"The Gauls believed that unless the fortification was broken, all hopes of escape would be cut off, and the Romans also believed that as long as this day could be withstood, all hard work would end from now on. ∷" - The description of the Battle of Alesia in "The War of Gallic"

Then Anthony waved his hand, and many dancers immediately surrounded him barefoot, half-pulled and pressed the two young civil servants half-pressed, "sitted" on the couch, and then began to serve delicious food, wine and beauty.

"Hey, you slut, stay away from my friend's son. He has just married a lady from a famous family. Don't stain your dirty skin with his robes. Just serve the heir of the great Caesar, ah haha." Anthony shouted at the dancer who rubbed against Leo, and was so scared that the other party screamed, and even the wine spilled out, splashing on Octavian and Leo.

Octavian stood up in anger and slapped the dancer in the face. The other party held the plate and his hair was scattered. Anthony continued to laugh aloofly, and only Leo stepped forward and helped the poor girl up, comforted her a few words, and told her to hurry to the backyard to clean up her makeup, otherwise the madam would be seen, and she would not be able to guarantee her labor allowance tonight.

The girl hurriedly got up in a sneer, thanked Leo a few times, then covered her face and ran to the backyard. "I will not be stingy with this little money. I am as generous as your father, no, I am more generous than Li Bida!" Anthony shouted, and after that, he shouted to the servant around him, "Give the girl three hundred dinar silver coins, yes, immediately withdraw it from the account room and tell her. Because Li Bida's son helped her up, she was favored by the goddess of fate."

At this moment, Duo Mufeng, who was watching this scene on the outside of the porch, whispered a few times to the girl running over, glanced at Leo with admiration, and turned around and headed to the account.

At the same time, under the cover of night, Mesenas and Agripa wrapped in tight cloaks, stepped on the Paladin Mountain path and entered from the backyard of Cicero's mansion. In the hall, Cicero was angrily scolding and scolding, angry that his son-in-law, Eurabel, had completely betrayed him, colluded with Anthony, and deceived his father-in-law's innocent feelings. It was really hateful!

So when these two appeared in front of him, he was still in a very bad mood. He just indifferently invited the two new military civilian officials to sit down, and then asked if he needed his help when the legion was assigned to the post. "But maybe I would have to collect compensation in advance. There is simply no trustworthy person in this world, even relatives are no exception."

"We know this completely. Urabella will soon abandon you and go to the east to take office, but Caesar calls us to come to tell you a more urgent danger, that is, if Anthony succeeds, then you and your family may not be disappointed." Mesenas said, "Dear Your Excellency, in the present world, it is very terrible without the support of the legions. Now Anthony is the governor of the Macedonian province, and all six legions belong to him. In addition, the Skylark Legion in his hand, once he is asked to re-serve Caesar's veterans and annex the armed forces of Shannan Gaul, his hands will soon expand to the strength of twelve to fifteen legions. Then he wants to do what Rome is, right, right?"

Cicero certainly understood this. He sighed and felt that the world was difficult. Where could his financial resources and image get the support of the legion? He sent his younger brother Quindus to Gaul for this purpose, but now the 14th Legion has been pulled over by Dihemoth in a few words. Quindus, the former commander, was the same as no one. A person without money and ambition, was just a passing cloud in the eyes of the soldiers.

"Let Caesar protect you!" Agripa said generously and straightforwardly.

Hearing this, Cicero couldn't believe his ears. What a joke! Just because of this young boy, where did the legion come from?

But in a blink of an eye he thought again that Leo was Libida's son. Octavian might have to use his influence to use the four legions gathered in Brindisi, and the sixth and tenth legions took away, all of which were more or less involved with Libidaus, but Libida is now far away in the province of Nabo, so why should a few kids compete with Anthony?

"Please rest assured, you only need to exert your eloquent expertise and influence in the Senate." Mesenas said with a smile, and then he slowly stood up and approached Cicero under the lights...

Here, the banquet at Bergalondi Manor is coming to an end. Octavian and Leo are obviously ill of drinking. Anthony's feet are already "indulgent", with slaves and dancers constantly busy cleaning up in front of his knees.

"I'm about to go out to fight to kill Dihemoth, who is the first in despicable level. Someone will send the votes of the People's Congress and the Senate. If he dares to resist, then use the army to flatten him!" Anthony's heroic words appeared again, but this time he relied on his alcohol to say to the two people sitting opposite him, "My wife and mother are both left in the city of Rome, so I make a request to the Senate." Then he burped his back and looked at Octavian and Leo, "I need Leo, you, follow me to join the army to Gaul, Shannan..."

The whole scene seemed to have frozen suddenly. Octavian murmured with Caesar's name, and then he said to Anthony, "Are you asking me for hostages? Then you obviously have a distrust of our covenant. Are you still afraid of a teenager?"

"Everyone wants to guarantee the retreat, everyone is the same! You must know that I didn't ask for you after all, Caesar - this is a retreat, because everyone knows that I will not hurt Leo. He is Li Bida's son - if you were you, it wouldn't be." Anthony immediately slapped the little bitch, and the wine splashed, and his eyes were red...

The next day, Cicero suddenly and Barcelona jointly announced that he would strengthen the configuration of Anthony's expedition army, hoping that Anthony could temporarily postpone his expedition to Gaul, Shannan, and wait for the Spanish legions to arrive, so he asked the Senate to allocate two to three legions to him.

Around the same day, Cicero also read out Dihemoth's letter from Shannan Gaul, which contained his defense, "Since Anthony can disrespect the Caesar Memorandum and the Senate's Edict, I don't need to respect the resolution of the Tebris Monastery - my sword slave has established a new legion, and now I have four legions in my hands, and I am also planning to recruit another fully armed new legion here. If Anthony comes, then come! I have joined forces with Libidaus
