"No country in the world has so many thieves and robbers like England." - An Italian envoy in the 14th century

———————————————————

After handing over the board, the high priest became expressionless. He gently bounced his tears with his slender fingers and told the navigator, "Rise the anchor and set sail, let's go to the next island to replenish the freshwater. After resting, continue to go to Cyrani tomorrow."

With the sound of drums and paddlings, the fleet left Malta. Tulinus continued to stand there, staring at their departure. It took a long time to slowly return to the stone house where he lived, full of horror. Then he began to write to his mother, narrating the "big event" he saw today, and he began to analyze the situation and said:

"As we all know, my former guardian and the authority of the Republic, please allow me to call him the noble, so long live the Emilius family (Turinus is already afraid, and every letter of his letter will begin with this) - Mother, I am thinking about the future war situation in Greece. The high priest sent to the southern Arabia and Libya, with only about three legions, so where will he choose to attack Brutu? I think it will be in Peloponnese, because his military strength is limited, and there is a narrow place, so that he can use a small amount of military force to fight against the enemy, and Leo will lead most of the main force across the sea, meet with Agripa's army, flatten the Athens and Uberia areas in the front, and cooperate with the Kingdom of Bendu to attack and destroy Urabella."

But Turinus's letters are now in the city of Rome, like a slight tide in the stagnant water. They have no effect or reaction. Times have been delayed like this. It was not until a month later that Athens City learned about Li Bida's movements, in Cyrene.

After Brutu hurriedly discussed with Kassie Jo, he changed the deployment. He arranged four main legions horizontally, near Corinth, and wanted to use the mountain pass to prevent Libida from landing in the Peloponnese. Now all information clearly points to this point, "I will encircle Libida's legion in the narrow Arcadia plain and annihilate it!" This is what Brutu and Kasie Jo were thinking.

Then Kasio went back again. He took a legion and quickly took advantage of the early spring currents and quickly returned to Rhodes City on a ship, asking his subordinates to attack Kamillos City.

On the other hand, Urabella also led a legion to erode the Lydia Plain and prepare to destroy the spring plowing in the town of Libidafang.

However, soon the Sabo army of Libida Fort took a quick action - Adianna brought the newly formed "Model Legion" with the hired Cappadocian cavalry team to the traffic route Takton, staring at Bitinia and Ephesus, and then she placed another "Eubert Legion" on the fleet of Achilles and transported it to Libida Fort, and met Sabo's sixteen, twenty-eighth and forty-eighth legions (the newly recruited recruits from Sabo in Macedonia and Thrace).

"The Forty-eighth Legion stayed at Lepidar Fort, and the other two legions followed me to fight." Sabo led two elite legions to continue to use the Achilles fleet as vehicles, and raided powerful maritime states such as Greece and Little Age, Reispos Island, Chios, and Samos, and immediately surrendered. Then, Sabo dispatched various brigades and ships to station and hold on these islands, which was equivalent to cutting off the connection between Brutu and Urabella's subordinates.

At this time, after the arrival of spring, farmers were slashing and burning on the vast and fertile land, and blue smoke filled the new country of five cities. The new city of Brundim has now become a hub for trade. Weaving workshops are lined up in the neat shops, and rhino horns, ivory, amethysts are sold in uniform shops. Tax collectors with round hats are walking back and forth with their wallets in the streets and official halls. More and more people have given up their nomadic life and settled here, hoping to realize their "Brundim Dream". At the city gates and docks, camel caravans and merchant ships are transporting their goods to Greece, Italy, Egypt and other places.

On the field of the colonel outside the new city, the Skylark Legion, the Twelfth Legion and the Seventh Legion were standing in the middle, receiving the reviews from the High Priest and the Deputy General Gallius. However, beside them, there were two full corpses, all wearing Greek copper breastplates, holding round shields and wide-blade swords, and light infantry carrying sharp spears. Yes, they were all two corpses sent by Adiana, namely the Thirty-Three and Thirty-Fourth Legion. Li Bida did not ask them to go to the Spanish battlefield, but stayed in Brundim to rest and standby, just to prepare for the current conquest.

Now, Li Bida also armed the war horses raised by Tobias, asking them to use new practice tactics and give them generous salaries so that these two legions can be safely driven for themselves.

"Very good, everyone can be of great use, but I have something to do before the formal expedition." Li Bida, who was sitting under the pergola, said happily, and then he asked the Medez Guard to follow him and quickly head to the Egyptian border area.

In a temple there that worships Serapis, Libida sent an invitation to Cleopatra.

The tone of the invitation was extremely enthusiastic, saying that he wanted to pay homage to Caesar's youngest son, Caesar's mother, and the child's mother. "Now Turinus has been exiled, Caesar's legacy should have his own pie in the share of this empire. I have prepared to build the palace of your mother and son in Brundim, Cyrene, and after the elimination of Brutu, I intend to give you Crete, Cyprus and parts of Libya."

The letter was carried by the command of the Light Cavalry, and it took only two days and three nights to arrive at the Pharaoh Palace in Alexander City. There, sitting on a lion's legs chair, Cleopatra, dressed in a sari robe, read the letter from Libida. At her feet, the maid was lying on the ground for Caesarion to ride as a horse.

"It's nonsense. Every word he said, like Li Bida, needs to be judged carefully. I don't even believe the letters inside him." The queen sneered and quickly threw the character board into the crocodile pond. At this time, the palace guard chief Diotus saw this scene and quietly asked the slave to use a hook to snatch the character board that the character board was tumbling and biting again.

"Dotusus, you are so arrogant and rude bastard, what the Pharaoh abandoned is abandoned!" Empress Yan cursed at the palace guard angrily.
