Chapter 7 Loyalty and Betrayal (1)

"Star more fire, less bleeding."—

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Li Bida's heart was trembling. Even he still took the word board with an incredible emotion. However, when Caesar saw his expression below, he smiled and explained, "Not to mention other legions, the Tenth Legion, I love the most. I have no less than three mutinies. Even if I forgave most of the people this time, the soldiers will still form bad habits in mutinies and will easily be encouraged by those who are considered leaders, so Li Bida, you don't have to be ruthless."

After hearing this, Li Bida's brows swayed slightly, and then he raised a question, "If the iron nail was used to punish him, I'm afraid the soldiers of the 10th Legion would be dissatisfied, right? Or if he used to use ten draws, it would be very difficult to operate."

"No, no, Karabis, I am not that cruel or inhumane. I just drive these people away from the Ten Legions. You are responsible for finding a reasonable reason and proclaiming me to do it in public. But I always hope to see one or two of them die, so sending them to the dangerous frontline and perform dangerous tasks is a good way - in short, you must keep the soldiers fearful of the handling of the officers and commanders within an acceptable range. This is the way to control the army." After Caesar finished speaking, he patted Li Bida on the shoulder and signaled that he could arrange this matter.

Li Bida walked out of the camp and saw the huge fleet in the sunset. The sails of all ships were packed. The oars were also placed. The oars, crew members and soldiers carried the materials needed for navigation and combat on the dock. Caesar's new policy for wartime provinces was indeed effective. Although the elders and knights were crying and pretending to be poor on weekdays, they felt that the contracting of provincial taxes was profitable, and they did not frown their eyebrows. Caesar instantly became rich, so they were very concerned about the investment in combat equipment. In addition, Caesar also discussed with Li Bida. After completely defeating Pompei, they divided Numidia and also included it as a wartime province. There were also Libya areas, which could add two provinces to serve as a greater reserve force for future action.

At this moment, Vicintoli and Itassus both stood in front of the main entrance of their camp and bowed to pay homage to Li Bida. Vicintoli had a beard and tied his long golden hair apart, with a golden crown ring on it and a luxurious cloak. It was majestic. It seemed that the war to suppress the Vinettes had won great honors and benefits in Rome and the state. He respectfully called Li Bida the adoptive father, but in fact the other party was not much older than him; and Itassus was still the side fisherman, with a bitter brow hanging with a melancholy and calm expression on his face, even though he was already the chief consul of Liguria.

Just after the greetings, Li Bida took two people to the destination, because the ships belonging to the 10th Legion were also prepared in the harbor. Although most of the people were still repairing in Naples, as the military guards who came first, they still had to make sufficient preparations for the advancement of the large army.

Without any difficulty, Li Bida found two legion guards who were specifically responsible for this matter, Avenus and Vonteuth. They were commanding the hoarding work in front of the ship. When they saw the former cavalry commander, they immediately saluted and saluted. Li Bida greeted them with a smile, and then asked about the progress of the work routinely. The answer they got was that everything went smoothly.

"This ship looks quite small, I wonder what it is useful?" Li Bida said inadvertently pointing at one of the single row boats. Then, before the two military civil servants answered, he yelled and said, "Isn't this the one I pulled out of the fleet from Cyrani's side? I can recognize the bow of the ship, and then patted the two people on the shoulders very familiarly and said, "It just so happens that this boat will be used to place horses and luggage for your civil servants."

"But now the soldiers of the 10th Legion are about to be replenished. There will be no small number of people traversing the sea, and the ships are also relatively nervous. Will it cause gossip on one of them to ship our mounts and luggage?" asked Vonteyus.

Li Bida said it had nothing to do with it. Anyway, I decided to make this ship, even if it was given to you, it would be fine.

So after giving in a while, the two military civilian officials felt that they could not resist the kindness of the former cavalry commander, so they finally accepted this fact by default.

Next, Li Bida seemed to have been prepared. His slaves not only transported the things that military guards should have onto the ship, but also brought many additional gifts, many pottery jars and boxes to the deck. The two guards hurriedly refused, but Li Bida hurriedly said that this was asking the guards Duoduo to let the 10th legion to support his army, especially the 12th, 15th and 16th legion, so that Caesar would consider his own army when setting up a resettlement area in Afilga.

Avenus and Vonteyus hated for a while, and reluctantly accepted Li Bida's "feelings and affection".

After "arranged" everything, Li Bida and the two continued walking in front of the coast for a while, but the topic seemed to be mostly focused on Vichentoli, "How does it feel to have a marriage with Proch?"

"Entertainment father, you have a marriage with the granddaughter of Li Bida, and then there are female slaves and queens of the East. Now I'll ask me how I feel about marriage?" Vichentoli retorted.

Libida was speechless, but only warned Vicintoli to show off his own good performance in the war in Afiliga to win greater glory of the Alvini tribe. Then he cared about another adopted son, Paruma. Although the little pigeon always wrote letters to him, Libida still felt that it would be more at ease and at ease to inquire about the verbal story.

"Your adopted son is a very brave and flexible young man. Although his legs and feet are inconvenient, he still completed the task of the top peak many times. My letters were written by me, because he did not understand written texts, but he was very smart. He was highly appreciated by Gallius, the commander of the Seventh Legion. He won medals many times in the battle to pacify the Vinettes. Now he is serving as the "camping attendant" of General Gallius, and his wife has also come to the new colonial city of Orleans. Your adoptive father, Parumma will sooner or later become the leading figure of Orleans. All Romans and Gauls respect this person very much. He is a person who is enough to become your future right-hand man."

Vichintoli's reply made Li Bida particularly excited, and then he said that he would soon be operating and granting citizenship to the city of Orleans.

"Maybe, the Alvini tribe will eventually become a state under Rome, and even as the Roman territory expands, it can become a city with voting rights. But I doubt whether all this is what I want." Vicentoli sighed, "Sometimes, I think that once the Gauls wear robes and receive Roman law and military education, the ability reflected is no worse than that of the native Romans."
