118 Death of Caesar
The genuine magician has reached the point where he speaks out and is a real combat mage.
Ninety percent of the genuine magicians in the Roman Republic were concentrated in the Senate, but Augustus was tortured to death.
This is also the reason why the entire Apennine Peninsula's magician group was quickly suppressed.
It is already difficult to find a genuine magician on the Apennines.
Since the caster is majoring in mental power rather than physical body, his life span is no different from that of ordinary people. At most, because of his high social status, he eats well and sleeps soundly, he lives longer than the lower class civilians.
However, it is much more difficult for the caster to advance than the warrior.
It is even more difficult to advance without a warrior for a long time, resulting in the apprenticeship level among the casters becoming the mainstream, and the number of upwards has a cliff-like decline.
However, the apprentice-level caster is at most a magic pharmacist. With a special potion that only has timeliness, you cannot cast serious spells at all.
Only trainee casters have the conditions to cast, but they have to recite a long and complicated spell to communicate the free spell energy molecules in the air.
This makes it easy for trainee casters to be targeted to interrupt casting, thereby killing them.
Only by becoming a genuine spell caster, condensing spell runes in the sea of consciousness, and reaching the state of following the words and following the Dharma can one have practical combat capabilities.
Originally, the status of a magician in the Roman Republic was established by a genuine mage, and only a genuine mage could enter the Senate.
The classics also record the forbidden mantra casters, but that was all from ancient times. Now the world is moving towards the Dharma-Ending Age, and there has been no forbidden mantra casters for a long time.
Even the source stone ore veins have gradually become non-renewable resources, and the source force tide has not appeared for a long time.
Of course, the reason why humans are able to become masters of the Europa continent has a great relationship with the decline of magic civilization. Those who destroy the army alone disappear and cannot appear, so the human corps will naturally become the dominant force.
At the same time, the decline of individual extraordinary power has also made some countries pay more attention to the encouraging of most people.
In this regard, the Roman Republic, which was long dominated by the Senate, was undoubtedly left behind. The worship of extraordinary powers led to the Roman Republic's progress in military technology.
Even the rising star next door, the Frank Kingdom, is far inferior to that!
Less than a month after the founding of the Roman Empire, the magician, who had experienced a major blow and began to change his ideas, found a new cooperative agent, Caesar.
In fact, no one else can cooperate in Rome. The two big bosses who led the troops outside, Pompei was defeated and died, so naturally they had to choose Caesar.
Originally, Augustus wanted to win over Caesar, but unfortunately, Augustus's imperial system touched Caesar's bottom line.
If Caesar recognized the Roman Empire, his position and army would be deprived of it anytime and anywhere by the emperor Augustus!
This is something that Caesar cannot tolerate anyway!
After all, Caesar's army was not much weaker than Augustus.
After the Roman coup, Augustus's direct elite suffered heavy losses and it was not difficult to supplement personnel, but its combat effectiveness was naturally incomparable to the elite of the past veterans.
Coupled with the resignation of a large number of magicians, Caesar felt that he could also work hard towards the throne of the Roman emperor.
Of course, what you think and shouted cannot be consistent.
Caesar raised the banner of reviving the Roman Republic and summoned those "righteous men" who did not agree with the imperial system, and officially launched the opening ceremony of the Roman Civil War!
In the first battle, Caesar achieved a good start and opened the door to the Apennine Peninsula.
During this period, Caesar mixed the magician with the army.
Even though the magicians who defect to Caesar are basically apprenticeship and internship levels, there is a large army in front to protect them, the trainee mage has the opportunity to recite complicated spells, use mental power to communicate spell energy, and condense spell skills.
The mage group established by Caesar shone brightly on the battlefield and defeated the Augustus army without the mage group.
This made Augustus realize the power of the mage on the battlefield and immediately deepened the cooperation with the Roman Catholic Church.
So, the Roman Catholic Church sent a divine servant to participate in the war.
The god servants in the Roman Catholic Church have not suffered bloodbathing. There are dozens of genuine spell casters mixed in. The showdown between the god servants and the mage team quickly became a distinction.
Caesar, who was carrying the momentum of great victory, was stopped by the offensive!
This made Caesar realize that his mage was not as reliable as he thought.
In this way, the two sides formed a confrontation in the north of the Apennine Peninsula.
When the news of the Roman Civil War reached Xiao Yunyang's ears, Xiao Yunyang, who was busy digesting Dalmatia Province, suddenly felt a big pie falling from the sky.
After scout investigation, Xiao Yunyang soon obtained the exact information.
The Roman Republic has been renamed the Roman Empire, and the civil war has caused both sides to mobilize troops from all over the country. At this time, except for the northern theatre of the Apennine Peninsula, other Roman provinces are almost unprepared!
Just when Xiao Yunyang was planning to draw a corps to occupy the adjacent Roman province of Pannonia, he suddenly received Ezra.
The Frank Kingdom took advantage of the Roman civil war and sent troops to occupy Pannonia...
The Frank Kingdom is a behemoth that has risen in Western Europe in recent years. In addition to a wise king, Charles the Great.
Charles the Great fought in the east and west, and in less than ten years, the territory of the Frank Kingdom was expanded by more than ten times!
Originally, the Frank Kingdom was just a small country that was not as good as the Roman Republic, but now it has become a big country comparable to that of the Roman Republic.
Of course, the Roman Empire, which now split the civil war, is no longer comparable to the Frankish Kingdom.
The reason why Caesar did not attack desperately and chose to preserve his strength was that he was worried that his home was occupied by the Frank Kingdom.
However, Charles's strength and courage were not something that Caesar could estimate.
In the autumn of the 6th year of the Han Dynasty, Charles the Great took advantage of the confrontation between the two sides of the Roman Civil War and boldly assembled the main knight army of the Frank Kingdom, divided the troops into three groups, and invaded the Apennine Peninsula.
Charles the Great first collaborated with Augustus to destroy Caesar's troops on both sides.
Then he suddenly attacked Augustus' army on the battlefield, and the other two armies took the opportunity to cut off the retreat of Augustus' troops.
As a result, the main force of Augustus's troops, who had just won a great victory, was wiped out in less than three days!
Subsequently, the entire northern part of the Apennine Peninsula fell, and Emperor Charles reached the city of Rome!
However, the unparalleled Knights of Charles the Great encountered the city with a high and deep waters, but suffered heavy losses in the siege, giving Augustus a chance to breathe.
