The javelin stabbed under the elephant's eye socket. It was bleeding, but it was also furious. The two soldiers saw with their own eyes that the elephant rushed over and rolled up the commander of Rai Bruce with its long nose. Although the commander tried to break free and was ready to bravely pull out the dagger to slash the elephant's nose, the huge animal did not give it a chance. It threw Rai Bruce into the air and then fell heavily. When Rai Bruce was about to get up, the shadow covered his body and fell rapidly. With an indescribable sound, the Roman deputy general was stepped into flesh mud by the elephant's legs, and the internal organs and blood were splattered everywhere.

After King Juba entered the elephant herd, about two thousand soldiers of Raibruth's front team were driven to a cliff, and the cavalry surrounded the group like a beast. Then the elephant rushed over and trampled cruelly, because King Juba thought this was a very meaningful thing, and he liked to see prisoners of war making miserable screams when helpless, and were killed by his army.

When it was almost night, the mountain where Curio escaped was also captured by the cavalry of Juba, who had an absolute advantage in numbers. The soldiers under Curio were dead, and the bodies were piled up like wheat that had just been harvested. The Roman commander's body was unknown. Many cavalrymen were basing torches to find his whereabouts, whether they were alive or dead.

Quindus and Rufus had just run to the old camp of Gornalius, and asked Marclus and Maximus to mobilize all the warships and merchant ships, take them to escape, and run back to Sicily, anyway, I can't stay here.

"No!" Marclus flatly refused, and then asked the two who fled. The enemy was now outside the Three Romes. How many pursuers were there. As a result, Cicero's younger brother was ashamed and hesitated for a long time but couldn't understand.

Then, Maximus took the initiative to ask the two to hand over all the soldiers to him, and with some armed paddlers, they continued to approach Utika along the camp, "You can't abandon the Governor at will!" It's hard to believe that this was said from the mouth of a fleet commander.

Fortunately, they were not attacked, and there was no sign of Pompei's army in the Three Romans - they all received orders to gather in Utika and attack another Masi legion.

The battle at Utika City ended faster. King Juba was 40,000, and Pompei's two legions of the inside and outside. The rear of the 17th Legion of the Masi was abandoned by friendly forces. However, he could not retreat, so he had to surrender. As a result, most of them were unlucky and walked into King Juba's army. Then, under the order of the king, Ma Ge and Tap took all the surrendered soldiers under the blockade wall they built a few days ago and massacred them all.

After learning about this, Pompei was very angry, but he could not help but be helpless. The current King Juba was able to despise Rome's authority in Africa. He did whatever he wanted. He could not tell the difference between the Massi and the Romans. In his eyes, they were all bad guys from Italy and they all wanted to kill them.

After searching for dawn, but failed to find the rest of Curio's generals, they could only board the ship as soon as possible to retreat. Some ships were destroyed due to overload and finally returned to Sicily, but the survivors of the 22nd Legion, which had the most recruits and rookies.

About a month later, the news that the four legions of Aphilica Curio "almost equal to the annihilation of the entire army" was officially spread to the city of Rome, and rumors of Pompey's counterattack on Sicily followed one after another. The city was in chaos, with some terror and some excited.

"The young general Curio, because of his extreme loyalty to the dictator, could not contain his courage or too impulse, and was ambushed by the enemy and suffered a tragic defeat." In the house of Seville, Caesar, who was inviting many powerful figures to the banquet, held the font board thoughtfully, but he did not mean to hide it, but sighed, "But General Curio and the equally brave Marsi Alliance Legion still gave the enemy a terrible damage. However, I have to do everything myself, and I will immediately take all the legions of Italy in the season of suitable navigation to fight Pompey!"

After hearing Caesar's words, the guests seemed to have relieved. It seemed that the dictator still had enough strength to make up for the impact of Afiriga's crushing defeat.

So the strings continued to sing. On the other couch, Li Bida was having a great conversation with Atya and her new husband, Phillips, who had served as the consul and a well-known orator, and was now telling a pun joke to the cavalry commander.

"I think I should be asked to participate in the war in Afriga right away, so that Pompey will not take any resistance and will surrender directly." Phillips said soothingly, then looked around the guests, and the surprised expression on their faces made them very proud.

"Then I must tell you to take it with you and live in the same tent, otherwise the credit will be taken away by others." Li Bida looked very good.

"You know, Pompey claims to be Alexander, and I am Phillips. Will Alexander the Great refuse the request of his father Philip?" Phillips made a playful announcement in an imitating his father's tone. Then many guests, including Li Bida, understood the meaning of this pun and laughed happily.

Later, Atiya changed the subject and asked Li Bida about the date of the marriage between Turinus and Corinna, but Li Bida opposed his daughter's marriage too early. He obviously thought that it was harmful to Corinna's body, but Atiya seemed very enthusiastic about this matter. In general, some things allowed Roman ladies to obtain the same satisfaction as men who fought in the world of fame and fortune, and also organized their children's marriages.

"Dear Phillips, I don't think you were just talking to Pompeius, or he is still in the hearts of the Romans, the words of the great Pompeius, which are elegant words that decent characters can say." The person who made such words was Brutu, who held the wine glass and looked serious.

Phillips was obviously a little embarrassed, and Atya's question about the marriage of his children was interrupted. The orator immediately explained to Brutu that he was just a prank and had no bad intentions, because many of them were about to go to the battlefield of life and death, and he just wanted to adjust the atmosphere.

But Brutu seemed to ignore him at all, just staring at Li Bida who was still sitting on the couch.

Li Bida also looked back at him a few times. There was no provocative content in his eyes, but then he did not say anything. Instead, he stood up and said goodbye to everyone politely.

"Vicentoli of Gaul and General Itasos of Liguria both sent a legion to assist the dictator's expedition. I still need to handle the delivery." (To be continued, please search Piaotianyi, the novel is better, updated and faster!
