It's just that it's somewhat too late at this time. The Kushan Empire's regular army's organizational ability is pretty good with Oswin, but the organizational power of the feudal state has never been improved.??? 6???hù?.
????ｍ????
Even though Gujarat is a relatively special state, when it received this news, it was a little slow to launch it. So by the time Ahmed began to organize people to harvest food, small-scale locusts had already arrived at the edge of South Asia, and the locust plague had already begun.
The spread began.
The Roman Empire actually managed to prevent a drop of rain from falling in East Africa after receiving the news, but this astonishing method can only be said to have curbed the number of locusts.
Because the first wave of locust plague was discovered too late, the scale of the second wave of locust outbreak, even if it was contained, reached an astonishing tens of billions. And because no rain fell in East Africa, these locusts basically experienced a cruel existence.
The test was such that those who survived were all elites.
Hungry locusts easily penetrated the two vassal states of Rome in East Africa. The Kingdom of Kush and the Kingdom of Axum were easily penetrated by the attacks of tens of billions of hungry locusts.
At the same time, Virgilio and Vincenzo, who had already arrived in the eastern border counties as Roman senators, were meeting with Ganassis, Duke of the eastern border counties.
After all, no one is stupid. It is completely useless to rely on words to explain these days. The matter is so serious, and the indicators issued by the Roman Senate to the Eastern Province are so crazy. Ganassis also received two beatings.
It's impossible to convince the other party with words, so be realistic and let Ganassis see what a locust plague is.
This is also the reason why Virgilio and Vincenzo flew back directly from Northern Europe and arrived in Ctesiphon. Compared with other methods, the two of them, as the commander and camp commander of the Tenth Knights Legion, both in terms of status and other aspects
It can be considered that we have actually achieved courtesy first and then attack.
In other words, other people may not be able to do this. After all, in Ctesiphon, the new home of the Duke of the Eastern Border County, if the other party is not willing to give the face, even if Su
There is no way to go there in person.
After Virgilio arrived, he was invited by Ganassis. The legion commander of the Tenth Knight came in person. Ganasis still needed to give him some face. Although the other party was a legion commander in terms of rank, but from the perspective of the country
Hierarchically speaking, the two things are on the same level.
"Duke." Virgilio bowed slightly. Normally he would say hello casually, but this time he couldn't do it. He had to give him face.
As soon as Ganassis saw this rhythm, he knew what these two people were doing.
"It goes without saying that you want to persuade me to accept it. There is something wrong with the Senate's brains. I really can't accept this kind of chaos. What the hell is 80% of the food output? Don't they know that we also need seeds for farming? This is just brains.
Isn't it good?" Ganassis set the tone first. No matter how hard you say it, Ganassis will not agree. The intensity of the seizure is like slaughtering their eastern border counties like pigs!
"Some things are difficult to explain clearly, but although I came here to persuade the Duke, more importantly, I want to take the Duke to East Africa. You will understand after taking a look." Virgilio said helplessly, knowing that he could not persuade him.
If it were him on Ganassis' side, he wouldn't accept it. Everyone is not a fool. Well, with 80% of the fucking food output, would I still be alive?
Ganassis looked at Virgilio and said nothing for a while.
"Duke, there is really no need to do this. If we really want to trick you, we don't need to use such despicable methods." Vincenzo said helplessly.
On the side of Ctesiphon, if you want to capture Ganassis, you have to have a large army. It is a joke to rely on just a few people to capture Ganassis. But in East Africa, Ganasis left his nest.
Even with someone protecting it, a team of Imperial Guardians can take it down.
It's even more direct. If the Thirty Eagle Banner Corps surrounded them, they wouldn't have to worry about anything, just capture them alive.
"At this time, I must be responsible for the eastern border counties." Ganassis said sincerely. As long as he stayed in Ctesiphon, he could resist the Roman emperor if he wanted to deal with him, but once he left here, he would
He was just an ordinary person, and once Ganassis was captured, the other eastern nobles would be unable to resist the will of the Senate.
It can be said that Ganassis is not only doing it for himself, but also for all the nobles in the east. It is good for Ganasis to resist the chaos of the Roman Senate. It can in fact unite the eastern nobles and at the same time, it can also bring down the big country.
The favor.
"This is a big problem." Virgilio had a headache. He could understand Ganassis's thoughts, but Ganassis had never been attacked by a locust plague and could not imagine what a super locust plague would look like. He still used his previous thinking.
When it comes to understanding the world, the problem is that the world has changed now. If we don't persuade Ganassis now, we will be doomed later when the locusts come over.
"Virgilio, it's rare that you are so willing to carry out the orders of the Senate. You must know that the previous tenth knights were able to cope with the orders of the Senate. But in your generation, things have really changed." Ganassi.
Sicha changed the subject, not wanting to get entangled in this matter.
"Forget it, I won't hide it from you. The Tenth Knight Legion has withdrawn from Northern Europe, but due to the distance problem, it will take about half a month to reach here at full speed. Duke Ganassis, please give me some face. I don't want to
To bring things to that level." Virgilio saw Ganassis change the subject, not discuss this, start talking about the commonalities between the two parties, and directly show off their cards.
Virgilio and Vincenzo coming to deliver the edict means that things are still under control, but if the Tenth Knights Legion comes to deliver the order, then you need to consider whether it is decent.
"Is it necessary to go to this extent?" Ganassis's face was ashen. The tenth knight came to read the edict in person. This was too much.
"Yes." Vincenzo nodded. At this time, the Duke's guards present were already tense, but Virgilio did not panic at all. The two of them were still directing the Tenth Knight to move forward.
What came were just two clones that had been condensed into illusions.
"The matter is very serious, so Duke Ganassis, you can take your people to East Africa to see the situation, and then make plans. You can choose where to go. The locust plague has broken out." Virgilio looked at Ganassis.
Si warned again.
"The Duke doesn't have to think about keeping us, the Tenth Knight will come and enforce it next time." Vincenzo was the first to disappear, and then Virgilio saluted Ganassis and disappeared.
Ganassis' expression became very ugly.
Looking at the place where the two disappeared, Ganassis fell into a deep silence. After a while, he exhaled and said to the guard on the side, "Inform Usnafaso to come over."
After Ganassis's deputy came over, Ganassis repeated what Virgilio said, and Usnafaso also found it very difficult.
"Duke, then should we go to East Africa to make sure." Usnafaso looked at Ganassis and asked, after all, if they want to see this kind of thing, they have to go together.
Unlike other duke deputies, Usna Faso is half a duke because Ganassis is not very good at commanding troops. He is proficient in strategy and tactics, but there are problems at the execution level. Usnafaso can complete Ganasis correctly.
The strategies and tactics issued were also the reason why Ganassis was able to suppress Parthia by relying only on the Eastern Province. Together, the two of them were also top players in the Roman Empire.
Of course, the shortcomings are also very clear. Without any one of them, the two of them are almost useless.
With Usna Faso here, there would be no problem for Ganassis to wrangle with the commander of the Grand Army. This man developed in a similar way to Yang Hu, both of them had no hands, but Usna Faso, without Ganasis,
In other words, he is just a legion commander who lacks strategic vision.
Therefore, without either of these two people, the eastern border counties would not be able to cope with the pressure from Rome. Therefore, when Usna Faso asked whether to go to Africa to see what the situation was like, he was talking about us.
Because if one of us is caught, it will be over, so we have to go together.
Ganassis seemed very entangled at this moment. Although he did not want to fight against the will of the Roman Empire, his current strength was here, and the thing requested by the Roman Senate this time was too outrageous, and he had enough reasons to go.
Refute.
Originally, Ganassis meant a fight, a fierce fight. After all, the Senate's request was simply not something that humans could fulfill. If their eastern border counties resisted, there would be many people who would understand, and such as the Tenth Knight.
The army will definitely not interfere.
At that time, maybe relying on the abilities of himself and Usna Faso, the fortified city of Ctesiphon, as well as the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, can still gain the Senate's face.
As a result, the first one to come over now was the Tenth Knight, a fun-loving man who should have been in theory. This was completely different from what Ganassis had expected, so it was very embarrassing.
Seeing the look on Ganassis's face, Usna Faso understood what the other party was thinking and dragged him away directly. At this time, Ctesiphon had already gathered a lot of private soldiers of the nobles, and the eastern nobles had successfully united.
So when Usnafaso dragged Ganassis away, some nobles quickly saluted him.
Soon, Usna Faso organized a group of people, who were all big nobles from the eastern provinces, and then headed straight for East Africa under the escort of more than a dozen internal Qi separated bodies.
What can I say, before more than a dozen people who had left their bodies with internal energy reached East Africa, they encountered tens of billions of hungry locusts that had been diverted away from East Africa and were no longer able to survive.
The vast earth-gray clouds, with a bit of fishy and poisonous aura, covered it from the horizon. When he saw this scene, the Ganassis were dumbfounded. He had seen locusts and also small ones.
It was a locust plague, but this was the first time he had seen such an overwhelming and gray sky.
Just look at the hammer, turn around, and harvest your own immature grain when you get back. As for how much to hand over to the Roman Senate, we'll talk about it later, so just cut it first.
The overwhelming locusts really frightened Ganassis, who had never seen a large locust plague!
Those who were also frightened by the overwhelming super locusts were not only Ganassis, but also the Central Asian aristocratic families. Even if the Central Asian aristocratic families received the news in advance, when tens of billions of locusts successfully flew across the Red Sea, they began to transit through Central Asia.
At that time, the Central Asian aristocratic family was also fooled.
The Anping Guo family, which is located in the hinterland of Central Asia, took certain precautions after receiving the news. However, there is a huge gap between Guo Zhao and other family heads in terms of experience. After all, she was not carefully selected by the Anping Guo family and trained according to the family head's education.
The head of the family was just from a wild background, and came up through talent. He had some abilities, but there were some things he had never experienced, and no one explained them to him, so he was not aware of them at all.
Guo Zhao carried out prevention and control according to the normal locust prevention methods, and then there were almost billions of locusts passing through their country. The wooden enclosed grain and grass on the ground were easily bitten by the super invincible enhanced version of the locusts, and finally they were gone.
It was said that the grain in the granary was eaten by locusts.
"I'm going to fight you all!" Guo Zhao frantically filled the super-large burning etching with crystals of heaven and earth essence one after another. The firelight in the dark night attracted countless locusts to fly in this direction.
, and then a sudden burst of flames directly burned and charred a large number of locusts. The angry Guo Zhao directly activated the family defense system after his own ground granary was eaten away.
Compared with other families, they still have to consider using the so-called large-scale etching formation. After all, the energy reserve is limited, and high-density energy crystals are so expensive that even wealthy families twitch. But the Guo family of Anping doesn't care. I at least have it in the strategic reserve warehouse.
Two hundred dollars for something like this will make me fight like hell!
Guo Zhao fought fiercely for three days and three nights, and then sat down with his legs crossed on the land that was very flat with not much grass or even dirt. He was no longer any different from Cinderella. He lost the battle.
, if Haftan hadn't held Guo Zhao's leg, all the high-energy crystals in the strategic storage warehouse would have been emptied, and a total of about 100 million locusts would have been wiped out.
However, there was no meaning. Not even a single burnt locust carcass was left behind. They all became food for the new locust army. As for why it stopped, it was because the entire Anping Guo family was covered in gray.
It has been eaten up, the grass is gone, no, not to mention the grass, the soil has been peeled off. After Guo Zhao's roasted locust buffet ended, the locust army also came over.
In short, they lost, were completely defeated, and a large and medium-sized feudal country was easily wiped out by an army of tens of billions of locusts in a few days.
After observing the way the Anping Guo family died, the other surrounding families gave up the fight and were unable to defeat them. They could not defeat them at all.
