The envoys were speechless when they faced the big-headed soldier of Phidius. Since this man had scolded the king as a "fucky man" and could not make any promises to them in terms of interests, what else could he say? In this world, isn't the effort just for rewards?

So the surrendered recruits did not even call him, but directly saluted Matthia and Alp, and left. Then Matthia clearly told the envoy that there were many such soldiers. The high priests used screening of prisoners of war. As long as the dead Mauritania and the Getulias were all mixed into the 15th Legion, the Lius Legion (New Infantry Legion) and the Numawang Legion (New Cavalry Legion), and were ordered by the trusted centurion. This group of people was about five thousand; but the approximately 12,000 captured Rabinus from Spain were confiscated and sent their weapons to the military slave camp, following all the legions to transport the baggage, and taking on the role of creating coolies.

Therefore, there are rumors that the high priest did not trust the Spaniards. When he attacked the Iberian Peninsula, in order to attack the morale of the Pompey brothers, he would slaughter them all and crucify them in front of the formation. Compared with this, guys like Fidius felt very lucky. They volunteered to serve as guides and vanguards for the expeditionary forces, Hitius and General Paruma. These people were very familiar with the desert environment and helped them a lot.

The negotiations were completely broken, but Li Bida was completely unwilling to care. He had already regarded the two kingdoms on the desert border as meatballs on the dining plate. As long as he could seize these two places, he would set them as "wartime provinces" or "border provinces" under the jurisdiction of the Executive Yuan. He could not only ask for a large number of strategic materials such as ivory, wood and olives, but also open up more backward countries with luxury goods to supply and please the people of the entire Republic.

At the port of Hippo, all six Legions of Libida were arranged here. The harbor was covered with transport ships, as well as sixteen "Cyrani New Fleet" warships. The remaining warships include Adiana and Cleopatra, a total of thirty ships with decks, and nearly a hundred double-row "Librna" attack ships. In the camp tent, Libida came in with the guards and stood up to salute him. "Thank you all, after the Battle of the Tumur River, I and the dogs have made complete replenishment. How are the army's rest and training during this period? This is your duty."

"Olive oil, women and rewards are all in place, and joint training and boarding training are also skilled. All the soldiers of the legion have been raised in this month, and they are eager to exercise in Spain and lose weight." Karenus replied loudly, and everyone around them laughed.

Li Bida nodded. He pulled out his gilded baton and dotted the northern part of Spain on the sand table. "The Osetani on the southern coast of the Pyrenees had sent envoys to the army of Vicintoli and Itasos to pay tribute to the pass near Spain, and Rous Pompei was said to have retreated to the city of Corduba with three legions, and he was afraid that the Osetani would seize his way. So, immediately our fleet transported six legions and forcibly landed in the bay of Ebro; and Lilibi's remaining legions, the Seventh Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Tenth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion, the Ninth Legion

The "Twin Legion" of the Spanish First and Third Legions, originally led by Tlureas, and the 11th Legion sent by Anthony, have also arrived, with a total of seven legions, unified under my chief vice-president Petterneus, and then cooperate with Macmillan's squadron, will forcibly break through the Balearic Island guarded by Lipo and land in New Carthage. In other words, the battle situation in Spain will be that nearly twenty legions will carry out a centripetal offensive from three to four directions to the areas defended by the Pompey brothers, forcing them to constantly abandon the stronghold towns and the servants of the barbarian tribes, and finally annihilate them for me in the core areas of the Corduba, Ursau and Monda Plains."

When all the ships on the sea were sailing from the port of Hippo, a three-legion army was rushing towards the city of Corduba, which was divided into rivers and mountains. Soon, a light cavalry emerged from the valley on the north bank of the Bebertis River, holding flags to meet with the commander of this army, Rous Gneus Pompei.

The visitor claimed to be the chief of the Sincredians, Mukuas, whose tribe was defeated by Li Bida who first entered Lusitania more than ten years ago. Since then, he has lost his ancestral territory. The whole tribe has a deep hatred for Li Bida. This time he volunteered to join the Pompeii army. Mukuas brought the cavalry that Rous lacked the most, with about 800 people, so he was warmly welcomed by the latter.

Almost at the same time, Rous's younger brother, Syketus, who was stationed in Ursau City, sent a commander on a fast horse to bring bad news to his brother:

"Rabinus and Rilias, with ten legions, were wiped out in the Tumu River in Numidia. Both generals died in battle and their heads were taken off by Li Bida."

When Rous saw this parchment letter roll, his eyes turned black, "The current situation and gods, no, it is the whole generation. Is there too much quota and time left for us?" He just retreated from the Pyrenees because he was afraid of the rebellion of the Osetani people. I believe that the Gaul and Ligurian Legion, which are loyal to Libida, have already entered. Who would have thought that Rabinus would end up so badly again. It seems that the Iberian Peninsula will soon be besieged from all sides and our side is in danger.

At this time, the messenger sent by Seketus asked his three legions not to rush back to Corduba, but to defend the fortress Betnari in the hinterland of Spain, and to take the initiative to restrain the Gaul and Ligurian coalition forces going south. Seketus himself and the barbarian king Indo, with two legions and auxiliary cavalry, defending in Ursau.

"Anyway, take care of me, brother, forever! If I can't resolve Li Bida's offensive, I'll ask you to take the cavalry to escape to Lusitania. Whether it's the southwest or northwest corners, if you really can't do it, set sail and go to sea. Become a foreigner and preserve the bloodline of the Pompey family." After reading Syketus's letter, Rous took out a seal from the box containing the letter. It was specially sent to him by Syketus. It was the seal of his father's "Great Pompey". The bottom was engraved with "Magnus" Latin, and a bronze lion was cast on it, holding a short sword in the lion's claws.
