Old Sword Master

Chapter 400 48

The Kaoka couple first went to a very secret yard, but the scheduled meeting did not arrive, so Kaoka was a little nervous.

This is like a sign of betrayal.

Although it was early in the morning, the rather hot weather made him even hotter.

He didn’t dare to ask his wife what was going on, so he could only endure the troubles in his heart by himself, walking slowly back and forth in the small courtyard.

He has a lot of troubles.

The indemnity to the Romans last year has been paid in quality and quantity, but the personal gifts to the gentle elders of the Elder’s Council in Rome have not yet been prepared. This is also a big expense. Without these benefits, whether it is to pay the indemnity smoothly or avoid it The subsequent wars are impossible.

This is not easy compared to paying the indemnity in full. I often rely on my wife’s relationship. The mage of Madam Kaoka has a lot of people who study magic in Rome across the sea. Although they belong to two countries, When not at war, of course there are still some private exchanges. Not only are academic exchanges, but there are also many spellcasting materials and the trade of soothing items. Mrs. Kaokazu uploaded a craft of making pollen soothing agents. The effect is this time. The plane is considered top-notch, and can often produce batches that can be regarded as core tranquilizers.

The hatred of the country and the family cannot be forgotten, but one’s own mind has to be concerned.

Kaoka seized this opportunity to corrupt a considerable number of Roman mage veterans.

Of course, the Romans suffered a big defeat in the east, and things are a little easier to handle, otherwise, under the old Cato’s shouting and killing, everyone in Rome would have to increase the price.

So Kaoka is afraid of his wife, but it is also for the country. Those mages in Elder’s Council bought Ann Divine Flower powder at 10% of the market price. It must not be heard by Old Cato.

‘I am not afraid of my wife, for the country, for the nation, I will endure! ‘

But although Kaoka endured, Mrs. Kaoka was not satisfied with this low-profile guy.

“Don’t walk around, you are the consul of the Republic, what’s so nervous.” Mrs. Kaoka was actually upset after waiting so long.

“Yes, yes.” Kaoka knew that his wife was not unreasonable, but in a bad mood.

“Although Hannibal has some false reputations, it is not all trumpets. It is not you to promote his invincible reputation? Why are you afraid of him now?” Mrs. Kaoka actually promoted a lot of Hannibal at the beginning. At that time, when Hannibal won many battles in Rome, who didn’t want to get a little bit of heat? As long as Hannibal’s name was added, citizens would actively donate. Although the Carthaginians were not very active as soldiers, they donated Money is still willing.

Although the mercenaries and supplies that were exchanged for this money did not help Hannibal very effectively in the end, the Carthaginian elders were afraid that Hannibal would have won the demise of Rome.

Not only the Roman Republic was destroyed by the Nabaka family. Anyone could see that if they returned with 50000 elite soldiers, the Carthage Republic physique should come to an end.

But most of the resources raised were indeed invested in the war with Rome, and most of these were wiped out on the Spanish battlefield by Scipia.

The Carthaginians were able to kill Father and Uncle in Scipio, thanks to the large amount of supplies sent from the mainland. On the one hand, they organized soldiers and bought the local Iberian tribes. This almost locked the situation in the Spanish battlefield. The resources that Great Scipia brought last time were actually far less than what his parents had, except for himself.

“I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid.” Kaoka said ignorantly, “Why should I be afraid of Hannibal?”

“Why are you not afraid?! You are a complete trash than Hannibal!” Mrs. Kaoka is dissatisfied with her husband. “This time he has colluded with Antioch III again and wants to spread Greek Evil God, why are you not afraid of destroying our culture?!”

“What?” Kaoka isn’t a fool either, and he has long felt that the atmosphere of the Double God Festival is not right.

“…” The “Shadow of Carthage” Jiska, who was hiding under the flower bed, heard his heart tightly. The Kaoka couple knew this but the situation was bad.

But how come they dare to walk right into a trap in Utica City?

“Utica Budenis, a lowly maid, also hooked up with them to believe in Evil God, and wanted to kill us on the spot and sacrifice to Evil God, and then abandon the two gods of Carthage!” Mrs. Kaoka said in an evil voice. Halfway through, it was interrupted by another lady.

“What are you doing lowly maid talk nonsense!” Another secret meeting finally came, “When did I believe in the Greek Evil God?!”

The lady who wore a gorgeous running out took an entourage.

“?!” (yin yīn) “Shadow of Carthage” Jiska almost called out a voice in the shadow. Is this voice her?

No, impossible is that person.

Although they still seem to be in conflict, but…

The “Shadow of Carthage” is determined to move his position slightly. He has to hear exactly what is going on. Over 1000 Hannibal supporters are from all over the Carthage Republic in the name of celebrating with the consul. When I came to Utica, not only the veterans Hannibal had brought, but also the set up Sect of the hero who didn’t show his attitude, but silently supported the hero.

Everyone has a balance in their hearts. Although Hannibal lost once in the end, his capital is much smaller than the conservative forces in the Elder’s Council, but the damage he caused to the Romans is more than Carthage’s Elder’s Council. Ten times, these guys refused to take risks, refused to send reinforcements, repeatedly delayed and withheld the support of Hannibal, and gave a lot of resources to several generals. Anyone with a fair stand would say that this failure was not Hanni at all. Pull’s fault.

In the past, Hannibal chose to retreat and set up Sect a lot when he didn’t need to show his attitude, but now Hannibal chose to come back and break with the original conservatives, so the set up Sect who barely managed to live was forced to do I chose. This force is very strong. Even in the Elder’s Council of Carthage, there are a lot of people who support Hannibal. Since Hannibal dared to come back, he must have found a way to deal with the Romans.

Of course, the conservatives in the Elder’s Council are still very powerful. Even if the Kaokas are killed this time, the follow-up will not be easy.

But Hannibal clearly has a chance.

The “purple” Lev’s intelligence network and Seleucid’s intelligence network are cooperating closely. Antiochus III was only concerned that Hannibal would cooperate with the storm followers in the country to threaten his power. For Hannibal in Carthage Of course, the event will be supported.

“Shadow of Carthage” Jiska also saw a Seleucid powerhouse a few days ago that was only famous and had never seen before. Together they cursed the Romans and then complimented each other.

The man said: “The Shadow of Carthage is powerful. If I team up with Wood-Lombard, I will have a chance. I will cover you and you will have a good chance to run away.”

This evaluation made him a little happy.

Because according to Lev of “purple”, Hannibal believed that neither of the two himself was Wood’s opponent, which made the “Shadow of Carthage” Giska a little uncomfortable. Hannibal was too uncomfortable to win over this Germanic barbaric. You’re welcome, how could someone be better than 2 Hannibal? !

Hearing that the leader of the Seleucid intelligence agency also commented on Wood, he felt a little better. Although it must have been in business, but in contrast, Hannibal did not overstate it.

Of course, Wood is strong!

The “Shadow of Carthage” slowly approached the place of the secret meeting.
