——It is said by the elders in Jianghu that wild animals are generally afraid of fire. In fact, this is not the case.
Wild beasts are not afraid of fire at the level of lighters or torches. Netizens who are too hairy and weak in fire joked that what wild beasts are really afraid of is...
In fact, it is the kind of forest fire that burns through the entire mountain.
Only wild animals would be truly afraid of such fires - the same goes for floods.
When a fire breaks out in a forest, in a jungle known for its "law of the jungle", there may be spectacles such as tigers and deer lying on the same log to cross the river, wolves and sheep running side by side...
In the tenth year of Zhenguan, there was no trouble in the world. All the counties in the Tang Dynasty were in peace and prosperity, and all the counties in the country were prosperous. There were no mountain torrents or fires. There was no trouble.
but……
The peace and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty were wonderful to some people, but not to others.
Marcus trembled and looked at the scene in his dream with horror...
In the dream, I looked at the situation in Chang'an City with trembling and horror...
Can Rome really compete with those legions of soldiers?
...If it were just a legion composed of ordinary soldiers, Marcus had reason to believe that the Roman legion and the bravery of the Romans would not...never lose to anyone. But...the bravery of the Romans, that is, Oulu His kind of bravery.
after all……
is not enough.
Only this level of power may be able to compete with the army of the Tang Empire in the past, but...
In the future, something terrible is awakening in this Far Eastern continent. If something like that happens, for Rome, then... then...
This is the case in this world. An empire that only has eloquent scholars will end slowly and have endless troubles; but when an empire is filled with bloody and brave warriors, the empire will be militaristic and end quickly, although such an end can leave some people behind. Hope, but... the price of hope is an unknown number of lives.
Marcus had read every history book he could find, and he knew this. And now...
There is no need to worry about Rome for the time being. Today, Rome has a well-connected government and a rich and powerful country. It is not afraid of any competitors. The warm wind of the Mediterranean can support a strong Rome.
but……
This Far Eastern Empire called "Tang" was no simple opponent.
This opponent is much stronger than the other competitors Rome faces!
There is no other reason. In the Tang Empire... brave warriors can read and think, but knowledgeable people with good backgrounds showed their war potential in this grand event... and such potential is by no means what ordinary brave men can do. Than, this is bravery armed with wisdom, and it is also the most terrifying bravery.
If the future heirs of the Tang Empire are like this, then...
According to Marcus's estimation, even if the Roman Empire could not compete with the Tang Empire, it should still be able to survive for a hundred years or so in its current state. But now...
But at that moment...
Marcus noticed it.
Marcus found that a sense of fear that he could not control quietly emerged from his heart.
That's right...
That's the feeling of fear. Unmistakable fear.
And after thinking about it carefully, the truth is indeed the case. If Rome can't...can't have its own set of things, if Rome can't cultivate equally powerful talents within itself, and produce in batches those who are both smart enough and fierce enough. Talent, then...
In the future, how to compete with this terrifying Tang Empire!
Realizing this terrible reality, Marcus quickly left Chang'an City.
Marcus couldn't laugh or cry this time, because he... came to this empire in the first place to inquire about news. It was said that the Tang Empire had built a venue as huge as the Colosseum, specifically for military experiments - even though in
In the language of these "Han" Tatars, the venue was used for performances, but... in Marcus' view, it was a proper military testing ground.
In view of the failure of the plan to divide the interests of the Tang Empire in the southeastern area, although he did not receive any punishment from Hannibal the Younger, Marcus knew that... most Romans now had no idea what kind of powerful opponent they were facing.
In the face of this kind of opponent, Rome has no overall vigilance at all - although the Tang Empire does not have it either, this is the terrifying part of the matter, because the people of the Tang Empire clearly give people a sense of... These guys,
Even if no opponent can see it, he will still continue to improve his scent.
This is not the case in Rome, so...as one of the few knowledgeable people in Rome, I have to do something, so because of the guilt of being sent to Southeast Asia but ultimately managing it, and also because of being an elite Roman.
With a sense of responsibility, Marcus finally wrote a parchment himself and presented it to His Majesty Hannibal.
And finally, as an envoy of free movement, disguised as a business traveler, he returned to the land of the Far East, and... after hearing the news that the Tang Empire had established a military experimental field to train troops, he finally came to the hinterland of the Tang Empire and entered the capital.
But who would have thought that he originally...originally just came here to see the level of the Tang Empire's legions, but this time he found that the Tang Empire was simply outrageous...this empire actually didn't even have the ability to educate aristocratic young people.
So brave too.
This was completely different from the situation in Rome. Marcus immediately felt that he could not stay any longer. He quickly left the Tang Dynasty and took a boat from Hangzhou to escape to Southeast Bay, thinking in his mind
With such a powerful enemy, what should Rome do to survive...
Marcus is the only one among the forces currently stationed by Rome in the Southeast. Since the plan to establish the Andaman Islands fortress, split the South China Sea, and carve out meat from the Tang Empire’s sea trade profits failed, little Hannibal became furious.
...No, no one knows how long little Hannibal was meditating in the study.
But in short, Marcus is currently dispatched alone. At least on the surface, Rome no longer focuses on the southern neighboring regions of the Far Eastern Empire. This is very easy to understand, after all...
The neighboring country to the south of the Far Eastern Empire has already killed itself half to death with its stupid policies. Several small countries have changed their dynasties. Their state can be described as smoke and fire - how can this country of Fira not attract the attention of others?
Thinking of aid? Then it is normal not to send a serious envoy. Except for a few servants from home... who are equivalent to bringing them at their own expense, Marcus is currently on the mission alone.
But Marcus is on a mission alone, but that doesn’t mean...
