Chapter 17 Repayment of Rhode Islanders (Part 2)

"Also, send a signal to other ships, avoid my flagship and sail a little longer, I will take them to Ephesus, so I can't drown here." In a panic, Caesar could still take care of the problem of military strength after he got ashore, which really made his staff admire him with a grim face. In short, the dictator wants to attract the main force of the enemy fleet in exchange for the survival of the other ships, but the problem is that if the dictator dies in this naval battle, what's the use of saving more troops?

The violent collision and shaking interrupted all the imaginations of the General Zuo and his staff. Caesar's flagship rushed straight into the turbulent flow around the island. The hull was moving forward and rubbed violently with the reefs in the shallow water. The people on the deck rolled around, and the luck fell directly onto the sharp rocks in the screams. Blood splattered and dyed the turbulent sea water red.

"Your Excellency, I have to know where to go now, whether to go along the island or to the island?" The helmman and many crew members asked Caesar in a mad manner.

Caesar looked back and bit the huge flagship of Kasio, who was tightly tying behind him. The other party rushed into the turbulence, and the rockets and javelins shot from above him swished over his head, shrugged his shoulders and replied to the person who asked, "Then let you do it yourself. I hope the sea god is satisfied with everyone's sacrifice today."

As soon as he finished speaking, the paddler of Kasio exerted a short force, accelerated his speed, and rushed into the middle of the Caesar flagship that he was about to turn. The personnel on half of the deck of Caesar's ship rolled down like colorful glass marbles on the marble floor, and Caesar also fell under the bridge. He fell in a daze and was still calling out to his shield slave. "Hurry up, take my sword and shield. I hope my combat skills are not unfamiliar."

When the shaking Kasio flagship began to calm down, the iron anchor thudded and fell into the sea. Because the impact corner had already wedged deeply into Caesar's ship, the most important thing now is to hold it up. Then the crow suspension bridge was lowered, Brutu was the first to jump out, holding his sword, and shouting: "Run over and kill Julius."

"It's Brutu, it's Brutu, a bastard, what evil god is that let you face such a dangerous enemy in person?" Caesar saw Brutu's figure and couldn't help but speak with pain, and then he felt that his words were wrong. "Doesn't the dangerous enemy mean me?" At this moment, the veterans of the Ten Legions around Caesar skillfully and quickly held the shield and protected the dictator behind the shield wall. The guns and arrow feathers on it slid down one after another. At this moment, the wind direction changed. Caesar urgently ordered his ship to ignite the side of the ship, and the wind blew fireworks, spreading along the suspension bridge. The soldiers on the Kasio ship covered their faces violently and coughed, and for a while, they could not get on the deck of Caesar's ship.

Under the loud shouts of Brutu and Kasio, the soldiers covered their cloaks on their faces and were about to rush over on the crow suspension bridge. At this moment, another rapid drum beat came. Kasio turned his head and saw that in all directions of the island group, there were about twenty or thirty light long ships flying unique sea snake flags. "This is the ships of Rhode Island. Why do they appear here? Are they enemies or friends?" But before Kasio thought it through, the fleet of Rhode Island answered with practical actions, and their paddler crew members were more

Kasio's subordinates became more familiar with the sea conditions and currents in this area. They bypassed the intercepted ships without any effort, drilled into the turbulent streams between islands and reefs, occupied the direction of the tide, and rushed to Kasio's flagship. The sharp collision angles wedged the hull from all directions. Then the crew of Rhode Island was shaking the deck as if they were on the flat ground. They all came from this nautical city-state. They had been with the ocean since childhood, and they threw out iron hooks to pull the oars on the two floors of Kasio's ships down to pieces.

At this moment, Kasio panicked. Could it be that the goddess of fate was really one of the bald lovers of Julius? He ordered the fighters of the ship to fight to the death, but the Rhode Island fleet divided into several parts, blocking his subordinates from getting closer. He slowly cut his flagship with a bow and sickle, and the tide gradually became disordered. Kasio and all the crew, together with the four rows of paddle boats, could not move. Finally, Caesar launched an attack instead. His troops rushed up with the Rhode Islanders to capture Kasio and Brutu.

A naval battle that was in danger ended, with three hundred people killed in the Kasio side, while Caesar’s side lost only fifty people and several punts.

After the war, Rhode Island people told Caesar that many of them were previously swept by Marclus of Pompeii's camp and went to the war in Dikhaqiang's area to intercept Anthony. As a result, they encountered a hurricane and were all captured by Anthony. However, the other party was merciful and merciful and sent them a sufficient amount of travel expenses to return home. This time, the Rhode Islanders came to repay their kindness. Among them, the Rhode Islanders also officially recommended a Roman knight as the leader. This taxpayer named Hitius was the taxpayer protected by Li Bida. After the civil war broke out, he raised the flags in Cyprus and other places to resist Pompeii, but was defeated and fled. Now it is time to operate and are welcomed into the city by Rhode Islanders. "Where did Gabinus and Marcelas escape?" Caesar consulted Hitius about the concerns.

The other party replied that the two former consuls fled to Rhodes by boat a few days ago and asked the islanders to protect them, but were rejected by the Presbyterian Church of Rhodes and did not allow ships to enter the port, so they should continue to run towards Cyprus, "because it is bigger there after all, and their ships can sneak up on the island."

Caesar smiled and entrusted Hitius to temporarily manage Rhode Island, and then Kasio and Brutu were escorted to him by soldiers.

The dictator looked at the young and stubborn Brutu with a gentle and loving look. The other party was half ashamed and half angry, and turned his back to his back without touching Caesar's gaze.

As a result, Kasio half-kneeled happily, kissed Caesar's back of his hands and even toes, expressing his willingness to surrender to the dictator's camp. Brutu was extremely surprised by his friend's actions. He struggled to stop it, but it was too late, so he could only accuse Kasio of angrily, "Did you forget the overturn of the republic, the sinner who crossed the Rubicon without authorization, and the tragic death of Little Gatu?"

"No sin or sin can be restored to the Republic. As long as you are a winner, you will not refuse the restoration of the ancient traditional order of glory. The same is true for Julius. My friend, don't be stubborn - continue to be in Pompey's camp, and you may not even be able to survive the age of running for the consul." Casio said without any grudges, and then continued to ignore Brutu's anger and expressed his willingness to Caesar.
