Chapter 25 The Mutiny of the Twins (Part 2)
The rule of Telureas was that a whistle was swiftly traveling to the fifteenth Rome, so that everyone could reach the city of Lilibi before dawn.
Everyone was silent, only the ones that kept shaking, with red arms verified their identities. Some soldiers with a little more experienced faces were worried and excited. The walls of Lilibi were left over from the Carthage era. After the Punic War, it became more of a bridgehead and a transit station for the Romans to go to war. The walls, towers and gates were all disrepaired, so from the perspective of the conspirators, it was vulnerable.
This is also what the two centurions, Sifax and Bitaias, thought. Under the light of the fire, their eyebrows, eyes, noses and bridges constantly change with the shadows. They were a firm and fearless expression: as long as they killed the double thief - the state and the Julius family - Libidaus, the whole situation and situation will turn into danger. Anyway, what the soldiers want is reward, and what we need is a turning point.
Gradually, the Lilibi on the seashore, its burning lighthouse in the night also guided the direction and target for the rioters of the Twin Legion.
Finally, on the back of a hillside ten Romes outside the city, the soldiers of the seven brigades of the Twin Legion began to assemble, erected the signs of each team, and began to pick up sword and spear, while the cavalry were at the forefront, forming a rectangular queue, guarding Telureas and several centurions in the middle.
"n⊥My plan is to attack the city walls there, because I am more familiar with the city defenses there - you can see that the towers and walls are broken. The trenches are like nothing, and the terrain is flat." Under the floating flag, Trelias pointed at the scene with excitement. The hidden work of his soldiers on the side was very good, and the city of Lilibi was unaware of it in the sound of the waves.
"Get it, I will take the three brigades selected by Jian and immediately advance to this position and carry out a climbing attack." Bitaas replied unambiguously.
The infantry centurions behind the Twin Legion gestured one by one, asking the soldiers to stand up and prepare to set out, with slight whistles and scolding sounds endlessly.
At the same time, Leo came here very early in the meeting hall in the city. He was dressed neatly. He first sat upright on the bed and thought for a while. Then he lit up the oil lamp next to him. He took out the ring of King Numa from the temple model box in the candlelight, stared at the inscription on it, and then read it carefully several times, then knelt down in front of the family's altar, praying for his father, mother and the entire family.
Then he walked through the dormitory and sat in front of the meal. His breakfast was very regular: a handful of plums soaked in olive oil, a plate of wheat rice, and a staple food made of vegetables and fish, and finally a small glass of wine. After slowly eating all this, Leo saw the tabletop opposite him. He had bought the fish bone jewelry he had bought in the same room as Turinus and Agripa in the Apollonian Academy. He always treasured this thing.
"About this time, I can only treasure it, right?"
Leo murmured to himself, and two hurriedly sent orders came from the corridor, "An army appeared outside the city, and the flags they held were from the twin legions, and they had approached the four Romanian places outside the city."
"Why did the Twin Legion appear under Lilibi? Didn't the High Priest issue an order to circumvent the Greek battlefield?" Leo quickly put down his wine glass and said uneasy.
"Deputy envoy, IMHO, this is a mutiny." The messenger said.
Leo stood up slowly in surprise, and then said, "According to his father's setting, I am responsible for the defense of Lilibi, not Lord Marclus, so Boobis, you should inform you as soon as possible and ask him to take refuge in the Acropolis, and Theseus, you organize the Municipal Administration and the Presbyterian Church to transport all the documents and the treasury money to the Acropolis warehouse." Then Leo quickly walked out of the restaurant, "His Excellency Fabius, Lord Fabius!"
"The Knight Fabius has gone to the city hall to command all the Hetius party and plan to defend." The servant named Thehus quickly replied, and then about thirty Lusitanian chain mail swordsmen ran in and protected Leo.
At this time, in the three Romans outside the city of Lilibi, the cavalry column of Telureas had arrived here. Anyone could see the appearance of Lilibi city with his naked eyes in the morning sun. Only reed rivers and flat earth slopes were blocked in front of their horses.
"Bithaas, you will rush in with three brigades. As long as you break into the city wall in front of you, you will be able to directly attack the central area of the city." Tlureas shouted, "Sifax and I are in the cavalry team, and we are dispatching the left and right wings to support the battle. In addition, there is a brigade that needs to act as the reserve force behind."
The flame-tongued flag marking the attack signal rose, and the three brigades of rebel soldiers from Bitaas, indeed, carried shields and charged forward with shouts. They first trotted, and when they were within the distance of the tower, they stacked their shields, braved the arrows shot by the Hitius party on it, and braved the collapsed city walls.
"It's time to ask the troops on both sides of the left and right wings to attack." Tlureas shouted excitedly when he saw the battle smoothly, and then he asked his entourage and the commander to sing flags again. As a result, three brigades of soldiers rushed up. "Sifax, we will join the battle group soon and follow the open city gate to attack. Our goal is to be achieved, capture Lilibi this important place and capture Libida's son." At this moment, all the cavalry roared in unison, and then Tlureas extended the power sign in his hand and looked at Sifax, "Now you will take this team and enjoy the glory of entering the city."
Sifax was also extremely excited, so he reached out to take the bid.
Suddenly, the groom beside Tlureas drew his sword and slashed Sifax's arm with one sword. The heavy power bell landed. The remaining armed entourage rushed up and stabbed the sword blade at the critical part of Sifax's body a few times, and then pulled him down, who had lost his ability to resist. Before the other accomplices could react, the people around him were stabbed in the back or neck and died.
"Bastard Tlureas, you have broken your oath, you rat." Sifax yelled angrily while struggling, but was held down by several cavalrymen and tied up with ropes.
"There is only success or failure in this world, where does the oath come from?" Tlureas expressionless, "You should feel lucky because you still have the value to continue to survive, but your companions must die miserably soon."
