Augustus Under the Horseshoe

The strategy of Isuai I was quite effective. The greedy hyenas that walked upright, the terrifying half-human and half-lion, the scaly chameleons...The army of countless vassal races was divided into hundreds and thousands. Scattered teams burned every village in Asia Minor, harassed every road in the empire, and a large amount of information about the attack came in, which directly confused the members of the Pigeon Court.

Why are all the governors stationed in Anatolia saying that the area they are responsible for was attacked by the enemy? Damn it, where is the opponent's main army!

Augustus hasn't returned to his bedroom for a whole month. These days, he eats and sleeps in the doveroom to make sure that he can get all the war information as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, I have sorted out the information for a while, look at it."

An elf mage wearing a moon white dove robe, while receiving a massive flow of information through the mithril headband on his head, while marking all the recent information on a strategic map constructed by magic.

That map constructed by arcane spells in detail every city fortress of the Eastern Empire and every main river.

"First, we marked all the areas where we encountered the attack as golden."

The elderly mage looked through the communication records of Dove Whispering Court, and stretched out his skinny fingers like dead wood, and pointed on the map. Soon, most of Asia Minor peninsula was painted in the color of Sassanid Persian.

"These governors, administrative officials, and militia captains all said that they had been attacked. However, according to their description, the enemy was not the red-skinned Teflin with horns on the head, but the jackals, sphinxes, and war lizards. ·····This kind of vassal surrendered to the Persian demons. Come, let us block all these interfering messages.

The Master Geyuting snapped his fingers, and the map of Asia Minor quickly turned back to the purple of the empire. Only the province of Chiliqia, and some scattered cities and fortresses, still maintained their brilliant golden appearance.

"Your Majesty, only those half-human and half-devil hybrid hybrids are mentioned in the reports of these cities and fort administrators. If you connect these cities in a line...you see, they avoided along the way. All cities and defensive systems, along the southern coast of Asia Minor, to the west, and to Constantinople, ride horses on horseback. The goal of the King of Kings has been you from the beginning."

The archmage connected the city fortresses that had witnessed the demon-born cavalry into a crooked curve on the map. I saw a slender golden line that was twisted like a snake, extending from Cilicia to the heart of the empire. , Like a serpentine curved blade inserted into the heart of the empire.

"Stop them! Stop them for me!!!"

Arcadius took a deep breath, his face was extremely ugly, and he jumped directly from his seat!

Although, I ordered the mermaids to block the Marmara Sea, as well as the Bosphorus and Dardanelles, completely cutting off the connection between Asia Minor and Greece. But what if? In case this army really faces Constantinople across the sea, even further...

"In those reports, did you mention the number of the opponents? Rhode Island has assembled three legions, enough to stop them-no, no matter how many, let the three legions leave immediately! Immediately! Immediately! Let them not hesitate. Stop the opponent at all costs! The other four legions, the Whisperers, and tens of thousands of enlisted soldiers are on the way! Let them survive the arrival of reinforcements at all costs!"

"Your will!"

After a night of rest, the men and horses recovered from seasickness and wandered around the city in groups.

At this moment, Painhus also took Christina sisters, walking inside the prosperous market of Rhode Island, curiously looking at this civilized city, under the dazzling stars, the sun **** accompany Luo, and the tall statue rushed straight. Yunxiao! His marble-carved hands were holding a huge group of Arcane flames. Looking from a distance, it really looked like a group of brilliant golden sunrise, shining the whole city like daylight.

After estimating the prices, the warchief found that the seven hundred and thirty thousand Sudres gold coin in his hand was far more valuable than he thought. A Roman gold coin could actually be exchanged for a young ewe.

Seven hundred and thirty thousand goats, the wealthy Xuenu clan has a population of over ten thousand, and the number of goats is only about one million.

The bustling humans and elves around them are also very curious about these rare and large monsters. They watched and looked at the warchief. Some artists even fanatically paid out a lot of money, wanting to ask the horses and horses to be their own models and paint. , Sculpted some novel works of art, but they were politely declined by the three.

When the entire empire was caught in the anxiety of war, more than 20,000 mercenary cavalry were still heartlessly eating, drinking and having fun. Anyway, the gold coins given by the employers could not be used on the grassland unless they were melted into gold jewelry.

Moreover, the logistics, food and grass are all taken care of by the Romans. Tens of thousands of people and horses simply took this huge wealth and enjoyed the life of drunken gold fans in luxury, and handed the Roman gold coins to the Roman merchants and merchants. prostitute.

Because the upper body is human, the aesthetics of centaurs and horses overlap to a certain extent with humans and elves. Some people simply entered the Fengyue place. The dressed-up prostitutes looked at today’s "customers" and took a breath of surprise. It is said that the local prostitutes were caught in a long period of time after the people left. Desire for a state of dissatisfaction.

————————————————

The warchief, who already had two spouses, came to the arcane area of ​​the city, bought a few spell material kits, bought some ink and parchment, and the last dimension bag inside the store—this thing was recently Defined as military supplies, almost all of them were "conscripted" by the legionaries.

"Ink and parchment? Do you want to copy the scrolls? Speaking of which, in the name of levying the eleven tax, you asked for some spell books from Panticapone. Recently, everything is fine, just reading those magic books... ····Are you going to be a part-time mage? My dear?"

Christian asked with some confusion, holding his lover's left arm.

"Yes, Augustus promised to open the magic knowledge in the White Tower to us, and also paid some [deposit]."

Painhurs triumphantly took out an antique dragon skin scroll.

"Guess what, what is written on it?"

"The magic of the Nine Rings? A lost arcane? No, you are a warlock, and you don't know how to use it."

Christina turned her head curiously.

"No, what is recorded in it is [Archmage]'s advanced method."

The handsome face of the pale warlock burst into a frantic smile.

"The wizard and the sorcerer have some things in common, and the advanced arcane abilities recorded on the scroll can be applied to the sorcerer's spells!

My God, the advanced arcane abilities recorded in these records are really too powerful. The ghost hand can only transmit contact magic within the fourth ring instead of me, but the arcane hand has no restrictions. I can even use it to transmit the midnight stroke of the sixth ring!

Elemental control, after learning it, I can modify the attributes of arcane arts at will. The extremely monotonous ice attributes can be replaced by flames, thunder, and even acid.

Plastic control allows me to tamper with the spread of all spells, as well as spell countermeasures, not to mention the arcane fire caused by the primitive arcane energy and frantic burning..."

Painhurs raised his hands frantically. The future is so bright. The only problem is that those books are too obscure and require a lot of time to understand.

Hell, I forgot a question. The gravel road of the Romans is not as soft and comfortable as the soil of the prairie. The horseshoe is very uncomfortable to step on, and the edges are even a little broken-it seems that it is time to popularize the horseshoe.

"Woo-"

Just as the horses and horses were strolling happily, the sound of the powerful horn suddenly pierced the dark sky and rang back and forth over Rhode Island.

Under the order of Dove Whispering Court, the first Italian legion, the second Hercules legion, and the seventh Claudia legion began to assemble immediately.

Each full Roman legion is divided into ten battalions, and each battalion is divided into six hundred-man battalions. This adds up to more than 6,000 heavily armed infantry.

Immediately afterwards, each corps was catering to the combat style of their corps commander and the characteristics of the local arms, adding forty centuries, totaling 4,000 auxiliary arms.

These 6,000 heavy-armored infantry, plus 4,000 auxiliary arms with their own strengths, and 10,000 well-trained professional soldiers, constitute a full Roman legion.

A total of 30,000 full-armed regular troops, as well as logistics personnel several times the number of professional soldiers, immediately obeyed Augustus' orders and began to board the ship. Pain Hess also recalled all his soldiers, the soldiers with a sad face, boarded the **** deck again, and marched towards Asia Minor.

Let alone the other two legions, the second Hercules legion can be said to be the elite of the two Roman empires in the East and the West. These glorious warriors, who inherited the name of Hercules, are the chief infantry of the empire. The combat effectiveness is above the normal legion.

They also have the most sophisticated equipment of all legions.

If it weren’t for the fact that Peturabo and his Fourth Sisu Army Corps, equipped with a large number of energy-shaping mages and war machine squads, were extremely good at fighting positions and fortified battles, the title of war commander in the battlefield of Asia Minor would definitely fall. On the head of Julian Felavius, the captain of the Second Hercules Legion.
