Starry-studded.

Huo Quzhi stood at the head of the city of Adlicia Dongsai, looking at the military fortress on the west bank across the sea.

The strait between the two Roman military fortresses was the Black Sea Strait in later generations, known as the throat of the world, and was the only passage connecting the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.

Its total length is more than 700 li, the narrowest place from east to west is only about 3 li, and the widest part is more than 100 li.

The entire strait runs from northeast to southwest, and is the boundary between Asia and Europe.

Throughout the ages, it has been a battleground for soldiers.

After the Roman occupation of this place, a large number of construction projects were built, and two military fortresses were built across the strait.

Not to mention its own solidity, it can also support each other, even if one end is lost, the other end is still strong, as long as it is not broken, it will be difficult to set foot in Rome.

Under the personal leadership of Huo Quai, the Han army quickly occupied Dongsai and began to attack Xisai on the other side.

Taking the whole of Adlicia will take the initiative in the next war.

On the opposite side, the Roman garrison Méford Gross, dressed in armor, also appeared at the head of the city.

At the same time as the attack on the east bank, the military fortress on the opposite bank opened its defenses, a semi-circular god protection wall, and the divine power spell on the city wall, and the temple in the city interacted with each other and was impregnable.

Yao Zhao was leading people through the strait, attacking the city with fire bucket arrows, and the earth-shattering loud noise continued.

The divine power to protect the wall, like a lake being beaten by dense raindrops, ripples frequently, but never broken.

The head of the city of Cissé.

Maeford Gross is forty-one years old.

When he was in charge of the Thracian province, he made a strange rule that an unmarried girl could pay off her taxes by dedicating the first night.

After indulging in the girl's body tonight, he came to the city because of the surprise attack of the Han army.

He was a typical nobleman, extravagant, lustful and greedy for money, but he was also famous for his fighting ability in Rome, so he was able to guard Adlicia.

He propped his hands on the cold city wall, looked at the east bank, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn Oriental slaves, sooner or later I will pinch them to death, pass the order, first use the crossbow, shoot these orientals, and beat me hard!" ”

The heads of the fortresses on both sides were lined up one after another, and the large crossbows were huge and bulky, but they were amazingly powerful.

Crossbows are mounted on the shelf through a winch, and heavy arrows are mounted.

Gross himself raised his hand and prepared to command the crowd to shoot at the approaching Han ships with crossbows.

And on the other side of the city, Huo Quzhi took out the Night Bow!

This legendary divine bow given by the emperor has not been used for a while as Huo Quai's cultivation has deepened.

As he took out his longbow, a long arrow gathered by the forces took shape in the interweaving of countless patterns and symbols.

The bowstring trembled slightly.

The arrow was fired, and there was no trajectory or process at all, and it appeared in front of Gross on the other side.

The divine power that protected Cisse was pierced by arrows before a uniform circular hole appeared.

This arrow was so fast that it didn't even seem to react to the divine power wall.

A wall of light erupted from Gross's body.

It was the artifact he used to save his life, triggering on its own.

But before the wall of light appeared, a bloody hole was shot out of his eyebrows.

Before Gross could show fear of death on his face, he fell to his death.

The strange thing is that this arrow is attached to the spiritual power and controlled, and the two lieutenants beside Gross, the city defender, were also killed by headshots in the next moment.

One arrow, like a swimming dragon, kills many people in a row.

There was an eerie silence at the head of the city, and then there was an outbreak of panic!

On the other side, after Huo Qu's illness collected the bow, he glanced south again, vaguely seemed to feel something, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

The capital of Macedonia under the same starry sky.

The north gate was opened from the inside in the middle of the night.

The people arranged by the Minister of Military Aircraft, Shuerlius, played a light signal at the head of the city.

In the darkness outside the city, there was a team under the protection of divine power, as if they had uncovered their invisibility cloaks, revealed their tracks, and rushed towards the city gate.

In the royal palace, the lord of the kingdom, Perseus IV, woke up on the couch.

He was awakened in his sleep by the faint sound of shouting and killing, and when he woke up, the sound of shouting and killing poured into his ears.

Is the shouting of killing in the dream real, someone is besieging the city?

The Romans are coming?

Perseus IV promoted the national fortune to gain insight into the reality of the city.

When he came down from the couch, an attendant approached outside the door and reported: "My lord, there is an enemy attack, and the enemy has broken through the city. ”

Breaking into the city?

How can it be?

Before I could ask the specific situation, another attendant came in outside the door.

"Lord of the Nation, Minister of War Shuerlius asks to see!"

"Send him in, I've got something to ask him."

The lord of the kingdom put on his robe and walked out of the dormitory quickly, and was met by Shuerlius, who was in a hurry.

"The Romans are coming? How did they get into the city? Perseus glared.

Shuerlius, Minister of Military Aircraft: "It's not the Romans, it's the Han army that has come in."

The minister said before that His Majesty should be careful of the Han army, and sure enough, someone defected to the Han and opened the city gate to lead the Han army into the city. ”

The first reaction of the Lord of Macedonia was to be furious, and his body shook slightly: "Damn it......"

But he immediately sensed that something was wrong, with the Han army commander's military methods, and even his personal strength, he contacted me, and there was a chance to enter the city, so there was no need......

Before his thoughts fell, he suddenly felt a killing opportunity, and Shuerlius actually stabbed a short blade head-on.

The head of a nation is usually the one who has attained the highest level of cultivation.

Shuerlius's ability could not kill him at all.

But to attract his attention, the gods of the Assassin God sent by the Grand Patriarch could do it in the same way as the assassination of the Egyptian lord.

Perseus IV was about to exert his strength when he suddenly felt a stinging pain in his waistcoat, and a thin black line pierced through his chest.

A divine assassin walked out with the book of divine favor in his hand, and the thin black threads were divided, and the hair was like a twist and killed several surrounding court attendants.

If it weren't for the suddenness of the incident and the response of Shuerlius, even the divine assassins would not have thought of assassinating the Macedonian lord easily.

But...... It's all late.

"You...... You ......"

The Macedonian lord glared at Shuerlius and said with difficulty: "I ...... in vain"

Shuerlius was the brother of one of his favorite concubines, who was promoted many times, and actually united with the Romans to kill him for treason!

"You can't make it, Han Shuai... Macedonia will not be allowed to fall into Roman hands..."Perseus IV's eyes widened, and his breath faded.

Shuerlius straightened up and sneered: "Han Shuai, how long do you think he can live?"

When the Roman army landed in Macedonia and pierced the inside of the Han army's defense line, the day of the defeat of the Han army came. ”

Shuerlius apparently did not know that the Han army had just routed the three major armies of the Romans.

The lord of Macedonia sat down and was breathless, and the power of the gods who killed him was very targeted, and quickly annihilated his vitality.

The Divine Assassin whose face was hidden under the robe said, "Everything else has been done?" ”

Shuerlius nodded and said, "As soon as the lord of the kingdom dies, Prince Elijah of the country, as well as the son of the lord of the country, Lore and several others have the highest prestige.

My men have gone to Prince Lega and to the house of Lore. Lega went to sea with the Han army and did not return, so he first took down the people in his house. ”

The Divine Assassin snorted.

Inside the city, the residence of Prince Lega, the scene was chaotic.

Lega's daughter, Lodi, one of the two pearls of Macedonia, was also awakened in her sleep.

When she came down from the couch, a procession had arrived outside Prince Lega's mansion.

Hearing that the other party was the person of the Minister of Military Aircraft Shuerlius, the subordinate opened the door of the mansion.

The other party rushed in.

But it was the men of Shuerlius who led the Fourth Legion with the Roman attack.

The guards and attendants of the palace were slashed and killed.

The Roman general, led by him, glanced at the mansion: "I have heard that Lega's favorite young daughter is the shining pearl of Macedonia, find her." ”

The Roman army searched the palace, killing those who resisted, and those who did not were captured.

The leader of the general is not tall, with a long thin face and bright eyes.

Soon after, he led people to find Lodi hiding in the garden.

Luo Di also has a practice, but unfortunately it is not high.

Caught by the wolf-like army, Luo Di, who was only wearing a white middle coat, widened his eyes, shocked and frightened.

Her skin exposed outside her robe was as white as jade, and the night breeze blew, and the light robe clinged to her figure, and the scenery was extremely attractive.

With her unique appearance, a group of Roman soldiers became inexplicably quiet.

The generals at the head looked up and down and did not shy away from it.

Nowadays, Rome has an aristocratic decree, that is, seizures need to be reported layer by layer, and the income is preferred by the great nobles.

A beauty like Lodi is an existence that a middle-level general will never touch.

But Rome also had a rule that in the course of the war, everything was given priority by the generals. This order has post-war immunity, that is, actions taken during the time of the war will not be prosecuted after the war.

The general's thoughts fluctuated, licked his lips, and dragged the panicked Lodi into the room.

Lodi was almost stunned as she was grabbed by a knife-like shoulder like a sheep.

The general tore open her inner shirt dress, and what she saw in a moment made the general's eyes fiery, and he quickly took off his outer robe, pushed Luo Di on the couch, and leaned forward......

At this moment, the general's figure suddenly stopped.

Behind him, a pale golden divine light pierced the back of his neck like a spear.

A blonde priestess with a toned body and long legs jumped in through the window, and it was none other than Avti.

There was a fierce fight in the courtyard, and the panicked voice of Prince Lega asked repeatedly, "How is Lodi?" ”

Avti greeted Lodi.

Luo Di grabbed a piece of clothing to cover herself, and was shocked: "Didn't you go to sea?" Where did the Romans come from? ”

"The prince sent us a message, saying that I am Macedonia, and this time it will be one of the main directions of attack of Rome. However, the main force of the Han army needs to fight a general battle, annihilate the opponent's main army, and cannot draw manpower.

The prince himself has more important things. ”

Avti explained simply: "The prince sent us the news and sent a Han army to the sea to come back with us.

Fortunately, we were in charge of the logistics of the naval battle before, and did not follow the main force of the Han army to Carthage, otherwise it would be difficult to come back in time. ”

"Lodi, how are you?"

Luo Di only felt scared at this time, and began to humble......

Seeing Prince Lega striding in from outside, Afuti said, "I'll go to the palace and have a look." ”

————

The long night passed.

As the sky dawned, the Han army was pouring into the city of Cypriot on the west bank of Adlichia.

Earlier, Huo Qubing looked south because he felt a change from the resurrection of the corpse, Ptolemy VIII.

The pharaoh of Egypt, the sixty-two-year-old lord of the kingdom, died.

The last person he saw was the Grand Elder!

The Elder Himself left Rome and went to Egypt.

He is obviously not ready to confront Huo Qubing head-on at the moment and fight to the death.

However, after realizing that the Adlicia military fortress may fall into the hands of the Han army, only by taking Egypt and Macedonia at the same time can he regain the strategic initiative and fight against the Han army, and will not fall into passivity because of the Adlicia military fortress.

He personally went to Egypt to kill Ptolemy VIII, preparing to support Lasseros as pharaoh and continue to control Egypt and assist Rome.

Unfortunately, one night passed, and the great patriarch, who returned to Rome near dawn, received news unfavorable to him one after another.

The first piece of news was that he personally intervened, although he succeeded in killing Ptolemy VIII.

But Macedonia, which launched an offensive at the same time, did not take it.

A contingent of Macedonians and Han armies, combined with Macedonia's own defenses, succeeded in driving out the invading Romans.

Although the Macedonian lord Perseus IV, as well as his son Lohr, were killed.

The timely return of Prince Kelega brought the chaos in the royal capital under control.

The lord of the kingdom was assassinated, and Prince Eliga of Macedonia had the highest prestige, and he was more pro-Han.

Another piece of news is that the Han army has successfully captured the Adlicia Fortress, opening the door to the Roman mainland!

The Grand Elder took a deep breath and continued to look down.

The third piece of news was that the Han army moved surprisingly fast, and immediately cut off the retreat of the Fourth Army Corps after taking Adlisia.

In the early hours of this morning, the Han Army's Zhang Cigong Department and Zhao Ponu's Department moved south at the same time, preparing to eat the Fourth Army Corps.

The Adlicia army fell into the hands of the Han army, and Asia Minor was completely controlled by the Han army, and even if Egypt was recaptured, Rome was far behind the Han army in terms of military initiative.

The Han region has become a monolith, and there is no place to attack.

The Han army, however, found the best landing site in Rome.

The last piece of news was that there was a Han army at sea before, between the port of Carthage and the Golden Basin.

But when the Roman Second Legion went to attack and prepare to engage this Han army, the other side disappeared and its current whereabouts are unknown.

The Grand Patriarch looked at the successive changes of last night, his brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

The same news also reached Huo Quai.

He listened to Bai Nanyu's whispered news while checking the battle map.

The great elder reacted quickly, realized that something was wrong, and did not hesitate to personally take action to kill the lord of Egypt overnight, trying to win back the initiative.

Otherwise, Huo Qubing would have launched an offensive against Rome by sea and land at the same time, and the advantage would be more obvious than now.

But the current situation is already good, better than ever.
