258 B.C., winter.

King Antigone of Macedon died at the age of 61. This news spread far and wide, causing mixed repercussions within the territorial boundaries of the Kingdom of Macedonia.

In those remote newly conquered areas, some people are ready to move again; In the native kingdom of Macedonia, the original inhabitants felt very sorry and missed King Antigone very much.

In the barracks outside the city of Rome, most of the soldiers wept and wept as their king, the master of the battlefield who personally led them into battle, gave them wealth, and gave them glory, bid them farewell. All the soldiers unanimously knelt on one knee facing north and gave the king a final salute! Then they collectively petitioned General Aloyos, hoping that every soldier would have a look at the old king's body. Aloyos began to disagree, as there was also a need to consider the preservation of the remains.

But the soldier stubbornly knelt down and pleaded with the general. Aloyos looked at his brothers who were fighting to the death, and he couldn't bear it.

"This is my king and their king."

He turned around and said:

"Okay!

But there are conditions! ”

The representatives of the army kowtowed repeatedly, "Bang bang."

"Zhong Aiqing, hurry up.

Remember, none of you can stay too long, I'll arrange that when the time comes. You can only look at them in a single formation, and you must not cross the prescribed white line. ”

"Yes."

"And! The single column must not stop while marching. Anyone who disturbs the order will be severely punished and executed on the spot! ”

"Yes! We swear that we will not disrupt the order of the venue. ”

"Ducarus, you do this! Gives you tokens.

Pass my order: Mobilize the commandos of my Roman regiment to cooperate with the Janissaries and maintain order at the venue.

The order of the venue was as important as the safety of the king during his lifetime! But if there is any abnormal action, regardless of the situation, go up and kill! ”

"Yes! Please rest assured, big brother! Resolutely complete the mission! ”

Some time ago, the king personally held a coming-of-age ceremony for the 16-year-old Ducarros, giving him a seven-mouth sword with a silver sheath. Ducarus was a teenager, he missed his grandfather and was a little depressed. Aloyos deliberately gave him the task to motivate him.

Antigone was once a benevolent king, and his policies were always taken into account by the majority of the people, and his philosophy was that the people were rich and the country strong. At the same time, he was also a martial king, which shows the magnanimity and talent of Antigones's martial arts.

He was the king of the Later Macedonian kingdom and was called the "King of Victory" by the army and later the "King of Rome".

Damasos and Aloyos co-organized the state funeral in Rome, which was attended by many Romans who came to see off the king. Of course, some of them volunteered or wanted to see the excitement, and some were driven into the streets to complete the task.

Aloyos was very sad, and the scene of the old king dying was still vivid.

He saw in his eyes the expectation that he would inherit the kingdom and lead her to continue to be strong.

On the day of the king's death, Aloyos wept sadly for a long time. On weekdays, the soldiers around him have only seen the stern and radical side of Aloyos, and at this time, the phrase "men don't flick when they have tears" is useless. They also accompanied the general in their sadness.

Sylphine and Venus tried their best to comfort their husbands, while Podare Rios was too young to watch from the sidelines.

Look at his smart and flashing eyes, as sharp as eagle eyes! 's arrogant temperament is quite suitable for his family fate as an emperor and general.

Looking at his impatient appearance, he must be thinking:

"Isn't the usually heroic dad the strongest man? Crying......

Podare Rios may not understand it now, his ancestors were laying the foundation for him with blood and tears. And his great-grandfather spent ten years of perseverance in eating and sleeping in the open, shedding blood and tears, and shedding skin and bones, exhausting the fire of life and creating the prototype of the post-Macedonian empire for him.

This little boy, Poda Rios! will be the first emperor of the post-Macedonian Empire!

Aloyos is a man who can control himself, and he knows that he can't be weak now. When the king was there, it was like a towering tree that covered him, and now that the burden on him was heavier, he might have to carry all the things of the Western Front alone.

The funeral took place over three days, and the body of Antigone was transported back to Thessaloniki in Macedonia by the magician, where it was buried in the royal cemetery. Revert to one 's origin. Damasos accompanied the queen on his journey, and he was to escort the king's coffin back to Macedonia.

Although the royal family has lost an important member, the kingdom cannot be left without a king for a day. As the eldest son, Garas, he undoubtedly became the only legitimate heir to the throne of priority. In their order, there are also Oonos and Damasos who have the right to the throne, and in order to succeed are their direct descendants.

Long before Antigones set out on his first expedition, the affairs of the heir had been arranged. He deliberately cultivated Gueras's ability to govern and let him put it into practice.

Now for Gueras to be this king, he is fully qualified and capable of doing it. Gueras is literate, dignified, generous and kind, which also determines that his character is a bit fragile. He sometimes seems not so determined, thinks too much about others, and instead creates constraints.

The news of the king's death was quickly reported to Gueras and he was asked to succeed him as king of Macedonia. It was morning, and everyone was in the court hall.

When Garras heard the news, he wept aloud. While crying, he cried:

"I haven't seen Your Majesty for many days, and I miss it very much. Recently, my heart is beating for some reason. I can't think of today......

When he died, I didn't even die by my father's side, I'm ashamed! ”

After speaking, he beat his chest, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and said good words to persuade him. The Manchu officials were also moved by Guerras's loyalty, and wept one after another.

An emotionally stable minister came forward to speak:

"The regent, the first king of the first dynasty, the name of the first king, the martial arts. His departure grieved the whole country of Macedonia. But the kingdom shall not be without a king for a day.

Now the flames of war are still raging on all sides, and those foreigners who have been recovered or taken refuge still have different intentions.

At this critical moment, I also asked the regent to take care of his body, think more about the country, and choose a good day and an auspicious day to ascend the throne as soon as possible. ”

"That's what the minister also means."

"Ask the regent to succeed you as king."

......

The voices of persuasion are endless. The imperial court has been carefully adjusted, and the inappropriate ones have been replaced one after another. Most of them were people from Guerras or had taken refuge.

Feeling the heavy responsibility on his shoulders at this moment, Garras quickly packed up his appearance and sat down.

"If the second brother Oonos is here, I will definitely elect him king of Macedonia. The second brother is above me, and he will definitely be able to manage the kingdom well. What can I do?

But now he was fighting far away in Dacia. ”

"The Lord Regent is too humble, the king has appointed you as the first heir, and I believe that his old man's choice is his own wisdom. Please also ask the regent not to push it again. ”

Seeing that everyone was in agreement, Garras nodded, and said:

"The situation in the kingdom is complicated today, and the widows obey the will of the previous kings and follow the love of the people. In the future, there will be more virtuous people, and they will bow down to Zen. ”

"Meet Your Majesty, long live my King!"

"Flat."

"King Xie."

On a sunny day, Gueras ascended the throne as king of the Macedonian kingdom. Standing on the second-floor balcony of the consul's residence, he was officially proclaimed king of the Macedonians.

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the main square and in the nearby streets. They wanted to see the new king with their own eyes. Gueras calmly gave a speech. He mentioned that he will insist on bringing the advanced civilization, knowledge and technology of the Greek world to all parts of the world, bringing light, freedom and love to people. The audience applauded and cheered wildly, after all, it was the new king, it was very fresh, and the ceremony entered the climax.

As is customary, Gueras granted amnesty, and immediately informed the princes that he had succeeded the king.
