I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 15
"Evenus, I think we are in big trouble."

After Antigonus finished speaking, Ivanus frowned, put down the wine glass in his hand, and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"When I left the city of Pella, I saw knights loyal to Euphemia leave the city on horseback and run towards Thermopylae." Antigonus did not hide anything, and confided everything he had seen, heard, and guessed. After he finished speaking, Evanus also changed his face, realizing that something was wrong.

"If your guess is correct." Evanus said with a slightly anxious tone, "then Nicanor's army may leave Thermopylae Pass and march towards Pella soon. Once Nicanor arrives in Pella, Our first-mover advantage will be gone.”

"It was precisely because I thought of this that I was so worried." Antigonus said in a deep voice.As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up suddenly and walked quickly out of the hall. Evenus quickly followed and saw Antigonus taking the reins from a slave, getting on his horse, and driving the horse to rush out of the manor.

He quickly thought of Antigonus's intentions, quickly found a horse, and followed him.

While galloping on his horse, Antico called up the system interface and called out to the system: "System, is there any other way for me to recruit an army?"

【No】

"???"

"And what if I die in battle for lack of troops?"

[The system will actively search for the host 003 and carry on the inheritance]

The implication is that it has nothing to do with me whether you die or not. Anyway, if you die, I can still find a new host.

Listening to the cold mechanical sound of the system, Antico suddenly thought of his tragic death as a senior traveler. He died directly in the hands of the barbarians, and the system didn't even help him. So now he could only die, let alone the system. Might be helpful.

Do everything on your own.After thinking about this, Antigonus gritted his teeth and continued to gallop, finding a place where there was no one else, and summoning the unsummoned army he had!

The moment he decided to call, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in the sky, and then a beam of light fell from the sky, completely covering the ground in front of Antigonus. Antigonus only felt his eyes were extremely burning, and a few tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. Passed his cheek, and at this moment, several white lightning flashed in the air again, followed by several deafening thunders. In the thunder, Antigonus could vaguely hear incomparably majestic whispers in his ears. !
A few minutes later, the beam of light in front of him gradually shrank, and finally turned into countless light particles and drifted away with the wind. After the light particles disappeared completely, hundreds of heavily armed soldiers appeared in front of Antigonus. They looked solemn and burly, After seeing Antigonus, they moved in unison, took a step forward with their left foot, then knelt down on one knee, and shouted in unison: "See my king Antigonus!"

"In the name of Zeus, we will fight to the end for you!"

"!!!"

The chorus of shouts shook the world and frightened the war horse under Antigonus, making several uneasy snorts. Antigonus gently stroked the forehead of the warhorse while observing the soldiers kneeling on one knee.

Just like the classification given by the system, these soldiers were arranged in four distinct phalanxes: the Macedonians were armed with three- to six-meter-long Sarissa spears and small Macedonian bucklers, and wore Thracian helmets and linen breastplates. The spearmen with bronze shields form a phalanx; the Macedonian hoplites holding Greek Dory lances and Aspis bucklers, wearing linen breastplates and various bronze helmets form a phalanx; holding bronze bucklers and spears, The Iphicrast light infantry without armor (a few people will wear linen breastplates), wearing Thracian pointed helmets without face shields or various helmets form a phalanx; finally, they hold round shields and javelins, the same The Greek raiding cavalry, without armor and wearing Greek round felt hats and Phrygian caps, formed a square formation.

The difference between heavy loading and light loading is very obvious here.

Antigonus was full of heart and blood, and this was his army, an army that was completely loyal to him, an army that could go through fire and water for him.

Every man has his own dream of being a general, which is rooted in his heart and engraved in his DNA (don’t engrave everything into your DNA!), but as he grows older, this dream Gradually forgotten, it will not be remembered again until one day when you encounter an opportunity.

"Get up, Macedonian warriors." Antigonus forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart, and said loudly with a slightly trembling tone.After his words fell, the soldiers stood up together, and hundreds of them were as neatly organized as one person.

Antigonus took a deep breath, and then exhaled the turbid air in his chest. Feeling the excitement in his heart faded, he continued: "Macedonian warriors, the kingdom is now in a life-and-death situation. Queen Euphemia and Her lackeys Nicanor have united against me, the most legitimate and legitimate king of the Macedonian kingdom."

"So I need you, I need you to fight with me against Euphemia and her lackeys, and revitalize the Kingdom of Macedonia!"

"In the name of Zeus, in the name of Alexander!"

"In the name of Zeus! In the name of Alexander!!!"

The soldiers shouted loudly in unison, cooperating perfectly with Antigonus, so he nodded with satisfaction and said: "Now, please come out, commanders of each unit."

As soon as the words fell, an officer in armor walked out of each phalanx. Their faces were indifferent, and they exuded a faint murderous aura. They could be seen as veterans with rich experience.

Antigonus immediately stepped forward, sat on the horseback and looked at the officers, paused, and said, "Introduce yourself, officers."

"Your Majesty, I am Aristode, Commander of the First Battalion of Bronze Shield Pikemen." A tall and tall officer headed by clenched his right fist and knocked on his left heart, and said loudly.

His volume was so loud that Antigonus' eardrums were a little numb, but he didn't show it, but nodded to show that he understood, and looked at the next person.

"I am Menipides, commander of the first company of the first battalion of bronze shield pikemen, Your Majesty."

"I am Antiochus, Commander of the Second Company of the First Battalion of Bronze Shield Pikemen, Your Majesty."

"I'm……"

……

After a round of introductions, Antigonus had a brief understanding of the company-level and above commanders of the army under his command. Although Aristotle, the highest-ranked man, was the strongest, he could tell from his eyes that flickered from time to time. It can be seen that he is not a person with a simple mind and well-developed limbs-such a person will not be promoted to a battalion-level commander. Although the battalion-level commander in the complete Macedonian military system is still at the middle and lower levels, in the early days, it was already an officer. Tico is the highest rank under his command.
