The next day, Li Ji and Nero set off again.

This time, he just left the inner world and returned to Rome, and found that the second peculiarity was completely different from the original story of the Roman emperor's melee, and turned into a more tragic barbarian melee, which made him puzzled about how to interfere with the peculiarity.

In any case, after yesterday's discussion—

Their goal will be Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, whether it is to confirm the identity of the maiden, or to rebuild Rome, and stop the barbarians and the demon kings, they need to go there, not the Western Roman Empire, which fell and burned down in the shattered city of Rome.

Because the fire of Rome has just passed, there are still many people who have not stayed away, hearing the rumors of the emperor's return, suffering from no way out, and they are looking forward to defecting.

In such a stormy time, the patriots who were willing to stand by the emperor's side were undoubtedly Roman patriots, and Nero would never refuse them, taking in more than 2,000 people, and taking the strong and skillful ones into soldiers and distributing equipment.

With so many people following, and the fact that they saw barbarians killing and raiding on the road, they were moving extremely slowly.

Thankfully, the enemy is just as fast, especially the remote Anglo? The armies of the Saxon kingdom and the Frankish kingdom wanted to reach Constantinople as if they were to cross most of the European continent.

Even so, as they gradually moved north, the Mediterranean became colder and colder when it was relatively warm and wet, and every day people would fall ill and fall ill from frost, and the food they carried on their journeys would gradually run out, and people would often faint from hunger on the roadside, and the surrounding barbarians would make matters worse, and the activities of wild beasts would become more and more frequent.

"Performer, the next step is to enter the first ten barbarian kingdoms, Lombardy, which can be described as the first obstacle in front of us, and we must break through it."

"How about we go directly to the king of Lombardy, challenge the whole country, and if we lose, ask them to hand over their supplies and get out of the way?"

Nero smiled slightly, "It is indeed a good idea to be a player of Yu, and it is indeed a good idea to avoid fighting by relying on Yu." ”

"What about the two thousand Roman people and soldiers who are tailing?"

"I'll protect them." Li Ji knew that his cultivation, unless it was a true immortal, he was enough to sweep the continent.

After making up his mind, he no longer hesitated, even if this method was a bit ridiculous, he simply killed himself, imagining how powerful Nero's combat power was at this moment, plus Li Ji, unless the king of Lombardy was a heroic man and a great man in the world, otherwise they had a very high chance of winning.

In the next few days, they officially entered Lombardy, and their movements were so loud that they had already been reported by the cavalry roaming around, so they attracted a lot of attention.

Li Ji and Nero were at the forefront.

All around them were the barbarian cavalry that had been watching them for many days, relying on the advantage of agility, harassing everywhere, and from time to time shooting an arrow, which howled wildly at the Roman people behind them, and even frightened the children into crying.

The regular army, which protected the population, numbered less than 100 men, could not take care of the long and loose defensive lines.

They did not flinch, they understood how powerful their emperor was, but it was only that, even with the peerless force and the unsheathed sword, no one would know how powerful they were, and they would despise and underestimate the remnants of the Roman Empire, thinking that they could bully the remnants of this empire at will.

Several daring barbarian cavalry rushed forward, trying to rob them of the women and wealth they valued.

Li Ji's mind turned, and the Qinghua Divine Sword turned into a silver thread, separated by five hundred meters, penetrating the opponent's heart, and saw a heavy figure on the rushing horse fall to the ground with a bang, turning into a corpse.

The rest of the barbarians were shocked and suspicious and stopped moving.

Thus they were able to move on.

A few days later.

In the afternoon.

From the distant horizon, the earth shook like a herd of migratory beasts galloping across the steppe, like a mythical giant coming out to forage for food, and then the barbarians who were still around realized something, shouted, screamed, stopped moving, and turned in that direction.

A steaming horse's head was revealed, followed more and more, and in the blink of an eye, a long black belt of cavalry appeared, and they kept galloping, with a commanding voice, and their weapons in their hands seemed to tear apart all obstacles in their path.

The king of Lombardy and his main army arrived, totaling more than 5,000 cavalry, and only the king was qualified to drive so many barbarian soldiers into battle.

The cavalry galloped to a distance of five hundred meters from them, and soon several menacing-looking tall horses with dragon blood, with golden manes and metal scales, sat on them a tall enemy in armor and with a war hammer in his hand, probably the enemy's general.

Following behind, a man with strong and undisguised magical fluctuations, a heroic character appeared, wearing a crown on his head, to stop the provocation of the cavalry around him.

"Who the hell are you? Don't tell me it's the emperor of the Roman Empire, the Roman emperor died a long time ago, I won't believe it. "Men don't feel extremely powerful, they may be heroic spirits who are good at business governance.

Nero stepped forward: "Listen, Yu is the rose sword emperor of Rome, Nero?" Claudius? Caesar? Augustus? Germanicus, O Heroic Spirit, report your name. ”

The man was not shocked or annoyed when he heard that his identity was revealed: "Speaking of which, Emperor Nero is really resurrected, or listen, I am the Lombard king Liutprand, and there are about two hundred years left in the world, maybe there is some kind of opportunity for me to take charge of this country." ”

Sure enough, it was the Heroic Spirit, and in the seventh century, the most famous king in Lombard history, Liut Plande, led the kingdom to the pinnacle and plundered the lands of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Nero raised his sword: "Listen, Yu heard the prophecy of the destruction of Rome, but ah, Yu will not agree, Yu will take the people to the Eastern Roman Empire and completely destroy your ideas." Now, Yu asks you if you are willing to get out of the way, so that I can not kill the Lombard soldiers for the time being. ”

Hearing something surprised, Liut Pland sighed, "Are you not only a tyrant, but also a madman?" At the height of the Roman Empire, they did not dare to face our soldiers, Emperor, do you want to get me out of the way with these few words? ”

Nero continued to provoke: "In this case, I heard that the barbarians advocate martial arts, so I let you see the most powerful swordsmanship in the world, I don't think the Lombards should be frightened to flee." ”

At this time, Liut Plant fell into deep thought, the rumor that Odoacer in the south died at the hands of a mysterious girl, and even Rome was burned by fire for three days and three nights, should it be true.

The remaining barbarian cavalry could not resist the impulse and asked for battle, when would the Romans, who should be prostrate under them like chickens, dare to speak to them like this.

Liut Plant did not hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered his army to attack, testing what qualifications he had to be so arrogant.
