Like Chu, there were many nobles in Rome, which was named the Republic. These nobles only need to carefully examine their full names - the normal format of Roman names is human name + clan name + family name. There are many repetitions of human names, and many father and son also have the same name; clan names are similar to those of Chu aristocrats, indicating their clan origin; family names are equivalent to those of Chu and are branches of a certain surname - it can be easily discovered.

The translation of the surname Fabian is a common practice. In fact, the surname Fabian can also be translated into Fabius. The Fabius clan is all people with the surname Fabius. There are six most prominent surnames in the Republic, and Fabius is one of them.

The most brilliant and tragic story of this clan is the Battle of Cremery in 477 BC. Rome resisted countless enemies with only 306 people, and the three hundred and six people were eventually outnumbered and all died, leaving only a male orphan. All of these 306 people came from the Fabius clan.

However, Fabius was not the Roman Ruo Ao clan. Fabius may be more similar to the Qu clan of Chu. Many people in the clan served as the Roman high priest. Fabius Fabian Pictot himself looked like Qu Yuan who wrote nine sacrificial songs. He wrote the untold Roman history in Greek.

A country older than Rome (Picto determined the founding time of Rome in the ‘first year of the 8th Olympic Games’ or 747 BC), a nation that was safe and sound across the ocean after being judged by justice from the sea. She produced the beautiful silk in the world, and also produced the strongest armor and the sharpest sword in the world.

Strong curiosity and the like-mindedness between the nobles all prompted Fabius to go to the far east to see what was going on, and for this reason he refused the Senate's appointment in the upcoming Gallic War. It was precisely because of the upcoming Gallic War and the pressure of veterans in the First Punic War to obtain land that forced the Senate to compromise with the Baccar family and signed the Treaty of the Ebro River, which was purely to delay time.

Fabiusus had begged his uncle many times, and was elected as a consul and once an ombudsman. Later, he led an envoy to the Carthage Senate to ask the Carthaginians, "We have brought two options for peace and war; you can choose for yourself," which triggered the Second Punic War. During the war, Quentus Fabian Maximus Vellukosus, who was invented similar to Wei Liao's roundabout tactics (also known as Fabian tactics) against Hannibal. He hoped that he could negotiate with the Baka family and ensure the safety of the Chuni fleet when they returned. However, Quentus could not resist the pressure of the Senate, but only mentioned this matter but did not focus on the negotiations between Rome and the Baka family.

Fabius was very disappointed with the result. Because of his disappointment, he was already forty-four years old and determined to go to Chu State immediately. He believed that the Baccar family would fear the Fabius clan and not sink the Chuni ships. This idea excited the Red River and others, thinking that Fabius was a true gentleman. But when the mature and cautious Kuntus heard about this, he immediately asked his distant nephew to give up this idea.

"Zoney has his own enemy in the Eastern continent. According to the news from Alexandria, they will soon be destroyed." Kuntus is ten years older than Fabius, and his figure and face cannot tell any old age. This is a cautious man, and he reflects all the old morals of the Romans.

Fabius was stunned by his words. Red River said that his country was fighting a tragic war with another powerful country, but he did not expect that Chuni would soon be destroyed.

Just as he was about to say that he had announced that his trip to Chuni would not be changed, he looked at Quentus, whose face changed frequently, and changed his tone: "Go. You can't damage the reputation of the family. Tell me, what can I do for you?"

"I..." Fabius looked at his uncle in a daze. He didn't know what kind of support he wanted to get from the clan. Seeing his nephew's stunned, Quintus smiled and said, "You ask the Chuni to tell me."

Six months is enough for the fleet to repair the sidewalk that was broken by the Carthage warship, and to return, because the delay on the way was coming, there was not much to prepare. Food and clean drinking water were the most important, followed by repairing the mast crossbars, wood on the sidewalks and linen canvas. Xizhou produces extremely low flax, and the world produces higher ramie. Hemp fiber is the toughest one of the commonly used natural fibers, far better than cotton. Compared with ramie, ramie has a higher breaking strength, but ramie has a disadvantage that it is not suitable for sailings, and its fibers are brittle than flax.

In addition to material preparation, another extremely important thing is the planning of the return route. The delay when coming made the fleet clear about how to return: after sailing out of the Hera Stone Column, follow the Canary Cold Current and the Green Ocean Monsoon to the east of the East Continent, and go south along the coastal current to reach the 40 degrees south latitude, and then you can take the year-round west wind to reach Nanyang. In Nanyang, wait until the red ocean will enter next spring, and then the southwest monsoon will blow. Following the southwest monsoon, the fleet can arrive at Zhufang Port before the summer storm arrives.

This was an indisputable route, but after hearing Fabius's revelation, Hong Shu was unwilling to wait in Nanyang until next spring. He hoped to lead the fleet back to Zhufang before and after this year's La Festival.

In the midsummer of July, the Mediterranean monsoon blows from the north or from the northeast to the southern continent. With the help of the Fabius clan, the Red River loads the supplies and materials for the return journey in half a month. A few days before the fleet set sail, an unexpected person came to Rome.

"In the witness of the Senate, I hope to have a fair battle with Chuni." The Roman Senate, specifically for the Red Chamber, issued a formal challenge to the Red Chamber in front of the consul Marcus and other Roman senators. "If I do this, it will not damage the friendship between Carthage and Rome."

"This is an insult to Rome." Quintus interrupted the red wall, who was about to speak, "This is the envoy of Chuni who came to Rome..."

"But this fair challenge will happen near the Hera stone pillar." Hasdruba said without changing his face. "It is precisely because Carthage respects Rome that he hopes to resolve the dispute between Carthage and Chuni in a fair way. After all, Carthage dares not hurt a Roman veteran. I heard that a veteran will go to Chuni as an envoy..."

Hasdruba came prepared. As Fabius speculated, the Baccar family was unwilling to kill a Roman elder and caused a dispute between Carthage and Rome. But if the Red Wall did not meet the battle, the blame for the death of the Roman elder would not be Carthage, but Chuni.

"Behave like a thief in the name of a friendly country," the angry Hong Liu listened to the translation of the news, angrily drew out his sword and pointed it at Hasdruba who was smiling, "draw the sword!"

His actions surprised everyone, but there was no reason to stop them. Rather than saying that duels are a type of war, it is better to say that war is the expansion of duels. When both sides do not recognize the result of the duel, war will be launched. One side makes a fight, and the other side makes a fight. People's eyes instantly stared at Hasdruba, hoping that he could draw his sword to fight.

"I'm just a messenger." Hasdruba's hand brushed over the hilt of the sword and said, bowing. "I just want to tell..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sighs and ridicule of the audience. Any martial nation regarded refusing to duel as a shame. The Punics' defenses did not want to hear at all. They took this opportunity to mock the Punics again until Hasdruba left the Senate in disappointment.

"Today's bento set sail." Hong Chu really wanted to kill Hasdruba on the spot. It was he who led Wu Goucheng from Egypt to Crete. Two new Suzaku-class ships sank in the harbor of Crete. Unfortunately, Hasdruba did not draw his sword, so he could only endure it.

"Today?!" Fabius was about to take this opportunity to lobby the veterans to send naval escorts.

"Of course." The red wall focused heavily. "Set up today, they are not prepared."

Whether the Carthaginians are prepared or not, the Red Wall will set sail immediately. If they do not set sail immediately, they will not be able to catch up with the southwest monsoon of the Red Ocean that ends in October, and will end up trapped in Nanyang and wait for the end of spring next year. He will not be able to wait for a moment.

The fleet was anchored in Ostia for seven months, and the injured sailors were now a little fat. Rome had planned to hold a farewell ceremony before, but considering that the fleet could not wait, Hong Kong could only politely decline. He stepped on the deck of the Chaos gunboat again, Hong Kong felt indescribable intimacy. Fabius and his student Qin Qius and the followers were surprised. In their eyes, the ship was extremely foul-stealing and dirty, but the Chaos deck was clean and the bronze ware was shiny. Not only did it not have a foul-stealing, it emitted a fragrance.

"Rise the anchor." The northeast wind is fierce, and they whistle with the cross trusses tied to the sails.

"Rise the anchor!" Hong Shu stood on the stern and ordered it to be conveyed on the deck in front of the stern. The thick anchor chain was heavily twisted by the winch.

Ostia Port is divided into two layers, like a horizontal ‘Shi’. On the outside is the Shang Port, the entrance is in the northwest corner, the entrance is in the southwest corner, and the entrance is in the southwest corner. Only a sailboat can enter and exit the military port smoothly in such a setting. After the anchor is raised, the Chaos was towed out of the port by three five-oar battleships. When passing through the narrow roads of the inner and outer ports, Fabius suddenly found Quentus standing on the shore.

"I'm waiting for you to come back!" Quentus looked at his nephew with indescribable concern. As an envoy of Rome, he went to Chuni, tens of thousands of lorries, which would bring him a huge reputation and a great reputation to the family and clan. But if he did not come back, even if he was an elder, no one would remember him again.

"Open the cannon door." The red crane sent a life again and did what he did not do when he arrived, "fired a salute to pay tribute to the Roman Kingdom."

"Open the cannon door. Fire a salute to pay tribute to the Kingdom of Rome." The Chaos opened a cannon door. "Free!"
