"Victory has been won." Pabinian breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the urgent military report sent from the British front line.
In any case, it is good to have won the victory. The next step will be much simpler. The Senate has blocked the news for such a long time and has not notified His Majesty the Emperor. If anything, it is actually a bit illegal.
When Severus led his army back to Rome, the Senate spread the news about the Parthian invasion of Mesopotamia and the Eastern Province, which had been blocked before, and there was an uproar in Rome.
"Your Majesty!" The urgent information was sent to the returning Roman army. The top brass received the news in a short time. Sulinari and others went to see Severus.
"It's nothing, Xi'an is pretty awesome." There was no emotion or anger on Severus' face at all, but everyone could feel the anger in Severus' chest.
"Your Majesty, should we return to Rome first, or go south to the port and take a boat to the Eastern Province." The attendant said respectfully. The Thirteen Roses Army was actually destroyed. This is a relic of Caesar, one of the strongest in the Roman Empire.
One of the legions.
"Back to Rome, is the Han Empire?" A cold light flashed in Severus' eyes, "Is it the land of gold and silk that came out of mythology? Order everyone to speed up the march!"
Following Severus' order, the short-legged Roman legions began to march quickly. The quality they displayed this time far exceeded any previous era. Severus gave them fame and fortune, and they were willing to give everything.
To repay Severus.
By the time Severus arrived in Rome, Italy, the year was coming to an end. Although the calendar of the Romans was very different from that of the Central Plains people, the astronomical professionals led by Jian Yong had already determined the distance to the new year.
The year has been less than a month.
"Uh, your Majesty the Emperor is back?" Jian Yong frowned when he saw Papinian and his attendants coming to look for him. It is a big deal for the Emperor to go on a personal expedition and successfully return from the front line.
, why does it seem that the Romans have no reaction at all.
"Yes, His Majesty Severus has returned." Papinian said with a solemn expression. Although there was no anger on Severus' face, Papinian felt the vigorous emotions in Severus' heart.
Anger.
"So, can I meet the Roman Emperor now?" Jian Yong asked naturally, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with calling Severus the emperor. After all, after knowing each other for such a long time, he had already confirmed that Rome was indeed the emperor.
It is a powerful empire.
"Yes, please prepare your envoys. His Majesty's personal bodyguards will come to take you to the palace later." Papinian saluted with one hand and left.
On the other side, Severus was standing at the main rostrum of the Roman Parliament. Regardless of whether they were critically ill or unwell, all the senators of the Roman Empire came together this time. The tribunes also stood outside to observe. Severus
As soon as we came back, we rushed here. Everyone knew that something big had happened.
"...The above is all about the Battle of Great Britain!" Severus glanced around the circle of senators with a majestic expression. There were already whispers below. Severus actually hit the homeland of the Celts and Germans.
, and completely defeated both sides. This achievement is comparable to the achievements of the Five Wise Emperors back then.
Following Severus's words, those senators in the Senate who were dissatisfied with Severus, who relied on illegal methods and was the only emperor since ancient times to forcibly ascend the throne as a North African, no longer looked at him from the previous perspective.
Severus, the Roman emperor was not about birth, but ability!
"Now, who can stand up and tell me why the Thirteen Rose Legion was completely wiped out after I left Rome!" Severus said, staring at all the senators with reproach.
"Let me explain." Capitolinus stood up expressionlessly. This guy is the censor, and he has never stepped down since taking up this position at the end of the Five Wise Emperors.
Capitolinus explained in detail what happened in the eastern province of Rome. He neither exaggerated the significance of the Han Dynasty in it nor minimized the threat of the Han Dynasty. He looked at the problem completely from a third party's perspective.
Very pertinent.
"In other words, the Han Empire was just trying to show off Anxi's courage, and it was Anxi that was really the one to attack, right?" Severus looked at Capitolinus and asked, his face a little cold.
"That's the fact. It's just that the scale of the other party's investment far exceeded our estimate. As for the failure of the Thirteen Roses Legion, in my opinion, it is not so much a failure of the war as it is a failure of the generals." Cappi
Tolinus glanced at the location of Caesar's descendants and said coldly, "Descendants of Julius, hum!"
"With Anxi's strength, even if the strength of the Thirteen Roses Army and the Fourteenth Combined Army cannot defeat each other, they can easily retreat as long as they are commanded properly! The reason why the Fourteenth Combined Army is placed next to the Thirteen Roses Army as a support is its significance
It is to make up for the disadvantages of the Thirteen Roses Legion, and Gillia's performance is too poor!" Capitolinus unceremoniously poured dirty water on the Julius family. Even if you are a royal family, you have done too much.
Too bad.
If Caesar's descendants could kill with their eyes at this moment, Capitolinus would definitely be cut into pieces with his eyes.
"Didn't you even turn on the eagle flag completely?" Severus glanced at the members of the Julius family coldly. At that moment, the member of the royal family almost had his hair standing on end.
"Ganasis has now ceased war with the other party. We also believe that the war should be stopped first. It is very difficult for us to deal with the three military souls of the Parthian and Han armies with our current strength alone." Capitolinus saw the situation.
Weiru explained without saying much.
"Is there an armistice?" Severus frowned and said.
"Yes, the three soul armies of the Han Army were too troublesome in our opinion, and we mainly invested our forces in the Battle of Great Britain at that time, and fighting on two fronts was not enough for us." Capitolinus pointed out.
He nodded and said.
"Three military spirit legions?" Severus felt a headache inexplicably. Even he felt stressed, "I heard that the envoys from the Han Empire have arrived, right?"
"Yes." Capitolinus nodded.
"Okay, let's meet the other person before making a decision." Severus looked at the other person and said.
About an hour later, Jian Yong, who had changed his clothes, took Nangong Xue and others to the Roman palace under the leadership of the Roman palace attendants.
Compared with the simplicity of the Roman Parliament, the Roman palace looked significantly more luxurious and magnificent. It is obvious that even though Rome did not have the saying "nothing can be respected without magnificence", it also respected the palace and other construction aspects.
This principle.
When Jian Yong and others arrived, Severus was recuperating with his eyes closed. The attendants on the left and right, the guards, the clerks, and the Roman senators were all present. They had given the Han Dynasty enough honor.
"Foreign Minister Jian Yong has met His Majesty the Roman Emperor." Jian Yong bowed and saluted. Thanks to so many years of study, Jian Yong was already able to speak Roman dialect fluently.
"Xianhe, there are many masters here, at least seven of them are completely beyond me in strength. Those seven guys are the best even among the world-breaking levels." Nangong Xue reflected her voice immediately.
into Jian Yong's mind.
Sulinalali looked at Nangong Xue with a chuckle. It was rare that a warrior who looked like a city guardian would need dozens of moves to defeat him.
"What's wrong, Su?" Perennis saw Sulinalari's smile and curiously sent a message to the other party. He rarely saw Sulinalari's smile.
"The person below, if I fight with him, when I am about to hit him hard in the eighth move, the sword in his hand will pour infinite divine power into his body, and then he will enter the world-breaking level, and then rely on the sword
When possessed by divine power, his will will jump out and enter a desperate state." Sulinalali said with great interest.
"You still care about working hard?" Perennis said with a puzzled look.
"No, the meaning is that the opponent doesn't care about fighting hard, and can recover instantly if his head is cut off." Sulinalari said with a smile, "It's a very interesting power. From this point of view, the words of the opponent's head of the envoy can basically represent
The Han Empire."
Sulinalari did not forget to tell Severus. Severus' expression did not change, but he calmly invited Jian Yong to take a seat.
"I wonder what the Han envoys came to Rome for all the way?" Severus said in an official tone, not mentioning what happened in the eastern provinces at all.
"I heard that there is a big country in the far west, and the Han Dynasty is willing to share peace with Rome." Jian Yong is the same. You don't mention the affairs of the Eastern Province, and we don't mention the affairs of the Eastern Province. I won't find trouble.
"This is a very good thing. Rome is willing to share peace with the Han Dynasty and exchange what they need." Severus also spoke in an official manner. For him, there was only one Anxi left around, so it was inevitable to take action. In this case, the Han Dynasty helped
Regardless of whether he helps An Anxi or not, he will attack anyway.
Compared to the Roman Parliament, which was still hesitant and concerned about the Han Dynasty's thoughts, Severus would not think about the pros and cons at all. The truth in this world is within the scope of force, so what's the use of talking more?
We in Rome are going to take action. If you, the Han Dynasty, are willing to protect the Parthians, then come, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it!
When Jian Yong heard this, he took out his credentials. The attendant took the credentials and handed them to Severus. Severus browsed through them naturally, made an expression like "I can understand Chinese characters", and concluded with the Han Dynasty.
After receiving the certificate of credence, he handed it to the attendant at the side. Then the attendant took the certificate and handed it to the back for interpretation by someone who really understood this.
At this time, the two sides seemed to be very topical and the atmosphere was very good. There was no intention of settling scores at all. However, Jian Yong, who knew what happened in the Eastern Province, knew very well that the more Severus acted like this, the more determined he seemed. This time he was afraid that
