Chapter 114: Roman Invasion?
Just when Qi Lin entered Zhuo County with a caravan and dared to branch his inn, Qi Lin was thousands of kilometers away from the base - the Bosporus Kingdom, but suddenly ushered in a Roman army.
Tens of thousands of Roman warriors gathered outside the walls of the border of the Bosphorus, and the tents alone stretched for dozens of miles.
Since four years ago, the Roman army group has finally attacked 'Calradia', only to find that the city is empty, the 'demon army' is long gone, and there are no buildings in the city.
With great effort, thousands of elite Roman soldiers were killed and wounded, and finally broke through the opponent's long three walls and arrow towers, thinking that they were going to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the legendary demons, but what they didn't expect was to get only an empty ground.
Some Roman consuls remember that there used to be a village here, but now there is only completely level ground.
True, completely level, not a little raised ground is visible.
There is nothing to be seen in this castle, stones, weeds, all of them, and the wall on the opposite side is so far as to be seen.
Naturally, the Romans also noticed the closed gates in the opposite wall, and the same turrets.
Looking at the gates, many Romans felt that the 'demons' had fled from here, from the Roman land.
They wanted to pursue, but looking at the arrow towers in the distance, and remembering the casualties they had paid to break through the three walls, the Romans retreated.
But because of this, he did not give up searching for the traces of the 'demon army'.
In the months that followed, Rome was heavily conscripted and sent legions throughout the empire to search for clues about the demon legions.
However, at that time, Qi Lin had already led his troops to occupy and control the Bosporus Kingdom, so these Roman legions, who only searched the territory of their own empire, finally found nothing.
When the search was fruitless, the Romans turned their attention to the surrounding countries.
But even though most of the surrounding countries were Roman vassals, they were not allowed to enter by other armies. Not even if it's roman.
The army can't do it, and the small scale is afraid that they won't be able to defeat that group of demons, and they will be annihilated by the other party, so they have no choice but to stop for a while.
But there is no secret that can be hidden forever, the trading merchant ships that Qi Lin once sent out are a little different from the real ships after all, and the people on the teleportation are also somewhat different from the real people.
It wasn't much at first, but after a long time, some people finally discovered the weirdness.
After some exploration and several searches, the Romans finally found out the origin of these ships. Later, several search teams were sent to infiltrate the borders of the Bosphorus Kingdom to investigate, and naturally they found the walls that surrounded the entire kingdom.
At this moment, the Romans finally determined the location of the 'demons', although they did not know why these 'demons' would trade with humans in this small land, and sell them a large amount of food.
But many speculate that those 'demons' may have been badly damaged in the last battle, regardless of the head-on confrontation with the Roman army. So he hid.
And the cheap food that Zilin sold to the Romans, too, turned into a temptation and poison for the 'devil' in the speculation of the Romans, although so far. None of the Romans fell ill or died from eating the food......
But by this time, the Romans had already identified the people of Qilin as 'demons'.
In addition, the previous battles had caused the Romans to suffer heavy losses and lose face.
And the new emperor of Rome is also in urgent need of a major event to divert the attention of the people. Even the harvest of people's hearts.
Then, there is more to attract the attention of the world than to destroy a group of 'demons'. Is it more able to buy people's hearts?
No!
Thus, in the months that followed, the entire Roman Empire was put into operation, recruiting soldiers and forging weapons.
In order to be able to gather a large amount of combat power in a short period of time, the Roman Empire even recruited gladiators in the gladiatorial arena.
Finally, in 184, several huge Roman armies sailed out of the borders of the Roman Empire and rushed towards the borders of the Bosphorus.
β¦β¦
"Three hundred thousand Romans?" In the Bosphorus Kingdom, Manid looked at the information transmitted by the reconnaissance cavalry in his hand, and his face was gloomy and terrifying, "Send someone to Dahan as soon as possible, and tell General SΓΉ (Qi Lin) about the situation here, with our troops, it is impossible to stop the other party for long." β
"Yes, sir!"
The Scout Cavalry saluted, then sped away at Manid's urging.
When the scout cavalry was gone, Manid turned his gaze to the west, where the Romans were stationed.
300,000 ...... I don't know how long the troops in the city can resist.
General, you need to hurry up!
β¦β¦
"I'm rubbing, why are there so many enemy markers on the border of the Bosphorus Kingdom?"
Almost at the same time, back in the inn, Qi Lin, who had just played Ma Jun to heal the wounded soldiers, opened the map and found the situation of the Bosphorus Kingdom.
"Damn, did the Romans find out for me?" After a little figurin, Qi Lin guessed the identity of the other party, and then looked at the red spots on the map, and scolded secretly, "This Nima is too ruthless, right?" How many people do you get such a big red spot? β
"This Nima is hairy, and everything is in a hurry? The Yellow Turban disaster has just started here, and the city has been besieged over there, play me? β
After cursing, Qi Lin thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't let go of either side.
The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and Qi Lin is reluctant to abandon it.
The Eastern Han Dynasty has just picked up a little bit, and it is catching up with such a big event as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which is the best time to rise.
But the Bosphorus Kingdom is its own logistics center, and where does the money it consume come from, whether it is the riding and slashing system or the imperial system.
And his only naval base is there, and his only salt chief is there.
If you lose it like this, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to your own development.
"Alas, it would be nice to be able to direct remote command like in the game......" Qi Lin sighed.
At this moment, Chu Yun, Su Shuang, and Zhang Shiping, who had arranged their subordinates, walked in, and when they saw Qi Lin sighing there, they couldn't help but be curious.
"Oh, you're here?" Qi Lin heard the movement, looked up and saw the three of them, and temporarily put down the troubles in his heart, and asked the three of them, "How are those white horse servants and the coachman arranged?" β
"Lord Qiqi, it's all arranged." The three of them hugged their fists.
"Oh, that's good." Qi Lin nodded, and then remembered the troubles just now, and couldn't help but sigh again.
Chu Yun saw Qi Lin's distressed look and asked curiously, "I don't know why the lord is sighing?" It's better to say it and let your subordinates and others share their worries for the Lord. β
When Qi Lin heard it, this seemed to be a solution, he couldn't think of anything by himself, so it was better to say it to make everyone happy...... Ahem, let's come up with ideas together.
Although I don't have those bull military divisions or anything like that in my hands at the moment, these NPCs are not too rigid and only know how to carry out orders.
So he told the people in front of him about the problems he found on the map.
"My lord, in that case, why don't you send someone to lead a large army to support the Bosphorus Kingdom, or you personally go to the Bosphorus Kingdom to support and leave some people to deal with the affairs here......" (To be continued......)
