I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 106 Attack
Diweke was surprised when he saw Antigonus being so direct, but he quickly came back to his senses, organized his words, and spoke slowly.

"In Tanthonon, ah, no, after the defeat of Arcelos, our coalition forces withdrew to the forest. Those leading tribes decided to return to their respective tribes for repairs, and then fight back after a few months, but what they didn't expect However, the Danno people were not willing to accept this tragic loss, so they turned their anger on the Duretika people who instigated them to go to war, and sent troops to conquer the opponent when the Duretika people were unprepared. Annexed the population, livestock and wealth of the Duretika people, and strengthened their strength."

"After the Danuo people started the war, other tribes followed suit and fought against the weaker tribes around them. Before our tribe was forced to flee, more than a dozen tribes of various sizes were wiped out and annexed. Before our tribe There were eight tribes, two of them were annihilated by the ambushes of the Dannor while migrating, and the remaining six tribes were scattered in the melee, and only our tribe fled to the city of Arcelos."

"What about the other five tribes?" Antigonus interrupted him and asked.

"I've already sent someone to look for it, and we should get news soon." Diweko replied truthfully.

"Tell your people that as long as they are willing to attach to me, become Macedonian vassals, and assist us in the war with the northern barbarians, then after the war is over, they can return to their hometown and obtain more fertile land." Antigonus promised road.

"I am truly touched by His Majesty's generosity. Please rest assured that my people will make the right decision and become friends of the Macedonians."

Diweco was indeed a little surprised. He thought that even if Antigonus didn't care about the fact that the Faromians had been enemies with Macedonia, he wouldn't give them better treatment, but he didn't expect that the young king would ignore the past. Given such generous terms.

However, there is no such thing as a cheap lunch in this world. Antigonus did not pursue what they had been enemies with, but it does not mean that they would forget about it. It can be said that the moment the Faromians chose Antigonus, they had become Macedonian cannon fodder.

It doesn't matter if the conditions are good, they have to have a life to enjoy.

……

After three days in the city of Arcelos, Diweko finally contacted another tribe and persuaded them to surrender. The other party was full of wariness against the Macedonians at first, but after Diweko insisted again and again, they agreed. Diweko's persuasion to surrender symbolically handed over water and soil to the Macedonians, expressing that they had surrendered.

Afterwards, Antigonus led his army to set off, led by the [-] tribal warriors gathered by the Diweko tribe, and marched northward under the watchful eyes of the residents of Arcelos City.

The experience accumulated in the two lifetimes made Antigonus not completely trust the Faroms. Therefore, while making the Faroms the pioneers to explore the way, he also sent scouts to conduct secret investigations to prevent the Faroms from appearing. And other barbarian tribes self-directed and staged a bitter trick to lure him into a trap-the painful lesson of the Battle of Teutoburg Forest was before him, and he could not let the blood of the "predecessors" be shed in vain.

Fortunately, the Faromians did not have the courage to deceive the Macedonians. In other words, the barbarians did not have the brain power to come up with such a superb strategy. Even if they thought of it for the first time, they would not be able to perform this play well.

It has to be said that Antigonus had a contemptuous attitude towards the intelligence of the barbarians.

Although he knew that it was not good to underestimate the enemy, he still unconsciously despised the barbarian in his heart, probably because of the influence of the remaining thoughts in this body.

……

Thanks to the guidance of the Faromians, Antigonus and the First Legion passed through the thick and dense forest safely in just two days. What caught his eyes was the flat and open Great Plains!
There seem to be only two geographical forms on the Oglell Peninsula. The first is forest and the second is plain. Therefore, it is very common to see open plains after walking out of a forest. Most of the smelting technology of the barbarians around the La Mountain Range and settled in specific areas is very backward, and they can only exchange for armor and weapons by trading with tribes with smelting technology.

Turning his gaze back to Antigonus, from his point of view, the plain is so vast that it can hardly be seen at a glance. He can still vaguely see several barbarian tribes who live and graze here. These tribes are not in danger. The awareness of the upcoming prevention is still ignorantly living his own little life.

Although fleeing tribes often passed by them some time ago, they thought that they were very close to the Macedonian territory, and those defeated tribes should not come close, so they were not afraid.

Looking at those barbarian tribes, the corners of Antigonus's mouth rose slightly. He felt that it was necessary for him to send a signal to the barbarians for the Macedonian Northern Expedition!

"In the name of the King of Macedonia, I declare that this plain will be renamed Threkia from now on! Macedonian warriors, raise your weapons and wipe out all the barbarians occupying the sacred territory of this kingdom!"

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

The soldiers naturally understood what the king meant, cheered loudly, and hit the shield with the weapons in their hands, making metal knocking sounds.Immediately afterwards, under the order of Antigonus, more than 1 soldiers rushed out of the forest like a flood, and killed the barbarians who settled on the plain...

……

A few hours later, riding his horse standing outside the barbarian tribe that was ignited by the flames, Antigonus narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering how much spoils this wave of massacre could get.He is really short of money. He can only make a living by plundering the barbarians to support the war. Otherwise, at the beginning of next year, he can officially declare bankruptcy, and then watch the army fall apart and his prestige plummet.

Tsk tsk tsk, Antigonus is not a holy mother, how could he treat the enemy kindly and make himself suffer?
What's more, barbarians are people?

At this moment, Cronus, the military consul who accompanied the army, came over with a smile on his face. He first saluted Antigonus, and then reported: "Your Majesty, our army has broken through four barbarian tribes, captured More than 1000 and 2 barbarians were captured, and the total value of the spoils was about [-] drachmas."

"You only got [-] after destroying four tribes?" Antigonus frowned slightly, obviously a little dissatisfied. Seeing his appearance, Cronus quickly explained: "Your Majesty, these four tribes are relatively small. It is normal that the captured booty is small, and...we can sell the prisoners of war, which is another good income."

"Just do as you say."

Antigonus waved his hand and handed over the matter to Cronus to take full responsibility.
