"Light infantry is the hands, cavalry is the legs, heavy infantry is the torso, and generals are the head." - Athenian General Iphrakti

But these cheers spread to the cape. When Rabinus heard this disgusting shout, he walked to the deck of the stern. He held the sail rope and looked at Caesar and Libida immediately on the cliff of the cape on the shore. "You have finally become an ambitious slave, Julius!"

Similarly, looking at the fleeing Pompei fleet on the sea, Li Bida pounded the saddle hard and said to Caesar that our fleet would not arrive a few days later, otherwise Pompei's army would not be able to escape one by one deck today, "rather than letting go of an elite army and continuing to cause trouble for our expedition to Afirica."

"Okay, my friend, the war in Greece has been pacified, and if the sword cannot be solved, it must be solved in the synagogue - Pompey is no longer able to do it, I will no longer regard him as his primary enemy. He has lost Spain and Greece, and the East, and has lost nearly ten legions. Now he can only stay in Africa and companion with elephants, but even more difficult enemies will appear." In the sea breeze, the only hair left on Caesar's head was still motionless, and he said with some sigh.

"Who else in the entire Republic can be an enemy of you?" Li Bida took the opportunity to pretend to be surprised.

Caesar concentrated for a while, and then said, "There is, the Republic, the Republic is my last enemy."

After hearing this, Li Bida immediately remained silent. Caesar stopped talking. Then he asked Li Bida what he thought of his previous admonition to the Ninth Legion.

"We should have revived our momentum. Both legions are in good shape now. As long as we complete the replenishment exercises in the winter camp, we will definitely make contributions to you in the coming year."

"No, you are actually saying in your heart that Caesar is a two-faced person, one for the generals and another for the soldiers, and he is unwilling to take responsibility in front of the civilian army. But why should I do this? Because the people and soldiers are the easiest to buy. Therefore, they are also the people with the least obligation and responsibility. You must constantly give them, feed them into gluttonous monsters, and then when you have no more to give, you can only sacrifice yourself. The Republic has long deteriorated,

I hope to turn the tide with my own strength, but I don’t know yet whether this kind of rescue itself will cause more terrifying damage to it. In the end, I may become the enemy of the Republic. The most unconscious but perhaps the most conscious enemy." After Caesar finished speaking, he smiled bitterly. Then he said to Li Bida, "But we still have to go on, right? Those who continue to walk on this dark journey ahead and want to control their destiny will always be stupid."

"Your Excellency, I agree with your opinion. There is only one corpse left in the Republic." Li Bida suddenly continued the topic. "Its corpse smell can even be clearly smelled by the leather maker in the countryside. What will eventually fly out in this rotten body? It is a maggot with fat intestines, a vicious hornet..." Speaking of this, he stared at Caesar and whispered, "Of course I hope to fly out of the reborn Pherix, Your Excellency. So please continue to lead our side to fight until it has the power to reshape the country." After that, he made a gesture of loyalty, expressing his determination to follow the dictator to fight to the end.

Caesar smiled and said, "Are you not liking to listen to me, the old man complaining now? I just started to say that I was interrupted by you like this. Is it really okay? Then he said, of course, and pointed his finger to the east, "Since the winter camp was cancelled at a heavy price, then the victory of Cokura City must be used well - I am going to leave the Ninth Legion and the Eleventh Legion to stay on this coast, and Curio finally began to send a fleet to fight the Pompei fleet of Afriga, preparing for landing and restraining. Then you and I will go

Four legions, you should continue to go to the Cessalia and the northern Macedonian line, and then hand over all the negotiation rights with Illyria, Thrace and Asia Minor barbarian kingdoms. Your duty is to pursue Scipiona's three frightened legions, annihilate them, stop at Ephesus in Little Asia, and then cooperate with our allies to eliminate the Bosphorus kingdom that participated in Pompeii; I will go to the southern line of Athens, Crete, and Rhodes, and pursue Gabinus and Marcelas, and by the way, with the threat of victory, he will force Ptolemy and Herod to surrender again."

"There are chambers of commerce that I am familiar with in the Cyrene city. They will provide you with sufficient ships and food. It is just General Dehimos of the Syrian province. He has several legions, but his attitude is always extremely high. Of course, he also has sufficient reasons to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, because the threat from Parthia to the border always exists." Li Bida said, and by the way, he tested Caesar's tone towards Dehimos.

"Don't worry, Dihemoth is one of the people I trust the most. His hesitation is understandable. As long as my eagle flag and ship appear in Alexander, he will come to serve me allegiance, not to mention that he is also a candidate for the Governor of Gaul next year." Caesar was about to dispel Li Bida's doubts, but the other party was thinking in his heart why this important position of governor was not for me to assume.

A few days later, Caesar and all the generals, entered Apollonia further north, in amid flowers and applause, where a team consisted of former consul Banks, and the guardian Helssius, and each of them wore a crown of osmanthus and a garland, claiming that they had received the collective authorization of the ten guardians to visit Caesar on behalf of the people of the Republic, "requested Dirkth to extend the dictatorship for six months."

"What should I do with the election of the consul? I don't want to have a blank period of normal political order in the Republic because of my love in this position." Caesar, who stood beside his seat humbly, declined the request of the representative team.

But then Helsios spoke in a strong Sicily accent and said that the consul's election would be carried out as scheduled and that it would not "interference" with Dirkutou's ongoing military operations to fight against traitors, and would only do its best to support it - once Dirkutou's six-month term ends, the two consuls can take over the state's power, and there will be no flaws in doing so.

Caesar nodded reluctantly, and then asked everyone present about the change of the governor to come next year. Banks said he also hoped that the current governor would return to Rome in the winter camp and conduct a lottery ceremony under the supervision of the Senate's supervisor Pinzeel.

"No need to be so troublesome." Caesar said suddenly, then he looked at the shocked people present, repeated the sentence, and added an explanation, "Soldiers are of great speed, and all provincial governors will be identified by Dick Thidd now!"

Then he took the bronze bar from the military slave and handed it directly to Anthony around him, "You will become the governor of the Illyria region and continue to be responsible for the food supervision of the city of Rome."
