Chapter 228 Hannibal is knocking at the door! I think Carthage must be destroyed!
The first thing that appeared on the sky was a hall with dim lighting.

The picture is not clear at the moment.

All I could hear was a lot of people arguing.

As the picture becomes clearer, you can see a huge map appear.

If this map was from the past.

Except for people in the Qing Dynasty, no other ancient people could recognize it.

But recently, with the repeated narration of the sky curtain, even the children of the ancients can now point to the map on the sky curtain and say:
“This is a map of Europe!”

As the lens zooms out further.

You can see that this map is painted on the wall and has a classical art style.

The area covered is centered on the Italian peninsula.

Including today's France, Spain and Germany.

North Africa in the south, Greece, the Balkan Peninsula, Turkey in the east, and all the way to Arabia and Iran.

In front of this huge map mural.

There were some Europeans in robes arguing.

Although these people have the faces of foreign barbarians.

But their hair is mainly black, just like the Huaxia people.

Young people have black hair, while old people have gray hair.

Although the clothes they wear are very different from Chinese clothes, it can be seen that they are carefully designed and have a certain artistic style.

It is definitely not that pure barbaric style without culture and art.

In addition, from the side of the camera, you can see the entire interior of the hall, which is filled with exquisite statues.

There are neat steps and seats.

Soldiers responsible for maintaining order at the venue.

They were all wearing exquisite armor, handsome crowns and gorgeous cloaks.

Just from the short dozen seconds of footage at the beginning, Ying Zheng can basically make a judgment.

"This should be a Western barbarian country."

"But compared to those pure barbarians, they are much more advanced."

Perhaps he felt that what he said was somewhat contradictory, Ying Zheng paused and spoke.

"This is a civilization outside of our China and Qin."

"I just don't know, which era is it from?"

However, although Ying Zheng was not clear about the sky screen picture, he knew which era of civilization it belonged to.

But Ying Zheng could see some key details.

For example, the armor and weapons of the guards on site were mainly made of bronze.

Although some of the weapons of the Qin army were made of iron.

But overall, bronze is the main material.

So Ying Zheng felt it vaguely.

This exotic civilization appeared on the sky.

It may be in roughly the same era as his own Qin Dynasty.

Then Ying Zheng suddenly realized a problem.

In a foreign civilization that may be contemporary with the Qin Dynasty.

It is unexpected that a clean, tidy, artistic hall can be built!

Surprisingly, everyone was wearing robes with artistic designs!

The key is that they still have the same black hair as the Chinese!
This is quite incredible!

"Is this civilization similar to the Qin Dynasty?"

Unconsciously, Ying Zheng suddenly developed a little liking for the civilization that appeared on the sky.

Although only a little bit.

But compared to the obvious disdain shown when seeing other real barbaric countries.

It can make Ying Zheng have a little bit of good feelings towards a foreign civilization.

It's already very remarkable.

But this is actually a very normal mentality.

Although it seems that ancient China looked down on the surrounding foreign civilizations.

But they are mainly the surrounding southern barbarians, northern barbarians, eastern barbarians, and western Rong.

It is indeed quite backward in terms of civilization.

When compared with the others, it is simply unbearable to look at.

In this situation, the ancient Chinese people would look down on the barbarians.

It's also normal.

And this civilization appeared on the sky.

At least at first glance it looks pretty intimidating.

Naturally, it can attract the special attention of many ancient audiences.

And naturally develop some good feelings.

……

In Ying Zheng’s thinking.

The marquee continues to play.

All I saw were these people in long robes, discussing fiercely. [We, Rome, should have completely destroyed Carthage and killed all their people in the last war!]

【No one, young or old, will be allowed to stay! 】

This kind of speech caused a lot of debate among the people attending the meeting.

【Saguntum has been captured by Hannibal! 】

【Spain's allies have failed us.】

Why are things in Spain always so bad?

[Stop arguing, the key now is to confirm Hannibal's location! ]

[Where was the last exact reported position of Hannibal's army? ]

……

[My intelligence agents in Spain tell me that Hannibal's fleet has already sailed.]

[We estimate that Marseille will definitely be invaded by the fleet! ]

【We must support Marseille immediately! 】

While the Roman senators were arguing on the tent.

The picture also appears at the right time.

A fleet flying the flag of Carthage rushed from the Mediterranean Sea to the port of Marseille in southern France.

Blockade the city from the sea.

The game screen matches the scene of the elders’ discussion.

It allows both modern and ancient audiences to see the situation very intuitively.

And for the purpose of promoting the game, the picture also shows the navy attacking the city.

The ship-borne catapults roared and huge rocks flew all over the sky.

After the fleet fired and destroyed the city's defense system.

A large number of Carthaginian soldiers landed on the beach.

Roaring into the city.

Large-scale game scenes and solemn and tense background music.

It instantly aroused the audience's emotions, giving people the illusion that a storm was about to come.

Canopy.

[Nonsense! This is ridiculous! Fleet? Where did the fleet come from?]

[Our Roman navy controls the Mediterranean and monitors the Carthaginian fleet's every move! ]

[The Carthaginian navy did not leave the port at all! ]

……

【I think Hannibal has not yet launched an attack, he is looking for allies. 】

[At this time, Hannibal is lobbying the Macedonians and Greeks! ]

【They will ally with Hannibal.】

[Even the entire Illyrian region will rebel against Rome! ]

[Once his diplomacy succeeds, Rome will lose the Adriatic Sea again! ]

Similarly, the sky also showed the scene of Carthage and the Greek city-states forming an alliance.

The mighty Athenian army, Spartan army, Macedonian army, etc.

They all obeyed Hannibal's command and were ready to join him in strategically encircling Rome.

……

[You are talking nonsense! ]

[Our ally Iberus will not let the Greeks ally with Hannibal! ]

[And our army has the right of military access to Iberus. ]

[Can easily defeat these Greek allies that Hannibal found. 】

[I think Hannibal would go straight to the point and launch an attack from Carthage's African homeland.]

【From North Africa, across the Mediterranean. 】

【Landing in Sicily! 】

[The city-state of Syracuse in Sicily will betray Rome. ]

【Then, together with Carthage, they launched an attack from southern Italy. 】

……

The picture on the sky curtain naturally also gives a demonstration of the Carthaginian army landing in Sicily from North Africa and then landing in Italy from Sicily.

And because the distance of this section of sea is very close.

It is actually very easy to operate.

Modern audiences of later generations can basically also associate it with World War II.

This is how Italy was landed during World War II and became the first Axis power to be defeated.

On the canopy.

The Roman senators gave three directions: west, east and south.

The elders gave different speculations based on their own interests.

This led to the entire Senate.

The arguments became more and more intense.
