Sweep the World

Chapter 856: : Rome has its own national conditions

Seeing Li Bin's crossbow in hand, the gladiator who was still alive was filled with despair.

The appearance of the hand crossbow is really amazing, and it brings everyone more "surprise". It is a weapon that can be fired continuously by pulling the trigger. There is really only a short breathing time.

The launch speed is only one aspect, the more amazing is the power. Those gladiators who were shot to death have taught the surviving people a vivid lesson. The crossbow arrows fired by that thing have amazing armor-piercing effects, which is equivalent to wearing armor and not being safe.

The first gladiator lost his protective gear and weapons, followed by the second, third... until all the gladiators gave up their weapons and gave up.

Li Bin stood still and waited for a while before squatting down and picking up the previously abandoned crossbow. He glanced at the audience and started cruising, with a dagger in one hand and a crossbow in the other, using daggers to make up for the dead and surviving gladiators.

"The Serris... too cold-blooded and cruel."

"Such a fight is not exciting at all!"

"It's those gladiators who are incompetent, who are not afraid to rush forward, and can always pile up only one Seris!"

The Han army has long been accustomed to mending the knife on the battlefield, thinking in a benevolent direction. In the age of backward medical treatment, many injuries could not be saved at all, and it was to relieve the pain of the enemy's injuries.

More importantly, the Han army always scored merits at the first level. It is best if the enemy is intact, and minor injuries that are insignificant are also okay. Obviously, it is of course that the head is cut off to record merits.

In this way, the Han army will never waste any existence that can be counted as credit.

Desperately able to reverse the disadvantages, fierce gladiators will basically choose to fight to the death on the multiple-choice question of how to die, so that they will be killed by their own masters instead of being killed by competitive opponents.

The key issue is that the gladiators are really imaginary. They were so shocked by the crossbow that their hearts were completely imaginary. They couldn't think of a way to deal with it in a short period of time. They didn't want to die unclearly, so they had to pin their hope of life on their masters. Reality can be kind once.

This time, like the last time, the audience did not give Li Bin cheers for the final victory.

What is different from the last time is that the audience no longer makes ridicule.

Constantius II twitched his cheeks as he watched Li Bin pick up the originally discarded crossbow, and watched Li Bin continue to make up the sword and reclaim the crossbow arrows that he fired on the field.

"We don't know Seres at all." Constantius II took a deep breath: "The letter sent by Cicero mentioned another weapon of the Serris, called gunpowder?"

As an envoy to Han, one of Cicero's important tasks is to see with his own eyes what kind of country Han is. As an envoy, there are many important tasks. The most important one is to understand the military strength of Han. This is also a necessary step for country-to-country exchanges. Only if you feel you can't afford it, can you exchange on an equal footing.

There is no word gunpowder in Roman dictionaries. Cicero can only write similar words in the Latin alphabet with Chinese pronunciation. The characters are Latin, and the pronunciation is the same as that of Han, and the pronunciation is the pronunciation of "fire powder" in Chinese.

The vast majority of Romans, including Constantius II, didn't believe that there were weapons that could make thunder in the world, let alone blast them into dust within tens of meters. Within the scope of their understanding, only gods have such means, and mortals can't do that kind of thing at all.

"Since the Serris can take out such a weapon..." Gallus believed that seeing is believing and hearing is not. He swallowed and said with difficulty: "We have already seen weapons that we can't understand, perhaps Cicero said. Is also true?"

Constantius II fell silent for a while, his opponent's crossbow peeping was still enthusiastic, but reason returned. He saw the use of hand crossbows, archery and other things are in an understandable range. Thinking of Cicero's description of gunpowder weapons, he had to think about what kind of revenge the Han Dynasty would get, if one day he sleeps. It's not fun to be turned into a fan by a loud noise.

"Abandon the method of obtaining that kind of weapon from abnormal means." Constantius II returned rationally, first overturning the previous decision, and then said to Julian: "The next personal battle, Cyris People don’t need to participate anymore."

The Romans made a series of arrangements, nothing more than trying to save face, but they were so shameless, they were so shameless, and they made a scene showing the majestic and majestic murder of the Han people, not only did not earn a profit. On the contrary, she stretched out her face and trampled on the soles of her shoes. It really couldn't continue to be ashamed.

Julian naturally went to negotiate with Wang Meng. As for the audience's reaction, he really couldn't control it.

"The Persians tried their best to please the Seres, and Shapur II even collected beauties and gave them to the emperor Serris." Helena's fighting spirit was burning: "The Persians know the Seres better than we do!"

The Romans used to laugh at the Persian’s unlimited kneeling and licking of the Han. Now they have been associated with countless associations by the appearance of the crossbow, and they pay particular attention to the information returned by Cicero. Those absurd descriptions become instantaneous. In reality, I subconsciously feel that the Persians have a reason to do that.

"A loud bang is tens of meters in the range of powder, that is the means of the gods!" Helena couldn't help but groaned excitedly, and then recovered her dignity: "We need to be grateful that Rome is far enough away from Seres. "

Except for Helena, who has never understood the situation, the others have a complex look. Whether they believe it or are still suspicious, they have indeed felt grateful.

"Oh." Wang Meng faced Julian with an embarrassed face, and said calmly, "If you don't participate, don't participate."

"I'm so sorry." Julian was really embarrassed, but he was not faceless to see people. After a series of apologies, he asked tentatively after the interview: "Will you use that kind of weapon in team battles?"

Wang Meng made a slightly surprised expression, and replied with a normal expression and tone: "Are there any new restrictions on Da Qin's side?"

Julian understood that Wang Meng was mocking with a normal response.

There are rules in Roman athletics, but there are no restrictions on what weapons to use. Anyone participating in the athletics can kill the opponent, no matter whether it uses weapons or teeth.

"The Serris is tall and shows the physique of a warrior." Julian can swear that he is not hypocritically complimenting. Whether facing the Romans or anyone else, the Hans really managed to crush from their height: "Rome It is a country that worships brave warriors. There have been more than one example of a gladiator becoming Augustus in our country."

The Han people present instantly understood that it was not that killing with a crossbow relied on black technology and did not show the brave side of the Han people. Although the Romans were shocked, they were quite unconvinced.

"If Daqin has new restrictions, we are willing to cooperate here." Wang Meng was here to establish diplomatic relations, but he was severely provoked by the 1st Governor and 1st Teacher. Those who should retaliate also retaliate, and the Roman authorities dug a hole. He gave the most direct response and returned to the theme of establishing diplomatic relations after the mockery: "Big guys have a long history of competitive ethics. We are naturally willing to give the greatest cooperation to the competition based on fairness and justice."

There was an inexplicable hot sensation on Julian's face, and he solemnly bowed before leaving.

Naturally, the personal battle continued, but Gallus, who was in charge of the announcement, announced to the audience that the Han people would no longer participate in the personal battle.

This time the audience gave the greatest understanding. They didn't want to see the scene of the Han people killing all over the field, so they had to watch the gladiator desperate for life.

Since the Han people did not participate, the individual battles were less targeted. The various masters of the gladiators still had transactions in private. For example, they must keep their trump cards. Cheers continued to reverberate in the sky.

Hosted by Julian, Augustus and many nobles joined in. The 22 rounds of individual battles on the first day consisted of only four rounds.

The individual battles were held for six consecutive days before each of them decided to win the final winners. In two of the rounds, the Hans stood at the end, and the Hans stopped participating in the individual battles. Two rounds were wiped out. The remaining 20 individual battle winners will follow. In the draw and then decide the opponent to fight.

After the last round of personal battles ended, it was already evening. Only a few Romans lived in the night. Most people went to bed early at night due to lack of lighting.

As the organizer, Julian will inevitably need a banquet at the end of the first phase of the personal battle. He invited the senior officials of the Chinese diplomatic group and all the nobles to his manor to continue the excitement.

Wang Meng originally wanted to use tiredness as an excuse to decline, but Julian said that Helena and many children of the nobles would participate, so Wang Meng would be sure to appreciate it.

Since the display of the crossbow, Wang Meng clearly noticed the change in Romans’ attitudes. He was surprised that the Romans could endure the prying. It was possible to perceive that the Romans who came into contact with each other were obviously or veiled to please.

One thing that surprised Wang Meng and others was that Peter's head was loaded into a box and sent to the manor. They originally thought it was done by a Roman noble who wanted to kneel and lick (not ruled out by Augustus), but subsequent developments show that it was done by the 1st Governor and 1st Governor himself.

At the same time, accompanied by a piece of Peter's head was delivered with a large box full of gold coins, and a letter of apology written by the archbishop with extremely humble words.

That was already five days ago. Wang Meng, who was about to decline again, happened to see Helena standing next to a lean old man with a kind-faced face, seeing that the old man’s clothes belonged to the Christian 1 Governor and 1 Church. There is no doubt that clergy, depending on the style of dress and the attitude of the surrounding people, the position is obviously not low.

Archbishop Donne's eyes met Wang Meng, showing a kind and fraternal expression, smiling and saluting Wang Meng from a distance.

Regardless of the aspect, the current Han people will never have a good impression of the "Lord" supreme Christianity 1 Governor and 1 religion. Any Han believes that the most supreme is the emperor, and any existence that advertises its supremacy status It's breaking the wrist with the emperor, and belongs to the object that needs to be destroyed.

The so-called "eating the king’s salary, bearing the king’s worries, and loyal to the king" is itself an important task of being an angel. From the bottom of his heart, Wang Meng dislikes Christianity and religion, but he knows one thing clearly and clearly, which is related to national interests. Don’t say it’s disgusting, even if you want to stab countless knives, you still have to smile if you can achieve some goals.

The Christianity 1 Governor 1 Religion is a huge existence in Rome, and its influence is not even lost to Augustus, the supreme ruler of Rome, and its influence among the people is even higher than that of Augustus.

In the eyes of Wang Meng and others, Rome is in a state where the two powers go hand in hand, imperial power and theocracy maintain a delicate balance. If there is no emotion, there are too many places to be manipulated.

"Archbishop Donne will also participate." Julian is the **** son of Christianity 1 Governor and 1 Church. According to the social relationship of the Romans, he is also the godson of Archbishop Donne. The relationship is like that, and the feelings are not important. , Strongly persuaded: "The Archbishop of Donne has taken great pressure and made a decision to rule on Peter. He has also used the identity of the archbishop to apologize in history. Archbishop Donne hopes to meet the angels face to face with infinite sincerity. Resolve some misunderstandings that shouldn't have occurred."

Wang Meng hesitated, then nodded, but said: "The envoy has never had the opportunity to contact Her Excellency Princess Helena. I hope that there will be more conversations this time~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Helena chose to be the marriage partner. Julian was more motivated than anyone else. He smiled sincerely when he heard the words, but after thinking of something, his cheek twitched, and he hesitated and said: "About asking Augustus to marry Helena I failed. "

Wang Meng looked at Julian in confusion.

"Augustus refused personally." Julian had something more difficult to say later: "Helena also refused fiercely, and almost killed me with a dagger."

Wang Meng continued to be puzzled, it seemed that it didn't matter to them.

"I believe you have your own understanding of Helena's past deeds..." Julian subconsciously looked at Helena, who was not far away with wide-eyed attention, and moved her body to change her position to prevent Helena from being able to learn from her. Her lips could tell what she was saying, but she forgot that Helena hadn’t learned a few words of Chinese even if she knew her lips: “We don’t think there is a big deal. It seems that it is not tolerated by your country.”

Wang Meng can only express his feelings at this moment with his endless "haha". He didn't come to Rome in vain. What adjectives really need to be used for the high-level society of Rome, and that is: your circle is really chaotic! u
