Tiberius left, alone without any soldiers around him, which made the Roman legion commander, who had spent most of his life in the barracks, quite uncomfortable.

There is no other reason, he just isn't used to it. After all, life in the army has become part of his blood.

As he walked, Tiberius arrived at the Roman Forum in the center of Rome.

The Roman Forum, located in the valley between the Palatine, Capitoline and Esquiline hills, has been the center of residents' travel and gathering since the city was founded.

The main venue is about 134 meters long and 63 meters wide. By the end of the Republic, the square was surrounded by temples, halls, the Senate Chamber, triumphal arches, memorial columns, etc.

During the imperial period, it was continuously expanded and renovated, and its magnificence was the best in the entire empire.

I don’t know if it is a coincidence or fate has its own reasons, but the largest part of the Imperial Forum in the Roman Forum is the Trajan Forum commemorating Trajan, one of the Five Good Emperors. During Trajan’s reign, Rome’s territory was the largest and most prosperous period.

After Trajan's death, the Roman Empire has not been able to expand beyond its territory during the hundreds of years since Trajan's death.

Looking at this square that symbolized the honor and history of Rome's most prosperous period and commemorated all the Roman emperors, Tiberius could not help but burst into tears.

He knelt down in front of a temple and cried out in despair: "Romulus, who founded Rome on the Seven Hills, the holy and great Caesar, the five good emperors who created the glory of Rome..."

"Rome, great Rome, is about to fall!"

The Romans were a country with a strong atmosphere of faith. Especially now that they were besieged by the Hun army and were on the verge of extinction, countless Romans entered the temple to worship the gods and pray for their blessings.

Tiberius's desperate cry infected countless Romans. Suddenly, the crying began to spread, and all the Romans around him felt sad for the tragic fate of Rome's impending demise.

Tiberius looked at Mars, the god of war, who stood above all the gods of Rome and on par with Jupiter, the king of gods, and asked painfully, "Mars of Hosts, are you really not going to protect Rome anymore?"

But Mars could no longer respond to Rome.

Mars is the Roman name of Ares, the god of war Ares has been defeated by the white giant Cephalus, and the era of gods on earth has been wiped out by him.

Now, the incarnation of the White Giant, Attila, the Hun King, is coming again to destroy Rome.

Looking at the sad Romans around him, Tiberius felt that he could still fight for it. The old man stood in the middle of the Roman Forum and shouted desperately: "Citizens of Rome, Rome is now in a critical moment of life and death..."

"Defending Rome is the responsibility of all Roman citizens. I am Tiberius, the commander of the Roman Legion. Those who are willing to defend Rome, please stand behind me. I will give him weapons and join me in defending the great and glorious Rome!"

After Tiberius finished shouting, the entire square seemed to fall silent. The Romans immediately stopped crying and looked at Tiberius in silence.

He waited for a long time with great anticipation, but no Roman was willing to stand up and defend Rome with him.

It didn't take long for Tiberius' eyes to change from full of hope to full of gray despair, but he still stood there stubbornly, waiting for the Romans to follow him and defend this great country.

However, the Romans had long lost the courage to join the army. Rome has always been accustomed to hiring foreigners to join the army. Orestes, a Germanic barbarian, could become the supreme commander of Rome. It is conceivable how low the proportion of Romans joining the army was.

In addition, Attila destroyed the Roman legions with great ease, and the Romans also learned the news. They did not have the courage to face the power of the Hun king together with Tiberius. That would only be suicide!

The Romans, who had been lying in the glory of Rome and enjoying a stable and comfortable life, were afraid. They were afraid to join the army and fight, and they were afraid of the consequences of defending Rome. They did not dare to become enemies with Attila.

Tiberius stood alone in the crowded Roman Forum, waiting stubbornly all night. His old and thin body looked particularly hunched. Until the next morning, still no Roman was willing to stand up and defend Rome with Tiberius.

They were afraid. They were so scared of the power of Attila the Hun that they dared not face the terrifying Hun king directly.

It's funny that Tiberius had faced Attila's devastating blow, but he still did not lose his fighting spirit and was ready to fight to the end, while these people were scared out of their wits after just hearing a few rumors in the city.

Tiberius was covered in dew and frost. He said bitterly, "...It turns out that there is no one left in Rome!"

"Even if I'm alone, I will protect Rome!"

Tiberius took his weapon and put on his Roman armor. His eyes were firm and serious: "This is my duty as a Roman citizen!"

The Hun king once again sounded the clarion call to exterminate Rome.

When Tiberius arrived at the Roman city wall fortress, there were almost no people there. After one night, most of the soldiers had fled.

Tiberius knew that this was because Orestes had launched a palace coup yesterday, which caused chaos in Rome for a while. Nepos and Orestes attacked each other, and the soldiers were also in panic, not knowing whose orders to obey.

Tiberius jumped down from the city wall. The strong Tiberius had the strength of a first-class hero. He stood alone in front of the city of Rome...

He didn't want to see the thousand-year-old capital of Rome, which carried the honor and history of Rome, being breached, so he chose to stand in front of Rome and die in front of Rome.

Attila led the Hun army to the front of Rome, only one step away from Rome. Of course, they discovered Tiberius standing in front of the city gate, but they did not take this old soldier seriously at all.

Attila said coldly: "I remember you, the commander of Rome, where is your army?"

"King of the Huns, if you want to conquer Rome, you must step over my dead body!"

Tiberius drew his sharp sword and shouted to the 100,000 Huns in front of him: "I will give my heart for Rome!"

"Foolish man." Attila showed an expression other than indifference for the first time. She said with a little appreciation: "Then I will grant your wish!"

Attila drew out the sword of the god of war with three colors of divine light, raised it high above his head, and swung it with all his strength towards the city of Rome and Tiberius who was blocking the city of Rome.

The dazzling three-colored divine light once again transformed into a devastating light cannon, crushing over with irresistible power.

This is the end point of all holy swords. No matter how powerful the holy sword is, it will eventually fire a light cannon.

Tiberius did not hesitate at all and attacked the light cannon with all his strength. The Roman commander, who was a first-class hero, was not mentally retarded. He tried his best to block the tricolor light cannon and the casual attack of Attila, the Hun king.

His flesh and blood were peeled off layer by layer by the light cannon, and his weapons and armor began to melt in the three-color light column, but he still stood in front of Rome, and used his last bit of strength to divert the attack trajectory of the light cannon, so that the destructive light cannon almost passed by the city of Rome.

This attack failed to destroy Rome. Tiberius fulfilled his oath and protected Rome with his life. However, he paid a heavy price to divert this attack. His flesh and blood were stripped away, and without the protection of flesh and blood, his exposed heart gradually began to stop beating.

When Tiberius was dying, he seemed to see his soul returning to Valhalla, but at this moment, a female voice with a hint of madness and willfulness sounded in his ears.

"Hey~ Why didn't you call me by my name before?"

"I am the most dazzling flower of the Roman Empire, a great musician who can rival the god Apollo, but you never mentioned my name before~"

"But I forgive you, because I am Rome!"

Tiberius gave his heart, life, and soul to protect Rome, so Rome naturally forgave his offense.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 82 I am all the gods, all the kings, and all the citizens of Rome!

There is no doubt about this blow!

Even if Rome had stood in front of this attack, it would have been completely destroyed by the unrivaled power of the Hun king.

As long as you are still human, there is no way you can resist this attack.

Therefore, after launching the tricolor light cannon that was powerful enough to destroy Rome, Attila put away the Sword of the General God again without even looking at Tiberius.

But just as she turned around and prepared to say something, the adjutant next to her said with fear on his face: "King... King Attila..."

"Look, what is that?"

At the same time, Attila had a very strange feeling in her heart. She turned her head suddenly and looked at the place where Tiberius died to defend Rome.

Tiberius' unyielding body still stood in front of the city of Rome, but in front of him, there appeared a figure with an ominous scarlet light all over his body, flashing a terrifying light, and with a terrifying twisted will.

He is not like a man, nor like a woman, nor like an old man, nor like a child, nor like a saint, nor like a sinner…

But He seems to include everything, men, women, old people, children, saints, sinners, everything...

He encompasses everything; a 'man' is like the sum of a civilization.

His entire body was clearly filled with scarlet, corrupted calamity magic, yet he was also flashing with such bright and glorious light that one dared not look directly at him. He seemed like an extremely great being, yet also an extremely hypocritical being.

"What kind of monster are you...?"

Attila's relaxed expression turned cold again. The Hun king looked at the scarlet figure in front of him and asked, "You are standing in front of me, are you trying to stop me from destroying Rome?"

"Hmm~ Destroy Rome? I am Rome!"

The scarlet figure responded to the Hun king, saying, "I am Rome, and Rome is me. I am the king of kings and the god of gods. Barbarian king, you want to destroy Rome, which means you want to be my enemy?"

"Hmm~ Then, Roma (Yu) will definitely respond with equal revenge!"

Finally, the terrifying scarlet color finally dissipated, and what appeared in front of all the Huns was a person...very noble and great, who exuded the brilliance of civilization.

This existence seemed to be naturally hostile to the Hun king who destroyed all civilizations.

The Hun King was the destroyer of all civilizations and the whip that God used to lash the world.

And this great existence stands at the pinnacle of a certain civilization and represents the sum of a certain great civilization.

From Him, we can see Rome, which rose from the land of seven hills and was built step by step into a great city-state and a great empire, the Roman Empire, which was at the top of the world in terms of culture, martial arts, art, philosophy, music, entertainment, gardens, and architecture.

Perfect laws, perfect systems, a strong army, and the assimilation ability that the barbarians yearn for...

Looking around the world, only China in the East can rival the civilization of the Roman Empire.

Rome in the West and China in the East, the most brilliant and glorious twin stars in human history, symbolize the most glorious and shining pinnacle of ancient human civilization.

What appeared before the Hun king was such a great and terrifying existence. He was not the declining and self-divided Western Roman Empire, but the entire Roman Empire that had lasted for thousands of years!

He is Rome at its peak, the Rome of mankind’s most brilliant civilization.

As Nero said, I am Rome and Rome is me!

He is Nero, yet He is not Nero; He is a beast, yet He is more than just a beast.

Before his death, Tiberius called for a sufficiently terrifying savior for Rome. Indeed, the beast Nero would inevitably defeat Attila.

But as a beast, Nero was no longer the Roman emperor he once was.

Beast Nero looked at the Hun king in front of him with contempt, and said with thin lips: "Great Hun king who commands the barbarians, why don't you speak?"

"Is it because I am immersed in the beauty of Rome (Yu) that surpasses all gods?"

"……monster!"

Attila was silent for a moment, and in the end, he could only say these two words.

Yes, only monster can describe Nero today, and only this adjective can summarize this great and noble, but twisted, hypocritical, and terrifying existence.

He is no longer a specific person or thing. He contains the civilizational heritage of Rome that has been passed down for thousands of years, and all of Rome’s humanities and myths. He is the collection of all Roman gods, He is all the beliefs of Rome, and He is the reappearance of all the shining people in Rome.

Just this one person allowed Attila to see the complete Rome.

But no matter what, He is definitely not a human.

He is Rome, a beast, but definitely not a man!

To the naked eye, he looks like a human, his words and actions are also like a human, but his twisted and terrifying deep will is something that no human can possess.

Attila drew the sword of the god of war from his waist and looked at the "Rome" in front of him with great seriousness. Ordinary Hun soldiers could only see the intoxicatingly beautiful appearance. This twisted existence was covered with a fascinating skin and enchanted humans with its beauty.

Of course, charm itself is part of Rome.

However, Atila, who is the incarnation of the White Giant and roams the universe and hunts wandering stars, saw the deeper depth and terror.

At the same time, we also saw a brilliant and dazzling civilization accompanied by distortion and depth.

He is Rome and He is civilization.

He was the God of all Rome, as well as the Emperor of all Rome and all Roman citizens.

"Rome is a bad civilization!"

Attila ignored the ordinary Huns who were captured by the twisted charm. The Hun king, with a dead light flashing in his eyes, raised the tricolor sword and announced again: "Bad civilization must be destroyed!!"

She raised the Sword of the God of War high up, and told all the legends about herself that were sung and feared by the Europeans, the divinity brought by the names of the Whip of God and the Sword of the God of War, as well as her authority as a predator, the natural restraint on civilization and the destructive power of erosion...

And so on and so forth. Everything, all the strength that Attila had, was poured into this one strike.

This blow will surely penetrate Rome and destroy this evil civilization!

This is my mission as the King of the Huns, to hunt wandering stars!

Perhaps only in this way can she no longer feel empty.

If the previous attack that could destroy the city of Rome and kill Tiberius by just passing by was considered a casual blow with little effort, then this attack that Attila put all his strength into was the full strength that Attila could exert now!

This attack could be said to have reproduced the attack of the White Giant, the wandering pioneer that swept across the Earth in the Age of Gods.

However, faced with such a terrible blow that could destroy the heavens and earth and kill gods, Beast Nero simply sneered in contempt: "Ha~ Is that all you can do? Do you think you can shake Rome (Yu)?"

"Barbarian, can your attack shake Rome (Yu), which spans three continents, Asia, Africa, and Europe, and has an area of ​​5 million square kilometers?"

"Barbarian, can your attack defeat Rome (Yu), who has gathered the power of all Roman gods and symbolizes all Roman divine power?"

"Barbarian, is your attack enough to destroy the most brilliant civilization in human history, the greatest Rome (Yu)?"

Nero's face was full of the Romans' arrogance and contempt for the barbarians. Her questions were bone-chilling, yet carried a grandeur and heaviness that seemed to have pried open the history of mankind.

Nero waved the Primordial Fire casually, defeating Attila's extinction attack with the three-color divine sword of the God of War. The moment the two sides came into contact, the aftermath of the energy dissipation crushed the 100,000 Hun army behind Attila into powder...

The 100,000 Hun army was at a loss.

A light breeze blew, and the earth looked so clean and white.

After Nero's death, the city of Rome remained safe and sound, which clearly showed the difference between the two.
