I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 147 Divide
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Pope Ilitekla of Matthaeus stayed in Lislen for two or three days and then returned to his territory with the mission. During these few days of contact, the two reached a lot. A proposal for consensus and friendly development.

In order to ensure that there will be no tension between the two sides due to border disputes (in this world, border disputes are the reason why many countries are at odds with each other), they jointly decided to leave a buffer zone at the junction of the two sides, and Ilite Klaben wanted the Gillis Federation to occupy it. The buffer zone became a buffer zone, but Antigonus believed that a new country should be supported in the zone and a tripartite alliance should be formed, so that the buffer zone could also try to avoid the fate of becoming a battlefield between two countries.

After listening to Antigonus' explanation, Ilitekla accepted the proposal, and then agreed to send troops together in mid-June a month later to "liberate" the people of Nuu County, which was designated as a buffer zone.

In addition, the two sides also determined their respective future expansion directions. Because of his powerful army and national power, Antigonus was able to obtain the most prosperous coast of the Gilis Sea to the eastern region bordering the Kingdom of Lagonia, while Ilitekla obtained The central and western regions where most of the soldiers in his army were located, although the latter gained more in terms of land size, but in terms of wealth value, Antigonus undoubtedly occupied almost all of them.

Of course, because the eastern region is prosperous and has a large population, the resistance here will be the greatest. If Antigonus wants to annex the entire eastern part of Gilis, he can only rely on his victorious elite army to confront the federal army of Gilis. Carrying it on - In an emergency, the Gilis people might simply give up fighting the Matthaeus rebels and assemble the main force to attack the Macedonian army.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Ilitekla is willing to give up the most attractive eastern region to Antigonus. He knows the quality of the army under his command very well. Let him face the main force of the federal army, and he will be beaten to pieces in just one face-to-face.

……

After Ilitekla left, Antico ordered the return of Tirgetai Prince White and his [-] tribal troops who were fighting on the front line, and asked them to prepare for the attack on Nuu County. Ke also asked the First Army and the Thebes army to continue to advance before the Gilis Federation army returned to help. The Royal Navy stationed in Rislon will also dispatch to compete for sea control to ensure that the Gilis people cannot escape by boat.

Antigonus enjoyed the welfare of the Gillis fleeing to his own country during the war, but he didn't want other countries to enjoy this kind of welfare. Not only did he not want others to enjoy it, but he also asked the navy to stop those rich people who fled , Confiscation of family property.

At the same time that Antico issued the order, the order from the Gillis Federation Council was finally delivered to the frontline general. The veteran, who was over fifty years old, silently looked at the order to abandon the border and return immediately for reinforcements, and did not speak for a long time.Countless Gillis soldiers have fallen on the border between the two countries. They all fought to protect the country, but now that the orders of the Parliament have been issued, their deaths have become meaningless.

Although he was unwilling, General Gillis obeyed the order of the parliament and issued an order to the entire army to withdraw to the country.The soldiers were a little puzzled by this sudden order, but they didn't have much resistance. Instead, they kept a welcoming attitude. The emergency military situation sent up from the rear made them very worried about their hometown. Now they can finally go back to support them. Desirable.

Therefore, in the next few days, the scouts of the Principality of Harlan were surprised to find that the Gillis army who was in a stalemate with them on the opposite side began to pack up the camp, and loaded the large and small bags into the carriage. Leaving, many barracks have been demolished, leaving a litter of unwanted rubbish.

The Gillies army has begun to withdraw.

After the news was brought back to the camp by the scouts, the soldiers of the Harlan Principality all cheered as if they had won victory. They all asked the general to issue an attack order and pursue the victory to prevent the mortal enemy Gilis from retreating safely. Although the general himself was cautiously worried that this might be However, he could not bear the pleas of his officers and soldiers, so he ordered the pursuit.By the time the Harun Principality army arrived at the Gilis camp, the once huge camp had been emptied, leaving only garbage on the ground and some residents from nearby villages trying to pick it up. When they saw the Harun people coming, they were frightened and hurriedly Turn around and run away.

How could the soldiers of Harun's army let them run away? These energetic soldiers chased after them in large strides. In a few steps, they knocked down a civilian who was lagging behind and turned him to the general. General Nicol briefly asked what the civilians thought. Knowing the situation, he ordered him to be released.How could a civilian who came to pick up leaks know valuable information? They came here after hearing about the withdrawal of the Gillis army and wondering if they could try their luck to find valuable things that the army did not take away. His only What is known is that the Gillis army did not withdraw to the nearest city and march directly to the east along the road.

Hearing what the civilians said, although Harun's commander Nicole didn't believe everything, he still led the army and chased them along the road where the Gillies retreated. They didn't see any trace of the Gillies army until the next morning. Only then did he believe what the civilian said, sent someone to report to the country, and formally occupied the entire border area.

The news that the main border forces had withdrawn into the country and caused the territory to fall quickly spread throughout most of the Gilis Federation. Antico was really surprised by the decisiveness of the Federal Parliament to abandon the border in order to protect the capital area. In his impression, the execution efficiency of the federal republic was Generally it will be very low, because the various parties in the parliament are not united and will blame each other or attack each other, so that many policies cannot be passed, such as such a major event that abandons the country, it is even impossible to pass, but in reality Indeed, it is incredible.

Despite the accident, Antigonus still did not let the First Army and the Theban army stop attacking. He asked the clerical administrator and the military consul Cronus to stay in Lislon, and then led the guards to the front line in person.The battle with the main force of the Gillis Federation will definitely not be easy. To be on the safe side, Antigonus will take charge personally and rely on the buffs from the king's personal conquests to inspire the fighting spirit and morale of the soldiers.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons. The more reason is that Antigonus is unwilling to stay behind and wait for the battle report from the front line. This makes him feel uncomfortable that he cannot grasp the overall situation. He prefers to lead the army to charge into the battle and enjoy the victory with his own hands. pleasure.
