Katu's confidence comes from the "martial law order" jointly issued by the two consuls. Under this order, all legions must leave the thirty Roman positions outside the city of Rome. If the martial law is not lifted for a day, any soldier of the legion, even the governor or commander, will not be allowed to return to the city, because the legion tattoo can easily identify his identity.

In the past, three monsters joined forces, but the Republicans could not do anything to them. Now that there is only one left to deal with Caesar, Katu naturally thinks that it is much more convenient.

The martial law will continue until the results of the consul's election come out and then be lifted. What needs to be cared about is how to jointly push Dumigos and Marcelas to the throne and defeat Caesar's candidate Helscius. "If it was Claudi before, we still need to be afraid of it. This countryman from Sicily is probably just a 'guest'."

The princess is a term used by Romans when he was running for consul, which means candidates who are completely qualified to set off.

Everyone was overjoyed, and Xiao Jiatu still felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart. The Li Bida, who suddenly disappeared from the surface world, sneaked into the cold and dark underwater cave, but the fierce light emitted by his eyes that were eager to hunt was a little trembling - what was his intention?

After the autumn, Li Bida's thoughts and whereabouts, not to mention the Republicans, Curio, the civil guard who had been secretly interacting with him, was still unable to figure out his mind. He kept visiting Paladin Mountain or the Villa Pulaima. He hoped to meet with Li Bida, but he never got what he wanted. Even Claudiya didn't know the whereabouts of this person. Some people said that this mysterious Duzhi official went to the military camp outside the city to prepare for the triumphal ceremony during the God of the Governors Festival, but Curio didn't believe it. He always felt that he could smell this person in the air, in the streets, in the arena, in the racecourse, and in the rows of apartments.

At the same time, this season is also a critical time for the election to be intensified. Curio can see the team that pulls votes and buys votes on the street every day. The Republicans seem to have spent a lot of money for this election. Even Xiao Katu, who usually smells the smell of civilians in the air on weekdays, began to speak on the street. Although the topic is still inseparable from the pedantic words "republic", "honor", "citizen obligation", etc., for many people who hope to get close to the incarnation of the Republic. His ability to show up in public can bring great joy.

Finally, even the former consul who hated Pompei the most was excluded by Caesar during his election year. He was called the "Year of the Joint Reign of Caesar and Julius" and became a laughing stock. Now he is also publicly speaking, willing to take out half of his property to support Marcelas (this man from Pompeii and a vanguard against Caesar) as elected, even Bibruce on the streets. He also said to other veterans and knights, "If the Republic is really in danger, I am willing to give up all my past grudges and recommend the great Pompei to take Dick Thito, because someone (obviously referring to Caesar) has become an enemy as cruel as ancient Gaul. If he is not stopped and punished, he will inevitably rob Capito's Mountain with a beast-like legion."

In Curio's eyes, the republicans were already unstoppable, but what surprised him was that the Sicily candidate Haiercius was still very resilient. Although this fat man had a lot of bad records in the past and even smashed rotten eggs by the people when he canvassed votes on the street, he was still persisting, clumsy and persistently pleasing everyone - he constantly sponsored festival competitions, bought sword slaves from Mauritania or Thrace, and since childhood

Ya bought leopards and tigers, and elephants from Aphilica. He held money-burning performances again and again in the Colosseum left by Crasso or the Grand Theater built by Pompey. He sent slaves to hold basket boxes containing small gifts (some are small silver coins, some are baked bread) one by one to the people who came to watch. "Please sponsor one vote for Helssius, and please sponsor one vote for Helssius!"

In Xiao Jiatu's eyes, this guy is just stupid. The money was probably sent by Caesar, right? But how could the people trust a foreigner who can't even explain the policy clearly!

But the next direction surprised everyone - although it was not obvious, the votes from Haierciusla were indeed growing steadily, especially the votes from various Italian alliance towns. After a month, Haiercius's votes, after precise statistics by Xiao Katu's staff, began to be close to the income of his brother-in-law Dumijius.

"What's going on! Maybe it's Li Bida who's making trouble behind his back again." Xiao Jiatu's forehead was sweating and cursed. When he heard the news, even Pompei couldn't sit still. After sitting in the chair and pondering for a while, he said, "The time to use reserve troops has come - all the soldiers who asked me to vote!"

What, will Caesar catch the handle of the conversation and attack us? Catholic and Marseilles asked such a question, but Pompey pretended to be inaudible, just emphasized that in order to save the Republic and defeat Caesar, some extraordinary means must be used, and some laws can be adapted.

As a result, the matter was soon exposed. It was not someone else who exposed the matter. It happened to be the current CEO Banks. He directly wrote Pompei's book in the Senate and humiliated the other party in public. Pompei could only suffer a loss: even though Banks might have received a high bribe from Caesar, the matter itself was indeed against justice. Facing Banks' questioning, he was speechless.

"If similar situations happen again, I will issue a decree to lift the martial law. Then you can compete with Caesar. Whoever has more soldiers, the troops of the whole Republic do not have to guard the front line, and return to the city to vote in turn." Banks's words were sarcastic. The anti-Pompey figures in the Senate, Sipinger, Bisso, Barcelona, ​​and Scipio, and Scipio were all making excuses. Pompey covered his face with sleeves on his seat, which was extremely embarrassing.

The news that Pompei asked the soldiers to return to the city to vote was soon caused new waves. Caesar, who learned about this on the front line of Gaul, immediately wrote an open letter to the Tebres Association, asking the civil guard Barthus to read it aloud in public, and angrily accused Pompei of having sex with Catholic Catholics. The condemnation was heard at the meeting, and another even more terrifying news came: Caesar personally led a legion to openly arrive at Arimilon, confronting Libo, who guarded Etruscana, and claimed that he requested the Senate or the People's Association to vote on the bill he cared for as soon as possible, "It's better to be fair and reasonable!"
