The accession of a new king to the throne brought a new vibe to Macedonia. And the Macedonian kingdom he inherited had reached a new stage of its heyday.

The rolling border includes countless mountains, rivers, and in some places is bounded by straits. For example, the Hellespont Strait is the cultural dividing line between East and West. The Kingdom of Macedonia is one of the largest factions in the Western world today.

After Antigones changed its policy, Macedonia's land area swelled dramatically a hundredfold. At first, the intention was only to annex Greece and stabilize the northern border with Thrace and Dacia. The situation took a turn for the worse when the Roman League launched a full-scale attack, the Thracians also attacked, and the Scythians intervened, reacting defensively against Dacia. They are broken and drawn into a war to the death.

Macedonia was besieged for a time, but King Antigone was undaunted. He personally went into battle, and with the assistance of Gelas, Oonos, Damasos, Aloyos and others, the Macedonian army fought the invading enemy one by one, and finally defeated the total annihilation of the enemy.

The Macedonian kingdom continued to fight for years, but the accumulation of wealth increased dramatically. The reason for this is that Antigone knows how to run a war economy that feeds war by war.

For example, looting local wealth after breaking a city; Through partial trade agreements, all kinds of goods from the conquered areas around the kingdom flowed to the heart of the kingdom, making Macedonia proper; There are also those local forces who surrender voluntarily and regularly pay tribute to gold or precious items according to the agreement.

The present kingdom of Macedonia encompasses the south-central part of the former Roman mainland, all of Thrace, part of Dacia, the whole of Scythia, and the whole of Greece proper. The enlarged kingdom has a stronger economy, war, and overall strength.

On the western front, the Julius family basically gave up the initiative to attack, they left two and a half regiments as defense, and the main force was transferred to the north to fight the Gauls to the death. Macedonia in the south is very solid. Sicily also formed a flanking attack on the enemy.

On the northern front, Oonos and Abrias's uncle and nephew teamed up to attack, and the effect was remarkable. They attacked the city all the way, completely decomposing Dacia's ability to resist. Then, as long as they reached their intended destination, it would mean the end of the war against Dacia.

The Eastern Front was the first to complete the task, from the victory of the attack on Thrace, all the way to the east, and later the complete destruction of Scythia and the end of the war.

The Eastern Expeditionary Regiment, led by Zoir Ross Echinus, was only mediocre in terms of equipment compared to the other major legions. The social environment and natural ecological environment in which they marched and fought were the worst, but they were the first to complete the task. To his praise, Oonnos later mentioned Echinus, and Garas gave him and his men a great reward.

Fruitful results were achieved on all fronts, and the war was nearing its end. The peaceful, prosperous, and prosperous kingdom of Macedonia was in front of Gelas. He looked proud, free and easy. Now, at the age of 44, he is at the peak of his energy and intellect, and he is enjoying life with all his heart.

Gueras largely follows the Antigone era in terms of state policy and law. However, on the external side, he wants to make changes.

Gelas's idea was that after years of war, Macedonia's domestic economy and autonomous agriculture had indeed been weakened to a certain extent. After all, the increase in wealth brought by other sources will not last long, and Macedonia must restore its full economic capacity.

However, this requires a series of economic system reforms, because the business model that has been formed over the years, which is mainly based on the war economy, must be changed into a development model, and this will also require measures and processes.

In addition, the main force is outside all the year round, and the bandits and robbers are arrogant and wantonly invade the economic benefits of the region. These outlaws are doing despicable deeds for money and murder. The rebels brazenly rallied their crowds to oppose the government, and even occasionally attacked army supply lines.

Garras had endured them for a long time, and he would personally lead the Forbidden Army in the capital to sweep away the thieves in the surrounding area, but the King's Praetorian Guard could not leave the capital for a long time, so it was far from strong. He needed a complete clearance and execution, and he would do it.

The economic reforms planned by Gueras received only a positive response from a part of the population.

Others, who are not in a position to speak, will go on and on complaining about all sorts of reasons why a truce should not be held now. These people are:

Those who made their fortunes in the war, of course, did not want a truce. Arms manufacturing, military grain procurement and transportation, shipping fleets, and so on are very powerful.

There were also the generals of the front, (except for the northern front), who heard that the advance was going to be stopped, and built fortifications on it. They said they could not understand it, and repeatedly begged the king to delay it for a while. With your current strength, you can push the kingdom's borders even further.

Garas was a little swaying again, and he decided to call his second brother back and listen to Oonos's opinion.

Oonos was in the middle of an offensive battle on the northern front when he suddenly received a letter from his eldest brother, asking him to return to the country to discuss politics.

He had probably guessed what was going on, because the first two letters had touched on the subject.

Oonus was sure of the current situation on the northern front, where the resistance was weak. He knew that without himself, the Seventh Legion could have completed the conquest of Dacia as well.

To be on the safe side, he split the Seventh Army into two regiments, the first of which was handed over to his old subordinate Bolon; The other team was given to his more important new general, Artemios. The two of them work with each other to reinforce each other, so that nothing goes wrong.

As soon as Oonos was deployed, he returned to Thessaloniki, the capital, with his cavalry.

Soon the brothers met, and they met directly and informally in the Imperial Garden. Garas was so happy that he hugged his brother tightly, looked and looked, and then hugged him tighter. Oonos also obediently obeyed his brother's fiddling. When he was a child, he was allowed to fiddle with his brother because he was tall and strong. And now the eldest brother is the king. At last the boss let go, and Oonos leaned down and bowed:

"See Your Majesty, long live my King!"

Gueras hurriedly helped him up:

"In the future, my brothers will be exempted from this etiquette. Besides, if I am crowned king, you will be a prince. ”

He continued: "The second brother has been fighting on the front line for many years, and the battlefield is full of dangers.

Let the widow worry in every way. Now I see you come back whole, and the widow is very happy. ”

"Brother Wang is still worried, I'm not good, it's just stronger."

"I heard that you are making progress on the front line, and you will be able to take Dacia in a few days. The widow is going to consult with you, and he will call you back. ”

"Brother Wang has anything to do, just dispatch his younger brother, and he will do his best to solve his worries and problems. I don't know what my brother said? ”

"All fronts are nearing the end, and the war is over. The meaning of the widow is that now you should not rush forward and go further.

First, we need to recuperate, to give the people and the kingdom a respite.

The second reason is that you can read the report that I sent someone down to collect. Now the state of the domestic economy is problematic.

Tell me what you think? ”

Oonos took a quick look at the information that Guerras had given him.

At first, the general considered that with the current Macedonian army, it was a good opportunity to continue to expand.

Therefore, His Majesty sent two letters, but the last general did not give a clear position. ”

Gueras was slightly depressed.

"But the last general is not talented, and he does not have the kind of thinking that His Majesty thinks about the overall situation.

I have just listened to your teachings, and I now have a deeper understanding. I feel that the Kingdom of Macedonia really needs a break. ”
