Orders were passed down from the Roman center.
"A team of the Fourth Army set out from the Attica area and sailed in the eastern sea to pass on the order. They will soon reach the target location."
"The general in the fourth part, the fleet led by Buga Angeta Cicero?"
"yes."
"Okay, use divine power to send a message and send the order."
After a brief conversation, the order was passed to a fleet sailing in the Aegean Sea.
In fact, without any orders, the Roman fleet sailing on the sea also discovered a light rising into the sky in the distant sea, cleansed by divine power.
In front of this fleet, on a medium-sized sea ship, stood Cicero, the commander of the navy of the fourth formation of the Roman Republic.
Many Romans with pure blood during this period had dark brown hair, dark eyes, narrow nose bridges, high foreheads, and a strong sense of depth on their faces.
Cicero was a Roman nobleman who was proud of his pure blood.
Wearing armor, he stood on the bow of the ship with his hands behind his hands, looking at the divine light rising in the distance.
The Romans' shipbuilding capabilities were still at the stage of first building the outer shell and then filling the interior with rib supports.
The sails that provide power are mainly rectangular sails perpendicular to the bow.
At the same time, Han Dynasty had mastered the technology of first building the internal frame and then rebuilding the outer shell. Even if the hull was very large, he could adjust the curvature, balance and symmetry of the external hull by controlling the structure of the internal ribs to create a more powerful ship. Excellent boat.
Therefore, the Romans cannot yet build giant ships, nor can they use magical spells to bless them.
Their boat is only about thirteen feet long at its longest, with both ends bent and upturned, and relies on oars and sails protruding from the bottom to coordinate its navigation.
Cicero, who was standing on the bow of the ship, was about forty years old and slightly taller than ordinary people.
He looked into the distance for a moment and ordered: "Adjust the course, let's go to that sea area to have a look."
The entire fleet, a total of fourteen ships, quickly approached the sea area where the light was shining.

"Huo Hou, look, there are words on this stone pillar."
Gongsun Hong came under one of the twelve stone pillars and looked at it carefully.
The stone pillars have beautiful patterns and are engraved with writing.
But they were all ancient Western characters, and none of the three of them knew them.
"I have read millions of papers, and the words in the books can be understood by themselves."
Gongsun Hong found that he couldn't understand, so he started to brag.
He used Confucian magical power, which means that I read a lot and know everything, and I can understand the meaning of words I don't know.
As soon as Gongsun Hong finished speaking, the writing on the stone pillar shimmered under the influence of Confucian magical power, but it did not have the same effect as when he used this magical power in the past, and the meaning could not be deciphered.
The light flickered a few times and then disappeared.
The old man was stunned for a moment: "These Western words may not be understood by my Eastern words, or it may be that our Confucian magic is not suitable for foreigners."
Huo Qubing and Bai Nanyu burst into laughter.
However, this dilapidated temple seems to have a great origin.
The three of them spread out and looked at the twelve pillars.
Huo Qubing also saw a hole on the top of one of the pillars, a flat prism shape, which was the same shape as the front end of the war spear he had just obtained.
Can the war spear sink into the top of this pillar?
This dilapidated ancient temple obviously has secrets.
Huo Qubing decided to take it away with the pot.
He got down from the pillar, waved his hand, and sacrificed his divine palace.
The soldiers' fronts flowed, and the ripples in the void shook like water, pulling the twelve temple pillars, together with the altar, the statues, and the entire ground of the temple into the divine palace.
Boom!
There were thunder and lightning in the sky. The ancient temple was forcibly captured, which actually affected the energy of heaven and earth. There was thunder one after another and lightning pierced the sky.
There is no wind in the surrounding sea area, and the waves are surging outward.
The ruined temple rose from the ground.
The top of the entire island seemed to have been cut off and a piece of it was taken away, filling the divine palace completely.
At this moment, Huo Qubing, Gongsun Hong, and Bai Nanyu had feelings for each other.
A ship was approaching rapidly from the distant sea.
However, Cicero felt that the fleet was moving forward too slowly, so he integrated the spiritual power of spiritual practice into the sails. The main ship was the fastest and reached the surrounding waters first.
He happened to see Huo Qubing and three others on the boat collecting the things on the island.
Cicero held a war spear in his hand, stepped into the air, and ran on the sea. His whole body was blooming with the light of divine power, and he shouted from the air:
"Put your stuff down!"
Huo Qubing seemed to be oblivious. The Divine Mansion was operating and the entire ruins had been evacuated long ago.
Cicero moved closer, stepped onto the island, and looked at Huo Qubing and others.
When he saw three Easterners with black hair and eyes, he was a little surprised: "Are you outsiders?"
This time his words promoted the fluctuation of spiritual thoughts, and even those who did not understand Roman language could understand them.
But still no response.
"This is my Roman territory, and taking things here is taking them from my Roman hands."
"Put your things down, or...die!" Cicero said proudly.
Seeing that Huo Qubing and the others ignored him, they packed up the temple and prepared to leave.
Cicero suddenly threw out his spear.
The war spear thrust towards Huo Qubing's side with strong divine light. At the same time, the splitting light was like a chain, entwining towards Gongsun Hong and Bai Nanyu.
But at the same moment, Huo Qubing stopped and looked back.
Cicero didn't even see his movements clearly, but he felt a dim light flickering in front of him, a biting chill and a sense of crisis rising, and then he felt severe pain in his chest, falling from mid-air.
The Roman general of the Fourth Division had a bloody hole in his chest and his body fell on the island.
But the war spear he projected rolled back, penetrated his body, turned into a stream of light, and fell into the sea.
"This guy is stupid enough. He doesn't want to think that we can take away the temple, but he dares to take action if he is not a match." Gongsun Hong said.
"He's not stupid, it's just the arrogance of the Romans. In recent years, the Roman army has gained the confidence from being invincible in the surrounding areas, and there are many people following behind. How can they be afraid of the three of us." Huo Qubing said.
At this time, on the ship in the distance, a ray of light roared through the sky and shot towards Huo Qubing and the others.
The ship approached closely behind and saw Huo Qubing killing Cicero.
A large crossbow-like weapon placed on the bow of the ship, with lines of divine power flashing, shot out a huge spear-like arrow.
This giant arrow was called Poseidon's Wrath by the Romans.
What they didn't expect was that the giant arrow shot in front of Huo Qubing at lightning speed, and he actually raised his hand to hold it.
Then, the held giant arrow went backwards at a faster speed than when it came, violating the principles of physical properties.
Click!
Lieutenant General Cicero, who ordered the giant arrow to be fired, and several surrounding Roman soldiers were simultaneously penetrated and killed by the sharp edge of the giant arrow.
What's even more weird is that the remaining Roman soldiers on the boat raised their swords in the air and wiped their own necks, and blood suddenly appeared.
The Roman soldiers on board were horrified and died one after another.
The weapons in their hands seemed to have suddenly become spiritual, killing themselves...
The magical power of military strategy derived from the Thirty-six Strategies, which can kill people with a borrowed sword.
Not long ago, Huo Qubing was assassinated by the old woman, and then he was asked to go back to attack the Parthian ministers, and then he was able to start a new strategy of killing people with borrowed swords.
This magical power allows weapons to be borrowed to kill people as if possessed by spirits, making it impossible to guard against.
It is estimated that new changes will occur after he is promoted to the middle and top positions.
Huo Qubing tried his best to solve the robbery of the Roman fleet and left immediately.
After they left, the strange phenomena around the island disappeared, the fluctuations calmed down, and returned to normal.
The sky will be bright.
In the waters near the island, other ships under Cicero arrived one after another.
After daybreak, several teams from Rome also came to this sea area.
One of them, a middle-aged man wearing metal armor, with a rectangular face, slender eyes, and dark brown curly hair, arrived first.
There is an impressive horizontal scar on the bridge of his nose.
Then two more people appeared on the island, covering their faces with hoods.
The faces of the two people were hidden under the hoods, as if covered with a layer of fog. It was as if light was absorbed when it fell within the scope of the hoods, making it difficult to see their faces clearly.
The two are the temple attendants personally appointed by the old man from the Senate last night.
"Commander of the Fourth Army of Luolixin, you are here too."
A temple attendant said to a middle-aged man wearing armor and with a horizontal scar on his nose.
"I'm on duty along the coast, and when I see changes, I come closer to take a look."
The legion commander known as Rolithin responded.
He looked at the two temple attendants: "You guys are here too. Did the high priest ask you to come?"
"It has always been our mission to find the three lost ancient temples."
The three of them communicated briefly and looked at each other separately.
Rolishin landed on the ship where people had been murdered with knives and bodies were everywhere.
After checking the soldier's death, he frowned and looked confused, then came to the island again.
Cicero had been dead for a long time, and the holes in his chest were shocking.
The two temple attendants first looked at the traces left after the temple was taken away on the island, and then also came to the place where Cicero died.
"The opponent is so powerful."
"Did you also see it?" Luo Lixin frowned.
Cicero was his general, but he died like this unexpectedly.
"The chest was shot through, and the death should be ferocious and painful.
But his expression was calm, indicating that at the moment of being killed, Cicero may not have realized that he was going to die, and completely missed his opponent's offensive. "
"Our opponent can kill a general with divine power like Cicero without feeling. His training may not be inferior to ours."
A temple attendant added: "The other party acted decisively and killed Cicero without hesitation.
Cicero was wearing the armor of my Roman legion, and the ship was filled with my Roman soldiers. It is impossible for the other party not to know Cicero's identity.
Knowing that he was my Roman general, he still dared to kill him. This shows that the other party has a high status and does not care about killing my Roman general. "
Luo Lixin said: "So the people who attacked may be the nobles of the hostile country."
He looked east.
The only hostile force here is Macedonia on the east coast.
Luo Lixin said: "The dead people on the ship over there are even weirder. Judging from the angle of the wounds and the position of the soldiers lying on the ship's board, they seemed to have their necks cut by a sharp knife at the same time. The weirdest thing is that their own soldiers The blade fell on the fatal wound.
This seems to be some kind of ancient witchcraft, controlling weapons to kill people. "
At this time, a temple attendant approached Cicero's body, reached out and touched some blood on his chest, stood up and looked towards the sea.
"What killed Cicero was a spear-like weapon that broke through his chest and fell into the sea."
"With the blood from Cicero's wound, I can roughly feel the location of the murder weapon. I'll go get it back and have a look."
The temple attendant turned into a shadow, and divine light surged around him, parting from the sea water and walking into it.
Clang!
About a hundred breaths later, a roar seemed to come from under the sea.
The temple attendant who had entered the sea broke out of the water. One of his arms was covered in blood, and he staggered and was actually injured.
Another temple attendant and Luo Lixin said in surprise:
"what happened?"
"The spear that killed Cicero penetrated the sea and pierced the bottom of the sea with unfathomable depth." The injured temple attendant said in horror.
You must know that no matter what kind of armor it is, the chest is the first place to be protected, and the deck is the thickest.
After the war spear penetrated the armor on Cicero's chest and his body-protecting power, it fell into the sea and could still penetrate into the very depths of the sea. The power contained in it was unbelievable.
None of them can do it.
What’s even more terrifying is yet to come.
"I used the power of God to try to pull up the war spear that killed Cicero from the sea. Unexpectedly, there was still a sharp edge in the war spear. After being pulled up from the bottom of the sea, I reached out to get the war spear. The sharp edge in the spear overflowed and penetrated my divine power wall."
Luo Lixin and another temple attendant looked at his bloody arms and injuries on his chest and abdomen, and were shocked and speechless.
Can the remaining power attached to the opponent's war spear severely injure a servant of divine power? !
"Fortunately, the other party has left. If we encounter him, we will also be killed."
The injured temple attendant was still frightened:
"The murderer may be a favored person of the Lord God, or... he is at the level of a worldly god. He is not something we can fight against. Please report it to the Senate and the Consul."
"No matter who dares to kill us Romans here, as long as they are found out, they will have to pay the price they deserve." Luo Lixin said solemnly.
Ps: Please vote, thank you
