Augustus Caesar looked with no little lust at the nine slave girls his guest,the Cathay wizard
Ming Yang Yip had turned into nine foot tall anthro dragonesses
by means of
"ancient Cathay secret"
The first Roman Emperor had been most gratified when his counterpart in Cathay,the Dragon Emperor Xio Ying
had made contact 3 years earlier by means of the overland
Silk Road.
The Cathay emperor had offered to lend the fledgling Roman Empire
his court wizard Ming,and when he'd said that Ming could bring the dragon out of people
he hadn't been kidding.
Caesar stared at the nine scaly slave girls and contemplated the lands and peoples
these nine could conquer on his behalf
as well as the cartloads of silver plate and gold
these new tax collectors would bring into his
treasury.
There was however the Germanic Problem,and soon the
nine screeching female monsters were heading North
to torch the teutonic villages
that hadn't submitted to the Roman yoke
