(I went to the hospital for examination and found that the knife edge was red and swollen. It was not cured, so I had to continue to maintain it. Please forgive me!)

182 BC.

In the 19th year of the Great Qin calendar, the 296th year of the Roman Republic, spring.

The war was burning throughout the Eurasian continent. This comprehensive battle between Qin and Rome was like a sudden hurricane, involving one nation after another.

All winter.

The two fronts were intertwined. In the middle, although the Sink Fortress had been captured by the Qin army, the Romans did not give up. The Thracian barbarians of Skdax had suffered heavy casualties. The one who took over the lead in the process was replaced by Cao Xin's main force on the eastern front. This Qin army was well-equipped, rigorous in discipline, and brave, and they were more difficult to deal with than the Thracians. The Romans gradually showed their defeat in the steadily struggled.

However, Scipio was very tenacious and determined to try it out, and released his unprecedented potential. Teams of new forces drawn from the country took turns to replace the tired soldiers, and blocked the Qin army's attack with strong arms and fearless sacrifices.

As the republic system entered the imperial system, Scipio's reform of the army gradually emerged. The original conscription system for compulsory military service was abandoned. The soldiers' weapons and armor will no longer be provided by themselves, but will be uniformly allocated by the state and the government. What soldiers have to do is to obey orders, take up weapons, fight with the enemy, fight and win the necessary victory on the battlefield.

Under the suppression of the Qin State, the Roman army in the imperial era gradually took shape, with infantry and spear teams, and batches of professional soldiers equipped with armor. The freedom and rigorous personality of the Romans gradually revealed. They may have been a little behind in the initial stage and were caught off guard by the Qin army, but now, the Romans are rushing forward.

Northeastern foot of the Alps.

The snow line rose and fell between the bushes in the low trough and the exposed rocks. In some leeward places, snow still filled the valley. Teams of Roman soldiers were patrolling nervously, hoping to find some enemy traces, and then destroy them and report their merits to the superiors.

In early summer, the weather was still cold here. After the fall of the Sinke Fortress, the Roman army's front gradually retreated. The highest mountain in Europe, located in the north of the Apennine Peninsula, was the last barrier of the Romans. The Roman legions guarding this mountainous area were nervously building fortifications. For them, guarding the ridge between the snow lines of these valleys also defending their homes.

On the Western Front.

The battle for Bell Harbor is going on like a fire.

The Qin fleet and the Roman new fleet, commanded by Gan Yong, launched one maritime pursuit after another around the port and the waterway. The commander of the Roman new fleet was Scipio's confidant. In the absence of confidence, the Crassus' successor cleverly chose to avoid the war.

Even if they are sometimes entangled by the Qin fleet, they often use the method of surviving the tail and losing one or two warships is nothing. They can only hold the Qin fleet. The sea transportation line of the Roman Republic is now very short, that is, these ports in the western Mediterranean. As long as they are careful, they can escape the interception of the Qin fleet.

Indeed, on the vast and boundless sea, the chances of two fleets meeting are very low, but if one party has the initiative in intelligence, then just stay on the route a few days in advance and wait for the other party to fall into the trap.

Port of Genoa.

The important port town in the northern part of the Apennine Peninsula is connected to the Iberian, Gaul and Apennine triangles. In the small sea area, sea trade is developed, and it is also an important town for the Romans to obtain materials.

On the pier.

The mast sails are set against the flying seabirds, and the fish foraging on the sea are caught by the seabirds, and are struggling and unwilling toward the cliff not far away. There, a new generation is waiting to be fed, and the laws of survival in the animal world have evolved unchanged from ancient times to the present. As the rulers of this world, humans are engaged in a grand battle for hegemony not far away.

Turning around the corner of the bay.

More than a dozen merchant ships flying the flag of the Greek Free Trade Union set sail. Their final destination was the Port of Bell, which was in the midst of war. The supplies on these merchant ships were very important. They were important supplies to support the continued battle of the Iberian provincial troops in Rome.

Under the continuous attacks of the Qin army and the Carthage coalition, the Roman army on the Western Front was defeated step by step. If there was no strong support, the fall of Port Bell would not be far away. In order to continue to maintain the western front, under Scipio's strict order, the Roman fleet that had been hiding in Port Genoa finally went out to sea.

This time, they were careful and cautious, and carefully chose to sail the flag of the Greek merchant group. The Greeks remained neutral in this battle between Qin and Rome, but due to the enlistment of important figures in the Lucion Academy, Gmetheus and Dikar, the relationship between Greece and Qin was maintained well. The new commander of the Roman fleet hoped to confuse their opponents and strive for a smooth return for themselves.

However, he did not know that in the waters of Corsica, not far from Genoa, more than 30 warships of Ganyong's Qin army fleet were already waiting for the Romans to fall into the trap like big sharks with huge mouths.

This is an era where the strong prey on the weak.

This is an era where the strong are kings.

Once they become weak, they may be recruited to capture invisible killers from different levels. Although the news about the Romans in the Port of Genoa was tightly blocked, the Gaul sailors they hired still leaked the information about the fleet's departure.

Although Peterus, a Roman mercenary surrendered general, could not break into the hinterland of the Apennine Peninsula, his return still caused cracks to appear in the Roman Republic. The Romans, who were underpopulated and highly dependent on mercenaries in the occupied areas, were gradually weakening under the unfavorable situation of the battlefield. The Gauls are an obvious example.

The second day of the October 2nd, early morning.

The Mediterranean trade wind that roared strongly on the sea sent the Roman mixed fleet disguised as Greek caravans to the vicinity of Corsica. In this reef-filled sea area, it also became a cemetery for burying the new Roman fleet.

Thirty to twelve.

In terms of number, the Qin fleet had an absolute advantage, and in terms of morale, the Qin fleet sailors, who had experience in sea battles on Andrei Island, were not comparable to the new Roman fleet soldiers recruited by merchant ship sailors.

When the sun sets, the last two surviving ships of the Roman fleet had to withdraw from the battlefield in disgrace. They failed and were extremely defeated. Scipio's confidant who had served as the commander of the new fleet for less than two years was also buried in the sea in this battle. The next Mediterranean will be where the Qin fleet traverses.
