With a few loud "booms", several pieces were missing on the upper edge of the wooden and stone wall of Fort Madrid. Proseus and Gayus, who had already retreated to the official residence under the city, were anxiously turned like ants, and their faces turned pale when they heard the roar of artillery.

Geus trembled his lips and said to Proseus: "Brother, there are Sicilian troops outside, at least 30,000. There are only four or five thousand people in our city, and it is an isolated city. Not to mention that we can't defend it. Even if we keep it, we will starve to death and thirst. I think... I think we should surrender..."

Proseus sighed long, waved his palm and patted his thighs hard...

Outside the Fortress of Madrid, when the Sicilian army gunners cleaned the barrel and refilled the gunpowder and solid lead-iron shells, the city thrown hung several white flags. Zhao Yun, who was commanding in the formation, breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect this battle to go so smoothly."

A few days later, a group of prisoners, including Proseus and Gaius, were escorted to the Port of Barcelona on the coast. Proseus and Gaius were escorted by Sicilian soldiers and entered a military tent tremblingly. A man turned his back to them, none other than Feng Yu, who was named Feng Yu.

Feng Yu laughed at them and said, "Your Excellency the Inspector and the Veteran Geus. We seem to have not met for some time. Since we are lucky enough to meet again today, we will gather together to drink and reminisce about the past."

Just as the two looked at each other and didn't know how to speak, Feng Yu waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to loosen their ties. Some other soldiers had moved tables and chairs and served wine. After a while, several generals under Feng Yu, including Zhao Yun, also came to the tent.

When everyone sat down, Feng Yu and others started drinking with a knife and chewed meat with a fork, Prohus sat straight and still without moving. Seeing that he was like this, Gayus also put the fork with a piece of beef back on the plate.

Proseus looked forward with his eyes curled up, but asked Feng Yu, who was sitting in the head, "Hello Feng Hu, Gayus and I are your prisoners of war, and we should be imprisoned in the prison room now. But you treat this as a result, we think we have something to tell you. If you have anything, just say it, there is no need to beat around the bush."

Feng Hu put down the tableware in his hand, smiled indifferently and said, "It's actually nothing. I want to ask you to continue to guard and manage the far Spanish region of Gaul."

As soon as this was said, let alone Proseus and Gayus, even Zhao Yun, who was focusing on dining, was shocked and put down the tableware in his hand.

Proseus, whose face changed drastically, hurriedly asked, "What does this mean? Is Alexander... His Majesty the Emperor pardoned me and asked me to continue to be sealed in far away Spain? Or... Or do you have other plans to let me go privately?"

Feng Yu shook his head solemnly and said, "Not either. You hear it clearly. It's because I want to ask you to guard the far-far Spanish region for me. This means---you are serving me and loyal to me."

After hearing this, Proseus was stunned for a moment and laughed: "So, the Governor will also rebel against Alexander and the Senate of Rome like us."

Feng Yu drank the remaining red wine in the cup and said, "You are still not right. I did not rebel against the Roman Emperor. Because there is no emperor in Rome at the moment. Just a few days ago, probably when General Zhao Yun was conquering you in Fort Madrid, news came from the city of Rome, and there was another coup there..."

All the people in the tent, except for a few generals Feng Yu who already knew the news, listened to Feng Yu's simple story in surprise.

It turned out that just half a month ago, the mansion where the Roman Emperor Alexander and his wife and his mother Amyas were inexplicably caught in a fire. The guards army loyal to the emperor immediately entered the mansion to put out the fire and search for rescue, but only found their burnt bodies.

The matter is not over yet. The people under the civil servant Kuntus soon discovered that the Alexander family was not killed by the fire, but was poisoned before the fire. Obviously, the fire was also man-made, just to destroy the corpse. For such a big incident, Kuntus could not cover it up even if he wanted to cover it. What's more, he didn't want to hide this situation from the outside world.

There is no doubt that this major incident will trigger great turmoil within Rome. In just a few days, Alexander's left and right armies, Alelian and Theodossi began to accuse each other of being the real culprit behind this incident. After a short war of words, they drove the troops guarding the Apennines from the south and north to the city of Rome. At the same time, they also issued military orders to the legions stationed in other provinces, requiring these troops to assemble to the Apennines.

Feng Yu said this, and then paused and said meaningfully: "The news I received has ended here. I believe that the legion of their two men has fought fiercely in the city of Rome and the neighborhood. I have dealt with these two people and ambitious about their ambitions. No matter who killed His Majesty Alexander, it is the same for them. They must believe that as long as they get rid of the other party, they will be the lord of the future Romans. In addition to establishing themselves as Roman emperors, they will also abolish the political system that lasted for thousands of years, follow my mother country, and add all the powers of the empire in their own hands. At that time, the Senate would definitely not exist, and even... it is not certain whether the name of Rome will exist."

Geus, who had not been interrupted, stumbled and said, "So, Rome, is Rome going to perish?"

Feng Yu nodded and said, "If no one intervenes, you should all know that among the various forces in Rome, Aurelian and Theodossi are the most powerful. Even if they have a big fight and scored a lot of results, their strength will still surpass the military power of any force. What's more, the winner will also take Alexander's Guards. In addition, the winner who occupy Rome will also have the advantage of political system. But there is another way now, which is..."

Feng Yu said this and pointed his index finger at himself. Proseus narrowed his eyes and said, "So, the Governor also wants to become his own and compete with them? So I want me to be loyal to you and help you manage this far-far Spanish province?"

Prohus laughed: "You are so naive, or pretending to be so naive..." He continued, regardless of Gayus' pulling his sleeve:

"His Excellency Feng Yu, your Sicilian army is extremely powerful. But as you said just now, it is still far from Aurelian and Theodossi. You must know that the combined military strength of the two of them accounts for almost 80% of the entire Roman army. How do you fight with them? In addition, how do you believe that I will always be loyal to you and instead seek the winner among them?"

Now there is only one way to save Rome.”
