Augustus Road

"Venditis is a bastard." Gaius cursed in his heart, and he quickly said to the retinue and flag officer beside him, "Stop Lepidus, don't let me meet him anyway. "

Gaius's plan was to wait for the arrival of another city legion. He was now angry that the Gaulish disciples of the Skylark Legion were too fast and orderly. After giving the order, they rushed to their destination in an orderly and rapid manner, so they were ahead of the city legion. Arriving at Capitol Hill almost half a day later, we encountered such an embarrassing situation.

But obviously no one listened to him, because Lepidus directly entered the ranks of the forward cavalry, and most of these cavalry were recruited from Spain and Lusitania. They were all familiar with Lepidus's martial arts, and many knights of noble origins He was directly on the saddle, raising his hands to salute the cavalry commander, and Ventis also stretched out his hands to clear the way for Lepidus. Wherever he went, the cavalry dismounted one after another and followed him automatically, holding the hilt of their swords without even thinking. Dare to pull out the sword and make trouble.

Soon, there were more and more people behind Lepidus, all of them were cavalry from the Skylark Legion. They gathered together as if they were acting as a guard for the cavalry commander, rather than coming to hurt or stop him. Etiu on the mountain Both Si and Spinzel yelled, "Why don't you kill him? It is indeed a legion of barbarians with disloyal intentions. Sooner or later, the city of Rome will be destroyed in the hands of these guys!"

At this moment, Lepidus was single and quickly arrived at the location of the Skylark Legion's flag. In front of him, there were several rows of soldiers holding various shields, blocking him from getting close to Gaius.

But Lepidus pointed to the shield and said, "Don't forget the proud elephant emblem on your shield. Who gave it to you? If you still have the courage and backbone. Then tell me now. Answer me, use your heart What you think and feel.”

At this time, the flag officer couldn't help it at first. He shouted to Lepidus, "It's His Excellency Julius Caesar." But his voice was not loud enough, so Lepidus just stood there without answering, and then became more and more Many soldiers shouted this name, and finally everyone roared in unison. Gaius was so frightened that he took a few steps back. As a result, several legion generals pushed him and said to him, "You must not retreat from the current situation, otherwise you and Antony will lose this legion. If you don't want If the Gallic Legion changes its weapons and enters the Bergalon Emperor's manor in another day, then go out, apologize to the cavalry commander, and reach an understanding."

"Yes, your honor and citizenship were given to you by Caesar. Although the tribes of Gaul were defeated in the war and conquered, you did not become commodities in the market together with your family and were hung with garlands. Sell ​​it out because of Caesar's kindness and tolerance towards you. He let you serve as a guard without any grudges. Now your benefactor died tragically in Rome. Instead of thinking about how to take revenge, the fifth legion slaughtered Caesar. supporters, and no one persuaded the confused commander. You should know what I am referring to. You are all stubborn guys. Now you are not only killing your comrades, you are also poisoning yourself and digging your own graveyard. ——Gaius! Come out here. After you were captured with the legion soldiers, who braved the wind and waves to cross the Adriatic Sea to redeem you, you ungrateful bastard! "

This shout completely defeated Gaius. He rushed out of the queue, prostrated himself in front of Lepidus, kissed the hem of his robe, and begged for his forgiveness.

"Gaius, I need to know where your good brother is now. I want to have a good talk with him." Lepidus helped Gaius up and said kindly.

"He is drinking in Emperor Bergalon right now. As long as you give the order, I will lead the fifth legion to arrest him." Gaius's current words were directly like "nothing is taken care of". He stood up Then he drew his sword and said this.

All the soldiers of the fifth legion also shouted, frightening the elders on the Holy Mountain to flee again. They saw that Lebida quickly took control of the army by himself, "Who can they trust in the future?"

"No, we are all Caesar's soldiers. What I hope most now is to reach a reconciliation with Antony. We will fight for the time when this country punishes the murderer." Lepidus' answer made the Skylark Legion extremely enthusiastic, and they swarmed forward. , raised Lepidus hand by hand, and then all the centurions of the chief battalion prepared a shield, stood up Lepidus and raised it high, and then thousands of people chanted the slogan "Imperato", The rest of the centurions stood in front of Gaius and said, "Today we will see the mutual understanding between the two cavalry commanders, otherwise we will capture and burn down the temples in Rome, from the Twin Temples to the Temple of Jupiter." ”

Gaius immediately shouted, "I have been waiting for this moment for a long time." Then Ventis quickly mounted the horse and shouted for the entire army to turn around and march towards the Bergalon Emperor Manor. At this time, the city army Finally, they arrived too late. As soon as they reached the street corner, they saw the Skylark Legion on the opposite side rushing towards them. Before the commander could understand what was going on, he was knocked into the water by this group of Gallic warriors with their waving shields. In the middle of the depression, the city legion soldiers Youzi and the freed slaves behind saw that something was not going well, so they dispersed in a hurry.

At nightfall, when the Fifth Legion and the Medici Guards arrived at the manor, Anthony could not believe the news brought by his Centurion Guards: the Skylark Legion had become Lepidus' guard in less than half a quarter of an hour. .

At this time, there were as many torches as the starry sky outside, and people everywhere shouted to him that Antony should come out and make peace with Lepidus.

Even many old centurions ran out. Finally, Anthony had the courage to ask his wife, "What should I do now?"

"As a wife, I should be proud that you and Lepidus are fighting against each other, but now that you are at a disadvantage and still do this, I can only say that you are a fool, Anthony." Fulivia was standing next to her with a sneer of 120,000 points. He said, "You should clean up the situation you created yourself."

Anthony slammed the table several times and said to his wife, "I should follow the normal rules and beat you up, woman. But now that my Skylarks are treating me like this, I really have no right to be arrogant anymore. So domineering." After saying that, he walked up and kissed Fulivia deeply, then put on his cloak and walked out. Then when he appeared in front of the arch of the manor, all the soldiers shouted in unison. When he got up, Antony saw Lepidus standing opposite, rushed over, hugged him first, then knelt down and kissed Lepidus' Numa ring, then stood up and gave himself a few clean slaps, and then talked to Lepidus again. Hug each other.

"Imperato Lepidus, Imperato Antony!" At this time, the soldiers and generals of the fifth legion shouted. (To be continued...)
