Chapter 23 Military Competition (Part 2)
In a nutshell, this is probably reasonable. Caesar was a great Romanist. The premise of "Great Rome" determined that in his mind, the Romans should be the rulers of the world, the maker of civilization norms, and the legislator of the rituals of all people. On the other hand, like Katu, the view that Rome was a "small country but few people" city-state on the Tiber River was by no means ideal for Caesar, and this was also the biggest difference between him and Katu's concept.
So when Caesar presided over the leadership of his civil rights to the Gaul area he conquered, he immediately appointed Anthony and Gaius to recruit regular legions in this area to make up for the number of the "One to Five" legions in his sequence; and when he arrived in Greece and Xiaoya, he began to recruit more auxiliary legions, and the scale of the war in the Roman world seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
So Li Bida adapted the newly surrendered 6th and 9th Legions of Macedonia into the 31st and 32nd Legions; Adianna sent five thousand troops to assist Caesar, divided into the 33rd and 34th Legions, namely the "Bendu Legions" and the "Black Navy Legions"; Diotalus also provided Caesar with two legions, which were the elites of the Kingdom of Gerasha, unified and imitated the tactics and equipment of the Roman legion, namely the 35th and 36th Legions, commanded by the old king's son and son-in-law, and prepared to serve the Roman dictator at any time; finally, Dehimos of Syria no longer said anything about "strictly maintaining neutrality" and immediately returned the 15th Legions of the original Gaul Province, and swore allegiance to Caesar. This legion was also adapted by Li Bida into the 37th Legions.
In fact, there are only about 3,000 people in each legion, which is also the disadvantage of large-scale expansion of numbers. It is more of a bluff and a psychological war of pressure against the enemy.
Then Libida sent the thirty-three and thirty-fourth legions to Ephesus on standby, while thirty-one and thirty-two remained in his winter camp to train. The two auxiliary armies provided by the Kingdom of Gerasha swept the Pompei remnants in Silesia and Little Armenia to maintain public order. As for the thirty-seventh legions, Libida did not let it come to Asimanus to gather and capture the whole country, but directly asked it to go south from Syria and force Herod, the Great Judea, to hand over the hostages and fines.
Soon, with the support of the Achilles fleet, the 12th Legion completely conquered all areas of the Bosphorus Kingdom and came triumphantly. The Sixth Legion and Thirteenth Legion who remained in Libida Fort also completed the project of barriers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and went to Mount Asimanus to participate in the winter camp.
After April, all the snow melted, and there were seven legions in Libida's camp, which were strong and powerful. The winter camp stretched out in several Romans, and the streets built by soldiers were connected by all walks of life. Every day, dealers from all over Xiaoya were flowing continuously, and the spoils had not been sold until April. Today, in front of the camp, the centurion and soldiers on duty blew malicious whistles, "Look, the most beautiful horse in Asia is here!"
Adiana wore a Persian embroidered shirt and a blanket in Damascus. She sat on a sedan chair under a huge parasol. Behind her, there were servants holding sticks and flags. A team of hundreds of people entered the camp. However, this was common to soldiers. The Queen of Ubertnia would come about two to three times a month to meet the cavalry commander. So many soldiers who had not been able to see her face would specially team up to ask for duty on the date Adiana arrived.
In the temporary amphitheater built with wood on the edge of the camp, Adianna once again invited Li Bida to watch Greek dramas. The queen was in a particularly good mood today. Although this simple theater was simply no different from the troupe she had watched with Li Bida in the city of Tegrasetta, she still ordered the eunuchs to send generous gifts to all the actors in advance, and held the cavalry commander's arm under the parasol, and enthusiastically asked to bet with him.
"How about betting on the lottery for 5,000 dinars? Two troupes act in the same drama. If the former wins, I will win, and if the latter wins, you will win."
Li Bida agreed, but when the two troupes took the stage to perform hard, he kept yawning, as if he had no interest in the drama performance, which made Adiana, who won the bet in the end, unhappy. However, when the next program - a team of gladiators from Thrace and Gaul, entered the amphitheater, Li Bida immediately stood up and applauded and shouted slogans with the other audience members. This reaction made Adiana very angry, "Binary-eared pottery jar, you have lived in the countryside of Rome for a long time, and indeed abandoned the noble fun and only cared about the bloody performance of harpoons and swords!"
As a result, the other party handed over the fruit plate, "Dear Queen, I invite you to participate in the God of War Competition in three days."
Alas?Adianna heard about this competitive meeting a month ago. Libida announced at the foot of Mount Asimanus that this mountain is one of the towering peaks of the entire Little Ya. He wanted to imitate the behavior of the Roman Republic when "liberating" Greece, and to hold a grand competitive meeting, namely the "God of War Athletics", in the countries that gathered all of Xiao Ya. Because the meeting was on the "Marce Festival" on April 2, he got this name. Libida asked the entire Asia Minor and the countries around the ocean to send competitive representatives to participate. Of course, his army would also send athletes, and then everyone would pay respects and sacrifices to the God of War.
So, today when Adianna came, the entire camp was particularly lively. Not only vendors, but also people wearing various ethnic costumes, it seems that they are all competitive representatives from afar. "This, of course, let me accompany you through the first God of War Competition, which sounds a little bit more interesting."
On April 3, the weather was beautiful. The large campus in the center of Asimanus' camp was surrounded by colorful tents and crowds. Many dealers shuttled through it. "Units for rent, parasols for rent! Nuts and Sumerian ale beer are sold, cool and quench thirst, cool and quench thirst." "The commemorative statues of Asimanus Athletic Association, wood-carved, copper-carved, iron-carved, and fair and reasonable prices!" "Hey, you came from afar, and you must be lonely alone. The women here are all from Milidu and Kaios, and their fame resounds throughout the ocean. The service standards are unified, and you will never regret it!"
