Chapter 113 The Surrendered Tribe

"Your Majesty, the Great Mine has been captured by our army. Lord Kronos is checking the supplies in the warehouse and sending people to explore the mountain path leading to Great Rum City."

In the siege camp outside the Britt capital, Antigonus nodded in satisfaction after hearing the report from the messenger sent by Kronos, and waved him away.

After the mine was taken, he had another attack route, but the Britts would obviously set up heavy guards on that trail—as long as the opposing commander was not an idiot.Then he won't make any progress in attacking the trail.

Antigonus knew this very well, so his main attack direction was still the city wall of Greatrum, taking down the mine was just to disperse the Britts' forces, or in other words, to irritate the enemy and let the enemy walk through the road in anger. Send troops to raid the Macedonian army in the mine, which can also consume the enemy's vital strength.

No matter how you look at it, it is beneficial and harmless for the Macedonians to take down the iron ore stronghold.

After Kronos occupied the mine, he quickly counted a large amount of mined iron ore from the warehouse. Later, after special investigation, it was found that the iron content of this batch of iron ore was extremely high, which was higher than that of the iron ore in the Pera Mountains. Iron ore is of good quality.Antigonus was stunned when he knew this. It would be a waste of such a good iron ore to fall into the hands of barbarians.

On the other hand, after learning that the mine had fallen, the Council of Chiefs in Greatrum was in a rage. They angrily accused Bradley, who had fled back to report, as a coward who abandoned soldiers. No matter how the latter defended himself, he turned a deaf ear. After the fall of the mine, they lost more than 2000 soldiers in an instant, and also lost the iron ore piled up in the warehouse, which gave the Macedonians another way to attack.

They did not build a wall on the mountain path, but only deployed a few soldiers there to guard it. Now that the Macedonians may attack from the mountain path at any time, the chiefs had to transfer some soldiers from the city wall to the back mountain.

Looking at the chiefs quarreling below, the Druid of the Bretts couldn't help but sighed. The war with the Macedonians was at a disadvantage. These chiefs didn't work together, and they almost fought because of some differences. It was hard for him to imagine what the future of this tribe and this city would be—destruction?Or become a slave.

bang bang bang-

"Stop arguing!"

The archdruid slammed on the floor and shouted in that angry voice. The old priest glanced at every quiet chief with his muddy eyes, and said slowly: "Bradley abandoned his subordinates without permission. , causing the mine to fall into the hands of the enemy, let him be captured as a blood sacrifice to the god of war Adlibek."

"No!" Bradley shouted loudly. He rushed to the archdruid, but was stopped by the guards. "Master Druid, I am willing to lead my tribe to retake the mine and make atonement!"

"Oh?" The archdruid glanced at him without any emotion in his eyes, "What if you don't take back the mine?"

"If I don't take back the mines, I'll die at the hands of the Macedonians!"

Bradley went all out, slammed his head heavily on the ground, and said in a trembling voice.

"Okay." The arch druid nodded, leaning on his scepter, he walked up to Bradley, lightly tapped on the latter's shoulder, and said coldly, "I hope you can do what you say. "

"Go ahead."

"Yes, yes..." Bradley, who had narrowly escaped death, stood up quickly, and scrambled out of the chief's hall. He regretted very much why he didn't fight to the death in the mine, which also avoided being so humiliated .

Hearing the undisguised laughter behind him, Bradley felt extremely resentful.

Back to his tribe, Bradley became more and more angry. He thought that anyway, leading the tribe to counterattack the mine would not be able to defeat the Macedonians, and he would die in vain. Why didn't he just take the tribe and join the Macedonians?He had heard about the treatment of those tribes who had defected to the Macedonians, and he was not oppressed as he imagined, but the treatment was not bad.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he should abandon the dark and turn to the bright, so he called his cronies and shared his thoughts with them. After learning about the treatment the chief suffered in the parliament, the cronies were furious and willing to follow the chief to join the Macedonians. .In this era, there is no so-called national concept, so there is no psychological pressure for them to betray their own race and seek refuge with a stronger one.

Seeing that his cronies were supporting him, Bradley made up his mind. While asking the tribesmen to tidy up and pretend to attack the mine, he asked his cronies to pretend to be scouts to explore the military situation and walk through the mountain roads to contact the Macedonians.

Because the Council of Chiefs had already said hello, the people around just thought that Bradley's tribe was going to "recover the lost ground", and they didn't think about their surrender to the enemy, and all looked at them with pity. Watch this poor tribe go to a dead end.

If Bradley is not prepared to surrender, this is indeed a death mission, because most of the soldiers in his tribe died in the mine stronghold, even if all the fallen people were pressed up, it would be useless.

……

On the other side, Cronus's people quickly saw the cronies sent by Bradley to beg for surrender. After learning of the other party's intention, the soldiers dared not be careless and brought him directly to Cronus.With the help of an interpreter, Kronos completed some exchanges with the Britts, but after the exchange, the military consul did not dare to fully trust the other party. In his eyes, the barbarians were very cunning, so he first Send someone to report this to Antigonus.

Compared to Kronos' prudence, Antigonus directly agreed to the Bradley tribe's surrender after thinking for a while, but he made a request that Bradley must hand over a group of hostages to The Macedonians, and cooperated with the Macedonians to attack Great Rum from the mountain pass.

Under the will to survive, Bradley agreed to this request. He promised to hand over the children, women and children in the tribe as hostages, and was willing to obey the command of the Macedonians to fight.Although Kronos still had doubts, he still chose to believe in the Britt tribe who surrendered. Of course, he also took corresponding precautions to prevent the barbarians from resorting to false surrender.

On October 10, the Bradley tribe walked out of the temporary checkpoint under the sympathetic eyes of the soldiers guarding the mountain road, and walked towards the mine stronghold. Bradley did not walk in the front of the team, he stood on the mountain road Beside him, leaning against a tree, he looked at the tribal fighters behind the temporary checkpoint with hateful eyes, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must make them pay the price.
