The Three Kingdoms

Sun Quan had a wry smile when he heard the words, he put down the binoculars, and sighed: "It's such an annihilation of the entire army of the Apollo Legion. Although we won this battle, and we won it beautifully, but in the end, we were tricked by Severus." fan!"

"Severus calculated us?"

When Pang Tong heard this, he didn't understand.

"I ask you, how far is the city of Rome from the battlefield of the Tiber River?"

"Three miles short!"

"If the main force in the city reinforces, our main force is still separated by the Tiber River, can they rescue the Apollo Legion!"

"it should be OK!"

"Then why didn't Severus send troops and watched the Apollo Legion completely wiped out!"

"This?" With Pang Tong's cleverness, he understood at one point, his pupils widened: "Your Majesty means that Severus killed people with a knife, and specially sent the Apollo Legion to die!"

"I'm afraid Severus has long wanted to give up the Apollo Legion. Using an Apollo Legion to fight us will not only consume our troops, but will also arouse the resistance of the entire city of Rome. Next, we will face What is important is not the defense of the Roman army, but the defense of the whole city."

Sun Quan's face was dignified, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there was a faint smile on his face: "This is killing two birds with one stone, he has already calculated to the extreme!"

The Roman Empire is a huge and profound empire with tens of millions of people and millions of soldiers. Among these people and soldiers, there are always passionate young people with unyielding feelings.

The Apollo Legion is the clearest example.

When this kind of family and country righteousness and not giving up feelings all burst out, then this country will be an unbeatable country.

Sun Quan had to admit that he had miscalculated.

……

When night fell, outside Rome, on the battlefield on the banks of the Tiber, the battle was over.

The Wu army not only broke through the defense line of the Tiber River, but also wiped out the Apollo Legion, one of the main forces of the Roman army.

Ma Chao personally beheaded Sextu, the chief general of the Apollo Legion, and all the heads of the four major legions were killed.

But Wu Jun also paid a heavy price for this battle.

Facing the final temporary counterattack of the Apollo Legion, the Xiongnu Legion and the Parthian Legion suffered a sharp increase in casualties, severely injured vitality, and greatly weakened combat effectiveness.

[The first thousand and five hundred and tenth chapters of the text, eight chapters, one blow eleven]

The next day, early in the morning.

A round of red sun emerged from the horizon in the east, the sun fell, and scattered on the ground one by one, shining on the majestic Roman city wall, reflecting a somewhat stiff and tall figure in it, which was a little sad .

This is the figure of Severus, the Roman emperor.

Severus has been standing on the city wall for a whole night.

He watched the bloody battlefield with his eyes fixed on the outside of the city, watched the soldiers of the Apollo Legion die one by one, watched the standing battle flags of the Apollo Legion being burned one by one, watched those The demon warriors are cleaning the battlefield without hesitation...

His face was expressionless, but his heart was filled with grief and indignation.

It's a good thing to trade an Apollo Legion for the Demon Vanguard's near-incompatibility.

But he couldn't be happy.

"Your Majesty, your health is not very good. You have been standing here all night, why don't you go back to the palace and rest for a while!"

Friedrich came up and persuaded in a low voice.

Severu's body has actually reached a point where the oil is exhausted. These days, he is holding on with willpower. For ordinary people, standing for a night is just a little bit of energy, but for him , is completely overdrawing vitality.

"I'm fine, I can't die!"

Severus shook his somewhat stiff body, ignoring Friedrich's words,

He turned his head and looked at the Iron-Blooded Legion Chief Consul Macrinus who had been kneeling behind him. His once fierce voice became softer, and the soft voice exuded a kindness: "Makerinus, it's me. For letting you go to die, do you blame me for being cruel?"

Anyone who can be the chief consul of a legion is not a fool.

Sextu was no fool.

Macrinus was no fool either.

They had more or less guessed their plans in their hearts, but Sextus sacrificed generously. He knew it was not for him, but for the empire, the great empire, but he was still a little ashamed

In fact, Severus never cared about his thoughts being guessed, as if this time he deliberately used the Apollo Legion and the Iron Blood Legion to consume the strength of the Wu army. In doing so, he had a clear conscience for the overall situation of the empire.

Only by sacrifice can there be victory.

He needs someone to sacrifice, and use sacrifice to win this war and win the victory that belongs to the empire.

But when he watched the 10,000+ soldiers of the Apollo Legion die with the demons one by one under his nose, after the final fight and the heroic sacrifice, he felt a little guilty in his heart.

"no!"

The blood on Macrinus' body was already dry, and he knelt down quietly behind him with no expression on his face. After hearing Severus' question, he raised his head slightly, shook his head, his gaze was so resolute and decisive, and said : "The empire is now facing the greatest crisis. No matter what your majesty does, it is for the empire and for the survival of the empire. This is also a task that every knight is willing to sacrifice his life to complete. As long as the empire can win, I am willing to sacrifice , Sextu is also willing!"

When the Roman Empire was leaderless, he urged Caracalla to return to the imperial capital. He had two mentalities. One was for the empire to have a backbone and unite as one. The throne of God, and then by virtue of Conglong, he became the next Olveri and took control of the power of the empire.

But there is one thing, he is a knight of the empire, it is his mission to defend the empire, and his own selfishness cannot affect the overall situation of the empire.

In the face of big right and wrong, he put himself in a very upright posture.

When the Apollo Legion was wiped out, he hated Severus.

But soon he figured it out, if the empire was destroyed by demons, he would lose all his status and rights, and he might be reduced to a slave in the end. This is something he would rather die than see matter.

"Sextu has washed away all the shame on him, and also the shame on the Caesar family, but he gave his life, and the empire will remember it, but Macrinus, you are different, just like Kara Kara and Geta are different, you are a capable person, no matter what, you must live well in the next battle, and you can assist Kara Kara in the future, and continue the future for the empire!"

Severus sighed, his voice bleak.

"The last will obey!"

Macrinus's eyes were clear and bright, Severus was considered a dying caregiver, and he appointed the Minister of Guming, and he is now considered to be included in the seat.

"Chaks!" Severu's eyes fell on Chaks.

"The end is here!"

"Since the demon's soldiers and horses have broken through the first line of defense, they will soon attack the city wall, and the defense of the outer city wall will be handed over to you. I can authorize you to mobilize any soldiers and horses to delay time. !"

Severus calmly handed over the defense to Chaks, the commander of the Knights Templar and a general taught by St. Alveri himself.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, no matter what, I will not let the city wall fall!"
