"That's true, no wonder you would doubt that in fact, we received Caesar's order halfway and returned to other passes. We rushed out of Ochrem. Oh, we were intercepted and ambushed by several mountain tribes in the middle. It was considered to have crossed Negal and arrived here." In the temporary camp where the 12th Legion and the Seventh Legion met, Rabinus smiled and explained his doubts to Li Bida: It was Caesar's order to mobilize, and the governor had already arranged everything, let the Seventh Legion and the Eleventh Legion cut out from other places, disrupting the road to the Helveti.

At this time, Rabinus grabbed his head and suddenly asked Li Bida, "Have you sent the Senate a priest from Feichiaris?"

The priesthood of the Ficiaris was actually a diplomatic envoy in the Senate, who was specifically responsible for declaring war or making peace against the enemy country, while the priesthood of the God of War Mars was only responsible for organizing festivals, which was somewhat inappropriate. Rabinus asked this question, naturally, to test whether Caesar's military actions against the Helvetis had been approved by the state.

Li Bida shook his head regretfully, and then he saw Rabinus's face change slightly, as if he was performing a very illegal military mission. This made Li Bida a little curious. Rabinus and Apis were both from the Civilian Party, and they all supported Caesar in terms of political philosophy. But why did he become like this when the Senate had not issued war orders?

Forget it, even if I don’t accept this chief deputy (it should be my beloved in three years), the 300,000 Helveti people were right in front of him and had to cooperate with him wholeheartedly. Libidaus comforted the other party and said that he was very familiar with Chief Alobrokis. He could let the other party come forward as an intermediary. He asked the surrounding Gaul tribes such as Eduyi and Sequinny to send envoys to see us, and we reaffirm the Republic’s obligation to protect these tribes.

"But I heard that the Helvetis are also using diplomatic means to fight for these tribes as allies. If the Helvetis succeeds, we will not have any excuses or necessities to pursue them in depth. This is just a normal national migration. The special father will not answer to apply Mars' anger to punish them." Rabinus was a little excited.

But Li Bida didn't care. He just said that since the Governor needed war, he would get what he wanted.

At this time, he saw that the look of Rabinus looking at him became even more complicated.

After Caesar's large army rushed here, he now had five complete legions, always following the Helveti tribe along the north bank of the Long River, and he could accommodate many abandoned children and elderly people on the road every day.

"The other party may be short of food. The advance team of the entire army must keep the distance between Eight Romans and must not exceed this distance, otherwise it will be treated as retreating in the face of war." After Caesar finished the order without expression, he arranged to follow the army dealers (Caesar and Libida's tuna, which is completely different from the tuna of Libida, but it may be because they are fighting in barbarian areas. They are completely different from civilized countries like Greece or the East, and they need to bear moral responsibility). They directly sold all the elderly and children who were sheltered as slaves, so as not to waste small amounts of food from the army.

Under the scorching sun in May, hundreds of thousands of people from both sides maintained small-scale fighting and contact at the foot of the Alps every day, sweating profusely and twists and turns. The Helvets ran with all their might and the Roman legion bit them desperately. Until Caesar learned from the stewards of the scale officer that the military rations consumed in such marches, and at most half a market day was still available. After these days, the army was really "cut off in dry food."

When he was camping in the evening, Caesar felt that he could not drag it down. The legion was the "supply day" every fifteen days. On this day, the military personnel must distribute the full amount of food, wine, cheese and fat according to the tent team (ten people). Now it is less than two days away from the next supply day. Perhaps Caesar could give a speech as the governor of the Gaul Provincial, and persuade the soldiers to continue chasing the Helveti on hungry days, but he had to risk being cut to pieces by the mutiny soldiers. Because he himself knew that among the six legions, only the 10th Legion of Gaul and the 11th and 12th Legion of Illyria, now only two under his command, and there was also an Apis "Lightning Thrower" Legion of not knowing where to wander, and the other three regular legions would not buy his tent at all.

"In two days, all the supplies in the concentration camp will be allocated to four regular corpses first. As for the two auxiliary corpses, they will do their job well, for example, they can give them priority to the money they earned from slave traders, and then push the supply day to five to eight days later." In front of the table, Caesar grinded the hook pen back and forth on the table, but said so, but the end of the pen was reluctant to fall on the velvet paper.

Libidaus knew he was hesitant. After all, the auxiliary soldiers were also humans, and they would rebel because they were hungry and dissatisfied. The citizens had swords in their hands. Could it be that they were sticks in their hands? "Governor General, I want to know how much money they earned from slave traders these days."

Seeing Li Bida ask, Caesar gave him the account book to watch. After he looked at it for a while, he said that at this moment, he could temporarily stop the pursuit of the Helveti tribe and build a solid camp, and then send the junket officer to carry money to purchase grain from other tribes on both sides of the Long River, and requested the Senate to allocate the war budget as soon as possible - we cannot all count on the spoils.

"What if the Helvetis were allowed to enter the Sequinny Gorge?" said Caesar.

"It's okay. We have chased the Helveti people for a long time before, and our goal has been achieved." Li Bida said, "Before passing through the Sequinny Gorge, the Helveti people must pass through several huge other tribes. Even if they reached some kind of non-war agreement at the chief level, it is harder to control the 300,000 people without looting during the journey. "In fact, Li Bida had long understood Caesar's intention, but he had to use his mouth to tell all the legion generals. After all, Caesar was the governor, and he couldn't just say something dark.

"You mean, once the Helveti plunders the surrounding tribes, we must assume the obligation to defend together with the Roman allies?" Caesar turned the hook pen in his hand twice, and then said to Libidaus, "A lot of the heroes I brought this time are familiar with the Gaul area. Libidaus, I remember you too. You seem to have a good relationship with some people in the Alobrocus tribe..."
