    "Nigel, this bastard, not only escaped from the battle, but also lost several provinces one after another. It is simply a shame for us Romans!" In the core of the Western world, in the city of Rome, Arnubis's sonorous voice rang out in the Senate Chamber.  sound.  "What's the use of talking about this now?" Severus, who was a soldier and the founder of the Severan Dynasty in Rome, the governor of Pannoia, was sitting in the meeting hall wearing a gorgeous silk robe, looking at the meeting with disdain like a gorilla.  Arnubis, who was jumping up and down with his arms raised in the hall, glanced at him and said coldly.  The two people who were originally fighting to the death for the throne of the Roman Empire actually appeared in the Senate together. The only reason was that the threat of Gao Yang's expeditionary force to the Roman Empire had increased to such an extent that these two enemies had to  The point of joining hands.  After all, if the entire empire dies, what's the point of the throne they're fighting for?  "Hmph!" Arnubis, who was already at a disadvantage on the battlefield, couldn't be tough at this moment.  He himself was just a distinguished veteran.  Although he has strong support from the Senate, he is no match for Severus, who was born as a soldier and fought fiercely with barbarians for many years.  If it weren¡¯t for the massive invasion of aliens from far away, he might have been defeated at this moment.  In a way, Gao Yang's invasion actually helped him.  Of course, he would never say such words himself.  "Niger's matter must not be left alone." Seeing Arnubis admitting defeat in front of him, the proud look on Severus's face became more obvious.  He stood up slowly, holding the gorgeous robe in one hand and putting the other behind his back.  Looking around at the senators with sharp eyes, he shouted loudly, "Nigel disobeyed orders, failed to resist the invaders, and lost the province of Syria. Then he fled from the province of Egypt again. Throw away these two important provinces."  Gave it to an alien race. It also led to the death of Governor Jusius. We must severely punish him!" At this time, when the Roman Empire was facing a crisis, the Senate acted as a mediator to negotiate with the two governors competing for the throne.  After behind-the-scenes operations such as bargaining and exchange of benefits.  Severus and Arnubis came to an agreement.  The two became the new emperors of the Roman Empire and ruled together.  but.  The more powerful Severus was in the dominant position.  Both of them are thinking about getting rid of their opponents and taking over the power after this crisis is over.  But now we can only prepare secretly.  "That's right! That's right!" "We must punish him!" "Send him to the gallows!" "Take him back to Rome for trial!" "This damn bastard!" "Poor Eusius, his  My wife is still so young." "" A large number of elders in the meeting hall began to denounce Nigel.  From their tone of voice, it seemed as if Nigel was a heinous person and was destined to go to hell.  "But." Severus slowly raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.  After the meeting hall became quiet, he raised his chin and said proudly, "Although Nigel has committed a huge crime, we should give him another chance to atone for his sins. After all, he is also a glorious Roman."  "The Senate was extremely quiet, and everyone turned their attention to Severus, waiting for his next words.  Seeing this scene, Arnubis' hands clenched unnaturally.  "Give Nigel an order to send troops from Cyrenaica to attack Egypt." Severus said with a serious look. "It does not require that he can defeat the enemy's main army and regain the Egyptian province. As long as he can defeat the enemy's main army and regain the Egyptian province.  The main force of the alien army can atone for the crime he committed! If he can't!" Severu's eyes suddenly became sharp and he yelled, "Then he should be sent to the gallows!" It's not that Severu doesn't want to!  To move Nigel, it was just that after Nigel came to Cyrenaica, he used his huge army and a lot of wealth to bypass the governor of Cyrenaica.  The entire province of Cyrenaica was firmly in his hands.  Nigel now holds a large amount of wealth brought from Syria and Egypt, plus local tax revenue from Cyrenaica.  He can already support a large army.  This is an era of war, and no one can despise such a big man with a lot of troops.     at the same time.  Nigel's retreat along the way did not consume too many troops.  And after annexing the power of the province of Cyrenaica, Nigel already has ten Roman legions and four auxiliary legions in his hands.  There is also a military force composed of tens of thousands of local indigenous people.  This is an unusually large military force.  If it were normal times, Severus would personally lead the army across the sea to attack Nigel.  But at this time, the Roman Empire was facing an invasion from outside, and it was an invasion from an extremely powerful foreign enemy.  Even hardliners?Representative Severus could only choose to compromise temporarily.  "Then what should we do? When will we attack?" Seeing Severus pointing out the situation in the Senate, Arnubis became anxious and immediately stood up and shouted loudly, "We can't just sit here all the time, can we?"  Severus glanced at him disdainfully and said coldly, "We need to recruit new legions now to replenish our military strength. After the army is assembled, we will go to Asia Minor to eliminate the alien army. After defeating the flanking armies of the alien army, we will  Lead the main army from the Asia Minor peninsula into the Syrian province, cut off the logistics route of the main foreign army, and trap them in the Egyptian province together with Nigel's army! "This is a typical strategy of first making it easy and then making it difficult.  Severus determined who was the main force and who was the partial division based on the numbers of Gaoyang's two legions.  Zhang Liao's army, which was originally only fighting on the flanks, was regarded as the main army because of its large number of troops.  The high-speed assault Gaoyang Legion was treated as a flanking force.  The reason why Severus decided so.  Except for the number of troops.  Another important reason is the navy.  In the Mediterranean, the inner lake of the Roman Empire, the Roman Empire's fleet occupies an absolute advantage.  Severus simply did not believe that the foreign troops coming from afar could cross the vast sea and land in Macedonia or Greece under the obstruction of the Roman fleet.  If the legion in Asia Minor didn't make a big circle on the desolate grassland along the Black Sea.  Then they simply can't move on!  Severus¡¯s idea was not wrong.  No one would believe that such a huge army would have a powerful naval fleet when it invaded the empire!  The territory of the Roman Empire was so huge that it was extremely important that they had a powerful fleet.  Quickly transport troops through the fleet and control the sea.  The Roman Empire was able to conquer its enemies in all directions.  And even if their enemies were powerful enough to defeat the Roman legions, they could only feel helpless when they were on the coast.  Historically, the Romans were so desperate to fight the Carthaginians that they did not hesitate to break the contract and attack the Carthaginians even after the peace talks between the two parties.  The biggest reason is that the Carthaginians had navigation technology comparable to that of the Romans!  This is the existence that can truly threaten the core area of ??the Roman Empire.  Without a boat, if you wanted to walk to the city of Rome in this wilderness full of barbarians, you could only do it with the Germanic barbarians from the north.  At this moment, the alien army from the far east is extremely powerful and occupies a large amount of imperial territory.  But Severus and the others didn't actually care too much.  Because those places are just colonies.  As the true core of the Roman Empire, the city of Rome and its surrounding areas are still very safe!  Just when the senators agreed with Severus' plan and began to study the details of the battle in detail.  Everyone in the Senate was dumbfounded by an earth-shattering news.  "An alien fleet with thousands of warships appeared on the African coastline! Their flag is the same as the flag of the alien army that attacked the empire! Both are long monsters that look like sea snakes!" This information sent by the intelligence officer was in  In an instant, the decision-makers of the Roman Empire were fooled.  "This is impossible!!!" This is the roar from the heart of all the elders!  They did not believe that after the destruction of the Carthaginians, any nation would be able to possess such a terrifying fleet in the Mediterranean!  The elders were frightened.  With the sudden appearance of this terrifying fleet, the originally impregnable Mediterranean suddenly became perilous!  With such a powerful fleet, the Roman Empire was truly facing the threat of national subjugation!  Africa, the core region of the Roman Empire in North Africa.  From here, if you go to the sea and go north, you will be able to reach the core territory of the Roman Empire in a short time.  Various satellite cities and manors around Rome, Sardinia, Sicily and other places.  Since the Romans defeated Hannibal and destroyed the Carthaginians.  This became the heartland of the Romans.  Today, a huge fleet flying the golden dragon flag slowly passed the coastline under the horrified eyes of countless Romans.  "Oh God~" Looking at the white sails like clouds that cover the sky and the sun, looking at the huge fleet that can't be seen at a glance, looking at the majestic battleship as tall and solid as a city wall.  The Romans who saw all this didn't know what else to do except scream and pray.  The Roman fleet in Africa huddled in the port in fear, watching the alien fleet pass through its territorial waters in stunned silence.  They have absolutely no courage to fight.  "Father, these Daqin people are so strange." Young Sun Ce stood on the deck and looked at the distant coastline.  His good eyesight allowed him to see clearly the frightened people on the shore.     "worldIt's so big and full of surprises.  This is nothing.  "As the commander-in-chief of the fleet, Sun Jian, whose power remains undiminished even after a long voyage, responded with a smile. "Don't those Daqin people have navy?  Why haven't I seen anything along the way except a few small boats?  The bow and arrow in the child's hand can't wait.  "Sun Ce raised the strong bow in his hand and asked proudly.
