Chapter 9 Breaks at a Touch (Part 2)

The villagers on the Takun Plain were the first to see the Caesars cavalry holding the flag of King Numa at the second day of the morning the next day.

This was probably the third army that the Roman people saw fully armed into the city of Rome. The first was the Gaul invaders led by Brenus three hundred years ago; the second was the ** regiment led by Sula thirty years ago, at least the number of the legion belonged to the "Roman Republic".

Li Bida intentionally chose to enter from the Takun Plain. After he did not see any organized enemy interception along the way, his courage became stronger and faster, and the cavalry advanced faster and faster. He even threw the legion flags and infantry behind him. However, when he arrived in this vast plain area, he instantly ordered the cavalry behind him to slow down and try not to let the black people and blondes in his subordinates completely scare away the surrounding villagers.

Fortunately, slowly, the villagers began to surround the sides of the road and began to point fingers at the cavalry outfits, skin color and totem logos. Li Bida, who was walking in the front of the queue, took out a few silver coins from the saddle bag and threw them to a few children, asking them to guide them through the swamp, enter the Serbian walls northwest of Rome, and take the path to the Grand Plaza by the Mars God of War Grand Field.

Because Sula entered from the Plintina gate, in order to avoid irritating many still alive Roman citizens, Li Bida took the opposite path this time. In the evening, the brass helmet of the Thirteenth Legion reflected light in the sunset and rushed up one after another. Then the infantry and cavalry teams mixed together and camped in the plains of Takun. Compared with the countless bonfires and smoke rising in the camp at night, the Roman city in Li Bida's eyes was completely integrated with the night at night. It was 100% dead silent.

Rome is indeed lifeless now.

More than a dozen strong elite soldiers (the mobile troops under the command of each legion have about three to four hundred men. They guard the flags during the march and serve as reserve forces during the battle. In return, they enjoyed several times the salary and exempted from the obligations of equipment). They pushed the Serbian gate with a humming hum. The earliest city gate axis was difficult to rotate, but at the end there was a loud bang, and the hole suddenly opened. Groups of crows living on the tower flew up in a scream, making a sound.

"The reason we came here was just because the consul owed our legion a triumphal. Since Pompey was unwilling to meet us at the end of the main square, we came by ourselves!" Then, the soldiers of the Thirteenth Legion, carrying equipment and weapons and shields, except for the cavalry left behind. They camped outside the city in the suburbs to prevent accidents, the rest of the infantry entered the streets of Rome in the order of the 100-man team, shouted slogans, and the arcades on both sides clamped the march route.

It was extremely narrow, and several children ran to the front, wearing masks (their adults were afraid that their children would be retaliated for their appearance), waved the money in their hands, and guided the way forward of the Thirteenth Legion. Otherwise, many people might get lost in this city with roaming intestines. However, 99% of the shops closed the doors, and even many windows were nailed to death by wooden boards. On the cold street, there were only the sound of military shoes storming.

Not long after, the main square was full of soldiers wearing military shoes and red cloaks. Li Bida came across the crowd on a horse, and then came to Julia's synagogue. He got off the horse, held the whip in his hand, and looked around. The core area of ​​the former most lively Roman city, now there are only soldiers wearing helmets. After pushing open the gate of the synagogue, Li Bida wiped the doors and windows with his hands and found that there was no dust. It seemed that the elders had abandoned the assembly hall and had not escaped too far. I believe that many people were still here for a night before Pompey evacuated, he was hesitating and fighting. This scene made him feel a little bit more aware.

Immediately, he personally took the hook pen from the document, took out the plaque from the podium of the synagogue, and carved the new "Akuta" on the spot. "Lebidaus, the commander of the 13th Legion, is deemed to announce the declaration on behalf of His Excellency Julius Caesar. This time, he will never make an announcement of the enemy when entering the city. Therefore, the original veterans, including those who followed Pompei and Xiao Katu, will still retain their identity, positions and assets as long as they return on the way out of the city.

The following ten targets were obtained, namely Pompeii, Gatu, Bolus, Cruz, Marseilles, Dumigos, Scipio, and Gebinus, all of whom were the culprits of instigating the war. The rest of the generals and officials were forced to forgive them." After writing, Li Bida asked to concentrate all the writings in the entire legion, and each person distributed a few silver coins, copied all his Akuta content on the papyrus, and posted them in the square and market in the evening.

When it was almost night, some soldiers opened their mouths wide and turned Akuta in their hands, not sure what direction to stick. Other soldiers were dissatisfied with the commander's order to concentrate in the main square to camp in the main square, so they spread their anger in the synagogue, dragged out all the wooden boards and seats that had originally engraved the laws and announcements, smashed them, and made fires in the square to keep warm.

The "Akuta" of this official publication created by Caesar was quite fast, because Li Bida's announcement was clearly written, and even the main targets were stated, and it was clearly stated that it would not be arbitrarily issued public enemy declarations similar to the time of the Civil War of Marosura to protect good property. As a result, on the next day, veterans came to the synagogue with uncertain expressions. They saw that Li Bida sat upright in the courtyard, on the seat of the veteran chairman, with a fighting sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword was rotating on the marble floor, making a buzzing sound. On the side of his seat, there were guards with black skin and thick lips carrying short bows, and on the other side were centurions with a cockscomb helmet with a fleshy face.

These veterans rubbed their hands and rushed to Li Bida first. No, through him, he told Caesar that he had definitely been bewitched, deceived and even coerced. Now he saw that Caesar's commander could strive to restore order in the city and listen to their stories with great kindness and patience.
