Chapter 94: Dark Gold - 5000
PS: The 13,000 outbreak is over, so let's give some tips or tickets. Tired of the boar.
At the time of Caesar's assassination, Octavian tried to rescue but was blocked by the chaotic crowd. Warrenos and Plo, who were supposed to be bodyguards, were still imprisoned in Alexandria by Kirk. After the defeat of Antony, he had not yet returned to Egypt and was missing.
So Caesar died. Died at a time that Kirk didn't even expect.
Caesar's death quickly caused an even greater ripple effect. As the political forces of each side fall apart and disintegrate at an accelerated pace, each looking for a way to seize power.
Anthony appeared in disgrace and narrowly escaped the Republican assassination. He had decided to flee to northern Gaul, to start a new business in the place where he had struggled for eight years, and to leave with Octavian's family and Caesar's widow. He and Octavian's mother, Atia, had long been in love with each other and had colluded with each other.
But when Octavian learned that he had been pre-ordained as an heir by Caesar, he insisted that the family stay in Rome and, out of his own political interests, for Mark Murphy. Anthony offers a plan.
At this time, after Brutus assassinated Caesar, he became the de facto ruler of Roman politics, and the republicans became more powerful.
So, Mark Anthony went to meet Brutus' mother, Severia (who had been Caesar's lover), and proposed a state funeral for Caesar. Due to complicating factors, Severia finally agreed to Caesar's proposal for a state funeral. In fact, because of Caesar's great exploits and political influence, even if the republicans did not agree, the state funeral would have taken place as scheduled.
At the same time, Anthony charged Brutus and other Republican senators with murder. Lashed out in the Senate.
Antony and Octavian were more than accurate about Brutus's old-fashionedness. Character with insufficient change. Sure enough, at the funeral, Brutus remained silent because of his guilt for assassinating Caesar, and the disgruntled masses joined Mark in coming. Anthony's camp. Antony quickly regained his strength by using the strength of the Roman plebeians and knightly classes who supported Caesar.
But Antony's political alliance with Octavian was unstable. Antony tried to inherit Caesar's mantle and take power to himself. Octavian, on the other hand, insisted on Caesar's last wish and became the new co-ruler himself. After Antony's power swelled, because of his dissatisfaction with Mark Antony, and in order to consolidate his position as heir, Octavian wrote the people the cheque that Caesar had promised before. Promise to give them a better life.
But the move not only angered the mother. It also made Mark Anthony, who rejects the strategy of division of power, even more sparkling. After the dispute, Octavian left Rome and temporarily went north to avoid trouble.
Interior of Rome, Antony and Brutus. The plebeian faction and the aristocratic faction. Dictators vs. Republicans. In a fierce struggle for power. Assassinations are in the air, factions are overturning, in the sewers of Rome. From time to time, a headless corpse can flow out.
In North Africa, due to civil strife in Rome, plans to reconquer Egypt were naturally put on hold indefinitely. And Caesar's loyal general, Lepida, also hastily ended his mission, led 200,000 cavalry legions, and quickly returned to Rome to participate in the distribution of power.
Kirk followed Spartacus on a frantic march and eventually met Princess Winrita and Cress, who remained behind in the Numidia tribe to persist in guerrilla warfare.
When Princess Wen Lita saw Kirk, her eyes immediately turned red, and she threw herself directly into Kirk's arms: "People think that as soon as you see Cleopatra, you will leave me behind and never come back." β
Kirk was touched by her little daughter's attitude, and a deep kiss made Princess Winrita fascinated.
Kress and Spartacus laughed and entered the Chinese tent together. Kress reported: "After the departure of the master and the general, Caesar and Lepida carried out the policy of buying, dividing, and disintegrating the tribes of Numidia. Many Numidia tribes were bribed to rebel. But fortunately, we were well prepared, not only resolutely carrying out the fortified wall and clearing the wilderness, and all the tribes quickly retreated into the desert, so that Caesar's diplomatic offensive failed, but also resolutely sent troops, and soon slaughtered the tribal leaders who surrendered and rebelled, and firmly controlled the overall situation. β
Kirk nodded, touching Wen Lita's head. Although Kress said it easily, Kirk knew that he must have experienced many crises and even dangers.
Kress continued: "Although Lepida is a famous general, commanding the cavalry to come and go like the wind, inflicting great losses on us. But in the boundless Sahara Desert, his army was all tall horses, often sunk deep in the sand dunes and immobile. Every time we attacked his small detachment, we gathered and annihilated them, and then dispersed into dozens of units, and through the signal contact of the Numidia tribe, we beat Lepida to the ground. β
Spartacus laughed: "Don't be arrogant, if you and Lepida are put on the plains of Egypt, each with 100,000 cavalry alone, you will be beaten by him and you will not be able to touch the north." This victory was achieved by taking advantage of the right time, place and people. β
Kress laughed, "I know." Later, Lepida was really good, and he took the method of cutting off the grain routes from Egypt, which made it very difficult for us. Princess Winrita did everything possible to use the fleet of Carthaginian remnants to deliver food from overseas, so that we could barely survive this crisis. β
Princess Wenrita puffed out her chest proudly, and Kirk kissed it.
Spartacus asked, "Lepida withdraws?" β
Kress nodded: "Caesar walked half a month ago and heard the news of his assassination five days ago. As Caesar's dog, Lepida was worried that he would be liquidated by the Senate and lose his military power, so he naturally had to hurry back to Rome to fight for power. Not only did he take the entire cavalry corps, but he also took a lot of the garrisons of the province of Africa. β
Kirk's eyes lit up: "In that case. β
Spartacus nodded, "Our chance to recover the city of Carthage has come. β
Princess Wenrita wept silently in Kirk's arms, and when she was in the grass, this noble princess never imagined that she would meet Kirk, let alone that she could restore the inheritance of Carthage with Kirk's help.
Rome originally had a heavy garrison in Carthage. After the occupation of Carthage, Carthage took advantage of its geographical superiority and became the trading center of the Western Mediterranean, quickly becoming the second largest city in the Roman Republic, with a population of 540,000. Taxes are in the tens of millions of Orray dollars a year. Such a rich golden-egged hen, of course, the Romans attached great importance to it. Up to the most. At one time, 8 regiments were stationed here at the same time.
But since the edifice was about to fall, Lepida naturally did not care about the defense, and he took almost all the Roman army with him. In fact, Lepida believes that even if these 8 legions are left, it will not be enough for Kirk and Spartacus to fight. After all, on the banks of the Nile, the cavalry legions of Kirk and Spartacus swallowed thousands of miles, and the dragons roared and swallowed the heroic deeds of destroying 400,000 Roman legions. It has shaken the entire world.
And so it goes. The province of Africa, the defense of Carthage, fell to an all-time low, like a stunning beauty with a striped stripe. Unprotected, he leaks in front of the legendary demon Kirk. The whole city was terrified. The inhabitants of Rome fled. Only the remnants of Carthage rejoiced. Come in a continuous stream.
Kirk and Spartacus were carefully prepared. In the middle of the night, led by Kirk and his army of witches, he assassinated the officers guarding the city gates. The gate was opened, and the elite cavalry of Spartacus was guided, and with a bang, they rushed down the city.
The entire city of Africa, almost bloodless, fell intact into the hands of Princess Winrita of Carthage.
Princess Winrita immediately announced the abolition of the title of Roman Africanian Province, restored the title of Carthage, ascended the throne as Queen Winrita I, renamed the city of Afrika as New Carthage, with Spartacus as the commander and Kirk as the national teacher, and called on all the Phoenicians and Carthaginian remnants to return to their homeland and build Carthage together.
The Phoenicians were seafarers and coachmen, but after the destruction of Carthage, a large number of inhabitants fled, and the wandering Carthaginian nation finally had a goal. As a result, the ports of Carthage welcomed a large fleet of ships day and night, carrying immigrants, wealth and goods, shuttling back and forth between cities in the Mediterranean.
After the capture of Carthage, the city not only did not decline, but became more and more prosperous. Although this prosperity was based on the civil strife in Rome and the lack of time to look westward, Princess Winrita was already seizing the time to raise military funds among the wealthy Carthaginian remnants and shipowners to build a Mediterranean fleet that could rival the Roman navy. Whether it was the port of Carthage, or Alexandria in Egypt, the cover and support of a strong navy were needed.
If the Roman Caesar did not die, or if the political situation was not chaotic, in any case, he would not sit idly by and watch the enemy's navy on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea. It should be known that after the end of every Punic War, the requirements of the victors for the defeated were to hand over the naval warships and not to build large ships. The navy is a prerequisite for hegemony.
At the same time, Cleopatra was also in Alexandria, establishing Egypt's naval fleet. After Carthage's independence, Egypt recognized Carthage for the first time and established close trade relations. The temporary decline of Rome, the hegemon of the Mediterranean, brought Carthage's trade with Egypt to a climax.
After completing the great cause of conquering Carthage, Kirk, accompanied by Princess Winrita, went to Queen Dido's underground temple together and fulfilled his vow to Queen Dido.
His Carthaginian power favorability also soared to 500 points all of a sudden. Kirk decisively chose to upgrade [Queen Dido's Love] to dark gold equipment. Transform the hard work of this world into your own benefits. After exchanging 400 opinion points for upgrade fees, Kirk also spent the remaining 100 opinion points to upgrade the level to level 5 in one go.
γQueen Dido's Loveγ
[Level]: Dark gold equipment
[Category]:[Mask]/[Helmet]
[Equipment]: Head
[LEVEL]: LEVEL5
[Description]: Love is crying and laughing, and distance is life and death
[Specifications]: Weight 3457 grams
[Material]: Pure gold, gold, Queen Dido's ashes
[Defense]: 300 (was 150)
[Gear Effect 1]: [Solid] Passive Effect. Immunity to lethal damage to the head and neck (formerly the head).
[Equipment Effect 2]: [Double-sided] passive effect. When you're wearing the front, all melee skills are +3, and when you're wearing tails, all ranged skills are +3.
[Equipment Effect 3]: [Gemini] Action Skill (New). This powerful, superb dark gold gear will grant you the abilities of a twin clone. You'll have a shadow clone with 50% of your health, 50% of your basic stats, 50% defense, and 65% of your attack, as well as all your speed and decisions. The more enemies he kills, the stronger the shadow itself becomes (after dying or disappearing, the new shadow reverts to its initial value). He kills the same enemies as you do. The summon time is 120 minutes and the cooldown is 24 hours. SUMMON COST 3 LARGE HEDRON (BASED ON LEVEL5)
[Equipment Effect 4]: [Roundabout] You can throw a weapon in your hand to inflict a devastating whirling double ranged strike on the enemy, the speed is fixed to extremely fast, and the damage reference melee effect remains unchanged.
This piece of equipment has been upgraded from a silver plot to a gold plot, and after being upgraded to dark gold equipment again, its effect has already made Kirk dumbfounded. Undoubtedly, though, the main changes are a significant increase in defense (150 to 300, which is even higher than armor) and the revocation of the [Burn] disadvantage. A new stunt has been added. But the emergence of this new stunt. Completely changed this equipment from an auxiliary defensive type to an offensive and defensive type!
The biggest problem with Kirk's team is that there are few people and insufficient available combat power. This double-sided dark gold mask. Duplicate Kirk as a doppelganger. and inherited more than 50% of abilities and attributes. This change is strategic!
As Kirk's first orthodox dark gold equipment. It can be said that after the upgrade, this already strong double-sided helmet will become an absolute workhorse!
And. Not only can Kirk use it, even after Kirk has the [Majesty of the God King], this helmet can also be transferred to Wang Han, Chubby and Sheva. Whatever type of team member the team needs, you can replicate one more such team member. 3 hedrons, 2 hours of combat time, and 24 hours of cooldown, all of which are cheap and good-value.
This is a worthwhile investment, which makes this piece of equipment suddenly double in value.
According to Wang Han's estimate, the price of an ordinary dark gold equipment is at least more than 10 million, but this kind of high-grade dark gold equipment containing the best attributes is at least tens of millions. The key is that the trading volume of dark gold equipment is extremely small, and it cannot be seen in the world at all.
It's no wonder that those reincarnation teams have worked hard to dig deep into the plot of the world, and at the advanced difficulty, only in this way can they get such powerful high-grade equipment! One piece of equipment is enough to change the strength and even destiny of a team!
Queen Dido also issued many powerful tasks, such as restoring the largest territory of the Carthaginian Empire and recovering Gibraltar, which made Kirk greedy. After completing the Restoration Mission, Queen Dido's exchange list is also very generous with a lot of goodies. For example, the Carthaginian general Hannibal's superb green suit [Silent Conqueror], a 9-piece suit, can be called the best. For example, you can exchange it for the legendary Carthaginian mammoth as a dual-purpose pet for riding and combat! Of course, the required friendship is also rising, and for Kirk, whose friendship is cleared, these rewards are like floating clouds.
Although the city of Carthage was recovered, there were a number of other Carthaginian cities that were not recovered. Kirk sent Spartacus and began to sweep away the remnants of Rome's power in North Africa in a devastating manner. In the following month, the Strait of Gibraltar was captured, the Mediterranean Sea was controlled, and the cities of Kharkouane were captured to the east.
After the restoration of Carthage, the Carthaginian remnants had a large fleet of ships and their inhabitants were seafaring, so they thrived by sea to trade in slaves, metals, luxury goods, wine and olive oil. There is a huge amount of business income every year. At the same time, its cottage industry was also well developed, with textiles being the most famous. The land in the Bagradas valley is very fertile, so Carthage has developed agriculture even in North Africa.
In the luxurious and extravagant palace of Carthage City, Queen Wen Lita curled up in the arms of the national teacher Kirk, looking at the official documents from all over the country, she couldn't help but be bored for a while, and pouted with her warm mouth: "Master (after Kirk was called the national teacher, the queen changed her name from her brother to master), if I had known that it would be so difficult to govern the country after the restoration of the country, I would ???"
Kirk was furious and glared at her, the tsundere princess, no, now the tsundere queen was suddenly silent.
But Kirk didn't let her go, and he couldn't be polite to the playful beauty queen. He put Queen Wen Lita down on his knees, and his two magic hands decisively lifted the queen's golden lace skirt, and peeled off the thong of Queen Wen Lita's plea for mercy, which had led fashion for 3,000 years!
Although Queen Wen Lita was very intimate with her master, she was still an untrained chick, and she was suddenly attacked by this fang, and she was immediately stunned. So much so that the beauty queen didn't have any resistance, and she was stripped of her skirt and pants!
Being looked at by Kirk's wolf to see his shyness, Queen Rao is Wen Lita, who has always been lively and bold, suddenly shyly turned red, hot, and screamed: "What is the master doing??? Help ???"
Master Kirk is extremely cruel: "A queen like you who doesn't work well must be punished, master, I want to touch you, no, it's a spanking of your ass!" β
"Hit ??? Ass, why do you want to take it off??? Bottoms ???"
After all, Queen Wen Lita is of noble birth, and she can't even look at her body as a maid, but today she is not only looked at by this guy, but also spanked her ass, where can she be? Suddenly struggling arrogantly, two white and evergreen round thighs kicked and beat, and high-heeled beautiful legs struggled.
Master Kirk was unmoved, angry and angry, and grabbed the two fat round buttocks of the queen of bottomless pants vigorously, and opened the bow left and right with his two big hands, and hit the pink buttocks that Princess Wen Lita had never touched before. The beauty queen fell on the knees of the stern master and cried.
Kirk looked at the queen's beautiful eyes full of tears, and his heart softened, but he also had to harden his heart and somewhere, and said in his heart: "Training the queen and princess is no different from training the daughters of the noblewoman, if it is not hard, it is not enough to control it."
