At this moment, at the place where the army rested, Macrinus was planning what he would do after becoming emperor.

The war cannot be fought anymore. He just killed the emperor and was unstable internally and was elected as emperor by the army. He needed to return to the capital immediately and become the emperor, and then talk about other things.

Then we must lead the army to retreat and discuss with Emperor Rest to end the war.

In his opinion, the Abnormal Empire had been exhausted, and the news learned from various channels pointed to the fact that the Abnormal Empire's war machines could no longer operate continuously, and all kinds of savings had been exhausted, and the army could not continue.

The Sakuras are overdrawing their lives against the Roman Empire. Compared with the vast territory and huge population of the Roman Empire, and with abundant resources, the Sakuras is too small and the strength of both sides is not equal.

The reason why the Rests were able to resist the Roman army was mainly because they were still a little far away from the capital of the Roman Empire.

This distance blessed the Buff of the Rest Empire, making it difficult for the Romans to completely conquer the Rest Empire.

However, this also exhausted the Abnormal Empire. In order to obtain more resources to fight against the Roman Empire, we had to increase the bargaining chips to sell goods from China, increasing the prices higher and higher, constantly putting pressure on the Romans and reason for sending troops to attack the Abnormal Empire.

In this way, it was caught in a vicious cycle.

After more than a year of fighting this battle, the Roman Empire felt a little difficult, let alone the Rest Empire. It felt like they were already full of dangers, and the Roman invasion only added the length of their nightmare.

Ending the war at this time should be something that Emperor Rest dreamed of.

Therefore, Macrinus believes that once he proposes a ceasefire, the other party will agree immediately.

Therefore, external contradictions no longer exist.

All that is left is internal contradictions.

He needs to clear out Karakara's existence and all his fans and become a brand new emperor.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel excited.

I really didn’t expect that if I was a slave, I would have the day to become an emperor?

This supreme position of power is about to belong to you!

He is imagining a wonderful future.

Then, Karakala came back.

He returned with the five hundred guards who decided to follow him.

He was still carrying Julius who was almost dismembered and came back.

As soon as he came back, he drove directly to Macrinus's location and directly surrounded him by five hundred guards. Without saying a word, the guards rushed forward one after another, and with red eyes, they grabbed Macrinus, who was over fifty years old, with their strong eyes.

The guards dispersed Macrinus's guards without fear of death. When Macrinus was caught off guard, they tied him up quickly and controlled him.

Then, facing the sudden scene, the soldiers around were shocked, wondering why the emperor rushed back suddenly and then suddenly attacked Macrinus.

Of course, Macrinus didn't understand.

But when Julius, who had lost one hand and was tied up in front of him, was thrown into his face, Macrinus understood everything.

His mind suddenly turned blank.

"You traitor, actually instructed my guards to assassinate me! I trust you so much! You actually want to harm me! What else do you have to say now?"

Macrinus couldn't say a word for a while.

Time was tight, Karakala rushed forward and stabbed Macrinus in the neck with a neat knife, killing him under his unbelievable gaze.

Quick, accurate and ruthless, without giving anyone time to react, Karakara killed Macrinus directly.

When a person dies, everything is over.

The hegemony established by humans and humans is so fragile that it will collapse once it dies.

"I have executed the traitor! All soldiers must obey my orders! Follow the emperor's orders!"

Karakara killed Macrinus, raised her weapon with red eyes, and shouted furiously.

Cao Chongzhi immediately mobilized the guards from behind and shouted loudly.

Screaming the slogan of loyalty to the emperor.

As soon as the guards shouted, the shocked soldiers watching the onlookers started shouting without knowing it.

As soon as these soldiers shouted, more soldiers who didn't even know what happened also shouted.

The further and further the shouts, the louder and louder the voices. Everyone didn't know why, but they were shouting the slogan of loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.

The overall situation has been decided.

Karakara cut off Macrinus' head and asked the guards to hang his head on the flagpole, carrying his head to the command.

Just say that Macrinus tried to assassinate the emperor and had been executed by the emperor. The kind emperor only held Macrinus alone for guilt and not others for guilt.

As long as they obey orders, even those who have a good relationship with Macrinus in the past will not be in any danger.

Within one day, the news spread throughout the Rome army, which was shocked.

However, after the shock, there was no more afterwards.

No matter how shocked he was, Macrinus was dead and could not live again to do something, or defend himself or something.

The emperor also publicly interrogated Julius and asked Julius to explain to Macrinus to assassinate the emperor, recorded the confession, and sent it back to the Roman capital and handed it over to the Senate.

Macrinus's son with the army was also killed, and his family would be killed by the envoy sent back by the emperor.

The soldiers of the Imperial Guards and the remaining generals were asked to obey the emperor's own orders directly.

It can only be said that Macrinus really has no hope, or that Karakala has been the emperor for six or seven years and has the prestige of the emperor, so everyone habitually obeyed his orders and statements and chose to follow him.

The generals of the Imperial Guards and the middle and lower-level officers were summoned by the emperor in batches. The emperor appeased them and gave them money and goods, so that they would not worry about the death of Macrinus.

In a short time, Macrinus's death was calmed by Caracala with extraordinary power of action.

In order to create a certain fact faster, Karakara even asked the army to advance again and head to the second line of defense of the Anxu army, preparing to further attack the Anxu army until they conquered their capital, Taisiefeng.

Karakara promised that after capturing Taixifeng, she allowed the army to rob for three days and three nights without restraint, and could do anything except set fire.

Taixifeng has countless treasures waiting for them to plunder!

With such a promise, the army immediately threw Macrinus's death behind his head and excitedly followed His Majesty the Emperor and made great strides towards the direction of Taisifon.

After resolving such a rapid rebellion that should have caused an uproar, Karakala himself felt a little unreal.

Yesterday, Macrinus was still discussing military secrets with him, and today, Macrinus was dead.

But looking at Cao Chongzhi's calm expression beside him, he couldn't help asking Cao Chongzhi.

"Are you really not afraid at all? If the action is not going well, or if a general announces betrayal and attacks me, causing civil unrest, don't you worry that I will fail?"

"Of course I have such concerns, but I will not stop taking action while I worry."

Cao Chongzhi smiled: "The more worried you are, the more you need to act. Without action, what you are worried about will definitely happen. When the Emperor acts so quickly, others cannot react."

“It makes sense.”

Karakara put away the kind of gratitude in her heart and erased the fear.

He had already won. He became the winner of the mutiny that happened not long ago. He quickly killed Macrinus and shocked the entire army. Now, Macrinus is dead and his power is also collapsed.

He no longer has the possibility and value to be followed, and as the supreme ruler of Rome, Caracala had already gained an overwhelming advantage in this army.

As long as he wins the next war and conquers Taixifeng, he can kill two birds with one stone and achieve all his goals.

Not only can you defeat the Abnormal Empire to plunder wealth and gain prestige, but you will also truly become the master of this army, from a not-strong consul to a strong emperor, and truly master military strength.

Once he mastered military power, his situation would be completely different.

So the most important thing at the moment is to take advantage of the fact that Macrinus had just died and the internal forces of the Imperial Guards were not in time to integrate, to conquer Tessifon and speed up their prestige.

In this way, after the victory, he could take advantage of the situation and integrate the internal affairs of the Imperial Guard according to his own ideas, so he decided to devote all his thoughts to the upcoming offensive operations.

Take down the Taixi Feng, defeat the Absolute Empire, and achieve your own imperial career!

Cao Chongzhi did not know that his actions had rewritten history in a sense.

Rewrites the history of the Roman Empire.

But this doesn't matter.

Because history has long been rewritten by another person, it is beyond recognition.

Cao Chongzhi himself is the product of this person's rewriting history.

And his appearance is just a little bit in this rewrite.

The real rewriting is that the Chinese Empire even ignored the constraints of the land and began to explore and occupy overseas.

The Chinese Empire never did not explore overseas because of technology.

There is never a shortage of technologies to explore overseas.

Since the Romans could arrive in Southeast China from Egypt in Africa to see Sun Quan, it proves that the navigation technology of the third century AD was enough to support humans to arrive from Africa to Asia.

This proves that the Chinese can also set off from the southeast coast, arrive in Africa, Egypt, and then arrive in Rome through the Mediterranean, and see the wider world.

But no one did that.

This is obviously not due to technical reasons, but mainly because of political factors, and some limitations of cultural traditions and economic reality.

In other words, once a political decision is made, the central government will determine that the Chinese will will surely burst out with strong action - such as maritime trade in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zheng He's voyage to the West in the Ming Dynasty.
