Chapter 8 The Choice of the Agrians

Chapter 8 The Choice of the Agrians
The settlements of the Agrians are mostly wooden houses with civil structures, and each house has its own enclosure for holding livestock, in which goats or domestic pigs are raised. Outside the settlement, a wooden wall with a height of two to three meters surrounds the entire Surrounding the settlement, there are two gates in the wooden wall. On both sides of each gate are a pair of watchtowers on which Agrian soldiers holding javelins stand.

The land around the settlement was reclaimed, and wheat seeds were planted on it. Because of the policies of the former kings, these races that lived on hunting in Europe were forced to change to farming peoples.

The sentinel standing above saw Aris and his colleagues who were out hunting came back carrying a fat wild boar, and hurriedly called out to the people in the settlement to come out to greet them, and soon a group of people came out from the gate. They looked at several teenagers and The wild boar they carried applauded and spoke words of approval.

Hearing what they said, the teenagers were a little embarrassed. The wild boar was obviously killed by the traveler around him, and it had nothing to do with them. It seemed that they felt the emotions of Ariston (the older boy), and the traveler smiled. Laughing, he said: "This wild boar also has your credit. If you didn't chase it and it consumed a lot of energy, I wouldn't have killed him so easily."

Although Ariston knew that these were words of comfort to him, he still became more emotional after hearing this, and he and his companions ran into the crowd carrying the wild boar to accept their parents' praise.The traveler stood aside, watching them quietly, without speaking.

After a while, Ariston thought of him, pulled his father and ran to the traveler, and introduced, "Father, this is Mr. Traveler who helped us kill the wild boar."

"Thank you for your help, Mister Traveler." The man who was being pulled thanked the traveler with a smile, and then introduced himself: "I am Odoreon, the leader of the clan. Mister, where are you from?"

"I'm from Pella City." The traveler said indifferently. He looked around and made sure that no one else could hear their conversation, so he leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, I am Your Majesty the King." The envoy sent here has something important to discuss with you."

"Your Majesty the King?" Odoreon was slightly startled. Seeing that the traveler looked serious, he didn't seem to be joking, so he became serious too. He patted his son on the back and told him to go elsewhere, and then said, "You said you are His Majesty the King. If you are the special envoy, please take out your majesty's token, or I will have you arrested."

The traveler had been prepared for a long time, and he took out a metal ring from his bosom, which was engraved with the logo of the Virgina sun. Odorion knew this ring, and it was indeed the ring worn by the King of Macedon.

After confirming the other party's identity, Odoleon's tone became much more respectful, and he said, "Your Excellency, please forgive me, this is for the sake of caution."

"It's okay." The traveler waved his hand. He glanced at the tribal people who were still discussing over there. Before he could speak, Odoreon took a step ahead and said, "Your Excellency, this is not a place to talk. Please come with me." Bar."

Then, the two walked into the settlement together, and walked towards the largest building in the center of the settlement.This traveler is the spy Ivanus from the novice gift package opened by Antigonus. His abilities include detection, infiltration, destruction of supplies, intelligence countermeasures, guidance, misleading, stealing and burning ammunition, etc.Thanks to the spy's elusive nature, he managed to avoid the eyeliner of Empress Euphemia and came here with the token given to him by Antigonus.

Although the settlement of the Agrians is not as majestic as the city of Pella, it still has a certain flavor. Ivanus and Odoreon walked on the dirt road, and from time to time there were tribesmen dressed in linen walking by. He greeted Odoleon respectfully and looked at Evanus walking beside him with curious eyes.

The Agrians are not rich. This is the information held by Evanus. It can be seen from the clothing and living environment of the Agrians. There are very few valuable things in the settlements of the Agrians. The costumes of the tribesmen are also the simplest linen clothes. Their soldiers don't wear armor, but are only equipped with a large oval shield, a spear and several javelins. The hat is the cheapest Pylos-style helmet.

While observing, Evanus quickly followed Odoleon into the chief's long room, and the two sat down one by one. Odoleon sat on the main seat, looked at the king's special envoy under the hood, and said straight to the point: "Your Excellency, this place is safe, please speak directly."

"Yes." Evanus nodded, and said: "Chief Odoreon, since the king was killed by the barbarians, the kingdom's government has been controlled by Queen Euphemia, and His Majesty the King is like her puppet. Now, the king wants to To resist the control of the Queen Mother, we need the help of loyal people. Looking across the kingdom, you and your tribe are the most suitable candidates."

Odoleon did not answer directly, but asked: "Excuse me, Your Excellency, there are still more than 1000 troops stationed at Thermopylae Pass, why don't you go to them?"

"Military Consul Nicanor has joined the Queen Mother's family." Evanus said, although he didn't say it clearly, Odoleon could still hear what he meant.

"..." Odoreon didn't speak anymore, he rested his chin on his right hand, and seemed to be thinking about something. Seeing this, Evanus continued: "Your Excellency, when you crossed the Aegean Sea and went to the king, once Prove to the former king that you will always be loyal to the royal family, but now that His Majesty is in trouble, it is time for you to fulfill your oath."

Hearing this, Odoleon seemed to be touched. He thought for a while and then said slowly: "Your Excellency, Special Envoy, although I am willing to lend a helping hand, the tribe can only provide a maximum of five hundred warriors, and most of them are lightly armed." The infantry is still no match for the kingdom's heavy infantry under Nicanor's command."

"If you can convince people from other clans, then our chances of winning will be high."

The Agrians lived scattered in clans, so Odoreon could only represent the clan he led.

"There is no need to worry. I will lobby them. Besides, both the Thracians and Thessaly will fight." Ivanus said confidently, completely unable to see that he had never visited other people before. tribal look.

Seeing his appearance, Odoreon let go of the worries in his heart, stood up, and said: "Then, Your Excellency, I will issue a mobilization order within the clan, and write letters to persuade other clans, as long as His Majesty the King orders , the boys of Agrian will gather under His Majesty's banner."

"I'm glad you made the right choice, Your Excellency the Chief."
