Crusader Kings: Prisoners of War

As a person, Pliny the Elder died a worthy death. He dedicated his life in the most valuable place, and his name is also remembered in history. There is nothing to say.

Orville's concern is not his death, but the impending "pompeii apocalypse."

Mount Vesuvius will erupt in 79 A.D. This is a determined future. It may be delayed or brought forward, but according to the standard conditions of this world, all major events in history will happen.

Knowing this in advance, the disaster can be contained to a large extent. The Romans suffered heavy losses in the volcanic eruption. An important reason is that Mount Vesuvius did not erupt for too long, so that the top of the mountain became lush. In the forest, people relaxed their vigilance and thought it was an extinct volcano. Some people even woke up from a dream when the volcano erupted, which led to tragedy.

With Orville's reminder, the situation should be better, and everyone will be prepared whether it is disaster prevention or disaster relief. Orville was not worried about disaster relief, but Tia who was holding his wrist affectionately next to him.

Titus had a good reputation in history, but he was a rather unlucky emperor.

He ascended the throne in June 79, and the volcano would erupt two months later. The first period of Titus's reign was busy with disaster relief.

In 80 years, another fire broke out in the city of Rome. The fire was out of control for a time, and Titus was busy fighting the disaster again.

After the fire and plague ravaged the mainland, another plague broke out in the Roman mainland where the wounds had not healed. Multiple blows caused heavy losses in the mainland. It was not until the following year that Titus died of disease.

Orville personally believed that he died of assassination, but it is indeed possible that he died of illness. After all, the plague is not something that can be said for sure. While Orville is paying attention to Domitia's condition, he should also pay attention to the natural and man-made disasters that will happen in the future.

The best prevention method is to prevent the fire of Rome from happening, and at the same time, to contain the impact of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, so as to reduce the risk of plague outbreak as much as possible. The appearance of Pliny the Elder reminded him that there is not much time left. If you want to change something, you'd better do it early, otherwise it will be too late.

…………

All the staff and generals learned about the arrangements made by the emperor, and they wisely did not choose to stay where they were as light bulbs. Without Orville saying anything, they consciously found various reasons to leave, and the rest The next two people and necessary guards stay.

Tiya let out a long sigh: "Huh~ It's finally over. Then I'll tell you the truth. You'd better not tell anyone else. In fact, I didn't need to stay here. I begged my father several times. Then he sent me here and allowed me to stay here for a while.

I know you may be very stressed out recently, so I came here to help you. If you have anything, you can leave it to me. You have to thank me this time. It took a lot of effort for me to convince those in the Senate. "

Tia looked quite proud. She took it for granted that Orville didn't know what she had done, so she felt more or less like taking credit.

Orville did not pour cold water on the other party, and continued: "Thank you very much, I am deeply touched. If necessary, I will ask for your help. I am also the host now, and I will do my best. I treat you as if you are here for a trip. You were in a hurry when you came to Egypt. In fact, there are many interesting things here. It is also a good choice to relax yourself. "

This is not to be polite to the other party. There is no part in Orville's plan to ask for help. He will naturally ask for help if necessary, but it seems that it is not necessary at the moment.

"No problem, I'll wait for you to speak. Please arrange a place for me in the Governor's Mansion. I estimate that I will stay for about seven or eight days."

Tiya also knew what his temper was like, so she didn't pay much attention to it. She just found an excuse to see him.

"No problem, but you may have to wait, because I sold the Governor's Mansion to Queen Cleopatra of the Egyptian royal family. After all, I am also a guest here now, and I can't just make the decision and let you live in directly. , although there is definitely nothing wrong with this matter and she will definitely agree to it, but after all, he is the owner of the Governor's Mansion now, so it is better to say hello. "

Orville and Cleopatra now live in the Governor's Palace, but there is a long distance between the rooms and they are not in the same courtyard.

He originally wanted to move out to avoid suspicion, but Cleopatra said that this would waste more precious manpower on guarding, and it would be better to only send people to guard the area near the Governor's Palace. Orville thought so and that was indeed the answer. However, he followed the other party's suggestion and continued to live in the Governor's Mansion.

Hearing the words "Cleopatra" and "Queen of Egypt", Tia turned her head alertly in an instant, subconsciously staring at Orville.

She asked aloud: "Does she live with you now?"

"We live far apart. It can only be said that we live in the same area."

Orville knew that it might be a little dangerous to say "yes" at this time, so he took a slight detour.

"So you still live together?" Tiya's eyes flashed with an ominous light.

"You can say that for the time being, but you also know that there is nothing wrong between me and her." Orville looked at the other party sincerely.

It turns out that Tiya is indeed a very easy person to deal with. She didn't even get upset with Orville. After looking at him seriously for a few times, Tiya chose to believe him.

"Okay, I'll believe you once. Anyway, find me a place to stay before sunset. Didn't you say that there are many places worth seeing in Egypt? When you have time, remember to show them to me."

After saying this, Tiya rode on her horse and prepared to go back to the barracks to check the situation of the army.

Watching her leave, Orville breathed a sigh of relief.

——

Putting aside personal social matters, Orville turned his attention back to the army.

According to the emperor's instructions, these soldiers under his command have been successfully converted to regular soldiers. In the future, they will be officially formed into the Sixteenth Legion of Rome. Orville can name them, and this name will be passed down to future generations.

According to historical circumstances, the Sixteenth Legion will be named "Firm", which is a new legion established by Vespa to supplement the army lost in the civil war. The situation is similar now, but the stationing has changed a bit. This legion will definitely be stationed in Egypt for some time in the future.
