The evening sun will shine blood red on Rome, which has just gone through a brutal battle.

Walking through the devastated streets of the army, and witnessing the Roman civilians who had come out of their homes to celebrate after Emperor Caligula returned to the palace and declared peace in Rome, Will and his men who had followed him into Rome finally returned to the camp outside the city, which had been established by Richard to house three legions, but was now only stationed in a camp formed by the Holy Clan.

After discovering that the enemy was facing six standing legions that Richard was supposed to deal with, the legendary legion "Augustus", led by Caesar, took the lead in storming the palace, while the legendary legion "Golden Spear", under the command of his original legion, swept the streets of the senators and their men who had not had time to withdraw from the palace.

And when Caesar returned to the palace with the three hundred strong men who had surrendered, and watched them sign the contract of slavery in front of Caligula, the whole palace fell into a carnival...... with killing.

The nobles who had plotted against Emperor Caligula were all liquidated, and the men of their families were slaughtered, while the women were "properly" placed.

The generals who had been detained by Emperor Caligula, whether belonging to the Praetorian Guard or the unseen forces cultivated by Caligula himself, trembled and repented before Caligula, and were brutally executed in the square Julius, which had been swept out and could be used normally.

However, Richard did not attend the banquet that followed the victory, but after once again respectfully greeting the Emperor Caligula and his best wishes, he declared his merit insignificant, and in the final decisive battle, he did not even find the six standing armies, and at last he made a very ashamed appearance despite Caligula's persuasion, and led his people back to the camp outside the city, where they would depart tomorrow and return to their homeland.

This was planned by Richard......

"Father, I'm back......"

"Hmm...... Just come back, no other problems, right?"

"Don't worry...... Caesar was not here, he had just been promoted to godhood, and he had not yet mastered the abilities of other gods. ”

"That's good......"

"Huh?"

It was still the humble command post, and after hearing the affirmation of his eldest son Lewell, Richard finally breathed a sigh of relief, he stood up, came to Will's side, and asked with concern, "Are you not injured?"

"No, I just disappointed you......" from his father's concern silenced Will.

"No, it's not your fault, after all, no one knows that Caesar will suddenly become a god...... Moreover, it was my mistake, because I did not calculate that the soldiers would panic and flee after seeing Caesar...... Come, you see. Richard smiled and shook his head in explanation, and he leaned over to the only wooden table in the command post.

Will followed his father to the wooden table as well, after hearing his father's greeting.

On a wooden table, a map is spread out.

This is a map of the Roman Empire!

"Father...... This?"

"Look, child, our territory, here. ”

"Hmm...... Ivy Provincial ...... Of course I know, but, father, what are you asking me to look at?"

"Starting today, our territory will expand from one province in Ivy Province to three provinces!"

"Huh? What do you mean...... Isn't it?"

Will didn't hide the surprise on his face at all, this good news came too suddenly!

Richard looked at his excited eldest son with a smile, and his heart was full of joy.

"That's right, because of the merit of rescuing His Majesty the Emperor this time, under the persuasion of His Royal Highness Caesar, His Majesty the Emperor handed over the province of Clovis to the south of the province of Ivy and the province of Lan Dun to our family to govern...... What's more, he gave us the power to carve out territory for the Empire!"

"Huh, you mean, that power?"

"That's right, that power and development power that only those great nobles who have stood with the Julius family since the time of the Republic and gained their trust! This means that whether we expand to the east in the future, or to collect the barbarian territories to the north, or to reclaim the Warcraft Forest to the west, we will be recognized by the empire, and ...... Those territories, for the next hundred years, will be ours!"

At the end, Richard waved his hand excitedly and slapped the table, and Will couldn't hide the ecstasy on his face!

Caesar and Caligula did this, so that he and his father were duly rewarded...... And the trust from the royal family!

However, Will quickly withdrew the smile from his face, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Father, I have a question. ”

"Hmm? ”

"This time we helped Rome to win, so what should we do in the future? You know, we are the ...... in this conspiracy to overthrow Rome."

“......”

Will stopped saying the last few words, and Richard didn't stop smiling when he heard this.

"Don't worry, kid, trust me. ”

"Well, of course I believe you, father!"

"Whether it was the gods of Rome or the Lord of the Kingdom League...... They all got something that was enough to satisfy them. Of course, the biggest beneficiary is still us!"

A father's guarantee always brings the greatest sense of security to the child.

For Will, even more so.

Richard came to the window, leaned against the window, he looked out the window at the dead camp, and said confidently to Will: "Okay, bring this news to the people! Let them be happy and happy, this time, it has indeed made them tired! Oh, by the way, Will, there is one more thing for you, please." ”

"Ah, what's the matter?"

"Let Choi Ming tell Basso Natu to return to his new home as soon as possible, and the momentum they have created in Sunset Fortress can be stopped!"

"Got it!"

"Well, there's ...... Will, go to Archduke Grea tomorrow and bring Lemon back!Remember to prepare some gifts and tell him about the current situation in the Empire!"

"Yes! Father!"

Seeing off his eldest son with a smile on his face, Richard's face showed a solemn ......

......

"What??We've got two more provincial fiefs?!"

"What??We have gained the power to carve out territory for the Empire?!"

"What? You're going to pick up Young Master Li Meng tomorrow?"

Question after question, and Will only responded with a smile, after dealing with the group of clansmen who were already reveling, Will could no longer hold back his impatience, and ran to the ink shadow who guarded the temporary warehouse of the Holy Clan, and chose the gift to take to the Sicilian Province, the Grand Duke of Glia.

It's been a long time since he's seen his own brother, Li Meng!

"Well, jewelry, the Grand Duke should not be lacking...... But then again, when did these jewels get scavenged? It must have something to do with Ink Shadow......

"Tsk, this painting, "Twilight of the Gods", depicts a scuffle between the gods of the north hundreds of years ago...... It is also said that it is a Greek legend...... Anyway, don't bring it......"

"Alas...... What do you bring...... In short, to satisfy the Grand Duke...... Now that we've succeeded, there's no need for Li Meng to stay there as a hostage!"

Will kept muttering to himself, and he made no secret of the excitement on his face, chuckling quietly at the ink shadow guarding the door of the warehouse...... Lord Will only shows this when he faces his dearest brother.

A light breeze blew, and Mo Ying instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and his brow furrowed, but he quickly relaxed, because he knew who was coming......

Cui Ming!

That's right, only Cui Ming, the butcher, would be so reckless!

Just when Mo Ying was about to open his mouth to remind, mixed with a burst of violent blood, Cui Ming instantly appeared behind Will.

"Hey...... That's not bad either...... Well...... Wait a minute...... Cui Ming?!"

Will turned around in surprise, and when he realized that it was Choi Ming who suddenly appeared behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to smile and choose the gift he would bring to the Grand Duke tomorrow.

"Will, what are you doing here? When you left the battlefield...... But you didn't tell me...... I've slaughtered the last few of those soldiers......"

There was a rare look of anger on Cui Ming's face, but Will was still immersed in the ecstasy of seeing his brother, and he didn't have time to care about Cui Ming's feelings......

"Hmm...... This little man with moving joints...... I'm afraid it was taken back from some noble family...... Ink Shadow, good job! Bring it to my brother tomorrow!uh...... Cui Ming, what did you just say?"

Will turned his head a little embarrassed, only to find that Cui Ming's face had darkened......

Suddenly, Cui Ming sighed, as if he had no way to take Will, and shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, you better continue to choose gifts...... Are you talking about Li Meng? That little guy, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'll go with you tomorrow, right?"

"Ahh......h

I didn't want to see Will, who played my brother's face to the fullest, Cui Ming reluctantly took a few steps back, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, he always felt that something was missing here, but he couldn't say it.

After a while, Cui Ming patted his head, turned his head to Moying, and asked, "Moying, Hattori Chiyo...... Where's that little one? Isn't she sticking to Will all day?"

After hearing the name of Hattori Chiyo, Moying was also stunned for a moment, yes, I haven't seen you for a long time!

At this time, there was a messy footstep outside the warehouse, and Hattori Chiyo, whose face had turned gray, broke straight in, she looked at Will, who still didn't notice her, and said coldly: "My men and I have emptied the Roman library! They have secretly transported those precious books to their new home, our methods are very clean, please rest assured, the Romans will not notice that we did it......"

After Chiyo Hattori finished speaking, he stood obediently behind Will, and then deliberately lowered his head......

Mo Ying and Cui Ming knew her actions...... However, her expectations may be disappointed......

"Ah, Chiyo, when are you here? Hehe, look, how about this thing for Li Meng when the time comes?"

Will, who had already changed the object of the gift to his younger brother Li Meng, did not notice that Hattori Chiyo's face was getting darker and darker......
