"Antony? Governor of Eastern Rome?" Zhang Beichen narrowed his eyes slightly, "He will be worse than Caesar!"
Rome was already weakened due to civil strife. Now that it is divided into two parts, east and west, Zhang Beichen will not be afraid even if there is a war.
The people he left behind have been helping Cleopatra train the army for more than five years. Now they have achieved considerable results. The strength of the Ptolemaic dynasty's army has been greatly enhanced, plus the 40,000 soldiers he brought. All the elite soldiers!
Due to the increase in the number of ships, Zhang Beichen's fleet has now reached 40,000!
With so many troops, they can definitely defeat Anthony!
…
East Rome, Doge's Palace.
Antony's emissary to the Ptolemaic dynasty returned with a reply from Pharaoh Cleopatra.
"The female pharaoh says that she rejects your proposal and refuses to provide you with troops and supplies," the messenger said.
"Where does this woman get the courage?" Anthony thought that Cleopatra would accept it happily, but he didn't expect that he, the governor of the western province of the Roman Empire, would be rejected!
Although the Ptolemaic dynasty was developing and growing, in the eyes of the Romans, the Ptolemaic dynasty was still the weak country it was before and could be destroyed at any time!
"Since she is so disobedient, I can only let her know the consequences of disobedience!" Anthony ordered, "Assemble ten legions and go to Ptolemy!"
"yes!"
[Antony mobilized ten legions, a total of 120,000 troops, to attack the Ptolemaic Dynasty. 】
…
When he heard the news that Antony was sending troops, Zhang Beichen didn't feel any pressure at all. Instead, he was still on his honeymoon with Cleopatra.
An army of 120,000 people sounds scary! Anthony has less than 200,000 troops in total, so being able to send out so many people is already a huge honor!
[The army of Antony XII approached the border of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, met 40,000 Qi troops and 60,000 Ptolemaic troops, and started a great battle. 】
The Qi army was not afraid of enemies that were several times larger, not to mention that the difference in numbers was not much.
"Kill!" Anthony personally led the soldiers to charge, and they formed the famous Macedonian phalanx. This phalanx swept across the Western countries, making people fearful!
The infantry and cavalry cooperated with each other, holding Macedonian spears, and rushed towards the Qi army!
The previously invincible military formation encountered obstacles at this time. Anthony discovered that the Qi army's formation could not break through at all and was very changeable.
There were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, until Antony found that all his legions were scattered by the enemy.
"Why, why are these Eastern soldiers stronger than the Roman elite?" Anthony couldn't understand.
…
[Your soldiers captured Antony and brought him back to the Ptolemaic dynasty. 】
Antony was tied up and kneeling in the palace.
He looked up unwillingly and saw a beautiful woman wearing a shining crown and holding a scepter sitting on the throne!
Antony had seen her, it was Cleopatra, the Ptolemaic pharaoh.
He was once one of Caesar's generals and was ordered by Caesar to guard Cleopatra.
Seeing Cleopatra who was only seventeen years old at that time, Antony made up his mind to get this woman!
Later, Caesar was furious because of Cleopatra's escape and demoted her. Antony thought his life was over, but Caesar suddenly died suddenly. He teamed up with Octavian to put down the turmoil in Rome and became the governor of the Eastern Province. His life reached its peak!
Anthony's ambition began to expand, and he tried to realize his previous dream, but who knew he failed so miserably!
He saw a man sitting on a throne next to Cleopatra. Oriental face, handsome features and calm appearance.
"It's him!" Anthony was shocked. He recognized it. It was this man who killed Caesar!
"Anthony." Zhang Beichen looked at him and said, "You are committing a capital crime by attacking Ptolemy!"
As he spoke, his momentum exploded, making Anthony breathless.
"What do you want?" Anthony gritted his teeth.
Zhang Beichen said: "Octavian has sent a letter saying that he is willing to trade territory for your head."
When Anthony heard this, he immediately said: "I am also willing to compensate you for your losses!"
He already understood that the other party did not want to kill him, but wanted to get benefits from him. This was an opportunity to save his life, and Anthony naturally couldn't miss it.
Zhang Beichen also thinks this way. He needs a divided Rome, not a unified Rome!
If Antony is killed, Octavian will soon reunite Rome and become Roman Emperor!
With Antony around, both sides could check and balance each other, and the Ptolemaic dynasty could develop normally.
[You used Anthony's life as a threat to ask for a lot of benefits from him, and Anthony had no choice but to agree. 】
To die immediately, or to cut off his body and continue to be the governor of Rome, Antony naturally chose to live in wealth.
[Rome realized the strength of the Ptolemaic dynasty and did not dare to invade easily again. 】
[You return to Daqi with a large amount of treasures and merchandise. 】
…
Zhang Beichen made a lot of money by relying on maritime trade, and the entire Daqi Province reached unprecedented prosperity.
[You practiced hard in seclusion in Daqi for a year. After one year, your cultivation reached half an imperial level. 】
[Two years later, you led the fleet to sail again. This time the fleet went further and visited more countries. 】
[When you came back, the leaders of nearly a hundred countries and tribes sent envoys to pay homage to the Emperor of Da Qi. 】
When Zhang Beichen came back with these envoys, he caught up with the countries in the Western Regions who sent envoys to pay tribute to the Emperor of Da Qi.
So Jiang Chan held a grand ceremony in the imperial capital to entertain the envoys from all countries.
In the imperial city, Jiang Chan was wearing a ceremonial royal robe and a festive look, accepting the worship of the envoys.
"The envoy of the Kushan Empire pays tribute to the Emperor of Da Qi. Long live your Majesty!"
"The envoys of the Anxi Empire pay tribute to the Emperor of Da Qi. Long live your majesty!"
"The envoy of the Ptolemaic Dynasty pays tribute to the Emperor of Daqi, and the Pharaoh sends you a scepter as a congratulatory gift!"
…
The simulator reminded Zhang Beichen: [You have unlocked a new skin achievement. 】
[Eastern Emperor: Jiang Chan. 】This is actually an orange Samsung skin.
On the skin, there is a picture of Jiang Chan accepting worship from envoys from many countries on land and sea!
…
[Since then, you have made several voyages to the West, bringing more profits to Daqi. 】
"It's so stable in this game, it's time to practice." Zhang Beichen thought to himself.
Most of the problems have been solved, and the next step is how to successfully reach the first hundred years of simulation!
Every previous simulation ended in the first hundred years, but this time, because Taoist Lieyang, Taoist Lengyue, and Taoist Tianxing were physically liberated in reality, they must not come out to cause trouble again.
[You start to practice in seclusion, Jiang Chan, Ying Yin and Zhao Yun also start to take care of the practice, leaving state affairs to the ministers and their children. 】
There was no major disturbance in state affairs this time.
[More than ten years later. 】
A beam of purple energy shot straight into the sky, and auspiciousness descended from the sky.
Zhang Beichen woke up from seclusion and finally broke through to the imperial realm.
[Three years later, Ying Yin broke through to the imperial realm. 】
[Another year, Zhao Yun also successfully broke through to the imperial realm. 】
[In another three years, Jiang Chan relied on the help of heaven's destiny and also broke through to the imperial realm! 】
These queens are inherently talented people. With many simulation experiences, they can all break through to the imperial level.
At this time, there are only ten years left before the first hundred years of simulation.
[After reaching the Imperial Realm, it will be difficult to break through your cultivation level, so you decide to go to sea to find your opponent. 】
[You bring Ying Yinren, Zhao Yun and Jiang Chan with you. 】
[You take a treasure ship and bring a fleet of tens of thousands of people to Japan. 】
The fleet came to the offshore waters of Japan. Just like before, demons were rampant and making waves here.
With four emperor-level masters and a large number of treasure ships, these demons were quickly killed, and they were about to approach Dongying Island.
At this time, a monster wind suddenly blew on the sea, the waves were rough, and a giant beast appeared from the bottom of the sea.
"Who dares to invade my territory?" A big snake with eight heads appeared in front of the fleet, and the Yamata no Orochi appeared again!
"Kill it!" Zhang Beichen went straight to kill it without saying a word.
"Seeking death!" Yamata no Orochi was furious. He had not yet shown his majesty to these mortals. Who knew that they were not afraid of him at all and dared to take the initiative to attack.
Yamata no Orochi can spit lava, ice bombs, and venom, and control wind, rain, thunder and lightning.
[The four of you fought with Yamata no Orochi for ten days and ten nights. Yamata no Orochi realized that his life was in danger and decided to escape. 】
"It's running away, kill it!" Zhang Beichen shouted.
"It's just you?" Yamato no Orochi controlled the sea, and suddenly huge waves a hundred feet high were set off on the sea surface, trying to submerge all the treasure ships!
"I will calm the storm!" Jiang Chan offered a treasure ship. This treasure ship carried an extremely strong power of national destiny. When it arrived, everything was calm!
This is Da Qi’s national artifact, Da Qi’s treasure ship!
Because Da Qi's national power is extremely prosperous, the power of Da Qi's treasure ship is very terrifying, and it can instantly defeat the magical power of Yamata no Orochi.
"Kill!" The four men surrounded and killed him again, and with the help of Daqi Treasure Ship, they chopped off the heads of Yamato no Orochi one by one.
Finally, Zhang Beichen used his Demon Sword and chopped off the last head of Yamata no Orochi!
The demon blood dyed the sea red, and the spiritual power in Yamato no Orochi formed a storm, spewing out and returning to the world.
[After you kill the Yamata no Orochi, collect its flesh, blood, essence and blood as materials for practice. 】
[The fleet landed on Dongying Island. At this time, there were only some indigenous people on the island. They survived by feeding demons or signing contracts with evil spirits. 】
】
"These things are born to be in league with demons. Their wild ambitions will surely cause disaster in the future!" Zhang Beichen said.
"Then kill them all!" Jiang Chan ordered that all the demons on the island and the indigenous people who were associated with the demons be taken away, and troops were sent to occupy this place.
[Da Qi soldiers traveled to every corner of Dongying Island, cleaned up the demons and ghosts on the island, and occupied it. 】
[After returning to Daqi, you used the essence, blood and materials of Yamato no Orochi to refine the imperial realm cultivation elixir. 】
[You will practice in seclusion again. 】
【Ten years later. 】
"One hundred years!" Zhang Beichen woke up from seclusion. At this time, his cultivation level had reached the late stage of the Imperial Realm!
Jiang Chan and others are also in the middle to late stage of the Imperial Realm.
At this time, although Daqi was experiencing some internal problems, it still maintained prosperity thanks to prosperous commerce.
The population of Daqi has even reached more than 200 million! If this continues, the population may double again!
…
Somewhere in Daqi.
This is a large city with a population of over one million.
On weekdays, business travelers come and go here, which is very lively.
But today, something strange happened in the city. All the residents in the city, whether they were traders, foot soldiers or civilian soldiers, all walked towards the city in a daze as if they were possessed by evil spirits.
One by one, they jumped down and fell to death. Even if they didn't fall to death, they strangled their own necks and committed suicide!
Their corpses were piled together like a human altar!
The governor in the city was full of fear at this time. Just last night, he also saw the illusion. Everything in the illusion was tempting him to sacrifice himself and ascend to immortality.
At the critical moment, because his official seal carried the national destiny of Da Qi, it woke him up and he escaped!
But the soldiers and people in the city were all deceived by the illusion and sacrificed themselves. This scene was extremely terrifying!
"A great demon has been born!" The county governor wrote a letter with his own blood and wanted to sacrifice it.
At this moment, the illusion struck again, and he seemed to see the fairy world, where there were fairy birds flying, fairies singing, and immortals beckoning him over.
The official seal flew out, seeming to wake him up, but was shattered by a bloody force!
The county guard went completely crazy and shouted: "I am going to become an immortal! Hahaha, I am becoming an immortal!"
As he spoke, he pulled out his sword and cut off his flesh piece by piece until the blood dried up and he died!
…
In the imperial capital, Jiang Chan and others received the news.
"Strange human flesh altars have appeared in many cities, and the people are sacrificing themselves like crazy?" When several people saw the information, they immediately thought: "It's Huang Tian! He finally appeared!"
This time, without Yi Jiuyang and others to help harvest lives, Huang Tian had no choice but to go out in person!
"In the first hundred years, will Huang Tian end up personally?" Zhang Beichen thought in his mind.
"How dare you feed on my people, I will destroy him!" Jiang Chan said firmly.
[You lead the powerful men of Qi who are above the holy realm to the place where the disaster occurs. 】
In a city, the altar of human flesh has been formed, and the blood and energy are gathered together.
"We're here!" Zhang Beichen and others arrived, just in time to see a huge human face appear in the sky.
He opened his mouth toward the altar, and the rich blood and vitality was sucked into his mouth, and his outline became clearer!
"Huang Tian!" Jiang Chan shouted, "You monster, how dare you harm the common people again?"
Her voice turned into an edict and hit Huang Tian.
Huang Tian just blew lightly to neutralize Jiang Chan's attack. He laughed loudly and said, "Has the emperor changed in the world? Empress of Daqi, I am Huang Tian and you are the emperor. You should respectfully call me The father is right, the child has disobeyed his father, why don't you kneel down and confess your guilt?"
"Kneel you!" Jiang Chan scolded directly, "I already know your details, you are the founding emperor of Dayi!"
