The terrified residents of Ephesus did not wait for the massacre that followed the fall of the city.
Not even a single robbery occurred.
The soldiers in silver armor took over the city. After they came to their senses, they were surprised to find a problem - the security in Ephesus seemed to be better than before!
No one knew what happened, but the panicked city of Ephesus did stabilize after three days.
The closed shops reopened, the streets were filled with the cries of peddlers, and the streets and alleys that were once deserted were now bustling with people.
If we really want to talk about those changes that have occurred——
The tricolor flag that once represented the Seleucid Empire in the city garrison was replaced by the more colorful and lifelike Goshawk Sword flag.
The soldiers stationed on the city walls were also transformed into soldiers wearing silver armor.
There were more patrol troops wearing silver armor on the streets. They were really patrolling, and the neighbors saw with their own eyes that they had caught a thief or a thug who molested women.
They also bought things from merchants, but they did not use Seleucid currency, but a kind of extremely beautifully printed paper money!
This kind of paper money is tough in texture, with words written on it that they cannot understand, but also with patterns that they can understand - there is a towering palace on the front, and a beautiful landscape is depicted on the back!
I guess this is the currency used by the countries where these invaders are.
The vendors did not refuse, because in their eyes, the banknote itself was a fine collection.
In short, the city of Ephesus has returned to its former appearance. Apart from the city walls that are still riddled with holes, there are no more traces of war left here.
Guan Xiaoxi lived in the city guard's mansion. Marquis Wellis originally thought that he would be judged by these invaders. He spent many days in fear but was safe and sound.
He still lived in the city guard's mansion. The difference from before was that he was being watched by two soldiers. When he tried to walk out of his mansion, the two soldiers did not stop him but just followed him.
He came to the city defense office and wanted to communicate with the invading general to ask what their intentions were. However, the two of them talked a little, but neither of them understood what the other meant.
On this day, Peng Yuyan brought an army of 300,000 to the outskirts of Ephesus.
Such a huge army surprised the residents of the city again. Many people climbed up the city walls and looked at the army that was also wearing silver armor. They were extremely shocked to realize that only a small part of the army had entered the city of Ephesus.
After hearing the news, Guan Xiaoxi took Marquis Verlis to the city wall with him. Now he was completely convinced that Maria II's prophecy was extremely correct.
Looking across the entire West Asia and even the European continent, which country can resist such a powerful army on land?
Peng Yuyan's 300,000-strong army camped outside the city. She entered the city with the Milata city defender Sissoya and a thousand personal guards.
Of course, Sissoya couldn't believe it. The city known as the strongest in the east of the Seleucid Empire had actually fallen into the hands of the enemy! Judging from the appearance of the city walls, the battle must have been extremely brutal. It was unknown whether Marquis Wellis died in the battle or escaped.
Just as Sisoya was in panic, he saw Marquis Wellis standing at the city gate. The Marquis was fine, except that he looked a little listless.
…
…
At the City Defense Office, Guan Xiaoxi told Peng Yuyan about the battle in detail.
"The language barrier is a big problem, General Peng. I plan to stay in Ephesus for a while. Firstly, I want to wait for news from the Tianji Pavilion's scouts, and secondly, I hope to lure this country's army to attack."
"Without the intelligence from the Tianji Pavilion, we are completely in the dark. We should wait here for the enemy to tire themselves out and eliminate as many enemies as possible while minimizing the casualties among our soldiers."
"There are enough guns and ammunition in the armory here. Although they are only comparable to our rifled guns, they can still make up for our lack of ammunition. Do you think this plan is feasible?"
Peng Yuyan nodded. "The army has been marching for so long and needs a proper rest. Along the way, I brought along the Milata City Guard, Xisuoya. We've had quite a few conversations and learned some of their language. We can even communicate using hand gestures. If there's anything you need to know, please let me know."
Guan Xiaoxi was overjoyed. He rubbed his hands and said, "I knew General Peng was powerful. I'll send someone to call the city guard over right away."
Marquis Wellis was brought to the City Guard Mansion. Peng Yuyan looked at him, smiled, and said two words in their language: "Please sit down!"
Marquis Wellis was startled and sat down opposite Peng Yuyan.
Guan Xiaoxi spoke happily: "I want to know which country this is? I need a map of this country and a map of this continent."
Peng Yuyan gestured and spoke obscurely. It took Marquis Wellis a cup of tea to understand what Peng Yuyan meant. He went out and soon brought back two maps.
"This country is called the Seleucid Empire, and the king is Seleucus I."
Peng Yuyan explained to Guan Xiaoxi, "According to what I said before, this place should be at the intersection of West Asia and Europe. If we continue westward, we should be able to enter the European continent."
Having said this, Peng Yuyan took the two maps, stood up and hung them on the wall. Guan Xiaoxi stood side by side with her and looked at the map of the Seleucid Empire.
"We are here now," Peng Yuyan pointed her finger at the map. "This place is Antioch, the capital of the Seleucid Empire. It is located next to this big river called the Orontes."
"This place is... a full thousand miles from Antioch, and we have to pass through thirty-six cities, large and small, along the way. It would be best if we could pass through peacefully. Would you like to have this Marquis write a letter to Seleucus I on your behalf?"
Guan Xiaoxian pondered for a moment and nodded. Although the First Army could easily push through the enemy, casualties were inevitable. Besides, their purpose was not to occupy the country.
Then they looked at another map. "From the Seleucid Empire, heading south... where is this?" Peng Yuyan looked at Marquis Wellis, who quickly said, "Egypt!"
"Here?"
"The Parthian Empire."
"We are going to enter the Parthian Empire and then enter this country..."
"Rome!"
"So we've entered the European continent," Peng Yuyan looked at Wellis again and asked, "Where's Frankie?"
"Frankie? You guys are going to Frankie?"
Peng Yuyan nodded, and Wellis's tissue paper landed in the lower left corner of the map. "Frankie is very far away, roughly 5,000 miles from Seleucus... It's very powerful... Of course, you are also very powerful."
This is a fight between two tigers. Wellis felt a little strange. Could this powerful army coming from the East be a match for Maria II?
Did Maria II foresee that these demons would invade her Franky?
