"My husband is my most precious decoration. He has been the general of Athens for twenty years." - The wife of the ancient Greek general Faución, Faución,

Although they were prisoners, the two Pompeii's maritime generals were treated well by Anthony, and they were warmed by fire, and also sent chestnuts and wine to fill their hunger. Most of the army soldiers brought by Maximus were drowned in the sea because they were wearing armor and were not familiar with water. Most of the people survived were the paddlers recruited from Rhode Island. Many of them were very familiar with Anthony or Libidaus's subordinates. Because they were considered fellow countrymen, Anthony promised not to kill them without presenting Caesar, and once the face-to-face war was over, they would be sent back to their hometown.

During this sudden hurricane, most of the fleet that Pompei came to intercept were damaged, and the rest were in groups of three or three, not bothering to fight and hid in the sheltered harbor.

The paddlers and soldiers ignited a huge bonfire in the area where Anthony was located, which sent a signal to gathering the teams scattered ashore everywhere. At night, the soldiers of the Legion, including dozens or hundreds of them, were all in ships and sampans. They wade ashore under the strong wind and suffered a lot, but finally most of them survived.

But there were always more than a thousand veterans led by Wendyth and did not come to meet, which made Anthony worried. You should know that the number of these veterans was almost one-third of the existing legion of Caesar, and the quality was even more backbone. If Pompei's men discovered and were annihilated, it would be a great loss.

"Where are we now?" Anthony found the two prisoners who were roasting the fire and shook them and asked.

This was the second time that Marclus was captured. He originally surrendered to Li Bida during the siege of Marcelia, but then ran to the east to join Pompei because he was always a staunch republican. When Anthony asked him, he was confused. Because it was the first time he brought the fleet to fight, it was really unclear.

But Maximus, who has been in this sea area, replied that there was originally a northwest wind, and you could arrive in Apollonia from Brindisi, but since the previous wind direction was slightly more than the southwest wind, I predict that my current direction might be in the area between Dikhaqiang and Apollonia.

When the centurions asked Anthony whether he would go deeper southeast to meet with Caesar's brigade, he refused: "Now we only have personnel and a small number of weapons left, and even most of the horses were lost. At present, we should gather good people and horses, regardless of the direction, find the nearest town to obtain supplies, so that we can better resist Pompey's counterattack, because if this person is right, we will be in an area where Pompey and Dick Thiddou are intertwined, and we must be guarded against the enemy's raiders and cavalry. As for the rendezvous with Dick Thiddou, I heard that he has stabilized his situation for the time being, so just wait. Anyway, we have come to Greece, everyone! Then fight and rob, and find a new luggage bag first."

The good news came in the early hours of the morning, and Wendyth sent a cavalry who had connected the line - his veterans, who not only successfully arrived ashore safely, but also retreated Pompey's cavalry garrison in the city of Reshas and captured the town.

It turned out that after Libida used the strategy of discord to let Gabinus "strengthen" the right wing, the fortification of Caesar and Calenus was a diagonal line, so Rabinus changed his tactical plan and sent cavalry and servants to detour to the river valley roads that Caesar's army could not blockade in the north, constantly eroding the local market towns, preparing to detour the way to Olicomb as soon as possible - and Caesar, the newly defeated, calmed down and took a ignorant attitude towards Rabinus's behavior. The city of Rishas is one of the newly captured towns, and it is only six Romans from where Anthony came ashore, while Olicomb is in its forty Romans northwest.

Last night, after Wendys's men arrived, they were attacked by 600 Pompeii cavalry from Rishas. Most of them were recruited from Bitinia. At first, these cavalry shouted Latin, saying that they sympathized with these enemy who were shipwrecked. As long as they were willing to put down their weapons and surrender, they would not be harmed. Warmly, Wendys believed that since these cavalry came in the dark, it would be impossible to stop without cutting off their heads, so they were all lies. So he gathered hundreds of veterans, first shouting for false words, and then quietly prepared the weapons and occupied the favorable terrain. No one was deceived by the other party's lies, and they all had the awareness of fighting to the death.

However, the four hundred people on the other two ships were all recruits who were replenished before going to war. They were timid and shook, and despite the reprimand of the commander, they ran to the enemy cavalry to surrender, and most of them were brutally killed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wendyth and his troops approached quietly, suddenly knocked on the shield weapon, made a terrifying cry, launched a short charge at the enemy cavalry, killed dozens of their men, seized many horses and baggage, and the rest turned to escape. Then Wendyth met with other veteran teams, determined not to wait for Anthony, and advanced quickly. At the dawn, he occupied the empty Rishas, ​​because the cavalry who had originally stationed here were scared and threw the town and fled.

Anthony, who was overjoyed, immediately arrived in Rishas with thousands of troops near noon and set up a formation. After receiving the news, the follow-ups rushed here to meet. About three days later, all the legions were assembled, and there were not more than a thousand people who lost their troops due to crossing the sea. More than half of them were frightened by the enemy's bluff and captured and killed because of their timidity.

After another market day, Li Bida's successors of three legions stationed in Ravenna also landed in Sarona, and the city of Isa was intact - the Greek war zone. Caesar's lonely crisis was finally changed. His power at hand reached ten legions again. Although he was still missing Pompei's side in terms of complete organization, Caesar's confidence in the decisive battle returned!

In the camp behind the wall, he summoned Li Bida and delivered the latest military order to him: the fortifications here are completed and Pompei's army cannot be compromised for the time being, so you took your direct troops to Rishas and Anthony's army to gather, first seize the time to remove the city of Olicom, and then gather with you three legions (Six, Thirteenth and Fifteenth legions) that crossed the sea further north, and then split into two, you took a group to sweep the northern region of Thessalia, while Anthony led a group south to join me, and launched a sweep towards the southern region of Ettoria.

"I tried to attack me from the circumference, but I still cured him, and strangled the center of his throat, and surrounded him from both wings!" Caesar said fiercely.
