Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

Ye asked the Black Tower: If he were to simulate this universe, where would he end up?

And Black Tower? He also said that because Night itself is connected to the real universe, there is a 99% chance that he will descend in Rome in an unknown era, with a 50% chance of it being in the past and a 50% chance of it being in the future.

Ninety-nine percent - rounding up, that's ten percent.

Half past and half future? Ye suddenly thought of something. Lucius Julius Caesar had asked him to submit a reform plan before, and then he would consider whether to persuade the Senate to amend the citizen law.

Originally, Ye was planning to put together a few sentences based on some brief descriptions from his memory.

Anyway, Lucius Caesar in the original history would have come up with the Julius Citizenship Law sooner or later. All he had to do was very simple...

Just give Lucius Caesar some inspiration and he should be able to do the rest.

But now it seems that there may be a better option.

Let's take a gamble and see if this simulation will reach Rome's future universe.

If it really is the future Rome, wouldn't it be better to just copy the ready-made "Julius Citizenship Law"?

The damage of this answer to Lucius Caesar is probably more terrifying than the words he used to deceive Hector.

I have made a decision in my heart——

Ye withdrew from the consciousness space, and then dismissed the two slave sisters Ella and Amy in the outside world. Amid the sisters' lost and unwilling gazes, he finally returned to his luxurious room alone to rest.

It can be seen that the pair of sisters have now truly opened their hearts to their master Ye. Not only do they want to open their hearts, they also want to open their legs and step onto a new stage in life to become truly mature and charming big sisters.

Not being able to sleep with the emperor made them feel relieved but also a little disappointed.

On the other side, wait until late at night.

Ye lay down on the bed - and began his second simulation of the universe.

"Black Tower? Let's get started!"

Black Tower? : "Understood..."

Then Black Tower? selected the 'Roman Universe' and helped Ye open a new shuttle channel.

When the night steps in-

The next moment, a familiar feeling of darkness came over me.

My consciousness suddenly fell silent, and when the light came back in front of my eyes, I had already arrived in another world.

The first thing that comes into view is a sky that is illuminated to look like crimson red.

At the same time, I seemed to smell the smell of gunpowder in my nose, which was like sparks that seemed to burn everything.

It’s that familiar feeling again!

Ye's originally relaxed body immediately entered a state of alert combat.

He felt it, it was the breath of war!

Chapter 67 Maybe, possibly, reinforcements can also fly over from the sky?

A stream of information poured into his mind, and Ye already understood his identity in the simulated universe at this moment—

After the Third Punic War, the Spanish War followed.

With the power of destroying Carthage, Rome established its new dominant position in this area, but did not scare the surrounding small countries.

Rebellions broke out in many lands originally ruled and colonized by Rome.

The Spanish War this time was the largest rebellion force, and the previous owner of this land was Carthage, which was destroyed not long ago.

The Senate sent a Roman army to eliminate this force, but the battle did not go well.

At this time, Ye's identity was a civilian soldier in the Roman army.

However, their troops encountered an enemy ambush while marching and have now been completely defeated.

Looking at the battlefield, there were shouts of killing everywhere. The enemy troops were numerous and the scene was very chaotic.

A Spanish rebel suddenly attacked Xiang Ye from behind...

Ye reacted quickly, dodged, and swung his sword to cut off the opponent's head.

At first glance, it seemed as if the other party was personally offering his head to be chopped off.

"We have to leave here..."

Ye quickly judged that the situation was unfavorable, and combined with the partial Roman history he knew, he judged the current situation.

In this Spanish rebellion war, Rome suffered a crushing defeat, and even the commander was captured by the enemy. It had to redeem its soldiers with large amounts of supplies and equipment before it could escape back to Rome in embarrassment.

Although it is not known when the Spanish War began to collapse completely, a cursory glance at the battlefield showed that barely one in ten Roman soldiers remained.

In this situation, even with Ye's current strength and body of steel, he wouldn't dare to lead this group of people to make a comeback.

Even if he could kill ten, fifty, or a hundred soldiers, his physical strength would eventually run out.

Unexpectedly, I didn’t go to the future, but instead came to Rome’s past.

No time for Ye to think more——

Judging that this battle was most likely unwinnable, Ye, who had no sense of belonging to Rome at all, chose to escape immediately!

Now that he's here, he doesn't want to die in the simulated universe so soon.

Unable to even judge the terrain or current position, Ye could only rely on his sense and the direction with the least enemy soldiers within his sight to fight forward.

Along the way, Ye ran and killed the enemy troops who blocked his way, and even took an enemy's spear in the middle.

After changing to a spear, Ye's combat power became even stronger, coupled with the speed inherited from the Achilles template...

Soon Ye left the center of the battlefield, and the pursuers behind him did not catch up with him. He was just an ordinary soldier, and no one cared much about his life or death.

"Help, help me!" At this time, on the outskirts of the battlefield, a Roman soldier was surrounded by three Spanish rebels and felt desperate. When he saw the attire of Ye's colleagues, he immediately asked for help with joy.

The enemy also looked over and found Ye dressed as a Roman soldier. Without thinking, they were ready to kill him as well. However, Ye threw a gun at them and blew their heads off. Then, he chopped off the heads of the other two Spanish rebels with his sword.

...Ignoring the thanks from the rescued soldier, Ye continued to move forward.

After that, Ye continued to move forward, killing enemies along the way and saving many of his colleagues.

When I finally got out of the battlefield, I looked back unconsciously and found that a large group of people had gathered behind me.

They were all soldiers he had rescued on the battlefield before, a total of 43 people.

[He was born on the battlefield of the Spanish War just after he was born.

As a Roman soldier, you saw that the total defeat in the war was unstoppable and chose to escape.

You saved many people along the way.

Because of your strength, many people are attracted to follow your footsteps consciously.

Because of the loss on the Spanish battlefield, the commander-in-chief of the battlefield had been killed by the enemy, and the Roman soldiers were leaderless.

Many smart soldiers chose to flee when more than half of them were killed or wounded.

These fleeing soldiers did not choose to return to the battlefield, but hoped that you could take them away from here completely.

Because of the great strength you have demonstrated, the soldiers are in awe of you and are willing to serve you as their leader and listen to your wisdom for a while.

On an unnamed hill, looking at the 43 people he rescued and after understanding their thoughts, Ye decisively accepted them.

43 people are not a large number and will not attract much attention from the Spanish rebels, but their strength is not weak either.

If you encounter an enemy, it can also help you share the pressure on the battlefield.

"Let me be frank with you. I can take you away, but you need to obey my orders absolutely.

If you can't do it, leave now alone.

Otherwise, at the critical moment, I will chop off your heads without hesitation!" Ye said in a cold voice.

These deserters had little loyalty, and even domestic slave warriors were more trustworthy than them.

At least under Ye's system, those slaves would fight madly until their last drop of blood even for their own descendants, so they were much more trustworthy than these soldiers.

He didn't care whether these people were truly loyal, but if they were cunning, played tricks, and hindered him, he would not hesitate to pierce their hearts with a spear.

The soldiers looked at each other and finally nodded.

Many people also became more honest. They didn't want to die at the hands of their compatriots instead of at the hands of the enemy.

After that, the group continued to flee. Among the 43 people, there was someone who was familiar with the road. He analyzed their location and suggested that everyone flee to the nearest Ebro River.

Ebro River - located in northeastern Spain, it is the longest river in Spain with the largest flow and drainage area;

It was also the battlefield between Rome and Spain, and also the territorial boundary between Rome and Carthage in the past.

Now that their commander was dead and the majority of their forces were destroyed, a war of annihilation had taken place - a rout was inevitable.

As long as they could find reinforcements from the large Roman army near the Ebro River, they would no longer be considered deserters but survivors of the war.

Maybe there will be a chance to return to Rome in the future...

After some analysis, everyone agreed with this plan and began to move towards the Ebro River.

In this way, after fleeing for an unknown period of time, the group did not encounter any Spanish pursuers along the way, which made everyone feel relieved.

Seeing the target Ebro River right in front of them, the soldiers were overjoyed and thought they would be able to meet up with reinforcements soon.

A bad feeling rose in Ye's heart...

His five senses, along with the enhanced vitality, were far superior to those of ordinary people, and his field of vision was also wider than that of ordinary people. When he first looked out at the Ebro River at night, he did not see anything like a ship.

This made Ye's heart sink completely.

There was nothing in the distant horizon except blue sky, white clouds and a quiet and peaceful lake.

So what about the large Roman reinforcements that were reported in the intelligence?

Without boats, is it possible for the reinforcements to swim across the lake?

Or is there simply——no reinforcements? ! !

Chapter 68: First Meeting with Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus

When a crowd of people cheered and rushed to the Ebro River,

What we saw in the end was an endless peaceful river and lake, and everyone's voices suddenly stopped...

Until someone asked in a trembling voice: "Where are the reinforcements?"

"...!!!"

There were no reinforcements! After confirming this fact again and again, all the Roman soldiers exploded.

They were angry, they roared, they were desperate and panicked, and began to curse the reinforcements that should have arrived but did not show up on time. What was going on?

At this time, the desperate soldiers, without anyone noticing, one of the handsome young soldiers looked at the empty lake -

His face turned extremely pale, but he seemed to have suffered a blow far greater than anyone else. He was more haggard than anyone else, and kept muttering: "...They are crazy!"

"There really is no reinforcement coming!!"

Everyone was in despair. Some fell to their knees helplessly, some covered their faces and cried, and some simply laughed like crazy and lay on their backs on the ground.

Ye, who witnessed all of this, perhaps knew that the worst that could happen was that he would die in the simulated universe, so he remained calm and noticed the strangeness of the handsome young man.

The sun was setting and it was about to get dark.

The Roman soldiers, having lost hope, suddenly thought of the person who had led them to this dead end and had initially suggested fleeing in this direction.

Seeing that the time was running out, they were about to be completely reduced to deserters. Even if they were not killed by the Spanish rebels who caught up with them, they would be liquidated by Rome afterwards. They might be sold as slaves or even beheaded directly.

Blaming all this on the proposer, a group of people, led by a soldier who looked old and strong, suddenly walked towards the handsome young man whom Ye had noticed before with cold faces.

That’s right, that handsome young man was the one who suggested that everyone flee to the Ebro River.

A group of soldiers began to punch and kick the young man. The young man screamed in pain but did not dare to fight back. He just hugged his head and curled up on the ground.

"Okay, stop it!" Ye suddenly said.

Several soldiers subconsciously stopped their actions, then turned around with some dissatisfaction to see who stood up for the young man. When they turned around and saw Shi Ye, they swallowed back the dirty words that were about to come out of their mouths.

The old soldier who was the leader was full of anger. Although he was afraid of Ye's strength, his expression still became ferocious.
