Groups of Roman soldiers, armed with a chain of chains, were escorted out of the city in hundreds.

Groups of Roman citizens and civilians, bound by a series of ropes, also went out of the city in hundreds.

The women and children went out of town in separate groups.

And outside the city, the Sabbatarians, with the pleasure of revenge, took a red-hot soldering iron and stamped every Roman who left the city as a slave.

The Roman man covered his forehead, and the child covered his wrist.

The women are covered with buttocks, and I believe that when the rest of the Lord overturns these women, he will have a lot more happiness because of this.

All over the city, the freed slaves watched and cheered.

In the past, how noble the Romans were, but all those who were pure Roman blood and shared the money and slaves for free, just like the Manchus of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, were supported by the state and lived a luxurious life. It stands to reason that after millions of Roman citizens, they should not be able to support them as much as the Manchus. But don't forget, Rome was in its prime, and with the exploitation of tens of millions of slaves, it was perfectly fine.

And after the arrival of the Chinese, the noblest people in the world were immediately beaten into pariahs.

The Romans became slaves, and this was the first large-scale crackdown on local tyrants in Western history. is still a local tyrant led by the Orientals.

"Long live Huaxia, long live Thor's hammer!"

Every time a group of Roman slaves were stamped and escorted away, the former slaves of all nationalities inside and outside Yerevan would erupt in such cheers.

In the midst of the cheers, the Roman slaves lowered their once proud heads, fearing and trembling in this cheer.

In June 195 AD, the alliance of Chinese princes led by Qin Feng sold 400,000 Roman slaves to the Sabbatarians. For the first time, the Romans became slaves, and this marked a sign that the pattern of the world was quietly changing. The source of change came from the Chinese expedition to Rome.

The prestige of Huaxia and the strength of the dragon heirs shocked the world at this moment.

The people who had been enslaved by Rome in the past, thanks to the liberation of China, joined the ranks of continuing to fight Rome without hesitation. This gave the existence of the Foreign Legion in the army of the alliance of princes. This to a certain extent supplemented the number of the allied armies of the princes.

In the following July, the coalition of princes began to attack Asia Minor from three directions.

Due to the total annihilation of the main Roman army in the east, the combined forces of the princes easily captured Istanbul, an important town in the northwest of Asia Minor, as well as Ankara, an important town in the north, and Antalya, an important town in the south.

The fall of the three major towns marked the capture of more than three-quarters of Asia Minor by the coalition forces of the princes, and the coalition forces were directed towards the last important seaport town, 'Ephoso'. This seaport city was also the key to the alliance of princes into the inner circle of Europe.

At the beginning of June, an army of 300,000 led by Severus landed at the 'Buddha House'.

Ephesus.

Also translated as Ephes, it was an important city-state in the ancient city of Lydia and Greece on the west coast of Asia Minor. It is located at the mouth of the Bainder River near the Aegean coast, at 37°55 north latitude and 27°19 east longitude.

In ancient times, it was the center of worship of the Great Mother of Kubler (the Anatolian goddess of the harvest) and Artemis. The Temple of Artemis is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Ephesus was the capital of the province of Asia Minor and the seat of the Roman satrapy during Roman times.

The entry of 300,000 troops into the temple of Ephosa stabilized the hearts of the fleeing Romans and turned it into a fortress of war.

The Romans who had fled Armenia and Asia Minor flocked to Ephesus and returned to their homeland by boat.

Inside the Council Hall.

Severus sat high, and below him were Octavian, Pompey, Caesar, Tiberius, Paulus, and one of the commanders of the Imperial Navy, Catullus, the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet.

Because Severus saved Octavian and the others, these people swore allegiance to Severus for the rest of their lives.

With the fall of all the important towns in Asia and the death of the governor on the front line, the news came, and Severus and others were shocked.

Another 400,000 Romans were sold into slavery to the Sabbatarians, and the Romans were furious.

The call for a counterattack on the alliance of the Chinese princes always echoed outside the council hall. The invective of the Roman citizens almost drowned out the military bigwigs like Severus. Severus wanted to kill them all on many occasions, but he did not have the right to do so in the face of Roman citizens.

The citizens of Rome shouted for a counterattack, desperately to the death. But Octavian didn't think so.

In the chamber, Severo solicited the views of all parties.

Octavian made his suggestion, "Commander, Asia Minor is a plain region. The previous governor was incompetent, and important towns fell. The alliance of enemy Chinese princes and the army of slaves are coming violently, and our side is almost in danger of defending. It is better to retreat strategically, withdraw from Asia, and block the enemy in the area of Byzantine City in the Black Sea Strait. ”

The city of Byzantium, which later became Constantinople.

Pompey came out and said, "Elder, General Octavian is right, the enemy does not have a navy, and Qin Zijin will not be able to win us at all. ”

Severus looked at Pompey with some resentment hidden in his eyes. If Pompey hadn't brought back the Huaxia Emperor, something like this would have happened there. But fortunately, he also knew that no one could resist the temptation to catch an emperor.

"I didn't expect Qin Zijin and his army to be so able to fight ......." Severus said darkly.

Asia Minor is the bridgehead into the inner circle of Europe, narrowing at the point of entering the European continent, and is a long and narrow strait, that is, the Black Sea strait from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean.

The Black Sea Strait, later known as the Turkish Strait. The Black Sea Strait, known as the 'throat of the world', is the only strait leading from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea. It consists of three parts: the Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles, with a total length of 345 kilometers.

And what Octavian called 'Byzantium' was the central area of the former Byzantine Empire. Located on the western shore of the Bosphorus, this narrow strait separates Southeast Europe from Asia.

The city itself sits on a small hill bordered by the Sea of Marmara to the south, the Golden Horn to the north, the entrance to the Hellespont (Dardanelles) to the east, and the Thracian plain to the west.

The entire city is like a fortress made in heaven, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Not only that, Byzantium was also the intersection of the Egnumdia Avenue, an important military avenue of the Roman Empire, and the military highway in Asia Minor, which was the only way to Asia and the only way from the Black Sea to the Aegean Sea.

It is precisely because of such a military fortress that, like the Hangu Pass in China, holds the passage to Europe. Even the early Persian Empire could not penetrate this fortress, and could only enter the inner circle of Europe by defeating Greece in naval battles.

With such a fortress fortified, and the fact that the princes' coalition forces had no navy, Severus was already invincible. (To be continued.) )
