I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 127 Lord of the Ograre Peninsula
The sudden defeat stunned the tribal troops who had just left the camp. They looked at the Tirgetai horse archers showing off their might not far away, weighed the pros and cons of continuing to attack, and finally gained the upper hand from their hearts. They immediately ordered the army to retreat—they didn't retreat to the camp, but went around the camp and went back to their homes.

They saw it very clearly. Withdrawing to the camp was the result of being wiped out by the Macedonian army with great victories. They might as well take this opportunity to flee back to their own tribe to rectify and reorganize. It seems that they are looking for a way to move to other places to avoid the Macedonians. forces, or directly surrendered to the Macedonians.

The chiefs staying in the camp looked desperately at the broken soldiers all over the mountains and plains. They looked at the thin and low wooden fence and at the tribal fighters in the camp who were dispirited. They knew that they could not resist the Macedonian attack. Yes, so they made a joint decision-surrender to the Macedonians who were chasing here.

……

In the Battle of Sega, the Macedonian army won the war with the death of more than [-] people. They captured tens of thousands of western barbarian coalition soldiers, including chiefs, elders and a group of nobles from more than a dozen tribes.In this battle, the Tirgtais used their strength to prove their loyalty to the Kingdom of Macedonia. Although Antigonus still couldn't fully trust them, he was much less defensive against them.

After the Battle of Seca, the Macedonian army continued to advance westward. As they advanced, the tribes who abandoned their friendly forces and fled directly sent envoys to offer Antigonus a handful of earth and a jug of water to prove their willingness to surrender. The Lurians and Ustians also sent elders from their tribes to plead for peace. After Antigonus said that he would only accept submission, the Silurian elders announced on the spot that they would accept the rule of the Kingdom of Macedonia. Elder Usdia looked embarrassed and said that he would have to go back to the elders of his clan to discuss with the nobles before he could give an answer.

Antigonus knew that the Usidians would most likely not surrender, because the elders of the Silurians had set an example, so he did not believe that the elders who came to negotiate on behalf of the tribe had no power to deal with it.

Sure enough, not long after the Usdiya elders returned, news came that the Usdiya people refused to surrender. At the same time, there was information that they were loading supplies onto ships and preparing to abandon the city and go overseas.

The actions of the Usidians were also expected by Antigonus. After rejecting the overlord on the Ogrell Peninsula, there was only one way for them to keep the whole family, and that was to leave this land by boat and continue There is only one way to die if you stick to their city.But they miscalculated, because Antigonus also had a powerful fleet in his hands. If he really wanted to wipe out the Usidians, they would only flee to a very far place. was destroyed.

Kill them all?Antigonus had this idea, but he didn't want to transfer the Royal Navy from Pella Naval Port here. After the Silurians surrendered, an idea immediately popped up in his mind, that is, to be in Ogire A military port was also built on the west coast of the Er Peninsula, and sailors who were good at water were recruited from the Silurians to form a new fleet.However, this is undoubtedly a very expensive workload. It is a bit difficult for him to maintain only one fleet now. If he builds a second fleet, I am afraid that the progress of bankruptcy will be accelerated.

Especially before Angnis had retrieved the [-] silver coins deposited in the Bank of the Republic of Philon, Antigonus did not dare to carry out wasteful construction - several months had passed since Angnis set out, during which time he A messenger was sent back on a merchant ship to report the news, but the fact that he never came back still made Antigonus a little worried, so he decided to go to the Republic of Philon in person to see the situation after the war was completely over, and to make a so-called state visit by the way - he conquered On the huge Ogre Peninsula, not publicizing such a great achievement would be like walking at night in brocade.

……

Half a month later, when the Macedonian army arrived outside the city of Usmtru, the capital of Usdia, the city almost became an empty city, leaving only some old people who were too old to walk long distances and garbage everywhere. .The port, which is said to be full of ships every day, is also empty. Some ships that cannot be driven away have also been scuttled, blocking the waterway out of the port. If you want to reopen it, it will take a lot of effort.

Fortunately, the people of Usidia just emptied everything and did not damage the infrastructure here, so Antigonus directly ordered the army to station here, and renamed the city Usmpolis, becoming the Kingdom of Macedonia The capital in the west of the peninsula.

Of course, this capital could only exist as a military stronghold in the beginning. Before the immigrants migrated here, the army could only be stationed here to radiate the surrounding barbarian tribes.

Antigonus did not embarrass the trembling old barbarians who stayed behind, perhaps out of the traditional spirit of respecting the old and loving the young that still existed in his heart, he just let the old people stay at home and not wander around during the martial law period.Those old people stayed because they could not travel long distances away from their hometown, and thought they would be embarrassed or slaughtered by the Macedonians, but now it seems that the easy-going of the Macedonians exceeded their expectations and made them let go of their fear.

Antigonus turned the area near the city wall of Usmpolis into a barracks. The soldiers put down their tools and took up weapons, demolished all the buildings in that area, and built brick and earth structures on the ruins. The barracks and the walls surrounding the entire barracks.

During the week of staying in Usmpolis, all the tribes that surrendered to the Macedonian Kingdom sent envoys and the heirs of the chieftains as hostages to pay tribute. A squadron of the First Army Corps.

That's right, the squadron. Considering that these hostages were doing nothing and wasting food when they arrived in Pella, Antigonus assembled all of them into the newly-built No. [-] Guards Squadron. All of them are young and strong warriors of their own tribe, and they can also fight on top when necessary—as for using the name of Guards Squadron, it is also to let the hostages have a sense of belonging to Macedonia and their so-called "Guards" "Identity creates honor.

Let’s not talk about how useful this special guard unit will be in the future.After Antigonus stayed in Usmpolis for a week, he left and garrisoned almost all the heavy infantry, and then returned to Pella with the rest of the army.
