Chapter 766: The Last Hope

On Mount Olympus, there are many temples all over the place.

The ancestral dragon who came with a sincere heart, every temple will sincerely worship and give rich gifts.

He looked forward to receiving the help of the gods to help him continue his life and become an emperor who ruled over everyone for thousands of years.

Everyone wants to live forever, but only the emperor has the strongest heart.

Because he has too much to give.

Ever since Zu Long had this thought, Li Yunze had gradually distanced himself from him.

When Li Yunze himself was an emperor in thousands of worlds, he had never done such a thing, even if he had the conditions, he didn't do it.

No one wants to be ruled by someone else, and once they don't see any hope, they can do anything.

If the ancestral dragon is really immortal, the first person who wants to kill him must be the people close to him.

This is human nature and the law of nature.

Li Yunze, who accompanied him up the mountain, looked at the pious ancestral dragon with a peaceful attitude, worshiped the temple step by step, and walked to the top of the mountain step by step.

He knew Zu Long's thoughts, and this was to use piety, even if it was pretended piety, to impress the gods who were said to live on this mountain, to fulfill his wishes.

But he also knows that there really is no such thing in this world.

If there really is, the first thing those immortals want to find is definitely not the ancestral dragon, because there are emperors in the human world every year, but outsiders like Li Yunze can't meet one of them in many reincarnations.

Li Yunze just looked at it, watching Zu Long step by step towards disappointment.

Even if he came to the top of the mountain and looked up at the flowing clouds in the sky, there was still no white-bearded immortal descending in front of the ancestral dragon.

The loss in Zu Long's heart is really on display.

At the same time of loss, there is endless anger.

Traveling tens of thousands of miles west, but it turned out to be a trip in vain, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Zu Long's emotions.

Ordinary people are angry and want to vent.

Not to mention the emperor.

The ancestral dragon wants to get angry, but this is a sacred mountain after all. He was worried about angering the immortals who might exist, so he could only hold back his anger in his heart.

Li Yunze, who had an insight into all this, shook his head again and again.

Zu Long was stunned, and was given the mentality of 'seeking immortality', and he was no longer the ancestral dragon who swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger and swept the world.

"If you continue like this, your time will be over."

Zulong, who was holding his breath here in Jiaozhou, ordered someone to send a holy decree to Su Jiao after he returned, ordering him to capture Luocheng within half a year.

Zu Long still had hopes, looking forward to the wolf god and many other gods in the legend of Luocheng that could bring him the dawn of hope.

Su Jiao naturally didn't dare to slack off here, after all, the emperor was thousands of miles away at this time, not tens of thousands of miles away before.

The sailors of the Qin State began to blockade the sea at any cost, even in the face of the arson ships that the Romans fought back, they were stubbornly resistant, and would rather die together than run away in a hurry.

There was no way, they had to escort the convoy transporting food and grass supplies and soldiers to the shore.

As the largest and most fertile land in the Extreme West Sea, the West Island has been called the core of Great Qin's control of the Extreme West Sea at this time.

After conquering Cairo, he crossed the Hanhai barren mountains all the way west, swept away Africa, Cyrenaica, and even the Qin general of Carthage, Shima, since crossing the sea to conquer the West Island a few years ago, it has become the core of Great Qin here.

He himself sat here, coordinated the mobilization of supplies and ships, and constantly crossed the sea to the land of boots to provide support to Su Jiao.

Shibuma himself likes Nishijima because the land is so fertile.

The volcanic ash left behind after the eruption has formed the most fertile soil of this era with the nourishment of time.

Similarly, it is the Dongying that is also a fertile soil for volcanic ash accumulation.

Don't look at the small area of the Dongying Plain, but because the land is fertile and the grain production is very high, otherwise it would not be possible to feed so many people in such a small area.

What's more important here in the West Island is that, like the fertile soil of the Nile Delta, it has been developed over the years and is all ripe land.

After the Qin army landed on the island, they quickly transported a large number of immigrants with their fleets, plus slaves found in the area.

It was first colonized by the Greeks and established the city.

As for the natives of the island, they were sold to various places by the Greeks and have long disappeared into the long river of history.

Later, it was the Phoenicians who took over the area, and they also sold the original Greeks everywhere.

In the end, the Romans came and sold the Phoenicians everywhere until the Qin came to the island.

This is the case here in Europa in this era, if you win, you are a slave owner, and if you lose, you are a slave.

I don't know how many nations and tribes have just disappeared into the long river of history.

In the second year after the Qin people landed on the island, they reaped a bumper harvest and no longer needed to transport grain from distant Egypt.

After all, they have three fertilizers, they have powerful iron farming tools, and the weather on the island is warm in spring and autumn, hot in summer, humid in winter, and abundant precipitation.

Coupled with the fact that the land was originally fertile and the grain production was so high, that even the serfs who were working frightened them.

After another year's bumper harvest, the grain harvest on the West Island will already be able to support the army to cross the sea to fight.

At this time, the average yield per mu of Europa is more than 100 catties and 200 catties.

The fertile West Island, when the wind and rain were good before, was two or three hundred, which is already a rare treasure in Europa in this era.

But the Qin people came over, and the three fertilizers plus farm tools plus intensive cultivation were directly promoted to more than four hundred!

As Shiruma walked among the fields and rejoiced in the harvest, a messenger came to him with a swift whip and brought him a message.

"Your Majesty is here."

Zulong's huge fleet docked in the largest harbor in the West Island.

Shiruma, who came to greet him, looked at such a large fleet of ships, and thought in his heart, 'If so many ships were not to defend His Majesty, but to be thrown into the war, where would those Romans still have the opportunity to attack in naval warfare, the war would have been won long ago.'" ’

The arrival of the ancestral dragon plunged the entire West Island into chaos.

In order to meet the ancestral dragon, he had to stop his farm work, pave the way to maintain the palace, and provide material support for the tens of thousands of followers.

Needless to say, it is clear that the autumn harvest in the West Island has been affected.

Li Yunze, who hadn't spoken to Zu Long for a while, finally took the initiative to find Zu Long at this time, and he only said one thing, that is, don't affect the autumn harvest here.

Even if it is the First Emperor, even if he has the power that everyone in the world fears, Zulong will not be self-respecting in this kind of thing.

He knows very well that food is everything, and without food there is nothing.

What will the leaders of the Qianqian who have no food do, and the ups and downs in various places have never been interrupted over the years.

Zu Long accepted Li Yunze's suggestion and stayed in his palace without going out.

Now the locals can finally grab the autumn harvest.

Li Yunze walked around a few times and saw a lot of white-skinned, dark-skinned, and yellow-skinned people busy in the fields.

In villages and towns, there are also many women of all colors busy with household chores.

An important impact of the large-scale westward expedition of the Qin people was that the world was clothed.

There are many mixed races that can be seen everywhere on the way to the west, and the old Qin people have no resistance to accepting foreign women.

It's the same for anyone who is blind in the dark, as long as they can do their work.

Li Yunze is very satisfied with these.

"National integration, national integration, this is the national integration we want, not to be integrated!"

War and looting, slaughtering men and snatching women, were the standard procedures of this era.

More than a month has passed, and the West Island, which has completed the autumn harvest, has finally quieted down.

A large number of freshly harvested grain and grass were loaded onto the fleet, and the huge fleet of Zulong sailed north to the port of Brindisi.

There is a saying in Rome that says, 'Roman generals cannot enter the city of Rome with their legions, except in a triumphal manner.' ’

The city of Rome is bordered by the Rubicon to the north and the port of Brindisi to the south.

At this time, the city of Rome was not yet in its heyday, and their legions relied mainly on rigorous training, excellent iron equipment, and the belief and morale of citizens to protect Rome.

Originally, the Romans of this era were fighting Hannibal to the death.

But no one expected that a giant dragon would suddenly come to the east.

In the beginning, the dragon advanced along the Afrikaner coastline, even taking Hannibal's old home.

The Romans immediately had a great impression of these Qin people, who were also black-haired and black-eyed, and wanted to be friends with the Qin people.

What I didn't expect was that the Qin people didn't need any allies at all, they just needed to conquer.

When the Romans and the Qin people fought, they were immediately beaten stupid.

Originally, I thought that Hannibal was Rome's worst enemy, but compared to the Orientals, it was not worth mentioning at all!

In the field, the losses of the Romans were not counted in numbers, but directly in the corps!

The morale of the Qin army was higher than theirs, as it was said to be the last decisive battle of the Western Expedition.

The training of the Qin army was stricter than theirs, because although most of the Qin army were already in their thirties and forties, they all fought all the way.

The Qin army was better equipped than them, at least when the Roman legions set up a dense formation and slowly advanced, the Qin army could directly crush them with the Qin cannon.

The cannonballs rushed into the dense crowd, and one shot was a bloody alley, and no one could stand it.

And when the legion escapes, absorbing the Parthian technology and making the Qin cavalry with armored cavalry, it will happily harvest and hunt.

After years of war, Rome was reduced to only one city.

The arrival of the ancestral dragon greatly boosted the morale of the Qin army.

They believed that this battle would be the last battle, and that they would be able to go home and live their lives after the battle.

After all, although there is a rotation system, it is more than ten years of continuous conquest to come out at a time, and I am really tired.

Zu Long came to the battlefield in person, and hundreds of ritual vessels let out a heaven-shattering cheer.

In the midst of the rumbling roar, the walls of Rome in the distance were gradually crumbling.

For Zulong, this was his last chance on his journey west.

If he hadn't been able to get the help of the wolf god here, he would have had to return to Xianyang City and reuse the monks to go out to the East China Sea to find the Immortal Mountain.

With the blessing of Zu Long's personal presence, the Qin army, whose morale was greatly boosted, successfully broke the city after three days of bombardment!
