After learning about Marclus' defection, Xiao Jiatu was speechless. Then he locked himself in the room for a long time. It is said that he had watched the ancestral teachings for a long time, and then walked out and finished his only meal in a day. He was a person who would definitely do what he said. Then he sighed to his personal slave: "There are always people who can't hold on to their determination in the moment before the infinite light comes, and fall into the boundless abyss of darkness. Marclus is a typical example. I really misread him..."

But then he began to think seriously while eating. Marclus's departure would inevitably sell the real and defense points in the city to Li Bida. Then he found Dumigos and Terria and asked sincerely how to make up for this kind of thing. As a result, the two of them looked at each other, and Terria still smiled maliciously and said to Gatu in a sarcastic tone: "My dear Lord, do you think that our side lacks the matter until now.

The supply matter is still a "secret" for Li Bida? Moreover, this is the city defense of Marcellia. It has no imperfections or incompleteness, as long as the soldiers can eat enough, they can guard it. In addition, Pompei's fleet is a certain fact. Battle is not a speech in the Roman political arena. Politicians can reject the previous statement at any time. Battle is to pray to the gods after they are properly deployed and strive to win!”

Xiao Katu was speechless. Then Dumijius suggested that the ships we recruited in Sicily had been completely repaired. I think that once the Pompei fleet arrived, they could meet them at the Fortress of the Tauroas Island and fight with the Libida fleet.

Sure enough, in May weather, the fleet near Spain broke through the natural obstacles on the sea. Under the leadership of Avranius's deputy general Nasidius, a total of sixteen light and heavy ships came from the West and anchored on the island of Tauroas. Several scout boats under the command of the brave Aidangis, after a detailed reconnaissance, transmitted the news to Li Bida as soon as possible.

Li Bida was determined to start a decisive battle at sea with the city of Marcellia and Pompei reinforcements once again.

This idea happened to be possessed by Dumijius. "This battle is inevitable. I have already established the idea of ​​success." This is what Dumijius said to his subordinates Crien and the armed slaves. After learning that Nassidius came to the sea outside the city, he immediately organized the manpower and drove the flagship that had been severely damaged before, but now repaired, out of the harbor. He was wearing the most gorgeous armor and stood strikingly on the towering bridge. Behind him were forty or fifty warships of various colors, all covered with Marcellan crew members and Albissi barbarians.

The high grounds and temples on both sides of the Marcelian harbor were full of young men who came to see them off. They raised their hands and loudly encouraged all the warriors who went to war, while the women, the elderly and the children all lie on the steps of the Temple of Hercules, begging the gods to protect them from victory, and begging that General Pompei's reinforcements would continue to flow, like the tide of the sea.

Dumijius looked back and saw that among the crowd that saw farewell, his brother Xiao Katu was also there. He was thin and short like an ugly and strong sea rock, constantly raising his arms towards him. Dumijius understood that this was the posture of a Roman gladiator, indicating that he wanted to fight to death. "The earliest gladiatorial competition was held in front of the grave of the deceased. It seems that the immediate naval battle is the same. Go with the confidence of dying, and there will be a glimmer of life."

On the island of Tauroas, Dumigos, who landed ashore without any interception, held a brief meeting with Nassidius, and was determined to go out to sea to fight the Libida fleet on the opposite Seymos Island immediately. "If the enemy cannot stop it, then ask for more reinforcements and supplies from Spain." The combat plan stipulates that Dumigos is responsible for the right wing, while Nassidius is responsible for the left wing assault.

But Nasidius obviously did not have the firm determination to die as determined as Dumijius. He talked about the difficulties of his ships lacking corners, but his expression was ignored by Dumijius, who was full of fighting crazes. Two days later, on a sunny day without wind and rain, Dumijius's joint fleet sailed from Tauroas. Of course, Li Bida also chose this day. After replenishing military supplies and ammunition and food, he stood in the newly repaired lighthouse and command room, and said this to all his subordinates:

"When they were strong, we had defeated them. Now the defeated army, how could we say that we were acting violent in front of our army?"

Then the fleet under Libida started to fight at full speed. This time, a large number of new Liguria and Sardinian ships participated in the battle, including eleven large warships with double decks. However, because the wood was not dry yet, it hurriedly started to fight, and its speed was not advantageous. Therefore, Libida judged the situation with the generals on the lighthouse and placed them all on the left wing to deal with Dumigos - because the enemy's right wing fleet obviously surpassed the slow left wing. "It seems that the reinforcements of the left wing Pompei lack fighting spirit. When their wings separated, my elite right wing attacked quickly!"

The fleets of both sides approached each other, and at this moment, almost all the citizens of Marcella climbed to the city near the sea and watched this naval battle that was about everyone's future. If they win, they would recover and return to heaven, and if they lose, they would be doomed.

In Dumigos' fleet, all the oarsmen, archers and javelins had a firm expression, and could even be said to be dull. If they died in this battle, they would at best take a step ahead of their friends in the city, especially the Albissi people, whose women, children and ancestors had already died at the hands of the traitors of Li Bida, and they had no idea.

In front of the Dumijius front line, the fleet of Liguria and Sardinian new army was led by commander Aidangis. Under the instruction of Li Bida, he ordered the entire army to line up in a strange formation, namely the "t" shape. All heavy ships were arranged in a row across the side. The paddlers all rested quietly, while the combatants above were flowing endlessly, and shouts came one after another. After the Dumijius fleet entered the range, the rockets, rocks and javelins maintained the widest firepower output in the sidewalk direction, and the fighting was like a splash of rain, dyeing the entire sea red. Many Dumijius light ships had not yet returned to their senses to rescue them and were sunk, but the rest of the ships still carried flames fearlessly and continued to rush forward.
