Chapter 1006: 1006 Conquering Rome and Looting Beauties

Watching his most elite warriors fall wave after wave, Caesar’s heart bled. These were his most loyal soldiers!

But mercy is no good in war, and righteousness is no good in finances. He could only steel himself and order the charge to continue. The enemy’s crossbow bolts were surely running low. "They’re out of arrows! Charge!

Charge! Kill them! For Rome!"

"For Rome!"

Lu Ming sensed that the enemy’s morale, after a brief dip, suddenly surged again.

This was the first time he’d seen anything like it.

Morale has a huge impact on a soldier’s fighting spirit. High morale makes it difficult for them to collapse until the very end; low morale makes them easily break down.

As soon as the Roman archers in the rear entered firing range, the archers on the well curb began to draw their bows, using their height advantage to slaughter the archers in the back ranks!

Soldiers continuously carried arrows to the well curb, strapped them to baskets, and used pulleys to raise them, ensuring the archers on the curb wouldn’t lose their arrows and be unable to attack.

Unique gloves paired with thumb rings extended bow usage time, and the unique compound bow conserved energy, thus increasing combat time.

In this respect, the attention to detail in their equipment was far superior to that of Roman archers.

They were still using traditional bows and arrows, unmodified and unupgraded—they were currently useless.

Once the crossbow bolts and arrow rain subsided, Caesar led his men in.

He killed several soldiers, advancing triumphantly. Upon seeing Lu Ming on horseback, he beamed with excitement. He, Caesar, was destined to make a name for himself today!

Whew!

Lu Ming exhaled, then charged forward on horseback.

Caesar was now without any followers; they had all been intercepted and killed.

Cynical Caesar, seemingly oblivious to this, was consumed by thoughts of killing Lu Ming and turning the tide of battle.

The two cavalry units clashed, and the Xuanhua axe cleaved Caesar’s weapon.

The moment it struck him, it changed direction, transforming the slash into a slap.

Slapping him violently into the air, his bones felt as if they had shattered.

He coughed up blood in mid-air before crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust!

Caesar, unable to rise for a long time, was not dead, but only half-dead.

He was lifted up by his guards. The legendary Roman Caesar had been defeated!

With Caesar’s defeat, Lu Ming ordered the messengers to sound the horns, signaling the start of a counterattack.

The elite of Rome was nearly wiped out.

Then, let’s take Rome in one fell swoop, declaring Rome, one of the four great empires, defeated and enslaved!

A mournful wail echoed!

As the desolate horns sounded, the Qin army’s spirits soared. The divine healers could also cast spells, restoring the strength and life of the surrounding soldiers, allowing them to charge once more.

In an instant, the 100,000 Qin soldiers moved. Their heavy armor and the silent atmosphere were like the approaching reapers of death.

The Roman army on the front lines was already routed, unable to even hold back.

Some begged for the gates to be opened, others knelt and begged for mercy.

In this desperate situation, some even fought desperately, but all their efforts were in vain, leading only to certain death.

Grebo knew it was time to step forward. The Roman Republic’s most elite army had been defeated here!

There was no room for maneuver.

Once Rome was captured, counterattacks in the surrounding areas would be a problem. Their most pressing need was to break free from the rule of the Roman Senate!

"Gentlemen, the Qin army has arrived! Lay down your weapons and surrender!

These are the decisions of the Senate. They launched a surprise attack without Qin’s knowledge, and now they are nothing but defeated dogs!

If we surrender, His Majesty the Emperor of Qin will treat us well.

Do you still want to be trampled underfoot by the Senate?

Open the city gates and welcome the Qin army into the city!

From now on, you will no longer be bullied by the Senate!"

Grebo’s rhetoric was eloquent and varied, each line unique!

"Damn it!"

The senators were furious. As they looked at the slave owners around them, the slave owners looked back at them.

These slave owners were merely wealthy citizens. Citizens are citizens; they should accept rule, not want to be rulers!

"What do you want to do!"

Anthony roared, determined not to let these slave owners be swayed.

"Do you think he’ll let you go?!

Fools! This is a war of national annihilation and extermination!"

But at this point, a direct confrontation was impossible.

The army of over 300,000 had already suffered a crushing defeat here.

They could retire, and with Grebo’s propaganda and luring of the enemy, even Grebo, the legion commander, had surrendered.

What reason did they have to persist?

That night, Lu Ming successfully entered the Roman palace.

After entering the city, Grebo immediately found some of his former subordinates and ordered them to capture the beautiful women of Rome.

The entire city of Rome was gripped by panic at the prospect of foreign rule. Every household kept their doors tightly shut, afraid to open them for fear of the army entering or the looters.

In the palace, the palace maids who hadn’t had time to escape knelt tremblingly.

Lu Ming sat on the throne. The continuous battles had invigorated him, and thanks to his exceptional physique, he had endured. The soldiers, meanwhile, looted and plundered, taking the women to their camps to vent their frustrations on them one by one. After all, they were foreign women; there was nothing wrong with that.

Soon, Grebo brought back a large number of beautiful noblewomen.

Lu Ming was still studying the map of Rome.

With Rome captured, the expansion could temporarily halt. The priority was to secure the sea routes and await the arrival of land troops.

This would take at least one to two years, and if luck wasn’t on their side, three years.

Therefore, the immediate priority was rest, land reclamation, and military equipment maintenance—establishing a foothold before seeking further plans.

Grebo, bowing and scraping obsequiously, rubbed his hands together repeatedly. "Master, the beauties have been brought."

After a long wait, Lu Ming turned around, glanced at Grebo, and then looked at the women brought in.

Their quality was quite good, especially the first few—some were innocent, some proud, some alluring, and some defiant.
