Chapter 136: The Big Fish is Fierce and Hostile
After the pacification of the north, the southern provinces gradually submitted to obedience.
The king's guard led by Grace marched to the south and grew in power, but after Serbas took the city of Rome, he did not make any statement and ignored the letter of appointment of the southern administrator signed by Serbas himself.
'Killula' made a great contribution and was appointed as the new Cabinet Treasurer as a member of 21 parliament.
After Serbas was sworn in as King of Rome, all military power was taken over by King Serbas.
The first test that Serbas faced after taking office was the encirclement and suppression of the elite troops of the former Roman Republic overseas.
The Romans were warlike, and in order to open up a wider territory, the domestic elite army was fighting abroad all year round, which is why just a few slaves could disrupt the entire national order.
However, in this regard, Serbas had been prepared for a long time, and ambushed countless archers along the coastline, and the dense rain of arrows forced the overseas fleet that came back from the expedition to rescue the defense at all.
The soldiers from the Baksha Training Institute, who had been fighting in the water for a long time, were proficient in the water, diving into the water to gouge through the bottom of the ship, and the returning Roman army near the coastline was almost completely wiped out.
Chang'an still carries the identity of Cthulla, fights bravely with his accompanying 'guards', and is known as the second 'god of war' in the army, because the first is a warrior named Morris under the command of King Selbas.
Upon receiving the news, Grius Pompey, the former administrator stationed in Spain, returned to Rome with his army, bypassing Sicily in an attempt to land from Messina and encircle the new regime from the south.
For this one of the three giants who will be on a par with Sursula in the future, it has been recorded in the history books that he is the most powerful of the three.
Pompey's army pressed in, and the new dynasty did not send troops to besiege or defend, and the Serbas gave orders to Grace to intercept in the south.
After receiving the order, Grace finally sent 500 men to intercept Pompey's 20,000 elite army.
At this time, Chang'an was discussing the 'military situation' with Khathula under the identity of 'Cthulla'.
"Lord C'Sulla, how do you think we can intercept Pompey's 20,000 troops?"
“…… Silicili was Pompey's sphere of influence and had ample reserves. If Pompey were allowed to cross the Strait of Messina and land on the Brutia Peninsula with his troops, the south would inevitably be in the middle of a long period of chaos. “
"Pompey is so powerful? I remember that Pompey was under Sulla, just like you, and you are old acquaintances, is it possible that this man will receive the king's flag? ”
"It's all possible, Pompey has ten legions overseas, and this time he only brought 20,000 men, which is tentative. Pompey was a brave man, with amazing combat power, and became famous as a young man, and he was very prestigious in the army, and his achievements were remarkable. “
"Hehe, Mr. Cthulla, you are truly a model of nobility, and you do not speak of the rights and losses of others. The great' Monsieur Pompey must have been pleased. ”
Csura did not respond to Chang'an's words, presumably reminiscing about the past.
In defiance of national law, Pompey forced Sulla to hold a national triumphal ceremony at the gates of Rome, demanding that he be awarded the title of "Great".
Not long ago, Pompey despicably abandoned his wife and married Sulla's daughter, who took advantage of Sulla's position in the Senate to gain military power.
After the military power was in his hands, he immediately coerced his father-in-law by force, and ungrateful is such a person.
If there is no information base of Xiaoluo, I really think that Pompey is as the world evaluates "brave and good at fighting, and upright".
It is true that he is brave and good at fighting, but he is ambitious and better at drilling and speculating.
The son inherits his father's business, becomes famous at a young age, abandons his wife to seek glory, and is treacherous after taking the throne, it can be said that he will do whatever it takes for his own interests, and he has no moral bottom line.
What's more, after Cthulla's defeat of the Serbas rebels, Pompey was very angry when he arrived, and in a fit of rage, he brutally killed more than 6,000 rebels, a misdemeanour that has been recorded in Cthulla's name.
This one is related to the task.
