William, whose full name is William Augustus, was born in the ancient Augustan family of the Roman Empire.
The Augustan family comes from the former Augustus the Great, that is, from the republican era, reformed the head of state, and opened up Octavian of the Roman Empire.
This surname was a glory of the Roman Empire and at the same time the spiritual backbone of the Roman army.
So when the news came back that Augustus' legions had been almost wiped out on the battlefield in Egypt, the entire Roman Empire was boiling, which was a heavy blow to the Roman Empire.
William, the commander in charge of this battle, should be on the winch.
He was defeated, defeated by the glory of Augustus.
Only his blood can wash away the shame of the House of Augustus.
But the Roman Emperor Severus is facing a dangerous situation now, and has reached a point where there are no generals available, and William, as the first main offensive general of the Roman Empire, at this critical time, he cannot cut off his own arm even if he is angry.
So William ended up in the province of Pannonia.
Severus had concentrated the last of the Empire's forces to form three legions, the Alpha Legion, the Thracian Legion, and the Pannonian Legion, the main force of the three legions of more than half a million soldiers and horses, all deployed in the northern part of the Pannonian Province.
This will be a trump card for Severu.
And this army now needs a main general.
Even after a defeat on the battlefield in Egypt, William still could not deny that he was the best offensive commander in the entire Roman Empire, so Severus took this opportunity to send him north and let him sit in this huge main force in the north.
"Dear General William, why" The question was opened by the chief consul of the Alpha Legion, Antonio, a Greek from the Greek peninsula and a trusted guard under Severus.
No one ever doubted his loyalty to Severus.
So when Severus formed the Secret Legion, he became the most suitable general in Severus's heart to be in charge of the Alpha Legion.
Alpha, a legend from Greek mythology.
Many of the young men of this army were recruited from Greece.
He thought that at this time, as long as the attack could successfully cross the Danube, it would be possible to kill the demon army on the other side of the river by surprise, after all, it was impossible for the army on the other side of the river to know that their hundreds of thousands of troops were actually hidden under their noses.
"Now that we are attacking, do you think our three legions can defeat their nearly a million soldiers and horses?"
William was indifferent, his eyes swept over the three main generals, and asked rhetorically.
"The defense they have arranged is sparse, as long as we attack them unprepared, we will definitely be able to disrupt their formation" The answer to William was a black general, his voice was sloppy, and the killing intent was soaring: "As long as we can defeat their formation first and slaughter more than 10,000 of their demons, it will inevitably make them chaotic, and then drive straight in, killing a river of blood" This is the governor of the province of Pannonia, Gregor.
A fierce and courageous general from North Africa.
He was Severu's confidant and was known as Severu's first executioner.
In order to fight this battle, Gregor killed 8,000 Roman prisoners in front of the city of Rome, shocked the 50,000 defenders in the city, and became famous in a battle, forcing the senators to open the city gate to welcome Severus into the Roman palace, so that Severus was crowned as the Roman emperor.
But it was also because he was too ruthless in killing, and after Severus ascended the throne of the emperor, in order to balance the senate and the aristocratic forces of the empire, he had to hide him.
Now, when Severus is facing the dilemma of life and death, when the empire is about to fall under the iron hooves of the devil, he is once again released by Severus, like a beast out of the cage, he is very bloodthirsty.
"Kent, what do you think" William looked indifferently at the last general beside him.
This was the chief general of the Thracian legion, the consul.
His name is Kent.
Not only a Thracian, but also the younger brother of Benedia, the governor of the Thracian province.
Although the defense of the camp on the opposite side is a little sparse, but" the calmest is Kent, who carefully observed the camp tent on the opposite bank before he spoke: "I feel that their deployment is very interesting, although it does not look tight, but the front and back echo is very smooth, maybe the attack is not ideal." ” "Demons are not as easy to deal with as you think" William's eyes were deep, and his fists were clenched: "I have been fighting for the empire all my life, and I have never regretted any decision on the battlefield, but I regret it now, I regret that I despised these demons from the far east, so I will fail, defeated, defeated the glory of Augustus' legions, and defeated the strength of the empire, from that moment on, I told myself that when dealing with demons, you must show the most cautious attitude, be careful, be careful, be careful, and be careful, they are the most difficult enemies of the empire for hundreds of years" He does not hide his failures, because only by admitting them can he stand up.
As a commander with a strong heart, William is not a person who can't afford to lose, he has lost the glory of Augustus for hundreds of years, and he is about to get it back from the demon, so he is excited quickly.
"Look at the other side, the connection of the camps seems to be a loophole in front of you, but in front of me, it is a trap, if we attack at this time, we will fall into a quagmire, and then let the demon army encircle and suppress, and finally the whole army will be annihilated" William pointed ahead: "There are countless wise men in the demon army, you must keep in mind that any obvious loopholes are an illusion created by them."
"If you look closely, the layout of these camps is indeed like a big net" "It's good that General William is cautious" Antonio and Gregor were both generals who followed Severus to quell the civil strife in Rome, although they were a little anxious to make a meritorious attack, but they did not lack the manager's eyesight, so that William reminded them, they were suddenly shocked into a cold sweat.
On the plain on the other side of the river, it seems that there is no dangerous terrain defense, and the Wu army camps are not in formation, but if you look closely, they will find that these camps are built like their own big nets, as long as they are put away, the soldiers and horses attacking will be like fish in the net.
"I am willing to sacrifice for the Empire, but this is not the time, our mission is not to attack at this time" William's face was pious, and his voice was low: "Your Majesty kept my life as a defeated general in the hope that I could bring hope to the Empire, and at the same time, I also hope that you can remember that you carry the last hope of the Empire on your back." ” "We are willing to respect General William's order as God's command, and ask General William to give the order."
The three main generals saluted respectfully.
"Pass my order, the three major armies immediately retreat north, three hundred miles to the north" William breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that these three generals had initially agreed with his commanding position, he began to order: "Exit the province of Pannonia, enter the desert of northern Xinjiang, we must not show a trace, this will be a matter of life and death for the empire" It's too dangerous here.
William knew that Wu's scouts were very sensitive, even if they had a geographical advantage and could hide with their familiarity with the terrain, but if there was an accident, it would be wasted.
He knew very well that Severus had already gambled the fate of the empire.
If this battle cannot be won, then they will all go to God, and even the Roman Empire, which has dominated the land for hundreds of years, will be destroyed.
So he had to be careful, careful, more careful.
There can't be a slight mistake.
The mission of this force is to close the door and fight the dog, and if you want to close the door and fight the dog, you must wait until the dog enters before you can close the door.

"Obedience" The three lords glanced at each other, spoke one after another, and obeyed the order.
That night, the main forces of the three Roman legions, which were hidden on the north bank of the Danube, were reduced to pieces, and with the help of the locals, they quietly withdrew north.
The capital of the Roman Empire, the city of Rome.
"The Devil Strikes In" "What to do" "I heard that the devil is going to slaughter the city" "Your Majesty is dead, and the Empire's first military genius, Pope St.
Olvili, has returned to the arms of God, who can save our Empire" "It's all to blame on the old guys in the Senate, if it weren't for their internal strife, how could they let the demons drive straight in" “” By this time, the city of Rome was in chaos.
When Robert, the head of the Senate, received the news that the main force of the Wu army had invaded Pannonia, he knew that he could no longer control this huge ship of the Roman Empire.
The emaciated Olson Robert finally collapsed and fell ill.
This made the city of Rome even more chaotic.
At this moment, the Capitoline Hills in the city are very quiet, winter goes to spring, everything grows, the fresh air, the green and quiet, like a fairy tale world.
Chacks, the Knights Templar's general, approached a castle surrounded by beautiful scenery.
"Your Majesty, Chaks, meet His Majesty the Honourable Severus" The titan Chacks fell to his knees in front of Severus's bed.
"Believers from God, get up" Severus was in a much better mood today, he sat up, a smile appeared on his pale face, and he raised his hand slightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Chucks' burly body stood up.
"Are you resenting me" Severus's kind voice didn't have much of a fierce imperial momentum, he said very slowly and softly: "If it weren't for my insistence on fighting once and starting an imperial holy war, maybe Orvili would still be alive and well, he was so smart, as if God's wisdom had been given to him, how could he not survive" This battle was the hope of the Roman Empire.
So this battle is known as the holy war of the empire.
"His Holiness the Pope is not a faithful believer in God, he believes in the Empire more" Chacks said calmly: "Everything he does is for the hope of the Empire, for the Empire to have a tomorrow, I believe in his decision, and obey his orders" The Templars' responsibility was supposed to protect Olvili, but the Templars abandoned Olvelly for the sake of the Empire.
But Chucks is not guilty and ashamed.
He was faithfully carrying out Olvili's decision.
"How's it going in the city?"
Severus sighed and changed the subject.
"When the news came that the demon army had invaded the province of Pannonia, the city of Rome had lost its former vigor, the city was in chaos, and many of the people began to flee, they were afraid that the demons would enter the city and slaughter it," said Chucks.
"What about Robert?"
"He's sick and can't afford to be sick" "This old guy was originally a good talent, he contributed a lot to the stability of the empire at the beginning, but his heart was too big, but he didn't have the ability to control the empire, so he couldn't bear it after all" Severus sneered.
"Your Majesty, the demon's army has been killed, and we should also straighten out the Italian soldiers" Chax whispered, "Caracalla's Iron Legion and Albaynus' Guards are still being consumed, and the Apollo Legion of Gaita is already approaching the city of Rome, and he wants to be crowned Emperor, and the Knights Templar can capture them all if he has to give an order."
"Let them make a little more noise" Severus shook his head: "The more critical moments like this, the more we have to sink out, only in this way can we let the demons obediently enter the trap we have set, the demons have infiltrated the empire everywhere over the years, I have to be careful, at this time, we will give up all our efforts" "But I'm afraid it's too late" Chucks' face was solemn: "The main force of the devil is coming too fast" "Wait" Severus said resolutely: "Only when the main force of the demon enters the province of Norlik can we close the net" The province of Nolik is located in the western part of the province of Pannonia on the northeastern border of Italy, which is a buffer zone from the east of the empire to the center of the empire.
Once the Wu army enters Nolik, it will be difficult to get out again.
He arranged a whole 500,000 main force in Pannonia just to block the road.
"Obey Your Majesty's Commands" Although Chucks was a little unwilling, he still obeyed the order.
"There's one thing you can do" Severus said suddenly, "Get rid of Alberinus, he's too much of an eyesore" "And then" Chax asked.
"Let Geeta and Caracalla fight" Severus got up from the bed, straightened up his wide robe, his originally strong body was already a little hunched, and a pair of cloudy eyes flashed with a sharp light: "God has always called me, I am insisting, but I am just an ordinary person after all, God's call, I can't hide from it, I hope that after this battle, there will be a suitable heir who can lead the empire tomorrow" "But this will make both the Apollo Legion and the Predator Legion lose" Chucks frowned: "At such a juncture, the Holy War of the Empire is even more important" "I never pinned my hopes on them, and when they abandoned Antioch and returned to the provinces of Italy with their army, I knew that they never cared about the safety of the Empire, they only cared about their own power" Severus sneered: "Now that the Crusader Legion and the Parthian Legion have returned, Dio is a trustworthy general, the Parthian Legion has fully let the Templar Knights command, this will also be a legion that can fight, and the Gallic Legion and the Guards Legion are the main forces in this battle, there are four legions, plus me raise my arms, even if they are disabled, this battle, I still have the ability to fight, but if there is no successor, even if the Holy War is won, how long can the empire support" His days were numbered.
This will be his last battle.
He needed an heir.
The empire also needs a future helmsman.
"I see" Chucks felt Severus's decision, no objection, and nodded: "I'll let them fight" "Before the Holy War starts, the person who can enter the city of Rome to be crowned will be my heir to Severus" Severus said indifferently: "Chaks, remember my words, maybe one day in the future, you can use it" "Obey orders" Chucks' eyes widened, and he shuddered before he calmed down.
"Holy war is coming" Severus confessed the matter, and his whole mind was thrown into the battle that was about to change the fate of the Roman Empire: "Zhongmou Sun, the Demon Emperor from the East, come, come here, I am waiting for you here, this will be the tomb where you are buried" t1706231537:
