I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 140 Returning to Pella
Until the end, the investigation team couldn't find anything, and in the end they could only make a hasty conclusion, thinking that the "Crescent Moon" mercenary group sneaked into the city and raided their manor for the Hobbs family's money, and killed the people inside. All of them were killed and all their belongings were robbed. Finally, they broke into the port area and snatched a few ships anchored on the shore and fled into the sea.

After reaching this conclusion, the National Assembly of the Merchant Republic of Filon immediately issued a warrant for the "Crescent Moon" mercenary group and its leader Baldiris. The National Assembly directly offered a reward of 15 silver coins in order to bring the so-called culprit to justice Although the members of the aristocratic faction were somewhat dissatisfied with this sloppy result, they couldn't find the real culprit, so they had no choice but to accept it.

No one knows that after the arrest warrant was issued, a new profession quickly emerged in the Aegean Sea and the Gilis Sea—the bounty hunter. Countless people who were eager for the 15 bounty threw themselves into the vast sea, trying to find Baldiris and the crescent moon mercenary group, but no matter how hard they searched, it was in vain, because Baldiris and his men had returned to Pella with Antigonus, and lived in the royal barracks in the city.

Being able to return safely, the fellow cavalrymen who went out with Angnis almost cried with joy. Antigonus and Helen were also in a much better mood. Of course, Antigonus was in a good mood for another reason, that is, they came from Hob. A whole warehouse of silver coins was looted from Si Manor!
After calculation, they robbed a total of 10,000 silver coins, in addition to many luxury items, and converting those luxury items into at least another [-] to [-] silver coins. If you take out the silver coins, you can earn [-]+ silver coins in this trip.

The money came so quickly that Antigonus had the urge to directly send people to rob the dignitaries of other countries.

Of course, this can only be thought about. There is no reason not to wet your shoes when you often walk by the river. If this kind of thing is done too much, it is very likely to show your feet, and finally make his Macedonian Kingdom a public enemy of all countries.

……

Because Helen was quite frightened during this trip, Antigonus personally sent her back home after returning to Pella City, and briefly told the raiser Senonides and the Inspector Sipar Cos narrated what he had experienced abroad. When they learned that Helen was forcibly taken away, they all showed panic. Despite the identity gap between them, he still forcibly swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Antigonus also knew that he was too careless that time. He knew that the people of the Hobbes family were secretly watching him, but he was relieved that Troibos went back to pick them up alone, so much so that he even let this loyal guard Lose your life.

Thinking of Troy Persia, Antigonus couldn't help but feel guilty. After he left the manor of Senonides, he went to the home of Troy Persia without stopping. Troy Persia was born in a small noble family in the city of Pella. When Antigonus When Ke came to his house, the grief on his parents' faces was obvious, but they still saluted Antigon reluctantly.Antigonus noticed that Troipos was the eldest son of the family, and under him there was only a younger brother who was only eight years old and a younger sister who was five years old.

Antigonus couldn't face the eyes of his grief-stricken parents, he fled in a hurry after taking him for a while—maybe it shouldn't be used to describe such a powerful monarch, but he did.Although many Macedonians followed his command and died on the battlefield against the barbarians before this, Troy Persia was an exception. He did not die gloriously on the battlefield, but died aggrieved at the hands of street gangsters. It fell into the muddy sewage, all because of Antigonus' negligence.

More importantly, Troipos was one of the 150 cavalry companions who had been loyal to Antigonus since he traveled to this world. When fighting the enemy, Antigonus could often be seen wearing Greek armor The Troy Persian rode forward bravely on a steed, fighting for the king and glory. When he lifted the white cloth covering his body, he could still see various wounds covering his body, which were medals symbolizing honor.

After returning to the Virgina Palace, Antigonus asked Eucrates, the clerk who replaced Agnes as his deputy temporarily, to prepare for something, something that Antigonus had thought about for a long time but never implemented—

That is to take in all the orphans of the soldiers who died in the war and raise them in a unified manner by the state. The orphans who are taken in will receive the support of the state since they were young. If it is an army, it will also allow the royal family to have a new army that will always be loyal.

This is a routine in most of the time-travel novels that Antico read in his previous life. When he read it, he thought it was a very old-fashioned policy, but it is quite appropriate to replace it in reality. It can solve his guilt that has nowhere to rest. , It can also provide reserves for the country's high-quality soldiers decades later.Just imagine, after a group of teenagers who have been raised by the country and undergo military training join the army, they will have higher fighting will and combat effectiveness than ordinary army soldiers, because they have dedicated their loyalty to the royal family that raised them, and they are loyal to the king. rather than anyone.

Of course, Antigonus will also give a pension to the widows of soldiers who died in battle every year until they get rid of poverty and have the ability to live independently.

……

After dealing with all this, Antigonus thought of Baldiris and his mercenary group who stayed in the royal barracks to avoid the limelight. He thought about it, the eastern part of the kingdom is densely populated, and they might be exposed if they continue to stay here. At that time, it would bring him endless troubles, and the western part of the kingdom was full of barbarian tribes, and few people would go there except Macedonian businessmen. That was the best destination for this group of mercenaries.

Therefore, Antigonus reorganized Baldiris and his mercenary group into the city defense army of Usmopolis, and asked them to pack their bags and go to the remote west.Although Baldiris didn't want to go to the remote west where supplies are scarce, he also knew what his current situation was, so he had no choice but to accept Antigon's arrangement, but Antigon also comforted him, waiting for the immigrants who were rewarded by the system After the tide comes, he will definitely let a group of immigrants move to Usmpolis to live and develop the west.

On the huge Ogre Peninsula, the actual area ruled by the Macedonian Kingdom was actually not large. Most of it was still occupied by barbarian tribes who nominally submitted to Macedonia. If Antigonus wanted to expand the actual area ruled, it would have to bring more immigrants. Send them out and let them get a foothold on the land, build towns, clear farmland
