Augustus Under the Horseshoe

Chapter 564 : The marriage of empires

Honoria’s beautiful pupils, like amethysts, were instantly filled with tears of grievance. She was alone in the palace, carefully concealing the fact of her pregnancy, constantly fighting her mother, and constantly confronting and suffocating palace politics. , And then another two months of exile and imprisonment.

For a time, the princess scattered all the grievances he had received over the past five months on the white horse. Her weak little hands, accompanied by distressing sobbing sounds, kept hitting Painhurs’ chest, and the pale warlock also Don’t dodge, just give her a big hug.

“Sorry, I really didn’t expect things to develop like this. You have done enough. Then, just leave it to me.”

Under Painhurs’ care, Honoria finally couldn’t help her feelings anymore, and hugged the white horse in front of her. Her tired body fell into a deep sleep in his warm embrace.

Painhurs left the room distressedly and found some of the most loyal guards to protect them. Immediately start the plot that he has already prepared.

According to the original historical trajectory, Attila, who was invincible and overly swollen, immediately asked the Western Empire for half of the country as a dowry after getting the marriage contract of Honoria. The other party naturally refused, and in the end, it turned into a full-scale decisive battle between the Hungarian Empire and the Western Roman Empire, and then quickly moved on to the Battle of Sharon and the Hungarians were defeated.

Ah, the hell, Aetius, when he created a new tribal government, he had at least half of this guy’s credit. He gave him all the knowledge of the Roman Empire to the tribe, and his empire developed steadily. Now, he has contributed a lot.

However, Aetius also learned how to command and balance many clans and monsters. The battle in the Gaul war zone has flourished. It is said that he recently married a Frankish princess, and is now the commander of the Western Roman Empire and the king of the Frankish Kingdom. The brave barbarians entrenched in Gaul, Belgium, looked forward to their horses.

Moreover, the Western Roman Empire is by no means the magnificent tall building that is crumbling in history: In Gaul, Aetius was victorious in all battles, and many barbarians bowed their heads, and was almost the second Caesar to conquer Gaul.

In Spain, the ruling authority of Gilliman’s five hundred worlds is unshakable. His ability to operate makes people feel terrified. The rolling Andalusian mountains are like a bottomless abyss from which a steady stream of professional battle groups equipped with brand-new armor come out.

And the wealthy Africans are transfusing blood for the entire empire. The food produced there is almost piled up in the clouds and sent to various front-line battlefields through the navy. The logistical supplies are horrible enough to support the grand war of the entire empire.

As for Italy? Painhus could not get any information there. After Stirico died, his army was mixed with Romans, Vandals, and Aran orcs. It was extremely large and could be called the empire’s most capable army. The intelligence of revenge for the commander, launched a dark expedition towards the Italian mainland.

Then they rushed towards the Gaul region, and no one knew what happened to these veterans who had fought hard for the empire all their lives.

What’s more, in recent years, in order to strengthen relations with the Western Roman Empire, his soldiers also acted as mercenaries, helping the empire to drive away and destroy many enemies, and almost single-handedly stabilized the eastern border of the empire-the Western Roman Empire is here. The world may be one of the most terrifying enemies.

To deal with such an opponent, it is impossible for Painhes to follow the historical trajectory and write a proposal letter and ask for half of the empire as a dowry. His army has just finished fighting in Eastern Rome and needs rest and reorganization, not to mention that he has already got it. The key to the position of Augustus, don’t worry about this moment.

So, after three days, the bewildered Empress Placidia received a letter from the governors of the four provinces.

In the letter, Painhes never mentioned his identity as a great chief, and only referred to himself as the governor of Dacia, Pannonia, Dalmatia, and the province of Norikum. And he said very respectfully that when he rescued Honoria from Longkou, he fell in love with her at first sight, but because of the war with the Eastern Roman Empire, he did not come to propose marriage.

But it doesn’t matter. My army has rescued the eldest princess and his children back to Fort Terror in the second fight of Constantinople. The two are safe in the heart of the tribe, as long as they can get married with Honoria. , The enemy of the Placidia family is his own enemy. The tribe will devote everything to it, and advance and retreat together with your family.

The queen regent felt dizzy. Almost fainted on the ground, his daughter actually hooked up with the warchief of the tribe? The destroyer who just wiped out half of the professional army in Eastern Rome? ! This is too dangerous!

However, after careful consideration, it appears that Painhes is indeed in Rome’s bureaucracy, and his position is not low. Comparing with Giliman, it is not too much, and more importantly: he has the ability to destroy half of the Eastern Roman army! Your own family, with the help of the tribe, will surely be even more powerful!

Think about it! Why did Aetius inherit the position of war commander after his father died in battle? Because he had the full support of the tribe behind him, Stilico, with the brave and warrior Vandals and Alan Barbarians, achieved a transcendent status under one person in the empire and above ten thousand people. Aetius became the youngest commander in history, and the Horde was even more indispensable.

If you can get this foreign aid, your family will always stand at the apex of the empire. However, the imperial princess and a centaur… he is not even a barbarian, but a monster!

Just when the Queen Mother was hesitant, the whole of Milan began to be in chaos. The ballads just composed by the dead poets began to spread throughout the empire through the mouth and hands of the bard, and all the dead poets took months to compose. The melody of the song is beautiful and the lyrics are touching.

The first song chants the great achievements of the governors of the four provinces. In just 20 years, he expanded a tribe of thousands of people into a huge empire spanning the four seas and annihilated the Eastern Roman Empire in just half a month. Half of the army.

The second song sings about the love between the warchief and Honoria, how the white horse defeated the red dragon, rescued the princess from the dragon’s nest and fell in love with it, but because of the race, the love was blocked by the cliché story.

The queen regent rolled her eyes, and the other party didn’t give herself a chance to choose. She directly used the bard’s mouth to spread the story. The helpless Placidia finally agreed to it, driven by his interests. For a moment, the entire empire was amazed by the marriage: the first Roman princess in a hundred years married a non-human monster!
