The earth shook violently, whether it was an illusion or real, and the cloudy sky seemed to move along with the shaking of the ground.

Ordinary people simply cannot stand in such an environment. This is exactly what happened to the defenders on the Lutetia city wall. They either fell down on the not-so-wide platform of the city wall, or simply fell directly from a height of more than ten meters. go.

Animusfia alone almost paralyzed the entire city's defenders.

These soldiers, who were fully armed and waiting for work, were left without the ability to fight.

Even if the earthquake stopped later, it would be difficult for these ordinary soldiers to regain a serious combat effectiveness.

The Île Saint-Louis and the Île de la Cité were lifted higher from the river channel by the earthquake, silting up the former channel of the Seine, and the river water flowing down from the upper reaches began to overflow towards the original river banks on both sides.

Soon there will probably be a lake here.

The original Île de la Cité and Île Saint-Louis will become new islands in this lake—an entire island.

The two islands were squeezed together by the power of nature.

The city of Lutesia should have been razed to the ground by an earthquake of this magnitude. No human building could withstand such a violent impact.

But the chalk city still stood there. Although the defenders had long been defeated and defeated, there was not even a crack in the city wall of Lutesia.

The dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and the bulging and cracked ground no longer trembled.

The model of the solar system centered on Animusfia also disappeared at some point.

"Prepare to attack the city——————"

Immediately afterwards, Animusfia ordered his soldiers to attack Lutecia.

With his magic, the moat of Lutecia can be ignored, and the survival of the city wall is also within Animusfia's expectation.

After all, it was the work of the C/aeser, Octavian Augustus. It would be strange if the city simply collapsed.

Animusfia watched the soldiers running towards Lutecia, while taking a few weak steps back.

Nero supported Animusfia's leaning body.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. There is nothing wrong with me, don't worry."

Animusfia took a few deep breaths and then gently brushed Nero's hands off her body.

Spartacus had already flown out like a fired cannonball, and the blue-white shadow passing in front of the two men disappeared in an instant.

The next second, a loud noise came from the direction of Lutecia. Spartacus had already crashed into the city wall before all the soldiers climbed up the city wall.

The city wall, which had not been shaken even by the earthquake caused by Animusfia, was actually knocked out by Spartacus and opened a huge gap.

"Ha ha ha ha------!"

He laughed wildly and began to slaughter the defenders on the city wall, paying no attention to the spear points and the blades swung at him. The arrows that swarmed towards him were more like scratching him.

The more blood splattered, the more excited Spartacus became.

Even the naked eye can detect it. The more wounds he suffers, the bigger his terrifying size becomes.

Some people may not believe that the giant standing here is the mythical Hercules.

But now Spartacus looks more like a monster fighting against Hercules.

When the defenders on the last city wall saw the figure of Spartacus in the distance, they would run away as if they had seen a savage beast.

Other soldiers, led by Boudicca, began to follow in Spartacus's footsteps.

Thanks to Zhou Gongjin's spiritual power, the soldiers participating in the siege did not lose the will to fight like the enemy troops on the city wall who were frightened by the earthquake.

For the siegeers, this earthquake was not a natural disaster, but help from the gods - it was as powerful a weapon as siege towers, scorpion crossbows or slings for their siege.

Ladders were set up on the city wall one by one, and many soldiers climbed up effortlessly.

More people climbed in directly through the gap created by Spartacus.

Some soldiers guarding the city reacted and raised their weapons to resist.

However, it was too late. The soldiers who raised their daggers in a hurry would be pierced by several spears in the next moment.

The flag hanging high on the tower collapsed.

The city wall facing Animusfia has been completely destroyed.

If things continue like this, it will only be a matter of time before the Romagna First, Second, Third, and Fourth Legions take over the entire city of Lutecia.

That's right, Animusfia has merged Boudica's legion under the banner of [Romagna Legion].

It can be said that military power has been completely transferred to his hands.

However, Animusfia did not intend to do such intrigues from the beginning, and Boudica did the same.

It's hard to imagine what kind of people would still fight among themselves when the enemy is in front of them, and use their last strength on their own people.

If such a person really exists, he deserves to be destroyed.

Whether it is the director of Chaldea or the governor of Romagna, these positions are just useful tools for Animusfia.

That's all.

He just wanted to do something before he died. The so-called position and fame are the natural results of what he does, the so-called by-products of the chemical process.

Even then, Animusfia would prefer that his epitaph record what he did throughout his life, rather than just a few illusory positions or titles.

"Hmm."

Nero looked at the fallen city wall and nodded with satisfaction;

"If we continue like this, Yu and you can spend today's night in Lutecia City."

For a fortress of this size, it was a miracle that it took less than a day to conquer it.

"I have never been so far away from Roman territory before."

Nero said very expectantly.

"If only that were the case, Your Majesty."

But Animusfia's expression was still not that clear.

The advantages so far have been what Animusfia expected——————If this is the case, then the disadvantages and difficulties he expected will almost appear.

"Governor, do you have any other worries?"

"Your ancestor, Lord Octavian, has not yet appeared again."

Last time, Animusfia relied on its advantage on the battlefield and used Zhou Yu's Noble Phantasm to successfully defeat Octavian Augustus.

Nero was no match for him, and even Animusfia found it difficult to defeat him head-on.

So Animusfia is actually very satisfied that she can directly deal with such a being at sea.

But he didn't.

Animusfia was even so complacent that she did not realize that Nero's "emperor's prerogatives" had not increased like the last time he defeated Caesar.

...It was his mistake.

And now Animusfia is about to taste the consequences of her mistake.

We can only hope that Boudica and Spartacus, who still have no support from their masters, can defeat Octavian.

Not to mention that Nero was almost reaching the limit just by providing him with magic power, and the contract left by Simon, the previous court warlock, was still quite crude after all.

Although Animusfia herself also occupies the role of caster and can contract with servants. But now he can't even guarantee his own magic power, let alone take care of Boudica and Spartacus.

Not to mention what is happening with Boudicca, who was his enemy in Rome, if he formed a contract with the naturally rebellious Spartacus, it might destroy the relationship that allowed them to fight together.

Therefore, Animusfia planned to wait until everyone from Chaldea arrived before letting Ritsuka make a contract with them.

"We are finally here, the governor of Romagna - Animusphia and my lovely daughter - Nero."

As if to verify Animusfia's conjecture, Octavian's voice came from Lutetia and echoed in the battlefield.

But his title of "loved daughter" made Animusfia confused.

No, if it were true, Animusfia would be able to guess some of it.

Following Caesar's tradition of treating Nero as his granddaughter, would Octavian treat her as his daughter?

But after Caesar met Nero, he had no chance to contact Octavian again...

Moreover, Octavian had not called his emperor that way when they last met.

Is it possible that Octavian, like Caesar, slapped his head and decided to give up the complicated and difficult Julius-Claudian genealogy to identify more of his beloved daughters?

.....How many fathers is this to Nero, both overtly and covertly?

But Nero himself didn't seem to care too much about this.

"Do you want to say that we finally meet again? Gaius Octavian - Augustus. Or as you call me, my dear father."

Nero raised the primordial fire that had been filled with flames for some time and pointed at the still empty wall of Lutecia.

Boudica and the soldiers here looked around blankly, trying to find the source of the sound, but found nothing.

Spartacus is still carrying out demolition without hesitation.

Suddenly, as if time had been accelerated, pieces of pure white marble were placed on the gaps in the city wall by an unknown person.

Then, like a growing plant, the white marble quickly filled the gap when Spartacus came, and even expanded the city wall outwards.

All the soldiers, including Boudica and Spartacus, were imprisoned and became turtles in the urn city.

Moreover, the ever-extending Marble City was still rapidly attacking the scattered soldiers, Animusfia and Nero who remained outside the city.

Almost before the next blink of an eye, Nero and Animusfia were also imprisoned by the growing marble city.

The city of Lutetia in the initial center continued to climb upwards, rising to the top circle by circle.

What finally appeared in front of Nero and Animusfia was a chalk city with mountains and towers.

Octavian's figure appeared from the top of the tower.

"The glorious chalk city (Pax Romana), how will you respond this time?"

This is the yoke called peace.
