Augustus Under the Horseshoe - v2 Chapter 566

The tribe’s investment was not in vain. The western empire had no shortage of food, weapons, and money at all. Their only problem was the endless internal contradictions, and the presence of powerful external enemies.

After Aetius unified the Gaul warlords and successively incorporated and defeated the Germanic tribes, the weapons and money that the barbarians snatched from Rome were also spit out by the psionicists. He even opened the door, and The tribes shared the Roman military arsenal, each casting the world and serving as the commander of the empire at the same time, casting weapons with the governors of the four provinces.

Yes, before, the tribe only occupied the southern half of the province of Dalmatia, but now the entire province of Dalmatia, together with the position of the governor, is regarded as Honoria’s dowry, and everything has fallen into it. The hand of Painhurs.

The regent dowager even promised that if the tribe can retake the northwestern Alps, the province of Letia, which has been occupied for a century, then the governorship of the province will also be given to the tribe.

This marriage was naturally opposed by many people. After discovering that the marriage contract was torn, the lord of Spain’s five hundred towns was even more furious. The united force was like the regent dowager Placidia to exert pressure through a series of political methods. Let her change her mind.

However, the three giants of the Western Roman Empire now stand side by side. Placidia and her son, Augustus: Valentinian III, who is a minor, occupy the heart of the empire, Italy, and the wealthy North Africa.

Aetius and his terrifyingly large mixed army occupied Gaul, and nominally there was the British rule that had already fallen.

And Spain and the western islands are the basic plate of Giliman. The other two giants all stood on the side of the tribe, and the big wedding was held as scheduled. The governors of the six provinces far away in Spain could only utter a helpless sigh.

If we insist that there is a fourth giant in the Western Empire, then nominally the land is only the four border provinces in the east, but in fact, Painhes, whose land spans across the four seas, is the most terrifying of them.

After a Roman-style wedding was held in Milan, the complacent Painhus returned to Fort Terror and immediately began to mobilize slaves to explore the 100-year-old province of Letia. The degree of development of that piece of land is not generally low. Large tracts of mountains and forests occupy 98% of the local land. There is nothing but wood, and the monsters and monsters entrenched in the forest.

The warchief was not interested, and invested a lot of money here to burn forests and cultivate. The land here is indeed fertile. If it takes decades to cultivate the forest and attract people to move in, it will become extremely prosperous in about a hundred years.

However, that is too long. Investing so many gold coins in it will only pay back after more than a hundred years? Excuse me, there is not enough time to waste.

From the beginning, the tribe did not intend to occupy the province of Letia. Their purpose was only one: to build a marching road that traverses the province of Letia and reaches Gaul.

Under the arrogant scolding of the slave owner, the whip shocked the sky, a huge slave troop, a carriage full of supplies, giants all over the sky, and teams of orcs, from The various territories of the tribe set out to cut down trees on a large scale.

Amidst the trembling noises, birds all over the sky flew away from the green canopy in horror, and piles of lush ancient trees fell to the ground. Carpenters rushed up, relying on the heavy tools carried on the carriage, and processed the wood on the spot. Some slaves held shovel. Start digging holes and insert sharpened wooden stakes into these deep holes, as if building a solid wooden wall.

The spies from the Big Three of the Western Roman Empire tilted their heads in confusion, wondering what the warchief was doing. About a month later, this road has stretched 30 kilometers from Noricum to the west. Every one kilometer on both sides of the road, there is a small wooden guard tower, and every ten kilometers, there is a simple wooden fortress for hoarding soldiers, food, grass, and baggage.

The spies took a sigh of relief. At this moment, they already understood Painhuis’s operation: This guy is building a road, and he wants to build a road across the Germanic forest to the Gaul region! In addition, guard towers and defensive wooden fortresses are set up on both sides. If the construction is successful, the tribal cavalry can go directly to Gaul, and there is no need to worry about logistical supplies being cut off!

As for the current situation in Gaul? Aetius occupied most of the Gaul region. Only the imperial land in the Rhine region was not recovered. The armies under the psionicists attacked several times, but they encountered desperate resistance from the barbarians and suffered heavy losses. They were supplying and resting. Now the situation in Gaul is very turbulent. The contradiction between the Celts and the Romans in Gaul has become the contradiction between the Celtic, Germanic, and Roman nations.

There is no major chaos in the city, and the small chaos keeps on. Your own battle group must be scattered and stationed in every city, every fortress, and temporarily unable to recover the last land-of course, these are just the battle reports written by Etius to Milan.

Anyone with a little bit of political perspective understands that these Germanic barbarians who “resisted to the death” are all ally of Aetius, and he is supporting the bandits.

When faced with Augustus’s question about why he built a fortress privately, Painhurs was quite innocent.

The governors of the four provinces stated that they are carrying out the will of Augustus, restoring the province of Letia, and restoring the glory of the empire. The first step, of course, is to build a trunk road so that he can import a lot of materials into the vast forest. in.

Moreover, this place is really poor and evil. In just one month, the troops sent by the tribe into Letia suffered thirteen surprise attacks, of which seven were Germanic barbarians and five were local aboriginal fairies. , For the last time, even an old green dragon-his lair, just in front of the tribe’s construction road.

In these thirteen attacks, Painhurs’ slaves also suffered heavy losses, so they had to build guard towers and fortresses on both sides of the road, and continue to increase their troops to ensure safety. In the end, the Druids of Withered Bones, and The half-green dragons and horses of the dead poets almost all dispatched to clear out the danger in the forest.

The wrath of an old dragon is terrifying. These **** mortals cut their forest in half from the middle, cutting down a lot of giant potted plants that they have worked so hard to twist and shape with arcane arts, and even move all the way to their own. Dragon Nest is here?

Accompanied by the shocking death dragon roar and the poisonous fog that covered the mountains and plains, the old dragon almost killed one-tenth of the pioneers with the poisonous dragon’s breath in just one day. His violence destroyed two wooden fortresses and ten watch towers. He deliberately used toxins to make some people half alive. The swollen skin was covered with hideous blisters, allowing these survivors to spread their own terror. .

And just when the old dragon went back to sleep contentedly, the next day he was ready to push all these **** invaders out of their homes, only to find that there was a silver statue standing in the camp of those invaders. Ancient Silver Dragon, her body was as huge as a mountain range, two levels larger than her, and she had three heads!

Under the coercion of an ancient metal dragon, the old dragon took a breath of air. Whatever the dignity of the king, and what his own territory is all gone, holding the treasure he has accumulated over the years, dingyly abandon the dragon’s nest and run directly.
