Daqin: Qin Shihuang Visited The Stalls At the Start

"It's just that the army is too terrifying. Whether it is in terms of strength, combat effectiveness, or weapons, it is far from what we can compete with."

Hearing this, Antiochus III frowned slightly and asked, "Have you seen them?"

Arshak nodded slowly.

"At first, when Bactria was first attacked by that army, Theodore called me for help.

"He said that the army was extremely ferocious, its combat effectiveness was terrifying, and the number was hundreds of thousands. It even possessed a powerful weapon that could emit loud noises and flames."

"I thought he was just laying a trap for me, so I ignored it. After all, in my opinion at the time, the strongest army in the world was nothing but the army of Rome and Seleucid."

Antiochus III nodded slightly.

It's not just Arshaq who thinks so.

Even now, he still feels that the strongest army in the world is nothing more than Seleucus and Rome.

But even if they were, they were only tens of thousands of troops in battle.

Hundreds of thousands of troops?

How can you afford it.

This is also the reason why he still doesn't believe Arshak's words.

In the eyes of him, and even all the Greeks, after the Mauryan Dynasty in the east, it is a huge mountain that is unattainable.

And endless barren grasslands.

There should be no more powerful countries there.

Even if there is, it will never be able to cross the moat set by nature.

However, they never imagined that,

In the east, which they saw as a barren land, there was an ancient and mysterious kingdom of great power!

Here, Arshak continued to tell his story.

"It wasn't until the fugitives from Bactria poured into my Parthia that I realized that Theodotus might really be in trouble.35

"It's just that what I was thinking at the time was, let that guy Theodore fight them both, and we Parthia might be able to catch them all in one go."

"It's just...I never expected..."

Speaking of this, Arshak closed his eyes in pain.

Antiochus III frowned more and more deeply.

Although Arshak is old, but these decisions, if it is him Antiochus III, he will do the same.

But looking at Arshak like this, it seems that he is a little remorseful.

Is it possible...

"Just when I felt the time was right to lead the army to the Bactrian border in person, I saw the most unforgettable sight of my life."

In Arshak's absent-minded eyes, there was a faint flash of light.

"The tens of thousands of remaining Bactrian soldiers were constantly thrown out in the roar of loud noises and flames.

  … … 0

"The scorched corpses are everywhere."

"I could even see the despair on the soldiers' faces."

"And the other side's heavy cavalry, all wrapped in iron armor, fighting on horseback like walking on the ground..."

"If I hadn't seen something bad and quickly led the army back to the Parthian border, I might have been completely destroyed by that army."

¹6...99

There was silence in the conference hall.

Arshak was full of despair, while Antiochus III was gloomy.

After a long while, Antiochus III stared at Arshak, and asked in a deep voice, "What you said is not a lie?

"There is no lie." Arshak said slowly.

"For the time being, no matter what the loud noise and firelight are, just according to the number of the army you mentioned, it is not something that you Parthia and I, Seleucus, can't stop together.

"If that's the case, what are you doing with me again?" Antioch III asked coldly.

In the process, he kept staring at Arshak's eyes.

He hopes to find some clues of the conspiracy, so as to expose the lies of this cunning Arshak.

Because, once what Arshak said was true.

Then he, Seleucid, may really... a catastrophe is imminent! And.
