I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 79 Returning to the Front Line (First Order)

The news that the war was about to break out eventually spread like wildfire, spreading throughout Arcelos and the immigrant towns that were still under construction in the rear, causing panic among those immigrants, and also made several Salo tribes who had surrendered ready to move.

This time is no better than last time. The huge barbarian army that harassed the Kingdom of Cattelan and the Principality of Harun from the north has moved south. If they learn that the Macedonians who have always been hiding behind the Pella Mountains dare to take the initiative, they will definitely ignore the Bloodthirsty Moon one day later. During the many-month truce period, they directly united to fight back the Macedonians who had left the border, and took advantage of the situation to expand their territory.

Because of this, the Greek immigrants were more or less fearful. They wanted to pack their bags and go directly to the safe back of Thermopylae, but they were severely reprimanded by fellow nobles, and the militia guards composed of immigrants also The town was ordered to be cordoned off, not giving a single chance to leave.

The city of Aceros has also entered a state of martial law. The more than [-] Macedonian troops stationed here control all travel roads, and there are fully armed soldiers patrolling the city walls all day long, and waves of scouts are sent out. , to investigate the movements of the Duretika tribe closest to them in the north - although the main force of this tribe was wiped out by Antigonus, they still remained stubborn and tried to recruit other tribes to invade south to avenge that one stone.

In the south of the Mariki Plain, the Thebes immigrants were not affected at all. Under the management of Ipaminondas, they methodically used the materials given by Antigonus to build a brand new city on the plain. The eager immigrants from Thebes named it Thebes City. With sufficient manpower, the prototype of the city has been built in a short period of time.

By the way, as for the Salo tribe, although some of them are starting to make moves, most of them still advocate not to resist. These tribes have not yet come out of the shadow of the war. I am afraid that not the Greek militia can force a war. Destroy them, so - do you dare to move?Don't dare to move. Don't dare to move.

Although Antigonus knew that they didn't have the courage to dare to resist, but just in case, he took his troops to walk around several tribes to show off their strength. The surrendered Salo people saw the huge Macedonian cavalry and the four hundred in full armor. The armed Roman-style legionary infantry immediately stopped their resistance, Emma, ​​the war is about to break out, and the Macedonians can still call out so many cavalry and show their muscles, who can stand it.

In addition to going to the Salo tribe to show off his muscles, Antigonus also went to Larissa, the second immigrant town under construction (that is, a new town built by more than [-] immigrants) to appease the panicked immigrants there. In the name of the King of Macedonia, he swears to all immigrants that the army of the Kingdom of Macedonia will definitely keep the barbarians out of Arcelos, and will not let any enemy enter the rear, threatening the safety of Macedonian citizens.These oaths undoubtedly won the trust of the immigrants. They were all determined to believe in the great king who had led the army of the kingdom to victory after victory. They all accelerated the progress of the projects in their hands and let His Majesty the king see their determination.

In this era that can be said to be "simple", the king's authority is undoubtedly unmatched by anything other than the gods, especially when Antigonus has not committed any fault, his authority is in the Macedonian Kingdom. The hearts of the people are like the voice of the gods, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Seeing that the immigrants in Larissa were convinced, Antigonus put down the big stone hanging in his heart and led the army directly to Aceros.

……

On July 7st, Antigonus led his army to the city of Aceros. After half a month of absence, the city of Aceros had undergone earth-shaking changes. The original wooden walls were torn down and turned into a wall with four walls. The stone city wall is five meters high, and the area of ​​the entire town has doubled. However, a tower is still under construction every ten meters. Standing outside the city, Antico can even see the tower. Wooden lifting machines and slaves at work.

The whole town is under the cloud of war.

Antigonus and the army he brought were warmly welcomed by the defenders of Arcelus. The military consul Cronus who stayed here personally led the team out of the city to welcome the king into the city. After entering the gate, the city of Arcelus The interior scene was truly exposed to Antigonus' vision.Again, the whole town has undergone earth-shaking changes. The roads inside the town have been paved with gravel to make it easier to walk. The buildings on both sides have also become stone buildings, which can prevent the spread of fire. Another large building has been erected. Drama theaters, public baths, concert halls, etc. are all under construction. Under the scolding of the overseers, the naked slaves gradually built a magnificent Greek-style building with their blood and sweat. Style Architecture - Under the governance of the former Andros city-state consul Polemon, despite the imminent threat of war, the construction of the city will not stop.

Under the leadership of Cronus, Antigonus took the army that came with him to the barracks. After setting up the cavalry and legionary infantry, he and Cronus went directly to the command post in the barracks.On the way to the command post, Kronos also reported to Antigon the information he had obtained during this period.

According to the reports from the scouts he sent and the active spies of the Outer Battalion, the Duretika people who are determined to take revenge have already contacted their relatives, the Danno people and the Korita people, as well as several unknown small tribes to join them. The war, the armies of the Danno and Korita had just returned from the bloodthirsty moon military operations and were heading south to return to the Horde.If they decide to attack with the whole army without repairing, then Arcelos will be besieged by tens of thousands of barbarians, and the defenders of Arcelos City are only more than [-] people, with more than [-] troops resisting more than [-] enemies The siege, even if Alexander the Great comes again, I am afraid it will be troublesome.

Naturally, Antigonus couldn't make his own inferior force too obvious. Before he arrived at Aceros, he had already sent messengers to Thebes city to inform the army there to go north to join him immediately. As for the slaves in Thebes city, Antigonus didn't care about it anymore. He believed that the Thebes with [-] immigrants must be able to suppress those slaves, not to mention that they still had Ipaminondas and the elite Thebes Holy Army.

　Let me talk about the rules of adding updates here (although I don’t think you can let me add updates): one helm master adds five changes, one hall master adds ten changes, and so on
