Speaking with what is easy to prove with facts is superfluous.

- Aesop (Greek fabler, Phrygian)

Since the Sulla and Pompey families officially broke away from the Brutus, the two families began to occupy the Paionia and Macedonian regions; With the strength of their respective families, it was naturally not difficult to recruit nearly 100,000 ordinary people on the territory of the Brutus Empire to follow them to Paionia and Macedonia.

Although 200,000 people is not a small number, the Brutus Empire will not have the slightest embarrassment for the Sulla and Pompey families in this matter; After all, the Sulla family and the Pompey family were not empty gloves white wolves who took 200,000 people from the territory of the Brutus Empire, and the price they paid for this made Tiberius feel satisfied, and the two sides naturally cooperated happily.

The regions of Paionia and Macedonia had long since become sparsely populated and devastated places of death after the plague ravaged them; For the Sulla and Pompey families to develop in these two regions, they must have enough population to revitalize these two regions, which is why Sulla and Pompey were willing to pay a huge price to recruit 200,000 people from the Brutus Empire.

According to the surveys of the Sulla and Pompey families in the Paionia and Macedonia regions, the total population of these two regions will definitely not exceed 50,000 now, and with a population of 50,000, can the Peonia and Macedonia regions be developed?

This is tantamount to a dream, and the population of 50,000 cannot even develop Cessalonica, the former capital of Macedonia, let alone the entire Peonia region and Macedonia; Besides, the Sulla family and the Pompey family are just a cooperative relationship, and it is only a matter of time before the two sides part ways, and who will help the other party wholeheartedly?

In fact, the parting of the ways of the two families had already begun when they marched towards the regions of Paionia and Macedonia with all their human assets and a hundred thousand migrants; After leaving the border areas of the Brutus Empire, the Sulla would take everything they had to Paionia, while the Pompeys would go to Macedonia.

From this time of separation, the close alliance between the Sulla and Pompey families came to an end; Even if the two families continue to help each other in the future development and actively cooperate, it is impossible to return to the previous intimacy.

Moreover, although the regions of Peonia and Macedonia were devastated by the plague, the populations of these two regions were not exterminated; The few survivors who have experienced the cruel and relentless plague have also lost their source of livelihood and hope of survival.

In the years following the outbreak of the plague, the plague in Paionia and Macedonia finally disappeared completely, and the trading caravans between the Brutus Empire and the Dacian barbarians naturally increased; The survivors of these two regions turned into ferocious bandits, who recklessly plundered the caravans in order to obtain enough supplies to sustain them.

If the Sulla and Pompey families want to succeed in taking control of the Paionia and Macedonia, they will naturally have to deal with the problem of these murderous bandits; The four legions that originally belonged to the Sulla family and the Pompey family, Sulla and Pompey had all been handed over to the Brutus Empire before they officially broke away from the Brutus Empire, and they had to reorganize their armies in order to deal with the bandits.

Fortunately, the Brutus Empire still had a good cooperative relationship with the Sulla family and the Pompey family, and Tiberius also generously provided the Sulla family and the Pompey family with weapons and equipment for 10,000 people free of charge; Sulla and Pompey used these weapons and equipment to recruit 8,000 men out of a population of 200,000 to serve as escorts for both families.

Each family of these 8,000 troops has half of it, plus the 1,000 elite guards taken out by their respective families, which is exactly enough for two armies of 5,000 people; As for the generals who commanded the two armies, they were naturally the generals of the Sulla family and the Pompey family.

When the Sulla and Pompey families broke away from the Brutus Empire, they only handed over four legions that nominally belonged to the two families to the Brutus Empire; For the commanders of these four legions, the Sulla family and the Pompey family will not give the generals that their families have worked so hard to train to the Brutus Empire.

With these four generals in command, the armies of the Sulla and Pompey families were very rapid in terms of forming combat effectiveness; Half a month before the Sulla family and the Pompey family officially entered the Paionia region and Macedonia, Otis and Gabriel led 5,000 soldiers of the Sulla family into the Paionia region and began to encircle and suppress the entrenched bandits.

Compared with the mountainous Paionia region of the Sulla family, the Macedonian region that the Pompey family was about to rule was dominated by plains; In this way, the Pompey army, led by Amos and Nelson, was much easier to exterminate the bandits.

Whether it was easy or difficult to exterminate the bandits, how could the patchwork of the Paionian and Macedonian bandits be the opponents of the carefully assembled armies of the Sulla and Pompey families? Half a month later, the armies of the two families had exterminated all the bandits in the Paionia and Macedonia regions, and the captured robbers had joined their army.

After that, Sulla and Pompey led everything in their respective families to Belasora and Sesaloniki, respectively; Once the two families had taken full control of the Paionian and Macedonian regions, they began to use their families' deep pockets to develop their areas and trade with the Brutus Empire on a large scale.

With the relationship between the Sulla and Pompey families and the Brutus Empire, the trade between them increased from thousands of gold coins in the first month to no less than 50,000 gold coins per month in just a few months; The Brutus Empire's various resources were continuously transported to the Paionia region and Macedonia, and the Sulla and Pompey families also quickly became powerful.

The former powerful Macedonian kingdom was destroyed by the invasion of the Thracian barbarians, and after the Sulla and Pompey families took control of the Paionian and Macedonian regions, they naturally had to guard against the Thracian barbarian tribes that were immediately connected to these two regions.

It's good that this is not guarded, but the Sulla family and the Pompey family are taken aback; It turned out that the Thracian barbarian tribes of the Tyres and Byzantine tribes had also been devastated by the plague a few years earlier, and the Thracian region previously occupied by the Tyrannic tribes and the Proptonis region occupied by the Byzantine tribes had also become real places of death.

This news is really good news for the Sulla and Pompey families, the powerful Dacian barbarians are far away from the Paionia region and the Macedonian region, and the Thracian barbarians adjacent to the Paionia region and the Macedonian region have been ravaged by the plague and become a place of death, the Sulla family and the Pompey family can be regarded as a stable external development environment.

In this way, after two years of development, the whole region of Paionia and Macedonia finally began to flourish, and the armies of the Sulla family and the Pompey family also expanded to a certain scale; At this time, the Sulla family and the Pompey family naturally shifted their attention to the unowned Thracian and Propontes regions.

The present regions of Thrace and Proptonis were no longer territories under the rule of Thracian barbarians, but two terra nullius with extremely sparse populations; After careful consultations between the Sulla and Pompey families, it was finally decided to occupy the two regions.

Even if these two regions could not help the Sulla and Pompey families in terms of population, the rich resources of the Thracian and Propontes regions could promote the development of the Sulla and Pompey families; In addition, the Sulla and Pompey families could still migrate some of the population from the Brutus Empire in a trading way, and it was not difficult to develop these two regions.

After all, the Sulla family and the Pompey family have a successful experience in the successful development of the Paionia and Macedonian regions, and if they want to develop the Thrace and Proptantis regions, they only need to develop according to their previous successful experience.

However, after the Sulla family occupied the Thracian region, which had originally belonged to the Thracian barbarians, the Sulla family was territorially adjacent to the Catalan tribe, the last tribe of the Thracian barbarians; In order to prevent the Sulla family from repeating the mistakes of the Macedonian kingdom, the Sulla family expanded their army to the size of two legions of 20,000 men, and all of them were stationed in the border area with the Thracian barbarians.

After the Pompeys conquered Propontis, they were separated from the Pontic region of Pontic by only one strait; Compared to the Pompey family, which has less than one legion, the Pontus Kingdom has a full 40,000 elite troops stationed in the Bithynia region!

More importantly, the Sulla and Pompey families had learned that the Brutus Empire had allied with the Seleucid Empire and was about to launch an attack on Alexander's kingdom; This means that the Brutus Empire will soon become the enemy of the Kingdom Alliance on the Eastern Continent, and the city gate will be on fire and the pond fish will be affected, and the Pompey family will have no choice but to hurry up the time to expand their armaments.

It's not that the Pompey family is too worried, but with the relationship between the Pompey family and the Brutus Empire, if the Brutus Empire is defeated by the Eastern Continent, the Kingdom Alliance on the Eastern Continent will definitely take the lead in attacking the Propontes region during the counterattack; In order to prevent the Propontes region from being powerless, the Pompey family could only expand their family's army to two legions as much as possible.
