Having said that, for those young people who are already very strong and have established their merits on the battlefield, what are the seniors? Aren't seniors used to surpass them?
Therefore, seeing Ma Chao so manic, Perennis couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He likes this kind of lively young people the most, especially the prickly ones, and the type who doesn't care about them.
"Seeing that you are so confident, the commander should be good. That's right. You are the commander of the Seventh Eagle Flag Legion, or you are the legion that you reshaped and started the glory of the Eagle Flag. Well, not bad, not bad. Let's compare it when the time comes. ." Perennis said with a smile.
"Just wait, I will definitely press you down and rub you!" Ma Chao roared at Perennis. He couldn't defeat him at all. He could only gain some confidence in commanding troops in combat. After all, he was completely free now. Ma Chao, who is not afraid of life and death, is still very good at leading troops in battle.
"Oh." Perennis said in a long voice, "Okay, now that I'm out of anger and seeing people, I'm quite happy to see you squatting in the pit. Okay, I'll go see His Majesty. You Continue to be your welcome guest. Of course, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can come to me at any time. You can fight, war games, and all kinds of things. I specialize in educating young people."
"Just wait, I'll fight back sooner or later!" Ma Chao roared at Perennis who stood up.
"I also hope, well, the sooner the better." Perennis turned around and left without caring. Ma Chao, who was nesting in the crater, was very angry. However, Ma Chao had no idea that he would happily take the war chess to compete with Perennis tomorrow. What terrible things will happen to Rennis as he seeks revenge.
When Perennis came to the main tent, Severus looked at Perennis with a strange expression, but remained silent, thinking that Perennis would give him an explanation.
"Looking at your posture, you have been exposed to Mamikonyan before." Pompianus saw Perennis looking embarrassed and silent, and wanted to close his eyes to rest, and said with a little curiosity.
"Yeah." Perennis said with a twitching face, and after a while he responded. Severus also looked at Perennis with interest. Severu didn't think much about Mamikonyan. He was just regarded as the royal husband of the Armenian princess who was pro-Roman.
"Let's talk about it." Severus said with a smile. He was very interested in getting Perennis to put down his body and block the opponent at the door, and even had a fight regardless of his identity. There must be some in it. matter.
"Didn't I say I was injured last time? It's his." Perennis's face twitched twice and he said slightly unhappily. Anyway, since the parties involved are here now, even if he doesn't say it, it won't take long for it to spread.
"Hahaha, such a big man like you actually let such a young man get beaten up. By the way, you are still his boss, eh, no, he hadn't joined us at that time. So you were so careless that time?" Weiru laughed after hearing this. Because Perennis had a status as a commander, he had never seen this guy in a panic, but it turned out that he was really embarrassed that time.
"Thinking about it now, at that position and the situation at the time, he was probably looking for Princess Aedela." Perennis said angrily, "He suffered a big loss that time. He is still very capable of fighting. He is young. It’s really hard to deal with people when they get over their heads.”
"Oh, yes, I remember Edela said that Mamikonyan had a fight with the demigod before he met her, and he was right on top of her head." Pompianus thought for a while and said , Edela is very smart. Although she was a bit smart when following Ma Chao, she is still very cautious at other times, especially after contacting Roma. Everything Edela said is true.
Telling lies is easy to be exposed, and if exposed, it is easy to cause trouble. It is better to simplify the details of the story from the beginning, tell the truth, but conceal some of the information.
It was precisely because of this caution that Pompianus did not find anything false in the initial trial.
When Ma Chao started to build his own great cause later, Pompianus already regarded him as one of his own, and naturally he would not use that kind of disrespectful method, so that Rome naturally completed the whole situation.
That is to say, when Rome re-conquered Armenia, Mamikonyan went there to look for his fiancée, but failed to find her. Later, due to grief and anger, he broke through the upper limit of inner energy separation, became a demigod, and became a top master.
Similarly, when a young man loses his lover, his brain twitches, and he wants to find someone to fight and vent his inner grief and anger. Well, it is completely connected to Perennis' trouble and what happened next.
"Princess Edela, have you asked each other if you are still the queen? I have a distant relative here to temporarily take the throne." Perennis sighed and said, if you are ridiculed, then be ridiculed, then This time it was really embarrassing.
"She doesn't want to be the queen. I've asked, and she really doesn't want to be." Pompianus explained after hearing this, "Otherwise, His Majesty will definitely send her and Mamikonyan to your defense area, and we won't be here now. Still here.”
"That's it, then there's nothing we can do." Perennis nodded after hearing this. If it were before, he would have just thrown the princess onto the throne as a puppet. Now that her husband is so powerful, Ma Chao's feelings must be considered.
"Forget it if you don't like being a buffer zone. Armenia will never have the chance to be a buffer zone in the future. Just find someone and throw it in as a puppet. Find a governor from the country to rule. Keep Adela's identity in the Armenian royal family and give it to her and Mamiko. The descendants of Niyan inherited the power of the throne and gave Aedela the status of a Roman noble." Severus didn't care about these at all and insisted on imperial hegemony.
"That's okay, I'll just go and prepare." Pompianus nodded and said, "That Perennis, you have received all the news that you should receive, tell me what you think."
"Alliance." Perennis was very decisive in this regard.
"Your Majesty has the same idea, and so do we. What's the bottom line?" Pompianus looked at Perennis and asked.
"There are no absolute interests between us and the Han Dynasty that we must compete with for trade, silk and porcelain management rights, and land division." Perennis said concisely and concisely.
"This is almost the same as what I thought." Pompianus nodded, "There is actually no conflict of interest between us and the Han Dynasty. To be precise, we should be regarded as natural allies. Of course, we have no conflict with the Kushans. There are entangled interests, so we can be considered natural allies."
"In the Media area, both parties will jointly invest. We will provide manpower and they will provide materials to build a condominium trading area. This is considered the best result." Pompianus looked at Perennis and said, "It is difficult to defeat the other party. We, we can't beat them either, so that's good."
"The biggest question now is whether the Han Dynasty will accept an alliance." Perennis said flatly. They, Rome, really wanted to form an alliance, but this unilateral idea was not reliable.
"Yes, it is more in the interests of the Han Dynasty to form an alliance with us. What's more, there is not only one way to abide by the alliance for the empire." Pompianus said with a smile.
Rome has also made treaties with other countries, and then killed the country that fulfilled the treaty, and forcibly abolished the treaty. This method is indeed difficult to solve for another empire, but now, It is really impossible for Anxi to withstand the Han Dynasty and Rome.
"That's it." Perennis nodded after hearing this. There are only interests between countries. Covenants only exist because they are in line with interests. Covenants that are not in line with the combination of interests will probably only have the result of appearing to be in harmony with each other.
"In fact, we don't need to do too much here. We just need to wait. We have released the goodwill. The next step is to see the reaction of the Han Dynasty and gather everyone together. In fact, it is more because we need to rest. Rest." Severus said flatly, and Perennis nodded upon hearing this. The hottest and driest summer here is about to begin.
"I hope there will be a good result by then. If we form an alliance, Rome will be free to overthrow Rome easily even if it does not rely on external force." Pompianus said with wishes.
The meeting of nobles in the military camp started. Ma Chao, bruised and swollen, changed positions with the commander of the Ninth Legion. He sat diagonally opposite Perennis. He did not speak during the whole process, neither listening to Pompianus nor Severus. In summary, he just kept baring his teeth at Perennis.
So much so that everyone knew what happened, and even Perennis couldn’t bear it later. This is a meeting of nobles, so it’s fine if you don’t listen. Anyway, there are people who don’t listen every time, but you treated me the whole time. Baring teeth is too much.
By the end of the meeting, except for a few people in the upper echelons of Rome who were reluctant to form an alliance with the Han Dynasty, they also understood that interests were driving the reality and abstained from voting. Everyone else voted in favor, and then all the nobles did not leave, either turning their heads and watching. Ma Chao, who was baring his teeth, looked at Perennis with a half-smile.
They were all waiting for the two of them to fight again. Even though Ma Chao was in a mess, with a bruised nose and face, he was still a demigod, a young demigod with a tough head. More importantly, the other party had a higher status. Magistrate, they are still very interested in this kind of collision between big people, regardless of their style. It is much more interesting than any gladiatorial arena.
"Mamikonyan, okay, you can perform now." Severus coughed twice, indicating that the meeting was dismissed. He managed his generals very loosely during non-war periods. As a military emperor, he knew the generals very well. what do we need.
"Why do you still want to take action?" Perennis smiled kindly.
"No, I bared my teeth the whole time and didn't use my hands." Ma Chao said the same words that Edela taught him kindly, and everyone burst into laughter. Ma Chao was young and not afraid of embarrassment, while Perennis could only laugh awkwardly alone.
