Chapter 7 The Grove (Part 1)

"If you want to find a virgin, you can only not beg for love." - Ovid

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

These days, Amathius indeed turned Caesar's crematorium into an altar in the center of the Grand Plaza. Every day, thousands of street hooligans with full arms and kind eyes gathered around him, vowing to avenge Caesar's death.

"Train the murderer until the pillars of Hercules, or the Syrian desert." This was the slogan of Amathius. The wealthy knights and foreigners also took action and donated to this much money, especially the Jews in the city of Rome, were even more generous, because they were afraid that once Caesar's political enemies came to power, the plans that had previously promised to them would be gone.

But Brutu and others were still stranded on Capitoer Mountain and could not go down the mountain.

Now the entire city, the Senate and the People's Congress are no longer held, all interrupted by Caesar's death, and the markets and celebrations are lost. The timid people dare not come out for a walk, no matter day or night.

Li Bida sent several rounds of envoys to invite Anthony out. The two joined forces to preside over the new Senate rally, but Anthony stayed in the Begalong Manor and did not agree with Li Bida's idea. Now Anthony spent a lot of money on Caesar's legacy, and the act of recruiting veterans was obvious. His guards now have as many as two thousand people, most of them were former ten-hunters and centurions. This group of people protected the Begalong Manor. In addition, Anthony announced the order of "closing the city" through Ijiurus, with the order of the cavalry commander. The Senate also defaulted on it.

"What exactly is Anthony going to do?" Sometimes Li Bida would ask the people around him clearly. "Is he waiting for the Skylark Legion to cross the sea?"

"This is obvious. Anthony is reaching a compromise with the Senate and will fight back against you and embezzle Caesar's legacy." Sabo and Helsios replied at this time, "The Holy Library has been sealed now, and the Senate's edict is to wait for the formal establishment of the expeditionary candidates to be opened for use by the army."

"Actually, I have to wait for Anthony's fifth legion to open it. Is it all distributed to my subordinates together with Caesar's private legacy, and I will lure my Sixth Legion, Twelfth Legion, and Tenth Legion for his use, right?" Li Bida sighed, "Why do things go like this? Is it necessary to hold a banquet now, asking Bisso to be the arbitrator and master, and let Julius, Anthony and Li Bida's family members, as well as Caesar's trusted aides? Let's talk about it. Isn't it better?"

After saying this, Li Bida crossed the fish pond and sat down in the towering study, then said to Matthia, "Now we can formally compile the book and send it to Apollonia, and ask Turinus and Leo to come. It is time for them to appear, because Anthony's recent behavior has been a bit too much."

Outside is the Apollonian Philosophy Academy with blue waves. In the gymnasium, two groups of teenagers wearing short shirts and barefoot smearing olive oil were glaring at each other. A group of guys with fat and short hair were leading the way, "My father is Casca, the special father of Rome. Now he has sent me a letter to me, saying that your tyrant adoptive father has been executed and killed in the theater. His death is abominable and miserable, and Brutu and Kassi have already met with acquaintance.

If you give the Republic a fairness, the tyrant's property will be confiscated immediately. The lowly guy Tulinus is just the son of a currency exchanger. By being a child for your adoptive father, you are qualified to run to this academy before. Then once the national resolution is issued, you can get out. Thank God, just staying in the same place with the tyrant's child and adopted son, you will feel foul."

Tulinus was so angry that he shivered all over, but he still restrained himself and persuaded Casca, "Now is the time to practice skills, so don't involve topics that have nothing to do with it. You have beaten and expelled almost all the teachers in this half month!"

"This is called the great Athenian democracy. When we arrive in Rome, we must abide by the republic. Now the colleges in Athens and Milidu have been moving. Virgil and Horace are the leaders of all young people. Virgil also said that the last thing he regrets in his life is to help the tyrant write the Aeneid. He has burned the original manuscript with Horace. Give up, no one will support the tyrant and his cubs." Little Casca was proud of his companions, "Then now, who is still a ignorant of the current affairs, and still stands with this low-key boy from a knight family?"

At this time, many of the classmates who originally sympathized with Tulinus were frightened by the power of little Casca, so they lowered their heads and stood there obediently.

"I understand you, I don't blame you, because little Casca has now turned the peaceful and peaceful academy into a fighting field in the Roman bull market. Now your speech is very satisfied with all the 'people'. Can we study?" Tulinus is now the only two people left by his side, Leo and Agripa.

But little Casca was unwilling to let it go, and he continued to mock, "Even Virgil has abandoned you. Look at your poor appearance, do you dare to go back to Rome to inherit the dirty inheritance of the tyrants? Take this alien cub and this ragged boy?"

At this time, Leo came out and saluted Casca first, and then refuted, "I don't think a person violated the duties he had previously accepted. He had no gratitude in his heart when this duties brought him benefits. Instead, changing his face when the situation changes is a glorious act, so I think Virgil and Horace are both wrong, and they will regret it in the future."

Little Casca and his accomplices were amused by Leo's pedantic behavior, but Leo did not have any shy expression, but chased, "Maybe the moment of regret comes faster, respectable Casca, after all, your father's behavior is even more disgraceful. Assassinating someone stronger than you is the most incompetent and cowardly act. I don't think you should be complacent about it. Just apologize - to Tulinus, for yourself."

Leo's sincere words were a nude provocation in Little Casca's eyes. He became irritable. The dense acne on his white and fat face was so angry that he almost exploded. Then Little Casca roared and rushed towards Leo. As a result, Leo punched him in front and hit the bridge of his nose. Then Little Casca fell down instantly. As soon as he remembered it on the ground, Leo cut him off with one hand, and another punch at his cheek with the other hand, and he fainted cleanly.

"Little Casca, maybe you should really practice fighting fist, instead of spending your time quarrel with kind classmates." Leo, who knocked Casca out of his heart, said to him in a very sincere tone, but Casca couldn't hear it for the time being.

The others rushed forward, Tulinus blocked Leo and defeated two people, and Agripa also ran to the side of the group with cleverness and fought, and the three of them actually had the advantage in the scene...
