The double-headed eagle watched over his empire, gazing both at its former glory and the abyss of reality. In 1185, Constantinople fell to rebellion and betrayal, and the Komnen family's eagle standard fell sadly amidst blood and fire. In 1192, Tiberius on the banks of the Cura River welcomed two extraordinary guests. Alexius Komnen, a name born to bear the destiny of an empire, was forced to make his judgment before the end times. Would he follow in the footsteps of the old gods into destruction, or would he build a new order upon the ruins? His choice would determine the ultimate answer to Roman civilization. ——————Book Club: 809500903 (Welcome to join and discuss)

In a world called "Celos", countries fight each other for their own interests, and races are constantly in dispute for survival.

After endless wars and annexations, the dawn of peace seems to have lit up on the continent.

But who would have thought that a terrible undercurrent was surging wildly across the continent, vowing to drag Celos back into the flames of war.

Against this backdrop, the story takes place in the eastern part of the Agu continent, in a kingdom called Saran, and the life of an unknown little man.

The Second Legion, which was hidden by the Emperor, came to the universe called Super Seminary with the help of the Emperor. In the vast universe, they drove battleships and used macro cannons to bring the Emperor's mercy.

Lin Ce returned from rebirth, still a sickly man coughing up blood, but no longer a lamb to be slaughtered. In his previous life, he tore up his marriage certificate and betrayed the swordsman who had fought through the nine heavens for him. In this life, he entered the capital with chess, breaking the game with his left hand to save the Duke's legitimate son, and with his right hand, holding the marriage certificate to enter the Su family's noble family. The entire court mocked him: "How could a useless son of the Lin family be worthy of marrying the head of the Tianji Pavilion?" He chuckled and made his move, using Bianjing as his board and all the people as chess pieces. The Marquis of Zhenbei used the border troops as his weapons? That would uncover the old case of the Grand Canal and cut off his 30,000 cavalry's food and fodder! The prime minister of the dynasty was smiling but hiding a dagger? Let's see whose secret letter of treason was hidden under the skirt of the courtesan of Diexiang Tower! His father was like a tortoise, living in Yuzhou, with a keen insight into the world's situation; his father was like a snake, hiding in the shadows, laying a dense dragon-killing net. When Lin Ce overturned the chessboard, Su Nanqiao overturned the imperial table with a sword: "Wherever my husband points his sword, even the emperor must kneel and listen!"

In the ancient and mysterious land of the Fertile Crescent, two world wars, like two devastating earthquakes, completely reshaped the trajectory of Middle Eastern history. A Century of Middle East Events takes readers on a journey through time and space, witnessing this region's arduous journey through turmoil and transformation.

After World War I, the Ottoman Empire collapsed, and the Middle East was brutally divided among the great powers in the Sykes-Picot Agreement. British and French colonial rule and the rise of Zionism sowed the seeds of conflict in Palestine. The Arab Revolt, while igniting hopes for independence, was ultimately shattered by power struggles. Kemal Ataturk established a secular republic in Turkey, and the House of Saud unified the Arabian Peninsula. A new political landscape was painstakingly constructed from the ruins.

The smoke of World War II spread to the Middle East, where it became a crucial battlefield between the Allies and the Axis powers. The pro-German coup in Iraq, the Allied occupation of Iran, and the life-or-death struggle at El Alamein—each event profoundly influenced the course of the war. Simultaneously, the oil economy began to rise. Saudi Arabia's oil fields and Iraq's pipelines further strengthened the Middle East's strategic importance.

In the alternation of war and peace, the wave of nationalism surged, with Egypt's Nasser Revolution, the rise of Syria's Baath Party, and Iran's oil nationalization movement. The countries in the Middle East continued to explore the path of independence and development. However, the outbreak of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the intensification of sectarian conflicts plunged this land into new turmoil.

I've traveled back to the Three Kingdoms period and just happened to witness Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's oath of brotherhood in the Peach Garden! Luckily, my father is the county magistrate! Come on, arrest this unlicensed shoe seller Liu Bei and throw him in jail! I'll take Zhang Fei and Guan Yu for you!

Don't worry, I'll quell this chaos!

"With sword in hand, he reigns supreme over the Three Kingdoms."

In 1852, in the sky above the battlefield of Lingyidu, there was a thunderstorm, and an "angel" rode a bicycle, wearing a yellow coat and a yellow hat, riding a purple thunder, descending from the sky, and shouting: The Qing Dynasty is over!

Li Angming inexplicably woke up on the battlefield. Even more bizarrely, his immediate superior had vanished, leaving only the chaotic headquarters, with its various secretaries and a beautiful girl who looked like she belonged to an extremely powerful family and was completely untouchable. Outside, artillery fire raged. In this perilous situation, Li Angming suddenly discovered a commander simulator activated in his mind, capable of real-time simulations of the battle. What? Simulating the entire situation in real time! Li Angming fought his way through obstacles, carving a bloody path. However, as the battle progressed, Li Angming discovered that he could not only predict the current battle situation, but also the future course of his role. Step by step, he rose to the highest command position, even becoming the symbol of a nation. When a new battle began... Li Ang...

[No system] [Huangpu start] [Main battlefield] [Late game troop buildup] [Currently promoted to lieutenant general]

Civil engineer Lü Muzhi travels back to the first class of the Whampoa Military Academy, to his hometown of Fenghua, and completes his studies there alongside many other generals.

He quelled a merchant rebellion, helped military academies speculate in stocks, and was known as the stock market guru of Whampoa Military Academy.

He led the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, and defended against 10,000 enemy troops at the gates of Nanchang. He was a famous general in the Northern Expedition.

He was a pioneer in the War of Resistance against Japan, dominating the southwest and leading an invincible youth army.

From a lowly junior student at the Whampoa Military Academy to someone whom everyone calls Commander Lü Muzhi.

Every inch of our land is bought with blood; ten thousand youths, ten thousand soldiers—watch how I stir up the winds and clouds.

As the Hun's horses' hooves shattered the ice of the Rhine, the 16-year-old Roman farmer Marcus knew only two things: run, and revenge.

On the day his village burned to the ground, his parents' blood soaked his sandals, his sister's cries were swallowed by the barbarians' wild laughter. From a slave in the army to a blood-soaked centurion, he grasped the old centurion's sword and tore his way through the corrupt legions: officers fed the barbarians with rations, the emperor watched the flames of Rome drunkenly, and even the swords of Gothic mercenaries were sharper than Roman standards.

When the Vandals sacked the Eternal City, he dragged his dying sister out of the pile of corpses, but his only response was "Don't let Rome rot completely."

In 476, the last Western Roman emperor stepped down from the throne. Marcus stood among the broken pillars, the rust on his sword redder than the setting sun. The empire was dead, but the smoke from cooking stoves crushed by iron hooves, the sighs of dying veterans, the faded word "Rome" on the pages of books—he wanted to let them breathe a little longer in the setting sun.

This is not an epic about saving the world, but a story about a small person who uses his life to protect a spark of light in an era of collapse.
