Since fighting against the Sakura Empire, Karakara has won consecutive victories and led the army to advance straight.

He continued to expel the resistance army of the Absil Empire, and continued to gain victory and prestige, and his troops pointed directly at the Taixifeng, the capital of the Absil Empire.

Karakara wanted to recreate his father's glory and occupy Tashifeng again, the capital of the Silent Empire, and burn, kill, loot, and attack the Silents' belief in fighting.

Of course, the Rest Empire would not let him slaughter. It fought bravely many times to stop the invasion of the Roman army and repeatedly gave the Roman army a firm resistance, but it was just a little more defeated.

The Roman army won consecutive victories and high morale. Emperor Caracala's prestige improved unprecedentedly, and the Roman army seemed to be unstoppable.

In desperation, Emperor Aldaban V personally led his troops to the second line of defense of the empire and the last line of defense in front of the capital to fight against the Roman army.

He tried to fight to the death with the Roman army here, defeat the Roman army, defend the capital Taixifeng, establish his status and prestige as an emperor, and consolidate his rule.

However, when he arrived at the front line, he realized that the situation on the front line was much worse than he thought.

Morale was low, unequal equipment, insufficient supplies, and lack of military strength.

The reinforcements he brought could not fully make up for the previous war losses. The previous war losses were too great, and generals and officers at all levels were very dissatisfied with him. Moreover, everyone was really tired and exhausted, and there were problems with logistics transportation, and the national storage was almost exhausted.

This made Aldaban V feel a little more worried in his anger.

His brother was just expelled by him and lost his throne, but he was not dead yet. If the army was dissatisfied with him and supported his brother, he would be destined to lose his throne.

He could not accept this situation, so he had to win this battle, and at the worst he had to tie and force the Roman army to retreat, so that he could maintain his lowest level as the monarch.

But how can the weak and powerless army just defeated and defeated the Roman legion with high morale?

Aldaban V fell into confusion.

But what Aldaban V did not expect was that someone also experienced his confusion.

This person, named Opelius Macrinus, is the highest commander of the Imperial Guards around Karakara and an important figure in supporting the throne of Karaka**.

He is the head of the Imperial Guard, and one of the important figures in leading the Imperial Guard to control the Roman throne. He is an important supporter of Caracala and one of the important commanders of this battle.

His life experience was very wonderful, as wonderful as Spartacus, who also caused a great uprising back then.

He was born in North Africa and his father was a slave, so he was a slave when he was born, a inferior being. Later, he was even sold to the Colosseum and became a gladiator who fought hard for tomorrow.

Logically speaking, he would be eaten by wild animals or killed by someone in a certain battle.

But he didn't. He persevered. Whether in front of wild animals or in front of people, he showed amazing adaptability in the Colosseum, adapted to life in the Colosseum, and became very strong in his body, and never lost in any battle.

Afterwards, he redeemed himself with his outstanding performance and accumulated wealth, gained freedom and completed the transformation from slave to free man.

Later, he became a postman, worked for three years, and studied law by himself during these three years. Finally, he struggled to become a Roman citizen, completed the leap from a slave to a Roman citizen, crossed the class, and achieved a breakthrough in life.

In modern times, it is a model for personal struggle and efforts to change destiny, and it is worth learning from the whole society.

But this was not the end. He not only became a Roman citizen, but also joined the army and joined the Imperial Guard. He made great contributions in previous battles and was gradually promoted. Finally, he finally reached the position of Chief of the Imperial Guard and became a supporter of Emperor Caracala.

He became an imperial general who held great power and had a high status.

He completed an incredible leap from a humble and lowly slave to the imperial ruling class, and was a rare wizard in fifty years.

The Roman Empire did not focus on other traditions that only focused on citizenship gave him the possibility of making such a leap, but it still required his incredible efforts and hard work to achieve it.

No, you also need luck against the will.

He has it all.

So he became the commander of the Imperial Guard, led the Imperial Guard to become the true holder of the Roman throne, and in a certain sense he had the right to auction the throne.

Despite this, he was not happy, especially during the period after the Roman Empire and the Rest Empire began to war.

The reason why he was unhappy was that the prestige of the Emperor, His Majesty, Karakara, whom he supported, was growing and even showing signs of surpassing him.

Not long ago, he and Emperor Karakala issued an order to mobilize the army almost at the same time.

His first, the emperor's later, and then the Imperial Guards obeyed the emperor's orders and chose to act according to the emperor's orders rather than his orders.

This seemingly inconspicuous trivial matter aroused his high vigilance.

It was too difficult for him to get all this, and it almost consumed all his life, so he cherished everything he got very much. He cherished everything he had very much and did not allow himself to lose it.

Therefore, when he noticed that the emperor had accumulated prestige through the victory of the war, thus gradually overwhelming his prestige, he panicked.

He clearly understood that although the Roman Empire treated Roman citizens very favorably and he was also a Roman citizen, he was not a natural Roman citizen, and his former slave status also complicated the senses of many soldiers of the Guards.

The Imperial Guard is a noble branch of military service, and only Roman citizens can join. It is definitely more convenient and promotion is easier to be born with Roman citizens. However, Macrinus was ahead of everyone with his own efforts and talent.

There are always some people who feel very complicated about him.

On the one hand, he admired his ability and force and obeyed his leadership, but on the other hand, he looked down on his origins and felt that letting a person who was once a slave lead them was an insult to the noble Roman guards.

How could they be led by a slave?

Among the commanders of the Imperial Guards, it can be said that he is the weakest and most easily shaken.

In the past, Emperor Karakara had no military prestige, and he was not so worried, and the Imperial Guards only listened to him.

But now, Emperor Karakara has military prestige and led the army to win consecutive victories, which brought a lot of wealth and benefits to the army, which made the army very satisfied, and greatly improved its expectations and loyalty to the emperor.

This comparison makes him look overshadowed.

If the emperor's prestige is really high to that point and he can even suppress him, then wouldn't his existence be meaningless?

Isn’t his existence just an obstacle to the emperor?

Wouldn't it be easy for the emperor to attack him?

Then won't he lose all that he gets again and become a pathetic loser?

All the painful experiences of the past reappeared in his mind, making him extremely frightened, worried and hated.

No, never!

I will never return to the same state I used to be!

A solution must be found!

Macrinus decided to think of a way to solve his crisis and defend everything he had obtained.

The bad system of the Roman Empire begins to exert its power

When a commander of the Imperial Guard wants to do something to his emperor, it is actually so simple and easy, and it only takes a little price to pay.

Because from the standpoint of interests, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard have unified interests, and those who want to be emperors are willing to pay a huge price to be emperors and give them huge benefits.

Perhaps it is money, perhaps it is privilege and status. In short, with such tradition, the Imperial Guards are a high-wage unit that everyone envies in Rome and also the best future unit.

People were stunned by the various benefits and extra bonuses.

So when someone wants to launch a counterattack against such a tradition, it will naturally arouse disgust and struggle from the entire Imperial Guards group. If this person does not have any military foundation, he will definitely be overthrown.

Karakala is different from other emperors. After all, he is the son of the former emperor Saiweilu, and has a certain inheritance foundation. He has won so many victories and earned so many benefits for the Imperial Guard. The Imperial Guard is very good at his senses.

But this does not mean that he is absolutely safe.

Of course, this is also the root of the disaster that Karakala himself is usually eager to establish his authority.

He was eager to establish his authority and to establish his control over the Imperial Guards, so he was less friendly to some people who dared to offend him and would even kill him.

Kill them, shock the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guards, and gradually establish their unshakable authority.

That's how he thought about it.

There was an imperial guard soldier named Julius Matiaris who was a member of his guard. This man had an older brother who complained about Caracala because he did not receive the reward for promotion in time after making military achievements and was killed.

Karakala cannot allow anyone to slander himself behind his back, so many people know that he was very angry and tried him in public, killed him, and established authority.

The soldier who lost his brother had no emotional fluctuations on the surface, but his heart was still full of anxiety, fear and resentment.

When his brother was killed, the soldiers of the Imperial Guards did not feel anything.

Perhaps it was because the emperor brought them a lot of wealth to satisfy them, and it was no big deal to lose one or two colleagues, so they watched success or failure.

But this was a very uneasy thing for him.

He is a member of the guard of Emperor Karakara. If Emperor Karakara asks about this one day, how should he answer?
