Chapter 732: The Roman Empire is founded
In the city of Rome, the triumvirate came out of the teleportation array, and the murderous Roman legions returned to Rome one after another.
The city of Rome already has a population of more than a million.
"Glory to Rome!"
The Roman triumvirate returned to this great city and won a great victory, spreading Rome's prestige throughout the Western continent and being sought after by Roman citizens.
The members of the Roman Senate, represented by Brutus, did not look very good.
The prestige of the Big Three is unprecedented, and the Senate has declined in status in front of the Big Three, and it is no longer able to point fingers at them.
"Rome's power is growing, and we need to build a strong empire and expand externally under the leadership of a powerful monarch."
Caesar, in front of the Senate, spoke bluntly and did not take care of the senators' feelings at all.
When their prestige overtook the Senate, the Senate was unable to balance them.
Brutus stood up and tried to stop Caesar from claiming the throne: "Caesar, you are crazy, Rome is not an empire!" β
Constantine's tone was cold: "Brutus, the three of us defeated Attila, and the whole West was shaken, and what did you do in Rome?" β
Constantine, Caesar, and Pompey were silent, and Brustu was under invisible pressure.
The city of Rome was divided among the Roman triumvirate, and the Senate did not have a single soldier.
Brutus had to give in: "There are three of you, is there going to be three emperors in Rome?" β
"Why not?"
"Crazy, you are all crazy, how can there be three emperors in Rome!"
Brutus yelled in surprise, and the senators couldn't help but be moved.
Brutus was the last person to stand up to prevent the Roman Triumvirate from becoming emperor, and he was also representing the Senate to test the attitude of the Roman Triumvirate.
Constantine, Caesar, and Pompey were even more contemptuous of the Senate.
Constantine had a murderous intent and gave a look to the guard behind him, Spartacus.
Spartacus, as a slave gladiator, was enough to fight the beast, and he glared angrily at Brutus, the representative of the Senate, who was shocked by Spartacus's murderous aura and inadvertently took a step or two backwards.
"From now on, Rome will enter the period of co-rule of the three emperors, and for the good of the empire, even the Senate must obey our orders!"
Constantine's tone was unmistakable.
Brutus did not dare to speak again, he was already aware of Constantine's murderous intent.
Constantine was in charge of eight Roman legions, the Genoese legions, the Carthaginian legions, and a number of other legions that made the Senate, even feared by Caesar, and even dared to suppress the Senate in front of the Roman citizens with the acquiescence of Caesar and Pompey.
In the tenth year of the lordship, the Roman Republic officially became the Roman Empire, and the three giants of Constantine, Caesar, and Pompey were called emperors, which was a special period of co-rule of the three emperors!
The Roman Empire gradually became a large empire with control over Rome proper, the city-states of Venice and Genoa, Sicily, Malta, the Carthaginian colonies, and part of the Balkan Peninsula.
"Constantine has gained great benefits from North Africa, and we must also conquer North Africa and divide up the population. The Kingdom of Numidia (the Libyan civilization zone) and the Kingdom of Egypt are our targets. β
Caesar saw that Constantine occupied Carthage (the Tunisian civilization area) in North Africa, and started to conquer the kingdoms of Numidia and Egypt.
The population of the Kingdom of Egypt may be greater than that of Rome.
The Nile River Basin is the breadbasket of North Africa.
Conquering the Nile Valley and enslaving 30 million people would bring him great wealth and a huge army.
The death of Attila and Temujin, and the proclamation of the Roman triumvirate as emperors, caused a huge sensation in the Overworld, and all players realized that the centralization of various civilizations was increasing, and some weak civilizations would be swallowed up by these large empires.
Feudal empire meant endless expansion.
"King, your merits, calculated separately, above any one of Constantine, Caesar, Pompey, we, the Kingdom of Macedonia, should be promoted to an empire."
The generals of the Macedonian kingdom supported Alexander's efforts to turn the Macedonian kingdom into the Macedonian Empire.
"I am the co-lord of many territories of Macedonia, Greece, Thrace, and the Huns, but my population is only thirty or forty million, which is very different from what I expected an emperor to have. Take Asia Minor, and make my territory traverse the east and west, and I will be emperor. β
Alexander did not think that his power was strong enough and did not want to be emperor, but still served as king.
"Asia Minor......"
All the generals of the Macedonian kingdom turned their gaze to the parchment map, the location of the peninsula of Asia Minor.
The Asia Minor Peninsula, also known as the Anatolian Peninsula, is no longer part of Europe, but of Western Asia.
At present, Asia Minor is the Ottoman Turkish civilization zone.
The population of Europe, in Alexander's opinion, was not enough, so he set his sights on the East.
The population of the Eastern Continent was quite exaggerated, and if the population and territory of Western Asia could be annexed, Alexander would consider himself a genuine emperor.
Because he had already heard that the Xia King of the Eastern Han Empire governed a population of more than 100 million.
"The Roman Triumvirate has been proclaimed emperor, and I, the Marquis of Brandenburg, should ascend to the position of Holy Roman Emperor."
Germany's Hohenzollern, wrapped up in military exploits, brought the major electors to their knees, and prepared to become the Holy Roman Emperor, on an equal footing with the Roman triumvirate and Catherine.
Lords such as Louis of France, Charles of England, and Isabella of Spain still seem to have regarded themselves as kings.
Not all kingdoms have the ability to call themselves empires.
With the exception of the Empire, all the Great Lords are waiting for the second reward settlement and point redemption.
Many lords keep their points and are waiting to exchange them for valuable items this year.
After all, the items that can be exchanged for the second time are more valuable than the items that can be exchanged last year, and may even affect the balance between many civilizations.
At the same time, the cooldown of the Holy Recruitment Order also ends when the item is exchanged for the second time.
The barbarian camp, Temujin, Attila, and Knut the Great were eliminated one after another, and the Ilkhanate recuperated during this time, and Tulei did not get many points, and the first place in the points of the barbarian camp was won by the indigenous king of the Mayan civilization in the Americas, "Stormy Paradise".
The name sounds a little strange, as it is the Western translation of the Mayan king.
In Central America, the traditional empire was violently beaten by the indigenous people of the Mayan civilization and the Aztec civilization, and the indigenous forces occupied the area. The Mayan civilization and the Aztec civilization became the hegemon of Mesoamerica.
After ten years of competition, the various lords have formed a new pattern and rules.
Some civilizations have come from behind and have begun to crisscross the seas.
In the civilized part of England, Lord Charles summons Drake, the captain of a privateer, in the city of London.
Captain Drake defeated Cnut the Great, who terrified the English in the North Sea, and became a hero of English civilization.
"We in England were supposed to be a strong civilization, but now we have no voice not only in the whole world, but also in the Western continent. We need to expand outward, establish colonies, set up teleportation arrays, and re-establish a great empire on which the sun never sets. β
Charlie personally boarded the galleon Galen.
The Galen galleons owned by the English civilization were more advanced than the Mediterranean-style galleys and karaks.
This warship is more than 40 meters long.
Drake asked, "Your Majesty, where should our fleet attack?" β
"The African continent, or India. Using the teleportation arrays of the World Trade Nodes to attack these places is less difficult than we thought. In these places, there are almost no decent sailors. But our galleon, however, seems to be missing something. β
Charlie patrolled the huge galleon and always felt that something was lacking.
β¦β¦
The Kushan Empire, the Khyber Pass in the Hindu Kush Mountains, was defended by about 10,000 Kushan Empire infantry.
"Wokotai and we are fighting for the Great Wan Kingdom, and our Kushan Empire has lost as many as 70,000 soldiers. Fortunately, the population of our Kushan Empire is larger than that of Ogedei, and it can withstand attrition. β
"Ogedei is our enemy, and he will regret his decision, because in the end, it will only be our Kushan Empire that wins."
The military generals of the Kushan Empire looked relaxed at this time.
Although Ogedai was fighting with the Kushan Empire for suzerainty over the Dawan Kingdom, and the Han Empire's Western Regions Protectorate was eyeing the Protectorate, the Kushan Empire's generals and soldiers believed that the final winner would be the Jushan Empire, which had a huge population.
The Kushan Empire occupied the northern part of the Indus Valley, the terrain was flat, it was one of the best arable land, and it fed a huge population.
However, the quality of the soldiers of the Kushan Empire was not as good as that of the Mongol and Turkic cavalry of Ogedei, and the two sides were in a tug of war in the Dawan Kingdom.
This 10,000-strong garrison of the Kushan Empire did not yet know that danger was approaching them.
"Lord Timur, there is a fortress set up by the Kushans in the mountain pass, and the number of people is about a few thousand to ten thousand."
A red cavalryman came back to report to Timur.
Timur was on a great adventure, he wanted to penetrate the entire Kushan Empire, occupy Delhi, obtain a large number of servants, destroy the Kushan Empire, and then occupy the entire South Asian subcontinent.
"Break the fortress and kill them! We have to act quickly and intersperse before they can react! β
Timur's eyes were sharp, and the fortress of 10,000 people was clearly watching the mountain pass.
But the defenders of the Kushan Empire, presumably, could not imagine that Timur would dare to carry out such a dangerous operation.
As one of the conquerors, Timur had a certain ability to drive away the servant army, which is why Γgedei chose to let Timur fight in the South Asian subcontinent.
The Mongol cavalry was not suitable for operation in the hot and humid climates of South Asia, so it was necessary to have a large army of servants.
Unable to believe in a war with the Han Empire, Γgedei shifted his sights to the relatively weak South Asia.
The Kushan Empire's valley defenders had no time to react, and Timur's cavalry attacked this fortress in the middle of the valley!
The war horses of the Mongolian cavalry and the Turkic cavalry (the cavalry of the Serju Turkic Empire) are flying, using superb riding and archery skills to shoot and kill the cavalry of the Kushan Empire patrolling the periphery!
"The Mongols and Turks are coming!"
The defenders were alarmed, and Timur personally commanded 100,000 cavalry and stormed the fortress!
After the death of Temujin, Timur's monarchical qualities began to work to suppress the defenders of the fortress.
Apart from Temujin, there was no one else in the Mongol Empire who could suppress him, not even the second Great Khan Ogedei.
