Chapter 624 Allies and Enemies (Part 2)
"General, Your Majesty's Order"
The soldiers rushed up the city wall. The Roman general named Gayuus was standing at the head of the city of Taixifeng and looking westward. A series of slow horse-drawn chariots drove into the city. He just turned his face slightly to the soldiers reporting behind him, reached out to take the emperor's letter, read it, and handed it back.
"Did Severu, the great conqueror of Parthia, let me take the initiative?"
"The news didn't say this."
"Well..." Gayuus's body was sturdy, and his thick breastplate seemed to be weightless on him. His fingers touched the city wall and walked forward: "Your Majesty should know that we were going to face the Selius people from the East. The Fretenses army, who had been sent to hunt down the remnants of Clark, was destroyed there. Only the one who escaped told us the strength of the Selius people and the strange and changeable tactics."
"... and Parthia, who had been in front of us for hundreds of years, was convinced by their iron hooves. Kushan was probably conquered by the powerful forces of the other side. It was obviously not wise to take the initiative. His Majesty also knew this, but since he wanted to lay bricks and stones for the great Roman emperor with the heads of the Selius, it was also the glory of me, Gayuus."
The talking Roman general was born in the hottest continent in the world. He raised his army with Severu and became the emperor of a country. He was already a general with outstanding meritorious achievements. He finally adopted a conservative combat method for dealing with the Eastern Selius people who had never faced. The moment he clenched his fist and pressed on the bricks, he suddenly turned around, and his scarlet cloak spread out and he strode down the city wall.
The horn sounds of the assembly.
Hundreds of guard soldiers and centurion gathered quickly with swords. Gayuus held the hilt of the sword and swept over them with a serious look: "Say all brave soldiers, the enemy of Rome is coming."
With a clang, the cold short sword was unsheathed and raised it into the sky in his hand. Many soldiers around him were gathering. Under the eagle flag, square formations of all sizes gathered into a river. The legion of more than 10,000 people quickly formed, and they clenched their fists and hit the breastplate, making a loud bang.
"...The Selius from the East conquered Pateia, who was declining. Now, they looked at the great Rome, the great Majesty Severus, and the envoys sent in winter were killed by these people. This means that the steps of war have rushed towards us. Are you afraid of the brave and warlike warriors treating the enemy?"
"Not afraid!"
"Not afraid!"
"Not afraid!"
Countless roars resounded through the sky, countless fists slammed the breastplate, and Gayuus pinched the blade and banged the shield, "The brave warriors who were brave enough to move forward, for the merits of His Majesty Seville and for the glory of Rome, let them see the ferocity of the Roman warriors in front of this city.
“….Let the Seliusians’ iron hooves stop here!!”
The sword light slashed down, and the magnificent light shone thousands of miles. Under the clouds, Greek cavalry from Dayuan had passed through the territory of Kushan and rushed towards the most central capital of Parthia. To the southeast, the Kushan army successively passed through the Alakosia province of the Parthian Empire, without stopping for a moment. There were even terrifying figures in the surging army, with heavy limbs like huge pillars, and the earth was trembling.
It was the Kushan people's war elephant, with fifty heads.
The huge elephant with paint applied on the back, covered the rack, and the saddle was all available. The Kushan general who was wrapped in several circles of turbans sat steadily on it, looking greedily at the white jade Buddha statue in his hand, then wiping it carefully, put it back into the bag on the side of the saddle, and looking forward in a undulating figure.
"The command of the front team will be faster, and this battle will show the Kushan military power..." He issued an order majestic and solemn order.
Looking at the cavalry passing by, after a while, Pilan couldn't help but turn out the white jade Buddha statue in the bag again, and played with it carefully in his hand, touching every inch of his fingers with love...

It was already afternoon, and the spots of white began to transform. The conversation in the tent stopped. Gongsun Zhi lifted the curtain and looked at the generals of the army who were leaving. The sunshine hanging in the west turned into a charming red. On the way out of the camp, Xun Chen followed: "What the governor said today is a bit too cautious, and the people of the Qin Dynasty may not be good at fighting."
"I don't know the specifics, but I'm not too careful. The other party will definitely be on guard against the flash attack on Parthia. If you use it, you will definitely suffer losses. This will be a loss." Gongsun Zhi walked on the fence for a while with his hands in his arms, whispered, and then said: "...But I will pull Kushan, rest in peace, Dayuan comes in to let them replace the part that may be damaged by our Western Expedition Army."
"It turns out that the governor has another purpose, and it is right. In the interests of the great people, no one is not moved by wealth."
The two of them talked for a while, and a bonfire, lanterns, and even many people danced around the fire column. The man named Wuti came to this side and whispered a few words in Li Ke's ear. He sent the soldiers away and turned to Gongsun Zhi: "Chief, the Zorokao Tiamifei is outside the military camp. He wants to pay a visit. Do you want to drive him away?"
Gongsun Zhi looked into the direction of the gate in the distance: "No, I'm going back anyway, so I'll see him."
"Since the governor is busy with important things, Chen will take his leave first."
Watching the scholar leave, Gongsun Zhi rolled over and walked through the market here. Outside the gate, a luxurious carriage with half a roof was parked there. He was wearing a long robe and an old man with a robe hanging on the lao Jiaohui was waiting on it. When he saw Gongsun Zhi riding a horse, he quickly put down the cup in his hand, got off the carriage, went over to salute, and then talked straight to the point and talked about the serious matter.
"... The two countries of the Zoropaku have flourished and are also designated as state religions. They have unique charm and can sublimate the souls of those who believe in them. They will have an enterprising heart when they look at everything. The army led by you is very brave and good at fighting. I believe that the Romans will be unable to resist it. At that time, the Zoropaku will preach with all their might. I hope that you will not be stingy with a little help in your busy schedule. As gratitude, the Zoropaku is willing to send martyrs to participate in the war, and even have food and women to provide it with them to make the war go smoothly."
The carriage was not spacious, and Wuti stood below and was sweating on the translator's face. Gongsun Zhi looked at the bishop talking to each other, reached out and turned over a glass of wine, and said only: "War does not require religious interference."
Tiamifi, who was still talking, was immediately interrupted, with a stunned expression, as if he had thought that the other party might refuse directly, and said with a smile: "Master Commander, with the help of the Zorocratic Cult, Rome will surrender to your feet, and in return it is just to support the Zorocratic Cult to gain a foothold in Rome."
"If the war between countries escalates to religious wars, it is not what I want to see." Gongsun Zhi shook his head and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp: "However, I have agreed before that whether you can fight for greater benefits can be your own business. Go back and prepare for spreading."
In the red sunset, the old man blushed slightly, his eyes looked at the Selius opposite him in surprise, and nodded: "Since your commander has decided, I will say goodbye."
Gongsun Zhi snorted at the carriage that was driving, turned his head and ordered Li Ke: "Go and notify the three grasslands, go west, and clear all obstacles for the three armies."
"yes!"
