickly reacted, and greeted Evenus sat down.

The two sat down, and Antigonus ordered some wine (in ancient Greece, people drank wine mixed with water as a drink), and then asked: "Ivanus, what is the result of this operation?"

"Your Majesty, we have achieved a lot. If we add the soldiers provided by each tribe to your army, our advantage will be greatly improved."

"However, I think those clans that rejected our recruitment should have reported this matter to Euphemia. I'm afraid she's also aware of it and is going to attack us."

Hearing this, Antigonus couldn't help but think of the knight loyal to Euphemia he saw when he left Pella, and his uneasiness became more intense.

Seeing that Antigonus frowned, Evanus restrained himself even though he wanted to ask, took the wine glass handed by the female slave, and drank the wine mixed with water in one gulp.

"Evenus, I think we are in big trouble."

For a long time, Antigonus stared at Ivanus and said every word.
