Chapter 90: The Power of the Musket
Hearing Liu Hong's words, Gaita shook his head slightly.
"There's been no news of them all this time."
"It's as if the Parthians have vanished."
"But I still can't figure it out, how can an army of thousands of people say that it is gone?"
Hearing Gaita's words, Liu Hong suddenly looked stunned.
He remembered something.
"Your Majesty, how many troops do we have in the country?"
was asked coldly by Liu Hong, and Geta was stunned.
"Fifty-five legions, stationed in various cities, as well as the three thousand police officers in Rome, and my personal guards, what's the matter?"
Liu Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Where is the closest city to Rome?" ”
"Canstia, of course, where a corps of four thousand men is stationed."
Hearing Gaita's answer, Liu Hong's eyes flashed with a gleam.
"Your Majesty, how long has it been since the city of Rome contacted Canstia?"
Geta thought for a moment, then spoke: "I have been concentrating on the royal city, and most of the things outside are done by Caracalla. ”
"But five months ago, Caracalla should have been busy... Overhead me. ”
"I guess I haven't been in contact with these cities on the periphery for at least two or three months, but they also contact us on weekdays."
Speaking of this, Gaita trembled, her eyes widened, and she looked at Liu Hong with a stunned expression.
"Master Guoshi, what you want to say is ......?"
"That's right, Canstia's army of four thousand men is most likely the Parthian legion."
Liu Hong said with a solemn face.
It was just a conjecture on his part.
But Liu Hong feels that this conjecture is likely to be true.
Since the last accident of the Parthian army, Liu Hong and Gaita have organized more than a dozen searches, large and small.
However, none of them were found.
The Parthian army of thousands of men almost disappeared right under their noses.
Therefore, Liu Hong speculated that the army may have left the city long ago.
And Canstia is the closest to the city of Rome.
At the same time, in the last civil war with Caracalla, several nearby cities had legions coming to their aid.
It is not possible to say that the Parthian army is really the army of Canstia.
"Master Guoshi, if this is the case, then what should we do next?"
Geta asked, somewhat worried.
If the Canstian legion was really the Parthian legion, it was likely that a fierce battle would have been avoided.
However, he was more concerned that the outbreak of war would cause serious damage to the inhabitants of the city of Canstia.
As if sensing Gaita's concern, Liu Hong shook his head slightly.
"Your Majesty... War damage is inevitable. ”
"But if we don't deal with Parthia as soon as possible, when their strength rises again, there will be more casualties at that time."
Liu Hong said.
In desperation.
Geeta had no choice but to agree to send troops.
Immediately, Liu Hong began to arrange tactics.
This time, however, he planned to use street fighting to annihilate the Parthian army in one fell swoop.
In order to ensure that everything went smoothly in the plan, Liu Hong decided to go into battle in person this time.
Plans were quickly put in place.
Late the next night.
Canstia City.
Skarna's brow furrowed, and he pulled off the bandage around his abdomen, revealing the scabbed wound inside.
"Seti, Seti!"
Scana shouted.
A short time later, one of the guards trotted in and stood in front of Skarna.
"Your Royal Highness, what do you command?"
Seth said respectfully.
"I've been feeling terrified for the past two days, as if something bad has happened."
"Tell everyone to get out of Canstia as soon as possible."
Hearing Skarna's words, Sethi was stunned.
"Your Royal Highness, we have finally stabilized in Canstia, why do we have to ...... again"
Seti had a hard time understanding Skarna's thoughts.
Since the fall of Parthia, they have gone into hiding, barely resting for a day.
Finally, the city of Canstia was slowly purged of its own power.
It's not been stable for two days, and it's about to start tossing again?
"No, we have to get out as soon as possible."
"My instincts never lie to me, it's an order, leave immediately."
Skarna shook his head firmly.
Seeing this, Seti also knew that he had no way to advise, so he nodded helplessly.
Just as he was about to leave to deliver the order.
Suddenly, a series of explosions rang out outside.
"What's the situation?"
"Thunder?"
Skarna and Sethi were stunned.
But then they heard the sound of ghosts crying wolves outside.
And the sound seems to be coming from inside the barracks.
"What the hell is going on!?"
Skarna sat up in shock, ignoring the pain of the wound, and hurriedly ran out.
As far as the eye could see, I saw a burst of fire outside.
The barracks were full of Pathians fleeing and wailing.
"Oh my God... What the hell is this..."
Scana was stunned by what he saw.
Where do these loud noises and fires come from?
Is it the punishment of the gods?
"Don't mess around! Don't mess with the army! ”
"Assemble quickly!"
Skarna hurriedly shouted.
Hearing this, the Parthians fled in a hurry and immediately rushed towards Skarna.
At this moment, however, Skarna heard a series of more intense noises.
It's just that these sounds are much weaker than before.
Just as he was wondering, he found that as the sound kept ringing, the Parthians were also falling.
It seems that these sounds are the scythe of life.
Skarna, who had never seen such a battle, was completely panicked.
What kind of existence is it?
Why did his countrymen fall one after another?
Eventually, less than 2,000 Parthians were left who ran to Skarna's side.
The remaining 2,000 people all fell in the flames.
The remaining more than 1,000 people immediately retreated to the city to defend themselves.
The former owner of the Canstia legion was a duke, so he built a castle in the city.
Now the castle is a strategic place for them.
And when they all shrank back into the castle, they finally saw the faces of the enemy clearly.
"It's you!"
Skarna was furious when he saw the man standing at the front.
"The national teacher of the Severus dynasty! Why are you here! ”
"What kind of witchcraft did you use to kill so many of my countrymen!"
Scana snapped.
Hearing this, Liu Hong shook his head helplessly.
"Your presence is a great threat to Gaita and me."
"So I have to exterminate you, and unfortunately, I didn't expect you to be hiding in Canstia."
Hearing Liu Hong's words, Skarna's eyes were split.
"You brutal invaders!"
"You invade our country! And kill my people! ”
"You are real demons! You should go to hell after you die! ”
