I am the son of the traveler

End of Chapter 186

Antigonus finally answered the city of Pella.

After killing "Hungry Wolf" Vincent and his minions, Antigonus disbanded the mercenary group he had recruited, and the loot obtained from the bandit suppression was equally divided as much as possible among the mercenaries who participated in the battle. Antigonus's generosity won him a good reputation in the mercenary market of the Catalan Kingdom. His self-sufficient act of suppressing bandits also won the praise of the civilians in the three regions of Donla, Gol and Trollope.

But all of this has nothing to do with Antigonus. After handing over the rest of the spoils to the Morse family, Antigonus embarked on the journey back to his hometown with the Macedonian guards brought from Bulllap. After experiencing many things in this foreign land, Antigonus found that although the court life in Pella was boring, it was better than safety, and no one of his confidantes would die because of him.

As for Agnes, Antigonus has been stubbornly fantasizing that he is not dead, and that one day in the future he will suddenly appear and greet him with a smile. He knows that this kind of thing is unlikely to happen, but since he was a child The great friendship made it impossible for him to let go easily, even if Antigonus's soul took over the body and spent only a few years with the other party.

After nearly a month of journey, Antigonus returned to the long-lost city of Pella. When he saw the towering white city walls and the dark flags fluttering in the wind, he almost burst into tears. Months ago, he and Angnes left with a caravan in civilian clothes. Today, a few months later, he returned again, but he was accompanied by unfamiliar faces.

Passing through the inspection of the city defense army at the city gate, one of the soldiers recognized Antigonus. Before he could shout out, Antigonus stopped him with a look, so he obediently closed his mouth and turned to He watched Antigonus enter the city with reverent eyes.

Despite the absence of Antigonus at the Vigina Palace, everything in the political and economic center of the Macedonian kingdom remained in order and little changed.There is a constant flow of pedestrians on the wide stone paved streets, both Macedonian citizens and foreign travelers can live in harmony; the bustling Port of Pella has countless boats coming in and out every day, bringing goods from foreign countries and a steady stream of goods to this capital of the country. Continuous wealth; the Borgia Square in front of the Vigina Palace is full of large and small shops. Under the surveillance of the city defense army, both domestic and foreign merchants are abiding by the ancient business rules and trading in good faith; In the strong and deep-walled compound of the Vigina Palace, the heavily armed Praetorian Guards walked in neat steps, patrolling this solemn palace and maintaining the majesty of the royal family.

Everything is so orderly. The city of Pella will not change because of everyone's departure. Her prosperity is the joint efforts of two generations of kings of the Macedonian Kingdom, and no one can change it.

……

The return of Antigonus was only spread in a small area in the Vagina Palace, because the news that he deliberately concealed before leaving was only known to a few important people, so during the few months when he left the kingdom, The entire Macedonian Kingdom thought that His Majesty the King was still in the palace, and some people were still wondering why the usually active king had suddenly disappeared recently. If they knew about Antigonus's experience, they would surely be enlightened .

"Antigonus, you are finally back."

Looking at her husband who had been away from home for several months and hadn't returned, Helen rushed up to him regardless of the dust and dust on his body, and gave Antigon a big hug.After not seeing each other for several months, Antigonus's face became more weather-beaten, the calluses on his hand holding the sword became thicker, and even his skin became darker.

"Your skin is not much different from those Greeks outside." Freed from Antigon's arms, Helen looked at Antigon with a smile and joked.

"There is still a difference. I was tanned, and it will turn white after a while." Antigonus also smiled and patted Helen's head, and replied in a gentle tone.

Hearing the voice that she had dreamed about several times in her dreams, Helen held back her tears and slipped back into Antigonus's arms, saying in a muffled voice, "Then don't go anymore, I'm very special." worry about you."

"What's there to worry about? Didn't I often lead troops on expeditions before?" Antigonus said with a smile, in order to appease his wife, he patted her on the back lightly.

"It's different." Helen retorted, "You used to have many soldiers around you to protect you, but this time you only have Agnes alone. If something really happened to you, what should I do?"

As she spoke, the tears she was holding back were about to fall again.

Antico felt the faint trembling of his wife in his arms, his heart tightened, and he hugged her a little tighter, and said in an apologetic tone, "I won't anymore, Agnes' death has taught me a great lesson , not only for you, but also for the entire Macedonian Kingdom, I will never put myself in danger again."

"Really?" Helen raised her head, her wet eyes widened, and she looked at Antigonus.

"Really." Antigonus replied softly, lowered his head, and kissed her forehead lightly.

Although there was no guarantee that Antigonus would really fulfill his promise, Helen still hugged him happily, as if she was afraid that Antigonus would run away when she was not paying attention.

The two hugged each other for a while and then separated. Looking at the servants and guards walking away, Helen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she and Antigonus were a legitimate couple, she was still just a thin-skinned girl after all. If others see you, you will feel shy.

Antigonus had a panoramic view of her movements, chuckled in his heart, but calmly held Helen's hand, and walked deep into the palace.While walking, Antigonus shared with Helen his experiences in Cattelan Kingdom. Of course, in order to prevent her from worrying, Antigonus deliberately omitted the thrilling part in the middle, but even so, Helen was still able to guess the danger at that time. Worry was written all over his face.

Like Antigonus, she was also moved by Agnes' loyalty, but in her opinion, as the king's bodyguard chief, if he could sacrifice his life to defend the king, Agnes deserved his death.

After listening to Antigonus's narration, Helen was silent for a long time. She remembered what her grandfather told her not long ago, and a little unnoticeable struggle flashed across her face, and she said, "Your Majesty, the kingdom needs an heir, a member of the Macedonian royal family." Just you, please let me give you a crown prince."

"what?"

Antigonus was startled by Helen's sudden words. He looked at his wife in surprise. He never thought that such words would come from the other party's mouth, because these are usually the words of senior officials and nobles. of.

"Your grandfather taught you these words?" Antigonus asked, staring at Helen's delicate face.

Even if he didn't ask, he could guess, except for her grandfather Xenonides, who else could say such a thing in front of her?
Antigonus guessed it all of a sudden, and Helen didn't intend to hide it, so she nodded and admitted, "It's not just grandpa who told me, I also think so. During your absence, I They are all worried that if something really happens to you, without any members of the royal family who can inherit the throne, the kingdom that has finally grown stronger is likely to return to the state it was before you took the throne."

Having said this, she paused and quietly measured Antigonus's reaction. Seeing that he had no intention of stopping her from continuing to speak, she continued: "But if there is an heir, the whole country will settle down, and I can also Feel free to follow you to the underworld."

After stopping at the words behind her, Antigonus's tense face relaxed, he rubbed Helen's face fiercely, and scolded with a smile: "Don't think nonsense, I won't have an accident, and you don't need to be with me To the Underworld."

"But what if..."

Helen still wanted to continue talking, but Antigonus interrupted her and said, "If there is no if, I can't die. Don't forget, when I came to the throne, what did the Macedonians call me?"

"What?" Helen asked very cooperatively. In fact, because she rarely went out during that time, she knew very little about folk affairs.

"They call me the Son of God, the Son of Zeus." Antigonus explained to her seriously, "I am the son of the God King Zeus, how dare the underworld accept me?"

After finishing speaking, he didn't give Helen a chance to react, and continued to walk forward while holding Helen's hand. After she reacted, he didn't continue to talk about it, but he still insisted on his own opinion, and he wanted to tell An Ti Ke gave birth to a crown prince.

Looking at Helen's serious face, Antigonus knew that he would not give up her idea for a while. After thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with this matter. The most important thing to maintain the stability of an autocratic monarchy One of the good ways is that the royal family has a healthy heir to the crown prince. Although Antigonus now has a thriving and powerful kingdom, the position of the heir has always been vacant, and the people below will inevitably feel uneasy, which has nothing to do Whether there is a system or not, as long as it is a human being, there will be such worries.

Thinking of this, he hugged Helen tighter. Anyway, everything they should do between them had been done. Whether they could have a child or not all depended on the accuracy of Antigonus's gun.

……

Although there were many bad memories during this trip to Cattelan Kingdom, Antigonus still understood the basic state of the country. Antigonus did not think that she could be a good country for this country, which was completely a replica of the Middle Ages in Western Europe. The object of the alliance is enough to be seen from the robbers everywhere.

Therefore, Antigonus silently kicked this country off the list of allies. In the event of a large-scale invasion of Macedonian goods, he only needed to sign a non-aggression treaty with the country to contain it. Waiting for Carter After the Lan people completely relied on Macedonian goods, they would never dare to declare war on the Kingdom of Macedonia unless they had a great advantage.

In fact, if Antigonus wanted to ensure the safety of the north, he could go one step further and allow the rapidly developing Kingdom Intelligence Department to gradually infiltrate King Cattelan's court.The young King Catalan was weak and sick, and every year he recruited well-trained doctors from all over the country to treat him. Although Antigonus didn't know what disease the king had, this did not prevent him from maliciously guessing when the king would die.

The best way to control a country is not only military conquest, but also disintegration from within. Do you still remember the usurper King Matthaeus? Strong fortresses often disintegrate from within. Antigonus will now let The Kingdom Intelligence Department shifted part of its work focus to Cattelan Kingdom to prepare for a rainy day.

Speaking of which, the kingdom's intelligence department is mainly focused on the old rival, the Duke of Harun, and the seemingly loyal ally, the Kingdom of Matteus. It also guards against the kingdom of Lagnia in the northern part of the Gilis region from time to time. This is a bit strange. The country and the Gilis region are separated by a majestic mountain range, so the sense of presence is not high, but they occupy a favorable location. If one day the brain twitches and stares at the Gilis region of Macedonia, it will really be a fight like the Kingdom of Macedonia One side suffers.

Now, the Principality of Harlan is at war all the year round, and the threat to the Gilis region is decreasing day by day, and the energy invested by the intelligence agencies can be reduced accordingly. Therefore, after Antigonus issued an order, many spies came from the Principality of Harlan. Transferred to Cattelan Kingdom, changed name, started a new mission.

As the spies started their new lives one after another, Antigonus also slowly walked into the second half of his remaining life.

A year and a half later, Helen got her wish and gave birth to her and Antigonus's first child, but their first child was a baby girl, who could not become the crown prince under the male succession law of the Kingdom of Macedonia.Despite Helen's disappointment, she was still infected by Antigonus' love for baby girls. Antigonus was full of confidence in himself. He was in his prime, full of energy, and didn't worry about the issue of heirs.

Then, a year later, the second child came to the world. Perhaps it was Helen's sincere prayer before giving birth. They gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Antigonus announced the good news to the whole country immediately. At the same time, the eldest son, who was named Alexander, was made the crown prince—his name was Alexander. Antigonus hoped that he could follow the example of his ancestor Alexander the Great and fulfill his long-cherished wish of conquering the world.

Not long after Alexander was born, the war broke out between the Kingdom of Macedonia and the Merchant Republic of Philonia. The cause was that the Merchant Republic of Philonia rashly raised tariffs on Macedonian merchants, which harmed the interests of the Macedonians. This move undoubtedly angered the Macedonians.So, on the second day after the letter of war was submitted to the Chamber of Commerce of Feronia, the huge Macedonian naval fleet set sail, carrying thousands of Macedonian soldiers across the Aegean Sea.

The war between the two countries first broke out in the Aegean Sea. The fleets of the two sides fought on the vast sea. This unparalleled battle lasted for a day and a night. corpse.When the Macedonian navy put gunpowder weapons into battle for the first time, the Ferron fleet was almost wiped out. The Macedonian navy immediately pursued the victory and completely blocked the port of Cerro on Fell Island. They landed on the island and launched an attack on this wealthy city.

The Philonians only resisted for less than a month, and Port Cerro declared its fall. The Macedonian army led by "One-Eyed" Antigonus sacked the city, and all the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years fell into the hands of the Macedonians. , Every Macedonian soldier who participated in the war became a rich man overnight, which undoubtedly improved the morale of all soldiers and made them look forward to the next attack.

Two months later, the Merchant Republic of Feron was destroyed, and the two islands of Phil and Lund became the territory of the Kingdom of Macedonia. Antigonus merged the two islands into the newly established Province of Feron, and parachuted a Macedonian nobleman as governor.

After a few years of peace, the Macedonian Kingdom showed its sharp fangs again, which shocked the surrounding countries. Under the leadership of the Lagonia Kingdom, the five surrounding countries joined the encirclement of the Macedonian Kingdom. An all-out war on the Sk continent broke out.

In the 46th year since the founding of Pella, the Principality of Harun surrendered, and its territory was later established as the province of Harun by Antigonus.

In the 47th year since the founding of Pella, King Cattelan died of illness in Burlap under the threat of the ferocious Macedonian army. The young king who succeeded him begged for surrender to the Kingdom of Macedonia under the control of the nobles, ceded the occupied areas, and became a vassal state of Macedonia. .

Pella was founded 53 years ago, and the eight-year war finally came to an end. The Kingdom of Lagnia and its allies suffered a disastrous defeat. One of the five countries participating in the war was destroyed, one surrendered, and the other three either ceded most of the land or suffered serious national power losses. Powerless to resist the Macedonian Kingdom any longer.

In this all-out war known as the Eight Years War by later generations, both the attacking side led by the Kingdom of Lagonia and the defending side headed by the Kingdom of Macedonia lost a large number of soldiers. The total number of soldiers who died in the war It was more than [-], and it was impossible to count innocent civilians.In this war, the Macedonian army was the first to use gunpowder weapons that crossed the era, and the roar of gunpowder shocked the entire East Musk continent.

Antigonus, who took the lead and led the army to kill several times in the war, also suffered trauma to varying degrees. After the war, his body became weaker and weaker, and he finally died in the winter of the 56th year of Pella's founding. Inside the Palace of Virgina, at the age of 35.

What Antigonus didn't know was that when his consciousness was dying, a dazzling meteor pierced the sky in the vast night sky. No one knew what this spectacle represented, but somewhere in the Palace of Vagina, a man dressed in The child in Macedonian aristocratic clothes looked around blankly, and said a sentence in Mandarin that no one around him could understand.

"Fuck, am I time-traveling?"
