The Three Kingdoms

"They all want to be the masters of the empire, so naturally they don't care about foreign enemies!"

Vologasino said calmly.

"Whether it's Macrinus or Sextu, they are too selfish!" Julius stared coldly: "So they chose to fight in the imperial capital when the eastern demons are overwhelming!"

He didn't mention Caracalla and Geta, because he knew in his heart that these two princes were a little capable in speaking, but they were too young after all, and they were nothing more than puppets in these political battles.

"What do we do now?"

Vologashino asked.

"Wait!"

Terrence said: "Your Majesty said that whoever can enter the city first will be his successor, the next emperor of the empire!"

They are all direct descendants of Severus.

Without their assistance, Severus' strategy of pretending to be dead would be impossible to hide from the sky.

Severus is a suspicious person. The Guards can guard the city of Rome, but every general of the Guards, no matter what their origin, is his absolute trust.

"I'm worried, whether the Alps can block the footsteps of the Eastern Devil!"

Vologashino said worriedly: "The Crusaders themselves have lost a lot of vitality in the eastern campaign, and the Parthian Legion has also been defeated by Pope St. Alvelli's big change of blood. Even if we The strongest defensive fortress that has been built in the Dolomites in advance, they may not be able to block the attack of the eastern demons!"

"I trust Dio!"

Terrence was silent for a while, and said: "What the empire lacks most now is time, and Dio will buy enough time for us!"

It will take time for the empire to calm down.

If the main force of the Eastern Devils drove straight in at this time, they would be defeated, and any plans would be aborted.

"What if the Eastern Devils divide their forces?"

As the most resourceful chief consul of the Guards Corps, Vologasino narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light shot out of his eyes: "Don't forget, it is not easy to go straight to the imperial capital from Milan to the province of Italy by detour. It takes too much time!"

"Gacino, what you can think of, His Majesty's Wisdom Group has already thought of it!"

There was a faint smile on the corner of Terrence's mouth, and said: "What do you think the Gallic Legion returned to the Italian Legion for? It was for this battle. When we returned to Rome, the Gallic Legion also quietly rushed to Milan City , the Gaul Legion will give them a surprise, His Majesty has made complete preparations for this battle, and will never allow any changes in this battle!"

"May God bless the Empire!"

Vologacino and Julius looked at each other and made a pious gesture one after another.

******************

On the outskirts of Rome, the Iron Blood Legion and the Apollo Legion fought for a full day.

The Jagged Legion is powerful.

But the Apollo Legion remained strong enough.

The two sides are somewhat indifferent.

But after a day of fighting, Makrinus was a little worried: "Sextu, the old fox, is too insidious. I didn't expect him to maintain such a strong strength in the battle in the east. It seems that he is not good now." Comparable, but in less than three days, our Iron Blood Legion will be at a disadvantage!"

The Jagged Legion has fought in the Eastern battlefield for several years, and the casualties are too great.

The base number of new recruits added over the years is also too large, and the combat effectiveness has dropped by several percent compared to before, so they lack resilience in the face of the Apollo Legion.

"Your Highness, you must obtain the support of the Guards as soon as possible!"

Macrinus now pins his hopes on Caracalla.

Only when Caracalla has the support of the Guards can the situation in Rome be established in one fell swoop.

……

When the two armies were fighting fiercely, Caracalla, who was supposed to be on the battlefield, had quietly left the outskirts of the city, leading the elite warriors of the [-] iron-blooded legion.

Under the darkness of night, they crossed the Tiber River, approached the northwest position of the city of Rome, and entered the scope of the Augustus Mausoleum.

The Mausoleum of Augustus is located in the northwest corner of the city of Rome. It is a hill with undulating hills that spans the inside and outside of the city of Rome, but it is a natural barrier connecting the left and right city walls.

"right here!"

In the cold night, three thousand soldiers crawled forward, and finally lined up in front of an arched stone gate. Caracalla gently opened the blueprint drawn by Macrinus in her arms, approached a torch, and looked at it carefully. , said: "The stone gates around here are all blocked dead doors, only this one is a living door, which can go straight to the depths of the mausoleum, Hunter, you go and open it!"

"Yes!"

This is a Germanic man from the Germanic province. He is tall and majestic, with a fierce face. He is a warrior under the command of Macrinus. He took a dozen guards, stepped forward, and pushed open the arched stone door.

"It really is here!"

Seeing a deep passageway inside, Caracalla showed a smile: "Light the torches, let's all go in, be careful!"

"Yes!"

The three thousand iron-blooded soldiers are the elite warriors of the Iron-Blooded Legion, and they are also the confidants of Macrinus, who faithfully executed Caracalla's orders.

The corridor was dark and damp, and only three people could walk side by side, so three thousand soldiers were lined up in two rows, with five people holding a torch, and slowly advancing under the faint light.

The entire mausoleum was built like a labyrinth. When Caracalla walked out of a long corridor, he saw three corridors heading in three different directions.

Fortunately, he had the guidance of Makrinus, so he did not get lost in the mausoleum.

It took one night for Caracalla and the elite soldiers of the Three Thousand Iron-Blooded Legion to walk out of the mausoleum and appear on the Mars Square in the city. It was already dawn at this time, the east was pale, and the sun was about to emerge...

Calitopi Hills.

in the castle.

An Er knelt in front of Severus, and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, Prince Caracalla entered the city last night!"

"Didn't they fight outside the city yesterday?"

"That's right, but Makrinus has been blocking it all the time. Caracalla has shed its shell, left the battlefield, and entered the imperial capital!"

"Where do you enter the city?"

Severus heard the words, his expression was calm, without the slightest surprise, he was so indifferent.

"The Mausoleum of Augustus!" Ann replied.

"Haha, he has a bit of courage!"
