"One hundred armed personnel cannot control a city-state with ten thousand people; but ten thousand imperial guards can silence the country of ten million people." - Edward. Yoshiben

"Call him to see me. If I remember correctly, he is the guardian of Krien, right?" Octavian struggled, and then he said to all the people and veterans who followed him, "There is a garden of adoptive father ahead. According to the will, it is free to develop for any citizen. We do not need to disrupt the order of the market and the streets, so we go there to camp."

Thousands of followers were carrying luggage and items in an orderly manner, walking towards the vast garden that Octavian said. As a result, when the crowd and the convoy walked to the fence on the periphery, they were stopped by several centurions with ornaments on their breastplate. "Get away, this is not a place for refugees and poor people to come!"

Suddenly, there were noises and angrily curses, but the centurions' expressions were even more ferocious. They drew their swords directly, as if they didn't take the people opposite at all. At this moment, the citizens watching the excitement of Rome also surrounded them one after another. Octavian leaned on the shaft of the car, begging his friends to find out what was going on ahead.

"Didn't Julius' will stipulate that his gardens on both sides of the Tiber River can be freely open to everyone for free?" Octavian, who learned the truth, was very puzzled.

Then Agripa looked in the direction of trouble and then said to the people around him, "The centurions are all Gauls, and Yu Ling is obviously from the Fifth Legion, all subordinates of Anthony's younger brother Gaius."

At this time, Leo had already strode forward and asked the centuries to respect the will of His Excellency Caesar during his lifetime, because it was not for the welfare of a certain person, but for all citizens. Leo's words made many people who came to watch boldly also stir up.

The centurions of the Fifth Legion were furious and were about to come forward to grab Leo, but many Caesar veterans behind Leo, including Avenus, also stepped forward and showed off the hidden daggers, which scared the centurions to retreat a few steps. One of them was still arrogant, "Hey, you, blow the whistle quickly, and two legions will arrive soon, killing all these guys who dare to invade the purity of the garden - you are finished!" After saying that, he pointed at Leo with his finger, and Octavian who could not get up in the car, and said intimidation.

At this time, Octavian endured his pain and weakness. He got out of the car resolutely, and then stood swaying in front of the centurions of the Fifth Legion. He said, "I don't care what kind of orders you have taken now, guarding here and not allowing others to enjoy the kindness and generosity of Caesar, but I have to warn you that you are wrong. I am his inheritor. My name has been changed from the original Octavian to his name. The person next to me is the son of the former cavalry commander Libidaus, so I hope you can give up this service and leave the gardens of my adoptive father. You have no right to refuse my request at all!"

Who would have thought that those centurions, after hearing this, did not leave or resist stubbornly, kneeled down in front of Octavian and Leo, and cried directly in front of everyone, shouting that we were eager to avenge the dead Lord Julius, but no one led us to do so. Since you are the new "Caesar" and have inherited his legacy, can you hope for you and hate your death?

"Then I ask you, how did your supreme commander do it?" Octavian's tone was very calm and he did not give a positive answer. Several "lap" centurions looked at each other, then lowered their heads, as if they were indescribable. Octavian also sighed slightly, "Let's leave this garden, Leo, I hope your father's Ostia River Harbor's property has not been confiscated yet."

"No need, let's go directly to the newly built Executive Yuan. I heard that it was completely abandoned after your adoptive father passed away!" Leo suggested.

So the team threw the centurions who were still kneeling on the ground and shouting and shouting, and walked towards the Executive Yuan hall on the other side of the river harbor. Then they all set up obstacles and tents along this place until Mount Evandini. Agripa warned everyone in public that they should not walk around, do not engage in any abuses, and that any hawkers and prostitutes should not enter the camp. All logistics supplies were purchased by Mesenas and Avenus.

But Mesenas, who was embarrassed, came over and said to Octavian who was lying in the hall of the Executive Yuan to rest, "The money raised in Rupee Izza has been spent."

"I understand this, so I will send someone to invite Pedith and Diccias to come. I will salute them and can merge the inheritance they have obtained according to the will of my adoptive father."

"Why don't you ask Anthony and Colpnia to hand over the big legacy?" Leo, who was sitting next to him, asked softly.

"The situation is very obvious today. The big head's legacy has been swallowed up by Anthony. At least in terms of cash. The only thing I can hope for is that the real estate can be returned to my hands." Octavian pondered, "The situation is not very good now. The information I have received now, Leo, your mother and sister, are under the control of Anthony. The guardian's public enemy status has not been lifted yet, and my inheritance of my legacy has not yet been settled. So, is the guardian asking us to come to Rome, which is a test of our strength? Interesting... Leo, Agripa, what should you do next?"

"You can be divided into two steps. Tulinus, first of all, you should fulfill Caesar's promise and win the support of all the people and veterans; and secondly, you should ask Anthony for inheritance. Even if he will scold you like an old man, the truth is on our side, and there is no need to be afraid." Leo suggested, "As for my sister and mother, don't worry, they were placed in Anthony's own house by my father, but he would not dare to take them at all."

"That's good! I'm going to write a letter, not only asking me for the inheritance of Pedis and Diccias, but also asking my mother to sell all her property to fulfill her adoptive father's promise."

The next day, the news that Octavian, the young Caesar, came to Rome, had spread throughout the city of Seven Hills, but the veteran nobles, even Cicero, who strongly advocated his arrival, were tacitly silent because these old guys were observing in the dark. They were really not very confident in recognizing the abilities of these young men. "Let's take a look at how far this young Caesar can go?"
