Chapter 1109 The Beginning of Turmoil in Rome
Lu Meng was extremely popular at the time and became the most powerful person in the Yuan family, the aristocratic family, and the Eight Hidden Dragons.
Sun Quan also became the first force to openly start taking the lead, completely turning this originally peaceful area into a turbulent water.
When the news reached Rome, Penilence could no longer sit still.
Severus actually didn't care much about these things. He had not yet dealt with all the problems of his generation. He was a man with a strong desire for control, and he would not let go until Rome was integrated.
There was no energy left to deal with the problems of the next generation, so this task was once again thrown on Penilence's head.
Especially after reading Lu Meng's information, Penilence was completely panicked.
What a joke, are all the young people of the Han Dynasty so perverted? If you let Penilence do it himself, he may not be able to do it so easily as shown in the simple battle report.
Penilence, who didn't understand Lu Meng's true level, became anxious, and quickly convened the Senate for an emergency meeting, and created a secret technique to test qualifications.
How should I put it? It is something that can only be seen when you reach a certain level, and this level is probably the Wumiao level.
This thing is not that difficult. It is basically equivalent to a conceptual secret technique that a military god like Caesar can master at a glance.
Penilence screened almost everyone, from barbarians to citizens, and finally gathered a dozen qualified young people .
First of all, there were three young men who had already distinguished themselves in the war, Belisarius, Justinian, and Narses.
When Rome was in turmoil for the first time and Severus was nearly killed by Britannia, they relied on their talents to hold back most of the Britannia legions.
If the combination of the Fifth Skylark and the Fourteenth had not been so poor at cooperation and they had not been chased and attacked by an understaffed Knights of the Round Table, Severus might not have been in danger at all.
Penelence brought the three of them to meet Octavian and Caesar, and both gave very good comments, especially Belisarius, whom Caesar thought had great potential.
The three of them are currently the commanders of the Citizen Corps, and their legitimate identities allowed Penilence to directly include them in the training plan.
The young people of the Han Dynasty are so outstanding that they, the Romans, must cultivate young people who can compete with them.
Next is Caracalla. The existence of Liu Chan made Penelence feel that his son Severus should also be trained, at least in terms of status.
Except for Caracalla, no matter how well others are trained, if their status is slightly inferior, the impact on their future may be very different.
As expected, Caracalla will be the next Roman emperor. Although Rome does not have a hereditary system, Caracalla is doing a good job and has already gained the support of two powerful dukes, Arnubis and Ganasis.
Penilence thought it would be fine if he could sell it at a good price.
The next one was a talent discovered among the barbarians, Saladin. He was a surprise, and even Caesar was a little unsure of his future achievements. He seemed to be qualified to break through to become a god of war.
Following closely was a young man dug out from the Claudius family.
Lucius Claudius Tiberius, a descendant of the second emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, also reached the level of breaking through the realm at a young age. He was also well-known in Rome and was given the title of Sword Emperor Lucius. Even Su said that he was one of the few people in Rome who had the hope of being on par with him.
After discovering that the opponent had the potential to command a large army, Penilence directly included him in the training plan.
What a joke, what's the point of fighting alone these days, commanding a large army is the way to go in the future.
In Rome, emperor was not considered a sacred title. Arnubis could also be called emperor, but he was only a county emperor, which was completely different from Severus, who was called emperor because he was the first citizen of Rome.
Next was Statius, Penelunus' own grandson. Penelunus had never expected that his son was so dull, but his grandson was quite promising.
Next was a female commander, Annia, the only queen in Roman history who commanded an army.
Normally Rome did not have female generals, but the existence of Wu Zhao made the Roman Senate think that they had to find one, otherwise, if others had one and they didn't, they would lose face.
The last one is a bit special, Romulus, the by-product of Nero's summons of the First Italian Legion.
A character who came out of myths and stories, attached to a little Roman boy. At this moment, Romulus is both a man and a god. If he must be described, he is a god who has reincarnated into a human being.
After searching the entire Roman Empire, Penelence found a total of eight young men. The others were either too old or too young, and these eight were the only ones of the right age.
After a brief discussion, Penilence put these eight people together to lay the foundation first.
However, just like how Han Xin and others taught Zhuge Liang, these young people who were born with military talent completely emptied out Penilence's theories before long.
The only thing left was the issue of practical experience. Fearing that he might mislead his students, Penilunst sent these people to Octavian after laying the foundation.
Octavian trained for a month and then led this group of people directly to Caesar.
"Emperor, I can't teach you, I'll give it to you!"
After leaving behind these words, he hurriedly ran away under the murderous gaze of Virgilio and others.
Octavian was also helpless and could only beat these young men himself.
Teach? He really can't teach.
He is not good at this either. It's okay for him to teach ordinary people, but he'd better forget about teaching these people with potential in the Martial Temple.
It would be better to leave it to Caesar who is good at training generals.
As for Virgilio's angry look, Octavian just patted his butt and slipped away. What a joke! Caesar had the Tenth Knight, so he didn't have the Second Augustus.
If you have the guts, come and beat him.
Virgilio could only stare angrily. Octavian had stuffed eight strangers into the private space between them and Caesar's land. If they could fight, they would definitely put Octavian in a sack.
However, it was useless. Firstly, it was because of Octavian's identity, and secondly, the Second Augustus led by Alessandro was eyeing him covetously.
Who doesn’t have ancestors? Don’t you think so?
Even if Caesar and Octavian were adopted father and son, the vassal of my vassal is not my vassal.
Factions are a problem that is difficult to avoid anywhere.
The Claudius family is large, but it is really just a general term.
Just like the Chen family, Sima family, and Xun family can all be called aristocratic families, if we break it down further, the descendants of almost every emperor in Claudius are different factions, but they all inherited a unified name on the theme.
This is also the reason why the First Italy did not recognize Caesar and Octavian as their ancestors, and instead pursued Nero. Although everyone can indeed claim to be relatives, biological and adopted are not the same thing.
"hiss!"
After Caesar finished a military flag simulation, he felt himself sweating.
It’s not that these eight little guys bring him pressure, but they are really difficult to teach.
He is the kind of person who needs to be put under pressure, but if the pressure is too great, he may not be able to be saved.
In order to control this balance, Caesar was so tired that he was sweating profusely.
"Your level is too low, keep improving it, Virgilio, you come!"
As an expert in taking care of babies, the first thing Caesar thought of after being tired was how to be lazy.
He decisively sold Virgilio out, and then used dual command to remotely control Virgilio to fight against these young people.
It not only reduced his pressure, but also made these young people more motivated.
Virgilio was also considered a large army commander, but his large army commandership was different from the large army commandership generally recognized by the Han Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty divided military affairs into thirteen categories, but Virgilio only had one skill, which was to find flaws, which was considered at the level of a large army. His combat effectiveness was enough to cooperate with the Tenth Knight, but he could never stand on his own.
Under Caesar's dual command, Virgilio was fighting a lot of big guys, which was fine in one-on-one fights, but when it was one-on-two, he started to sweat profusely.
When the quality of everyone's soldiers is almost the same, if he is fighting one against two, he still needs Caesar's help to make up for it. If he is fighting one against three, he will just be defeated, and Caesar will not be able to make up for it even if he tries .
But it is impossible for him to lose. Caesar is commanding him. Is he going to lose to a bunch of little brats?
Virgilio felt that he could not tolerate this, so he decided to take his good brother Vincenzo to jail with him.
Caesar was very satisfied. The levels of both sides were similar. Through mutual exchanges, both sides made progress, and he was happy to see this kind of progress.
He also looked at the Han Dynasty, and he roughly understood what was going on with Lu Meng. In fact, it was the same as his dual command, but because of his spiritual talent, Lu Meng's imitation of the god of war was more convenient.
Even if there are ten thousand problems, it is undeniable that Lu Meng is indeed very strong now.
Even if Penilence could go up and crush Lu Meng directly, Lu Meng could easily kill ordinary people and noobs.
If we compare them one by one, there is really no one among the young and middle-aged Romans who can match Lu Meng.
Should Severus and Penelence be sent to fight Lu Meng?
Or let the Duke of a border county fight Lu Meng?
Putting aside the question of whether the Duke of Bian County can win, the identities and status of the two sides are completely unequal. Are those people in the Han Dynasty who are of equal status to the Duke of Bian County losers?
No Roman senator would have such a stupid idea.
But putting this group of people aside, there is really no one in Rome who can beat Lu Meng.
A hundred thousand troops are as easy to use as one's own arms. This is no longer a problem that can be solved by one or two super elite legions.
Even if the Military Soul and the Three Talented Legions really take the lead, Lu Meng is not afraid. At most it is a matter of casualty ratio. Only an extraordinary existence like the Miracle Legion can be killed directly.
Commanding a large and incomplete army like Virgilio , without the Tenth Knights, and commanding his troops to face Lu Meng, he would die a very spectacular death.
"What a headache!" Caesar stroked his chin and pondered how to create an incomplete military god for Rome.
However, the last experience of being struck to pieces by thunder taught him that he could not take direct action and could only provide assistance to the Roman Empire within a limited scope.
"How about, what about the church?" After thinking for a long time, Caesar turned his attention to the only unstable factor within the Roman Empire.
If the power of the church is not restricted, it is actually very powerful, which is exactly what Rome is afraid of.
Whether it was the angel warriors, the common barbarian believers, or the so-called heavenly world, the Roman Empire attached great importance to them.
But at the same time, Caesar also understood that he couldn't act recklessly.
The chaos he had experienced, the several dangerous situations he had encountered, and the experience of being stabbed to death by the Senate in the end all told him one thing.
That is, war is not just about swords and spears. War is the continuation of politics, and politics is the continuation of war.
The evil style of play is very useful and can kill most people, but the biggest problem with the evil style of play is that it is not majestic enough, and there will always be people who want to make an extra effort to kill you.
But he died because of his lack of dignity.
So he and Penilence came up with an idea, which was how to find a reason to go to war with Heaven without violating the overall situation.
The world is big, but it cannot accommodate Rome and heaven at the same time.
They have basically figured out the situation in Heaven, which is similar to Asgard in the Nordic faction within the British Empire and Olympus in the Greek faction.
If Heaven could be captured and transformed, then its power could be integrated into Rome.
In past wars, Northern Europe and Greece have caused them a lot of trouble.
The Valkyrie Legion, the Valkyrie Legion, the Saint Seiya Legion, the Sea Warrior Legion...a series of legions are legions that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Eagle Flag.
Although Rome is large, the Eagle Legion is still the elite among the elite.
When Caesar thought of this, his brows furrowed, because Northern Europe and Greece in Great Britain were actually very troublesome and not something that could be easily solved.
Similarly, there should be certain hidden dangers hidden in heaven.
The resurrection of the angel legion and the so-called guidance to heaven have caused deep prejudice among the Roman high-ranking officials.
"We must make a decision early!" Caesar thought deeply.
The church's apparent strength is limited to the existence of five Eagle Flag Legions, which are all members of the Royal Guards. In addition, there are also a considerable number of barbarian believers. If a real fight breaks out, millions of barbarians may have to be killed.
This blow was also a blow to Rome.
Of course, the Roman and Han dynasties could crush this amount of power. The problem was how to appease the remaining barbarians after killing the church, which was the top priority.
If the remaining barbarians also rushed forward at that time, Rome would probably suffer heavy losses.
If it were before, they would not have considered this, but after seeing the church barbarians who avenged St. Peter III, they became silent.
The biggest problem with the barbarians is that they cannot be unified. If there really were an entity that could integrate the barbarians, Rome would be in real trouble.
