The big cat's jewel-clear cat eyes glared at the boss.

Under Huo Quai's protection, the surging power of the godhead will not cause harm to it.

The qi is poured into the big cat's body, integrated into its blood, and stimulates its own potential.

The big cat fluttered, looked down, and saw that he was actually floating out of thin air.

Behind him, the fat tiger also let out a tiger roar, and his legs left the ground.

The two looked at each other, and licked their lips in exactly the same motion, which was indescribably comfortable.

If you look at it from a more microscopic angle, you will find that in the bodies of the big cat and the fat tiger, there are small fragments of godhead, with the power of godhead attributes, blending with their own bloodline.

The bodies of both are in and out of the void.

Death, architecture, and guardianship are the three theocratic attributes, and the fluctuations of co-aggregation are extremely terrifying.

Under Huo Quzhi's control, the power of the Godhead was transferred to the body of the big cat and the fat tiger to the limit of what they could bear.

This process will continue for a while and be divided into several times.

Huo Qu got sick and completed the most difficult part, so he threw the big cat and the fat tiger into the Divine Mansion.

Empty Samadhi has the experience of absorbing the Buddha's relics, and he has more experience, and the rest is done by him.

In the hall, when the generals of the Han army came in one by one, the big cat and the fat tiger just turned into a puff of black gas and disappeared.

Su Jian and Gongsun He, who were walking in the forefront, had a look of surprise on their faces.

The terrifying fluctuation just now was actually sent by the cat in the champion king's family?

The battle clouds on the front line were thick, and the generals came over to have a combat meeting.

At the same time in Rome, there was also a meeting going on.

The Great Hall of the Tribal Council.

Beams of light fell from the dome and shone on the central area of the temple.

The elder was personally present, and there were 12 core seats, and there were no vacancies.

Surrounded by representatives of the Roman aristocracy, gathered in a solemn atmosphere.

"Our consul was killed by the Han commander, the champion king, and Egypt has reneged on its faith and has made an alliance with the Han."

The elder sat in the first place, and the old voice shook everyone's ears.

That glorious Roman consul with ruthless methods is actually dead!

Killed by the enemy commander!

This news spread in everyone's ears and hearts like thunder, and waves spread everywhere.

The commander of the Han army can kill the archon!

Leon has been killed for a while, but he used to go out often, and the first time the patriarch announced it in public, most people still don't know it, and the shock can be imagined.

The name of the champion king shook the Roman aristocracy in an instant.

Some of the magnates of Rome already knew in advance and were silent in their positions.

More people who just learned the news, their hands and feet were numb, and there was an uproar:

"The Archon is dead!"

"Unbelievable!"

"Who is the champion?"

"The Commander of the Han Army......"

The nobles who knew the news in advance also knew that the Grand Patriarch had summoned everyone to come over, and there was a more important matter, which was to elect a new consul.

At this moment, in the darkness behind the main hall of the council, there was the sound of footsteps with a constant rhythm.

A handsome young man walked slowly out of the apse, dressed in white aristocratic attire, with deep and wise eyes, and a crown on his head that belonged exclusively to the consuls.

Silence returned to the temple.

He ...... will be the new consul of our Rome. ”

The identity of young people is familiar to some people, and some people are unfamiliar.

Those who were not familiar looked at the leather scrolls in front of them, which contained the personal information of the new consul.

He and the previous consuls were from the same family.

The difference is that the current consul is only a branch of that illustrious family.

His father was a down-and-out knight who had been driven to a remote part of Rome at a young age to work as a farmer.

And the young man in front of him looks less than thirty years old.

But the information on his identity profile clearly states that he is thirty-seven years old this year.

The people in their family seem to age very slowly, and they always look very young...... Some parliamentarians pondered and continued to read, and the name of the new consul appeared on the information: Gaius Marius!

It's a name that will soon be passed on to future generations.

Gaius Malleus.

According to the historical line, he was elected consul at the time of Rome's defeat at the hands of the Germans, and he carried out military reforms and conscription with great courage, and finally defeated the Germans.

However, Roman society also changed due to the introduction of conscription.

Soldiers who become professional soldiers are increasingly attached to the individual generals and become personal political assets.

Decentralization is always easy, but recovery is difficult.

This eventually led to Rome, which gradually moved towards dictatorship and imperialism, ending the republican era.

In this world, due to the arrival of the fairy concubine and some unknown reasons, a series of changes have taken place in the Western world.

Gaius Marius became an archon much earlier than the historical line.

He's on the edge at the moment.

He also had an even more famous nephew, Julius Caesar!

"Alright, now by a show of hands, who agrees with him as the new consul?"

The elder asked in a low voice, speaking slowly.

More than seven of the 12 core seats were the first to raise their hands, followed by more people.

The wrinkled face of the Grand Patriarch could not show joy or anger.

He had been in charge of Rome for many years, and even if there was no prior communication, these people would obey him and would not dare to disobey him.

"Well, the new consul will take effect immediately, and Gaius Marius will be my consul of Rome from this moment on."

Grand Elder: "The core councillors stay, and the others can go." ”

So the nobles left one after another.

They would return home to enjoy good wine, good food, and young maidens, as well as watch slave fights and other shows to be entertained.

In Rome today, the aristocracy is still indulging in enjoyment.

If it weren't for the secret arrangement of the great patriarch and even the fairy concubine, the aristocratic atmosphere in Rome would be even more decadent and extravagant.

The Grand Patriarch narrowed his cloudy eyes as he watched the others leave in turn.

When everyone who should have gone was gone, he reached out and pressed on the desk of the presiding officer in front of him, and a map of the Mediterranean Sea appeared on the desk.

"God says that He is always in mercy of the world, and His gaze is omnipresent!"

The map changed with the voice of the Grand Elder, as if there really were a pair of divine eyes, searching for somewhere in the Mediterranean.

Eventually, the picture stops.

The blue ocean is boundless.

There doesn't seem to be anything unusual on the divine power screen.

However, when the Grand Patriarch picked up a scepter in front of him, he pointed to the picture.

Suddenly a fleet of ships appeared on the surface of the sea, and it disappeared in a flash.

The process is vague and extremely short-lived.

The Great Elder frowned: "The other party's hiding method, even the gods can't completely see through it.

However, there were no ships to dive into the waters of the Romans. The wind of the sea blows through any void, and what is hidden in it will be discerned and cannot be hidden. ”

"The fleet of the Han army has entered our Roman waters, where are they?" A lawmaker asked.

"Between the North Shore of Carthage and the Golden Basin." Said the Grand Elder.

The Golden Basin is what later came to be known as Sicily.

It is the largest island in the Mediterranean, vast and rich, and historically known as the "Golden Basin".

Sicily has always been a battleground for war, successively controlled by the Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, Normans, etc., but has never had its own sovereignty.

"The Han army wants to attack Carthage and Jinpandi?"

Some councillors were shocked: "They are so bold! ”

"Carthage, the Golden Disk, any of them, will cause great damage to us!"

The members of parliament looked furious.

"Judging by the picture, the size of the fleet is not large, Carthage or the Golden Basin, it seems that they can only attack one place."

"According to the elders, where will they attack?" A parliamentarian asked.

The elder turned his gaze to Marius: "Where do you think the goal of the Han army is?" ”

Marius took it in his stride: "Both are targets.

The port of Carthage is our second most ship docking. It doesn't take a lot of manpower, as long as it suddenly approaches, releases the fire oil, and burns the ships in the port of Carthage, it can deal a huge blow to our Rome's naval combat capabilities. ”

"If the richness of the Golden Basin is destroyed, it will also hit us hard."

Ma Luo said eloquently: "If the Han army is bolder, it can be divided into two ways and attack two places at the same time, which makes it difficult for us to take care of both." ”

"But they are not destined to succeed, since the great elder has discovered the movement of the Han army, he must have been prepared.

The fleet sent to sea by the Han Chinese would soon be wiped out. ”

The Grand Patriarch pointed to the sea in the divine power picture with his scepter again.

Another fleet of ships appears on the screen.

It was the fleet of the Romans.

Some parliamentarians looked at the flags flying in the flotilla: "Second Legion? ”

"The Grand Patriarch transferred the Second Army to intercept the other side at sea?"

Grand Elder: "Not only at sea, tonight, the third, fourth, and fifth legions, land and sea, will cooperate in action, and there is a hole in the defense line of the Han army, which they themselves did not find, because they do not fully understand the topography of our Mediterranean. ”

"Alright, let's all disperse, there will be good news tomorrow morning."

"Elder, we are here with you to wait for the good news.

The Second Legion was about to attack and kill that Han army, and I was a little impatient to see them defeated. ”

There are several core councillors.

A smile appeared on the emaciated face of the Great Elder: "If you are willing to wait, then let's go together." But I'm going to go out first, and you'll be here for a while. ”

He walked out of the Great Hall of Parliament and into a no-man's land.

A man wearing a black hooded robe appeared behind him and said, "The news has been sent to Macedonia, and the other party has promised to open the city gate for us tonight and lead our army into the city." ”

The Grand Patriarch nodded slightly, and the black-robed man disappeared.

The Great Elder took a deep breath, and a crack appeared in the center of his eyebrows, and an incomparably burly figure came out of it.

This man was as strong as a mountain, his armor was even wrapped in his face, and only a pair of terrifying eyes were revealed, and the armor on his body was dazzling with dark golden light.

Like a snake, the Great Elder differentiates from his body.

The burly figure, after appearing, jumped into the sky, and ran away in the clouds, with an amazing momentum.

"The body of the gods summoned by the oracle has not been used for a long time, but it is a little rusty."

The crack in the center of the elder brow closed, and he walked slowly back to the council hall.

Ctesiphon.

After the strategy meeting, Huo Quzhi summoned Song Ran: "The person who embroiders clothes, how is the progress?" ”

"The news came back a quarter of an hour ago, and the other party was happy to cooperate. They had been fighting against Rome alone for so many years, and now that we had the main force to contain the Roman army, of course they would be happy to try. Song Ran said.

Huo Quzhi looked at the fiery sunset outside the window, and thought that after tonight's confrontation, the big waves would sweep the sand and see who would die at the head of the tide tomorrow.

At sunset, Huo Qubing led a pro-army and rode away from Ctesiphon and disappeared into the darkness of the night.

At midnight, the stars twinkle.

The national capital of Macedonia.

Perseus, the lord of the kingdom, personally went out of the city and waited outside the north gate.

Half an hour ago, he suddenly received news of Huo Qu's illness.

However, Huo Qubing judged that Macedonia would be the main target of the other party, and he would personally bring his troops over.

The Macedonian ruler was somewhat unimpressed that Rome would regard them as the main target.

The reason is that after the alliance between the Han army and Egypt, Macedonia had no worries at sea and transferred troops to fill the northern defense line.

And the current fourth and fifth armies of Rome were all pinned down by the Han army.

To say that the Romans wanted to raid Macedonia, unless they could quickly break through Macedonia and gain a strategic advantage, it would only increase consumption.

The commander of the Han army despised my Macedonia too much, although we couldn't beat Rome, but we survived the most difficult times, and the current situation, Rome wanted to quickly capture our Macedonia, it was absolutely impossible.

"The lord of the country, Han Shuai suddenly wants to come to Macedonia, and the old minister thinks it is strange."

The Minister of Military Aircraft, Shuerlius, said in a low voice.

The Macedonian lord was amazed and said, "What's so strange? ”

"According to what we know during this time, we know that the commander of the Han army is good at surprise attacks, and has broken many countries in a row.

He came to Macedonia at this time, and transferred one of our elites beforehand, Avti, and Prince Lega all went to sea with the Han army......"

The Minister of Military Aircraft said: "After the Han Shuai captures Egypt, if he can directly control our Macedonian port, he will be able to control the north and south shores of the sea, echoing each other from afar, which is obviously more beneficial to the Han army......

"Are you saying he wants to break the covenant and take my Macedonia to build a new line of defense?"

"Well, he's motivated...... My position in Macedonia is the most important, and it is better for him to control it personally.

However, the old minister is just guessing, not necessarily right, but the lord of the country must not be on guard. The Minister of War raised his eyebrows and glanced at the Macedonian lord.

Perseus's expression changed slightly, and he was a little surprised.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves started, and Huo Quai's team came.
