In the manor of Bergalon, Leo sat quietly in the garden. Several servants and armed centurions stood outside a dozen Roman rulers in front and behind him, walking around. The flowers in the garden were beautiful. Leo did nothing, but sat there reading books, from the second moment of sunrise to mid-day, and then he put down the scroll, stood up, and said to a slave, "I want to have a meal, thank you."

The servant looked at him a few times and hurried to the backyard. After a while, he brought the plate and drinks. Leo took it and said thank you. Then he placed it on the stone table in front and started to eat calmly.

In the evening, a group of centurions, cooks and servants were already surrounded by Leo, sitting and nesting, listening to Leo's allegorical stories in the book, and burst into laughter from time to time until Anthony and Curio turned out of the porch.

"You can't delay. Everyone knows that Cicero's move poses a ill-intention. He has increased the command and amount of your legion. In fact, after Telureas and Pompey return, they will take the opportunity to disarm and power and eliminate you like Kathirin." Curio, who hid his appearance in the depths of his cloak, persuaded in a hoarse voice.

"But I only have the Fifth and Tenth Legions on hand now, and I still accept my command. Diheimos now has four or five legions, and there are rumors that he has joined forces with Li Bida?" Anthony was a little embarrassed, and then he and Curio walked into the garden. By the way, they saw Leo, the slaves and centurions, and they immediately scattered.

Anthony smiled and intentionally walked up to Leo's face and said, "You are not a civilian guardian now, but a military civilian guardian under my jurisdiction."

"Yes, Father, Lord Anthony." Leo stood up and saluted.

"Then tell me now what I can do to get out of this game."

"You should be faithful to reconciliation and friendship with Caesar. And admit your mistakes to my father in time and make peace again," said Leo.

"No, I wanted to share power with your father. This was easy for me and him, but your father pretended to be noble and forced me everywhere. I had no choice but to join forces with the Senate and expel him and asked him to reflect outside." Anthony made an angry expression and scolded Leo.

"If you and him are core members of the Amborodes Society, you should trust him. My father once said that people should uphold credit, and since he is the guardian of Turinus in His Excellency Julius' will, he must fulfill his duties as a guardian. So I personally think that you should do what I just said."

"I will never bow my head to your father. Since I didn't bow my head once, I will never, otherwise I will be ruined and you know?" Anthony roared.

"Then I have nothing to say, Father, Lord Anthony." After Leo finished speaking, he sat down and said nothing.

Anthony looked at the child for a while and then waved his hand, meaning to go with you, "Anyway, I don't treat you as a prisoner or a hostage. Before I go to war, you can walk around the manor at will without restricting your freedom - it's better to follow me after war. Since you are a military civilian guardian, you have to go to the battlefield to experience the ups and downs."

Next, the letter lawsuit between Anthony and Dehimos was still in full swing. "I will change the ultimatum to Dehimos on June 7th, the day before the Civilians' Athletic Festival. If he does not automatically disarm, then I will march into Shannan Gaul." Anthony said in the Senate, so the veterans nodded in praise and asked the clerk to copy it and send it to Dehimos.

A few days later, Diheimos wrote back, "I advise Anthony not to do this, or delay the date a little, otherwise he will become a public enemy of the country faster."

"Don't bully too much!" Anthony could no longer hold back. He and Gaius led their entourage to Campenia, announcing the formal resumption of the eighth, nineh and eleventh legions, and promised to give all veterans more wages and more fertile land to resettle. "After capturing Shannan Gaul and killing Diximos, everyone there will be evenly divided into good land."

The veterans of these three legions were already unable to bear the suffering of Jiafeng, so they immediately became armed and joined Anthony's sequence. After the sacrificial ceremony of the expedition, Anthony instructed his younger brother Gaius, "You are now the chief legal officer of the city of Rome. If Libida's thirteenth and fifteenth legions re-employment and then came to Brindisi, and after joining the Sixth and Twelveth legions, you will mobilize everyone in this capacity, and say that I and Libida secretly signed a covenant to avenge Caesar together, and the siege of Dehimos is only the first step."

Then he sent people to take out the eagle mark from the temple, and armed all the troops, passing by Julia's synagogue, and asked all the elders to stand between the steps and columns to watch, called "Dianyue", but in fact this was a warning to them.

After the power of the country, Anthony came to the Bergalondi Manor and asked Leo to set off with him. Leo left a handwritten letter on the stone table and said to the slaves of Anthony's house beside him, "This letter is for my wife Vivia, and I hope you will submit it at that time."

"You can't write to anyone, child." Just as the slave was about to come, Curio suddenly appeared, stood in the garden, looked at Leo gloomy and said, scaring the slave to return the letter.

"Write whatever he wants!" Anthony also walked in and said, "What's the big deal about leaving a letter to his wife? I'm not so narrow-minded yet - by the way, you'll follow along. If something happens, your experience will be far more dangerous than that of Fulivia and the others, because your defeated Senate has not yet been pursued."

At the same time, in Milan City, Gaul, Shannan, Dihimos also inspected his four legions with murderous intent, then handed over the task of recruiting new legions to his confidants, then stepped on the horse and raised a wooden board to all the soldiers and said, "I am a decree issued to me by the Senate privately, requiring me to lead my army into the city of Rome and rescue it from Anthony's tyranny. So the soldiers immediately went south and crossed the Rubicon River to start the fight against Anthony. In this battle, we received unanimous support from the Senate and the people, so our army will win, God bless Rome! I promise that after entering the city, all soldiers will receive a reward of three hundred dinars, ten times the centurion! But if you lose, we will all be affected by Anthony's poisonous hands and become slaves and traitors."
