Zhuge Liang nodded: "They have been preparing for so long, they are determined to take this transportation hub. They will not retreat so quickly if they have not succeeded."
Although he had merged with El-Melloi II, Kongming was still the same Zhuge Kongming. He was able to analyze many things from the smallest trace.
He understood that Rome wouldn't let this opportunity slip away easily, so the fact that the battle ended so quickly meant that Rome had won.
Those scattered traces of battle are proof that the Romans not only won, but won an overwhelming victory, and the defending troops were not even able to put up a fight.
Alexander was jolted awake by his words and realized what was happening.
"So what should we do next, teacher?"
After understanding this, Alexander couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
They came here because they knew the Romans would try to take back the city, so they planned to ambush them and wait for them to come to them.
But now it seems that they are the ones who are being delivered to our doorstep.
"Let's retreat before the enemy discovers us."
After analyzing that the enemy's combat strength might be terrifying, Zhuge Liang no longer had any plans to launch a surprise attack while the enemy was weakened.
There wasn't a single soldier among them; he and Alexander were his only followers, probably not even enough to fill someone's teeth.
Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy!
Get away!
"Okay, uh...it seems it's already too late, teacher..."
Alexander was nodding in agreement when a wave, like shattered glass, surged from the city and rapidly spread toward them.
Zhuge Liang was also startled and was about to tell Alexander to turn around and leave immediately.
But it was too late; the wave swept them over in an instant.
Suddenly, the world spun around them, but they didn't move. The distance between them and the city closed rapidly, and they were instantly at the city gate.
Then a voice came from above.
"Is the one coming from below Zhuge Zhuangfu?"
Marne appeared atop the city gate, looking mockingly at the two below, laughing with great pleasure.
He came over to warn the soldiers to be on guard, and then he saw two figures peeking from a distance.
Instantly, a mirror space was opened, and the person was pulled over for a look.
Good guy!
Isn't this none other than El-Melloi II, whom he's been eyeing?
What a coincidence! He was just thinking about how to catch the other person, and then the other person delivered themselves to his doorstep.
"You jerk, don't you have any manners? How dare you talk to my teacher like that?"
Before Zhuge Liang could say anything, Alexander was already furious.
He had acknowledged this teacher, so how could he allow him to be insulted?
“…” Ge Kongming was speechless.
Although he didn't know Marne, he could sense Marne's deep malice towards him.
Looking around again, I realized that I had been pulled into a space that resembled a fixed barrier.
Escaping now is practically impossible, unless the owner of the space is willing to let them go.
Judging from Marx and Engels's malice, it is clearly impossible.
If we can't avoid it, then we have no choice but to face it.
He patted Alexander on the shoulder, signaling him to step back, then stepped forward and looked up at Marx and Engels above the city gate.
"May I ask who you are? Have we met before?"
This was what puzzled him the most.
Neither the memories in his spirit origin nor his own memories do he remember ever meeting Maren, so why does the other party harbor such great malice towards him?
Ma En smiled and said, "I don't know Kongming, but I know you."
"Webber Velvet."
Chapter 346 Kongming: Not a villain? Then how do you define a villain?
Upon hearing this, El-Melloi II frowned even more deeply.
Do you know him personally?
But he has no memory of the other person!
"You must have mistaken me for someone else. I don't know you."
"No, no, no, I didn't admit I was wrong."
Marne looked at El-Melloi II with a smug expression: "The person I'm beating up is you, Weber!"
As soon as he finished speaking, golden ripples spread around Mar and Eng. The Gate of Babylon! Activate!
Swish~!
Without weapons, the slow, drawn-out force caused chains to shoot out from the ripples and strike the two below.
Alexander reacted instantly, spurring his horse to try and dodge.
But in this mirrored space, Mar and Eng are the king of heaven and earth, and everything within this small space is under his control.
No matter how fast they move, it won't matter if Ma and En don't want them to move.
As space shifted and expanded, the warhorse, running at full speed, did not move an inch.
"Eight formations of stone soldiers!"
Seeing that he could not dodge, El-Melloi II made his move.
Huge rocks rose from the ground, forming an array that protected the two of them.
However, the stone formation that had just been raised was moved away, exposing the two of them again.
"A futile struggle. Everything in this space is under my control. Your proud array is nothing more than ordinary stones in the face of this space."
El-Melloi II: "..."
They were truly out of options now; their opponent could even manipulate space, making them a natural counter to the two of them.
However, we cannot simply surrender; we must resist.
Alexander drew his sword, and El-Melloi II used magic to deflect the incoming chains.
Maren wasn't in a hurry; he simply watched the two men's final struggle quietly.
Within minutes, unsurprisingly, the two were bound by chains.
"At least let me die knowing why. What did I do to offend you?"
El-Melloi II was decisive; seeing that he had been captured, he stopped struggling.
He just couldn't figure out what grudge Maren held against him.
He stared intently at Marx and Engels, hoping to get an answer.
Ma En shrugged: "You didn't provoke me, but another version of you did."
"Ah this..."
El-Melloi II understood instantly.
He never expected that the truth would be like this!
Another version of him provoked Marne, so this different individual of the same person got caught up in it!?
He was about to say something, but Marne didn't give him the chance.
The chains tightened, pulling him close, and he rolled up his sleeves and started punching him.
Yeah, punch it in the face!
'I told you not to be so paranoid!'
Bang!
"Woo!"
'You dare doubt me, you idiot!'
Bang!
"what!"
'You dared to pick a fight with me!'
Bang!
"Forehead!"
While thinking to himself, Ma En continued to throw punches, one after another, each punch landing squarely.
Under the terrifying power of Marne, even El-Melloi II, who had fused with the Spirit Origin and whose physique far surpassed that of ordinary people, couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Teacher! Ugh! That bastard! He has a... Waaah!!"
Alexander, seeing his teacher suffering, immediately began to struggle violently and was about to curse him.
But Ma'en didn't give him that chance; the chains wrapped around his entire body and gagged him.
Bang! ! !
"This is pointless. It makes it seem like I'm the villain."
After hitting him a few more times to vent his remaining frustration, Ma En suddenly felt bored.
"..."
With his face already bruised and swollen, El-Melloi II forced open his eyelids and stared speechlessly at Marne.
You don't consider this a villain? Then what would make him a villain?!
