Liu Xian stood up, walked to the door of the big tent, and looked at the brightly lit Roman city under the bright starry sky in front of him with his hands behind his back.

At this time, in the palace of the Prince of Rome in the city of Rome, Prince Robert was looking at the book of arrows shot in by the Han army not long ago, frowned slightly, his face was gloomy and unstable, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The sound of footsteps came from the door, and Robert put away the archery book and looked at the door. He saw that the confidant who had just been sent out to inquire about the situation came back.

The confidant bowed to Robert and hurriedly said, "Prince, the Han army has retreated and has not really attacked the city. In addition, almost all the nobles in the city have obtained this book of arrows..."

Robert said no, then asked, "Does they all act?"

The confidant shook his head and said, "No. They all seemed very calm, as if these arrow books did not affect them at all."

Robert smiled and said, "No impact? That's impossible. I think these people should be in a dilemma now." Then he said to his close confidants: "Follow me to the palace to meet Her Majesty the Queen. The more this happens, the more I should show my loyalty as a prince."

At this time, an officer rushed in and saluted Robert and said, "Prince, Your Majesty has sent a large army to confiscate the entire city of arrow books, and said that anyone who dares to collect arrow books will be punished as a communist."

Robert frowned, and felt uneasy when he thought of the arch book hidden on his body.

At this moment, another officer rushed in and saluted Robert and said, "Prince, just now, General Cochin was ordered to lead the army to arrest Baron Charlie's family!..."

Robert was startled and couldn't help asking, "What's the charge?"

"It is said that Baron Charles' family violated His Majesty's will and privately kept the enemy's arrow books and made a mistake in their plans, so the whole family arrested them to assist in the investigation."

Robert became even more uneasy, then walked to the lantern, took off the lampshade, took out the arrow book from his arms, and placed it on the light and burned it.

He turned around and said to the people present: "From now on, no one is allowed to bring the arrow book into my palace, otherwise I will hand him over to His Majesty for disposal."

Everyone was shocked and agreed.

Robert thought for a while and said to the people present: "Follow me to see Your Majesty!"

Not long after, Robert and his group came out of the Prince's Mansion and walked along the street toward the palace in the center of the city.

Although it was midnight, the whole city was quite uneasy, with shouts, roars, and even fighting sounds. From time to time, people were escorted by the army to pass by Robert and the others. The whole city was filled with an uneasy atmosphere.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night for all Romans.

Everyone was trembling and frightened, even the Queen Monica herself was no exception.

When the sun rose from the east and the light finally dispelled the darkness, Monica's uneasy heart finally calmed down.

Looking out the window, I saw the gorgeous sunshine shining in from the window, and couldn't help but murmur: "It's finally dawn!"

In the following time, the Han army outside the city did not attack the city of Rome, but instead distributed a large number of troops to attack the cities around Rome.

The bad news kept flying into the Roman city like snowflakes, and the cavalry that sent the bad news kept speeding on the street. Later, whenever the sound of horse hooves sounded, all the residents in the city couldn't help but raise their hearts to their throats.

Time passed by in all kinds of tortures, and before I knew it, seven or eight days had passed.

That morning, the sound of horse hooves sounded again. The alarmed soldiers and civilians looked in the sound and indeed saw the cavalry rushing on the street.

People couldn't help but talk: "There were again sent-up cavalry early in the morning! I don't know where it fell this time!"

Someone immediately said worriedly: "It's only been a few days. More than a dozen big cities, including Florence and Bologna, have been captured by the Han people. If this continues, wouldn't we Rome become an isolated city!"

Everyone around them also looked a little in a heavy mood.

A middle-aged man sighed and said, "We are not at ease inside! I heard that several nobles and several big merchants were arrested by His Majesty's army last night!

It seems that we have been abandoned by the gods, and we don’t know what we will look like in the future!”

Everyone looked dark and couldn't speak.

At this moment, the cavalry who rushed to report the news had already rushed into the palace hall and bowed to the queen Monica: "Oh my majesty, the Han emperor sent the Hun cavalry to sweep Milan and other places. The soldiers and civilians suffered heavy casualties and suffered numerous material losses!

In addition, the Han Dynasty general Ma Yunlu led a Han army and a Persian army to the city of Venice and was attacking.

News came from the province of Bari that the Duke of Bari surrendered to the enemy!”

A series of bad news shocked Monica and everyone present, and they couldn't recover for a long time.

Kochin frowned and said, "I didn't expect that Duke Barry would surrender to the enemy? He is the Roman royal family! He had firmly supported His Majesty before! How could he surrender to the enemy now?"

The others were also worried and started to talk to the people next to them in a low voice.

Monica's face was very embarrassing. The current situation has made her feel out of control. She originally thought that her opponent would launch a full-scale attack immediately when she was at the city, but she didn't expect that the development of things would not be the case at all.

Not only did the opponent not directly attack the city, but he also used so many despicable means to disrupt her military morale, and at the same time continued to attack surrounding areas. This not only shook the morale of the people on their own, but also continuously weakened the power in their hands.

Robert couldn't help but say: "If the situation continues like this, we Rome will soon become an isolated city without any foreign aid!"

At this moment, a female guard rushed in and reported to Monica: "Your Majesty, the messenger of the Earl of Venice is here!"

Everyone's hearts moved. Monica thought for a moment and said, "Take him in."

The female guard responded and ran down, and after a moment he came in with a middle-aged officer with a dusty and frightened expression.

When the middle-aged officer saw Monica, he immediately bowed: "Her Majesty, please send troops to rescue our Venice immediately!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel heartbroken. Monica said, "Don't worry, tell me the current situation in Venice."

The middle-aged officer swallowed and said with fear: "The enemy is attacking the city with all his might! Their combat power is too strong! We, we are almost unable to resist..."
