Julian calendar four hundred years, Julius month, the twenty-sixth. (June 26, 400 AD)

Chirichia

"Damn it, what happened to Constantinople?"

Surrounded by a hundred phoenix guards, the handsome warrior, dressed in fine gold chain mail and heavy fish-scale armor, slightly frowned his good-looking brows. Forgrim's exquisite and gorgeous shoulder armor and belt, decorated with large clusters of purple tassels, swayed gently in the breeze.

Each iron piece of the golden scale armor is painted with purple and gold double-color paint, and is painted with the totem of the third Cyrenaica Legion: a beautiful phoenix covered in flames, not so much armor, as a top-notch Artwork.

The top of the helmet of the lord of the third legion is inlaid with a double-headed eagle made of gold, two clusters of bright red helmets, like the flames of the golden eagle's wings, stretched out to the sides. , Burning wantonly in the strong wind.

And his fair-skinned, smooth and tender hands that didn’t look like a soldier, tightly holding a two-handed sword burning the flames of hell, the metal war blade, as if just taken out of the furnace, exuding a hot white light, and Distorted heat wave.

A gorgeous cloak made entirely of peacock tail feathers, woven with golden silk thread, and a pair of extremely exquisite ivory sculptures, also decorated with his thin shoulders, those two decorative ivory, densely engraved with angels and eagles The exquisite relief of: No, it is not ivory at all, but green-skinned fangs-the terrible nightmare that has plagued the Romans for hundreds of years: blood axe orcs, a pair of fangs of the Supreme Warboss Sulena! !

In front of him is a heavily fortified imperial castle, strong walls, towering towers, and a large number of soldiers guarding it. The flaw is that the top of the castle is flying the Sassanian Sphinx flag.

Behind him, there were a total of ten elite soldiers from the legions, they lined up in a neat and orderly array of hundreds, extending to the end of the field of vision! Each centurion team, flying a scarlet eagle flag, densely covered the sky above Forgrim.

"War commander."

The lord of the Tenth Strait Legion walked over worriedly.

"Constantinople...the heart of the empire may have something wrong, our ten legion commanders, none of us can get direct contact with Pigeon Whispering Court. Before, Augustus deployed troops in order to manipulate the overall situation, almost day and night. No rest, every hour, will contact all the commanders of the army to ensure that they can grasp the first-hand battle report.

But now, three days have passed, and no legion commander has received a message from your Majesty. "

"I know, now I can't get in touch with Your Majesty and Dove Whispering."

Phoenician's Phoenix rubbed his increasingly aching brows. How to kill Cilicia in the fastest possible time, surround the King of Kings between the two armies, and annihilate him in one fell swoop, which has caused him a headache. Something has happened in the capital now... It is really misfortune that never comes singly!

"War commander, or else, ignore the cities and fortresses on both sides of the marching road. Let each soldier carry more dry food. We marched directly to the battlefield. The main army of the King of Kings was defeated. Those who stayed in Cilicia The miscellaneous soldiers will lose all the will to resist. It's really not worth spending time with these guys. Moreover, we don't have extra time to waste."

A Phoenix Guard said hesitantly.

"Too dangerous!"

The other Phoenix Guard rebuked loudly.

"The last time I contacted Ge Yuting, the other party said that those demons had already pierced through the steel cage, almost one-third of the defense line. As long as the other party sent 10,000 people to build the most forefront of the fallen official business, it would trap us one or two. God, then, most soldiers will completely lose their combat effectiveness due to hunger and fatigue."

"but······"

The Phoenix Guard, who was refuted to the red face, wanted to refute the other party's words, but was stopped by the legion master.

"Stop arguing, I thought of a good way."

————————

On the other hand, stationed inside the castle, there were about one thousand two hundred wolves shivering in the face of the hundreds of thousands of heavily armed Legionnaires. Although they have seen such a huge scale, at that time there was the King of Kings supporting the field!

Each legionnaire has learned a lot of knowledge about wars and creatures. They are professional infantrymen who do not produce, receive war training and exercises throughout the year, and can deal with any situation proficiently. They are professional killers and butchers, and are the cornerstone of the empire. With pillars.

According to rumors, every one hundred soldiers of the Legion can slay a giant dragon that is immature, and eliminate any hostile danger.

For every thousand Legionnaires, a smaller castle can be captured, and the rebels inside can be slaughtered with the fastest efficiency.

And every ten thousand professional killers, under the leadership of their legion chief, can even wipe out a savage civilization.

The Jackals are now facing more than 100,000 professional soldiers who are heavily armed! And ten terrifying powerhouses who are approaching in strength and have even become legends!

Even if they can resist by relying on the strong barriers of the empire, how many days can such a futile defense last?

Some timid jackals even complained about the King’s merciless orders and tried to open the door to surrender. However, they were immediately brutally suppressed by the wolves. In order to ensure that these vassals did not rebel against the legion, all monster leaders’ The children, all taken hostages, were placed and placed under house arrest by the half demons.

"Listen! Cowards! Don't be afraid! The purpose of these legions is not us! They probably won't waste time on us, everyone, go into combat! If they attack the city, then fight with them! Drain the last drop of blood! If they choose to leave, immediately send out scouts, harass, and ambush the troops carrying food on the road!"

A she-wolf draped in Roman chain mail and full of tawny hair, holding the Sasanian Persian battle flag high, roared hoarsely.

Although she was also very anxious and scared inside. But still in front of thousands of wolves, still showing a fearless posture, inspiring the morale of the monsters, the lower part of the upright abdomen, through the dense chain mail locks, you can see eight bulging sacs, full of Long-haired **** with milk.

Well, a child was snatched by Teflin, and now a fierce she-wolf.

The wolves stood trembling on the city wall, holding their breath and holding their weapons tightly, waiting for the action of the Roman legion, as if they were waiting for the final sentence of death.

"Woo! Woo!"

In the end, in the high-pitched and stern horn, ten scarlet eagle flags representing the legion itself were lifted high by the flag officers and marched towards the west. Hundreds of scarlet flags, one size smaller, also followed the legion. The paces of the leaders began to move. Finally, hundreds of thousands of legionnaires, as if commanded by the same brain, lifted their left foot uniformly and took a shocking and incomparably neat march.

Hundreds of thousands of people seem to be the same nerve command, order and prohibition of puppet flesh and blood, looking at the wolves on the wall in a moment.

"call-"

Seeing the torrent of metal heading west, the jackals breathed a sigh of relief, a little timid, and even sat on the wall with their legs shaking.

In any case, those terrible guys thought it was not worth wasting time on themselves. The jackals barely recovered a humble life. Next, they only need to symbolically harass the opposing food team and complete the king of kings. The task is fine.

However, when the shocking footsteps walked away, the jackal man suddenly discovered that there were more than a hundred scarlet eagle flags standing under the castle, staring at the wolves on the wall, and using cattle. A simple wooden fortress was built near the castle with building materials carried by horses, horses and wooden carts in front of him!

A few wolves wanted to attack and prevent the other party from building, but... there were only a thousand or two hundred people on their own, and almost no one was equipped with iron armor. The other party was the terrifying scale of an army of 10,000 people!

In this way, the Tenth Strait Legion only took about two hours. A simple and effective wooden camp was erected from the ground, like a nail, embedded in the flesh and blood of the castle, making the jackals extremely uncomfortable!

About a day later, a mighty food transport team came quietly from Syria in the south, and the Tenth Army stationed in the same place immediately dispatched them to **** them to the west. However, there is still a full battalion, six hundred legionaries, stationed inside the camp, gazing at the dirty jackals in the fortress.

The wolf did a little calculation. He has 1,200 wolves, and the opponent has only 600 Legionnaires. The number is an advantage. However, these mobs in light armor are really enough for professional soldiers to kill. ······

In this way, Fukun led ten legions on the empire’s flat and spacious roads day and night, rushing to the west frantically. Every time he passed a castle, one or two battalions of legionaries would be scattered and stationed and stared. Slightly, avoid those **** enemy troops coming out to harass.

If you encounter some big cities, four to six battalions of heroic fighters will be scattered, and they will be nailed to them. The largest capital city: Tarsus has five battalions and 3,000 legions. Soldiers, and three thousand auxiliary legions guarded day and night!

The Tenth Straits Legion, even more importantly, served as a grain transport officer, and escorted the food from Syria in an orderly manner. The terrifying strength of the entire legion made all the troops responsible for harassment prohibitive.

Fogrim's main force, unimpeded all the way, is like a huge sharp knife, stabs the king of kings at the fastest speed!
