Old Sword Master

“No, no, they simply don’t know your identity. You were surrounded by enemies at the time. You moved a heretic leader with your noble personality and turbulent integrity. They wanted to kill you for sacrifice, but because of that just now The converted heresy is protected by the protection of the boss, so you can persist in the extremely dangerous environment. All of this is God bless, so that you can serve the overall benefit of the Emperor Your Majesty, God Your Majesty’s long-term divine force, the ultimate Spanish people Victory.” Wood said here, glaring at Elble, who was almost laughing, and laughed at him.

“What?!” Elble suddenly felt cold. He realized that he would rather choose a dog than play the role Wood said. “No, I don’t!”

“There is no room for you to say no.” Wood would not be good to Elble. “Are you not willing to sacrifice to rebuild the temple?”

“I…what about my family, they will…”

“They are also making sacrifices to rebuild the temple, and you will have to reform yourself in the future, convert to God’s example, and promote it everywhere.”

“… “

Wood left behind Elble, who underestimated the darkness of life and thought death was the most terrifying thing, and continued to help little Bazin.

“Director Bazin, although you are very humble, you can’t be humble for yourself and don’t deserve the honor. You don’t care about yourself, and you have to think about the people who helped you.” Wood said and glanced at Uncle Hei. With Morty, the two of them looked at each other in blank dismay. It is clear that the little Bazin was guilty of kidnapping them. If they break into the enemy, they will cooperate tacitly.

“…” Little Bazin was silent for a long time, and then looked at the unlovable Elble, the little bastard who hung himself tortured would be more refined than himself, “Yes, it’s him, it’s him,” Overall interests, long-term divine force, final victory… I can’t deny the honor I deserve, and I can’t ignore you Wood, this time you have exerted so much power and there are few benefits. I will report to Rome Here, talk about your devotion to God. “

“Yes, yes, that’s it.” Wood shouted after he finished speaking and took a sip of the tranquilizer. This little bastard really doesn’t know how to cherish it.

…

“Wood, you have worked hard this time.” Mrs. Bazin was completely relieved of her son’s partner. “If you are willing to convert to God, I can immediately recommend you to serve as the bishop of Meng City. In the future, Archbishop in Crete will not be you. It must be.”

“Many thanks, Madam, for your kindness, but I didn’t arrange my career like this.” Wood added, “Mrs. Bazin, if it is convenient, please get a unique bonus that can be superimposed with other perception Rare Item. , The rank does not matter.”

“Okay.” Mrs. Bazin agreed without much hesitation. This matter is just not easy for the Bazin family. It will not make her refuse. Any unique value-added Rare Item cannot be simply classified, but although Wood does not pay attention to the rank, Bazin Madam is still a well-known person in her heart, “But the unique Rare Item may come by with luck, but not by searching for it. If the one you get can only increase your perception, I will provide you with an extra calming agent. Yesterday you said that the tea supply is not important to increase, but you try not to distribute it. We can continue to discuss the price.

“Okay, let your secretary talk to Santaalali, I have to go to the break.”

“it is good.”

Both Wood and Mrs. Bazin suddenly felt strongly, tired!

…

tired!

Over 10,000,000 li, this feeling connects Wood and Hannibal on the “hot spring gate”.

This Hannibal’s fate was slightly longer than that of Hannibal on most planes. Because of Wood’s fighting, the Seleucid Empire gave the mighty Romans a heavy blow, and he did not fall. After the defeat and suicide, he was able to return to his hometown.

Chapter 406-Hannibal Lands in Utica

Utica City is located about 40 kilometers north of the Western District of Carthage and is one of the oldest cities in the Republic of Carthage.

In the first 50 years after the Carthaginians settled in the city of Carthage under the leadership of their queen Dido, the Carthaginians extended their tentacles to this place as an important trading stronghold to the west.

But because Carthage was far from its subsequent prosperity at the time, the mother city did not provide all support during the construction of the city, and the builders of Utica raised most of the resources on their own, so this city is still a simple business. From the time of the stronghold, there was a certain degree of independence within the Carthage regime.

They have their own hereditary City Lord. Most of the officials below the City Lord are appointed by the City Lord. The Elder’s Council of Carthage can only appoint a few civil servants to ensure taxation.

This independence has so far not jeopardized the Carthage Republic strategically. In the first and second wars against the Romans, the city was besieged by Ma Dajun, but they all insisted on resisting, especially the second. In the second war, even if the rescue army was defeated by Scipio, they did not surrender.

After making peace with Rome and losing most of the land, Utica’s importance and independence within the Republic have been further strengthened. Compared with the hereditary City Lord of Utica, the Elder’s Council of Carthage is no longer an overwhelming force. .

This is why Hannibal-Baka chose this place as his landing point for returning home after he understood that he was already an unwelcome person in Carthage.

He has been back here for 3 days and rented a very good warehouse-cum dormitory. He did not bring the soldiers Antiochus III gave him. He only brought a dozen of his own old men, who followed him across the Alps. Shan, full of Old Partners who played the second war against the Romans. They have stayed with him in Utica for several days and sold some high-quality goods provided by Antioch III.

Hannibal has been walking through the streets, learning about the city and asking about the lives of the citizens.

This Old General is older than when he left, and he wears a hood most of the time, which keeps him from revealing his identity.

After 3 days ashore, he came to the temple of Baal-Harmon in Utica.

There are not many people in the temple, but also not very few. They all gathered in front of the Baal-Harmony 2 meter high statue, one meter high base, and the overall 3 meter high Divine Idol to pray.

This surprised his entourage because they all knew that Hannibal’s relationship with the Elder’s Council in Carthage had deteriorated further due to religious problems.

Even if the two sides did not cooperate well in the war, even if he lost the decisive battle with Scipio in Zama, he was still the hero of the Carthaginians before giving up his belief in the two gods of Carthage.

Even though many veterans had ever scrupulous about him threatening the republican system, many veterans were disappointed that he did not win the Battle of Zama, but any reasonable person would admire him for 5 years of fighting in the Roman Republic, and he was invincible for 5 years. He has not had a single defeat, so it is not to say that he followed his father and brother-in-law to overcome difficulties in Spain and restored the Carthage Republic, which was once defeated to Rome, into a first-class power. It was the Carthage Elder’s Council. The weak chickens sent out have lost every opportunity that Hannibal created.

When Antiochus III defeated the Romans at Hot Springs, many veterans cheering excitedly said that Hannibal must have led Antiochus III to win this victory.

They strongly demanded in Elder’s Council to stop paying indemnities to Rome, and sufficient troops to fight the Romans again.

Although he is far from getting a majority, if Hannibal still believes in the two gods, he will definitely receive their warmest welcome when he returns to Carthage, and he does not need to hide his head and show his tail like he does now.

As long as he gave a lively speech, even if he could not let the Elder’s Council declare war on the Romans, at least he could stop offering tributes, and he himself would never be expelled again.

This is a good situation for the Carthage Republic. Many Old Partners felt incredible for Hannibal to give up his belief in the two gods, to believe in the Greek Zeus, or Lord of the Storm, just because he followed Hanni For half a lifetime, they had become accustomed to obedience, and no one questioned him.

But the person Hannibal was going to meet today would not be the case.

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people in the temple. It seemed that there were only people who went out, not people who came in.

“Attention!” Hannibal’s guard Captain is a warrior from Gaul. He joined Hannibal’s command for ten silver coins with the head of Goddess on Tennet. After following him into the Apennine Peninsula, he once got 1000 times the spoils of war for his life.
