Chapter 195: Shrinking into the Abyss
As elsewhere, under the bombardment of the Xiangyang artillery of the Chu army and the onslaught of the servant army, which did not care for their lives, Rome lasted less than half a day before falling. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Romans, who were tall, strong, and brave, fought tenaciously in the streets. However, the infantry of the Chu army was personally trained by Gao Shun, and a team of 1,000 people formed countless trapping camps, using the advantages of equipment and skillful cooperation with each other to make up for the physical gap and cut down those tall Romans one by one in a pool of blood.
The street fighting lasted almost two hours and ended with the complete collapse of the Romans.
Wei Xuan felt the strong smell of blood in the air, and couldn't help frowning slightly, but in the end he waved his hand vigorously and said, "Order, plunder for three days!"
The capture of the famous city of Rome, the Chu army also paid a heavy price, with nearly 300,000 casualties among the servant army and more than 10,000 casualties among the elite of the Chu army. Although this number was almost negligible compared to the casualties of the Romans and the servant army, it still made the Chu soldiers who had attacked the city and plundered the city very easily along the way feel a trace of anger, and these anger would be vented ten times more on the Roman nobles and commoners in the city. For the victors, it was originally a carnival and feast that belonged to them.
Wei Xuan did not participate in this carnival, but quietly hid his body and went to find the boundary gate. Now looking for the boundary gate, Wei Xuan is already familiar with the road, and soon comes to a new world. He didn't make any stops in that new world, and immediately returned to Rome in the mirror plane, and then went to check a new piece of information that came to his mind, and suddenly his face was full of surprise.
This information records the Thirty-six Paths of Divine Power Hidden Abyss, which means that Wei Xuan has just been to a big world, ranking thirty-second, and Wei Xuan named it Heavenly Prison World.
The so-called Abyss Shrinkage is actually an advanced version of the art of earth practice. It is also the same as the earth escape, the art of earth walking is to walk underground, while the abyss shrinks the land is different, as long as the cultivation is high enough, it can be completely instantaneous. With Wei Xuan's current cultivation in the Black Iron God Fetal Realm, of course, it is impossible to move thousands of miles in an instant, but can only move a mile or two away in an instant.
Still, it's powerful enough. An instant is a unit of time shorter than a second, and even if it moves one mile per second, it can move 3,600 miles in an hour. In other words, if Wei Xuan wanted to return to Xiangyang from Rome, it would only take ten hours. Of course, Wei Xuan didn't need to rush back to Xiangyang now, but the Hidden Abyss Shrinking Divine Power could help him find all the borders of Asia, Africa, and Europe in a day or two.
It takes a lot of source power to use the Hidden Abyss Shrinking Earth Divine Power, but Wei Xuan has a large number of spirit stones in his hands, and the aura is strong in this era, and he has also mastered the Nine Breaths Serving Qi Divine Power, and the consumed source power can be quickly replenished, and there is not much obstacle to him finding the boundary gate.
Mastering the Divine Power of Shrinking the Abyss, Wei Xuan was overjoyed. He didn't even have time to explain to Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others, so he started a new round of journey to find the boundary gate.
Three days later, he returned to Rome. This time, he found the twenty-six realm gates in one go, and mastered the 36 Ways of Divine Power: Reversing Yin and Yang, Returning to the Heavens and Returning to the Sun, Drawing the River into Land, Five Elements of Great Escape, Flying Body, Descending the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger, Mending the Sky and Bathing the Day, Flowers Blooming Instantly, and the Seventy-two Kinds of Magic's Exorcision of the Gods, Cloth Mist, Spitting Flames, Divine Travel, Inviting Immortals, Soul Dementors, Sending Staffs, Swordsmanship, Spraying, Autopsy, Shifting Scenes, Qi Forbidden, Obstacle, Guidance, Sprouting, Violent Sun, Knowing Time, and Knowing the Earth.
Some of these supernatural powers and spells are dispensable to Wei Xuan, while others are very practical. For example, the soul dementor is to devour the soul, and the divine fetus of Wei Xuan's cultivation has this ability itself, so this spell is dispensable. And like the Five Elements Great Escape, it is more useful, and after learning this magical power, Wei Xuan no longer has to worry about accidents such as hitting the steel plate when he escapes on the ground.
Of course, most of the supernatural powers and spells have their own uses. Reversing yin and yang can make day and night switch to each other, flying can allow Wei Xuan to fly without the sword, flowers bloom in an instant not only can make flowers bloom immediately but also make the enemy's life pass quickly until they die of old age, Shenxing can make the divine sense swim in the void, and swordsmanship can make the blade fight on its own.
......
After returning to Xiangyang, Wei Xuan had lost the motivation to continue conquering Asia, Europe, and Africa, and his goals were only the Americas and Australia. After four years of preparation, the ocean-going sailors located in Jiangdong have also reached a considerable scale and have the basic conditions to cross the vast sea.
Wei Xuan immediately ordered the three armies to assemble and return to the court.
The generals looted a lot along the way, robbed a lot of money, how could they stop now, and they were puzzled: "Lord, Rome has not yet been exhausted, why did you collect troops?"
Guo Jia obviously thought longer than them, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that something happened in the Central Plains?"
Wei Xuan said with a smile: "The soldiers have been away from home to fight for more than a year, and they should miss their wives and children." ”
Lu Bu was cold by nature, and said nonchalantly: "It's not that there are no women here, what kind of wife and children do you want!"
Wei Xuan only announced the order, instead of discussing it with them, and waved his hand directly: "This king's decision has been decided, you don't need to discuss it again, order the three armies to pack up and leave tomorrow morning!"
......
In fact, Wei Xuan now wants to return to Xiangyang, and he can really do it at dawn and evening. But if he returns alone, the 400,000-strong army will be leaderless, and it is likely that there will be civil strife. Moreover, he returned alone, and it was easy to give birth to rumors of the defeat of the expeditionary force within the Han Dynasty, which made hundreds of thousands of families sad and hesitant, causing turmoil. Therefore, Wei Xuan would rather calm his eagerness and lead the army to join the class.
On the other hand, after Wei Xuan returned to Xiangyang, he would immediately lead the sailors to go on an expedition, which was another year or two, and there were still many unstable factors in his army, and he also needed to deal with these unstable factors along the way. The most unstable factor is Lu Bu. Lu Bu is greedy for money and lustful, and forgets his righteousness when he sees profit, except for Wei Xuan, I'm afraid no one can suppress him.
Of course, since Lü Bu surrendered, he has also made a lot of contributions, Wei Xuan naturally will not forcibly punish him, so he made him a Roman marquis, and all the places in Rome that have been captured by the Chu army are under his jurisdiction, and it is up to him to decide whether he will kill or take him.
Lu Bu was suddenly overjoyed, and asked repeatedly: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses the prince left for the last general?"
Obviously, half of Rome could not satisfy Lü Bu's appetite, as long as Wei Xuan left him enough soldiers and horses, he would continue the northern expedition, and even after occupying the whole of Rome, he would not stop expanding, and would sweep across Europe.
Of course, Wei Xuan couldn't give him too many soldiers and horses, so he just muttered: "This king can only give you 20,000 elite soldiers, and choose from among the soldiers who voluntarily stay here." In addition, an additional 200,000 servants were allocated. ”
Lu Bu hesitated: "If no one is willing to stay, won't the last general have no soldiers available?"
