Sicily.

Duncan actually didn't have much of an impression of this place. If he did, it was probably related to a movie, "Malèna," which is a film that many people can't miss.

The Vandals held dominance in the western Mediterranean, centered around the area surrounding Sicily. Occupying this land provided them with an important port transfer point.

These Vandal troops that entered Italy mostly used Sicily as a stepping stone.

But at this moment, a fleet secretly arrived here.

A sea breeze hit their faces.

As the ships docked, Merlin, surrounded by more than a dozen guards, slowly stepped onto this land.

His expression seemed a bit uneasy as he extended his palm to sense, muttering, "My magic power is diminishing..."

"The Mythical Era is indeed coming to an end."

This place was different from Great Britain. After entering Europe, Merlin's spellcasting ability was continuously weakening. Although he could retain most of it, it was only about two-thirds of his ability in Britain.

It seemed quite strange to say, but in the same world, the ability to cast spells actually varied from place to place.

But in fact, it wasn't just the West. Even in the East, in the same country, some areas had stronger spellcasting abilities. The most representative place here is Ba and Shu.

If described in terms of Dungeons and Dragons.

In the world of the Middle Ages, some places were Death Magic Zones, some were Chaos Magic Zones, and others were areas where magic was active.

The ebb of the Mythical Era naturally had its fluctuations.

The supernatural entities of the East used the concept of "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy" to describe the energy differences in different regions, so many people would go to famous mountains and great rivers, deep mountains, and old forests to practice meditation. In Europe, this division wasn't yet so apparent, but wizards had mostly retreated to Great Germania, Great Britain, and Northern Europe.

Here, witchcraft could still barely be used, but its power was smaller, and the consumption was greater.

If it were a magical civilization as in the fantasy realm of Dungeons and Dragons, it is estimated that some places would already be marked as "Death Magic Zones."

One can only say that Merlin and other wizards still have a long way to go.

Merlin actually didn't need protection. After all, he could be considered the British Sword Saint. Upon arriving at Sicily, he immediately ordered, "You all lie low for now."

"I will scout the surroundings, and then you will cooperate with me in action."

Duncan intended to shut the gates and beat the dog within.

So Sicily was a place that absolutely had to be recovered. However, it was impossible to mobilize so many people for an overseas expedition, so unconventional means had to be used.

For instance, Merlin, who had been lying low for so long, should come out and do something.

Merlin had some spellcasting ability here, unlike Severus, such a Druid, who could barely use any Transformation Techniques after entering Europe.

This was Duncan's first time asking him to come forth, and Merlin naturally took it seriously.

His task was to take control of the Vandal coastal ports on Sicily, directly cutting off the enemy's retreat. Anya's fleet would cooperate with him, and some warships would also enter the coast of North Africa. Duncan wanted to ensure that all the Vandals who came would not return.

Not to mention Merlin arriving alone in Sicily.

Meanwhile.

In Ravenna, the current capital of the empire in Italy, a conspiracy-laden revolt was also brewing.

Inside a covert noble residence.

Banaklauf's expression was dark as he looked at the three imperial officers before him and said in a deep voice, "Maximus absolutely cannot withstand the Governor of Britain, Duncan!"

"When the city falls, our fate will likely be very miserable."

This member of the Imperial Senate had been widely gossiped about recently, not because he had any achievements or had done anything significant, but because his wife had been kidnapped by the Vandals.

It was said it took three days to rescue her, and she was already so ravaged that she was unrecognizable.

Also, because he attracted the Vandals, many people hated Maximus. The Vandals are the most barbaric Germanic tribe from the grassy steppes of Europe and Asia, migrating with the Alans. The destruction they caused had already led to public resentment, and many people wished to eat Maximus's flesh.

Banaklauf was undoubtedly the one who hated the Pseudo Emperor the most right now!

An imperial officer in front of Banaklauf said, "At the latest, the day after tomorrow, the great army of Britain will surround Ravenna."

"What are you going to do?"

Among those present, Banaklauf held the highest position and could secretly mobilize the most power.

He said in a deep voice, "At that time, we will arrange for people to incite a rebellion among the Roman citizens."

"Directly find the opportunity to kill Maximus."

"Then open the gates and offer the city."

The empire's emperor, Valentinian III, had no prestige, and the usurper Maximus wasn't much better.

Had he not still had control over part of the Forbidden Army, when the Vandals plundered the southern part of Italy, the Roman citizens would have already started a revolt.

The others present exchanged glances and quickly made a decision.

Indeed.

By the afternoon of the next day, black Dragon Banners appeared outside Ravenna's city walls, and elite British Legions surrounded Ravenna, although neither the legendary King of Britain nor the recently famous British Knight and Frankish Dragon Cavalry were seen.

Facing the onslaught of the British Legions, Maximus simultaneously sent envoys to seek aid from the Vandal leaders and ordered the imperial Forbidden Army to strictly guard and defend to the death.
