Chapter 136: Letter from Lord Caesar



Xia Zhe thought about this matter very thoroughly.

Xia Zhe was quite satisfied with Fang Zhongyina's proactive attitude. He was very happy to have picked up a beautiful woman with both wisdom and courage for nothing.

What's more, as Xia Zhe's woman, Yina handed the orange King's Heart to Xia Zhe personally without saying a word.

Being so frank with her made Xia Zhe like her even more.

Xia Zhe is self-aware and knows that he is not cut out to govern a country or an army.

Now that our country is getting stronger, it is very necessary to have someone who is capable and reliable to help us!

Ina's appearance came at the right time.

If I make her the queen, I can be more comfortable as the boss.

What's more, this woman is so powerful and acts like she is completely devoted to him.

If she is merely made a princess, like those princesses from vassal states, I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it.

Just do it in one go and no one will have anything to say.

Honestly, Ina is a powerful queen, not a delicate princess! She has the power to control the entire Seranda region and serve Stoby!

Personally, those princesses, no matter their looks or skills, can't compare to Yina. Such a top-notch woman, Xia Zhe gives her even greater favor, any princess would have to admit defeat!

The king's decision was unanimously supported by Achilles and others!

A few days later, a grand wedding was held in the city of Hebron. The leaders of the thirty-seven major tribes in the Seranda region all attended the celebration!

Dozens of generals from vassal states who accompanied the army also offered blessings on behalf of their kings!

With almost no bloodshed, Stobi turned the entire Seranda region into his vassal state.

As a result, almost all city-states on the northern foothills of Mount Olympus, except for a few countries such as Macedonia, were incorporated into the framework dominated by Stobi.

This unexpected political effect made Odysseus, the prime minister and others admire him very much.

But deep down in Xia Zhe's heart, he really didn't think that much.

He was simply very satisfied with this woman, Ina!

At the same time, the Roman Legion's ocean-going warships slowly sailed away from the port of Skora.

A million troops had gone on an expedition, but now only a few hundred thousand were returning. Pompey and Crassus, standing silently at the bow, both had heavy expressions on their faces.

The mission to hunt down Spartacus had failed, and the news that the expeditionary force was almost wiped out had reached Rome.

The two knew that their dreams of becoming consuls were shattered.

In contrast, Caesar, who had been at a disadvantage in the consulship race, had just defeated a barbarian coalition in Gaul and captured the leaders of over sixty barbarian tribes. His reputation had skyrocketed.

As one side gained power, the other side lost power, and the chief consul of the Roman Republic was almost in Caesar's hands.

"Report to the commander, the fleet has received a letter from Lord Caesar!" said a guard.

Pompey and Crassus took the letter in surprise, opened it and read it, and were both furious.

Caesar, who had just returned to Rome as a victor, was in high spirits. His letter was written entirely in the tone of a quasi-consul.

The letter comforted the two men, saying victory and defeat were common in the military. After returning to the Apennines, as long as they followed him and worked hard, no one would hold them accountable for their mistakes.

As for the barbarian kings in northern Greece and the hateful traitor Spartacus, let them live for two more years.

Once Rome completely pacifies Gaul and the Iberian Peninsula, it will be able to concentrate its terrifying military power.

At that time, Caesar will personally lead the troops and return to the Greek mainland again.

By then, not only can he avenge the two of them and kill the barbarian king and the traitor, but he will also complete the unprecedented feat of conquering the entire Greek continent!

Having just suffered a crushing defeat, Pompey and Crassus could only sigh in response to Caesar's boastful remarks, although they were unwilling to accept it.

The reason why Rome lost to the Strobiid King, who had a stronger army, was ultimately due to Rome's lack of strength.

If Rome could pacify Gaul and the Iberian Peninsula, its hard power would completely surpass the entire Greek continent.

It’s a pity that the one who achieved great things at that time was no longer me!

The city of Hebrew.

King Stoby's grand wedding is over, and the Stoby army is about to return.

Knowing that Stobius had already occupied most of Western Thrace, Spartacus, whose hometown was in Thrace, naturally wanted to follow.

For this purpose, he went to see King Stobi and expressed his intentions.

After staying in Hebron for more than ten days, Xia Zhe had already figured out the Romans' intentions.

It turns out that all these troubles were caused by Spartacus.

This man was able to successfully mobilize hundreds of thousands of slaves to revolt in Rome, a country whose power was booming. He was also able to escape across the sea with hundreds of thousands of remaining soldiers. His strength was truly remarkable!

In particular, in order to protect his teammates, he resolutely broke away from the main force and attracted the Roman army of one million to himself.

That determination shows Spartacus's character.

This was the reason why Ina refused to hand over this man and would rather turn against the Roman expeditionary army than surrender him.

Now that Spartacus is interested in joining Stoby and wants to return to his hometown to develop, Xia Zhe naturally agrees.

He immediately sent Spartacus to Achilles, and returned to Thasos with Achilles as the core general of the eastern theater of war.

As for the Western Theater Command, the newlywed Ina certainly couldn't stay in Hebryan permanently.

After much deliberation, Xia Zhe decided to leave Ajax behind to guard the city.

Ajax and the local warriors of Seranda have long formed a deep fighting friendship.

He was appointed as the governor of the western war zone and stationed in Hebron. All the tribes in the Seranda region were convinced.

Before leading the army away, at Yina's strong suggestion, Xia Zhe also sent people to strengthen the defenses of the two cities.

One is the city of Lechnados, which guards the western entrance of Mount Olympus, and the other is the port of Skora, the largest seaport on the Ionian Sea.

Xia Zhe had a large number of Greek fires built in both locations, similar to the specifications of Thasos, thus blocking both the sea and land routes into the Seranda region.

In this way.

If any external forces want to get involved in the Seranda region in the future, it will no longer be as easy as when the Roman legions came.

After everything was over, Xia Zhe led the army back to Stobi City.

The return trip was much slower than the journey here.

Xia Zhe felt very relaxed, traveling and enjoying the scenery during the day and exercising with Yina at night.

On the other hand, after becoming the queen of Stoby, Ina was full of energy and determined to make Stoby bigger and stronger.

Although she was very busy at night, when she had nothing to do during the day, she would always chat with Achilles, Odysseus, the prime minister and others to discuss strategies for governing the country.

Deliberately slowing down the return journey was the strategy discussed by several people.

He planned to digest and absorb this and bring the barbarian cities along the way into Stobi's system.

Two months later, I returned to Stobby City.

All the city-states along the route to Seranda in the west recognized Stobi's suzerainty.

North of Mount Olympus, straddling the east and west coasts, with the exception of Macedonia, no other power was beyond the control of Stobi.
