Sima Ji, who was still on the road in the Roman fleet, was still paying attention to the battle situation on Apheriga. He learned that Caesar, who was commanding the troops, was Constantius. Sima Ji barely accepted the defeat of the Egyptian Crusader. After all, he was the father of Emperor Constantine. Can he be Caesar of Roman without a few tricks?

Sima Ji is most familiar with this type of name. Constantine XI, the last emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire. The last emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire should belong to the roles of Jin Aizong and Chongzhen. If the records are true, the last emperor of China should not have shown any more strength to turn the tide than him. Whether it is Jin Aizong who died of the country with the king for the first time in history books, or Chongzhen who also died of the country with the king.

When the Ottoman Empire came, Constantine XI realized that his doomsday had come, so she rushed into the enemy's formation and died in battle.

When Constantine Eleven succeeded to the throne, the Eastern Roman Empire was really unsuccessful. Only two castles, including Constantinople, were left, and all reinforcements were defeated by the Ottomans. It was comparable to that of the Battle of Sanfeng Mountain, only one Jin Aizong of Caizhou was left, facing Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty.

Many last emperors did not fail to turn the tide. The last emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty who was abolished by Gao Huan, and the Emperor Zhaozong of Tang in the late Tang Dynasty said that he had been before the Jin Dynasty, and Emperor Xian of Han once wanted to revitalize the Han Dynasty. It can only be said that when they appeared, the collapse of the dynasty was indeed one person who could not save it.

This is different from the dynasty that had not been infighting for a long time in the founding of the country. The Qin, Jin and Sui dynasties were all able to save them. Destruction was not a collection of multiple reasons. If the King of Changsha Sima Yi was the final winner, he would definitely not be frightened by Shi Le. The ruling foundation of the Sui dynasty was not bad, but he had caught up with Emperor Yang of Sui, who was even more capable than Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Emperor Wu of Liang, and Emperor Qianlong, and there was nothing he could do about it.

When he learned that one of the commanders was Caesar Constantius, Sima Ji fiddled with this finger and said slowly, "The four Roman emperors, one of the four Caesar commanded the army. That Roman army that had not yet appeared, the commander should be a person of the same level. If it weren't for Diocletian, then his deputy Caesar Galerius."

"I think they are coming soon!" Sima Ji went back and forth in front of many generals and schools and analyzed, "This is the Romans' place. They must know how to cooperate with the two groups. If nothing unexpected happens, we will see another army in the past two days. We will concentrate our efforts to kill one. After all, Egypt is not large, and we don't have much room for maneuver. We cannot let them join forces to attack together."

"Zhao Shen, you will bring another 10,000 team to follow Murong Han to remove Constantius, but remember that if you win, try not to be too cruel to the captives, and do not hurt Constantius." Sima Ji turned around and ordered Zhao Shen, who had just returned with Murong Han, "Don't worry about Christian thoughts, we should do things according to our own standpoint."

"I will understand!" Zhao Shen did not understand the deep reason for this order, but this did not delay him from taking the order.

Why is the King of Yan sometimes extremely cruel, but sometimes merciless? It's very simple. He is naturally extremely cruel to Sima Ji, a tribe who cannot record hatred. Unless the other party fights like the Hu people, he will run away, and he will be polite if he can't escape. For civilizations that can remember hatred, he will follow certain rules to avoid too straightforward hatred.

There is no nation in this world that does not hold grudges, but in the Jin Dynasty, there were still many forces that could hold grudges before they could reach the point of being able to hold grudges. However, Persia and Rome must have been developed. The King of Yan acted based on certain civilized people's practices. He could even follow the local customs and talk about cede land and pay compensation.

At the same time, Constantius, who had just won, was also rectifying his troops. He never dreamed that a group of Christians who had no combat experience would have the courage to fight head-on with the Roman legion in just a short time. The deep reason behind this had to make Constantius fall into deep thought.

Unlike eastern Rome, although Christians in western Rome were also suppressed, they were more restricted in rights. This is also the different calming attitudes of the East and the West regarding the crisis in the third century.

Constantius, a Christian group, is familiar. It can even be said that the proportion of Christians in the western provinces of the empire is higher than that in the eastern provinces, although Christ originated in the eastern region.

Constantius' army annihilated most of the Egyptian Crusades organized by Egyptian Christians in one day, which was a miracle battle! However, the Roman legion suffered a great loss, with more than 5,000 casualties. Facing Christians who were civilians not long ago, they reimbursed the organization of a Roman legion.

With the powerful strength of the Roman Empire, there are only less than 500,000 Roman legions. You should know that there are seven legions that have disappeared, which is already the limit of the Roman Empire. Now, when encountering Christian crusaders, it will be so great that if you really encounter that Eastern army, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Compared with the Constantius army, which only lost 5,000 soldiers, Egypt's crusaders suffered more than 15,000 casualties; the bright red blood of the crusaders nourished the yellow sand on the battlefield between the two sides.

"Caesar, some of the captured Christians said that Egypt was about to choose a pope and gather the strength of all Christians to resist our attack!" The commander of the legion, Axius, came over at this time and reported to Constantius the situation provided by the prisoners. Simaji was in a dark face to the Romans. In fact, Constantius's situation was not much better.

Constantius' territory is Spain, Gaul and Britain. How could it be possible to understand the situation in the Eastern Region? Not to mention that it is so far apart, even Gaul and Britain have very different local environments.

"What, Pope? What do these Christians want to do?" Constantius furiously heard Axius's words, "You must eradicate these Christians. If you don't let them go, this is the woe to the empire."

Originally, Constantius had never had much malice towards Christians, which was definitely different from Augustus and Caesar in the East. However, since the Egyptian Christians opened the door to face the enemy, it also affected his perception of this group.

The word Pope deeply hurt Constantius's heart. He could not allow such a pope to appear in the empire. It can be said that since he heard the words of his subordinates, he no longer had any mercy towards Christians.

"I heard that Jesus was crucified to death, so that all the prisoners who claimed to be the crusades were crucified by me, and they were lined up to the east. I will order all the Egyptian Christians from Alexander to Afilica." Constantius gave the extremely cruel command directly.

Facts have proved how terrible it is when a person who appears to be kind is really angry. Compared to Diocletian and Caesar Galerius, Constantius is a person with a low sense of existence among the Four Emperors, not like Diocletian and the Four Emperors, nor is it like Galerius conquered the capital of the Persian Empire.

Constantius, who had always faced Gaul and Britain, was already worried about the tribes, so he did not restrict Christians. However, everything in Egypt deeply changed him at this time, making him make a more terrifying decision than Galerius.

Constantius, who had thought that he could return to the empire of the empire, had also prepared a terrifying order. He imitated Jesus' death and crucified all the prisoners of war captured in this battle as a shock.

This has great symbolic significance. The cross is not just a symbol of Christians. The cross itself is a punishment of the Roman Empire, but it is also a very shocking punishment. It was only when Jesus was executed by it that it was spread among Christians. Now Constantius has re-defined this punishment, and its significance is extraordinary.

On this day, more than 5,000 crusaders were personally ordered by Constantius to be crucified on the cross, and there were not even so many crosses. Constantius even thought of a way to save money. One cross was crucified back to back, and they let them scream back to back until they died of excessive bleeding.

Many people saw the captives who swayed in the wind in the desert, swaying in great pain, and many of them saw Constantius's face. These dead Christians may not know that the son of this man would give Christians an equal status in a few years, but now, nothing is possible. Christians have become rebellious in the Roman Empire.

This tragic situation was just a very normal behavior in the eyes of the Roman legion. It was these rebels who killed many of their companions. Seeing them die in pain, they could comfort their companions' heroic spirits.

After the surrender, Constantius passionately reported the harm of Christians to the empire in the name of Caesar, and said that he would no longer tolerate these rebellions. Finally, he expressed that he wanted to restore the glory of Rome, and that he would first defeat all these rebellions, and he was determined to be in harmony with these rebellious trends.

The morale of the Roman legion soldiers who heard Constantius' statement was greatly boosted, swept away the previous decline, marched in the crosses along the way, and continued to march eastward with a very ritual sense.
