"Master Hou."
Huo Qubing came out of the palace and stopped to look behind him.
Another figure also chased out, wearing a black cloak and wrapping his whole body in it, as if he was careful not to be discovered.
Bai Nanyu had long known that Huo Qubing came to Macedonia for more than one reason during his busy schedule, so she got dressed up at night and waited to go out.
When Huo Qubing set off, she chased him out from the next door, using a secret plan to cover his aura so as not to be discovered. Her charming peach blossom eyes were filled with excitement.
Huo Qubing moved his army around, including her, and prepared to launch a secret operation.
"Count me in."
Gongsun Hong, with fluttering sleeves and one hand on his back, also appeared not far away.
Seeing Bai Nanyu next to Huo Qubing, behaving quite affectionately, the old man smiled and said: "I didn't want to disturb you two, but I just couldn't help but be curious. Lord Marquis, you came so far not just to negotiate with the Macedonians. I’m the only one.”
The lines on Huo Qubing's feet spread.
The three people disappeared into thin air.
Huo Qubing followed the guidance of the Lingpo Soldier Talisman in his consciousness and headed west after leaving the city.
Based on his practice at this time, he stretched out his legs with all his strength, using a chain plan to connect the golden cicada to escape from its shell and walk. It was like jumping in the void, and it was a hundred miles in one trip.
Along the way to the west, the air gradually became more moist.
The coastline appeared ahead.
The stars and the moon are reflected on the sea, and the stars twinkle.
The ocean next to Macedonia's border is the Aegean Sea, which is dotted with islands.
The moment Huo Qubing entered the Aegean Sea, he released his strength, and the force swept across the sea, suddenly turning into a storm, riding on the waves, roaring away.
The spiritual talisman in the sea of consciousness, intertwined with mantras, becomes brighter and brighter!
time flies.
A desert island appeared on the sea ahead. The area that could be seen was not large. The whole island was barren and empty.
From a distance, it looks like a huge boulder dropped on the sea.
"It's a high mountain island in the Aegean Sea..."
Huo Qubing remembered an unsolved mystery he had read.
It is said that there is a small island in the Aegean Sea. After detection by later generations, the main part under the sea perfectly corresponds to the base of a low mountain in ancient Greece.
The two were probably one and the same a long time ago.
No one understands why the upper part of a mountain appears in the sea.
The two are hundreds of miles apart, what kind of power can do that?
"Huo Hou, your destination is this desert island?" Gongsun Hong looked surprised.
"Well, I accidentally got some clues. Come and take a look." Huo Qubing said casually.
After the three of them settled down, they looked around and saw nothing special.
Huo Qubing released the general formation.
Through his practice, one can feel a vague aura on the island.
However, after releasing the military formation and exploring the entire island, the source of the aura was not found.
On the other hand, in the sea of consciousness, the spirit talisman and the soldier talisman interacted with the world, and a certain prophetic ability was stimulated to the extreme. Countless symbols fell off the branches and leaves of the soldier talisman, integrating into the military formation like raindrops.
At the moment when the military talisman and the military formation were combined, the formation patterns covering the island suddenly changed, creating a qi connection with somewhere underground on the island.
Boom!
The island, the void, and even the nearby sea were all affected by a force.
The island shook slightly, like an earthquake.
Vortexes were created on the surrounding sea surface, and a large amount of seawater seemed to be swallowed and sunk under the sea, and then used as power to promote changes.
A force also surged on the island, and Huo Qubing's troops clung to each other, gradually becoming stronger.
The foundation of the island slowly rose, and a stone pillar with a distinctive ancient Greek style broke out of the ground.
Then came the second and third pillars, a total of twelve stone pillars connected in a semi-circular shape, somewhat like the incomplete parts of a former temple that had been destroyed.
"This stone pillar is similar to the Pompeii Pillar and the symbol of the city of Alexandria in later generations..."
In the center of the twelve stone pillars, a statue of a missing god with a withered head is enshrined.
Under the statue is an ancient mottled stone platform with a stone box placed on the top.
There is a bronze spear stuck next to the stone box.
Huo Qubing had an inexplicable feeling that the stone box and war spear were related to Alexander.
Gongsun Hong also followed and looked at the bronze spear.
The thick spear shaft is engraved with exquisite textures.
"This war spear has such a strong aura."
Huo Qubing first took the stone box in his hand.
The surface of the box is also engraved with lines, which seem to be ancient Western characters.
"There have been rumors that Alexander always carried three things with him, each of which was mysterious, and one of them was a box."
Bai Nanyu said in surprise: "After arriving in Parthia, I often hear Alexander's name. Is he the emperor of Western countries?"
"Well, the status is the same as that of our First Emperor." Huo Qubing said.
Boom!
The entire island suddenly shook violently.
But it was the old prime minister who reached out to pull out the bronze spear, but failed.
The old man pulled it out again, this time using his whole body to practice, but still failed.
"This spear seems to be connected to the entire island and cannot be pulled out at all..."
Before Gongsun Hong finished speaking, he saw Huo Qubing holding the war spear, lifting it up, and the war spear came out.
"..."
Gongsun Hong looked at Huo Qubing and then at his own hands.
He looked at the war spear and found that there were textures flowing on it, blending with Huo Qubing's military aura.
The old man forcibly redeemed himself: "It turns out that only soldiers can pull it out. The way I practice is wrong."
And just when the spear and the stone box on the altar were taken away by Huo Qubing, a vision suddenly appeared.
There are streaks of starlight hanging down from the sky like pillars of light, echoing the twelve stone pillars of the temple.
The surrounding sea is as bright as day.
The bronze spear transformed in Huo Qubing's hand, burning like a golden flame.
The front end of the spear turned golden yellow, as if blending into a sun, shining brightly.
At the same time, west of the Aegean Sea, there was an ancient temple in the Roman city.
At this moment, there are also artifacts in the temple that are glowing, as if they have a qi connection with the stone box and war spear that Huo Qubing obtained.
At the current stage of Rome, that is, during the Republic, the country is jointly run by the Senate, the Consuls, and the Tribal Council.
Its form is similar to the early separation of powers in China.
When fluctuations occurred in the temple, people in the royal city of Rome, the Senate, the consul's residence, and the palace where tribal meetings were held all felt the reaction.
They walked out of the palace and looked towards the Aegean Sea together.
"what happened?"
"What Alexander left behind... is emitting waves."
"Let people go and see what caused the wave of divine power."
On the other end, in the Macedonian capital, there were artifacts in the temples dedicated to the gods, and the fluctuations gradually became stronger.
The main hall of the Macedonian palace.
The ministers and the king, representatives of the aristocracy, and the king's relatives discussed all night long.
"...The Easterner wants us to help him resist the Romans, but he is unwilling to pay anything. Why should we cooperate with him? Wouldn't it be better to contact Seleucid and Armenia directly?"
The speaker was King Perseus IV’s uncle, Memnon Yokel, with white hair and white beard, saying:
"I don't think there is any need to cooperate with Eastern people. He has no sincerity."
"Uncle King York didn't seem to understand what the Han commander meant. He meant that Armenia is now bound by him. Without him, we will lose Armenia's support, and our ability to resist the Romans will be drastically reduced."
King Perseus said:
“The Romans are attacking with all their strength this time, and apart from the Han people, we have no one else to turn to.
Only they can help us stop Rome. "
The chief priest sat at the lower left of the king and frowned:
“He said that the Parthian capital could be captured in eight to ten days, which is not very credible.
Parthia currently still has at least 60,000 combatable elites, plus the soldiers and horses stationed in the royal capital that have never been moved, plus the auxiliary troops... It is impossible for him to conquer Parthia within ten days. "
Avti sat in the third position in the priest camp and said: "He...maybe can do it."
"This time we formed a coalition with Parthia, with 150,000 soldiers, but they didn't even have a chance to use their troops, so he split the coalition.
The troops he used to attack Armenia, including Parthian Bhutto, Lore, and Arisu, including me, have still not figured out how to do it. "
Afti said: "We didn't know until we went to Parthia this time that they fought all the way to Parthia from the Han Kingdom in the East, thousands of miles away. In the process, they defeated many countries and created a miracle of war."
"On our way back, he led 3,000 Han troops, blocked 20,000 of our elite troops, and suppressed us."
"You can ask Luo Er if this is the case?"
The noisy hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone’s attention turned to Luo Er.
Luo Er was sitting there with an expressionless face, but he didn't expect disaster to fall from the sky, and Avti used it as an example in front of her face.
The entire Macedonian aristocracy knew that he led 20,000 elite troops but failed to defeat 3,000 Han troops.
Luo Er's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye: "I didn't lose, it was just lack of preparation. I don't know if he can break Ctesiphon within ten days."
Obviously, Avti was right.
"The Eastern Commander is a man comparable to Alexander the Great."
Afti said: "If it were Alexander the Great who said that he could capture Ctesiphon within ten days, would you be willing to believe it?"
There was silence in the hall.
"Your Majesty is right. We have no other way out except cooperation with the Han people."
Prince York said angrily: "But that is not cooperation at all. He is here to convey orders, and he does not give us a chance to negotiate..."
"If it is to be given to the Easterners as a vassal state, I think it would be better to surrender to Rome."
During the debate in the palace, King Perseus suddenly felt something and looked to one side.
Outside the window, in the far distance to the west, a beam of light shot up, illuminating the long night.
Later, Afti and other priests also sensed that there were fluctuations of divine power spreading in the temple in the city.
"what happened?"
"The Sword of Alexander in the temple is resurrecting..."
The chief priest stood up, stretched out his hand, and a scene appeared in the void in front of him.
There is an artifact in the temple in the city, which is a broad sword with complex divine patterns.
The broad sword's light circulated and floated up from the temple, turning into a stream of light and flying towards the Aegean Sea.
However, the chief priest and the king respectively stretched out their hands to catch him.
Suddenly, Guangxi was taken back and fell into the king's hands without flying away.
"Where did the power come from to activate the weapons that the emperor once used!"
The chief priest thought for a while and said: "The two God-given objects that Alexander the Great carried with him disappeared through the air after he left. For two hundred years, there have been rumors that God took back those two treasures.
Another theory is that those two things returned to some unknown place.
The Romans had been looking for these two things. "
The king's eyes lit up: "Are you talking about the Spear of Divine War and the Epic Book of the Gods?
Are those two holy objects reborn? "
At this time, somewhere in the Aegean Sea, light shot into the sky, and divine power surged across the heaven and earth.
In the Roman Senate, an old man wearing a divine robe walked out of the palace.
His back was hunched, he stretched out his hand with age spots and breathed: "God said that there are no secrets in His sight."
Following the sound, God-given power flowed, and a picture appeared in front of him.
The boundless land, mountains, rivers, cities, and sea water recede in the picture.
The old man's eyes seemed to be looking across thousands of miles, somewhere in the Aegean Sea.
He saw a deserted island and a ruined temple.
There is also a war spear with a golden front end, a stone box, and a hand holding the war spear...
When he wanted to see the hand clearly, it was blocked by a force, and he could only see a hazy figure holding a war spear.
There were two other people around the figure, but they were also unclear.
The old man closed his cloudy eyes, feeling a little excited: "The ruins of the first-generation temple, the Spear of War, and the stone box... are Alexander's secret boxes, recording the epics of the gods."
"Come here, ask the temple attendants to go to the east sea and find out what happened?"
