Chapter 560: The city is on fire! 【Ask for votes】

Egypt.

In the city of Alexandria, the light in the main palace of the palace was a little dim.

Ptolemy VIII, the Egyptian pharaoh, was wearing a white robe and his somewhat bloated body was sitting in his chamber.

Huo Qubing gave him a task to consult many ancient scrolls in Egyptian history to find the truth of some things.

The palace was very quiet, except for Ptolemy VIII.

He was examining a slate.

Most of the earliest documents and information were engraved on stone slabs.

Egypt is one of the proven origins of human civilization.

The stone slab in front of him is said to be a sacred object left by the gods after the creation of the world. It has been passed down from generation to generation in the hands of the Egyptian pharaohs for thousands of years.

Many of the things predicted on this tablet came true one by one.

Including how many dynasties Egypt will experience and the exact time of the change of kingship.

Every time Ptolemy VIII saw it, he would have a feeling of emotion. It was hard to believe that this was something that could have been foreseen thousands of years ago, and he also believed in the power of the gods.

time flies.

Ptolemy VIII was immersed in the process of reading the slate, when he suddenly felt a warning sign.

He suddenly turned around, and a sharp needle-like weapon stabbed out from behind him. It was a thin sword, very thin, trembling like a hair, and its landing point was unpredictable.

In a flash.

The moment Ptolemy VIII turned around, a black spot appeared between his eyebrows, and he was pierced by a strange thin sword.

He stumbled and sat down.

Behind the rapier, a figure stepped out holding the Book of God's Favor in his hand.

"Breaking the covenant with me, Rome, and assassinating me with the divine followers of the God of Assassins. How powerful is it?"

The other party said coldly: "The great elder asked me to greet you."

At this moment, the wound between Ptolemy VIII's eyebrows was closed.

The scepter beside him shot out a ray of light, like a spear carrying death, piercing into the opponent's body from the lower abdomen.

Ptolemy VIII stood up from the ground, with a stern smile on his fat face.

He became Huo Qubing's resurrected body, and resurrecting a corpse can bring people back to life and restore their injuries.

The moment he was stabbed between the eyebrows by the opponent, the power of the corpse-resurrection weapon came into play to protect him from death.

After Ptolemy VIII stood up, his hands glowed, promoting Egypt's national destiny.

His left hand was as black as ink, and the shadow behind him turned into a tall and thin god with a jackal's head.His right hand is as bright as the golden sun, and his hands correspond to life and death, light and darkness.

An invisible force weakened the opponent's vitality like a curse.

The assassin sent by the great elder did not expect that someone could survive being stabbed between the eyebrows, and was caught off guard.

"...The Grand Senator will not allow you to live, and there is no point in escaping my assassination."

The sound weakens and the opponent dies.

But at the same time, there were rapid footsteps outside. An attendant came in and was shocked when he saw the assassin lying dead on the ground:

"Pharaoh, Iomituo, and Laceros were released by someone unknown, and they are leading their troops into the palace."

Ptolemy VIII's expression changed slightly.

His children with Cleopatra III, and even others related to Cleopatra III, were imprisoned or killed by him after he left.

Cleopatra III has been in power in Egypt for a long time, and no one knows how many arrangements she made.

Ptolemy VIII controlled the relevant personnel after the other party left, fearing that the other party would launch a coup and seize Egypt.This was very frequent in Egyptian history, including when Ptolemy VIII himself became pharaoh and experienced more than one similar power struggle.

The first step was for the Grand Senator to send assassins to kill him.Then let people take over Egypt and continue to control Egypt is the second step.

Historically, Lasseros, who was released at this time, was the Pharaoh Ptolemy IX, the king of Egypt after Ptolemy VIII.

He was also the son of Ptolemy VIII and Cleopatra III.

Although Cleopatra III is gone, her influence in Egypt has not been completely erased.

And with the support of Rome behind the opponent, it will never be eliminated so easily.

Ptolemy VIII looked gloomy and strode out.

That night in Egypt, there were many changes surrounding the struggle for royal power.

On the battlefield in Asia Minor, the Han army reorganized.

Huo Qubing issued a new order: "Advance westward, take over the entire Seleucid territory, and behead all the Romans in the territory.

Inform the Seleucid royal family in Ctesiphon to come over and stabilize the situation in Seleucid. "

King Hunxie, Zhao Ponu and others agreed in unison.

Huo Qubing himself led three thousand champion guards, rode westward, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

King Hunxie asked Zhao Ponu who was beside him: "Why is the prince going west? After fighting this battle, don't we have to retreat to Taixi Feng to rest?"

"It's not the prince's idea that you want to rest."

Zhao Ponu: "The prince said that the war has just begun.

If the Romans thought that the prince would withdraw his troops after defeating these three legions, they would suffer a big loss. "

Huo Qubing had conquered many countries in the past, and the battle in which three legions were completely annihilated was not considered a great victory for him.

King Hunxie smashed his mouth.

In Huo Qubing's battles, people have always been unable to see through the purpose of the battle, so he was able to defeat the enemy unprepared.

The night is getting darker.

Huo Qubing led his troops all the way to the west, and unexpectedly returned to the secret port where he had found the commander of the Third Army, Pigletface, and his troops landed.

And, there is a ship waiting here.

There are people embroidering clothes on the boat!
"Yao Zhao, you lead the troops to march on the shore, cooperate with me, and advance to the northwest."

After Huo Qubing said this, he boarded the ship and set sail to sea.

Yao Zhao led the remaining troops and marched northwest along the coastline according to Huo Qubing's instructions.

Huo Qubing actually used the route of the Roman Third Legion that landed last night, the gorge that was barely passable by ships, to enter the sea area where the Romans were heavily fortified.

Early morning.

The ship arrived at a position close to the east coast of the Aegean Sea under the cover of the concealed military strategy.

A fortress was built on the steep mountain near the coastal cliff ahead.

It is located east of the Thracian Strait and at the northeast corner of the Roman border.

Huo Qubing had come before and led his troops to defeat the Roman fortress of Adlicia overnight.

The Adellician Fortress, located in the narrow strait between Thrace and Asia Minor, is divided into east and west parts. The two military fortresses face each other far away, collectively known as the Adellician Fortress, guarding the safety of the Roman mainland.

The last time Huo Qubing broke through was the military fortress on the east coast.After that, the Romans once again strengthened the defense of the fortress, deployed heavy troops, and repaired the destroyed city defenses.

They also strengthened the connection between the fortresses on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and there were many ships cruising along the coast to facilitate rapid support.

At this moment, Huo Qubing came to Adlich's army again.

Defeating the three Roman legions and recovering the lost territory of Seleucus was just the prelude to the war.

Huo Qubing prepared to attack the Roman mainland overnight.

And the fortress built by the Romans should be used as the vanguard fortress for the Han army's subsequent western expedition to Rome.

Huo Qubing disappeared from the ship and entered the fortress on the east coast of Adlicia.

Yao Zhao and others who were riding on the shore arrived at the same time, preparing to launch an offensive.

The strategic location of the Adlicia military fortress was the dividing point and outlet for Rome's eastward march and the Han army's westward march. It was a top priority.

The naturally steep terrain became the best barrier for the Romans.

Huo Qubing launched the offensive to seize the fortress at this point after the war, which was the most unexpected time for the Romans.

The means deployed by the great senator were to deal with Egypt and Macedonia at the same time outside of the frontal battlefield.

But he didn't expect Huo Qubing to use his troops so quickly.

After dark, when the Grand Elder returned to his residence to practice his divine power, he was awakened from his practice by a rapid knock on the door.

The attendant's report let him know about the Adlicia Military Fortress and a new war broke out.

The great elder felt lost for a moment.

He walked out of the room and looked east.

His sight passed through the space, and his divine power circulated, and he saw that side of the world, with the flames of war rising into the sky.

However, the details of the Han army's capture of the Adliciya military fortress were obscured by a force. It was Huo Qubing who disrupted Tianshu in order to prevent them from being alert in advance.

For the first time, a look of uncertainty appeared on the Grand Elder's face.

At his level, he is good at planning, has many backup options, and does not care about temporary gains and losses.

Even the loss of three legions did not move the Grand Elder.

However, the Han army attacked the Adlicia military fortress overnight.

The Grand Elder had no idea in advance that Huo Qubing would attack so swiftly and violently, so he came over that night with his troops facing forward, and the whole city was on fire!

What worries him is that he cannot clearly see Huo Qubing's military strategy!

Not being able to see clearly means being unable to respond effectively and being completely passive.

"How is Adlicia doing now?"

The great senator turned around and walked towards the meeting hall, asking as he walked.

"I don't know. The news I received only said that it was attacked by the Han army without mentioning the specific situation." The attendant said.

The Grand Elder quickly entered the meeting hall.

The president's case here is imprinted with the mountain and river geography of Rome, and is similar to the Han Dynasty's map of the country.

The great elder activates his divine power here, and can see every border of Rome without consuming much divine power.

When he came in, the void created waves, and an old man with a stern face and brown curly hair appeared simultaneously. He was the head of the Augustus family, the head of the four oldest surnames in Rome.

At the same moment, the new consul Gaius Marius also appeared in the palace.

The great elder extended his hand to press the long case.

A picture of divine power appeared on the desk again.

The skyrocketing fire!
Cries of killing and flashes of swords.

Under the influence of divine power, the Grand Elder could still hear loud thunder-like noises, one after another, extremely dense.

But the details of the battle are still invisible.

Huo Qubing promoted various military strategies to cover up the use of troops for this raid and interfere with the Roman exploration.

From the divine power screen, it can only be seen that the Han army has occupied the east bank of the Adlicia military fortress.They then crossed the narrow strait and launched an offensive against another part of the fortress on the west coast.

The main theme is a lightning-fast one.

"How could they fight so fast!"

The head of the Augustus family said: "The Adlicia military fortress is so strong that it cannot be easily conquered."

Grand Elder: "In addition to the fact that the commander-in-chief of the Han army is a demigod, there is also the war artifact they have in their hands.

I have been prepared for this kind of weapon before, and added an oracle wall in the fortress on the front line.

But if they bombard too frequently and continuously, especially if a war demigod is involved, they may not be able to stop their offensive. "

"The newly obtained information says that the Han army used this kind of war artifact when they attacked Egypt. There are more weapons than we knew before."

"This kind of weapon was probably made by the Han people, and the number will continue to increase."

The face of the head of the Augustus family changed several times.

The great senator said: "Be prepared for the worst. If Adlicia is blocked overnight, the eastern and western parts will be captured by the Han army. Tomorrow morning, the Han army may land in the Thrace province.

Notify the entire territory of Thrace to be ready for battle, and dispatch the armies on the northern and northwest fronts to advance eastward and enter Thrace to deal with the Han army. "

An attendant hurried to deliver the order.

But another attendant was coming in from the outside: "Report, north of the province of Gaul, the Germanic tribes have launched another offensive and declared war on us."

The great senator was stunned.

Gaius Marius was also stunned.

The head of the Augustus family was also stunned, his head buzzing.

There were many mineral properties in the province of Gaul, owned by the Augustus family, and they were also important raw material mining sites for Roman armaments.

At this time, the Germanic tribes once again raised their troops to attack. How well did they cooperate with the Han army at the right time?

It was as if the two parties had discussed it beforehand.

If the two sides really cooperated, the matter would be more serious.

The elders looked at each other.

Before the war started, Huo Qubing asked Song Ran how the embroidery was going.

Song Ran said that the other party had independently resisted the oppression of Rome for many years. It was rare for someone to cooperate, so naturally he was willing.

At that time, it was referring to the connection with the Germanic tribes.

An enemy of an enemy is a friend.

The Grand Elder had arrangements, and Huo Qubing did the same.

At this moment, war broke out in the military fortress in the northeast corner of Rome and the province of Gaul in the northwest corner.

The anger in the Grand Senator's eyes flashed away, and suddenly the void broke through, and he finally left Rome in person and rushed in one direction.
