"So it's like fighting in the ring when the 13 Taibao are sorted. This is unfair to most monks except Sword Cultivator and Lei Xiu, because their strengths are difficult to show in the ring." Wen Yuan did not think that Wudang Mountain's There is a problem with the road, but there are serious people practicing Taoism over there. But asking them to "maintain" the state they were in as a monk and fight with fully armed combat practitioners was obviously too much for them.
"But when it comes to fighting in the ring." He paused for a moment: "You are the Ouchi swordsman now, right? I will challenge you. Now there is finally someone for the Ouchi swordsman, and I will not let this opportunity go."
"Jie Jie Jie~" Shangluo sneered, "After this afternoon's match, do you think you can still beat me?"
"You can do whatever it takes in the ring, and I will be serious when the time comes. Everyone will rely on their abilities. I may not be able to beat you - Lei Xiu doesn't have to fight with you in a sword fight. I have 99 ways to force you to surrender."
"Huh? What about, for example?"
"For example, if I throw a bomb in the middle of the ring, will you run or not? I will be able to defuse the bomb in 0.8 seconds after you run off the ring, so I can fight with you until the last second. Are you coming? "
"Hey, hey! Can you compete in martial arts like this?"
"You should understand that this is a ring, not a competition. Whoever stands on the ring will win, and everyone will depend on their abilities. Don't think it's unnecessary, I care about rankings! Everyone who is ranked in front of me will go one by one. Give it a challenge.”
"Tsk, tsk." Shangluo shook his head, "I just don't know if you saw my ability in the broken branches, do you still dare to challenge me?"
"Very good, very energetic. So, let's come here today. Well, after you came here, I feel that this place has become a lot more lively."
"Are there fewer people here than before?"
"Because people in the aviation class have transferred to aviation schools to complete their studies since last year, there seems to be signs of forming an independent air force. Because the current aviation force is much better than before, they can already complete combat missions independently. For example, using ace pilots to suppress After the airspace is cleared, heavy bombers can be dispatched to plow the courtyard and clear holes. If the Air Force is successfully established, it will be the fourth major service besides the Army, Navy, and Forbidden Forces. In the future, the Air Force may also assume the task of aerospace. This seems to be the case. The reason for establishing an independent army.”
"So have you considered entering the Air Force?"
"The Forbidden Army is an exception. The Forbidden Army has both land and sea forces. Even if there is an independent air force in the future, the Forbidden Army will still retain the order of the air force. If nothing else happens, I should go to the Forbidden Army Air Force to get my own aircraft. . Unlike you sword cultivators, Lei Xiu is more suitable for flying airplanes after all. Oh, the time is up, put the sign back, I will go find the teacher to hand it over and then go back."
At noon the next day, the last practice before branch breaking.
"I'm sorry, everyone." Titus yawned, "I was really busy. I came back very late yesterday, and I'm not in a good state today. I think your spirits are quite good?"
Among the four people sitting below, two were in high spirits, with eyes as wide as bells. Next to their horses, there was a handbag containing two identical small boxes. One has the number 501 and the other has the number 502. Their morale is already full.
"Very good, very energetic." Titus rubbed his eyes again, "I hope this branch-breaking ceremony can be completed as soon as possible, and then I have to... ah~~~ I also have to take a good vacation."
"Did something happen over there?" Shangluo asked. Although the distance is far away, if there is turmoil in the magic world of Rome, it may indeed affect the branch-breaking ceremony.
"There are some things that are neither big nor small. You may be guessing that it is related to Caesar, but it is not. Most of us have a neutral or even positive attitude toward Caesar's return. Because it represents resurrection, hope, and every Roman Everyone has the possibility of returning from history. The more complete Caesar's return is, the greater the hope it brings to us. What makes us vigilant is that in the south, you all have studied history and you should know that before Rome occupied Egypt, Egypt had its own Native civilization.”
This is a piece of history that everyone knows. After the Egyptians were defeated by Alexander, they entered the Hellenistic Ptolemaic dynasty.
The Ptolemaic dynasty can generally be said to be one of the successors of ancient Egypt, because the main ethnic groups in the history of ancient Egypt did not change once or twice. Moreover, the Ptolemaic dynasty also showed due respect for ancient Egyptian culture. The last female pharaoh Cleopatra even learned the Egyptian language-although she only learned the language, if the Ptolemaic dynasty can survive , the main body of ancient Egyptian civilization should also be able to gradually recover under Cleopatra's rule.
But all this was interrupted by the Romans. The Romans did not feel that they had conquered an Egyptian state; they viewed Ptolemaic Egypt almost exclusively as a Greek dynasty. Although the Greeks still received good treatment, the Egyptians had been excluded from the main ethnic group. They still live in Egypt, and the Romans have not treated them harshly. In fact, they have obtained Roman citizenship through all the previous releases of citizenship.
These people are now usually called "Copts", which is a more respectful title than "Egyptians" and was the self-proclaimed name of the ancient Egyptians. They still use ancient Egyptian script to write Coptic, and some even write in hieroglyphics. However, they are only one of the hundreds of millions of Romans after all, and they cannot be born to stand in the center of the stage like the Latin Romans and Greco-Romans.
"The problem this time is in the south. We once doubted whether the Copts had a plan to revive ancient Egypt - you have to participate in the Golden Bough Ceremony, so you all know that the power of history can sometimes be incredibly powerful. From physics It is certainly impossible to revive ancient Egypt, but if we can awaken the power of the Pharaoh, just like we got the help of Helios, then it may not be impossible. It is said that Pharaoh Ramses II once rode a chariot in Ka On the Dieshi battlefield, some people saw the souls of the past fighting each other in the dark night, and some even said they saw the golden army of ancient Egypt emerging from the ground and disappearing at dawn. Hmm."
"Did you see it?" Shangluo asked.
"No. I took a look through the nearest Mithraic sacrificial site. Wherever the Roman legions once fought, there will be a Mithraic sacrificial site that can teleport, and there are also nearby ones. However, I waited for a long time, and even mirages and the like I haven't even waited yet. Ah, I'm six times sleepier now, I'm so tired. Shangluo, you should know what I mean. So today I'll let another instructor teach you, you can call him dolphin."
"Dolphin" has been standing nearby.
"Everyone, my code name is Dolphin, phlogiston stealth technical specialist. The training to be completed today is very important for you, because there is no tower at Lake Nemi, and you have to sneak to get there. So you can't just take a sip this time. It's done, you have to really drown in it. It may be a little painful, but it's safe. Once you're done, you can go to the Golden Bough Ceremony."
It still seems a bit late, although it is much more updated than yesterday. But it seems that I am not suitable for adding too many updates at once, so I will spread it out and add more updates for a few days. So there will be more updates in the next few days.
