The presence of the thirty thousand Roman troops naturally made Lin Tian wary.
Especially with thirty thousand troops defending a city, which posed a significant problem for Lin Tian.
One wrong move could result in heavy losses for his army.
Because of this, Lin Tian's army did not directly attack the city.
Instead, they chose to roam other cities, sowing panic among the Roman soldiers, in an attempt to lure the Roman army out of the city.
Once their army emerged, it would be much easier for Lin Tian to deal with them.
It had to be said that Lin Tian's strategy was highly successful. After Lin Tian had only roamed for ten days, the Roman army could no longer hold back.
After ten days, their morale began to waver.
"We can't wait any longer, we must sally forth!"
"That's right, we can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, our Roman Empire will be completely lost!"
"Mobilize the troops! General, let us mobilize, fight them head-on, and annihilate them!"
These cries eventually reached the ears of the Roman Emperor. After much deliberation, the Roman Emperor finally agreed to the proposal.
"Very well, then we shall march out and fight their army. However, during this process, do not be led astray by them!"
"We must ensure that our thirty thousand troops remain together and do not split up, otherwise, they will be picked off one by one!"
"It would be best if our army stays near our capital. On one hand, it will protect our capital, and on the other hand, it will prove to those Great Qin forces that we are ready to fight them!"
In terms of numbers, the Roman Empire had already suffered greatly.
After drawing ten thousand troops from their original thirty thousand, their remaining twenty thousand troops were defeated.
In such a situation, the Roman Emperor was no longer willing to let his troops be separated.
Once their army was divided, it might lead to a repeat of the previous incident.
If that were to happen, their Roman Empire would truly be finished.
After all, the Roman Empire now only had thirty thousand troops left, and could not afford any further losses.
If, at this point, their thirty thousand troops could not defeat Lin Tian's fifteen thousand troops, then their Roman Empire might truly be doomed.
Therefore, the Roman Emperor absolutely refused to let his army split up.
However, with their army marching out, the Roman Emperor had another concern.
If their army moved too far away, they would not be able to protect their capital. Thus, he was unwilling for his army to stray too far from the capital.
And this action brought about a new worry.
If their army marched ten miles from the Roman capital and Lin Tian's army still refused to engage them, would they still be unable to deal with Lin Tian's army?
Upon this thought, everyone frowned again.
It felt as though Lin Tian's army and their capital could not be simultaneously protected.
However, one minister looked at the Roman Emperor and suddenly proposed:
"Your Majesty, there is actually an excellent way for us to both attack the Great Qin army and ensure the safety of our capital!"
"Oh? What way?"
At this moment, not only the Roman Emperor was curious, but even the other ministers were intrigued.
They wanted to know what method could achieve both objectives.
Seeing their gazes, this minister spoke with extreme seriousness:
"This method is actually very simple. Your Majesty will lead our thirty thousand troops in person!"
"The Great Qin army is coming for Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty personally leads the troops, they will definitely no longer attack our Roman capital!"
"At that time, they will have no hesitation and will directly engage our army in a head-on battle!"
"Furthermore, even if they are unwilling to fight head-on, we can lead our thirty thousand troops to pursue them!"
Upon hearing this, many people's eyes lit up.
They felt this method was excellent, even solving the problem from its root.
Once their thirty thousand troops pursued Lin Tian's army, even if Lin Tian's army was not completely annihilated, they would be driven out of the Roman Empire.
Therefore, the ministers who heard this suggestion unanimously approved.
"Your Majesty, this proposal is excellent. Your Majesty leading the troops in person will greatly boost the morale of our soldiers. At that time, the fighting capacity of our warriors will surely become even stronger!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! If you can personally lead the troops, the Great Qin army will definitely stop attacking our capital, and our army can pursue them without any worries. Your humble servant believes this method is feasible!"
"Your Majesty, please lead the troops personally. As long as our Roman Empire defeats that Great Qin army, we can reclaim all our lost territories!"
"We implore Your Majesty to lead the troops personally!"
"We implore Your Majesty to lead the troops personally!"
At this moment, many people implored the Roman Emperor to personally lead the troops.
In the opinion of many ministers, this was a win-win solution.
However, upon hearing this method, the Roman Emperor frowned.
He had clearly understood the benefits of personally leading the troops.
For the army, it was indeed a method that yielded multiple advantages.
But personally leading the troops was dangerous!
If his army made even a minor mistake, or if an enemy arrow accidentally landed near him, he could very well die on the battlefield.
As a monarch, he was unwilling to take such risks.
Putting himself in danger was not something a monarch should do.
Therefore, he rejected this matter.
"Personal expedition... How can the court be so chaotic? How can I personally lead the troops? This is not appropriate!"
"Your Majesty, there is nothing inappropriate about it. We have little contact with the outside world now, and there is nothing else to attend to in our Roman Empire besides the capital! At this time, Your Majesty should personally lead the troops!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! Only you can truly inspire the fighting spirit of our soldiers. Only with your personal leadership can we ensure victory for our Roman Empire!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. With thirty thousand troops, we will surely defend Your Majesty with our lives and ensure you are not in any danger!"
The intelligent ones had already sensed the Roman Emperor's fear.
Therefore, they all spoke out, guaranteeing the Roman Emperor's safety.
After these words were spoken, the Roman Emperor could no longer find a reason to refuse.
Finally, he could only say helplessly.
"So be it, then I shall personally lead the troops and annihilate that Great Qin army!"
