Chapter 986: Discord
In the manor, Lu Yao accompanied Cleopatra VII to visit the ancient Roman-style garden, and the Black Widow followed absentmindedly behind, as if she had something on her mind and was not in the mood to play at all.
"Will you be disappointed?" Lu Yao stopped in front of a marble statue and smiled without looking back.
"Of course not." Cleopatra VII smiled and shook her head.
She is a smart woman, and from Lu Yao's series of actions on the Apennine Peninsula, she can see that Lu Yao is currently in a lot of trouble, and naturally knows what kind of position she should maintain now.
The conquest of the Roman Empire was refreshing and relieving, but it was by no means now. To be able to enter the center of the Roman Empire on an equal footing, she was already satisfied.
"Caesar is a hidden danger after all." Lu Yao smiled and nodded, seemingly casually spitting out a sentence.
Cleopatra VII's beautiful eyes lit up, and she immediately understood in seconds, and the little mustard in her heart immediately disappeared. She can afford to wait, and is willing to wait until the future when Lu Yao takes her to conquer the world.
"I ......"
As soon as Cleopatra VII said a word, Lu Yao suddenly raised his hand to stop her, and immediately after, a Roman soldier walked into the garden with Antony.
"We meet again, Anthony." Lu Yao laughed and stepped forward and gave Anthony a warm hug.
"I'm sorry to disturb you and the two noble and beautiful ladies, but as compensation, a generous gift will follow. Please don't refuse, just a little specialty of our Roman Empire. Anthony smiled gently.
"I don't need any gifts, I just want a little bit of personal space." Lu Yao laughed heartily and looked at Cleopatra VII affectionately.
Anthony smiled a little dryly, this manor was specially prepared by Caesar for Lu Yao and the three of them, surrounded by secret sentinels, layers of fortifications, and this manor was guarded so that even a fly could not fly in.
Of course, he knew Caesar's thoughts, and he knew that Caesar had not yet made up his mind whether Lu Yao and the others should be placed under house arrest. People are now protesting vaguely, and the thieves are embarrassed.
"We're friends, aren't we?" Anthony laughed and quickly resolved the embarrassment: "I will personally report to Caesar and prepare a quiet courtyard for you." ”
Lu Yao smiled and waved his hand and changed the topic: "Let's not talk about this for now, I want to know what Caesar wants to do now." I have shown enough sincerity, but unfortunately I have not seen his sincerity. It made me feel like I had been cheated. ”
"Uh...... The situation is somewhat complicated. Although Caesar was a dictator and the ruler of the Roman Empire, there was a slight contradiction with the Senate. Let's put it this way, Caesar was looking forward to an alliance with you, and with Egypt, but the senators of the Senate objected. Anthony had a helpless look on his face.
"You know what? In my country, the imperial power is supreme and no one is allowed to oppose it. Lu Yao smiled faintly.
Anthony's eyes lit up as he listened. The imperial power is supreme, what beautiful words, that country is really a paradise. In the blink of an eye, he saw Cleopatra VII next to him, and his heart was even more unsettled.
Egypt is also a country where the royal power is supreme.
Paralyzing, these two are a perfect match.
"It's a shame, it's our tradition." Anthony quietly expressed regret.
"Well, let's put your traditions aside for a moment. The current situation in the Roman Empire is also not optimistic. I've heard that several western provinces are already in jeopardy. Lu Yao smiled.
Antony's heart sank, there was nothing wrong with this, the strangers in the Iberian Peninsula in the west were quite noisy, and the dominance of the empire was almost non-existent, and the same was true on the Gaul side. As far as he knew, Caesar had more than one quarrel with the Senate about this.
And this was just one of them, the entire empire had been greatly weakened, and only nominal dominion was retained over the remote provinces, while foreign enemies such as the Parthian Empire were eyeing each other and could start a war at any time.
"The Empire has the power to ensure security within its borders." Anthony smiled, not letting go of it in the slightest.
"Maybe." Lu Yao shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "I don't know what those strangers used to persuade Caesar to send troops to Egypt, but I have to warn you." After a pause, he looked at Anthony deeply: "They have begun to unite, and I hope it is not against you." ”
Anthony's pupils shrank suddenly, and he could no longer maintain his composure. Whether it was him, Caesar, or even Octavian, they all believed that the Inhumans were an unstable factor and that the rise of the Inhumans needed to be curbed in time.
Once the Inhumans unite, the empire is in danger.
Thinking of this, Anthony couldn't afford it any longer, and hurriedly found an excuse to leave. This astonishing information had to be delivered to Caesar as soon as possible.
Seeing Anthony hurriedly walk away, the corners of Lu Yao's mouth slightly knocked on an imperceptible arc. It's an indisputable fact that America is going around in tandem, but the target is certainly not the Roman Empire, but what does it matter? As long as Caesar believed that the player's goal was the Roman Empire.
Cleopatra VII walked up to Lu Yao and whispered a very relieved smile: "I believe Caesar will not be able to sleep tonight." ”
Lu Yao smiled, raised his hand and patted it, and immediately a black-clothed ninja appeared, half-kneeling in front of him and waiting. He commanded in a low voice, "Arrange for everyone to move, so that Caesar and their so-called Senate know that the Inhumans are uniting with the intention of rebelling against the Empire." ”
The black-clothed ninja nodded indifferently, then hid his figure and went on a mission.
"You always surprise me." Cleopatra VII was in a good mood.
Lu Yao shook his head and smiled, if there was no ninja secretly following, how could he risk his life and run to Caesar's territory with Cleopatra and Black Widow. Even if Caesar wanted to put the three under house arrest, he had an army of ninjas to arrange a way out.
He and Black Widow are players, and if they hang up, they will hang up, but Cleopatra can't.
Ninjas who are proficient in ninjutsu are a special class of troops that combine infiltration, espionage, assassination, etc., and it was originally an excellent hole card in the Toei District, but unfortunately now it is served by him, and the two major schools of Iga and Koga have all become his people.
Such a good hole card, of course, you have to carry it with you.
The black widow, who had not said a word, walked over and looked at Lu Yao faintly: "I don't know if Caesar can fall asleep." But I know some people really have insomnia. ”
……
Some of the people in Black Widow's mouth do have insomnia.
The Xanadu Army captured the Vatican with a devastating force, and even killed three angels, and even Anubis, the Egyptian god of death, appeared, which made the Flame Baron and others anxious.
However, the misfortune did not go alone, and Lu Yao was invited by Caesar to go to the city of Rome, and within two days, there were rumors that Caesar was going to form an alliance with Lu Yao, which made them regret it so much.
If you knew this, you would have to stay in the city of Rome if you died, and even if you couldn't stop Caesar, you would at least have to do something to delay time.
This is not the worst of all, when they received an urgent report from the inside, saying that the Roman Empire had suddenly deployed troops in various provinces, and at the same time strengthened the defenses of the remote provinces, including the Iberian Peninsula, they were all confused.
What kind of magic did Nima's soul fade use, so that Caesar directly began to target the player group.
