I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 4 My Army
After some questioning, Antigonus finally understood what this total war system was.

The Total War system is similar to those Total War novels that Antigonus saw at a certain point in his previous life, such as "Bringing Total War to Another World", "Rise of the Empire Total War", etc. The War (Total War) series of games are used as a template, and system owners can use the system to recruit troops, manage cities and state affairs, and expand their power step by step.

Of course, having such a system does not come without a price. The most obvious thing is that the host cannot return to modern society and can only stay in a different world forever.

This punishment was useless to Antigonus. His body was melted by the high heat after the nuclear bomb explosion, and he was just a tiny speck of dust in the air when he traveled back.

……

In addition to the role of the total war system, Antigonus also learned about the life of his predecessor, the legendary King Philip.King Philip must have been a farming party in his previous life, because no one except the farming party could forcefully complete a farming simulator with a war system. After he expanded to the position of Thermopylae Pass and established Thermopylae Pass, he never expanded outside. Instead, they have been farming wildly in the Macedonian Plain for 30 years, and they have abruptly grown from a few thousand people to more than 5000 people today.

This kind of tenacious farming perseverance is really a role model for my generation.

After seeing the deeds of the senior traveler, that is, Daddy Cheap, Antico checked the system functions again.

As mentioned earlier, this total war system can handle conscription, manage cities and state affairs, and can also display the personal attributes of characters.

For example, Antico's personal attributes:
Antigonus Borgia
Age: 16
Authority: 5 (Strength of the general's conduct, and ability to lead troops in battle.)
Resourcefulness: 7 (A general's ability to understand tactics and strategy.)
Enthusiasm: 4 (General's belief and personal combat ability.)
characteristic:
Basileus: A good leader will find ways to motivate his subjects. (Authority+2)
Counselor: Education and self-cultivation are the foundation of character. (Intellect +2)
Integrity: Integrity is one of the virtues of human nature. (Authority +1, Enthusiasm +1)

Armistice: Even though you have commanded countless wars, you have never participated in a real war. (Authority +1, Resourcefulness +3)

Well-trained: Even if they are not combatants, their combat qualities are still better than ordinary people. (Enthusiasm +2)

……

It's still a familiar formula, and it's still a familiar taste. It's a total war system, and even the personal attributes are exactly the same as in the game. Moreover, Antigonus didn't see any negative characteristics. This is what makes him most gratified. The mood that became bad after Asia Pacific has improved a lot.

Then, however, he was in a bad mood again.

"Why can't I check the functions of city management and national government affairs???"

Looking at the [requirements not met, this function cannot be viewed] written in red font in front of him, Antikon's mood was momentarily not good. He could only check his personal attributes for help. The most important thing was city management and national government affairs. City management can conscript soldiers, and state government affairs can check fiscal revenue.

As long as he can conscript and have money, why is he afraid of Empress Ophelia Asia Pacific?A wave of pawns burst out directly, just push them away, simple and rude.

The most critical function of the total war system can't be used, and Antigonus said that it is better not to give him this broken system. If he can't beat Ophelia Yatai, he may not be able to use it in his life.

However, things eventually turned around.Thanks to Antico's aura of the protagonist of the traverser, or maybe the system saw that his current situation was too pitiful, so he gave him a so-called "novice gift package".

【新手礼包内容：20000德拉克马（马其顿货币）、马其顿铜盾长枪兵256人、伊菲克拉斯特轻盾步兵132人、希腊突袭骑兵90人、马其顿重装步兵300人、间谍1人】

There are a lot of things out of the novice bag, but Antigon quickly discovered a problem. If he summoned these soldiers, he would have to bear the obligation to pay the soldiers every month. If it is calculated, a copper shield The military salary of a pikeman is 10 drachmas, the monthly military salary of an Ifecrast light shield infantry is 5 drachmas, the monthly military salary of a Greek raiding cavalry is 15 drachmas, and the monthly military salary of a Macedonian heavy infantry The monthly military salary is 8 drachmas, and he will have to pay a huge military salary of 6970 drachmas a month!
This is the amount obtained after deducting the military salary of his partner cavalry guards. Thankfully, he has not yet fallen out with Queen Euphemia, so his guards still need Euphemia to pay the military salary, so that he saves another year. pen overhead.

You know, the military salary of a partner cavalry is 30 drachmas, and 150 people add up to 4500 drachmas a month, which is directly two-thirds of his current army's military salary.

Although he has not yet grasped the military and political power, Antigonus has already understood the nature of the army as a gold-eating beast in advance. He can pay huge military salaries without owed, and the monthly income of the Macedonian Kingdom seems to be considerable.

The topic turns back.

Considering the burden of military pay and the fact that he is now under house arrest, summoning the army is obviously unnecessary, because he doesn't know what form the army will appear after the summoning. It's okay if it's directly in the city, he can Order the army to attack the Vigina Palace before the defenders react, and there will be a wave of mutiny directly, but if it appears outside the city, it will be cool.

Although most of the troops left by Daddy Cheap are stationed at Hot Spring Pass to defend the barbarians, this does not mean that there are no soldiers in Pella City. If I remember correctly, there are at least 600 soldiers in Pella City. These more than 600 soldiers stood firm on the city wall, and without internal support, it was impossible for the army he summoned to break through the city.

Antico was a little embarrassed, and the joy of obtaining the system faded away. He just wanted to grab the collar of the system and question the other party fiercely (if the system had an entity): others who traveled through the past and owned the total war system directly became the supreme lord, Why did he have a damn "Empress Dowager Cixi" on his head after time travel?
