Chapter 25 The Mutiny of the Twins (Part 2)
The two centurions nodded and recognized the commander's remarks. Then they asked Tlureas and their side to make a poisonous oath in front of many gods such as Mars, Mitra, Goddess of Victory, and agreed to advance and retreat together. All mutiny soldiers were willing to be commanded by Detureas, and no one was allowed to betray the other. From then on, the military camp adopted the order of silence and curfew. The commander handed over his personal documents, seals and private wealth to Sifax to prevent him from changing his mind at the time of battle.
Then, the mutinies in the Twin Legion connected together. They agreed that everyone would wrap their left arms with red linen strips. Then Telureas issued a military order, which was on the surface to keep the camp, but in fact, they placed the three swaying brigades in Meghara City, so as not to cause trouble at critical moments. Then the remaining seven brigades of soldiers were armed and formed into a long column, running along the streets on the north bank of Sicily, towards the direction of the city of Lilibi.
At this time, in the chamber of the city, Leo was visiting the provincial envoy Marclus, who reported to him about his father's victory in the Spanish war. After hearing that the brothers of Pompey died in the battle, Marclus couldn't help feeling sad. He took the report, stayed silent for a while, and then said to Leo:
"No matter what, the war is about to end, which is a gratifying thing."
"Yes, this is also the biggest event that my father cares about the most. Now the source of the entire war is Brutu of Greece. My father is about to support the war between Caesar there, and he is very struggling now." Leo, wearing an elegant robe, was not slow.
Marclus nodded. "Then, the arrangement of the number of legions now requires some adjustments. Right?"
"Yes, I'm here to meet the envoy today for this." Leo then invited Marclus to walk to the map table and pointed his finger, "My father will end the Spanish trial meeting in about two months, but we can make the first adjustment, and there is the closest legion here." Leo said with his slender finger, pointing in the direction of Meccara on the map.
"Well, is the Twin Legion? That's right. We will immediately draw up the Executive Yuan's order to give the legion the corresponding supplies, asking them to leave Sicily as soon as possible and rush to the battlefield in Greece."
"Yes. It can also be allowed to take on the escort task of General Maximus's squadron. Because of the activeness of Kasio, the route to the Lower Adriatic Sea was not peaceful." Leo added, so after the two reached a consensus, they decided to issue an order plan.
After a while, Leo passed through the quiet garden on the side of the chamber and slowly walked to the gate of the archway, where Fabius, the knight of the Hetius Party, was waiting there. After seeing the deputy envoy of the province, Fabius bowed and paid tribute. Leo nodded at him and said, "It's good to do what you should do."
At this time, from the entrance of the alley, a group of boys and girls who were only in their teens in their teens had pure gold jewelry hanging around their necks. Their people had just returned from the school outside the city. Perhaps because the leaders teased the teachers who were from Shinu, everyone had a lot of fun. They walked around and smiled.
"There are very few copying homework assigned this time, and it's too early to go home. Let's go to the Colosseum there to see!" The leader of the child king shouted, and the men and women responded together. The slaves who were reading around were in great pain. They held the book boxes of the young masters and ladies and persuaded them to not go to that mixed place, because if you have one, we can't survive.
"I think my personal slave is right. At this time, we should go home quietly and do some copying and reading." A child who looked very quiet at the end of the team suggested.
"Come on, Delphimus, when you go home now, you can only see your father and your mother doing that without hanging curtains. You must know that they do this all night long." The child Wang turned around and teased, and the other children laughed like silver bells, passing by Leo in groups of three or three.
Leo stood there in a daze, watching the children jumping over from both sides of him, and when they disappeared from the corner, he was still watching there, and it took a long time to leave.
Two days later, a commander carrying a bronze tube rode his horse along the eastward road and galloped out of the city gate of Lilibi. After walking about sixty Romans, he saw the advance team of the twin legion with red linen strips tied on his sleeve. "The order of the high priest requires your legion to return immediately and go to reinforce the Greek war zone."
At this time, the advance team stopped strangely, with uneasy and nervous expressions on the faces of the soldiers, and some whispered, and the commander held a brass tube carrying the order documents, shouted impatiently, "I will repeat the orders of the high priest again, please call your military chief here as soon as possible and accept it."
A moment later, in the noise of the soldiers behind, Tlureas and the other two centuries jumped out, "Please tell the Executive Yuan of Lilibi, the honorable envoys, the commander of the Twin Legion, Tlureas, has taken this latest order and promised to fulfill it. However, it is approaching the evening of the sun, and our army requests to camp on the spot so that we can embark on a new journey in the future."
The commissar nodded and said, "I will convey your meaning to Lilibi, General."
Not long after, looking at the messenger's distant back, Tlureas whispered to the two centurions, "This is about fifty Romans away from the city of Lilibi. Now, we order all soldiers to rest for a moment, prepare all the signs and weapons, and then we set out, because Lilibi was never on the front line, and its posts and patrolmen were slack. This is the best time for us to seize this city by attacking!"
Then Sifax and Bitaias walked all over the army excitedly, spreading and inciting everywhere, and promising each soldier with a reward of 500 dinars. After the "finals" were completed, each person was assigned two thousand dinars. Everyone was motivated. They wrapped the signs, carefully checked the shields and daggers, and fed the mules and horses.
After the night was shrouded in the earth, Tlureas ordered the cavalry team led by the leader to hold the torch Songming and arranged in a unified manner, "If we encounter the patrol team in Lilibi, we will say that we were ordered to board the ship there."
The other brigade of soldiers followed closely behind silently. They temporarily placed their luggage in place and handed it over to the military slaves for the care of them. Except for weapons, everyone did not bring anything else, because they were more like a large attack team that went to carry out the assassination plan.
