    Another winter is coming.  Apennines, Rome.  The Grand Arena.  A bloody battle between prisoners of war and small groups of prisoners of war was going on. The two sides of the battle were the Thracians on one side and the Gauls on the other. These two nations were physically strong and barbaric by nature, and they had been at constant war with Rome.  , and their prisoners of war were sent to the arena to participate in duels, which has been a fixed entertainment item for the Roman nobles for many years.  The center of the circular venue.  The brutal killing was coming to an end. Two Thracians faced off against one Gaulish. The Thracian side had the upper hand in terms of numbers. However, one of them was seriously injured and had difficulty moving. He might die at any time, while Gao  Although there is only one Lu Ren left, he has a broken sword in his hand.  Although the sword is broken, it is still sharp.  In this endless fight, only one person can survive in the end. This is a rule set by the Romans.  In a box in a corner of the arena.  An important meeting related to Rome's foreign policy is being held.  Scipio, who had been in the consul position for two years, finally took control of the actual power of the entire Executive Yuan and Senate. The Fabian forces were almost completely expelled and replaced by the emerging power represented by Pompey and Eunice.  Representative of city-state forces.  Pompeii is a satellite town of Rome. This town built in the eighth century BC is located at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. The active volcanic ash makes the land near Pompeii rich in nutrients, which is very suitable for the growth of Mediterranean grapes and other crops, but  The so-called blessing and misfortune, the final eruption of Mount Vesuvius.  This place of developed civilization was also buried.  ??Glaius Pompey came from this city.  No one can check whether he has any blood relationship with Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus, the three chariots of the Roman Empire in history. However, with the joining of young forces such as Pompey and Eunice, Scipio was alone  After fighting against the conservative forces of the elders for a long time, he finally had his own allies, which made him confident in the confrontation with Qin.  The formation of the Big Three gave Scipio a companion to express his thoughts to.  And the package plan he proposed to deal with Qin urgently needs the support of Pompeo and Younis.  The chief VIP box in the arena is the best place for private discussions.  "Two, according to reliable information, the Qin State has ended its conquest of India. Our allies are finished. Next. The evil dragon from the East will definitely extend its claws to the west coast of the Mediterranean. Therefore, for the sake of the Great Rome  , for freedom and democracy, for justice and glory. We can only take up arms and defeat the invaders¡ª¡ª!" Scipio's voice was low and powerful, just like his stern face, after experiencing the first confrontation with Qin.  , he already has a deeper understanding of this big country from the east.  The vast territory was several times the population of Rome.  There were also countless riches that the newly emerging Roman Republic did not possess.  "Grand Consul, after a year of preparation, we have mobilized 300,000 men, including: 100,000 troops belonging to the standing army, and nearly 100,000 mercenaries from Gaul and Iberia. In addition,  There are about 100,000 troops in the second line of defense in each town. These forces are our maximum strength." Opposite Scipio, his deputy Pompey lowered his head and replied while looking at the information at hand.  Pompeii is actually not young anymore. He is around forty, the father of two children, and the manager of the liberalized town of Pompeii. It is his first time to enter the decision-making body, and he is mainly responsible for dispatching baggage. For Scipio's  Decision-making, Pompey stated the actual situation in Rome.  "Eunice, what do you think?" Scipio turned his head and asked the young man next to him with his blue eyes.  Younes Milan, who comes from the Milan Plateau in the north, is the youngest of the Big Three. He comes from a noble family in Milan and has been called a genius since he was a child. On the battlefield, Younis is always very capable.  A wise idea also helped the Roman army win many victories.  "Grand Consul, if we want to deal with the Qin people, we need to give full play to our advantages. The total strength of 300,000 troops is enough for the Roman army that aims to defend the Alps and the Iberian Peninsula, but it wants to  Defeating the Qin people was not enough, so the general thought that winning by surprise was the best way." When Eunice said this, he paused deliberately and waited until Scipio and Pompey asked him.  When he looked at me, he showed off again: "The Qin army has only two ways to attack the Apennine Peninsula. One is to cross the Alps and attack our Milan Highlands; the other is to join forces with Hannibal from the Carthage area on the southern coast of the Mediterranean."  Ba's army attacks Iberia. No matter which path they choose, what we have to do is never to be passively beaten, but to attack and attack again to severely defeat the arrogance of the Qin people. Therefore, the two consuls  ,?"Younis has decided that in three days, our 30,000 soldiers will cross the mountains and march secretly towards the Danube Plain. Our mission is to continuously attack the Qin people's rear supplies, leaving them overwhelmed and unable to advance westward!"  " Eunice spoke generously. His self-confidence deeply infected Scipio and Pompey. Eunice decided to go deep into the northern Visigoths, Saxons, and Germans alone. The danger can be imagined, but  Younis is very familiar with the topography of this area, and he also has rich experience in dealing with these primitive barbarian peoples. The Qin army drove the Germans and Slavs to move westward, and the Romans also developed their own  Strength. Use and be used. This is the inevitable fate of being weak. In the eyes of the Romans, the barbarians in the north were enslaved by them, just like the Thracians in the Balkans.  They are powerful but have no brains. They are destined to be miserable little people in the arena for people to make fun of. Once the 30,000 people in Younis are spread out, it is likely to form a coalition of hundreds of thousands of primitive tribes. If it can really happen.  , Rome was no less than a sharp blade on the flank of the Qin army¡¯s attack. ¡°Younis, have you really decided?  Did you know how powerful your opponents are, coming from across the continent and armed with formidable new weapons?  "Scipio asked with bright eyes, staring at his young companion. The worry in his words was completely different from the hope shining in his eyes. "Grand Consul, the new weapon you are talking about refers to that  Grow explosive pottery?  I think I have found its weakness. Qin people will not use it as long as it is rainy.  Is this a coincidence or does it not work on rainy days?  Pompeo suddenly raised his head and spoke out his long-term research. With repeated use, Tianlei gradually lost its mystery, and its limitations were also analyzed and mastered by opponents. Facing Rome, which also had a complete system,  , Da Qin¡¯s journey to the west was by no means easy.
