Egypt.

Inside Alexandria, the light in the main hall of the royal palace was somewhat dim.

Pharaoh Ptolemy VIII of Egypt, dressed in a white robe and somewhat bloated body, sat in the dormitory.

Huo Qubing gave him a task to consult many ancient scrolls in Egyptian history to find the truth about some things.

The hall was quiet, except for Ptolemy VIII.

He was looking at a slate.

Most of the earliest documents, materials, are engraved on stone tablets.

Egypt is one of the places where human civilization can be verified.

And the stone tablet in front of him, which is said to be a sacred object left by the gods after the creation of the world, has been passed down from generation to generation in the hands of the pharaohs of Egypt for thousands of years.

Many of the things prophesied by this tablet were fulfilled one by one.

Including how many dynasties Egypt will go through, the exact time of the change of royal power.

Every time Ptolemy VIII looked at it, he would have a feeling that it was hard to believe that this was something that could have been foreseen thousands of years ago, and he believed in the power of the gods even more.

Time passes.

Ptolemy VIII was immersed in reading the slate when he suddenly had a hint of alarm.

He suddenly turned his head, and a needle-like weapon pierced out from behind him, a thin sword, very thin, trembling like a hair, and falling in an unpredictable place.

Flashed away.

The moment Ptolemy VIII turned around, a black spot appeared on his eyebrows, pierced by a demonic thin sword.

He staggered and sat down.

Behind the thin sword, a figure held the book of gods and stepped out.

"Breaking the covenant with my Rome, how powerful is the assassination of the gods of the Assassins?"

The other party said coldly: "The Great Elder asked me to greet you." ”

At this moment, the wound on the center of Ptolemy VIII's eyebrow was pierced.

The scepter at his side shot a ray of light, like a death-bearing war spear, piercing the opponent's body from the lower abdomen.

Ptolemy VIII stood up from the ground, a grim smile on his fat face.

He became Huo Quai's resurrection of the corpse, and borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul could have brought people back to life and recovered from their injuries.

The moment he was stabbed into the center of the eyebrows by the other party, the power of the corpse resurrection weapon came into play to ensure that he would not die.

When Ptolemy VIII got up, his hands glowed, urging Egypt's national fortunes.

His left hand was as black as ink, and the shadow behind him turned into a tall, thin deity with the head of a jackal. The right hand is as bright as the golden sun, and the hands correspond to life and death, light and darkness.

An invisible force that cursed the other party's vitality.

The assassin sent by the Great Elder did not expect that someone would survive after being stabbed in the center of the eyebrow, and he was caught off guard.

“…… The Great Elder will not let you live, and it is useless for you to evade my assassination. ”

The voice weakened, and the other party died.

But at the same time, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and an attendant came in, and was shocked to see the Assassin who had fallen to the ground dead:

"Pharaoh, Iomito, and Raseros have been released by someone, and they are entering the palace with their men."

Ptolemy VIII's expression changed slightly.

He and Cleopatra III's children, as well as others associated with Cleopatra III, were imprisoned or killed by him after his departure.

Cleopatra III had been in power in Egypt for a long time, and how many arrangements were made is unknown.

After the other party left, Ptolemy VIII controlled the relevant manpower, fearing that the other party would launch a coup d'état and seize Egypt. This was very frequent in Egyptian history, including when Ptolemy VIII himself became pharaoh and experienced more than one similar power struggle.

The Great Elder sent an assassin to kill him as a first step. Then let people take over Egypt and continue to control Egypt is the second step.

Historically, Raserus, who was released at this time, was the king of Egypt after Ptolemy VIII, Pharaoh Ptolemy IX.

He was also the son of Ptolemy VIII and Cleopatra III.

Although Cleopatra III is gone, his influence in Egypt has not been completely erased.

And the other side has the support of Rome behind it, and it will never be so easy to eliminate.

Ptolemy VIII, with a gloomy face, strode out.

This night in Egypt, the struggle for royal power was full of changes.

And on the battlefield in Asia Minor, the Han army was reorganized.

Huo Qubing issued a new order: "Advance westward, take over the whole territory of Seleuc, and behead all the Romans in the territory."

The royal family of Seleuc in Ctesiphon was summoned to stabilize the situation in Seleuc. ”

The Evil King, Zhao Ponu and others agreed in unison.

Huo Qubing himself led the three thousand champion guards to the west, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The evil king asked Zhao Ponu beside him: "How did the prince go west?" After this battle, isn't it necessary to withdraw to Ctesiphon to rest? ”

"You thought you were going to rest, but it wasn't the prince's idea."

Zhao Ponu: "The prince said that the war has just begun.

If the Romans also thought that the prince would withdraw his troops after fighting these three legions, they would suffer a great loss. ”

Huo Quai's past was unknowable, and the battle of annihilating the three legions was not a big victory for him.

The Evil King smashed his mouth.

Huo Quai's fighting has always made people unable to see through the purpose of the war, so he can break the enemy's unpreparedness.

The night is getting darker.

Huo Qubing led his troops all the way to the west, and returned to the hidden port where he had found the commander of the Third Army, Pigerfez, who had led his troops ashore.

And, here, there is a ship waiting.

On board are embroiderers!

"Yao Zhao, you lead the troops to march on the shore, cooperate with me, and advance to the northwest."

Huo Qu got sick and boarded the ship and set sail for the sea.

Yao Zhao led the remaining soldiers and horses, according to Huo Quai's orders, to the northwest and marched along the coastline.

Huo Qubing actually took advantage of the route of the Roman Third Legion, which landed last night, the mouth of the gorge that was barely accessible by boat, and in turn entered the sea area heavily defended by the Romans.

In the wee hours of the morning.

The ship came to a position on the eastern shore of the Aegean Sea.

Ahead, on a steep hill near the coastal cliff, a fortress was built.

It is located east of the Thrace Strait, in the northeastern corner of the Roman border.

Huo Qubing had come before, led his troops, and broke the Adlician military fortress of the Romans overnight.

The Adlicia Fortress, located in the narrow strait between Thrace and Asia Minor, is divided into two parts, east and west, and the two fortresses face each other in the distance, collectively known as the Adlician Fortress, which guards the security of Rome itself.

The last time Huo Qubing was breached, it was the military fortress on the east bank.

After that, the Romans once again strengthened the fort's defenses, sending in heavy troops to repair the ruined city defenses.

They also strengthened the connection between the fortifications on both sides of the strait, and the large number of ships cruising along the coast made it easy to provide rapid support.

At this moment, Huo Qubing came to Adlicia again.

The defeat of the three Roman legions and the recovery of the Seleucian lost territory were only the prelude to the war.

Huo Qubing prepared to send his troops into Rome overnight.

And the fortress built by the Romans should be used as the vanguard fortress of the Han army's subsequent westward expedition to Rome.

Huo Qubing disappeared from the ship and entered the fortress on the eastern shore of Adlithia.

Yao Zhao and others, who were riding on the shore, arrived at the same time and prepared to launch an offensive.

Adlicia's geographical location is a demarcation point and outlet for the westward expedition of Rome and the Han army's westward expedition, which is the most important.

The natural and steep terrain became the best barrier for the Romans.

At this point in time after the Great War, Huo Qubing launched an offensive to seize the fortress, which was the most unexpected time for the Romans.

The Patriarch laid out the means to deal with Egypt and Macedonia at the same time, in addition to the frontal battlefield.

But he didn't expect Huo Qubing to use soldiers so quickly.

When the Grand Patriarch returned to his residence to practice divine power after nightfall, he was awakened from his practice by a quick knock on the door.

The squire's report let him know that Adlicia had broken out and that a new war had broken out.

The Grand Patriarch had a momentary loss of consciousness.

He walked out of the room and looked to the east.

Looking through the space, the divine power flowed, and he saw the heaven and earth, and the war was raging.

However, the details of the Han army's capture of Adlicia's fortress were obscured by a force, which was Huo Qu's illness that disturbed the days, so that they could not be alerted in advance.

For the first time, the Great Elder's face showed a look of surprise.

At his level, he is good at layout, and he has a lot of back-hand, and he doesn't account for the gains and losses of the moment.

Even the losses of the three legions did not move the great elders.

But the Han army attacked Adlihya overnight.

The elder didn't expect Huo Qubing to fight so quickly and vigorously in advance, so he killed him that night, and the soldiers were in the front, and the beacons were in flames!

What he was worried about was that he couldn't see Huo Quai's strategy for using troops!

Failing to see clearly means not being able to respond effectively and being completely passive.

"How is Adlicia doing now?"

The Grand Patriarch turned around and walked towards the Great Hall, asking as he went.

"I don't know, the news I received only said that it was attacked by the Han army, but did not say the specific situation." Said the squire.

The Grand Patriarch walked quickly into the Great Hall.

The presiding case here is imprinted with the geography of the mountains and rivers of Rome, and it is similar to the social map of the Han Dynasty.

The Great Elder is here to generate divine power, and he can see every border of Rome without spending much divine power.

When he entered, the void was rippling, and an old man with a grim face and curly brown hair appeared at the same time, the head of the family of Augustus, the head of the four oldest surnames in Rome.

At the same moment, the new consul, Gaius Marius, also appeared in the temple.

The elder stretched out his hand to press the long case.

A picture of divine power rose again on the desk.

A skyrocketing fire!

Shouts of killing and swords.

Under the influence of divine power, the Great Elder could still hear a loud thunderous sound, one after another, extremely dense.

However, the details of the battle are still nowhere to be seen.

Huo Quai's illness prompted a variety of military tactics to cover up the use of troops in this surprise attack and interfere with the Roman exploration.

Judging from the picture of divine power, it can only be seen that the Han army has occupied the eastern part of the Adlicia army. They then crossed the narrow strait and launched an offensive against another part of the fortress on the west coast.

The main thing is a lightning fast.

"How can they fight so fast!"

The head of the House of Augustus said, "Adlihya is too strong to be easily conquered. ”

Grand Elder: "In addition to the fact that the commander of the Han army is a demigod, there is also the kind of war artifact they have mastered."

I had been prepared for this weapon before, and I added an oracle wall to the city on the front line.

But if the continuous bombardment is too frequent, especially with the participation of a war demigod, it may not be able to stop their attack. ”

"The newly received information says that when the Han army attacked Egypt, it used this war artifact more than we knew before."

"This kind of weapon, most likely made by the Han Chinese, will continue to increase in number."

The face of the head of the Augustus family changed.

The elder said: "Prepare for the worst, if Adlihya's army is blocked overnight, the Han army will capture the eastern and western parts." Tomorrow morning, the Han army may land in the Thracian province.

Tell the whole territory of Thrace to prepare for battle, and send the northern and northwestern armies to advance to the east and enter Thrace to deal with the Han army. ”

An attendant hurried to give orders.

But another attendant was coming in from outside: "Newspaper, north of the province of Gaul, the Germanic tribes have once again attacked and declared war on us. ”

The Grand Patriarch was stunned.

Gaius Mallio was also stunned.

The head of the Augustus family was equally stunned, his head buzzing.

The province of Gaul had a number of minerals, which were owned by the Augustan family and were important raw materials for Roman armaments.

At this time, the Germanic tribes once again raised troops to attack, and the timing was so good with the Han army?

It's as if the two parties have discussed it beforehand.

If it was really a cooperation between the two sides, the matter would be more serious.

The elders looked at each other.

Before the start of this war, Huo Quzhi asked Song Ran how the embroidery was going.

Song Ran said that the other party has independently resisted the oppression of Rome for many years, and it is rare for someone to cooperate, so he is naturally willing.

At that time, it was a reference to the connection with the Germanic tribes.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

The elder has arrangements, and the same is true for Huo Quai.

At this moment, the military fortress in the northeast corner of Rome and the province of Gaul in the northwest corner broke out together.

The anger in the elder elder's eyes flickered, and he suddenly broke through the void, and finally left Rome himself, and hurried away in one direction.
