Chapter 552: Dragon roars loudly, defeating all enemies [Subscribe]

Severus stood on the chariot and opened the brocade box in his hand layer by layer.

The second layer of the brocade box was a golden cabinet forged from gold, with statues of gods carved on all four sides, including war scenes and grand sacrificial scenes.

The texture of the gold cabinet is ancient, solemn and dignified.

When the gold cabinet is opened, there is a crystal square box inside.

Inside the crystal, there is a stone slab about a foot long and three or four inches thick.

The stone slab is covered with ancient characters.

It is a cuneiform script that only existed in early civilizations and records the events of gods.

The prologue reads: God is on earth!

"May the gods bless Rome!"

As soon as the stone slab came out, all the Roman generals around dismounted from their horses and looked respectful.

"You decided to use the Praise of the Gods?!"

Theus had a bad feeling and wanted to stop it.

But Severus looked fanatical, "Of course we must use it. Only the Gods' Praise can quickly defeat the Wei people and give Rome a great victory!"

"Use it." The great elder also said.

The killing of Lucius and Cicero made the two men even more eager to use the gods' praise.

Holding the crystal slate in his hand, Severus began to read the words on the slate.

The words on the surface of the stone slab slowly glowed as he recited.

The outer layer of crystal cracked and fell off like an eggshell.

hum-

A ray of light overflowed from the stone slab.

"Praise to the gods! This is the third time this has been used since the founding of Rome. The previous two times have created the glory of the Romans!"

The great elder was also a little nervous and spoke to Theus in a low voice:
"It will be the same this time!"

Severus held the tablet high and recited the last sentence:
"The glory of the gods will shine on Rome again!"

"God is with Rome!"

The words on the surface of the stone slab resonate with heaven and earth.

The clouds in the sky were surging like the tides, and a strange phenomenon was occurring.

"The Romans mobilized the legendary relics of the gods."

Not far from Cao Cao, Vologases saw the pale golden divine light rising from the rear of the Roman camp, and a strange look flashed across his face.

He also made some secret arrangements for today, for the confrontation between Wei and Rome.

But he didn't dare to start it easily.

Parthia could not afford another defeat, otherwise it would be doomed.

Vologases was waiting for an opportunity for both Rome and Wei to suffer a mutual defeat.

The Tribute to the Gods, the Imperial Seal of the Wei Dynasty, and the Stone Tablet of Gods and Demons of Parthia are actually similar things that can store the destiny of a country.

The characteristic of Hymn of the Gods is its aggressive nature.

This is somewhat similar to the Chixiao Sword, which can generate a red dragon and is indestructible.

In the Romans' perception, the Hymn to the Gods is a symbol of the divine right of kings and also a sacred artifact left to the Romans by the gods!

On the battlefield, the two armies were fighting fiercely.

And the praise of the gods held up by Severus became more and more brilliant.

The stone slab seemed to have turned into a huge gem, radiating divine light.

The halo it emitted echoed the heaven and earth, and the formed column of light rushed into the sky.

It was at this moment that Cao Cao released his dragon soul.

Severus looked disdainful when he saw the purple halo and the real dragon rushing up from behind Cao's army.

He could already feel that the Hymn of the Gods in his hand was emitting extremely magical power.

Under the divine light of the stone slab, the shadow of the god appeared in the sky.

He was wearing armor and holding a huge spear that pierced through the sky and the earth.

When he swung his spear high in the sky, rays of light spread out and spread across the battlefield. The combat effectiveness of the Romans who were fighting against the Wei Dynasty, both their soldiers and generals, was significantly improved.

The commander of the Third Legion, Augustus, originally only relied on the divine stone armor inherited from his family. He possessed combat power close to that of a divine general, but he was not a true divine general.

But under the light of praise from the gods, his power increased and he had the strength corresponding to that of a god general.

"General Wei will die!"

Augustus took the initiative to meet Zhang Liao who was leading his troops to attack!

The combat effectiveness of the entire Roman army seemed to have been raised to a higher level.

His soldiers seemed to have entered a state of frenzy and launched a new round of offensive against the Wei army.

The praise of the gods, when triggered, can bless the tribe with national fortune and enhance combat effectiveness.

However, after observing this method, Cao Cao felt it was mediocre.

His divine manifestation when he ascended the throne, or the stories in China about the Qin Emperor transforming into the Ancestral Dragon, Emperor Wu of Han creating the sky with the red sky, or Emperor Taizu Liu Xiu summoning the divine stone from heaven, all surpass this scene of praise from the gods.

Cao Cao's plug-in can also distribute national destiny to generals and increase their combat effectiveness.

It’s just that the praise of the gods is a collective blessing for the country’s destiny. If used well, it can indeed change the outcome of a war.

"The Romans' national treasure... is nothing more than that."

The real dragon rushed up from behind Cao Cao, its body stretched out and floated in the clouds.

His body was covered with dark golden curse patterns, echoing the direction of the mountains and rivers of China.

This dragon soul is the gathering of China's fortune and the spiritual charm of all things.

After He took off into the air, He began to roar, and the whole of Asia Minor was filled with the deafening dragon roar.

With the birth of the dragon soul, a strange phenomenon of stars hanging in the sky appeared on the dome in broad daylight.

A large star with a thick purple halo is located in the center of the stars.

That is the Zhongtian Ziwei Star which is connected with Cao Cao’s fate.

The big star spun in the sky.

The phantom of the god praised by the gods seemed to be erased and became vague and unclear under the crush of the big star.

Below, Severus suddenly choked on a mouthful of blood.

With a look of reluctance on his face, he recited the ancient words on the stone slab again.

In a moment, the shadow of the god appeared in the sky for the second time.

But the dragon soul opened its mouth and spit out a huge tide of flames.

That was the sword light of the Chixiao Sword.

The sword light, surrounded by red flames, swept towards the shadow of the god.

A moment earlier than Chi Xiao, an invisible sharp edge flashed by.

The phantom of the god was cut down by it and suddenly collapsed.

The invisible edge comes from the Chengying Sword.

Chixiao is in the light, Chengying is in the dark.

The two national swords have been nurtured in Cao Cao's dragon soul recently. Between the dragon soul's eyebrows, the imperial seal is rising and falling.

Severus mobilized the praises of the gods to confront the Wei Dynasty, betting on the fate of the country.

By doing so, he actually accelerated his own downfall.

The Great Wei fought its way here from Shenzhou and defeated all its enemies. Its territory was vast and its national fortune was unparalleled.

Even though Rome dominated the Mediterranean, it was still not as powerful as Wei.

The two sides confronted each other with their national destiny, and the winner was immediately apparent.

The dragon soul shattered the phantom of the god, and then made a suction gesture. The luck between heaven and earth, the military strength on the battlefield, everything was swallowed up by it.

Including Rome's national destiny, the military strength and luck gathered by the Roman people, were all plundered and absorbed by Cao Cao's dragon soul.

The stone slab of praise to the gods cracked in the middle with a snap.

The corresponding destiny of Rome overflowed like a mountain and a river, and was swallowed up by the dragon soul.

This wave of Roman national destiny was as vast as a river and surpassed any previous national destiny.

[Your dragon soul absorbs the luck of the battlefield and the luck of Rome. The evolution value increases: 99.1...99.3...99.5...]

Cao Cao felt a special kind of destiny between heaven and earth blending with himself.

With the help of the eyes of the dragon soul, he seemed to have insight into the essence of heaven and earth.

The dragon soul in the air had countless spell patterns in its pupils, changing and transforming, combining with Cao Cao's innate ability to see, listen, and understand.

For the first time, Cao Cao saw the secrets in the depths of the void and the scene behind the space wall...

Like the dragon soul, he took deep breaths to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The other side.

Severus screamed, choked on blood, and fell unconscious.

On the battlefield, the praises of the gods have disappeared.

Augustus looked frightened and tried to retreat, but was pierced through the chest and abdomen by Zhang Liao's halberd.

The heavy cavalry led by Xu Chu was tearing through the Roman troops of the Second Legion and heading towards where Severus was.

After Dian Wei and Zhao Yun killed their opponents, they also began to hunt down the Roman generals.

There was also the Xianzhen Camp led by Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, and Gao Shun, all of which were launching offensives against the Romans.

Behind the Roman army, the battle cry was sounded to retreat.

The general's flag quickly moved away to the west.

The great senator, Theus, also lost his composure.

As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain collapsing. Once the decline is set, it is difficult to reverse it.

The roaring of dragons in the sky and the bravery of Cao's army on the battlefield made the Romans no longer want to fight because of their defeat in the face of national destiny.

And how could their heavy infantry possibly retreat faster than the horses of Cao Wei's cavalry!

The situation on the battlefield gradually turned into a bloody massacre.

The retreating senator Theus looked back at the battlefield with tears in his eyes.

The change in victory and defeat came too abruptly.

Theus glanced at the general's flag behind Cao's army.

Before the war, the Wei emperor deliberately lured Rome to send reinforcements and lured Severus to gather Rome's forces on the battlefield, so that he could inflict heavy damage on Rome in a head-on confrontation!

In the confrontation between Rome and Wei, Rome suffered a great defeat in the first battle. The greater the losses, the more advantageous it was for Cao's army in subsequent expeditions.

In this battle, several main Roman legions will face the result of a complete defeat.

After Lucius and Cicero were killed, the commanders of the Second Legion, Cestius and Augustus, also died.

Of the eleven great legions of Rome, only one divine legion under the Senate remained fully staffed.

……

That night.

Severus, who had retreated to the city of Veite, woke up from a coma in his bedroom and asked about the battle situation:

"How's the war going?"

"The four legions of our army have all been defeated because of your reckless behavior in disturbing the gods' praises! The gods will die in battle, and not a single one will return!" Theus's face was filled with grief and anger, and he wished he could kill Severus.

Upon hearing this, Severus vomited blood and fainted again.

At midnight.

Fierce shouts and screams were heard again outside the city!
The Wei army attacked overnight, and the generals came out together and broke through the gate of the city of Weite.

That night, Severus, the Senator, Theus and others continued to retreat westward.

They fled all the way back to the heart of Rome.

Theus took over the military power and ordered the Romans to deploy defenses in various parts of the country in preparation for the attack by the Wei army.

Starting the next day, Cao's army joined forces with the Parthians and advanced westward. After a few months, they recaptured the Asia Minor region.

Early summer, June.

Cao's army began to attack Roman territory.

Parthia and Rome had been at war for many years and at one point had occupied the northeastern corner of the Mediterranean.

They control many large ports and have numerous ships.

When Cao's army began to attack, the Parthians also followed suit and recaptured the ports near the Mediterranean.

You have to know that Rome's terrain is centered around the Mediterranean Sea.

All of its land is around the Mediterranean Sea.

You can reach any part of Rome through the Mediterranean Sea.

Cao's army then entered the Mediterranean, with Gan Ning leading the Jinfan Army, which sailed on board various Wei troops and marched into Rome.

Throughout the summer and autumn, the war covered the Mediterranean area.

What’s interesting is that Egypt, which had been ruled by Rome before, also jumped out to rebel against Rome, re-seized the ports north of their border, and declared war on Rome.

The Germanic tribes to the north of the Roman Empire also declared war on Rome.

For more than half a year, there was war everywhere in Rome.

In the winter of that year, the Jinfan Army of the Wei Dynasty and the elite troops of the Cao Wei Dynasty landed on the Mediterranean peninsula and attacked the city of Rome on the Tiber River.

After the royal capital and the Senate were successively captured, Severus and Theus were beheaded by the Wei army along with the great senators.

At this time in Rome, armies were raging everywhere and the country was caught up in a new round of struggle for the throne.

After the Roman campaign, the Parthian leader Vologases was eager to make peace with Wei.

However, in the spring of the following year, Vologases was also ordered to be beheaded by Cao Cao.

After his death, the forces in his country that opposed his tyranny also became involved in a struggle for the Parthian throne.

In the western land, wars broke out and separatist forces in different places fought for power.

Cao Cao looked back at the area east of Rome and had the idea of ​​starting his journey home.

But before returning, he still has one crucial thing to do!

That was the most fundamental reason that motivated him to come on the expedition!
Cao Cao called up the dragon soul's evolution value and took a look. It was only a little bit away from perfection.
