PS: 10,000 updates present! Have a great weekend everyone! Tonight is another night of revelry.

Kirk thought about it, and winter was about to pass, and Egyptian grain was shipped to Rome. Following the news from Rome, Caesar, who solved the famine and Pompey, was declared a "dictator" by the Senate and enjoyed supreme power and glory. After he settled the Roman civil war and his political enemies, he was sure to launch a military campaign against the growing rebellion against Carthage.

It is necessary to pacify the destabilizing factors of Numidia itself before the arrival of the Roman legions in the spring, and wipe out all the strategic factors that the enemy can exploit.

Kirk nodded.

For the next few days, Kirk's team followed the army of Spartacus, day and night, and quietly moved in front of the East Numidian tribe. This is not only the stronghold of the remnants of Numidia's disobedience, but also the only barrier between Numidia of Spartacus and Cleopatra's Egypt, the two great Kirk's behind-the-scenes forces.

At present, with the financial support of 30 million ores urgently approved by the Roman Senate, the East Numidian tribe has finally gained a foothold from the crushing defeat that has just been blown up by Spartacus, and has regathered 200,000 cavalry troops.

But in the following days, Spartacus ordered 50,000 iron horsemen to stay hidden in the desert, and divided the other 50,000 tribal warriors, into dozens, to harass the East Numidia tribe in turn.

Although Caesar sent many envoys and generals to help Dongnumidia train his army and stabilize the situation, urging them to remain calm and wait until the arrival of the Roman army in the spring. Attack Spartacus again. But Spartacus ferociously ordered the cavalry to begin to burn and loot in the East Numidian tribes, slaughtering villages one by one, which finally triggered the fury of the East Numidian tribal alliance, and the 200,000 cavalry divided into two routes, led by two tribal kings, 20 miles apart, swept over.

Spartacus did not order the army to attack, but ordered the harassing troops to constantly retreat, attracting the enemy to attack. Before luring the enemy deeper. The enemy was divided. The 50,000 men of the tribe with a deep hatred value chose to continue the pursuit, but most of the enemy retreated.

Spartacus ordered the legions to attack and surround the pursuing Horde army. After several failed breakouts, the besieged tribe finally could not hold out. Send someone to ask for the help of the army to break through.

After a heated argument. The East Numidia tribe sent 50,000 cavalry to the rescue. As a result, the rescue failed. Spartacus, who was ambushed on the way, charged with 50,000 elite armored iron horsemen, and was shot on his back in the volley of ten thousand spears. The spears they threw in. Most of them were blocked by the armor of the Iron Cavalry, and did not cause great casualties.

The battle between the elite armored iron cavalry and the ordinary Numidian cavalry is like an armored unit against a motorized infantry, and the 30 million Orley gold coins are smashed down, how can you hear the sound, let alone the legion brought out by the god of Spartacus?

As a result, the loose military discipline of the Numidian nomadic tribe came into play again, and the reinforcements of the East Numidian tribe were scattered and chased by Spartacus, with corpses all over the field and rivers of blood. The rest all surrendered.

After this battle, where did the East Numidia tribe dare to rescue the besieged 50,000 troops, Spartacus did not rush to annihilate. When the enemy's morale was high, choosing to forcibly annihilate would increase the casualties, but waited three days and repelled several enemy breakouts. After three days of exposure in the desert, there was a lack of water and food, and even the indigenous Numidians lost eight souls. Spartacus easily annihilated their entire army with a single charge, and surrendered countless times.

Subsequently, the enemy chose to flee and return to their old base.

Spartacus led the elite iron cavalry for a thousand miles, rushed ahead of them, and cut off the retreat route. Although they can roam freely in the desert, the number of oases that can supply the army is limited, and as long as the water source is cut off, the natives will not be able to escape.

The final battle soon broke out with 100,000 native cavalry and 50,000 Spartacus ironclad cavalry. The battle coincided with a sandstorm, flying sand and rocks, Spartacus rejected Kirk's proposal to assassinate the [Dragon King] team, and formed a goose march formation with the generals, personally leading 10,000 iron horsemen to rush forward.

But seeing the 150,000 cavalry on both sides, the black pressure was spread out in patches in the yellow desert, flying between the sand and rocks, Spartacus occupied the upper hand, and flew out of the sandstorm with 10,000 iron horsemen, firing a volley of ten thousand spears. The enemy fell on their backs like a straw, their horses neighed, and blood stained the yellow sand red.

He led people to break into the enemy's encirclement, the king of the East Numidian tribe hoarded heavy troops around him, Spartacus with an iron cavalry assault, like an iron hammer, chopping the waves, 50,000 Numidian cavalry were scattered, rushed to the panicked Numidian tribe king, roared, and fell!

King Donumida's head flew high and was plucked off by Spartacus!

He roared loudly, and the sound shook the four wilds!

"The bandit leader is dead! The rest is not asked! ”

The 50,000 elite horsemen shouted in unison: "The bandit leader is dead, don't ask the rest!" ”

The Numidian cavalry began to divide, some fled, some sought revenge, and most dismounted and surrendered.

Seeing this, Kirk smiled and left with the team.

The big picture has been decided, and there is no need to look any further.

After this battle, the whole of North Africa north of the Sahara will no longer have the power to threaten Spartacus!

As they reached the city of Africa, boarded the ship, and headed for Rome, they heard the news that the rebels had captured the entire territory of the East Numidian tribe and wiped out the remnants of the remnants of the army!

All of Numidia fell into the hands of Spartacus.

Two months later, even if Caesar arrives in person, he will face a unified Numidia under the rule of the Carthaginian princess Winrita!

His opponent is Spartacus, who has at least 100,000 elite cavalry, vast strategic depth, abundant mercenary resources, strong material base, and a steady stream of food supplies from Egypt!

A male lion has risen inexorably in the deserts of North Africa, even in the face of the invincible Roman legions, no less than inferior!

Kirk's strategic layout and huge investment have finally paid off handsomely. Numidia and Egypt. It's already connected. The Roman province of Africa was in danger of becoming an isolated island between the sea and the mainland.

Although Carthage has not yet recovered, Princess Wenrita's career has seen a light at the end of the tunnel.

"Why are you coming with us?" Kirk had a headache: "The Numidia tribe has just been pacified, and there are still a lot of things that need to be done for you." ”

A princess Wen Lita, who was dressed in knight's armor and a desert turban, wrapped in a ground with only two big watery eyes, pouted playfully: "Do you want to find your bewitching queen again?" I'm going to follow you! As for Numidia, I said it a long time ago. I'm not that material, Spartacus can do it alone! ”

Kirk was speechless for a while: "Big sister." I'm going to Rome! You are a Carthaginian princess. If the Romans had recognized him, Caesar would have woken up laughing at night. ”

Princess Wen Lita took out a human skin mask: "I have prepared ??? for a long time"

Kirk: "??? Where did you get this thing from? ”

Princess Wenrita: "The Egyptian court." ”

Kirk: "??????"

The group disembarked in Rome.

Kirk sighed for a while, it had been a year since he left Rome. I wonder what happened to this kid Octavian?

And Caesar. This omnipresent conqueror. I don't know what kind of attitude Lu Dao will have towards himself.

The so-called planning cannot keep up with the changes. When he left Rome with Antony on his expedition to Greece. I can't even think of what happened after that. The battle of Greece, the wandering to Carthage, the chance encounter with Winrita, the pursuit of Pompey, the encounter with Cleopatra, the occupation of Egypt, and the domination of Numidia.

Kirk never forgot his main quest, but the main quest only said to make Octavian the emperor of the empire, but the empire did not necessarily include Kirk's power range - North Africa. It's better to have a father and a mother than to have oneself, let alone Octavian.

Kirk went straight to Octavian's mansion and looked for Octavian. Princess Wen Lita, a brutal elf, had to go with Kirk. Kirk had no choice but to let her come, but he had to wear a mask.

When Octavian saw Kirk, he was still enthusiastic. After not seeing each other for a year, Octavian had grown a lot taller, and at the age of 15, he already had the appearance of an adult.

Kirk sighed.

Octavian's impression of Kirk was still stuck on the invincible warrior he had been a year earlier.

Sitting down with Octavian for a chat, Kirk and the others understood. It turns out that the situation in Rome has changed dramatically.

Caesar has returned, and is actively plotting to become emperor.

Brutus, the leader of the republicans, put aside his dignity and persuaded the senators to support Caesar's claim to the throne.

And Warrenos and Plo chose to retire again after the war. Warrennos actually changed careers and began to run for the Senate. With the municipal elections just a few days away, Warren North is preparing his first campaign speech.

But unlike his smooth sailing, the big-headed soldier Pulo did not have this good luck. After Polo retired, he simply lived in the home of Warrennos. With all his pension, he restores the freedom of his beloved shepherdess, the slave Elenie, and wants to marry her. But she was shocked to hear the bad news, it turned out that her sweetheart Elenie already had someone in her heart, she liked a slave of the Warrenos family, and had made a private decision for life. In a fit of rage, Plo beats his rival to death. Volenos was furious and blamed Plo for committing such an atrocity in front of his own children.

Plo sneered at each other, and said that Caesar's small favor made Warrenos change his original intention of supporting the republic, and Warrenos was speechless. But anyway, the two brothers, who were originally close, temporarily fell out over this matter. Plo was ordered out of the house by Warren North.

The destitute Pulo wanders around taverns, and doesn't even have the money to take care of the prostitutes. According to Octavian, recently, Plo was hired by a Roman merchant named Erastis Foreman and began his career as a killer. indulged in lust and became addicted to opium.

Kirk was impressed, for Plo's fighting skills were not much weaker than Spartacus's, and that unlike the politically minded Volonos, he was a big soldier who acted only on his own likes and dislikes. Only by giving money to women, Plo didn't care if Rome was an empire or a republic.

Kirk hurried to the market to find Plo.

But it was too late. When Kirk arrived, he saw Plo, with his eyes sunken, standing in the middle of the road, surrounded by a bunch of sheriffs and soldiers. Pulo was chained up.

It turned out that Pulo committed a murder in broad daylight, was captured by the sheriff, and was about to be thrown into prison.

Kirk hurriedly stepped forward to negotiate. See a commander arrive. The sheriff did not dare to slack off. But upon Kirk's request to release him, the sheriff refused. Kirk looked at Plo, who had gone from a languid and sturdy lion to a scrawny sick man under the double ravages of opium and debauchery, and only the occasional gleam in his eyes could reveal his former grandeur.

Kirk sighed in his heart.

At this moment, Warren North, dressed in the senator's special strip of white cloth, walked over. Seeing the crowd here, Warren North came over and asked what was going on.

After meeting Kirk. Warrenos was amazed. Although Kirk's later behavior began to turn against Rome. But except for Caesar, who knew a little bit about the way, the others didn't know the way. He walked up affectionately and greeted Kirk.

Kirk pointed at Plo, and Warrenos went up to intercede with the sheriff. But in the end, the sheriff took Plo away. It is said that the trial will take place in seven days. In accordance with the laws in force in Rome. Murder on Plotdown Street. It is punishable by death.

Kirk went back to consult with Octavian. Octavian gritted his teeth: "If not, we will rob the prison!" ”

Kirk looked surprised, Octavian was a well-educated son of a family, how could he say such a headless thing as a prison robbery?

Octavian said with a righteous face: "It is not right to kill people in the streets of Plodan. But he was my Octavian master. If I watched my master be beheaded, would I still be a man? ”

Kirk nodded approvingly. He saved Plo in order to recover Plo's soul as a warrior. But Octavian's rescue of Plo was entirely out of friendship with his master, and now Octavian is still the impulsive and righteous teenager.

Later, Kirk found time to visit Caesar.

Since the credit for conquest of Pompey has been honored by Kirk, Caesar's current favorability is 0, and when he saw Kirk, his expression was cold: "The lover of the Egyptian pharaoh, what did you do when you came to Rome?" ”

Kirk smiled secretly, and from Caesar's expression, it seemed that Caesar had already known that the high priest of the Dao was unable to make this move. Fortunately, he didn't know that Spartacus was his own man, otherwise he would have killed his own head immediately.

Kirk said, "I am your faithful servant???"

Caesar and Antony looked up to the sky and smiled: "Maybe you were before chasing Pompey to Egypt, but since you met Cleopatra, you betrayed your homeland Rome in front of beauty!" Not only did he kill the messenger I sent, but he also stopped my plan many times! For the sake of your many adventures for my cause, I will not kill you this time, but if it is found that you are secretly sabotaging my plans and the interests of Rome, I will definitely take your head with my own hands! ”

The conversation between the two sides broke up unhappily, and the previous friendship between the lord and the minister was gone.

Kirk sneered and walked into the temple of the gods in Rome.

In the temple of the gods, it was still so quiet, the sun poured into the temple through the windows, and the statues of the gods fell into contemplation and solemnity.

Kirk walked over to Juno's idol and took out Pompey's ashes and the high priest's robes, and placed them gently on the ground.

Juno slowly stepped out of the shadows, examined the two objects, and said approvingly: "You are worthy of being a Roman warrior, you have successfully killed two evil gods from another world. It has benefited a lot for the peace of this world. What reward do you want? ”

Kirk pointed to his [Gift of the Lord God]: "Your Majesty, I hope to add a third set attribute to the set. ”

Juno nodded: "In this way, you don't have to choose again." I'll personally add a third attribute to your set! ”

Kirk was shocked, this god queen actually wants to take action in person?

The queen smiled slightly: "Why, you can't trust me?"

Kirk grinned and said, "Since the Queen of God is willing to bless me personally, I will be thankful for Bumin." ”

Juno reached out and brushed over Kirk's equipment, and a divine light full of majesty shone on it. When Kirk looked at it again, he found that [Gift of the Lord God] really added a third set of skills: [Reversal of the Queen of the Gods] - as the main god in charge of luck, the Queen of God can extract all the luck of enemies within a certain range and temporarily apply it to you! Cost: 5 Soul Crystals (large). However, attributes such as duration, cooldown, and specific effects cannot be calculated, and need to be checked in actual combat.

Kirk was puzzled to see that this set of skills could neither increase damage nor enhance itself, neither gain nor profit or loss could be measured. What the hell is Juno?

Juno naturally saw Kirk's dissatisfaction, and sneered: "Mortals are mortals after all, you don't have to judge this skill, when you get to the battlefield, use it skillfully, and keep it in your heart, when the time comes, you will naturally thank my god." ”

Kirk's face was black. Juno said again: "But since you got two pieces of evil god equipment, then I will also give you some sweetness." Let's give you a little blessing. ”

Kirk only felt that his body was light, and he got a spatial hint: "You have received the blessing of the queen of the gods, and your luck has increased." ”

There is no hint of how much the space will increase, and Kirk himself cannot see it. This trip to the Temple of the Gods is really inexplicable, whether it is an increase in skills or an increase in attributes, it is completely invisible. Kirk felt like he had been fooled back.

But Juno didn't bother to talk nonsense to this mortal, and with a wave of his hand, he disappeared into the idol.

Kirk had to laugh bitterly.

The main quest has been completed so far, and the space virus has been eradicated three, which is enough to make a difference, and only the only thing left is to ensure the rise of Octavian.

But there are two prerequisites for Octavian's rise, one is that Caesar hangs up. Octavian and Antony fight for supremacy. The second is that Antony was killed by Octavian.

However, Kirk's strong rise in North Africa and Egypt has changed the plot dramatically. For example, Antony should be on good terms with Cleopatra and make Egypt a gentle country. Now Cleopatra is Kirk's mistress, and Egypt has become Kirk's stronghold.

Without Egypt, how could Antony compete with Octavian for supremacy? That's a strange question.

Kirk didn't want to think so much either. The current problem is to take the good man Puluo under his account. Compared to Warrenos, Kirk prefers the simple and rough Plo. (To be continued......)
