"Empty words cannot satisfy your hunger." - Gat

"How can you say such things to me? I'm..."

"You are nothing, you have no legion, no experience, just full of anger and fantasy. Go back to Rome to have children and take your time according to the procedures prescribed by your ancestors! I also hope you are a person like Libidaus and Anthony, but obviously Brutu, you are not." Caesar did not breathe, and scolded the young man in front of him, and then signaled his entourage and veteran to take care of him and Casio. Then Caesar looked at the devastated flagship, and the enemy ship that fled in the wind, and said to the deputy general next to him, "I have no leisure to clean up this mess. All the staff followed me and moved to the fast paddle boat of the Rhode Islanders. I want to take advantage of this momentum to land in Calia directly!"

The next day, Caesar's ship had transferred to Caglia's beach, and the dictator, together with his followers, climbed off the boat along the rope and rowed onto the land.

On the opposite hillside, there were about four brigades of Pompei soldiers, all from the Seventh Macedonian Legion, holding shields and scattering formations, watching Caesar's every move. They saw the ships that fled back from their side last night. When the centurion asked the crew why they failed, many crew members and oarsmen were not aware of it. So they could only keep saying "Caesar was a man favored by God. His Excellency the Commander and Brutu met him with an absolute advantage on the sea. He was captured by him." This made all the soldiers feel extremely panicked.

And now, the man stood on the sandy ground of the sea water and sandy ground outside their furlongs, and jumped out of the boat calmly. He was a man with a severe bald head, with deep wrinkles on his forehead and mouth, wearing a captain's cloak and gorgeous armor, and looked like he was returning home, and opened his arms to everyone, shouting, "Put down your weapons, the war is over. The citizens of Rome, peace, heavy taxes, enslavement and death should be restored to every corner of the Republic, and should not be with anyone anymore."

"Don't listen to his lies, don't listen to that bald man. He had an affair with hundreds of women, and it was his mouth." In the queue, several centurions shouted at the soldiers who had begun to shake their hearts, and put the whistle beside their mouths. They urged the men in the front line, "Throw the javelin at the bald man. The sunlight shone on his back, and the reflection above the head was obvious. I don't need to guide you to aim at it. idiots, hurry up!"

Several bold soldiers were ready to move. They shouted and jumped out of the uneasy queue and threw the javelin at Caesar. As a result, they fell next to Caesar, but the man was still unmoved, but continued to bewitch, "The situation in the city of Rome has been settled. The Senate and the civil servants collectively elected me as the dictator. Have you forgotten the oath made by the soldiers?"

As he said this, Caesar continued to walk forward. His shield slave and the veteran were about to hold the shield in front of him, but were pushed away with one hand.

At this time, most of the soldiers of the Sixth Legion of Macedonia shouted. They grabbed the javelins and condemned the behavior of these people. Then, despite the dissuasion of the centurion, they threw down their weapons and shields, held their hands and walked down the garrison slope, and turned against Caesar to his allegiance.

Caesar traveled ten Romans in such an avalanche. Scipio's Seventh Legion also turned against each other in just half a day.

When the news reached Sepia's ears, he was stopping in the most famous magnificent building in Ephesus, the Temple of Diana (the Temple of Artemis in the mouth of the Greeks, the goddess of hunting), and looked at the mountains of treasures and holy artifacts in the temple, and there were about a dozen of them, each of whom were the elders of the city who fled to Xiaoya.

Sepia swallowed and spitted, pointed at one of the most noble elders and said, "I will send you and your city a list right away."

"What list?" the elder became angry, but he suppressed his anger and asked.

"I want to collect all the valuable things in this temple. You have to understand that this is because my soldiers spend their energy to resist the invaders and protect your city." Sepia said shamelessly.

After these words were said publicly, not only the elders of Ephesus, but also the Roman senators felt that Sepia's greed had reached the point of helplessness. The elder who was questioned said indignantly, "I didn't expect that after three hundred years apart, a second Hilostus appeared."

"Who is Hilostus? Did he do anything extraordinary three hundred years ago? Sorry, because here and in Greece are all kinds of stones and temples, and I cannot write down all the historical allusions one by one." Scipio answered elegantly until a senator next to him who had studied history books quietly attached his ears to tell him that Hilostus was a firecracker three hundred years ago. He burned the temple of the hunting goddess with a fire to attract the attention of the world.

Now, the elder general Scipio was compared to "Shilostus Second", which was obviously a satirizing his blasphemy and offense to God. At this time, Scipio, who had recovered from his senses, twisted the corner of his mouth because of his anger. He held the hilt of his sword and intimidated the elder, "So, that Hilostus is just a little thief who set fire in secret, and the anger released by my sword will not only burn this temple that looks like a centipede, but also burn your entire city. I have four regular legions in my hand, four!"

"Do you know why Goddess Diana was willing to be burned back then? It was because that day was the day when Alexander the Great was born. The goddess went to protect this great life so that the murderer could succeed!" The temple priest could not bear the domineering of the Roman general and contradicted him, "So, the man who could be favored by the goddess of hunting must be a person who was as great as Alexander the Great."

"Then let the goddess you serve come to my bed tonight and see if this boring conclusion can be fulfilled." Sepia shouted, drawing out his sword.

At this time, several veterans hurriedly hugged Scipio to prevent him from causing trouble.

Two token officers jumped off their horses at the northeast hill where the temple was located, and then hurriedly ran up the steps of the Great Temple of Diana. The information they brought interrupted the dispute: Julius Caesar had landed in Calia, and the seventh legion stationed there, and the entire fleet "spread five javelins" and then surrendered neatly.
