The Three Kingdoms
Page 2649
Although this battle ended with the victory of the Roman Empire, for Rome, it was only a defense battle. The war took place on the territory of Rome, which itself was a loss, and the overall battle was still at a disadvantage.
After this battle, whether it is military or people's livelihood, Rome has retreated for at least a few decades, which ultimately hurt the vitality of the empire.
At the same time, it was also a big psychological blow to the always proud Romans.
The Roman Empire dominated the Western European continent for hundreds of years. It was created from a small country and conquered countless countries and tribes. It considered itself the center of the world and regarded everything other than Rome as barbarians.
However, in this battle, even the imperial capital was breached. These black-haired and black-eyed demons from the far east made them really see the powerful countries outside the Roman Empire.
Let them understand in their hearts that the Roman Empire can also be defeated.
Especially the people in Rome, the imperial capital, that battle made them tremble and fear.
In this imperial capital city, two or three years have passed since the war between the Great Wu of the East and the Roman Empire, but the traces left by the flames of war on this ancient city cannot be erased. not drop.
The traces of the previous battles are still printed on the city walls on the ground, so that all Romans dare not forget for a moment that this ancient Roman capital was once attacked by demons from the east.
But fortunately, time is ruthless after all, and it can erase a lot of pain in the past.
After more than two years of calming down, the people of the city of Rome have actually breathed a sigh of relief, at least they no longer have the feeling of despair that they had when the city of Rome was breached.
The Romans were able to become a spiritual being in the West, and they naturally had their own advantages. The Easterners smashed their pride and broke out their fighting spirit.
Shame on them stays in mind.
Grief and indignation remain in their hearts.
Every Roman clearly remembers the brutality of that battle, but they can only bear it. Now they have a rush to destroy the kingdom of the Eastern Devils, but if they want to do this, they have to work hard to strengthen the empire.
So in the past two years, the pace of development of the Roman Empire has progressed rapidly. From the princes and nobles to the common people, everyone seems to be saving money to accumulate national power for the empire and accumulate strength that can counter the East.
Because they all knew in their hearts that the war between the empire and the eastern demons did not stop there.
The war has reached this point, and only the death of one side can end it.
One day, the incomparably ferocious army of eastern demons will still come in.
As a Roman, anyone, even a woman, their dignity will never allow them to become a subjugated slave, so they desperately want to fight for a breath and a future.
All you can see in the fields and pastures are old and weak women and children. Teenagers are training hard, trying to become a war knight...
Roman palace.
This imperial palace is still majestic and magnificent, but it has never been able to conceal that it was once stepped in from the sky by oriental people.
The traces of the battle left at the beginning have not faded. After the war, Chucks ordered to keep the battlefield. This is the shame of the empire, and it is also the motivation for the soldiers of the empire to train with all their strength.
Only blood can wash away the shame left by blood.
In the palace, Caracalla was wearing a golden dragon robe, sitting cross-legged on the former throne of Severus, her delicate face was covered with beards, and her once gentle eyes became even colder and colder now. The majesty of the emperor on his body is not angry and majestic.
After being crowned for many years, he has long been familiar with how to be an emperor.
There are countless Roman ministers who have died under his butcher's knife over the years, and he has also promoted batch after batch of confidants.
He, Caracalla, inherited the decisive killing of the Severus family, and also inherited the city of Severus the Great. He held a knight's sword in his left hand, with a sharp edge, and a flower in his right hand.
"Report to Your Majesty, the formation of the Beamon Legion has been completed!"
The chief executive of the Predator Legion, Makrinus, knelt down respectfully, and reported in a low voice: "All the soldiers of this legion are from the northern border of the Germanic province. The commander of this legion is The leader of a tribe in Germany, Seton Hattu, is a fierce tiger and a knight like no other in the world. He deeply appreciates His Majesty’s appreciation. The entire Germanic Hattu tribe is willing to serve His Majesty. Their soldiers are the best warriors on the ice field. The empire provided the best armor and war horses to form a heavy cavalry regiment, which has been put into training now, and this will be the ace army for the empire to fight against the East in the future!"
"How did General Chucks react?"
When Caracalla heard this, there was a trace of joy on his face, but he quickly restrained himself. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a pair of blue eyes that were as blue as water radiated this cold light.
Although he sat on the throne and controlled the situation of the empire by his own means, his throne was recommended by Chucks and William, that is to say, the two of them are also capable of pushing them down.
This is something he will never allow.
So he has been desperately trying to seize the military power. Only by grasping the military power can he be regarded as the real master of the empire.
But now the imperial army is basically in the hands of Chucks and William. Compared with the two, the troops he controls are simply vulnerable.
In the past few years, in order to suppress the rights of Chucks and William, he did not hesitate to divide part of his imperial power, and restarted the influence of the Senate that had been suppressed by Emperor Severus in every possible way, so as to stabilize his position as Roman emperor.
Secondly, he is also beginning to continuously expand the strength of his troops.
Like Severus, he only believes in the control of power. Only when the troops under his control are stronger than those of Chucks and William, can he control the empire in a legitimate way and become a true emperor of the empire.
After the Great War, he formed the Legion of the Holy Angels, which was established using the power of the Roman nobles at sea. Since its formation, the unique influence of the Italian Legion on the sea has been divided.
But that didn't satisfy him.
After the establishment of the Holy Angels Legion, he still felt a little insufficient in the military.
Except for the Jagged Legion, most of the soldiers and horses in his hands are recruits, so they are naturally not as good as the veterans in the hands of William and Chucks.
So he did not hesitate to deal with the financial problems of the empire, and made deals with the nobles of the Senate for the next few years of taxation, letting them pay for himself, and formed a Beamon army for him.
Beamon, in the west, this is the name of a mythical beast. According to legend, Beamon is a peerless beast with invulnerability and infinite strength.
The reason why Caracalla used Beamon to name the new legion was that he hoped that this legion would be strong enough to stabilize the military, so that he could seize the military power of Chaks and William without any scruples and control the entire empire. military power.
"Reporting to my respected majesty, it seems that General Chaks is not in Rome at the moment!" Macrinus said in a low voice.
"Where did you go?" Caracalla frowned upon hearing this, with a gloomy expression.
"Province of Gaul!" Macrinus repeated.
"What was he doing in the Gaul province?"
"Your Majesty, the death spies are watching our people too closely. I can't check his movements at all. I can only figure out his itinerary from the clues. As for what he will do in the Gaul province, I don't know much. , but I think he probably conspired with General William about something!"
Macrinus said.
"This melee thing!"
Caracalla suddenly became a little angry, her eyes were cold and stern, and she said darkly: "Does he still have my emperor in his eyes? A great general of the empire left Rome without even reporting to me!"
It wasn't Chucks' sudden departure from Rome that made him angry.
He even wished that Chaks would never be in Rome, so that he could take the opportunity to take down the Guards in Rome.
The city of Rome is the capital of the empire, and the right to garrison troops is left to the Guards. This has been the rule of Rome for hundreds of years.
But the Guards Corps was not his confidant army, which naturally made him uneasy.
He has always wanted to subdue the Guards, but he never succeeded.
