Chapter 9 Landing (Part 2)
In the camp outside Ephesus, Li Bida, with a little black cheeks on his cheeks, rode a white horse and began his routine pre-trial review. The Thousand-man brigade of the Twelve Legion was on the left wing, and then the temporary thirteenth Legion was formed in the center. Even some of the extra paddlers were marshalled to make a strong sense. The far right wing was the affiliated cavalry brigade of the Vibichinas, and the leader Dussenvier stood at the far right end of the cavalry line with a flag in hand, which made him supervise the entire team.
"The Thirteenth Legion is full of rookies, Commander." The commander of the Legion riding behind was obviously not very at ease with his troops' combat effectiveness. Sabo, the other side, also mumbled, "I hold the same view on General Petternius. Our only hope now is that your Thyme Thousand-man team, the enemy taking out is weaker than us."
"No, I have collected information from the Cypriot army. Most of them are groups of habitual bandits and pirates, and a small number of Seleucid and Cretan mercenaries. How could they be our opponents?" Li Bida was very confident.
"I must remind you that our army is no different from them." Sabo continued to dig.
"But our officers are much more literate. Hello, where is Marco Anthony?" When Li Bida walked to the forefront of the Thirteenth Army, he saw that there was no military guardian next to the flag officer, so he asked quietly to the back.
Petternius said that this lewd plague was either fighting with seven or eight pharaoh maids or bathing in wine. He would not attend the meeting at all. It seemed that the constraints of the military were the most difficult task for him. Of course, as his commander, I also had the responsibility of lax discipline. That's all.
At this moment, several soldiers pulled out the black bull. Li Bida rode a horse and fought two times next to the cow, and then shouted to all the soldiers:
"I know that many of you can only understand simple Latin commands. Yes, our team was temporarily pieced together. As the commander-in-chief, I can't deny it, but our chances are very good, because Pharaoh Ptolemy needs our swords and shields. Do you know where we are going to this trip? Egypt. Egypt full of gold! There are hundreds of bathrooms, hundreds of temples, and tens of thousands of shops waiting for us in the city of Alexander. I also heard that there is a valley full of imperial tombs there. Maybe after we kill the Pharaoh's enemies, we can go there to try our luck, which is much more stable than gambling money!" Li Bida's words immediately aroused the cheers and smacking of the soldiers. Even if they didn't understand words, they understood these meanings in their companions' dialects.
"So I need your allegiance. I swear blood in front of the statue of King Numa, and believe that your flag is the noblest. Follow the Thousand-man brigade of the 12th Legion, wherever they charge, you will follow. Your general is the best, General Petterneus, who has thirty years of service experience, and I became a fighting hero under his baton. Hebrida was a legend in the Eastern battlefield. The king of kings fled when he saw him. Sabokemus was the master of men I brought in Spain. He was the goddess of wisdom of Minerva.
Descendants...Believe me, after contacting the enemy twice, if you are still alive, you will know that they are vulnerable. The other side of the strait is the first barrier that hinders us from going to Egypt. In Cyprus, there is the most abundant temple of love in Europa. The statue of the goddess is covered with gold and diamonds inlaid with diamonds worth a total of 600. When we enter the capital Salamis, I will indulge you for three days and three nights. I promise that under the protection of King Numa, you may be worthless when you come out, but when you return, you will make a fortune!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hebrida drew his sword and stabbed a few swords at the neck of the black bull, then slashed its belly, took out its steaming internal organs, and was still in front of the priest of Ephesus. This priest did not come from any aspect, but was from the temple of the hunting goddess that Li Bida had donated to repair. The result was self-evident. The priest shouted the result of divination from the internal organs and intestines - "The whole of Cyprus and Egypt will become the prey of King Numa!"
The soldiers shouted excitedly!
This was a really tacky speech, Sabo Kemus teased in his heart, but he must admit that the scene depicted by these words was indeed full of temptation and excitement for soldiers who had not yet experienced the battle formation, and perhaps this might not be a bad thing for them.
A catapult with the tail of the flue passed over Anthony's eyes that had just opened, with a crisp roar. The "evil plague" was soaking, covering her temples that were still beating, feeling her eyes bulging out. The wine was really strong, and then she stood up slowly on the bumpy deck. He held the side of the boat, and the originally upside down the sea and sky line gradually turned straight.
On the sea, there were ships hanging across the golden cobra logo sails, like the feathers of crows, slashing waves and charging towards the beach in the northeast corner of Cyprus Island. On the platform there, a small number of Cyprus troops were shooting rockets and throwing stones with their ships. Some ships had already rushed to the beach like wild beasts that had broken their heads. The soldiers on both sides of the ships, who had originally tied their own ropes with ropes, untied the ropes and jumped off the beach with gears. Unlucky land fell directly into the water. "Bitch, why did you jump down without gears and weapons!" The centurions holding shields were vaguely heard complaining loudly.
"Cyprus, the beautiful love god of Paphos, I, Marco Anthony, is here!" Anthony was also excited. He was at the flagship of Kasio and Li Bida. He kept burping and walked to the bow of the ship in a vague manner. "Your Excellency, you cannot do this. It is my duty to protect the legion flag." In the terrified voice of the thirteenth legion's flag officer, the drunken Anthony took over the lion flag in his hand and swayed and roared hysterically at the other soldiers with fear expressions. "I know that the wine in Cyprus is the best. Let us all drink it happily at the dock of Salamis!"
"What is this turtle turtle doing?" Li Bida at the bridge covered his helmet and shouted to the swordsman beside him, "Pull this guy back, that location is very dangerous."
