In the Roman Palace, Severus' wounds had been treated very properly.

But even so, the anger in Severus' heart still did not ease at all.

A sure-fire ambush.

It ended up costing Severus an ear.

Severus lost an ear because of this incident.

It's like putting shame on your face.

He grabbed a vase and smashed it on the ground.

Severus was a Roman emperor who aspired to be like the Five Wise Emperors.

His dignity was shaken, making it difficult for Severus to accept the reality.

With the evil fire in his heart, Severus grabbed a vase and smashed it heavily on the ground. As the vase fell into pieces, Severus shouted to the people around him: "Nicture Gervas and others to the cross. I want them to die slowly in endless pain."

"In addition, I will raid their homes and send all their relatives as slaves. In short, I will let their relatives die in humiliation and pain."

"I want to see if there are any Romans who dare to stand up against me in the future."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

After Severus finished speaking, he coughed violently again.

After coughing for a moment, Severus suddenly felt dizzy. Before he could reach out to hold the table beside him, he fell straight to the ground.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty fainted."

"Hurry up and get a doctor."

Severus fainted this time and lasted for half a day.

A little while later, Severus opened his eyes and his whole body suddenly became weak.

It was as if this fainting had drained all the energy out of Severus.

With the help of two female slaves, Severus struggled to sit up.

Sitting up straight, Severus turned to look at the doctor with a frown on his side.

Seeing this, the doctor quickly said to Severus: "Your Majesty, your situation is probably not optimistic."

"not optimistic?"

Severus glanced at the doctor, frowned several times, and then said to the doctor: "I just caught a cold and lost one of my ears. It's not too serious."

Severus didn't feel that there was any big problem with him.

You know, Severus has been hanging out with soldiers in the army all year round, and his body has always been very healthy.

As for the fainting this time, Severus felt that it was most likely because he was too angry before, which eventually led to anger.

My body is weak now, which is also the sequelae of fainting.

After two days of good rest, there will be no more serious problems.

The doctor was silent for a long time and hesitated for a long time. Then he lowered his voice and whispered to Severus: "Your Majesty, your condition may not be as simple as you think."

Severu suddenly frowned and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean?"

"I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers the Antonine Plague?"

"Antonine Plague?"

Severus reacted, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his back vest.

More than 20 years ago, a large-scale plague suddenly broke out in Rome. Because it was during the reign of the Antonine dynasty, it was called the "Antonine Plague" in history.

The Antonine Plague caused Rome to lose 1/10 of its troops, and Rome itself lost 1/3 of its population, and directly led to the end of the "Golden Age" of the Roman Empire.

The Antonine Plague first broke out from the armies suppressing Syria.

Two years later, the plague reached Rome proper.

Severus still vaguely remembered the scene he saw at that time.

Bodies lay open in the streets with no one to bury them.

The belly of the rotting corpse was swollen, its mouth was wide open and bursts of pus were spurting out like a torrent, its eyes were red, and its hands were raised upwards.

Bodies piled upon bodies rotted in corners, in streets, in courtyard porches, and in churches.

The fields are full of whitened grains standing tall, with no one harvesting and storing them. The large herds of sheep, goats, cattle and pigs are about to become wild animals. These livestock have forgotten the voices of the humans who once herded them.

After a long time, Severus finally woke up from his fear.

He shook his head at the doctor and said: "The symptoms of Antony's plague mainly include: severe diarrhea, vomiting, sore throat, ulcers, scalding fever, skin suppuration, and ulcers on hands and feet. These are not the same as the symptoms I have now."

"Your Majesty, I am absolutely not being alarmist."

The doctor sighed lightly, and then continued: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, in the past few days, thousands of people in Rome have developed the same symptoms as Your Majesty. Most of them, because The medication was ineffective, the fever persisted, and he died. There are still a steady stream of people suffering from similar symptoms."

"Now the medicines stored in the city of Rome are almost exhausted."

"Your Majesty, I can guarantee that this plague will be more severe than the previous Antonine plague. If we don't take measures in advance, the number of people who will die this time will probably exceed that of the Antonine plague."

Being able to treat Severus is enough to show that the doctor's level is the highest in Rome.

His words are definitely not groundless.

By this time, Severus was really panicking.

First of all, Rome is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and Rome really cannot withstand a great plague.

The Antonine Plague ended the Golden Age of Rome.

And this plague will most likely end Rome directly.

Secondly, Severus was infected with the plague, and the situation was not optimistic.

This made Severus feel unprecedented fear.

"Galen, where is Galen now?"

The Galen mentioned by Severus was the most famous and influential medical master in ancient Rome.

Galen's influence in Rome even exceeded Hua Tuo's influence in China.

More than twenty years ago, when the Antonine plague swept through Rome, Galen single-handedly saved Rome.

"Doctor Galen is currently retiring in his hometown of Asia Minor."

Upon hearing the doctor's words, Severus quickly turned to his men and shouted loudly: "Send people to Asia Minor immediately and bring Galen to Rome as quickly as possible."

After saying this, Severus seemed to have been suddenly drained of all his strength.

He leaned on the bed, gasping for breath for a long time, and then turned to the doctor and said: "Rome is currently in internal and external troubles, and I am the only one who has the ability to save Rome. If I die, Rome will most likely fall apart, and the plague will rage. Rome will never be able to stop the Chinese troops."

“Once Rome falls, all the glory of Rome’s founding will be in the past.”

"So, even if it's for Rome, you must save me."

The doctor looked at Severus very seriously, then bent down and said: "Your Majesty, please believe me, I will do my best to save you."
