Chapter 276: The City of Rome in the Past, Nero's First Battle
The next day.
When Li Ji opened his eyes, he saw Nero, who had been blessed by his ancestors, standing opposite, leaning forward, his eyes wide, and staring at him with a smile that could give relief and confidence to those who had fallen into despair.
"Performer, this is a peerless smile, now that you are the only one who is qualified to enjoy this, do you feel honored?"
Li Ji stood up, "If a young girl had done this day and night for the past four hundred years, no matter who she was, she would be numb. β
Nero took a step back and covered his mouth: "Ahh Is the performer bored with Yu? Also, no matter how you say it, you are a teacher of Yu, how can you think from an ordinary perspective? In that case, Yu has recently come up with a new way to smile..."
Li Ji had to stop the girl's behavior: "Wait... Today is the starting point of your legend, don't you want to hurry up and see the city of Rome, which has been absent for 400 years? β
The girl was not offended in the slightest, and nodded slightly, as if she had thought deeply, "That's right, the Roman people betrayed Yu, as the emperor, Yu still loves them fiercely, how could he not want to see them." β
Taking advantage of the cool weather in the early morning, they left the "blessed land" where they had lived for 400 years and came to the Apennine Peninsula in a blink of an eye.
Ten kilometers from the city of Rome, on the outskirts of Rome, where Nero committed suicide.
The girl looked at the familiar hills, canyons, and wastelands with a nostalgic gaze, "Four hundred years... The scene of that day is still in Yu's mind, it is the curtain call, the end of an emperor, and then, like a mechanical sΓ©ance in a play, saves Yu from confusion and emptiness, and gives him a new life! β
The girl spoke warmly and affectionately to herself, and heard the sound of fighting in the distance.
The girl's face changed, and she shouted, "Yu people! β
Dozens of burly men with blond hair and blue eyes, pale skin, wearing primitive animal skin armor and holding rock giant axes chased dozens of people to the front.
The wind was blowing, the sand and gravel flew away, and the burly man took a step of ten meters, and in a blink of an eye approached the close of the civilians, like killing chickens and pigs, he easily cut the human body into seven or eight sections, leaving the ground full of stumps and broken bodies, allowing the blood to dripp and make his body all over his body, but he enjoyed this state and let out a fanatical roar.
One of the citizens retained his fighting power and took out his family heirloom shield to fight the burly man.
The shield collided with the stone axe, making a sound that irritated the eardrums, and then both sides discarded their weapons and shields, and in hand-to-hand combat, they rolled on the ground, and where they passed, the trees broke and the ground dented.
I didn't know it, and I thought it was two heroic spirits fighting.
In fact, these strong men and the resistance people, who had ten times the physical strength of modern people, were nothing more than ordinary miscellaneous soldiers in the era of 476 A.D.
Nero joins the fray.
"Stop!"
The girl shouted, her gorgeous posture and peerless demeanor instantly attracted the attention of the burly man.
Immediately after, the girl's primordial fire accompanied her body and struck in an instant, sweeping forward.
Like the dawn that cut off the long night and day, the whole body of the burly man who followed the attack was divided into two, and only a few vitality tenaciously tried to struggle, but found that the blood at the wound continued to steam, and the wound continued to burst into flames that could not be healed, and there was no way to escape the fate of death.
When the battle was over, the people fled in a panic, and only the men who had fought the burly men in front of them took the initiative to express their gratitude and tell them that they had escaped from the city of Rome.
In the early days, the barbarians broke into the city more than once, trampling on the dignity of Rome again and again, using it as their own backyard, which came and went as soon as they wanted.
Therefore, Rome, which once had a population of one million, now has less than 10,000 real Romans left, and the city of Rome has long lost its former glory and is dilapidated.
In addition, yesterday, the last emperor of the Western Roman Empire was deposed by the new Italian king Odoac, and the barbarians followed the influx to sack Rome again, trying to turn the city into the capital of the Kingdom of Italy.
Knowing that Odoacer was the first king of Italy, in other words, the king of the place where the Romans rose, and it is said that this king's identity was also recognized by the Eastern Roman Empire, it is conceivable that this is equivalent to the last hope is gone.
There is no point in staying any longer, so that so many people will escape today.
The man's ancestors were soldiers of the Roman legion, and as the empire appointed more and more barbarian legions, these Romans gradually withdrew from the stage of history, but fortunately they still retained their equipment, fortunately he ran into Nero, otherwise I am afraid that he would become a joke like a mayfly shaking a big tree in the eyes of the barbarians.
"Odoyak!" Li Ji recalled the identity of a terrible man.
"Performer! What's the matter, isn't it an immediate action to hear such an outrageous thing? Travel to the city of Rome and save the rest of the people! β
Nero said, holding himself, under the guidance of the girl, he couldn't refuse at all, that can be said to be the girl's most beloved thing, how could he sit back and watch it be brutally destroyed.
"Got it! Nero, it looks like this is the first battle you have returned, remember it, I think the history books will definitely record this day. β
"Oh! Yu's heart is so happy, it's been a long time since I've heard you praise Yu so much! The girl's heart was overjoyed, her hand touched her chest, and she raised her head proudly: "It's okay, Odoyak, let Yu see if you are qualified to face an emperor!" β
They marched towards the city of Rome, and because of the previous peculiarity, they were well acquainted with Marda in the Vatican, near the city of Rome, not to mention Nero, who was the host.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the foot of the city of Rome, and saw the miserable appearance of this once glorious city, like a girl who had been abused by countless men in turn, almost without complete body and broken personality.
"......" The girl bowed her head and quickly regained her strength, knowing that her prestige as the Rose Sword Emperor had not swept the mainland, she was waiting for these countless poems, scripts, and even future movies, novels with her as the protagonist to create.
The girl motioned to herself, let go of her hand, jumped above the fifty-meter-high city gate, raised the primordial fire high, and with a bang, the big sword turned into a fiery sword hundreds of meters long, splitting the road from the girl's feet.
The barbarian soldiers, hearing the tremors, left from the drunkenness, the women, and the food piles, put on their equipment again, led their horses, and gathered into the streets, calling out to their companions.
The barbarian soldiers who had reorganized their army showed their innate fighting talent in the blink of an eye, and the bloody aura spread, and the murderous aura filled all directions, and the streets became noisy and silent.
But they didn't make a move, they were waiting for someone.
In the distance, a tall man on a white military horse slowly appeared at the end of the field of vision.
Seeing that he was more than two meters tall, the muscles around his body were explosively bulging, his upper body was an inverted triangle, his neck was extremely thick, his head was huge, his blonde hair and beard, his blue pupils, and a bush of thick chest hair was exposed on his chest, with armor and spears flowing with magical power, like a ferocious and violent fantasy giant lion descending.
With every step he took, the earth shook, the buildings trembled, and the dust fell like a prostrate under his majesty, and every time he took a breath, the dragon roared and the tiger roared, making people's hearts beat faster, and they didn't dare to breathe, for fear of being scared to death.
Following the earth-shattering shouts of the barbarian soldiers to welcome their king's arrival, it seemed that an earthquake had struck the entire city of Rome, and a historic building was not far away to collapse to celebrate the king's arrival.
Until the man walked in the middle, stared at the girl not far away with a bloodthirsty gaze, and raised his spear sharply in defiance.
King Odoacre of Italy appears here.
