Galius, the envoy of Nebo Province and the commander of the Seventh Legion, was on the verge of tears. He didn't know why Lepidus would arrive in his jurisdiction. It stands to reason that although he had vaguely felt this possibility beforehand, he had no idea why he had no idea why Lepidus had arrived in his area. Compared with places such as Media, Greece, Asia Minor or Cyrene, Lepidus' motivation for coming here is the weakest. There are only twenty-seven legions stationed in Aquitaine, which can be regarded as his direct descendants, but this legion It was also formed by absorbing the Green Forest Horse Bandits from Lusitania, and its combat effectiveness was far inferior to Lepidus' other legions. After all, the powerful Twelve Legions were in Brindisi, and the closest Sixth Legion was in Lucania. Why did he just Come here?

Obviously, with Lepidus' IQ, Galius couldn't figure out his purpose for the time being, but this guy did come to Nabo City with a dozen cavalry followers. - ∑ top - ∑ point - ∑ small - ∑ said,

But along the way, news of the former cavalry commander's appearance on land at Port Nebo soon spread. The "Local Acuta" imitating Rome in the town square also posted the news, and elders, merchants and army commanders all ran around. They were discussing and shouting fiercely for no reason, as if no one would believe that such an important event affecting the fate of Rome would happen in the borderland of Nebo City.

Soon, the spread of information degenerated into the most primitive way in Gaul, "standing on a high slope and roaring". It was spread from one village to another, and the content was constantly added to the content, and finally at night. When it reached Chinnaboom, the city of Orleans. The content has changed to "Lepidus, the former cavalry commander. Landed at the port of Ar with ten elite legions and prepared to counterattack the Roman Senate."

"Ten legions, are you kidding me?" Paluma, who was walking his horse by the river at sunset, shouted loudly, and then he said to the soldiers beside him, "Now go to the city and tell my wife that my father is here. This is The honor of my little pigeon, so I immediately went to Naibo City and told her not to wait for me, I went out to fight!" After receiving the order, Paluma's mount screamed and ran towards the little pigeon. Ma was limping but running very fast. She jumped onto the horse's back parallelly, grabbed the reins, and galloped towards Naibo City.

After running all night, Paluma arrived at the Erwell River in the early morning. It was discovered that this place had become a huge "camp" - Itasos of Liguria, with a legion; the Allobrogis. and the Ervirs each sent a thousand cavalry; Melissus, the law enforcer of the city of New Masseria, also directly led an allied legion; and the twenty-eighth legion in the Aquitaine area led by Combano At the same time, he asked the affiliated tribes to bring two thousand cavalry. These groups of people came from different directions, carrying various flags, and rushed toward the Erwell River. Their purpose of coming here was also obvious: to gather under Lepidah's tent and wait for orders.

Then all the generals of the Seventh Legion came before Gallius, prompting him to make a decision as quickly as possible: whether the province should cleanse Lepidus, expel him, or throw him under his banner.

"The first two are definitely not possible. If you want to clear them out, you can go and see their soldiers and horses under the Erwell River and expel them? Now that Lepidus is here, how can we expel him?" For the last one, Galius suddenly shut up and stopped talking. In fact, ever since the accident happened in the city of Rome, the province he is in charge of has always been an area where secrets from all parties are intertwined. There are letters from the Senate, letters from Pompey’s party, and letters from Caesar’s party, all trying to win over him, because the province of Nebo controls Rome and the West. The land and sea hub of the territory.

Galius naturally understood that the generals under him also held various positions in private, so he could not express his position personally, so he kicked the ball to his subordinates.

As a result, the generals of the Seventh Legion looked at each other in confusion. The last third-class centurion in the chief group (who commanded the third wing of the chief group) was the first to speak, "How can we understand the political philosophy in Rome, but the cavalry The commander was expelled from Rome because he wanted to avenge Caesar's murder." Then, all the generals fell silent, because at this time, if anyone came out to attack or expel Lepidus. , which is tantamount to admitting that one "does not want to avenge Caesar", which is what the soldiers are most taboo about. Even if they can pass, they will be attacked by a group of mutinous and angry Seventh Legion soldiers, and they are very likely to be killed.

The Seventh Legion is a direct descendant of Caesar and one of the four legions he brought to Gaul. Later, it stayed away from the whirlpool of mutiny and always guarded the colonies in Gaul honestly. Caesar did not treat him badly by settling the land and bounty. . Gallius, originally a surrendered general of Pompey's party, was recommended by Lepidus and was appointed as envoy and legion commander. In a sense, he could also be regarded as Lepidus' disciple.

After a moment of silence, the effect appeared immediately. It was said that the soldiers of the Seventh Legion walked out of the camp carrying weapons and walked towards the Governor's Mansion!

"We must make a decision as soon as possible," Galius urged.

"To be fair, let's roll the dice." Several centurions said.

"Faster!" Galius continued to urge.

"Then let's go for odd and even numbers. If it's odd, follow Lepidus. If it's even, we'll drive away the attack. At least we can protect Naibo City ourselves." After a military tribune finished speaking, he took out six walnuts, and then amidst the nervous breathing of everyone, He threw all six of them into the air, then quickly covered them all with wide-mouthed clay pots on each side. After a while, he pushed one of the clay pots in front of Galius.

"Single," Galius said.

After opening the clay pot, there are two walnuts.

Everyone fell silent, and then the military tribune suggested, "How about a three-game decision?"

So everyone agreed that in the next two games, Galius was wrong.

"Should someone else have to guess?" someone else suggested.

Just when everyone was talking about it, the soldiers of the Seventh Legion had already blocked the outer door, and started making noises everywhere. They used the flagpole to jump up their short square shawls, claiming that it was best for the generals' deliberations to satisfy them, otherwise He will treat them just like the murderer treated Lord Julius.

"It's time to make a decision! The result must be announced to the soldiers." As he spoke, Galius stood up bravely, shoved all the walnuts under the table, rushed out of the door, and faced the soldiers who were rushing over. Shout, "We, the Seven Legions, have only one principle in our actions, and that is whoever can avenge Caesar, we will follow him!"

"Long live! God bless Rome!" All the soldiers cheered, and then they shook their flags and team emblems, surrounded Galius and the other generals who looked "defeated", and watched them mount their horses. , leading everyone towards the Erwell River.
