"Since the Olikums decided to turn against each other, will they still care about the lives of the hostages? It is unwise to kill them at this time, and then negotiate the way out is unwise, and it has no effect except venting anger." Li Bida quickly rejected Kretas' request and asked him to inspect and supervise the progress of the fortifications with the captain Hanske of the cavalry, but soon the two of them reported that although all the citizens and soldiers were working hard, they were afraid that it would be difficult to improve the fortifications in less than two to three days.

After thinking about it, Li Bida immediately made up the process: The key to the battle in Sarona is to consolidate the defense and fight urgently afterwards, and the time must not be delayed for too long.

Then he found the city magistrate and asked if there were any bold and brave young nobles in the city. He replied that there was a man named Otachilius. He was a down-and-out and fell down earlier, but suddenly sued the mine owner of the gold mine in the suburbs. Because of some small holidays, he asked the mine owner to compensate him for 100,000 yuan of money for Seth to withdraw. In court, Otachilius served as a lawyer for himself, successfully provoked the other party's lawyer and pulled him into anger. As a result, the other party faced Otachilius during the key link of the debate.

He shouted: "Go, go and swear to your parents' ashes, so that I can believe your nonsense." As a result, Otakilius really called people, took his parents' urn, swearing to the urn in front of the jury and the judge, what he said was true, and asked the other lawyer to obey what he said just now. As a result, the court could only sentence Otakilius to win. The young man received a compensation of 100,000 Sesie's withdrawal, and began to study on Rhode Island, and has just returned.

Isn’t this kind of young man exactly what Li Bida needs? Li Bida called him, “Didn’t Dick’s meant to represent this country?”

"This is natural. I firmly believe that the Republic can only absorb elites from all places under the leadership of Julius. If Pompei and Gatu are as stupid as they are, the city of Rome will only become more and more closed and backward, and will always be a rural vegetable market on the hills." Otagilius replied happily.

Li Bida understood what he said on the spot and promised, "As long as you complete what I assigned, of course, the gods must bless the city to be fully committed. I will invoke you to Rome and enter the political arena. Then at least return to his hometown as a provincial financial officer."

"That's going to make you one of the twelve legal officers in Rome, my lord, better still an expatriate legal officer."

As the name suggests, the overseas Chinese legal officer happened to be a member of the rights and interests of foreigners and colonial cities. This happened to be the position Li Bida was trying to obtain in the creation of the official, and of course it also matched the characteristics he has now. Unexpectedly, Otakilius really thought what he thought.

At noon the next day, Lelias brought a mighty legion to a high ground outside Rome in the fifteenth of Sarona, and then many Illyria barbarians who came to see the wind also joined the general's team, because Lelias was also a one-eyed (the scar on his face undoubtedly made people mistakenly think it was). Therefore, these fierce and cruel barbarians, including the Tribalites, Scordises, and Librnas (they were sailing barbarians active in this sea-to-mountain mountainous land, and the name of the Roman double-row paddle boats came from them) all called this general "Polyfimas", which is the cyclops in ancient Greek mythology. According to legend, this giant and his wife and children were the ancestors of the Illyria region, and the name of this province came from Illyria's son.

During the reign of Caesar, these barbarians had a far better relationship with him than those of the Illyrian city and the chief executive. The 11th Legion was attacked by them and lost all its supplies and was defeated by Rilias's men. More than half of them were lost. Although Caesar had no spare time to punish these people, these barbarians still took the opportunity to turn to Pompei's side because they felt that Pompei was more tolerant of the barbarians.

In this way, Rilias divided the team into two groups, and the First Legion went to occupy Olikum City, preventing Libida's successor from going ashore; he took the Second Legion, took more than 4,000 barbarian servants, collected a large number of light ships from the Librna people, and set out from the sea outlet of Isa City, approaching Sarona City on land and water.

It happened that Otachilius also brought the so-called envoys to see Pompey's general, "There is only one way out for your city, that is, to surrender today." This is Rilias's request.

But Otakilius was very brave. He asked for the corresponding surrender conditions, which was to define Sarona as the capital of the province and replace the original capital Isa, which competed with his own cities in terms of navigation rights. Then Austen quoted the classics and talked endlessly about his city's unique advantages and history. He also said that Sarona controlled the channel leading to the inland mountains of Illyria. If Rilias wanted to wait for reinforcements from King Thrace, he had to rely on the help of their city.

Rilias has never been interested in these false communications. After he kept hearing these words patiently, he expressed the status and power of the city. After you surrender, he could go to Delphi to ask Marcelas for the ruling of this kind of thing. "And I only decided whether to accept your city peacefully or burn it down and level it."

The envoy looked very disappointed, and then he looked at the second best expression, asking the general to understand their difficulties. "We were all Crien of Caesar. If we handed over the city directly without resisting, we would suffer a great stain on the faith. So I hope that General, you can send a small team to pretend to fight our city for one day the next day, just pretend, and then on the dark day of September, that is, the third day, the priests of our city will formally surrender at the festival of Patina Goddess Day!"

"Don't play any tricks, is there any Libida's team already entering your city!" Rilias suddenly yelled, and then his guards drew their swords one after another, but Otakilius was still in a stable mood. Although the other messengers were so scared that they hugged each other, he pointed out very righteously that even the governor of Macedonia should not be so rude to a great city during wartime, let alone that he had not seen any Libida's army appear under the city.
