Distant Roman Empire, Mesopotamian Province.

The drastic reforms initiated by the two emperors completely angered the old aristocratic faction in the country.

For a time, rebellions broke out within the empire, and the once powerful empire was once again in turmoil.

Among them, the province of Mesopotamia was the first place to raise the banner of revolt.

The consul Abidius Pompeii had been waiting for the men sent to succeed in winning over Elon Antony, the son of the Roman god of war, and then let him lead his army to become the vanguard of the opposition against the two emperors.

Who knew that after waiting for a long time, he couldn't wait for the good news, but got the worst bad news.

Those nobles and merchants who united with him in the city of Rome not only failed to win over Elon, but also let Elrond and the two emperors come to the bottom of the kettle, which really lost the lady and the army......

Later, Niron's son Dinard directly became the consul general of the Government Council and announced the start of reform, which made the old aristocracy have no way out.

When Abidliu Pompeii learned about it, he was so furious that he even smashed his beloved jade wine glass!

He simply regretted that he had died, how could he have let his son Athas follow those fools to rebel against Niron, but now it is good, not only did he not succeed in the rebellion, but instead let his son become a prisoner in the prison and suffer humiliation, and it seems that it will be difficult to save him back in the future.

Abidiliu vented frantically all night, and only when the endless anger in his chest was almost released did he begin to think calmly about what to do.

At this point, negotiation and communication are definitely useless, and he is not willing to hand over his hereditary power and wealth, and the rest of the family will not agree, so there is no choice left......

As the consul of the province, Abidius had no problem in terms of political foresight, and now that these reformers under the two emperors were in power, they would definitely put to death the power of the imperial aristocracy.

Therefore, if you want to survive, you can only resist it, not to mention that he is not the only one who has such thoughts!

Therefore, the day after Abidlius received the news, he resolutely hung up the banner of revolt, and then killed all the disobedient officials in the province, declared the independence of Mesopotamia, and became the first provincial consul to openly oppose the new policy of the two emperors.

Later, a number of provincial consuls, as well as local nobles and warlords, responded that the Roman Empire suddenly became precarious.

Abidiliu understood the reason for shooting the first bird, and he also knew that doing so would definitely become a thorn in the side of the two emperors, and might even become the first target of their attack.

But there are pros and cons to everything, and if he can in turn succeed in resisting the armies assigned by the two emperors, or even defeating them, then he will become the leader of all the forces that resist the empire!

Abidius would have thought this because he had an elite cavalry force of more than 5,000 men under his command.

Their well-armed and experienced combat experience, coupled with the other two original Roman provincial legions, could still defend against the Imperial Central Army, even if they were temporarily unable to attack.

After all, it was impossible for the two emperors to transfer all their armies to attack him......

So at the same time as the declaration of independence, Abidiliu's minions immediately took action.

In the provinces of Mesopotamia, all those who rebelled against his will, and who still looked to the empire of the two emperors, were all purged in a matter of days.

Those who stayed and those who were temporarily promoted were all his cronies and clansmen.

After taking complete control of the province of Mesopotamia, Abidius learned that Ngalani had led two Roman legions to attack.

Abidliu, who knew Nairon's strength, was a little nervous, although he thought he was moving fast enough, but he didn't expect Aaron and the Double Emperor to move faster!

He did anticipate that Ngalani might come to attack him, but what he didn't expect was that Ngalani only gave him ten days to prepare......

War is not a child's play, especially the actions of the Great Army, without a long period of preparation, it is tantamount to a desperate gamble, and logistics cannot be guaranteed at all.

But Elon did just that, and Abidio didn't know if he was prepared or desperate, or if he thought he was vulnerable, but in either case, it wasn't a good thing for him......

Of course, it would take another month for the Elonian army to march from Rome to Mesopotamia, but this was not enough for Abidlius.

In desperation, Abidius convened his subordinates overnight to discuss.

Everyone thinks that although the current army is more than Ngalon, if it really fights, it is impossible to defeat the other party.

This is the son of the god of war!

His legion was the most elite in all of Rome, and his prowess speaks for itself.

What's more, in addition to the cavalry corps of more than 5,000 people, the other two legions are a little demoralized, after all, they have just changed their identities from the banner of the Roman Empire, and now they are facing the ace army of the empire immediately, where will there be any fighting spirit......

Abidius was very angry when he heard this, and he was furious, I don't know what you are saying, I want you to think of countermeasures, not to let you break your morale!

Under pressure, someone finally came out and gave a countermeasure, that is, to contact the other nobles in the province and ask them to hand over their private army and slaves to help, after all, if Abidiliu is defeated, they will not end well.

These nobles have long eaten most of the dividends of the empire's conquests, and they all have a large number of men, whether they stay on the manor or continue to follow their masters on the expedition, they can continue to bring more wealth to the nobles.

Abiderius's eyes lit up when he heard this, this Ider is good, he rewarded the person who came up with the idea, and immediately ordered it to be implemented, and sent envoys to contact various places.

Sure enough, nobles from all over the country and even some nobles from other provinces sent people to come.

They are not stupid, the reform of the two emperors involves their own fundamental interests, the contradictions between the two sides are irreconcilable, coupled with the fanning of the flames by the envoys, it is naturally a "happy" decision.

Of course, there were a few people who were still watching or supporting the two emperors, but at this time Mesopotamia was still under the control of Abidarius, and they were forced to do nothing but deal with the situation or ...... The tribe was destroyed.

Just over a dozen days later, outside the provincial capital of Abidiú, a new army had gathered!

After the count, Abidieu's confidence gradually recovered, for the army numbered more than 20,000 men, which was a full four legions!

Although the nobles are not stupid, most of the troops sent are old, weak, sick and disabled, and only a few are really good.

Fortunately, the arsenal in the province of Mesopotamia was well stocked, enough to equip more than 20,000 people.

Abiliu personally selected 5,000 elites to form the Third Mesopotamian Army.

Coupled with his own personal guard legions and the original first and second legions, he had four main legions under his command, and two of them were cavalry, and the rest of the old and weak were incorporated into the local guards.

In this way, the balance of power between the two sides opened up again, and Abidio believed that even if Ngalon was a god again, he would be able to defeat him!

What's more, you can also use some tactics reasonably......

Mentioning this, it is Abidliu's specialty, he can become the master of the Pompeii family, because of his excellent tactical command skills, and now he has a military advantage, and he is waiting for work.

Niron, leave the myth of you, the son of the god of war, to me to break!
