The Gulf of Corinth is located in the northeast of the city of Corinth, and is the connection point linking mainland Greece and the Peloponnese Peninsula. At the same time, it is the main navigation route leading to the Ionian Sea through the Saronikos and the Corinthian Gulf...

Because the power of the old aristocrats in the city of Rome was still not cleared, Zhou Ye did not intend to take away the Asia Minor army that was sent to Rome, but directly dispatched the remaining garrison army in the city of Ankira in Asia Minor, and took a boat all the way Across the Aegean Sea, assembled at the Gulf of Corinth.

Moreover, starting from the Gulf of Corinth to Alexandria in Egypt is much closer than starting from Rome, so... Zhou Ye put the army's assembly point here.

As for Zhou Ye's transfer of all the garrison troops in Ankila, isn't he afraid of the invasion of the Persian Empire...

That is the matter of the benevolent and the wise. In the final analysis, whether it is the Queen of Persia or the Roman Consul... Basically, they are Zhou Ye's people. He is really not afraid of fighting between the two sides...

At this time, in the port of Corinth Bay, the berths that were originally full of merchant ships were no longer visible. Instead, there were large galleys with the logo of the legion.

In the port, there are Roman soldiers wearing standard armor everywhere...

They gathered together in groups of three or four to chat, or drank fine wine directly in the tavern at the port.

After completing the assembly, it was their rare vacation... Of course they had a reason to enjoy it.

At this time, the owner of the Collins Bay Tavern is in pain and happiness...

In just three days, he has already gone to Corinth City to buy goods seven times... The speed of wine sales is many times faster than usual.

While counting the money, the hand is cramping, and the tavern owner is also worried about the future of business.

After all, this is a civilian port, and a large number of military ships occupy the berths here, making it impossible for merchant ships to dock here, which will inevitably have a certain impact on future business.

Although the large number of legionnaires made his business several times better than usual, this is a one-shot deal after all. After the military ships leave in the future, there will definitely be a period of depression...

However, if you know what you know, there is nothing the tavern owner can do to prevent the military ship from docking? He doesn't have this right... So, he decided to temporarily put aside the depression that will happen in the future, and seize the opportunity in front of him to make a good fortune is the kingly way.

Thinking of this, the tavern owner looked at the empty small wine cellar under his counter, and shouted loudly: "Press...Press, you lazy bastard, go to the warehouse and bring over some wine...I didn't see Is there no more wine here??"

Following his loud shouts, a tall and sturdy figure came over and said honestly: "Okay master, I'm going now!!"

"Go, go!!" The tavern owner waved his hand... motioning him to move the wine quickly.

This Thracian named Press was the tavernkeeper's slave, whom he bought for twenty-three silver dinars...

Don't think that ancient Rome is really desecrated under the name of the Republic. There are still slaves here, and there are still a lot of them. When there is a war, the happiest thing is the slave trader...

Just when the tavern owner was thinking that such a happy day could last for a few more days...

A long sound of horns spread throughout the port...

With the sound of the horn, the soldiers who had been drinking happily in the tavern quickly stood up from their seats one by one as if they had heard the order, and they walked out without saying a word, with smiles on their faces. An indescribable frenzy.

"Drink money... haven't you given the drink money yet??" Seeing this situation, the tavern owner shouted loudly.

"Here's your drink money!!" A Roman soldier dressed as an officer walked up to the tavern owner, took out five guores from his pocket, and threw them on the counter... "Are these enough?"

"Enough, enough... My lord, your generosity is really admirable!!" Seeing these cute little golden things, the tavern owner's face was filled with a smile... These Jinorei are enough to equal He's had a turnover for a few days.

The Roman officer didn't pay attention to the flattery of the tavern owner, but turned his face and rushed out quickly... ran towards the port avenue...

That anxious look stunned the tavern owner...

The tavern owner was very curious about what made the soldiers so excited... You know, he had served in the military before, and he was no stranger to this kind of army rallying horn.

In his cognition, if the rallying horn was sounded when the soldiers were having fun, although the soldiers would not disobey the military order, they would definitely not act so quickly, after all, the leisure time was interrupted. People are not in a good mood.

At that time, it was normal for legionnaires to assemble while cursing... The tavern owner had never seen such a frenzied rushing out.

The behavior of the legionnaires aroused the curiosity of the boss, anyway, the tavern was already empty at this time... He simply followed the soldiers out, wanting to see what made them so fanatical.

When he walked out of his tavern, he was stunned by the scene in front of him...

I saw tens of thousands of soldiers standing on both sides of the avenue leading directly to the pier, watching with fanaticism a black carriage that had just entered the port.

The carriage looks so luxurious, even the four horses pulling the carriage look so tall.

As the carriage drove into the port avenue, the Roman soldiers standing on both sides of the road knelt down one by one with fanaticism and shouted in unison—【Praise you, Your Majesty, may your glory shine on us forever! 】

Seeing this kind of power, the tavern owner was taken aback. He couldn't help but said to himself, "This is... is the consul of Rome coming??"

Facing his self-talk, none of the soldiers kneeling in front of him responded to him, they just watched the carriage parked on the pier with fanaticism...

As the carriage stopped, a handsome boy in strange black clothes stepped out of the carriage...

Although the tavern owner felt that the boy's clothes looked so strange, it didn't look like the white robes that Romans usually like to wear, but—he had to admit that this black suit looked really majestic...

The moment the handsome young man stepped off the carriage, all the Roman soldiers went wild... They shouted again in unison: "All glory to you, Your Majesty!"

Facing the enthusiasm of the soldiers, Zhou Ye, who got off the carriage, had to stop his figure for a while, then stood on the step of the carriage, and said with a smile: "Bless you, my warriors, now... Let us spread the glory to Egypt, so that the people of Egypt can also bathe in my glory!"

"Your will is our mission, Your Majesty!!" XN
