I am reborn as a lord in Rome

The

Titan Mountains stretch for thousands of miles and are another natural barrier in the Assyrian territory in addition to the Assyrian valleys, and behind the mountains is the hinterland of the Assyrian territory.

It took Woolley and Janus almost five days to cross the Titan Mountains, and luckily they didn't encounter the thieves, or rather, the thieves were lucky.

Out of the Titan Mountains, there are only more than two hundred miles away from the city of Assyria, if it weren't for the sake of saving horsepower, Woolley would have been galloping on a moonlit night, in fact, there was nothing to hurry, the enrollment time of the Civic College was in five days, so there was still plenty of time.

In the evening, the master and servant came to a small town called Puta, although the town is small, but it happens to be the main road meeting point of Assyria, Yellowstone, and Posei, so the biggest feature of this town is that there are taverns all over the place, and laughter and laughter all night long.

Where there is a tavern, there is no shortage of laughter and fighting.

Woolley asked Janus to park the carriage in front of a tavern called the Golden Clay Pot, which was not as crowded as the other taverns and not as noisy as elsewhere.

After the night, the master and servant set out again, and the town of Ptah was only about 110 miles from the city of Assyria, and there were two towns and several scattered villages along the way, but from the town of Ptah, the terrain gradually flattened, as the crop fields on the side of the road could not see.

"Sure enough, it was the food center of Assyria. Woolley said to himself that the emergence of the city of Assyria and the expansion of the Assyrian aristocracy depended on the production of grain - the city and its surroundings were basically plains, with many rivers and fertile land, and had an incomparable advantage in food production than other city-states.

When leaving a woodside bend nearly twenty miles away from the town of Puta, Janus suddenly grabbed the reins: "Master, there seems to be a problem ahead.

Wu Lai, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, slowly opened his eyes, and sure enough, there were a few dead trees in the middle of the road more than a hundred steps ahead, completely blocking the carriage's progress.

Glancing at the surrounding woods, Woolley reached out and pressed a depression in the side wall of the carriage, and with a soft "click", a wooden plank that had appeared to be integrated with the carriage bounced open, revealing a cold long sword.

"Annus, draw your dagger and prepare for battle. Woolley's hand touched the hilt of his sword.

"Yes, master. Annus switched the whip from his right hand to his left, and with a touch of his boot, he pulled out a brass dagger one and a half cubits long.

The moment his finger touched the hilt of his sword, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind the carriage, and Woolley turned back to see several tall horses galloping towards him.

"Janus, put away your dagger. Woolley commanded softly, jumped out of the carriage and waved his hand.

The speed of the incoming horses slowed down a little, but in a moment, the six horsemen came to the side of the carriage, and the first one turned out to be a young girl with a white veil covering her face.

"What's wrong with this citizen from Seneca?" asked the girl who was the leader holding the reins beside Woolley, and quickly glanced at the citizenship card hanging from Woolley's belt.

Wu Lai glanced at it, and had a rough judgment of the six people, among the five men and one woman, the girl should be the youngest, the rest are only as old as her, the oldest is only twenty years old, judging from their clothing, all of them are nobles, but they have not hung up their identity cards, and they cannot judge that they are from that city. The reason why the girl told the origin of Woolley was nothing more than to see the fish-shaped pattern on the edge of Woolley's identity card, which was a unique representation of the Seneca city-state, just as the surrounding ears of wheat were a necessary decoration on the citizenship card of the Assyrian city-state.

"Citizen, there is someone blocking the road ahead. Woolley replied, pointing to the dead wood in front of him.

"It just so happens that I haven't killed anyone in a while. A dark-faced young man chuckled and interjected.

"Quunk, don't scare this citizen. A chestnut-haired man at the end of the ride said with a smile.

The girl glanced at the dead wood in front of her and frowned: "Citizen, at most a few little robbers, is it worth your fear?"

"

Coward. The girl gave Woolley a blank look, shook the reins

, "Drive!" "Hahaha, if you're timid, don't go out!" The dark-faced young man squeezed a mocking expression at Woolley.

The six horsemen rushed straight to the "barricade", and the horses' hooves flipped sharply, stirring up a puff of smoke and dust.

Wu Lai covered his mouth and nose and waved his sleeves fiercely, and said to himself as he got into the car: "Veiled, I really think of myself as a chivalrous woman, maybe, I look too ugly, I'm embarrassed to let people see my true face, but the voice is very good, but it's not very well developed......

"Master." Janus turned back from the coachman's seat.

"It's okay, put the dagger away, and when those people move the wood, you can just rush over, even if there are really thieves and robbers or something, you don't care, they will deal with it." Woolley said as he pressed the planks on the side wall of the carriage back into place.

"Master, will they be in danger?" Annus waved his whip, and the carriage began to move again, and in front of him, four of the six horsemen had dismounted, and they were working together to remove the dead wood, and there seemed to be no movement in the forest on the left and right.

"Probably not, they all have weapons, and two of them are wearing light armor, maybe they are military people, so it is natural to deal with a few robbers, and then again, you should have some eyesight when you are a robber. Woolley smiled and said.

Janus nodded, and saw that the four dismounted men had moved most of the dead wood to the side of the road, and were working together to move the largest dead tree, and the road was already large enough for the carriage to pass, so he whipped again.

The speed of the carriage increased.

Woolly turned around and glanced behind the car, frowning, "Janus, let the horses run."

Janus's whip slammed into the horse's hips, and the car sped up again. Lu Zhong's second rode in the carriage and accelerated, and quickly turned his horse's head and retreated to the side of the road.

Just as the carriage was about to approach the six people, a row of feathered arrows flew out of the forest silently.

In an instant, one of the horses was shot at one of the people who was carrying wood, two were shot at the carriage body, and two of the six horses were immediately neighed under the arrows......

"Master, what should I do?" Janus carefully controlled the reins, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, and he didn't even dare to turn his head.

"Rush over!" said Woolley, and his eyes swept away, and the girl and another who were still riding the horse had turned over and dismounted, and were pulling the reins to hide on the side of the horse, and the four people who were moving the wood had also fallen on the spot, and the few dead logs that stood in the way had now become their barrier.

The carriage hurried by.

When the girl saw that Woolley's carriage had no intention of stopping, she frowned and scolded contemptuously: "Coward."

After scolding, she suddenly raised her voice: "Prepare for battle!"

As soon as the words fell, the blades of the six people came out of their sheaths one after another......

Janus had been driving the carriage several miles away before slowing it down slightly.

"Master, are we safe?" Janus's voice trembled a little, and one of the rows of feathered arrows happened to pass in front of him as the row of feathered arrows flew out of the woods.

"It's safe for now. After Wu Lai lazily answered, he glanced at the feather arrow that had been pulled out of the car just now, and threw it out of the car. The arrow of this arrow is sharp, but it is bone, and the shaft is very new, and it looks like it has just been made.

"Great. Janus breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to slow down any longer, and after a little hesitation, he couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Master, will the citizens on horseback be okay?"

"No, let's drive seriously. When Woolley had finished answering, he curled up in the saddle in a very comfortable position, and he was sure that the girl's group of six would be fine, at least not too much, for the sound of horses' hooves and smoke from behind the carriage had not yet crossed the area, indicating that a large group of horsemen had followed, and judging from the girl's arrogance and the dress of the men who accompanied them, these horsemen might have been their escorts, and even if they weren't, they could have rushed to the six of them in the ambush of robbers in the woods.

In that case, where does Woolley need to worry about taking risks.

There was no danger on the way, and the men did not follow, and soon in the afternoon the high walls of the city of Assyria appeared on the horizon ahead.

Soon, Woolley was struck by the beauty and majesty of the city of Assyria—

he had read about it in the texts of the temple of Seneca and had heard much about it from Sipanoc, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he could not help but be amazed and admired.

According to the texts, the city of Assyria was founded as a vast wilderness with only two villages and one town, but now the city of Assyria has been entrenched for nearly a thousand years as the political, economic, and cultural center of the Assyrian territory. The city covers an area of nearly 790,000 acres, and in the form of length that Woolley is accustomed to describe—the city is fifteen kilometers wide from east to west and thirty kilometers long from north to south—and in this world, such a city can undoubtedly be called a "behemoth."

The first thing that caught Woolley's eye was the city walls, the walls of the Assyrian city were tall and thick, and the walls of the hundreds of cubits high were many reliefs of lions, bulls, and boars, and these statues were fierce and lifelike. In contrast to other city-states, the walls of the Assyrian city were double, with an endless outer wall, an inner wall that followed each other, a deep moat under the outer wall, and a wide military passage between the inner and outer walls. To the east of the wall, there is also a protective earthen wall, forming a triple wall.

Of course, these walls were not fully connected, because the city of Assyria not only had five rivers running through the city from north to south, but also many mountains, dangerous peaks, streams, and passes, and these areas that were not suitable for building walls were filled with barracks, small fortresses, checkpoints, fences, and detachable drawbridges, which added many unique scenery to the city while firmly arching the acropolis. The five meandering rivers of different sizes set off the lush mountains of the city, and the palaces and temples are even more majestic.

The city is even more prosperous, with brick-paved streets that are not only very wide, but also accessible in all directions. For example, the street of honor where Woolley is going now leads to the Isht Gate, one of the eight great gates of Assyria, with the south palace to the west of the street and the seat of the Senate, the temple of Amun to the east, and the main palace of the highest noble council of Assyria to the north.

Soon, Woolley was dazzled. Because the city of Assyria was not only filled with palaces, temples, villas, houses, public baths, arenas, shops, taverns, and freshwater ports, it was also a city of fountains, and the sound of fountains could be heard almost everywhere in the city's main streets, squares, and courtyards of thousands of buildings.

Sipan Och said that there are about 2,000 fountains in the city of Assyria, and there are about 100 main ones, such as the Turtle Fountain, the Fountain of the Four Rivers, the Fountain of the Conch, the Fountain of the Wild Boar, the Fountain of the Broken Boat, the Fountain of the Lion, the Fountain of the Beauty, etc., which are all very famous, but the largest and most famous is the Fountain of Weiss.

At the end of the Guard of Honor Street is the Assyrian Central Square, which is wide and flat, and the core area of the Assyrian Central Square is the Vess Fountain, which is 80 cubits wide and 100 cubits high, and there are four stone statues representing the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter and other carvings in the fountain, which together form a huge fountain sculpture group. These sculptures are not only exquisite, but also rich in water, in addition to supplying water to the fountain in the central square of Assyria day and night, and for the use of nearby families, it is also recognized by the residents of Assyria as one of the best and sweetest fountains.

Standing in front of the famous fountain, Woolley smiled, leaned over, and scooped up a handful of clear water.

"I'm here, Assyrian city, are you ready?" Woolley muttered to himself, the sun shining on his face through the water of the fountain.

Immediately, an abrupt voice came into his ears: "Citizens, please don't wash your hands in the pool!".
