Augustus Under the Horseshoe

Chapter 554 : Traitor’s Conspiracy

Julian calendar 420 years, Julius month, the thirty-first day. (July 31, 420 AD)

After the tribal army captured and ransacked Serdika (Sofia), they once again destroyed Philippolis, leaving Lebrgaz, like a destruction machine that cannot be stopped once it is turned on, burning and looting all the way, and finally in the night. When it comes, the soldiers will come to Constantinople.

The setting sun gradually fell into the embrace of the Greek mountains, the gorgeous orange sunset that looked like a blaze, and the beautiful dome rendered scarlet by the rays of the sun, when the horses and horses descend, they are gradually submerged by the boundless darkness.

However, this magnificent city located in the center of the Eastern Empire, the throat fortress connecting Greece and Asia Minor, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, and the new residence of the gods, was not shrouded in darkness.

Masses of arcane flames that will never extinguish, burn in every house, every street, and even every person’s side in Constantinople, shining the entire prosperous city like daylight.

On one side embroidered with golden crosses and four beta red flags, hunting and hunting in the air, teams of heavily armed Legionnaires patrolled the borders of the city back and forth, accompanied by huge ships of hundreds of feet long. With the cheerful ballads of sailors, guided by the arcane fire, sail into the largest and most prosperous seaport in the Empire.

From a distance, the dense clusters of sparks are even more numerous and brighter than the stars in the night.

The new heart of the empire is on the north, east, and south coasts. Only the west borders Thrace. Therefore, the first generation of Augustus drew a full 10,000 dwarf craftsmen from Iberia and built the largest fortifications of the empire on the east side of the city to defend the glory of the gods.

Under the ingenious design of dwarf craftsmen and wizards, and hundreds of thousands of slave laborers working day and night, a five-meter-thick double wall made of marble, limestone, and even steel, cast Constantine Fort and Thrace were completely isolated. This 5,630-meter-long immortal city wall has a total of 192 towering mage towers built inside and out. There are various magic traps and mechanisms hidden in every darkest detail. in.

The soldiers of the First Central Field Army never disarmed at night, and their soldiers did not leave their hands, defending the glory of the empire.

At this moment, the tribe’s army blocked the city. Although the Eastern Gothic navy could not match the empire, it still continued to harass the fleet entering the Golden Horn by virtue of the concealment and mobility of the boat.

With the magical attainments and technological level of this era, it is almost impossible to break the defenses of New Rome. Painhurs sent a third goblin envoy to propose a peaceful vision to the regent. The tribe has no interest in ruling the mountains of Greece, and only wants money. The chief even said that we can sit down and discuss the conditions of the armistice.

However, the next day, the head of a third goblin was hung on the gate of New Rome.

If the war is defeated like this, why does the other party want to continue fighting?

“Warchief.”

Just when the warchief was puzzled, a black mare, panting, pushed open the curtain of the camp. From her chest, she took out a gold necklace with some kind of black lacquer on it. The terrifying face of fear and two dark fangs are particularly conspicuous.

“Your dagger in the dark, as you reported-some elves we have never seen secretly sneaked into the camp of the Baishuang clan. They were walking strangely, but they were still caught by our spies.”

The military policemen with black fangs faithfully reported what they had collected. The history of the clan’s horses and horses can be traced back to the early days when Tomillis built the Kingdom of horses and horses. They are a group of carefully selected war orphans. They maintain absolute loyalty to the queen. After years of hard training, they have become excellent predators (rangers). Moreover, their enemies choose nothing else. It is the humanoid monster: the centaur itself.

From the beginning of their birth, this group of people has been a sharp sword, the supreme blade used to clear the enemy within the centaur. As Painhurs unifies the tribes of the people and the horses, the black fangs also dedicated their loyalty to the pale horses, and continue to play the role of the military police, or Jinyiwei, in the society of people and horses.

While talking, the military policeman with black fangs picked up the corpse of an elf like a chick. The horse was so tall that the elves, known for their slender stature, competed with ordinary ones in height, and the difference was as big as a human being. With dwarves.

“We dispatched a whole team, and a wind howling warlock cooperated, and finally killed the elf secretly in the corner of the camp.”

The military police cautiously stuck to the ear of the warchief and whispered quietly.

“This **** guy is very capable. He killed our two partners before he died. We immediately took his corpse and found a reliable priest to talk to the deceased-Bleda, Lord of Hoarfrost, has rebelled, Elf The emperor promised him the position of the next warchief. They planned a beheading operation. Breda will cooperate with the legend of the empire to kill you on the battlefield! In return, he will immediately take the tribal soldiers after he becomes the warchief. Go back to the north of the Danube and be in harmony with the empire forever.”

“what?”

Painhurs’ eyes widened in shock. Although Bleda had betrayed him once, when the warchief heard that the men and horses were facing a new civil war, he still couldn’t believe it.

“That guy Bleda is very clever. He actually believes this kind of nonsense? Is the situation true? Is the elf lying? No, if it is the case, it does explain why the Eastern Roman Empire is neither To mobilize the troops in the East, they did not sign a contract with us, but continued to support it…”

“Yes, this information is true. Our people have seen this elf several times, but have never caught him. Today, we hired a wind howling warlock to suppress his transmission and killed him to torture him.”

The black fangs breathed slowly, and said expressionlessly.

“Please give your order. There is nothing more than a legendary psychic warrior, not just an ordinary man and horse. As long as you order, our black fangs will immediately put the traitor’s head in front of you.”

The next day, a terrible news spread in the Centaur camp: their logistical supplies arrived one day late. Just when the Centaur was puzzled and was about to check the transportation route, a few soldiers covered in blood barely fled back. In the camp, he cried and said: An elite elf cavalry broke out from the dense forest and ambushed their logistics supply line. The personnel responsible for the **** were almost wiped out, and all the supplies were robbed.

The logistics was ambushed, this kind of thing immediately caused an uproar in the entire siege army, the warchief immediately ordered that hundreds of household chiefs, thousands of household chiefs, and even ten thousand chiefs, chiefs, make such elites a team of ten people. , Went to the dense forests of the south to find this elven cavalry.

Breda suddenly discovered that he and the nine other officers of the White Frost Clan had also been assigned to the search team. He didn’t think too much, because the black lizard, the wind howl, and the chiefs of half of the clan were also on the list, and it was indeed a big event that the logistics supplies were ambushed. The psionicist shrugged, temporarily shelved the plan, and carried His own men stepped into the vast forest, looking for traces of the elves.
