Augustus Under the Horseshoe

Julian calendar four hundred years, Julius month, the thirtieth day. (June 30, 400 AD)

The thirteen legions of the Roman Empire, as well as a large number of mercenaries, were divided into several parts, day and night, taking turns fighting, day and night attacking both ends of the Sassanid Persian army. The endless fierce battle roar lasted for three days and nights, every minute and every second, soldiers on both sides died miserably in despair.

With the passage of time, the entire canyon is covered with a thick carpet of flesh and blood, and under the scorching sun, it slowly exudes the abominable breath of death and decay.

However, the soldiers of Sassanid Persian were not mediocre. They just supported the enemy's attack like a tide, and even under the cover of the steel golem, they continued to gain some small advantages on the eastern front.

However, those advantages are not enough to completely defeat Forgrim’s five legions in a short period of time. The white dragon who has mastered the air supremacy, was surprised to find: one gold, one red, two mighty waves, Covering every inch and corner of the canyon, one side shouted "For the empire!" in Latin and the other side shouted "Glory to the King of Kings!" in purgatory language, they collided fiercely together, making waves!

Every small droplet that splashes out is a living life.

With the passage of time, the two sides were in a stalemate inside this ten-kilometer-wide canyon. Peturabo in the west cannot break the battlefield of the Immortal Army. There is no way to move forward and go straight to the King of Kings.

The saintly meteorite cavalry of Sassanid Persia could not penetrate the copper and iron walls set up by Forgrim and break through the Roman defense.

At the war level, the two sides fought each other. However, at the strategic level...

The Roman troops on the west side of the gorge can obtain a steady stream of food from more than half of the Anatolian Peninsula behind them. Without even entering the battlefield at all, the soldiers of an entire legion, relying on the resources of the empire, rebuilt the catapult and the scorpion crossbow at an incredible speed.

The imperial army on the east side of the canyon can also get sufficient supplements from Syria, Palestine and other places. There are a total of five legions disrupted and spread in all corners of the Chiliqia province to maintain the stability of the food road. Even the civilians who rebelled against the Persian occupied areas communicated with each other, regaining nearly a quarter of their lost ground.

However, the Sassanid Persian army trapped in the center really cut off the source of food and grass. The logistic units from Armenia and the imperial mainland were beaten by the five legions running around Ciliqia. Good luck The one who was still able to escape went back, and the one with bad luck left all the supplies and lives in the hands of the Legionnaires.

Counting from the outbreak of the battle of the steel cage, in the cold wings of the White Dragon Legion covering the sky, the army of the King of Kings has lost its air superiority, and he is proud that he has not obtained a piece of food from the outside world. Each of the noble cavalrymen of China carries two to three high war horses: the food intake of those large animals is three to four times that of ordinary humans! If you are hungry, you will lose your body fat and lose your combat effectiveness in a short time!

So, on the third night of the battle of despair, the guys of Sasanian Persian tremblingly took out the last handful of wheat from the sack and made the last supper for everyone who didn't know the truth.

They looked at the soldier’s feasting food and wanted to say something. Then, they felt a chill of death, like frozen claws, slowly rushing up to his neck from the soles of their feet—the King of Kings personally summoned him. They put a knife against their necks, and said very harshly: It is forbidden to disclose the food to anyone.

On the other side, Painhurs was looking at his witchcraft crown, which was gorgeous and complicated to the utmost. On the perfect body of pure gold, densely carved with exquisite totems and mysterious runes. The front half of the ring is inlaid with a gorgeous golden devil with nine snake tails and horns.

The golden devil located in the center of his forehead looks the most massive, and the other eight small golden devils evenly surround both sides. The farther away from him, the smaller the body. The demons held a huge golden shield in their left hand, and in the center of the nine shields, there was a huge oval cavity.

Their right hand held a golden giant sword high above their heads. The nine handles are inlaid with gems and a long sword with a large number of mysterious runes hollowed out, like nine shrinking golden peaks, turning into the top of the ring, the sharp and beautiful golden crown.

The crown is divided into front and back halves. The inner and outer rings of the second half circle are all carved with the great achievements of Cyrus the Great in building the Achaemenid dynasty. The king of kings, the eight characters of the gods, is like a pair of wings of a spell. Carved on both sides of the emperor.

The outer ring of the first half is inlaid with nine-headed pure gold horror devil in the exquisite and complicated flame pattern. But the inner ring, in a large and unpredictable background, is carved with four lifelike evil gods, the true gods of subspace.

Painhurs dropped the crown back up. Of the nine pitch-black, hollow grooves, four of them have been filled with gems, exuding four fascinating chaotic rays.

The dark green jade is an accidental receipt after defeating the bear goblin tribe, the soul of the ghost powder is the trophy for defeating the king of the hill giant, and the two azure sapphires of the same color as the arcane are defeating the descendants of the gods. After that, the baby that was buckled alive from her golden staff.

In view of the fact that the two arcane gems, both of azure blue, are located on both sides of the crown of the crown, then the two stones, one green and one pink, correspond to the same color.

"According to the current clues, this crown lacks one pink, one green, and two red gems, and the vacancy in the center without any clues at all. The ballads passed down by the ancestors only describe the beauty of the crown as a whole. ."

Painhurs recalled the experience of several wars in the past, as well as the testimony of several captives. The Tefrin Damuhu, who was covered with gold ornaments, aimed at his countless crowns. He had a pink gem on his body. .

The King of Kings even ordered the craftsman to cast a brand-new golden crown. At that time, when his demons were possessed and slaughtered over the sea, the bright golden light above his head was shining with two reds and one green. Three shades of chaos: Persian claws have been patrolling the grasslands, searching for the legacy of Cyrus the Great.

"Just finding four gems can make the crown so powerful. I really don’t know how much this golden crown can reach if all nine stones are collected. Forget it, it’s dark, and again. The crew has gone out to fight, prepare to assemble."

Painhurs sighed. Suddenly, outside the tent, the sound of a terrifying storm sounded, and it was getting bigger and bigger. The warchief hurriedly put on the witchcraft crown, carried a bow, and saw a huge head. The white dragon fell from the sky! The cold dragon's claws and scales hit the ground at the moment of landing, and a pair of nasal gaps as large as the heads of humans and horses spewed out a frightening cold fog.

"White hair, holding a long bow, wearing a golden crown...Are you the warchief of the centaur? Frontline Urgent News!"

Riding on the dragon’s back is an unusually young-looking human male wearing a Mithril chain mail shirt and a Roman officer’s helmet. On his handsome and immature face, the pair of confident pupils flashes with two touches of pale silver. The psionic flame.

The Fifth Frost Ridge White Dragon Legion is indeed equipped with some spellcasters, riding on the back of the white dragon to cast spells, but the human male in front of him looks too young, and the dragon he controls is too huge. Among the dragons flying in the sky, the size can almost rank in the top three.

Relations households, heirs of nobles, and those who walk through the back door.

A human who seemed to be underage, could actually control an almost adult white dragon. A series of words instantly popped into the head of the warchief, but on the surface, he still spoke politely to the dragon guard.

"Excuse me, what happened?"

"Hurry up and get on the dragon's back. The situation is critical. I'll talk about it on the road."

The young human showed a strange thing to the pale warlock-on the dragon's back covered with frosty white scales, there was a large friction blanket, and on the left and right sides of the blanket, there was a pair Meters high, fixed wooden handrails.

A dragon saddle specially made for centuries?

Pain Hess leaped slightly, and his pale four hooves lightly tapped on the dragon's back. With a ton of terrifying body, the white dragon that was pressing down directly screamed and squatted on the ground.

"Hiss—sorry, I just considered your body shape and didn't consider the quality."

Looking at the white dragon under his crotch, the overwhelmed and pitiful appearance, the young dragon guard showed a shy smile.

"The empire needs you to fly to the eastern front to fight immediately. Look, can I temporarily turn you into a kitten? So that my dragon can fly? Ah, by the way, when I first met, I haven't introduced myself yet. It is an active soldier of the Fifth Frost Ridge White Dragon Legion in the Western Roman Empire: Felavis Etius."
