"I won't steal my victory." - Alexander before the Battle of Gogamela

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Anthony!" I go, it's so great. Did Marco Anthony really hang some here? There was a mess on the deck. Li Bida, who was almost knocked off the bridge, held the simple railing, untied the rope twisted around his neck in a dusty face, and then held the 45-degree tilted boat railing with Kassi, looking down. The beach was full of soldiers thrown out. Some adjusted their postures, grabbed the shield beside them, and crawled up to find the chief. Some were injured, and hid somewhere with the bloody injured part.

"Can your civil guard be killed in the first battle? This is not a good sign." Kassio, who was there, wiped the blood on his forehead and smiled against the railing.

Damn, just as Li Bida searched for Anthony's body everywhere, suddenly this guy whipped his head out of the shallow water full of wooden boards, swayed his hand and grabbed the lion flag of the Thirteenth Legion, and pulled up the unlucky flag officer next to him, "Oh my God, Guardian, please don't drag me anymore. My legs are cracked, please!" The flag officer shouted after being dragged to the beach. Anthony's head seemed to be in the sea water.

After thrilling, he took a small round shield and dagger from the flag-holder, held the lion flag and shouted at the officers and soldiers who were waiting for the opportunity on the beach: "Don't hesitate, all the soldiers followed the tenth captain, all the tenth captain followed the centurion, and then everyone followed my flag. For Fulivia, for Paphos's God of Love!" After that, the civil guard held the legion flag and rushed towards the high platform where the Cyprus army was located.

This was simply a miracle. After Fu general Anthony followed his 13th Legion and came to the high platform, he discovered that there were only one or two hundred archers who resisted here. After seeing the Romans killing, they all surrendered under the leadership of the commander.

Then the subsequent Thousand-Man brigade of the 12th Legion came. In the evening, Li Bida was already standing on the platform in the northeast corner of the island and said to Petternius with a gilded baton, "You and Anthony lead the legion. In the future, I will advance inland. I will allocate Dussenvier's affiliated cavalry brigade to you. I will lead the Thousand-Man brigade to serve as the first team and refuse. The entire army directly advances directly into Salamis in the south without any hesitation."

"Yes, don't worry. I will defeat all the resistance in front of me. In about ten days, you will ride a white horse into Salamis, I promise." Petternius reached out to salute and replied readily.

The Romans' raid was very effective. Ptolemy of Cyprus always thought that Gatto was still in peace talks with him, so he did not organize effective resistance at all. The mercenaries scattered in the towns along the way were either easily defeated by Petternius like lightning or surrendered on the spot. They didn't even have time to burn the bridges and post stations along the way, and a lot of supplies fell into the hands of Li Bida's army, "Hey, join the Thirteenth Army, join the Thirteenth Army.

Come in and learn simple Latin commands, don’t violate the command of the chief. If you can pick up swords and spears, each person will immediately distribute fifty drakma silver coins." The scale officer who followed behind was only concerned with stuffing money at the hands of surrendered Cypriot soldiers, luring them into joining, and the officers remained in office. Many Egyptian and Syrian mercenaries, after receiving the money, changed their Latin names casually and advanced to Salamis with the Thirteenth Legion.

"Dear Sabo. Can you tell me what specialties are there on this beautiful island?"

"The noble commander of nature has excellent wood, olives, and it starts with the cultivation of grain and grapes. It has plenty of sunshine and of course rich copper ores. You should know that this island means the land of copper. In addition, the Great Temple of Love in Paphos is a miracle of the whole world!" Sabo, who was riding next to Libida, unexpectedly saw that the battle was progressing so smoothly, and he was in an extremely relaxed mood.

"You said, can I ask Pharaoh to be the governor of Cyprus immediately?" Li Bida was obviously greedy and became more and more demanding.

"It's totally OK, but after we enter Alexander, you have to know that the real Egyptian army is not as vulnerable as the ones on this island... I sincerely suggest you..." Just as Sabo was about to open up his conversation, Li Bida raised his hand to the back and said that the trumpeter would have a passionate and joyful Etruscan tune. Then the cheerful music sounded, and the soldiers couldn't help but speed up. Sabo shook his head helplessly in the trumpet and decided to make his own suggestions during the joint meeting in the evening.

On the seventh day, the two legions arrived at the scenic city of Salamis. Then, Libida rode his horse and just arrived at the camp of the Thirteenth Legion. He heard that "the chief centurion and the guardian of the civil servant, Mr. Anthony, had rushed in with a small number of soldiers when he saw the gates wide open. Petterneus and General Dussenvier also followed in."

"Aren't you afraid of fraud?" At this time, Li Bida handed over the command stick to Tagus and instructed him, "Turn in with the Spanish Swordsman Guard as soon as possible and ask them to march cautiously. I will arrive after a short rest with the Thousand-Man Team."

When the flag of Li Bida's Thousand-Man Team appeared at the city gate, half of Salamis was trapped in the fire, and there were robbery soldiers everywhere. Li Bida covered his face and probably knew something - Ptolemy of Cyprus had escaped, and the whole city was handed over to him, and the lottery of the trophy belonged to Hebrida and Anthony.

But when the promise was fulfilled, Li Bida tactfully asked all soldiers to go for three days, but the prerequisite was that human trafficking was not allowed, nor was it allowed to burn houses again, and green pine branches were hung on the houses that had been looted to prevent them from being robbed.

"There are more than seventy Tarants who have been paid to the Legion's vault now, and the rest are all included in the soldiers' pockets or auctioned. In addition, there are about two hundred ships and more than a thousand pack horses to join the Legion. Because the soldiers felt it was troublesome to carry, they still knocked off all the bronze bows and anchors and sold them for discounts."

"Well--oh, by the way? Where is the Brutu? Didn't he follow me to count the seized supplies? Also, did Salamis find any huge royal vault? Otherwise, what would be enough to get a robbery?" Li Bida, who was drinking the bean soup, suddenly remembered and asked Sabo who was reporting to the other side politely.

"His Excellency Brutu is surrounded by many people who copy books, and there are a lot of packing horses and luggage, and probably still in the north to work hard to go here." Sabo said with a little sarcastic expression, "It is unlikely to keep up with our pace. I will arrange a man to give him the thirty-five Tarants he deserves-as for the soldiers' private looting, we and him have no right to interfere."
