Chapter 15 Claiming the Inheritance (Part 2)

Just as the housekeeper shook his head and moved out the title deed box, Anthony twirled his fingers happily under the light, and then Domuka next to him smiled and brought him fresh and delicious plums, "Culio, my Have the guests been invited?”

"Of course, everything is going according to plan." Curio said with a smile, "You have to know that we are fighting on two fronts now, and I will not be stupid enough to trust the Senate. I heard that the young Caesar was Cicero for Contain us, pull the flag from Lubii City.”

At this time, a young man emerged from the shadow of the porch, and it turned out to be Eurabella, "Captain Commander, I hope you can enjoy the blessings that should be distributed to his heirs and the people in the garden of Caesar's residence. Feeling happy." It seems that he is Anthony's "guest".

"These words of yours should not be told in this secret meeting, but should be said in the Senate, so that everyone will think that it is best for us to have an incompatible relationship." Anthony said jokingly without caring.

Next to him, Curio, standing in the corner where the third party was, also smiled and said nothing.

"This is really ridiculous. Aren't we in a hostile relationship? After all, don't you just want to take advantage of the network of voters I had in Rome when I served as tribune and administrator?"

"That's right, it's unrealistic for you and Marco to expect the Senate. If the Senate is allowed to do whatever they want, Antony will be liquidated because of his previous position as a Caesarist party, and you, Eulabella, will be liquidated because of your style of being close to the common people. It's a matter of time, and you are still too young. If the previous acting consul was promoted by Caesar, it would be hard to say who would fall from the top ranks. What about the second-rate and third-rate people?" Curio stood up and began to lobby, "So, now it is time to take advantage of the resumption of the campaign and catch the Senate by surprise. You will first seek the province of Syria through the Triblis Council, and Antony will use all his strength. Pretend to stop you and continue to deceive the selected fathers into supporting your election, but then you go to the Syrian province.”

"But as we all know, the Senate hopes to give that province, including the three legions that Caesar left in Egypt, to Cassius." Eulabella obviously did not have enough confidence in this plan.

"So what, you just need to get Syria, and we can guarantee that you can get it, as long as you can combine the power of the people with Mark's legions. Now the Senate has lost the ability to grant legions and marches as they wish. The prestige and power of the province. Since Caesar's death, the status of this group of people in the country and the people has plummeted - could there be a worse act than that of harboring the murderer of the dictator? Take advantage of this opportunity to capture the province of Macedonia!”

"Planning to seize the province of Macedonia?"

When Ulabella said this in surprise, Anthony, who was sitting opposite, smiled shyly and proudly, which seemed to mean "I hate it, you've noticed all this".

"Yes, Marco needs more legions. Lepidus' original elite legions are all concentrated in that province. As long as Marco wins the right to command the province, it will be convenient for the following." Curio explained.

"Wow, wait, isn't it true that the Senate has already issued an edict announcing peace with the Kingdom of Dacia? At the same time, there is no reason for the province of Macedonia to have six legions and send them to Parthia?" Labella was as excited as if the legion that originally belonged to her had been usurped.

Curio and Anthony laughed together, and then Anthony walked up to him, handed him a glass of wine, and then said, "I don't look down on you, but how can you command Lepidus' army? I'm afraid you will end up like this Will be killed by mutiny."

"How come you don't know that this end is not yours?" Ulabella sneered back.

"It's very simple - I need time. I will first give Caesar's legacy to these legions to win their hearts, and then I will declare revenge for Caesar. As long as I use this name, if not all, there will be at least three to four legions. It will belong to me, don't ask why? Lepidus' whereabouts are unknown now. On the one hand, the Senate cannot find him, but on the other hand, he does not dare to show up rashly, so the only choice for the soldiers is me, who once served as his lieutenant. Anthony, I am also the founder of this army, and I own the shares. This advantage becomes clear when compared with you." Anthony is full of confidence.

Eurabella didn't want to have any more verbal arguments with him, so she raised her hands and said, "Okay, all I want is the province of Syria. I think this deal can be fulfilled." Then he stared at Antony and said, "You have to avenge Caesar." If so, then you have to take practical actions, because those big soldiers are not easy to fool, you will declare the entire city of Rome a public enemy and carry out massacres, right? "

"I'm not that cruel, Eurabella. I promise this won't happen." Anthony said with a smile.

"Can you promise you won't massacre?"

"No, I can only promise that I will not massacre casually." Anthony's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

"This doesn't scare me, Anthony. There are gains and losses." After saying that, Urabella smiled nonchalantly, "Sometimes, ambition is such a sweet and good thing, it makes life full of all kinds of surprises. It's not fun. In this city and in this country, everyone wants to be a dice player." Then he bowed and left.

Time passed quickly. A few days later, in the drizzle, when election platforms were set up everywhere in the Roman Forum, Octavian, Leo, and the others also gave a speech to everyone in the square, "Everyone, I am the new Caesar."

"Where is your adoption document, kid? You should know that there was a guy who pretended to be Marius' grandson, and then his head was hung on the pillar of the square." There was a mocking voice in the crowd. It was obviously sent by the enemy to disrupt the situation. Amid the laughter and scolding, Octavian was not in a hurry, "Please don't question me with my identity. My family has a natural close connection with the Julius family. This is still Any living relative of Caesar can prove it. In addition, I have the adoption documents with me, and I have the support of many veterans of my adoptive father. After this speech, I will go to the court and apply to this year's civil servant to formally sign and seal the documents. "

"Don't be too proud, little brat!" The people hired to disrupt the situation provoked in all directions, "This is a place for adults, not a place for you to play walnut games. Go back and suck your mother's dick, or your master's dick. Men's dick is just saltier, which can give you more experience." Then there was a weird laugh. (To be continued...)
