In the uninterrupted wind in the heart of Lusitania, a flag embroidered with a deer was fluttering in the wind. A certain market town surrounded by mountain walls was attacked by bandits who suddenly rushed from all roads. The walking bandits carried strong bows and arrows and shot rockets into all buildings from the beginning. The small fire quickly ignited into a big fire. The only road leading to the streets of the market town was cut off by light cavalrymen with simple bowl-shaped helmets or double-eared hats. These people were dressed in standard Lusitanian barbarian cavalry, each holding Spanish dog-legged knife in his hands, wantonly chasing the residents who were crying and running.

"The seventeenth one, the seventeenth one! Hahaha, I have been struggling for several years, and now I am indulging in happiness. I am the incarnation of General Sethuris. I will be resurrected twenty years later. I will seek revenge for Pompey!" On a colorful Spain, a bandit leader with neat armor shook his iron helmet with deer antlers on his head, shouting loudly, looking at the smoke and dust at the foot of the mountain, proudly.

As he said, this is the seventeenth Lusitanian market town robbed by Conbano. Originally, after the Jiangyang thief killed Papingna at the instruction of Li Bida, he absorbed many old subordinates of Sedouris, the former "one-eyed dragon" Sedouris, and took away many tribes who were still interested in this general and secretly surrendered to him. Therefore, he has been hiding in the mountains between Lusitania and far Spain, and he usually does some green forest activities. Anyway, this is not a strange thing on this land. He has been waiting for news from Li Bida from afar.

When the civil war broke out, Li Bida sent him information at the first time, so just like merchants who were proficient in internal information in all eras, Conbano first raised the flag here and gained a reputation and convenience. This guy used the guise of "Setoulis" to the outside world and said that the one-eyed general was not dead and had been dormant, waiting for the day when the Roman civilian party counterattacked. Now Caesar crossed the Rubicon River and the time came, so he rose again to kill and expel all the forces in Pompeii in Spain!

How to say, in that era, I really needed to rely on superstitious psychology to do anything. This was a routine that Li Bida had designed for him. To be honest, Sethulis was once very famous in Spain, so the fake Conbano had instantly had as many as 3,000 troops and thousands of horses, so he was active in the central part of Lusitania with his best guerrilla harassment war. However, although the tone was very high, Conbano was not a fool. He never attacked a tough fortress with garrisons, and basically did not cross the boundaries to seek bad luck in the Spanish provinces. In that case, Pompeii had a real elite regular army stationed, so the one who suffered for him was the new governor of Lusitania, Marcus Varo.

Varo, who was sixty-three years old at that time, was mature and majestic, in the "golden season", would boast to his friends, "I have written 380 books in Latin and Greek, covering dozens of subjects such as poetry, satirical poetry, literary theory, linguistics, science, geography, history, education, philosophy, law, theology, agriculture, etc. My ideal is to live to be eighty years old, with five hundred books, and then give all the works to the Pulaima study built by Lukulas during his lifetime. Don't

With any title, only one is needed, 'Roman's greatest naturalist Varo', that's it." But he was mediocre and incompetent in politics, and he was even more unable to do so in military affairs. In the past six months of war, Conbano's unscrupulous lightning plundering was broken, and he could no longer write and create. Announcing the urgent and complaining remarks everywhere, but he really couldn't understand the whereabouts of this bandit who claimed to be a one-eyed general. On the first day, he appeared in the city of Cardes, which was leaning against the strait, and on the second day, he would continue to plunder hundreds of Rome inside and outside.

Therefore, Old Varo could only defend the key points and throw the entire vast countryside away. In addition, although he was from the Pompei Party in the outside world, his secret relationship with Caesar was still close. Caesar held him like a boast of Cicero, "Even if you are eighty and want to leave this world, your luggage may require twenty most proficient Phoenician financial slaves, and you can't handle it. You should leave some for this ignorant world!" Caesar's flattery words always made him feel indescribable.

Therefore, although Varo held a regular legion in his hand and recruited a new legion in the Roman colony of Lusitania, he kept the two legions still and paid close attention to the changes in the current situation, because even he now understands that in such a chaotic world, those who have soldiers are kings.

His negativity made Conbano even more scrupulous. When the soldiers completely robbed the market town and placed all the coins and wine in the basket and placed them in front of him, the man smiled even happier. At this time, groups of cavalrymen wearing "Saganm" jackets in different colors and totem marks at the foot of the mountain shouted that they went up the mountain in various dialects, all of which were the small barbarian troops who came to join the "Setoulis" as agreed.

There was a Roman man named Saxosa who was always frowning and looked frowning, acting as a "master". Saxosa was originally a gambler and alcoholic, and also a guardian of the Governor Varo. When he went to the pro-Caesar tribe to collect heavy taxes for his master, he was arrested by Conbano and forced to be his staff, financial and statistician. Now Saxosa drooped his nose, which was always full of red wine, muttered the robbery and painted on the board. When he saw the new barbarians who came to join, he changed his face and complained a few words in Greek that Conbano could not understand, and began to count the number of new forces.

"Flois, you bastard, my request is that you came to join my team in Maoshishan three days ago, but after you received the order, you are now with other tribes. Are you Pompei's spy? You are a bastard who is untrustworthy and unpunctual!" Conbano suddenly saw Flois, the little chief he hated the most, and started to curse.

Flois, who came to join the group of thirty cavalrymen, was not willing to be outdone. He raised his whip and started to curse Conbano.
