Chapter 6541 Lost, Completely Defeated

But it was too late. The Kushan Empire's regular army had decent organizational capabilities with Oswin, but the organization of the princely states had never improved. ??? ６???ｈù?.????ｍ ????

Even though Gujarat was a relatively special princely state, it was a little slow to take action when it received the news, so that when Ahmad began to organize people to harvest grain, a small number of locusts had already arrived at the edge of South Asia, and the locust plague had begun to spread.

The Roman Empire actually did not let a drop of rain fall in East Africa after receiving the news, but this amazing method can only be said to have curbed the number of locusts.

Because the first wave of locust plague was discovered too late, the scale of the second wave of locust plague, even after being curbed, reached an astonishing tens of billions, and because no rain fell in East Africa, these locusts basically experienced a cruel survival test, so that all those who survived were elites.

The hungry locusts easily killed the two vassal states of Rome in East Africa. The Kingdom of Kush and the Kingdom of Aksum were easily penetrated by the attack of tens of billions of hungry locusts.

At the same time, Virgilio and Vincenzo, who had arrived in the Eastern Border County as Roman senators, were meeting with the Duke of the Eastern Border County, Ganasis.

After all, everyone is not stupid. It is completely useless to rely on language to explain these days. The matter is so serious, and the indicators issued by the Roman Senate to the Eastern Province are so crazy. Ganasis, who has been hit twice, is also on his head. It is impossible for you to convince the other party with words, so be realistic and let Ganasis see what a locust plague is.

This is also the reason why Virgilio and Vincenzo flew back directly from Northern Europe and arrived in Ctesiphon. Compared with other methods, the two of them, as the legion commanders and camp commanders of the Tenth Knights Legion, have actually achieved courtesy before force in terms of identity and other aspects.

In other words, other people may not be able to do this. After all, in Ctesiphon, the new home of the Duke of the Eastern Border County, if the other party is unwilling to give this face, even if Su goes there in person, there is no way.

After Virgilio arrived, he was invited by Ganasis. The leader of the Tenth Knights came in person, and Ganasis still had to give some face. Although the other party was just a legion leader in terms of rank, they were at the same level in terms of the national level.

"Duke." Virgilio bowed lightly. Normally, he would just say hello casually, but this time it was not possible, he had to give face.

As soon as Ganasis saw this rhythm, he knew what these two people were doing.

"Don't bother to persuade me to accept it. The Senate has a problem with its brain. I really can't accept this kind of chaos. What the hell is 80% of the grain output? Don't they know that we also need seeds to grow crops? Is this a bad brain?" Ganasis set the tone first. No matter how much you talk about this, Ganasis will not agree. This confiscation is like slaughtering their eastern border counties like pigs!

"Some things are hard to explain, but although I came here to persuade the Duke, I want to take the Duke to East Africa. You will understand after you see it." Virgilio said helplessly. He knew that he couldn't persuade him. If he was on Ganasis' side, he would not accept it. Everyone is not a fool, okay? 80% of the grain output, how can I live?

Ganasis looked at Virgilio and didn't speak for a long time.

"Duke, there is really no need to do this. If we really want to cheat you, we don't need to use such a despicable method." Vincenzo said helplessly.

In Ctesiphon, if you want to capture Ganasis, you must send a large army. It is a joke to rely on a few people to capture Ganasis. But in East Africa, Ganasis, who has left his nest, can be captured by a team of imperial guardians even if he is protected.

Even more directly, thirty eagle flag legions surrounded him, and there was no need to talk about anything, just capture him alive.

"At this time, I must be responsible for the eastern border counties." Ganasis said very sincerely. As long as he stayed in Ctesiphon, he could resist the Roman emperor's punishment, but if he left here, he would be just an ordinary person. Once Ganasis was captured, other eastern nobles would have no way to resist the will of the Senate.

It can be said that Ganasis is not only for himself now, but also for all the nobles in the east. Resisting the chaotic orders of the Roman Senate is good for Ganasis. While uniting the eastern nobles in fact, he can also get a lot of favors.

"This is a big problem." Virgilio was in a headache. He could understand Ganasis's idea, but Ganasis had never been hit by a locust plague, and he couldn't imagine what a super locust plague would be like. He still understood the world with his previous thinking. The problem was that the world had changed now. If he didn't persuade Ganasis now, he would be doomed when the locust plague came later.

"Virgilio, it's rare that you are so willing to execute the orders of the Senate. You should know that the previous Tenth Knights dealt with the orders of the Senate as long as they could. In your generation, things have really changed." Ganasis changed the subject, not wanting to dwell on this matter.

"Forget it, I won't hide it from you. The Tenth Knights have withdrawn from Northern Europe, but because of the distance, it will take more than half a month to arrive here at full speed. Duke Ganasis, please give me some face. I don't want to make things that bad." Virgilio saw Ganasis change the subject and start talking about the commonalities between the two sides instead of discussing this. He showed his cards directly.

Virgilio and Vincenzo came to pass the imperial edict, which means that the situation is still under control, but if the Tenth Knights came to pass the order, you need to consider whether it can be decent.

"Is it necessary to do this?" Ganasis's face was livid. It was too much for the Tenth Knights to come and read the imperial edict in person.

"Yes." Vincenzo nodded, and at this time the Duke's guards present were already a little tense, but Virgilio was not panicked at all. The two of them were still directing the Tenth Knights to move forward. What came were just two clones of illusions.

"The situation is very serious, so Duke Ganasis, you can take your people to East Africa to see the situation, and then make plans. You can choose where to go. The locust plague has already broken out." Virgilio looked at Ganasis and warned again.

"Duke, don't think about keeping us. The Tenth Knight will come and enforce it next time." Vincenzo was the first to turn into light and then Virgilio bowed to Ganasis and disappeared. Ganasis's expression became very ugly.

Looking at the place where the two disappeared, Ganasis fell into a deep silence. After a long time, he exhaled and said to the guards beside him, "Notify Usnafaso to come over."

After Ganasis's deputy came over, Ganasis repeated what Virgilio said, and Usnafaso also felt it was very tricky.

"Duke, then should we go to East Africa to confirm it?" Usnafaso looked at Ganasis and asked. After all, if this kind of thing is to be seen, they have to go together.

Unlike other dukes' deputies, Usnafaso is considered half a duke, because Ganasis is not very good at commanding troops. He is proficient in strategy and tactics, but there are problems in the execution level. Usnafaso can correctly complete the strategy and tactics ordered by Ganasis. This is also the reason why Ganasis was able to suppress the Parthian Empire with only the eastern provinces. The two of them are also top players in the Roman Empire.

Of course, the shortcomings are also very clear. Without any one of them, the two are almost useless.

With Usnafaso, Ganasis and the commander of the large legion have no problem arm wrestling. This person has a similar development method to Yang Hu, both of them have no hands, and Usnafaso, without Ganasis, is just a legion commander, lacking strategic vision.

So without any of these two people, the eastern border counties cannot cope with the pressure of Rome, so when Usnafaso proposed whether to go to Africa to see what the situation is, he was talking about us.

Because if one of them is caught, it will be a situation where they are finished, so if they go, they should go together.

Ganasis seemed very conflicted at this moment. Although he did not want to fight against the will of the Roman Empire, his current strength was there, and the things the Roman Senate asked for this time were too outrageous, so he had enough reasons to refute them.

Originally, Ganasis meant to fight, and fight hard. After all, the Senate's requirements were not something that humans could accomplish. If their eastern border counties rebelled, there would be many people who would understand, and legions such as the Tenth Knight would definitely not intervene.

At that time, maybe he could rely on his own and Usnafaso's abilities, the fortified city of Ctesiphon, and the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to save the Senate's face.

As a result, the first person to come over was the Tenth Knight, who should have been a fun person in theory. This was completely different from what Ganasis expected, which was very embarrassing.

Seeing Ganasis's expression, Usnafaso had understood his intention and dragged him out. At this time, many nobles' private soldiers had gathered in Taisifeng, and the eastern nobles had successfully united. So when Usnafaso dragged Ganasis out, some nobles hurriedly saluted.

Soon Usnafaso organized a group of people, all of whom were great nobles in the eastern province, and then rushed to East Africa under the protection of more than a dozen internal qi out of the body.

How to say it, before more than a dozen internal qi out of the body killed East Africa, they met head-on with tens of billions of hungry locusts that had been unable to survive in East Africa and were diverted out.

The vast earth-gray clouds, with a little fishy and poisonous air, covered the sky from the horizon. When Ganasis saw this scene, he was dumbfounded. He had seen locusts and small locust plagues, but this kind of overwhelming situation, the sky was gray and yellow, was the first time he had seen it.

Look at the hammer, turn around and go back to harvest the immature grains of your own family. As for how much to hand over to the Roman Senate, we will talk about it later. Harvest first.

The overwhelming locusts really scared Ganasis, who had never seen a large locust plague!

Not only Ganasis, but also the Central Asian family were also frightened by the overwhelming super locusts. Even though the Central Asian family got the news in advance, when tens of billions of locusts successfully flew across the Red Sea and began to pass through Central Asia, the Central Asian family was also stunned.

The Anping Guo family, located in the heart of Central Asia, took certain precautions after receiving the news, but Guo Zhao had a huge gap in experience compared to other family heads. After all, she was not carefully selected by the Anping Guo family and trained according to the family head's education. She was just a wild person who relied on her talent to climb up. She had the ability, but there were some things that she had never experienced and no one explained to her, so she was not aware of them at all.

Guo Zhao carried out prevention and control in the normal way to prevent locusts, and then there were almost billions of locusts passing through their family's sealed country. The wooden closed food and grass on the ground were easily bitten by the super invincible enhanced locusts. In the end, let alone the food in the granary, the granary was also eaten by locusts.

"I'm going to fight you!" Guo Zhao frantically filled one crystal of heaven and earth essence after another into the super-large burning etching. The fire in the dark night attracted countless locusts to fly in this direction, and then the sudden burst of light and flames directly burned and charred a large number of locusts. After his ground granary was eaten up, the angry Guo Zhao directly mobilized the family defense system.

Compared with other families, they still have to consider using the so-called large-scale etching formation. After all, the energy reserve is limited, and the high-density energy crystals are so expensive that the rich families twitch their faces, but Anping Guo's family doesn't care. I have at least two hundred of these things in my strategic reserve warehouse. I want to fight hard!

Guo Zhao fought hard for three days and three nights, and then sat on the land that was flat without grass or even dirt, hugging his legs. The whole person was no different from Cinderella. He lost the fight. If Hafertan hadn't held Guo Zhao's legs, the high-energy crystals in the strategic reserve warehouse would have been emptied, and a total of about 100 million locusts were destroyed.

However, it was meaningless. Not even a single burnt locust corpse was left. They all became food for the new locust army. As for why they stopped, it was because the whole Anping Guo family's fiefdom had been eaten up. There was no grass left. No, not to mention grass, the soil had been cut off. After Guo Zhao's roasted locust buffet was over, the locust army did not come.

In short, they lost, and were completely defeated. A large-scale fiefdom was easily wiped out by a 10 billion locust army in a few days.

After observing the death of the Anping Guo family, other families around them gave up the fight. They could not win. They could not win at all.
