"How is this possible? How could Karensa rebel?" a minister shook his head in disbelief.

Julia said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to discuss this issue! Instead, we need to come up with a solution! What do you think?"

Prime Minister Thomas analyzed: "Although Karenza is the governor of Assyrian, he cannot mobilize the local regular army. He only has 100,000 local security forces! Therefore, the problem is not serious! Just order the local regular army to control the key points of Assyrian, Karenza will not be able to play any tricks! We will use a strong force to quell the rebellion and will surely succeed in one battle!"

Julia nodded, "Just as the Prime Minister said! Schneider!~"

A heavy armored general standing on the left line made a promise. General Schneider was originally a general under Seth. Due to his outstanding military achievements, he was recently promoted to general. His position in the army is only under Seth and Yusuf.

"I will ask you to lead three guards and one Spartan army to Assyria to quell the rebellion!"

Schneider was stunned, "Your Majesty, our army has three legions in Assyria and 150,000 regular troops. There is no need to dispatch so many troops, and there is no need to dispatch Spartan elites!"

Julia shook her head and said, "It's not that simple! The Assyrian people have always been dissatisfied with the rule of our Roman Empire, so it is very likely that they will swarm with Karenza's rebellion! Therefore, we must be cautious! In addition, Karenza has secretly trained 100,000 rebels, and has also purchased 100,000 sets of armor and 200 cannons from the Qin merchants!"

Hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but talk.

"Your Majesty said so much! That should be!" Prime Minister Thomas agreed.

"General Schneider, do you have any other problems?" Julia asked.

Schneider shook his head, bowed to Julia, and retreated back to the line. At this moment, another commissar rushed to the hall.

Julia couldn't help frowning, and she subconsciously had a very bad premonition.

"Your Majesty, Assyrian emergency flying pigeon delivers a letter!" The messenger ordered the officers and soldiers to report, and at the same time presented a letter to Juliya.

Julia took the letter and opened it. She read it quickly, and immediately felt a dizzy turn. Julia held the handle of the throne with her right hand, and held the letter with her left hand trembling, with her beautiful eyes full of anger.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Prime Minister Thomas asked carefully.

Julia calmed down, glanced at the ministers in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "This is a bad news! All the 100,000 regular troops in Assyrian were killed by the traitor Karensa!!"

As soon as Julia said this, it was like throwing a huge rock into the calm lake. The ministers couldn't help but be upset, and many people shouted in disobedience: "How is it possible?!"

"Give me peace of mind!" Juliya shouted in a deep voice. The ministers were in a panic and they quickly calmed down.

Julia stood up and said proudly: "Although I, Julia, is a female, it took less than ten years to go from a prince to unifying Rome, and then expanded my territory. The power of my Roman Empire is far greater than that of the past! There are countless powerful enemies who fall in front of us! Although such a sad and angry thing has happened now, what is it for us?!"

When the ministers heard this, a sense of pride arose.

"Your Majesty, you just said that our 100,000 troops were wiped out, what about the other 50,000?" Prime Minister Thomas asked.

Zhu Liya said calmly: "It was they who set up an ambush on our 100,000 army!" The ministers understood when they heard this.

Julia said: "At present, Karenza has an army of 250,000 in his hands, and the entire Assyrian is under their control!"

Prime Minister Thomas suggested firmly: "Your Majesty, this problem must be solved quickly by thunder! Otherwise, the problem will be serious!"

Julia nodded, "I understand what you mean! Schneider!"

"His Majesty!"

"I hand over the First, Second, Third Guards, First, Second Spartans and Third Fourth Legion to you. Are you sure to quell the Assyrian rebellion in a short time?"

"No problem! The only one who really has some combat power in Assyria is the rebellious 24th Legion!" Schneider said with confidence.

"Very good! I will hand over these seven legions to you, and you can set off immediately!" "Yes!"

"Your Majesty, we have to consider another issue!" Prime Minister Thomas said suddenly.

"Oh? What's the problem?"

"Your Majesty, we must consider the Qin side's reaction!"

Julia frowned, "What the Prime Minister means is that Qin may interfere in our army's counter-insurgency operations?"

"Yes! Although we have not completely broken with Qin, we had previously claimed to cease war with Ross and form an alliance with Ross when the Qin army was in a good condition, which is equivalent to declaring war on Qin! Therefore, Qin is very likely to use this opportunity to use Karensa to weaken us!"

Julia sat down on the throne, frowned. "What scale will Qin State interfere?" Julia asked.

Prime Minister Thomas thought: "It's hard to say! If they don't want to break completely with us for the time being, they will not send troops to intervene, but will use weapons and equipment to support Karenza!~~"

"What if Qin decides to break with us at this time?" Sophia asked with a frown.

Prime Minister Thomas said: "That will be the situation we least want to see! The First Legion, Second Legion, Fourth Legion and Canglang Camp Iron Cavalry are all in the Western Regions. These 350,000 troops are all elites of the Qin army's battles! The Canglang Camp Iron Cavalry swept thousands of miles in Ross back then! If they were on the Assyrian battlefield, I was afraid~~~" Thomas shook his head with a wry smile. Julia and the ministers all frowned, and no one dared to slap his chest in front of the Qin army's battle lions.

Thomas continued: "But there is no need to worry too much! According to the current situation, it is unlikely that the Qin army will devote all these main elites to the Assyrian battlefield! This is very unwise!" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and nodded.

Julia thought, "It seems that the worst plan must be made! Yushenko, you must pay close attention to every move of Qin State, and report to me and General Schneider at the same time if there is any situation! This time I hope you will not neglect your duties again!" Yushenko quickly agreed.

Julia's eyes turned to Schneider and reminded: "Once you receive news of the Qin army's advance, you will immediately stop the attack and arrange defense on the spot!" "Yes!"

Julia said to Prime Minister Thomas: "Prime Minister, immediately order the Twelve Eastern Provinces to convene local security forces in the territory!" The so-called Twelve Eastern Provinces are probably the current Asia Minor region!

"Yes! Your Majesty intends to transfer these troops to General Snyder?"

Julia nodded, "The twelve provinces can recruit a total of 600,000 guards! This force plus seven regular legions should be enough!"

"Your Majesty, you cannot transfer all the 600,000 local security troops, otherwise if something happens to the local area, the problem will be serious!" said the Prime Minister.

Julia nodded, "Then draw 30,000 people from the local security forces to participate in the Battle of Assyria!"

"When necessary, the imperial army stationed on the northern line of the Caucasus can also be ordered to attack Assyria!" Thomas suggested. Currently, there are 300,000 troops in the Roman Empire in the Caucasus and the Bosphorus Kingdom, one of which is the Spartan Legion. Currently, there are four Spartan Legion in Rome, which are the elite sharp swords of the Roman army.

Julia nodded, "It depends on the situation!"

Julia glanced at the ministers and sang: "Do you have any other opinions?" Seeing that no one asked a question, she said: "Okay! This matter is settled!"

After the discussion was dispersed, Prime Minister Thomas asked Julia for advice: "Your Majesty, the secret envoy of the Ross has arrived! Do you want to see him?"
