The Three Kingdoms

"The First Thracian Army has been completely annihilated. General Angela led thousands of remnants and fled to the Dolomites Fortress!" the spies reported.

"Damn Angela!"

William's eyes were cold: "I think highly of him!"

"What should we do now?" Caracalla doesn't have the power of his father Severus. At this juncture, he can't control the soldiers and horses at all. The opinion of the commander-in-chief of the army.

"They can't run!"

Chucks said: "We still have Milan City and the Dolomites Fortress, and we still have a chance to block them!"

"But the more important thing now is to judge in which direction they will break through!"

William said quietly.

"This question is very important!" Caracalla also nodded.

"Report to His Royal Highness, according to the news from Gaul, there is a large part of the main force of the Eastern Devils in the Gaul province!" Intelligence Officer An Er said.

"You mean, they're going to break out west!"

Dio said in a low voice.

"Probably!"

"I prefer them to go east!" Macrinus said in a low voice: "They are more familiar with the east road. At this time, it is better to go east instead of going west!"

The generals also fell into thinking, thinking about whether the main force of the eastern demons should break through to the east or west.

[Text 530 Chapter [-] Bloody Battle Breakthrough [-]]

In the hall, all the generals spoke one after another and expressed their opinions. Some people thought that the eastern demons would surely break through to the east, while others thought they would break out to the west. Opinions were very different and they could not agree.

General Chucks and William, the leader of the three armies, looked at each other in silence, and they had clearly made up their minds.

"I'm heading east!"

"I'm heading west!"

The two said in unison.

Their current military strength is not very strong, but if they add local obstacles, it is enough to wipe out the main force of the eastern demons here. They don't want to let go of the east and west, because they don't want to let a demon go out of the Roman territory.

Now that the two have made a decision, the remaining generals have nothing to say.

After all, most of the troops are now in the hands of the two.

"Your Highness, I have a request at the end!"

"General Chucks, please speak!" Although Caracalla is the coach in name, he has not yet been crowned. After all, he is not the Lord of Rome. He can only rely on the support of Chucks and William.

"Milan City and the Dolomites Fortress may not be able to stop the Eastern Demon. Once the Eastern Demon breaks out, we want to pursue it and need help from somewhere, so I implore His Royal Highness to give the world a holy will!"

Chucks cupped his hands and said to Caracalla: "From now on, the gates of the cities belonging to the empire will be closed immediately. Governors of various provinces and city lords of various places can freely form troops and horses to defend the city and resist the footsteps of the eastern demons!"

"Your Excellency, this holy will is not easy to make. In this way, wouldn't the empire let city lords from all over the world have soldiers and horses?"

Caracalla frowned slightly upon hearing this.

He is not a fool. As the eldest son of Severus, although he has been overshadowed by the glory of Severus, the pioneer of the majestic strategy, his city strategy is actually the best among the young generation. .

He is very clear that if this order is implemented, it may be possible to quickly form a situation where the whole people encircle and suppress the Eastern Demon from the territory of the entire empire, trapping the Eastern Demon in a huge encirclement.

But there is also a downside for imperial rulers.

That would be tantamount to distributing the military power of the empire. As the saying goes, it is easy for them to form soldiers and horses, but it is too difficult to disband their soldiers and horses, which is not good for long-term rule.

Once you have military power, you have the power to rebel. The position of the emperor is not exclusive to their Severus family.

Severus also relied on the chaos of the empire to rely on the military power of the governor of Pannonia, support himself and ascend to the throne of the emperor.

So Caracalla didn't really want the local city lord to have military power.

"Your Highness, the eastern demons are the great enemy of the empire. My lord, if I can't wipe out the main force of these demons, I will definitely give them a chance to make a comeback. In private, my majesty will die under the devil's butcher knife. If I can't repay this Enemy, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the coronation of His Highness the Prince!"

William said in a low voice.

At this time, all the rules should give way to the campaign to encircle and suppress the eastern demons. Only by encircling and suppressing the whole people can they be sure to completely block these oriental demons within the territory of Rome and prevent them from leaving the country.

As for the others, it is also possible to wait until they have dealt with the Eastern Devils, and then slowly clean them up.

But Caracalla is still a little reluctant. Compared with Severus, his selfishness is more serious, or he does not have the courage of Severus to fight for the world. What he cared about earlier was whether the throne is stable or not.

So he didn't want to open it.

Macrinus came up and persuaded in a low voice, "Your Highness, the overall situation is the most important thing!"

Caracalla knew that Macrinus was reminding him that he had not yet been crowned and enthroned, so he must not disobey Chucks and William at this time. After all, they hold the military power of the empire. If they choose to support Gaita who is imprisoned, Then it would be a catastrophe for him.

"Since both General Chucks and General William have said so, I agree!"

Caracalla had no choice but to endure.

The Guards listen to Chucks, not him. The Crusaders are more neutral. As for the Gallic Legion, they represent local forces. He now only has one Iron-Blooded Legion as his confidant.

In terms of military power, he must rely heavily on the support of Chucks and William to be crowned smoothly.

So he can only restrain his current dissatisfaction and anger.

Soon, a sacred will issued in the name of the empire was quickly spread to the governors of the provinces and the city lords of the empire through the spies of death. In the empire, there was a frenzy of the whole people against the enemy.

Spanish provinces.

Because of the battlefield, it was relatively late for Zhao Yun to receive the news from Italy.

When he received the news, Wu Jun had already begun to break through.

"Damn Roman barbarian, it's too cruel to do such a thing!" He has been fidgeting since he received the news of help from Italy, but now the distant water cannot save the nearby fire.

Where he is now, it is too far to go north and Gaul.

He thought for a long time, if he really wanted to go straight to Italy to rescue His Majesty in his current position, there was only one way to go.

"No, I can't put His Majesty in danger, even if it's dangerous, I have to fight!"

Zhao Yun immediately called Lu Xun, the staff officer, and Han Dang, the deputy commander of the theater.
